Some UFO records must be released, US Congress says
Some UFO records must be released, US Congress says
But advocates had hoped for even more transparency.

The United States Congress just passed legislation that directs the U.S. government to release records related to UFOs.
Some UFO records, anyway. According to new provisions in the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, the law that funds the U.S. military and related activities, the U.S. National Archives must collect for release all documents that "pertain to unidentified anomalous phenomena, technologies of unknown origin, and non-human intelligence."
None of those terms is defined in the bill, however. "Unidentified anomalous phenomena," or UAP, is a relatively a newly adopted and broadly defined term that encompasses UFOs in the sky in addition to unidentified objects underwater, in space or that appear to travel between these domains.
The records are to be released once 25 years has passed since their creation, unless the president directs them to remain classified, and newer records can be released sooner if the agency that created them allows it.
The language directing these records is known as the the UAP Disclosure Act, or the Schumer-Rounds Amendment. An earlier version of the amendment contained much stronger language that ordered the Department of Defense (DoD) to declassify records "relating to publicly known sightings" of UFOs without review, but the measure was removed from the legislation that eventually passed.
Despite the mandate in the bill, some UAP transparency advocates say the failure to pass the original amendment as written is a serious disappointment for those who feel the truth is out there and that the U.S. government has a responsibility to reveal it to the public.
"The most important components of the Schumer-Rounds language were dropped — an independent Senate-confirmed review board with subpoena power, professional staff to search out records, and other serious resources," said Douglas Dean Johnson, an independent researcher who writes on various aspects relating to UAP. "What is being enacted instead is a modest mechanism that is far less likely to result in the location, extraction and disclosure of important UAP-related records that may be tightly held or even long forgotten," Johnson told Space.com.
Christopher Mellon, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence in the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, called the bipartisan back-and-forth over the NDAA "shockingly dysfunctional."
"Regarding the UAP issue, DoD and the [intelligence community] clearly have a serious trust issue with important members of Congress who are not backing down and likely to escalate," Mellon told Space.com via email. "I've seen this pattern many times. So, although the Executive Branch feels they dodged a bullet on the Schumer language, until they earn Congress' trust, they are going to be fighting a prolonged and likely losing battle."
As word began to trickle out onto social media that the Schumer-Rounds amendment was not going to pass as originally written, many UAP transparency advocates claimed that lobbyists working for for aerospace contractors were working to kill the language in the bill, in order to protect an alleged decades-long cover-up of crashed UFO technologies. "An extremely powerful Defense Aerospace lobby is pushing key politicians in Congress to block the Schumer Amendment to the NDAA," Australian journalist and UFO transparency advocate Ross Coulthart wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).
However, those familiar with the NDAA amendment and the legislative process that eventually passed it think those claims are merely hearsay.
"I have seen no evidence of any substantial lobbying activity by aerospace firms against the UAPDA over the past 5 months. One cannot completely exclude some such influence, but any sizable campaign would leave tracks. I don't see them, and nobody has produced a single named congressmember who has referred to such activity, nor any document to support the notion," Johnson said.
Instead, resistance appears to have come from the DoD. According to the New York Times, a "person familiar with the talks who insisted on anonymity to describe them noted that the Defense Department also had pushed back forcefully on wider measures" in the bill.

Much of the current movement to pass legislation that could release U.S. government UFO records stems from a broader disclosure movement that has been building momentum in recent years both on social media and in the halls of Congress, thanks to claims made by former U.S. military and intelligence community personnel.
In July 2022, the DoD formed the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, an office established within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security that was tasked with collecting and studying reports of UFOs/UAP near U.S. military installations or "other areas of interest."
In April 2023, the office's director told the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services that AARO had found "no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology or objects that defy the known laws of physics."
Even NASA commissioned an independent panel to inform the U.S. government how the agency might help better collect and analyze data related to UAP. "The top takeaway from the study is that there is a lot more to learn," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in September 2023 when the panel released its first public report.
"The NASA independent study team did not find any evidence that UAP have an extraterrestrial origin, but we don't know what these UAP are."
In July 2023, two former U.S. Navy aviators recounted their now-famous encounters with seemingly anomalous objects in military airspace to the House of Representatives' Subcommittee on National Security at the Border and Foreign Affairs.
Another witness at the hearing, David Grusch, a U.S. military combat veteran and Pentagon intelligence officer, told the committee that the U.S. government is in possession of crashed UAP and that "biologics came with some of these recoveries."
In response, some of the members of Congress even formed a UAP caucus in support of efforts to compel the federal government to release what records or information they claim it possesses related to UFOs and the alleged "UAP reverse engineering programs" it operates.
Representative Tim Burchett (R-TN), one of the more vocal members of Congress when it comes to the UAP transparency issue, said that the government has evidence that UFOs can "travel light-years" or at speeds that "defy physics as we know it," even claiming that some UFOs have technology that can "turn us into a charcoal briquette."

Some of the objects appear to be transmitting signals.

China's reusable space plane just got a little more mysterious.
Just four days after being launched on its third mission, China's Shenlong ("Divine Dragon") robotic space plane seems to have placed six objects into Earth orbit. Amateur spacecraft trackers around the world have been following the objects closely for days and have recorded emissions coming from some of them.
The six mystery objects have been designated OBJECT A, B, C, D, E and F. According to satellite tracker and amateur astronomer Scott Tilley, OBJECT A appears to be emitting signals reminiscent of those emitted by objects that China's space plane has released on previous missions.
"OBJECT A's or nearby emission is reminiscent of earlier Chinese space plane 'wingman' emissions in the sense the signal is modulated with a limited amount of data," Tilley told Space.com via email. "There is speculation that the emission from OBJECT A may be from an object close to it, but this is speculation not based on any evidence I'm aware of." Tilley has referred to the objects as "mysterious wingmen" on X (formerly Twitter).
OBJECT D and E, meanwhile, appear to be emitting idle "placeholder" signals with no data accompanying them. "It should be noted that unlike emissions early in the Chinese space plane missions 1 and 2, these emissions are very intermittent and do not stay on long," Tilley says. "It's taken days of observations tracking pass after pass with dish antennas to come up with this data."
Tilley and other satellite trackers have analyzed the signals and are confident that the emissions are coming either from the objects or from close proximity to them. This conclusion is based on observing them along their expected paths in the sky, the fact that no other known objects were in the beam of the trackers' antennas when the data was collected, and the fact that the particular modulation of these signals is "unique and has only been seen from previous Chinese space plane missions using [a frequency of] 2280MHz," Tilley says.
"In summary, this iteration of the Chinese space plane mission launched into a similar orbit as the last two but operationally it is exhibiting different radio behavior than before. The additional observations of the emissions from OBJECT D and E is new, but could also have been missed on earlier missions if they too were intermittent," Tilley added. "Something we should watch for is close encounters between OBJECT A and OBJECTs D and E. D and E are in fairly elliptical orbits while A is in a near circular orbit. In the next couple of days there will be close approaches between these objects at perigee."
Perigee is the point in a satellite's elliptical orbit when it's closest to Earth.
China's space plane has exhibited similar behaviors in the past. On its two previous missions — which launched in September 2020 and August 2022, respectively — the spacecraft was seen releasing a small unknown object into orbit. It was speculated that the objects could be service modules, test articles for practicing placing payloads into orbit, or perhaps even small satellites used to monitor the space plane, SpaceNews wrote in November 2022.
The United States also operates a reusable robotic space plane, the Boeing-built X-37B. Similar to China's Shenlong space plane, little is known about the exact operations or capabilities of the X-37B. The U.S. Space Force is currently set to launch the spacecraft atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on Dec. 28 after several delays.
And the timing of the two reusable space plane launches isn't a coincidence. "These are two of the most watched objects on orbit while they're on orbit. It's probably no coincidence that they're trying to match us in timing and sequence of this," General Chance Saltzman, U.S. Space Force's Chief of Space Operations, said at a conference earlier this month.

JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE SPOTS ‘UNUSUAL’ AND ‘ENIGMATIC’ FEATURES ON ICE GIANT URANUS
JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE SPOTS ‘UNUSUAL’ AND ‘ENIGMATIC’ FEATURES ON ICE GIANT URANUS
NASA has released stunning new imagery of the ice giant Uranus captured by its premiere space observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope.
The seventh planet from the Sun in our solar system, the orbit of icy Uranus falls between that of the gas giants Jupiter and Neptune, where, unlike other planets in our solar system, it spins on its side.
BLUE IS THE HUE
Uranus possesses a striking bluish-green color, caused by its atmosphere composed primarily of helium and hydrogen, which the new imagery captured by the James Webb Space Telescope showcases in remarkable clarity, along with several of the planet’s twenty-seven known satellites.
Referring to the Webb imagery, NASA recently called the planet “unusual and enigmatic,” describing it as a “dynamic world with rings, moons, storms,” and a range of other features.
The newly enhanced versions of imagery depicting Uranus were originally obtained earlier this year by the James Webb Space Telescope (Credit: NASA/ESA/JWST).
The new image is based on enhancements of a two-color version of the same view of Uranus released earlier in 2023, which employs additional wavelength coverage that allows more details to be revealed in the latest versions.
RINGS AND THINGS
While Saturn is the planet most renowned for its rings, Uranus is no slouch when it comes to the striking series of bands encircling it. Thanks to Webb and its unrivaled sensitivity, even the faintest outermost rings of Uranus, as well as its most elusive ring of all—the Zeta ring—which is positioned the closest to the planet of all its rings, can be seen in the new imagery.
Surrounding the enigmatic-looking planet are several of its moons, including Titania and Oberon, some of which can even be seen amidst the planet’s rings.
The new imagery is markedly different from previous photos of Uranus captured by the Voyager 2 probe decades ago, primarily because the more “unusual and enigmatic” features of the planet (to again borrow NASA’s characterization) only become visible at infrared wavelengths, which were not able to be obtained by Voyager’s cameras in the 1980s.
“In infrared wavelengths, Webb is revealing a strange and dynamic ice world filled with exciting atmospheric features,” read a NASA statement that appeared on the agency’s official page devoted to the James Webb Space Telescope.
AN ICY PLANET WITH A CLOUD CAP
Also revealed in unprecedented detail in the new imagery is the cloudy cap that adorns the planet’s north pole at certain times of the Uranian year. With the details that emerged in the newly enhanced versions of the images, both the seasonal cap, as well as a darker region near the bottom of the polar cap, can all be seen.
Beneath the planet’s north pole cap, several weather formations can be discerned in the imagery, revealing storm activity. Currently, planetary scientists are unclear about how many of these storms may be present, and how often they occur.
As Uranus tilts toward the Sun, its polar cap appears to become more prominent with the approach of the planet’s solstice, the next of which will occur in 2028. During these seasonal periods, scientists believe the extra sunlight the planet receives probably influences its unique atmosphere and the weather occurring within it.
JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE REVEALS CLUES TO URANUS’S TILT
Weather on Uranus is also impacted by the planet’s unique orientation, which causes it to possess the greatest seasonal extremities of any planet in the solar system. A significant portion of each year sees one of the planet’s poles cast in near-constant sunlight. By contrast, the “dark side” of the planet facing away from the Sun endures winters lasting nearly 21 years.
Scientists are uncertain why Uranus spins on its side at an exaggerated tilt of close to 98 degrees, although theories include the possibility that the planet may have impacted with another large object at some point in the past, knocking it into its current “tilted” position.
The newly enhanced Webb telescope imagery provides astronomers with the most detailed view of the planet ever obtained, revealing its most visually striking elements with incredible clarity, and allowing scientists to plan for future missions that will focus on revealing more of the mysteries about the most unique planet in our solar system.
Going back into history affirmed that most of the United States presidents showed interest in extraterrestrial life and unidentified flying objects. From the time of Eisenhower to Mr. Obama, the world came to know about this mysterious phenomenon and the life that can exist beyond Earth. The Washington flap (1952 D.C. UFO incident) magnified the UFO subject over the whole world as it was the first time that UFOs were seen hovering over the city where the president works. Then the case of President Richard Nixon who left evidence of aliens in the White House sparked a huge controversy.
According to the 2015 book “The Presidents And UFOs: A Secret History From FDR To Obama,” virtually all of them wanted to go public with the knowledge of who (or what) is responsible for sightings of unidentified flying objects, but were blocked by intelligence officials. According to the book’s author Larry Holcombe, Nixon was convinced that “a limited level of UFO disclosure” would ensure his place in history. He went to extraordinary lengths to preserve that information for posterity, as more recent reports claim.
Robert Merritt, a federal informant from the Watergate era revealed a letter in which President Richard Nixon confirmed the existence of aliens. The letter was made public by the journalist and researcher Linda Moulton Howe.
Note: Robert Merritt is a confidential informant for the New York Police Department’s Intelligence Division. He has also worked for the Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department, the FBI, the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Marshals Service, the ATF, the Manhattan District Attorney, and the U.S. Attorney for New York City. He lives in New York City.

In this historic Dark Journalist Episode, Merritt stepped forward for the first time ever in public and revealed his three meetings with President Nixon in a deep underground location beneath the White House.
During the first meeting, the president read aloud to Merritt a letter written in his own handwriting, where he revealed that they were protecting an extraterrestrial being. Scientists at Los Alamos eventually learned to communicate with the Being and developed vast knowledge from this interaction which helped them to achieve advanced technology and science. After reading it, Nixon sealed the letter in a time capsule, hiding it somewhere in the White House unknown to himself.
The second meeting was to give Merritt a copy of the letter. His mission was to give it to the National Security Advisor at the time, Henry Kissinger. No one else could know of the existence of the letter. Years later, the co-author of the letter, Douglas Caddy notified the National Archives that the capsule is still in the White House and that he would reveal its location if they assured that it would be released publicly.
Note:Douglas Caddy, LLD, is an attorney, the cofounder of Young Americans for Freedom, and served as the criminal lawyer for the burglars in the Watergate break-in.
Merritt’s influence was so great within the White House that he was a key witness in the Watergate scandal. The Huston Plan referred to was a 43-page report of proposed security operations put together by White House aide Tom Charles Huston in 1970 at the request of President Richard Nixon, who wanted more control over domestic intelligence on so-called left-wing radicals and the anti-war movement.
Caddy’s conditions on the National Archives were simple, they could take possession of Nixon’s time capsule as long as they publicly revealed the content of the letter. As a person interested in history, politics, conspiracy theories, and the existence of extraterrestrial life, Linda Moulton Howe began to follow the events. Howe discovered that the Huston Plan accidentally revealed the existence of the time capsule hidden in the White House and its contents.
This is from a partial transcript of the interview provided by Linda Howe:
MERRITT: He had this letter. He pulled it out, and he read this one piece of paper to me. And then he put that letter in a manila envelope, and he put a gold seal over the top of the middle, and then he put a piece of tape across that, and on the front was handwritten, “To Henry Kissinger.” He asked for it to be hand-delivered or mailed, whichever was best or safest to do.
LISZT: Now, this letter was very important. Can you describe the letter to me?
MERRITT: It was two red lines. They looked like a scientific formula with letters, numbers, and other scientific symbols that would be used, like chemistry symbols. He said, “We possess the knowledge, and we have in our protection,” and he said, “Subjects from Planet X.” I asked him one question, and he didn’t seem to like what I asked him, but I said, “Are these the things in Mexico or Area 51?” He seemed to be offended by the fact that maybe I knew this.
LISZT: Okay, now in this final meeting with Nixon, he’s reading you this letter, he shows you this formula, and he’s now mentioning an alien that they have in protection, and he’s a little annoyed that you mentioned the being was in custody or being held.
MERRITT: Yes. The word he used was “protected,” not “captured,” not “in captivity.” He didn’t use any words that would mean against the will. You know as well as I do that if we had a being like that, yes, it would be in captivity. I don’t think we’d let it walk down the street.
LISZT: You said he mentioned that scientists at Los Alamos had learned to communicate with this being. What did he say about that?
MERRITT: That we had obtained a very vast amount of knowledge, very powerful, to possess this knowledge and was able to learn from it, would be the most powerful nation or government in the entire world and could rule the world.
“Nixon said that Star Trek was antiquated. He laughed and said, ‘Robert, we are so, so far advanced it would take your breath away!’”
- Robert Merritt in a secret 1972 meeting with President Nixon beneath the White House.
The Dark Journalist video lasted 75 minutes but the interesting points are summarized. The real question is: what to make of it? Nixon’s gone and Kissinger never talked about anything like this. Why would Nixon trust Merritt with such a secret and a subject (extraterrestrials) which has nothing to do with anything else in the Watergate scandal nor the Huston Plan, which is still partly classified?

Black UAP orb caught while guy tests drone for first time, Porterville, California on Dec 17, 2023, UFO Sighting News.
These two screenshots have been focused by me. SCW
Date of sighting: Dec 17, 2023
Location of sighting: Porterville, California, USA
Now I know, a lot of US gov videos were released the last few months and many have orbs or black disks, yet this is different. It has a green-yellow neon color area on one side. This makes me think that this could be some top secret drone created by the US military for use in war zones, blacked out, it might have the same radar resistant coating the B1 and B2 bombers have, making it invisible to radar. Also it seems to be very clear and very slow, not really knowing it's being observed by another drone. A UFO would know, and although this one moves like it, we really don't get to see its speed. The clincher making it 100% alien...would be its speed. We didn't see that, but more analysis of the original video is necessary.

Eyewitness states on Reddit:
"I was exploring the skies when I saw a black dot dropping from the clouds, so I started recording. The raw footage that you see was taken on the DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine on December 17, 2023 in Poterville California. Backstory: I went to Best Buy to pick up my new drone from Visalia, CA on Saturday December 16, 2023. I went back to Porterville, CA and I started practicing on Sunday December 17, 2023 with my new drone when suddenly I saw a black dot dropping from the sky. So I decided to focus the drone camera towards the sphere object and I started following it as I was getting closer. I zoomed in to 7X optical zoom to conserved the quality video but then later on I zoom in to 28x digital zoom in the river. Then I was trying to rotate without losing the object but it was really hard because I’m new at flying drones and I tried my best I could do."
Teleportatie en het mysterieuze Philadelphia-Experiment Geloof je in buitenaards leven? Denk je dat tijdreizen een mogelijkheid is? Als jouw antwoorden op beide vragen 'nee' is, lees dan verder over deze vermeende gebeurtenis in de Verenigde Staten tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het is huiveringwekkend
Vragen zonder antwoorden Het universum verbergt veel mysteries. Een daarvan is of er intelligent leven aanwezig. Het volgende verhaal suggereert dat dit inderdaad het geval is en onthult daarnaast dingen die nog angstaanjagender zijn.
Experiment Volgens het boek 'The Expanding Case for the UFO' van Morris K. Jessup (een aan de University of Michigan opgeleide astronoom) heeft de Amerikaanse marine een experiment uitgevoerd dat bekend zou worden als het 'Philadelphia Experiment'.
Hoe gebeurde het? Verondersteld wordt dat het schip, gemeerd in de stad Philadelphia, in een flits licht, met haar bemanning en al, aan boord spoorloos verdween.
Getuigen Vermeend getuige van het incident was marinier Carl Allen. Hij beweerde eveneens te hebben gezien dat enkele bemanningsleden dood waren, versmolten met de scheepsromp.
EInstein's onderzoek Volgens het History Channel, ontwikkelde Albert Einstein een project van voor het Amerikaanse leger dat het fenomeen zou kunnen verklaren.
Einstein's onderzoek Volgens zijn unificatietheorie ('theorie van alles'), zou een elektromagnetisch apparaat hiervoor verantwoordelijk kunnen zijn. De VS wilde oceaan kunnen oversteken zonder dat het door de vijandelijke schepen waargenomen zou worden.
Onzichtbaar Volgens het History Channel, zou Einstein een experiment hebben ontwikkeld waarbij een sterk elektromagnetisch veld werd geïnstalleerd op het schip dat het 'onzichtbaar' zou maken voor radars en mijnen. Maar beweerd wordt dat het experiment een heel ander effect had.
Mysterieuze dood Maar voordat hij deze vermeende vondsten kon doen, werd hij dood gevonden in zijn auto. Volg ons en krijg toegang tot het laatste celebrity en lifestyle nieuws
Film De film 'The Philadelphia Experiment' is gebaseerd op het verhaal en werd uitgebracht in 1984. Jaren later zou de film opnieuw voor controverse zorgen.
Getuigenis Alfred Bielek kwam met nieuwe getuigenverklaringen en claimde dat de film hem zijn ervaringen tijdens het experiment opnieuw deed beleven. Volgens hem werden ze niet alleen naar een andere plek geteleporteerd, maar hebben ze ook door de tijd gereisd.
Buitenaards leven Door de ophoping van zoveel energie zou er volgens Bielek een doorgangsportaal in de ruimte zijn ontstaan door welke UFO's naar onze planeet zouden kunnen komen.
Verre van voorbij Zij die niet in deze samenzweringstheorie geloven wijzen op objectieve feiten die het weerspreken. Voor hen die er wel in geloven, zijn de antwoorden op het marineschip zelf te vinden.
Verslagen Volgens de verslagen is er geen buitengewone activiteit waargenomen en er is ook geen document dat kan bevestigen dat het schip in Norfolk is aangemeerd.
Onzichtbaarheid Er zijn gevorderde wetenschappelijke onderzoeken gedaan naar onzichtbaarheid die geen directe relatie hebben tot de theorie van Einstein.
TR-3B filmed over Michigan? A Startling UFO Sighting Near Willow Run
TR-3B filmed over Michigan? A Startling UFO Sighting Near Willow Run
Willow Run, MI – December 7, 2023 – A remarkable video captured by a local resident near Willow Run, Michigan, has sparked intense online discussions and speculation within the UFO enthusiast community. The footage, lasting just 15 seconds, showcases what appears to be a classic triangle-shaped UFO adorned with five luminous lights and a smaller, possibly flashing light at the center.
The Breathtaking Encounter
In the dead of night, the resident, stunned by the sight, recorded the hovering object while questioning aloud whether it was a UFO or an unusually large drone. The authenticity of her shock, evident in her voice, adds a layer of intrigue to the video. The triangular formation of lights, set against the night sky, has led some viewers to draw parallels with the infamous TR-3B – a rumored but unconfirmed black project aircraft.
The TR-3B: Fact or Fiction?
The TR-3B is often mentioned in UFO lore as an alleged secret government aircraft, supposedly developed under the U.S. Air Force’s black projects. The theories suggest that the TR-3B utilizes advanced technology, possibly even reverse-engineered from extraterrestrial crafts. While these claims remain unverified, they provide a tantalizing backdrop to this recent sighting.
A Viral Sensation
The video quickly gained traction on social media platforms, with one user notably commenting, “The best UFO capture this year?” This statement has fueled further discussions and debates among UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike, turning the video into a viral sensation.
The Significance of UFO Sightings
UFO sightings, such as this one near Willow Run, continue to captivate the public imagination. They prompt questions about the existence of extraterrestrial life and the possibility of advanced technologies beyond our current understanding. In an age where drones and sophisticated aircraft are commonplace, discerning between human-made objects and potential otherworldly visitors becomes increasingly challenging.
As the debate continues, the Willow Run sighting stands as a compelling addition to the annals of UFO encounters. Whether it was a secret military aircraft, an elaborate drone, or something truly otherworldly remains a mystery. What is certain, however, is that our skies hold secrets that continue to elude our understanding, fueling our fascination with the unknown.
15 verrassende archeologische ontdekkingen Verborgen schatten, voorwerpen van duizenden jaren oud of menselijke resten... elk jaar zijn er weer archeologische ontdekkingen die wetenschappers intrigeren en het publiek verbazen. Kijk mee terwijl we de vijftien meest recente en verrassende vondsten langsgaan.
Een Merovingisch dorp in het hart van Frankrijk In Frankrijk is bij onderzoek in de buurt van Pontarlier een volledig Merovingisch dorp aan het licht gekomen. De bouw gaat terug tot een periode tussen de 6e en de 8e eeuw. Het dorp beslaat enkele hectaren en heeft een houten kerk waarvan alleen de fundamenten over zijn.
Een verloren stad van goud in Egypte In april 2021 werd door een archeologische missie een 'verloren stad van goud' bij Luxor in Egypte ontdekt. Het ging om een van de grootste antieke steden van het land, genaamd Aten, die in het tweede millennium voor Christus gebouwd werd. Archeologen konden verschillende delen van de stad blootleggen, zoals het koninklijk paleis en begraafplaatsen voor dieren.
Gobekli Tepe - wellicht het oudste bouwwerk van de wereld In Turkije dateert de opgegraven Gobekli Tepe van meer dan elf millennia geleden. Dat is nog voor de tijd van het jagen en verzamelen. De plaats is mogelijk de oudste constructie in de wereld. De ontdekking heeft nieuwe vragen opgeroepen over de chronologie van de prehistorie die wetenschappers gewoonlijk aanhouden.
Menselijke voetafdrukken die meer dan 20.000 jaar oud zijn In het zuidoosten van de Verenigde Staten zijn menselijke voetafdrukken ontdekt die rond de 23.000 jaar oud zijn. Ze lijken vooral van kinderen en tieners afkomstig te zijn. Deze ontdekking verandert alles, want ze getuigt van een veel vroegere menselijke aanwezigheid op het Amerikaanse continent dan tot nu toe werd aangenomen.
Een onbekende menselijke afstamming in Indonesië En dan komen we bij een andere ontdekking die de kaarten van de menselijke prehistorie opnieuw herschikt. Uit DNA-analyse van een vrouw wier botten in een grot in Indonesië gevonden werden, bleek dat ze deel uitmaakte van een groep jagende nomaden, maar dat er ook een genetische band was met Aziatische bevolkingsgroepen. Hieruit blijkt dat een tot nu toe onbekende migratie van Europa naar de Aziatische regio van de Stille Oceaan heeft plaatsgevonden.

De oudste bekende grottekening De oudste bekende grotschildering is van een wild zwijn. Ook deze vondst is gedaan in Indonesië: op het eiland Sulawesi. De tekening werd in 2017 ontdekt en is ongeveer 45.000 jaar oud. Het werd echter pas in 2021 bevestigd dat dit daadwerkelijk het oudste prehistorische kunstwerk op de planeet is.
Grot der Verschrikkingen Een echte archeologische schat werd onlangs ontdekt in de Grot der Verschrikkingen, gelegen in de Judeese Woestijn in Israël. Preventieve opgravingen om plunderingen tegen te gaan hebben geleid tot de ontdekking van een 6000 jaar oud kinderskelet, 2000 jaar oude Bijbelse perkamenten, oude muntstukken, en bovendien de oudste mand van de wereld die meer dan tien millennia geleden gemaakt werd, nog voordat aardewerk ontstond.
De sarcofagen van Saqqara Midden in de lockdown van 2020 werden in de necropolis van Saqqara, Egypte, honderd sarcofagen uit het eerste millennium voor Christus ontdekt. Kort daarvoor werden al veertien andere sarcofagen vanuit een put naar boven gehaald.
De reuzenspin Terwijl Peruaanse boeren volop bezig waren een meer dan 3000 jaar oude tempel van voor de Spaanse kolonisatie te vernielen, haastten archeologen zich om te redden wat er te redden viel en ontdekten een 15 meter lange muurschildering van een gigantische spin. Het dier werd van oudsher met vruchtbaarheid geassocieerd. Deze ontdekking betekent een belangrijke vooruitgang in de kennis van de precolumbiaanse culturen.
Een knuffelend stel in China In Datong, in het noorden van China, zijn de botten gevonden van een knuffelend paar. Volgens het uitgevoerde onderzoek zou het paar geleefd hebben in de tijd van de Noordelijke Wei-dynastie, tussen de 4e en 6e eeuw. De aanwezigheid van een ring aan de vinger van de vrouw lijkt de hypothese te bevestigen dat het om een echtpaar ging.
Ontdekkingen gedaan door... konijnen! Mocht je er niet bewust van zijn, weet dan dat het konijn een waardevolle helper van de mens kan zijn bij archeologische opgravingen. In het voorjaar van 2021 onthulden konijnen bij het graven van hun hol, op het eiland Skokholm in Wales, oeroude artefacten. In het bijzonder werd een afgekante steen gevonden die gebruikt werd door gemeenschappen uit het Laat-Mesolithicum (ongeveer 5000 jaar voor Christus).
'Klein Pompeii' In de kelder van een verlaten bioscoop in Verona, Italië, is een kleine historische stad ontdekt. Het Romeinse gebouw uit de keizertijd onthult een weelderige en intacte versiering van fresco's en mozaïeken, evenals een complex verwarmingssysteem. Reden genoeg om het de bijnaam 'klein Pompeii' te geven.
De bronstijd in Zweden Een vijftigtal juwelen en relikwieën uit de bronstijd werden geheel bij toeval gevonden in een bos in Zweden. De wetenschappers die deze voorwerpen analyseerden, meenden dat ze moesten toebehoren aan een vrouw van hoge status. Deze archeologische ontdekking is de belangrijkste van de laatste jaren en kan de kennis over de zogenaamde Deense bronstijd vergroten.
Vikingvoorwerpen onder het ijs Door het smelten van gletsjers, een indirect effect van de opwarming van de aarde, komen in Noorwegen archeologische schatten aan het licht: in april 2020 onthulden onderzoekers honderden artefacten uit de Vikingtijd, waaronder kleding, schoenen en hoefijzers. Onlangs werd een soortgelijke ontdekking van 6000 jaar oude voorwerpen gedaan op het ijsveld van Langfonne.
Geoglief van een kat En als afsluiting nog een leuke curiositeit: hier zie je een geoglief van ongeveer dertig meter die een jonge kat voorstelt in de provincie Nazca, Peru. Deze wonderlijke tekening, die je het best vanuit een vliegtuig kunt bewonderen, werd gemaakt door de Paracas, de beschaving die voorafging aan de Nazcacultuur.
In 2017, the Cassini spacecraft barrelled toward Saturn for the final time. NASA officials had elected to terminatethe mission in a death dive. Obliterating the probe in a controlled maneuver would safeguard Saturn’s precious rings, moons, plus whatever else Cassini’s Earthly material could damage, or even contaminate. Like, perhaps, life.
Currently, scientists have never detected biosignatures in another world. But space exploration is providing tantalizing ideas. The latest such notion comes from a frigid moon of Saturn. The work is detailed in a study published this week in the journal Nature Astronomy.
Six years before its fiery finale, Cassini flew through plumes of gas coming from Saturn’s moon Enceladus. The spray was coming through cracks on its icy surface. It was a natural delivery service, giving Cassini’s INMS, or Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer, a special taste of what’s inside the moon.

WHAT’S IN THE SPRAY?
Astronomers have been studying INMS data since Cassini’s 2011 and 2012 rendezvous of the plumes. So far, they’ve found compelling evidence that Enceladus may have conditions favorable to life. Inside the gaseous spray there was the presence of water, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and molecular hydrogen. This suggests that life could potentially emerge far away from the Sun in another part of the solar system.
But that’s a big maybe. “We don't yet know how life originated on Earth, so it's difficult to say what the necessary conditions would be on Enceladus,” Jonah Peter, a graduate student at Harvard University and lead author of the new paper, tells Inverse.
Life, at least as we know it, requires an energy source.
“The ocean on Enceladus is covered by a thick ice shell, so sunlight is unlikely to provide enough energy for life underneath. That means for life to exist on Enceladus, there must be an alternative source of energy,” Peter said.
Chemical reactions are known to support microbial communities in the dark depths of Earth’s oceans, however.
This 2010 image from NASA’s Cassini mission shows water from the subsurface ocean of Saturn’s moon Enceladus spraying out into space from huge cracks in its icy surface.
The team performed a statistical analysis to find what might be hiding inside Cassini’s INMS data. It was built upon earlier work on the plume data.
“Searching for compounds in the plume is a bit like putting the pieces of a puzzle back together,” Peter said. It’s a search for the “right combination of molecules” that would create the data Cassini gathered more than a decade ago in the outer solar system.
Peter’s team found five new compounds inside the plume: alcohol (methanol), molecular oxygen, plus three organic compounds called hydrogen cyanide (HCN), acetylene (C2H2), and propylene (C3H6).
These molecules are not biosignatures, meaning they don’t indicate that life exists on Enceladus. “They do, however, indicate conditions favorable for organic synthesis, which could lead to the formation of more complex molecules related to the origin of life,” Peter said.
One compound in particular, HCN, is a versatile building block of life. It goes into forming amino acids, sugars, and nucleobases. These are the precursors to proteins and DNA.
They indicate that Enceladus’ subsurface ocean has the ability to contain a diverse array of chemical reactions, acting in the Sun’s absence to provide energy for life. It’s an exciting finding, but like most things that thrill, more insight is necessary.
At least Cassini, reduced to a tattered mess of tiny bits in Saturn’s sky, lives on in the data.
De voorspellingen van Nostradamus voor 2024 onthuld Nostradamus was een Franse astroloog geboren aan het begin van de 16e eeuw. Hij werkte als arts, maar hij staat bekend om zijn veronderstelde vermogen om de toekomst te voorspellen, en er wordt gezegd dat hij veel grote wereldgebeurtenissen heeft voorzien. Sommigen beweren dat hij met succes de opkomst van Adolf Hitler, het begin van de coronaviruspandemie en zelfs de moord op de Amerikaanse president John F. Kennedy heeft voorspeld. Welnu, voorspellingen van de mysticus voor 2024 beweren dat er drama zou kunnen zijn voor de koninklijke familie, een uitbraak van oorlog en een grote tsunami.
Gefascineerd? Kijk verder om een huiveringwekkende voorspelling voor 2024 te ontdekken, met dank aan Nostradamus.
Wie was Nostradamus? Hoewel we hem maar bij één naam kennen, werd hij eigenlijk geboren als Michel de Nostredame. Nostradamus is de Latijnse vorm van zijn naam. Hij werd geboren op 14 December 1503 in het zuiden van Frankrijk in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
Zijn eerste profetieën kwamen voort uit verdriet Men gelooft dat Nostradamus de toekomst begon te voorspellen na de tragische dood van zijn vrouw en kinderen door een pestepidemie in Frankrijk. Hij begon door Europa te reizen en leerde over Joodse mystiek en astrologische technieken.
Zijn grootste werk Toen Nostradamus terugkeerde naar de Provence, publiceerde hij de eerste van zijn profetieën in 1555 in wat zijn grootste werk werd, 'De Profetieën'. Het boek bestond uit 942 voorspellingen.
Zijn voorspellingen worden tot op de dag van vandaag geanalyseerd Een van de redenen waarom de voorspellingen van Nostradamus mensen blijven fascineren, is omdat ze altijd vaag waren en nooit data bevatten.
Voorspellingen voor 2024 Zijn voorspellingen konden daarom worden toegepast op verschillende dramatische gebeurtenissen door de eeuwen heen. Klik verder om te zien wat 2024 in petto zou kunnen hebben!
Klimaatverandering wordt catastrofaal Nostradamus gebruikte bijbelse beeldspraak als het ging om zijn visioenen van de wereld, vooral toen hij schreef over het einde van de wereld.
Klimaatverandering wordt catastrofaal Volgens verschillende interpretatoren van zijn profetieën leggen zijn eerdere geschriften de basis voor een wereld die geconfronteerd wordt met de catastrofale gevolgen van de opwarming van de aarde, en 2024 zal niet anders zijn.
Klimaatverandering wordt catastrofaal Verschillende van zijn analisten wijzen op een tekst die kokende zeeën, rivieren en meren beschrijft, naast de voorspelling van een grote droogte. Zij suggereren dat dit het bewijs is dat Nostradamus klimaatverandering voorspelde die ertoe zou leiden dat delen van de aarde onleefbaar zouden worden voor mensen en dieren.
Een enorme tsunami kan een grote hongersnood veroorzaken Nostradamus voorspelde ook tsunami's, want hij beweerde dat een serie "grote overstromingen" delen van de wereld zal treffen, gevolgd door een "grote hongersnood".
Een enorme tsunami kan een grote hongersnood veroorzaken Hij schreef ook over een "zeer grote hongersnood door pestgolf", wat zou duiden op de mogelijkheid dat de tsunami landbouwgrond zou treffen.
Een door oorlog verscheurde tijd De afgelopen jaren werd de wereldwijde nieuwscyclus gedomineerd door het uitbreken van oorlog. In Februari 2022 viel Rusland Oekraïne binnen, waardoor de spanningen tussen de supermachten van de wereld toenamen.
Een door oorlog verscheurde tijd En in de herfst van 2023 verklaarde Israël de oorlog aan de Palestijnse militante groep Hamas na hun aanval, die leidde tot hevige bombardementen op de Gazastrook en nog eens duizenden doden.
Verwacht een enorme zeeslag Nostradamus voorzag specifiek escalerende conflicten in de oceanen, omdat niet alleen "grote overstromingen" zullen plaatsvinden, maar ook "angst" door de oceanen zal sijpelen.
China zal betrokken raken bij conflict Bovendien voorspelde Nostradamus "gevechten en zeeslagen" en zei hij dat een "rode tegenstander bleek zal worden van angst en de grote oceaan zal doen vrezen". Sommigen geloven dat de "rode tegenstander" zou kunnen verwijzen naar China.
China zal betrokken raken bij conflict De "zeeslag" zou kunnen verwijzen naar China's spanningen met Taiwan. Beijing heeft momenteel de grootste marine ter wereld.
China zal betrokken raken bij conflict Sommigen hebben dit zelfs geïnterpreteerd als een mogelijke confrontatie tussen China en de NAVO, wat zou duiden op het begin van een nieuw Chinees-Russisch pact.
Er zou een nieuwe paus kunnen komen Paus Franciscus, die op 17 December 2024 88 jaar wordt, heeft de laatste tijd gezondheidsproblemen. Hij beklom het hoogste ambt van het Vaticaan in 2013 na het aftreden van zijn voorganger.
Er zou een nieuwe paus kunnen komen In 2023 moest hij de VN-klimaatconferentie COP28 in Dubai overslaan vanwege een longontsteking en ademhalingsproblemen als gevolg van griep.
Er zou een nieuwe paus kunnen komen Volgens de voorspellingen van de astroloog zou Paus Franciscus binnenkort een vervanger kunnen krijgen. "Door de dood van een zeer oude paus, zal een Romein van goede leeftijd worden gekozen, Van hem zal worden gezegd dat hij zijn zie verzwakt, Maar lang zal hij zitten en in bijtende activiteit," schreef hij.
Er zou een nieuwe paus kunnen komen De geschreven regels voorspellen de dood van de paus en zijn vervanging door een jonge Romein. Hoewel "Romein" in dit geval aantoonbaar verwijst naar de Kerk zelf.
Koning Charles III's regeerperiode zal worden ingekort Eén belangrijke voorspelling van Nostradamus verwijst naar een "koning van de eilanden" die "met geweld wordt verdreven".
Koning Charles III's regeerperiode zal worden ingekort Hoewel er niet wordt verwezen naar een bepaald koninklijk boegbeeld, geloven sommige experts dat het om Koning Karel zou kunnen gaan. Nostradamus' bewering luidt: "Koning van de eilanden met geweld verdreven... vervangen door iemand die geen merkteken van een koning zal hebben."
Koning Charles III's regeerperiode wordt ingekort Analist en auteur Mario Reading gelooft dat de koning zou kunnen aftreden vanwege "aanhoudende aanvallen op zowel hemzelf als zijn tweede vrouw".
Koning Charles III's regeerperiode zal worden ingekort Hoewel prins William de volgende in lijn is, hebben sommige analisten beweerd dat de uitspraak "geen teken van een koning" suggereert dat prins Harry de troon zal bestijgen!
Viral Sensation: This Startling UFO Footage from Porterville is Taking Reddit and Social Media by Storm! A Remarkable UFO Sighting in Porterville
Viral Sensation: This Startling UFO Footage from Porterville is Taking Reddit and Social Media by Storm! A Remarkable UFO Sighting in Porterville
Porterville, California, a serene city known for its agricultural prowess, became the center of a mystifying event on Sunday, December 17, 2023. At precisely 3:56:58 PM, a local resident, fresh from purchasing a DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine drone, witnessed something extraordinary. This article delves into the enigmatic sighting, exploring both the initial awe and the rational explanation that followed.
It all started on a seemingly ordinary Sunday. The witness, having recently acquired a state-of-the-art DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine drone from Best Buy in Visalia, CA, decided to test the capabilities of this marvel in the skies of Porterville. As the drone soared, capturing the picturesque landscape, an unusual black dot appeared, descending from the sky. Intrigued, the operator maneuvered the drone, zooming in on this mysterious object. Utilizing the drone’s 7X optical zoom to maintain video quality, they captured a clear view of what seemed to be a spherical object.
As the drone operator grew more adept at controlling their new gadget, they pushed the zoom to 28x digital, capturing even finer details over the river. Despite being a novice at drone piloting, the witness skillfully kept the object in frame, documenting this peculiar phenomenon with impressive precision.
The Power of Perspective: Debunking the Mystery
In an exciting twist, the article shifts towards a rational explanation of the event. The video below provides a compelling analysis. It educates viewers on the concept of parallax – an effect where the position or direction of an object appears to differ when viewed from different positions. This phenomenon is brilliantly explained using the example of the “GoFast” video, where an object, seemingly moving rapidly, is likely just a bird or balloon traveling at around 40 mph.
The video concludes that the object in question over Porterville is most likely a celebratory balloon. This conclusion is drawn after carefully considering the object’s movement patterns and characteristics observed in the high-quality footage.
Conclusion: A Fusion of Mystery and Technology
This incident in Porterville beautifully encapsulates the intersection of human curiosity, technological advancement, and the natural world. While the initial sighting stirred thoughts of extraterrestrial visitors, the logical explanation underscores the importance of understanding and applying scientific principles like parallax in our interpretation of such events.

The Calvin Parker Alien Encounter and Government Secrets
The Calvin Parker Alien Encounter and Government Secrets
In the obscure corners of ufology, few stories resonate with the chilling intensity of Calvin Parker‘s alleged alien abduction in the 1970s. Recently, Ben Hansen brought this enigma back into the limelight, interviewing Parker to unearth details of an event that, despite overwhelming evidence, was seemingly ignored by the U.S. government. This narrative not only rekindles the age-old debate about extraterrestrial life but also hints at possible governmental secrets.
The Night That Changed Everything
Calvin Parker’s life took an extraordinary turn one evening in the 1970s. While fishing at a pier, he and a friend encountered what they initially mistook for police patrol lights. This mundane expectation was shattered by the appearance of three bulky, gray creatures with skin resembling elephant hide. Parker’s recollection of being grabbed, injected, and paralyzed by these beings is the stuff of science fiction nightmares.
The most harrowing part of his tale involves being taken aboard a spacecraft. Here, he describes a bizarre examination by a different creature, a “female” with elongated fingers, culminating in a terrifying and painful procedure. This vivid description of his experience defies earthly explanations and fuels endless speculation.
Skepticism and Silence
Despite Parker’s detailed account and unwavering consistency, his story met with skepticism and, more intriguingly, silence from official channels. This dismissal is perplexing, considering the gravity and specificity of his claims. The lack of a governmental investigation raises questions about whether authorities chose to ignore the incident or were concealing something more significant.
A Legacy of Fear and Paranoia
The impact of this encounter on Parker’s life was profound. He describes living in a state of paranoia, haunted by the fear of a repeat abduction. His subsequent experiences, including missing time and hypnotic regressions revealing possible alien implant removal, only add layers to this unsettling saga.
Unearthly Agreements: The Eisenhower Conspiracy
Adding to the intrigue is the claim made by Laura Eisenhower, the great-granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, about a supposed extraterrestrial treaty. According to her, in 1954, Eisenhower allegedly signed a pact with alien beings, trading human abductions for advanced technology and DNA analysis. This bombshell revelation, if true, not only validates Parker’s account but also uncovers one of the biggest secrets in U.S. history.
Governmental Silence and Speculation
Why the silence from the government? If Eisenhower did engage in such otherworldly diplomacy, the implications are staggering. The government’s refusal to acknowledge or investigate Parker’s experience could be seen as an effort to maintain this secret pact. The silence could be interpreted as an attempt to avoid public panic or a strategic move to protect classified information crucial to national security.

Man EXPOSES Alien Abduction Story That The US Government IGNORED | UFO Witness
Calvin Parker’s alien abduction story, backed by Laura Eisenhower’s claims, presents a scenario that challenges our understanding of the world. While skeptics dismiss such accounts as fanciful, the consistency and detail in Parker’s narrative, coupled with the alleged governmental treaty, suggest that there might be more to these claims than mere fantasy. As we continue to explore the cosmos, stories like Parker’s remind us of the vast, uncharted mysteries that might lie beyond our current understanding.
Wederopstanding: Jezus was niet de enige die opstond uit de dood
Wederopstanding, of het concept om na de dood weer tot leven te komen, bestaat al millennia. Hoewel de meesten van ons dankzij het christendom bekend zijn met het concept, zijn er veel andere voorbeelden van opstandingen die aan die van Jezus voorafgaan. Van het oude Egypte tot de Noorse mythologie en alles daartussenin: er zijn verschillende voorbeelden van de cyclus van leven, dood en wedergeboorte.
In deze galerij kom je meer te weten over de vele gerapporteerde gevallen van opstandingen door de geschiedenis heen, inclusief alle gevallen die in de Bijbel voorkomen. Klik verder om te starten!
Mythologie Het religieuze motief van de stervende en herrijzende godheid is te vinden in een aantal mythologische tradities, namelijk het oude Egypte, het oude Griekenland, het oude Rome en de Noorse mythologie, om er een paar te noemen. Laten we eens kijken naar enkele voorbeelden.
Tammuz Tammuz, de lente- en vruchtbaarheidsgod van Mesopotamië, stierf elke winter en kwam elke lente weer tot leven. De wederopstanding van Tammuz werd in de Babylonische kalender aangeduid als Du'ûzu, of "Maand van Tammuz".
Tammuz De vierde maand van de Babylonische kalender viel tussen juni en juli van de Gregoriaanse kalender (de kalender die het grootste deel van de wereld tegenwoordig gebruikt). De wederopstanding van Tammuz symboliseerde de wedergeboorte en de cyclische aard van de seizoenen.
Hades en Persephone De Griekse mythe van Hades en Persephone is vergelijkbaar. In dit geval zou Persephone, die door Hades was meegenomen naar de onderwereld, slechts zes maanden per jaar in de hemel mogen doorbrengen, namelijk tijdens de lente en de zomer.
Jarylo Jarylo, de god van de vegetatie, vruchtbaarheid en lente in de Slavische mythologie, keerde ook terug naar de wereld in de lente. Jarylo is een ander voorbeeld van een leven-dood-geboorte godheid.
Osiris De Egyptische god van het leven, vruchtbaarheid en landbouw werd vermoord door zijn broer Set. Isis balsemde Osiris' overblijfselen en hij herrees en werd de god van de onderwereld.
Savitri en Satyavan De hindoetraditie kent ook een verhaal over wederopstanding. De geliefden Savitri en Satyavan trouwden, maar een jaar later overleed Satyavan. Savitri slaagde er toen in om Yamraj, de god van de dood, zover te krijgen dat hij Satyavan weer tot leven wekte.
Bodhidharma Wederopstanding komt ook voor in de boeddhistische traditie. Een Chinese diplomaat genaamd Songyun trok door het Pamir gebergte toen hij het pad kruiste met de boeddhistische monnik Bodhidharma, die slechts één schoen droeg. Toen hem ernaar gevraagd werd, zei Bodhidharma dat hij naar huis ging, naar India, en zei Songyun naar de ontbrekende schoen te vragen als hij in Shaolin aankwam.
Bodhidharma Toen Songyun aankwam en de monniken ernaar vroeg, werd hij gearresteerd omdat hij gelogen had. Het werd duidelijk dat Bodhidharma jaren eerder gestorven was, en toen de monniken Bodhidharma's tombe openden, vonden ze een enkele schoen binnenin. Bodhidharma was herrezen uit de dood.
Odin Voorbeelden van wederopstanding zijn ook te vinden in de Noorse mythologie. Odin, de vader van het Germaanse heidendom, moest een prijs betalen voor zijn macht en wijsheid. Hij offerde zichzelf op om toegang te krijgen tot de kracht en betekenis van de runen. Hij hing zichzelf aan een boom en doorboorde zijn lichaam met een speer. Op de negende dag werd hij herboren met de kennis van de runen.
Quetzalcoatl Quetzalcóatl is een gevederde slangengod uit het oude Meso-Amerika. De belangrijke godheid werd aanbeden door een aantal beschavingen, waaronder de Azteken, Maya's en Tolteken. In vrijwel alle culturele tradities is er een verhaal over hoe Quetzalcóatl sterft en terugkeert uit de dood.
Aristeas Een ander voorbeeld is het wederopstandingsverhaal van de Griekse dichter Aristeas, dat dateert uit de 7e eeuw voor Christus. Het verhaal gaat dat Aristeas stierf, dat zijn lichaam verdween en dat hij zeven jaar later terugkeerde.
De feniks De legende van de feniks (en zijn analogieën) komt voor in vele culturen en volkstradities, waaronder in de oude Griekse, oude Egyptische en Perzische tradities. Het is een schoolvoorbeeld van wedergeboorte en opstanding, waarbij een nieuwe feniks herrijst uit de as van de oude.
Terugkomen uit de dood is niet altijd goed Hoewel de meeste voorbeelden van wederopstanding positief zijn, zijn er gevallen waarin wederopstanding eerder als een vloek dan als een zegen wordt beschouwd. Bekende voorbeelden zijn vampiers, zombies en ghouls.
Oude Testament: de zoon van de weduwe van Zarifath Er zijn een paar voorbeelden van wederopstanding in het Oude Testament. Eén daarvan kan gevonden worden in 1 Koningen 17:17-24, waar een jonge jongen uit de dood werd opgewekt nadat de profeet Elia tot God had gebeden.
Oude Testament: de zoon van de Shunammite vrouw In 2 Koningen 4:32-37 vinden we nog een opstandingsverhaal. De profeet Elisa wekt de zoon van de Sjunamitische vrouw op uit de dood.
Oude Testament: de man die Elisa's beenderen aanraakte Zelfs na de dood slaagde de profeet Elisa erin om een man uit de dood op te wekken. De man in kwestie werd in Elisa's tombe gegooid en toen hij Elisa's beenderen aanraakte, herrees hij (2 Koningen 13:20-21).
Herrijzenis van Jezus De opstanding van Jezus is het populairste voorbeeld van opstaan uit de dood. De Bijbel noemt het in talloze verzen. Als bewijs is er de Bijbelse verwijzing dat het graf van Jezus leeg was en er waren talloze ooggetuigenverslagen van Jezus nadat hij was opgestaan.
Herrijzenis van Jezus De wederopstanding van Jezus is inderdaad de sleutel tot de doctrine van het Christendom. In Johannes 11:25-26 staat: "Jezus zei tegen haar: 'Ik ben de opstanding en het leven. Wie in mij gelooft, zal leven, ook al sterft hij; en wie leeft door in mij te geloven, zal nooit sterven. Gelooft u dit?"
Nieuwe Testament: de zoon van de weduwe van Nain Er zijn echter andere voorbeelden van opstanding in het Nieuwe Testament. Eén daarvan is wanneer Jezus de zoon van een weduwe in de stad Nain tot leven wekt. Volgens Lucas 7:11-17 zei Jezus: "Jongeman, ik zeg je: sta op. En de dode stond op en begon te spreken, en Jezus gaf hem aan zijn moeder."
Nieuwe Testament: De dochter van Jaïrus Jezus heeft ook de dochter van de synagogenleider Jaïrus opgewekt. In Lucas 8:52-55 staat: "En allen huilden en rouwden om haar, maar Hij zei: 'Huil niet, want zij is niet dood, maar slaapt.' En zij lachten hem uit, omdat zij wisten dat zij dood was. Maar hij nam haar bij de hand en riep: 'Kind, sta op.' En haar geest keerde terug en zij stond terstond op. En hij gebood haar iets te eten te geven."
Nieuwe Testament: Lazarus Het verhaal over hoe Jezus Lazarus van Bethanië vier dagen nadat hij gestorven was weer tot leven wekte, is ook een populair verhaal in de Bijbel. Toen Jezus zei dat hij uit het graf moest komen, "kwam de man die gestorven was naar buiten, zijn handen en voeten gebonden met linnen stroken en zijn gezicht omwikkeld met een doek. Jezus zei tegen hen: 'Maak hem los en laat hem gaan'" (Johannes 11:1-44).
Nieuwe Testament: heiligen in Jeruzalem Jezus bleef mensen uit de dood opwekken, zelfs nadat hij zelf was opgestaan. In Matteüs 27:52-53 staat: "Ook de graven werden geopend. En vele lichamen der heiligen, die ontslapen waren, werden opgewekt, en na zijn opstanding uit de graven gekomen, gingen zij de heilige stad binnen en verschenen aan velen."
Nieuw Testament: Tabitha Volgens Handelingen 9:36-42 wekte apostel Petrus een discipel met de naam Tabitha op uit de dood. Toen Petrus Tabitha beval op te staan, "opende zij haar ogen en toen zij Petrus zag, ging zij rechtop zitten. En hij gaf haar zijn hand en richtte haar op. Toen riep hij de heiligen en weduwen en stelde haar levend voor."
Nieuwe Testament: Eutychus Apostel Paulus slaagde erin om de jongeman Eutychus weer tot leven te wekken nadat hij uit een raam was gevallen. "Paulus ging naar beneden, boog zich over hem heen en nam hem in zijn armen en zei: 'Wees niet ongerust, want zijn leven is in hem.' En toen Paulus was opgestaan en brood had gebroken en gegeten, sprak hij nog lang met hen, tot het aanbreken van de dag, en vertrok. En zij namen de jongeling levend weg en waren niet weinig vertroost" (Handelingen 20:7-12).
In the heart of the United States, a peculiar phenomenon has been stirring the skies of Missouri. Eyewitnesses report an extraordinary sight: a cube-shaped UFO, challenging our understanding of physics and aerospace technology. These sightings, capturing the imagination of locals and UFO enthusiasts alike, offer a tantalizing glimpse into the unknown. Let’s delve into this mysterious occurrence and explore what it could potentially signify.

The story begins with an ordinary individual’s extraordinary encounter. As they drove home on a clear Missouri day, a glint in the sky caught their attention. Initially dismissing it as mundane debris, the witness soon realized this was no ordinary object. The cube, seemingly defying gravity, maintained a steady altitude and speed, its metallic surface tumbling through the air like a dice.
The Cube’s Characteristics
Described as a solid, metal cube, the object exhibited peculiar characteristics. Witnesses noted its ability to change direction abruptly, a movement contrasting starkly with conventional aircraft. Intriguingly, some observers mentioned lights emanating from the cube, sparking debate over whether these were reflections or an inherent feature of the craft.
Historical Context
UFO sightings are not new to human history, but the cube-shaped phenomenon adds a novel chapter to this cosmic narrative. Historical records and folklore are replete with accounts of unidentified flying objects, each contributing to the rich tapestry of extraterrestrial speculation.
Technological Implications
The cube’s reported characteristics pose significant questions about our understanding of technology. Its ability to maneuver in ways that defy known physics suggests either a breakthrough in terrestrial technology or an otherworldly origin.
Safety and Speculation
As with any unidentified object, safety concerns arise. History shows that encounters between technologically advanced and less advanced civilizations often lead to unfavorable outcomes for the latter. The cube’s presence, while fascinating, also bears a note of caution.
Investigative Efforts
Organizations like Missouri’s Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) are dedicated to investigating such phenomena. Their work, compiling eyewitness accounts and evidence, provides a structured approach to understanding these sightings.
The cube-shaped UFO sighting in Missouri opens up a world of questions and possibilities. Whether a secret human innovation or a visitor from the stars, its existence challenges our perception of reality. As we continue to gaze skyward, the mystery of the cube-shaped UFO reminds us of the vast, unexplored universe beyond our planet.
Alien Abductions in the Book of Enoch: An Intriguing Intersection of Myth and Mystery
Alien Abductions in the Book of Enoch: An Intriguing Intersection of Myth and Mystery
Unveiling the Mysteries of the Heavens: Enoch’s Extraordinary Journey
In the annals of ancient texts, few are as captivating as the Book of Enoch, an ancient Jewish religious work ascribed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. This enigmatic book not only delves into the origins of the Great Flood but also presents a startling narrative that aligns closely with modern accounts of alien abductions, a theme that continues to fascinate and perplex us in contemporary times.
Enoch’s Celestial Abduction: A Premodern Encounter?
The Book of Enoch details the experiences of Enoch, who is said to have been taken into the heavens by celestial beings. This description bears an uncanny resemblance to what we in the modern era might describe as an ‘alien abduction.’ Enoch’s account goes beyond mere spiritual metaphors, offering vivid descriptions of a physical place in the skies, replete with rooms, luminescent beings, and advanced technologies far beyond the comprehension of his time.
The Watchers: Ancient Astronauts?
Central to Enoch’s story are the “Watchers,” angelic beings who descended to Earth, imparting knowledge and skills to humanity. This mirrors the narrative found in many ancient astronaut theories, where advanced beings from the stars are credited with accelerating human civilization. The Watchers’ actions, however, led to unforeseen consequences, including the creation of the Nephilim, a race of giants born from the union of these celestial beings and human women.
Parallels with Modern Alien Abduction Accounts
The parallels between Enoch’s experiences and contemporary alien abduction stories are striking. Individuals today recount being taken by strange beings into crafts, shown advanced technology, and sometimes even presented with hybrid offspring, echoing the ancient tales of the Nephilim. This resemblance poses the question: are these ancient texts early interpretations of extraterrestrial encounters, dressed in the mythological language of the times?
The Scientific Angle: A Rational Explanation?
While the Book of Enoch offers a narrative rich in supernatural elements, a scientific perspective suggests these accounts may be allegorical or symbolic. The descriptions of the heavens could be interpreted as metaphysical realms rather than literal physical spaces. However, the precision of Enoch’s astronomical knowledge, which predates modern discovery, adds a layer of intrigue to these interpretations.
Cultural Impact and Legacy
The Book of Enoch, though not part of the canonical Bible, has had a lasting impact on religious and mythological studies. Its influence extends into various cultures and has inspired a range of interpretations and debates. Whether viewed as a religious text, an early science fiction narrative, or a historical account with lost truths, its contribution to the discourse on ancient civilizations and potential extraterrestrial contact is undeniable.

The Why Files – Alien Abductions in the Book of Enoch and the Search for Noah’s Ark
The Book of Enoch stands at a fascinating crossroads between ancient myth and modern mystery. Its tales of celestial beings, advanced knowledge, and a world grappling with the consequences of heavenly interference resonate with our contemporary fascination with alien life and extraterrestrial intervention. While the true nature of Enoch’s experiences remains shrouded in mystery, the book continues to offer a captivating lens through which we can explore the perennial human quest to understand our place in the cosmos and the possibility of life beyond our planet.
DeJames Webb Space Telescoperichtte zijn aandacht op Uranus en slaagde erin prachtige gedetailleerde beelden vast te leggen van de ijsplaneet, zijn ringen, manen en atmosferische kenmerken, inclusief een seizoensgebonden poolkap.
Volgens de NASA en de ESA onthulde de unieke gevoeligheid van Webb interne en externe ringen, waarbij de Zeta-ring opviel en zelfs kleine manen tussen de ringen werden vastgelegd. Het infraroodbeeld van de telescoop onthulde een dynamische en eigenaardige ijswereld, met de nadruk op de poolkap en heldere stormen, waardoor inzicht werd verkregen in de complexe atmosfeer van de planeet.Bovendien, vanwege de unieke kanteling van Uranus, die opzij draait, ervaart de planeet de meest extreme seizoenen in het zonnestelsel, met een kwart van het jaar ondergedompeld in een 21-jarige winter. Webb biedt een ongekend zicht, waarbij details worden onthuld die eerder onzichtbaar waren, zoals de evolutie van de poolkap.
But scientists claim it's now possible to have a conversation with a whale, following a 20-minute chat with a humpback whale in Southeast Alaska.
A 38-year-old whale named Twain 'spoke' with the researchers from the SETI Institute and UC Davis by responding to a pre-recorded 'contact call'.
This marks the first communication between humans and whales in their own language, according to the team.
Looking ahead, the researchers say the conversation could pave the way for interactions with aliens in the future.

It might sound like something from Avatar 2 (pictured), but scientists say that this research could pave the way for future communications with aliens
Humpback whales: The singers of the sea
Scientific name: Megaptera novaeangliae
Diet: Omnivore
Size: 48 to 62.5 feet
Weight: 40 tons
+ Humpback whales are found across every ocean in the world.
+ Their name comes from the small hump on their dorsal fins.
+They are known for their amazing songs which they use to communicate and attract mates.
In the study, researchers from SETI studied how whales communicate in the hopes of developing 'intelligence filters' as part of the search for alien life.
The scientists broadcast a type of greeting call called a 'whup/throp' through underwater speakers.
When the call was played through the water, Twain approached the boat and responded with a greeting call of her own.
Importantly, the scientists found that Twain was changing the frequency of her own calls in response to the researchers' broadcast.
According to lead author, Dr Brenda McCowan of UC Davis, this mirroring behaviour shows that the whale was engaging in a type of interactive conversation with the recorded call.
Dr McCowan said: 'We believe this is the first such communicative exchange between humans and humpback whales in the humpback "language".'
In their research paper, Dr Brenda and her co-authors suggest that Twain was motivated to reply by 'excitement and possibly the onset of agitation'.
However, they also point out that the kind of 'behavioural synchrony' exhibited by the whale is associated with bonding and group cohesion.
This, according to the authors, suggests that Twain was actively engaged in a communicative exchange.

Humpback whales' high intelligence and sophisticated communication systems make them a good proxy for communicating with alien life (stock image)
The researchers' ultimate goal is not to speak with whales, but with even stranger forms of life.
Just as another scientist might look at Antarctica as a proxy for Mars or other alien environments, SETI researchers look on Earth to find stand-ins for extra-terrestrial intelligence.
In the absence of any aliens, the researchers hope to use whales to develop strategies for non-human communication.
Humpback whales make such a good alien proxy because of their extremely high intelligence and powers of communication.
This diagram shows how Twain approached the research vessel and circled while responding to the researchers' calls
Their huge brains have large regions for processing auditory information and the watery environment lets them broadcast signals over vast distances.
Dr Fred Sharpe of the Alaska Whale Foundation says: 'Humpback whales are extremely intelligent, have complex social systems, make tools - nets out of bubbles to catch fish - and communicate extensively with both songs and social calls.'
This means that by learning how to find information within the calls of whales, scientists might one day be able to make sense of communications from aliens.
Dr Laurence Doyle of the SETI Institute says: 'Because of current limitations on technology, an important assumption of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is that extraterrestrials will be interested in making contact and so target human receivers.'
The SETI Institute uses radar arrays like the Very Large Array radio telescope in New Mexico to try and search for communications from alien life
He adds that 'this important assumption is certainly supported by the behavior of humpback whales.'
Previously, SETI has attempted to find extra-terrestrial life by listening in to radio signals arriving on Earth.
The theory is that a highly advanced alien civilization might be interested in communicating with other planets and so would beam out information in high-energy pulses.
However, since we have no way of knowing how aliens might communicate, SETI focuses on developing tools to scan for signals of intelligence within the constant background noise of space.
The 'concerned citizen' shared her encounter to MailOnline
The remarkable shot was taken by Dietrich Zeigler, a photographer in Chicago, and shared exclusively to MailOnline.
'It was around evening just as the sun dipped below the horizon,' he said.
'I noticed some colorful shimmering and took out my 70-200 MM lens and shot this.
'The object's appearance was striking, with a palette of purple, gold and green.
'It seemed to be changing colours, but the shape remained the same which looks like a mask.
'After quickly heading indoors to examine the photos, I was unable to locate it in the sky again.'
Mr Zeigler said it 'seemed as stationary as a star' to the naked eye, although slight differences in the photos he took suggested it might have been moving slightly.
'I was quite startled upon reviewing the photos on a larger screen,' he said.
'Even now, I frequently gaze at the sky, both during the day and at night, hoping to witness something as remarkable.'
'Yet, nothing similar has crossed my view since that intriguing evening.'
Depending on the observer, it resembles a mask, an alien face or an indigenous totem (pictured)
With its elongated and colourful 'face' the object even has similarities with Rafiki the monkey from The Lion King (pictured)
UFO stands for 'unidentified flying object' and so the term doesn't necessarily describe an object with an extraterrestrial origin.
Nick Pope, a UFO expert formerly with the UK's Ministry of Defence, called it a 'beautiful image' but couldn't identify the 'unidentified aerial phenomenon' (UAP), now the preferred term by authorities.
'Often, when looking at UAP images, we're not necessarily seeing an accurate picture of the object,' Pope told MailOnline.
'Distortions can occur for example when an object is photographed through glass, or when zooming-in, or as a result of various anomalies and light effects relating to the camera.'
Another British UFO researcher, Philip Mantle, said the object could be plasma or even ice crystals in the clouds.
'I've seen these ice crystals myself and they do look really spectacular,' he told MailOnline.
'[But] it's difficult to reach a definitive conclusion.'
US Department of Defense – otherwise known as the Pentagon – declined to comment on the image.
However, the usually secretive government branch has been more transparent about what it knows regarding UFOs in recent months.
A Pentagon document published in the summer revealed that the typical UFO has a round shape, usually spherical or an orb, with a white or silver colour.
Most UFOs have been described as ‘orb’, ‘round’ or ‘sphere’, but other reported shapes include polygon, triangle and 'Tic Tac', says the Pentagon
The world's UFO hotspots are revealed - as Pentagon admits hundreds of objects have been spotted 'all over the world'
The US government is notoriously secretive when it comes to sharing what it knows about extraterrestrial life.
But in a possible bid for transparency, the Department of Defense has released a new document disclosing the 'world's UFO hotspots'.
It includes a map disclosing where the most sightings of unidentified objects have been recorded, based on reports between 1996 and 2023.

EXCLUSIVE Inside the battle to water down the UFO bill that will disclose confidential 'non-human intelligence' data to the public set be signed by President Biden
Joe Biden is set to sign into law legislation disclosing what the government knows about UFOs, but UFO activists say the bill has already been 'gutted'
The activists blame congressmen Mike Turner and Mike Rogers, who are funded by big defense company Lockheed Martin, for watering down the bill
Senators Chuck Schumer, Marco Rubio and Mike Rounds are in favor of the bill and have backed whistleblowers and former top intelligence officials
Joe Biden is set to sign into law eye-popping legislation citing 'technologies of unknown origin and non-human intelligence' this month – with top lawmakers pushing for a giant leap in UFO disclosure.
But UFO activists say the legislation has already been 'gutted', and blamecongress members funded by big defense companies for watering down the bill.
Behind closed doors in the halls of Congress, a tooth-and-nail fight has been raging over disclosure of what the government knows about UFOs.
On one side are whistleblowers and former top intelligence officials, who claim knowledge of a secret program that has allegedly retrieved crashed flying saucers – and who have convinced top lawmakers to back them, including Senatemajority leader Chuck Schumer, Senate intelligence committee ranking member Marco Rubio, and Senate armed services committee member Mike Rounds.
On the other is the $112 billion defense company Lockheed Martin, and two powerful House Republicans to whom it donates thousands of dollars: House intelligence committee chair Mike Turner, and House armed services committee chair Mike Rogers.

Senators Mike Rounds, Chuck Schumer and Marco Rubio are in favor of the bill and have backed whistleblowers and former top intelligence officials
The fight began in July this year, when Schumer introduced a groundbreaking bill that would mandate a panel of experts with presidential-level authority to sift through government UFO records with the aim of disclosing them to the public.
It also gave the government the power to seize any 'technologies of unknown origin' or even 'biological evidence of non-human intelligence' held by private companies.
The apparent references to alien bodies and tech were shocking, in a piece of legislation put forward by senators as senior as Schumer and Rounds.
And proponents of the amendment point to its fierce opposition by senior House Republicans as a sign that they touched a nerve.
Sources close to the bill's drafting said lawmakers decided to put forward the legislation after classified briefings by whistleblowers who allegedly worked on crashed UFOs recovered by the US government and handed to defense contractors, in secret programs not disclosed to Congress.
Schumer and Rounds said their bill was modeled on the 1992 law that led to the disclosure of records about President John F. Kennedy's assassination.
Sources told DailyMail.com the legislation was drafted with input from former officials who worked on the Pentagon's programs investigating 'Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena' (UAP).
These include Jay Stratton, who headed the Defense Department's UAP Task Force from 2018 to 2021, his former chief scientist Travis Taylor, and program predecessor Luis Elizondo.
The most involved with the drafting was David Grusch, a senior intelligence official who later became an Air Force liaison to the Task Force, and has claimed to Congress that the US has recovered multiple crashed UFOs.
The bill passed in a Senate vote, but key parts were stripped out by top lawmakers in the House before it was officially added as an amendment to the annual defense spending bill, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which passed its final vote on Thursday.
Ohio representative and UFO skeptic Mike Turner told News Nation Schumer's original 64-page bill was 'poorly drafted' and complained that 'no one has even raised it' with him.
In an interview on podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, Grusch called out Turner and Rogers for 'blocking' the bill.

Attorney and UFO transparency activist Daniel Sheehan, who was consulted on the Schumer amendment, told DailyMail.com that the two lawmakers were under the thumb of defense contractors, and were trying to keep the secrets of the military bases in their districts under wraps.
'They're both from the districts where the technology is being worked on,' Sheehan said.
'Turner is from the 10th congressional district in Ohio, which includes Wright Patterson Air Force Base, and we know that's where the technology was taken back in 1947 from Roswell.
'The aerospace industry specifically was uptight about wanting to maintain not only physical control of the materials, but to have patent rights. That's what they were really into, because that's where their money is.
'If they could get a patent on, for example, anti-gravity systems, that's trillions of dollars in the future.
'We said, if no such technology exists, and you don't have any of the technology, why are you upset about this?' Sheehan added. 'I know from working in Washington for 50 years, nobody goes to the mats on an issue like that, unless there's a practical reason.'
Sheehan participated in landmark cases including the Pentagon Papers in 1971 and the Watergate break-in of 1972, and is credited with launching the investigation into the Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980s.
He now campaigns for UFO transparency, and has represented ex UFO office lead Elizondo.
Two sources involved in the bill's drafting told DailyMail.com that Turner and Rogers even enlisted the help of a staffer for Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who helped suppress support for the amendment.
'Someone from McConnell's team actually went round aggressively trying to lean on all of the supporters of the UAP Disclosure Act to try to bury the whole thing,' one source said.
'They did help empower Turner and Rogers to take action.'
But a source close to Rogers insisted that he did not oppose Schumer's legislation.
'The main opposition to the UAP amendment came from Rep. Turner,' the source said.
The source, familiar with the NDAA negotiations, told DailyMail.com that Rogers had been a 'friend' of pro-UFO disclosure lawmakers – including helping Republicans Matt Gaetz and Anna Paulina Luna get a classified briefing on an alleged UFO incident near Gaetz's district off the coast of Florida this year.
Gaetz thanked Rogers for the help in a speech on November 30.
'When my colleagues, Miss Luna and Mr. Burchett, and I were at an Air Force base and were told by Air Force officials that we weren't allowed to see information that whistleblowers had expressed to us existed, it was, in fact, Chairman Rogers himself who personally engaged with the Office of the Secretary of Defense and gave us the opportunity to view the images that were taken by pilots of some of these unidentified aerial phenomena,' he said.
Sheehan pointed to the lawmakers' reliance on campaign donations by defense companies as a reason for their alleged opposition to the bill.
Attorney and UFO transparency activist Daniel Sheehan, who was consulted on the Schumer amendment, told DailyMail.com that two lawmakers were under the thumb of defense contractors, and were trying to keep the secrets of the military bases in their districts under wraps
Sheehan previously told DailyMail.com that a supposed UFO crash retrieval program insider told him that they recovered a 30ft saucer partially embedded in the earth. Pictured is a sign for the Roswell, New Mexico, UFO crash site of 1947
Federal Election Commission data published on OpenSecrets.org shows the defense industry gave congressmen Rogers and Turner a combined $2 million for their campaigns or Political Action Committees (PACs) since 2019.
Rogers and PACs supporting him have received $355,800 this year, while Turner and his PACs got $129,650.
One giant defense company has been repeatedly singled out as an alleged holder of supposed crashed 'non-human' craft.
Late Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid named Lockheed Martin as one of the private contractors holding potentially alien wreckage in an interview with the New Yorker in 2021.
'I was told for decades that Lockheed had some of these retrieved materials,' he said.
As majority leader, Reid was one of the 'Gang of Eight', a select group of top lawmakers given access to the country's most closely held secrets too sensitive to share widely in Congress.
But even he was denied access to these alleged programs, he told the magazine.
'I tried to get, as I recall, a classified approval by the Pentagon to have me go look at the stuff. They would not approve that. I don't know what all the numbers were, what kind of classification it was, but they would not give that to me.'
Lockheed Martin is Rogers' largest donor. It gave $100,750 to his campaigns in the past 10 years, and its staff PAC gave $85,000.
The company gave Turner $145,050 since 2013, and its staff PAC gave $55,000.
Lobbying transparency reports filed to the Senate show Lockheed spent over $19 million on lobbying in just the past year.
The quarterly reports show expenses for its in-house lobbying team of $13,730,000 since fall last year, and a further $5,925,379 spent on outside lobbyists.
The reports disclosed that topics tackled by Lockheed lobbyists in their approaches to lawmakers included the annual NDAA bill – though the filings did not mention UFO-related amendments.
Morley Greene, Lockheed's director of legislative affairs and one of the lobbyists listed on their transparency filings, previously served as Turner's military legislative assistant 2013 to 2016, according to a 2018 report on the Washington DC revolving door by the Project on Government Oversight.
With alleged pushback from Turner and Rogers, House lawmakers stripped out swathes of Schumer's bill, removing the presidential-level board that would declassify UFO information, and deleting the clause that would give the government power to seize any 'technologies of unknown origin' and 'biological evidence of non-human intelligence' held by private companies.

Some UFO program insiders were also allegedly against aspects of Schumer's bill.
A source close to ex-UAP Task Force chief Jay Stratton told DailyMail.com that he supported UFO transparency, but had counseled lawmakers against any bill that allowed government to seize private companies' property.
But the senators managed to keep other parts of their proposed legislation.
The version approved by the House still requires the National Archives and Records Administration to create a database of all UFO records across government – and contains a key clause that bans public money going to contractors unless they disclose any secret UFO programs to lawmakers.
And, incredibly, the bill still refers to 'technologies of unknown origin and non-human intelligence' – bringing the question of aliens visiting Earth away from sci-fi shows like the X-Files and into the US statute books.
One source close to the bill drafting said they were pleased with the result.
'I think [the Senators] negotiated relentlessly to get the most they could in there. And they knew that something was better than nothing,' the source said.
'It's historic. Once it's signed by Biden, it's straight-up illegal to fund retrieval programs or reverse-engineering programs, unless the appropriate committees are aware of it.
'[Schumer and Rounds] fought for a law that would make it illegal for the CIA, military branches and defense contractors to secretly reverse-engineer technology, not made by humans. Why the f*** would they do that if they didn't know those companies, and those elements, were reverse-engineering technology not made by humans? It's crazy.'
Two sources also claimed that the bill was even composed with the approval of the White House.
'Anyone who thinks that Schumer didn't get the blessing of the White House, before essentially trying to push for disclosure of something this significant, is delusional about how the government works,' one source said.
'There were meetings at the White House about it,' another source said. 'There was a thumbs up.'
On Wednesday Schumer said the House changes to his bill were 'an outrage', and that information on UFOs has been illegally withheld from Congress.
'It is an outrage the House didn't work with us on our UAP proposal for a review board. This means declassification of UAP records will be up to the same entities that have blocked and obfuscated their disclosure for decades. We will keep working to change the status quo,' he said in a Tweet.
'We've also been notified by multiple credible sources that information on UAPs has also been withheld from Congress, which if true is a violation of the laws requiring full notification to the legislative branch, especially as it relates to the four congressional leaders, the defense committees, and the intelligence committees,' he added in a speech on the Senate floor the same day.
Whistleblower David Grusch was disappointed with the watered-down version of the bill, arguing it now contains too many loopholes to avoid disclosure of alleged secret UFO programs.
'What we're witnessing right now is, quite frankly, the greatest legislative failure in American history,' he told cable news channel News Nation on Monday.
'Whether you believe my allegations or not, this is a government transparency issue at large.'
Once Biden signs the NDAA into law by the end of December, all government offices will have 300 days to hand over all their UFO records to the National Archives ‘that pertain to unidentified anomalous phenomena, technologies of unknown origin, and non-human intelligence’.
Not all the records will be published however. Any office can keep them secret on national security or privacy grounds, but they must tell Congress they are doing so.
The law also says no UFO programs can be funded unless they have been disclosed to Congress – effectively outlawing the kind of secret crash retrieval programs alleged by Grusch.
