'Tis the season of prophecies; about monster tsunamis leaving a trail of devastation across multiple countries located along the Pacific Ring of Fire. Two different women psychics – one from Thailand and another from Japan - have revealed bone-chilling prophecies about a Pacific mega-tsunami that could originate somewhere between Japan and the Philippines, and inflict catastrophic damage. While one of them said that it could occur anytime in July or August of 2025, the other was more specific: the date that she saw very clearly in her precognitive dream was 

5. Covid-19 Pandemic (2020)

Tatsuki’s 1999 manga contained a prediction about a virus causing global disruption in the year 2020. One of her entries stated that, "in 25 years, an unknown virus will come in 2020, disappear after peaking in April, and appear again 10 years later." This is an obvious reference to the COVID-19 virus, and her timing of the event is eerily accurate as well, for it was around April 2020 that many countries started experiencing their first wave.

Now we come to the more interesting part – the prophecies of Ryo Tatsuki that are yet to pass. The one about the July 2025 tsunami was included in the reprint edition of the manga that came out in 2021. She also has a prophecy about an earthquake and a tsunami that could occur between June and September 2026. This was mentioned in the 1999 edition of the book itself.

While searching around for an informative video that would explain the newly included prophecy about the July 2025 mega-tsunami, I came across this YouTube video titled, The prophetic dream manga "The Future I Saw", what's the catastrophe that will happen in July 2025? This was published on a Japanese YouTube channel called the Naokiman Show on October 3, 2021, just one day after the new edition of Tatsuki’s manga came out. Interestingly, the podcaster personally knows Ryo Tatsuki and had a conversation with her about her new precognitive dream. So, the explanation in this video is about as informative and authentic as it can possibly get. Here’s what he said:

"I was able to meet up with her (Ryo Tatsuki) a few times and got to hear her stories. Just yesterday, on October 2nd, a new comic book about her dreams were published. Tatsuki san (“san” is a common honorific suffix in Japanese) says that she still sees precognitive dreams, and all of her dreams are recorded in her dream diary. Tatsuki san has shared with us her new dreams, which might come into reality....

Tatsuki san had travelled to India in the past (in 1998), and her experience on this trip became the turning point in her life. I will explain in detail later, but she saw this particular dream in India. Using her expression directly...” You know how bubbles come up when you're stirring a thick soup, right?” She saw that in a vision of the Pacific Ocean near Japan. It was bubbling up. It was hard for her to understand what it meant. Did it indicate an explosion? Or maybe a submarine eruption?

Surprisingly, Tatsuki san recently saw the same dream again (July 5, 2021). The same thing happened, but this time with two dragons in the area. And a date was clearly indicated in this dream. July 2025. In her dream, Tatsuki san was looking down on the earth, and the patterns on the below image shows the two dragons she saw. It was like seeing the earth with Google Earth, and there was a sudden eruption in the water between Japan and the Philippines. This caused waves to spread out in all directions, causing huge tsunamis hitting the Pacific Rim...

However, this is not the end of Tatsuki san's dream. In her dream, the submarine eruption not only triggered tsunami waves but pushed the lands to rise, resulting in the lands of Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Philippines to be connected as one big land. I know, it’s hard to understand. But she said that an island emerged from the ocean floor, which connected all the lands...

Tatsuki san says that she sees a bright future. People are not depressed from the disaster, but were cooperating to create a stable future. She says the "age of spirit" will arrive..."

So, that’s what we know about Ryo Tatsuki’s new prophetic dream, and it seems to clearly hint at a huge undersea volcanic eruption in July 2025 that would make the waters boil and trigger a mega-tsunami, which Tatsuki believes could be much bigger than the 2011 tsunami. The enormous quantities of magma released from this eruption could create new “islands” in the sea, connecting other landmasses. And what about the dragons she saw in her dream? My guess is that those shapes could be formed by the ash clouds coming out of the ocean. 

It goes without saying that a massive undersea eruption of the kind Tatsuki saw in her dream, would inflict catastrophic, widespread, damage, not only from the tsunami waves and earthquakes, but also from the ash clouds, and gases such as sulphur dioxide that would be released from the eruption, which could block out the sun partially, thereby lowering global temperatures and causing famine-like conditions. 

Since the same scenario was prophesied by the Thai prophet Mor Plai, there is a high likelihood of this disaster happening in the July-August timeframe, as the earth goes through its own cleansing process at the time of this shift into the ascending cycle of consciousness, which Tatsuki called the “age of spirit”. The inner-earth spirit beings, who are the true caretakers of our planet, and have the ability to foresee catastrophic earth changes, may be trying to warn us by transmitting these messages through these two mediums.

Some people have been saying on YouTube and elsewhere that the tsunami predicted by Tatsuki is going to occur precisely on 5th July, 2025. This is an online speculation that has garnered momentum, and now many people are repeating it without checking for facts. Tatsuki said July 2025, and the date 7/25 is also displayed on the cover of the reprint edition of her manga. However, Tatsuki saw this dream for the second time on July 5, 2021, exactly at 4:18 am (as per a note in her book), and there have been instances in the past when her precognitive dream was fulfilled many years later on the exact same date. This must have been the reasoning that gave rise to this rumor.

As innocuous as this rumor might sound, I am getting a bad feeling about it, maybe due to years of watching Hollywood thrillers. Imagine what might happen if July 5 passes uneventfully. Many people across Japan and East Asia will be relieved and start celebrating, they will say that the prophecy was a dud, scientists will come out bravely and admonish people for believing baseless rumors, the government will organize fairs and festivities on the promenade, and families will bring out their swimsuits and barbeque sets and rush to the beaches. And then, one day, they will hear the ocean roar, see the waters boil, and, just maybe, an enormous, fiery dragon will emerge from the ocean, look at the people with angry, bloodshot eyes, and say in a rasping voice, “Why don’t you guys ever listen?” 

For the moment, however, many tourists have taken these two prophecies seriously, because of which there have been lots of cancellations of travel bookings to Japan, particularly from East Asia. Travel agencies in Hong Kong and China have reported that nearly 80% of bookings to Japan for late June and early July have been canceled, and overall bookings for the region are down 50% year-on-year. CNN has also picked up on this news, and as per their report,

“CN Yuen, managing director of WWPKG, a travel agency based in Hong Kong, said bookings to Japan dropped by half during the Easter holiday and are expected to dip further in the coming two months. The speculations have scared off mostly travelers from mainland China and Hong Kong, which are Japan’s second and fourth-largest sources of tourists, respectively. But the fear has also spread to other markets such as Thailand and Vietnam, where social media platforms are overflowing with posts and videos warning people to think twice before traveling to Japan.”

While tour operators in Japan may be ruing their misfortune, and Japanese government officials and scientists are urging people not to believe in “unfounded speculations”, tourists to the region are unwilling to take their chances against a tsunami, especially since the memories of the devastation wrought by the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 and the Tohuku tsunami of 2011 are still fresh in the minds of many. 

Besides, the possibility of underwater volcanoes erupting in the Pacific is going up by the day. Japan, Philippines and Indonesia are located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is the most active volcanic and seismic zone of our planet. It contains between 750 and 915 active or dormant volcanoes, around two-thirds of the world's total. About 90% of the world's earthquakes occur within the belt. 

Although most of the volcanoes on land have been identified, many more remain hidden under the ocean. The NOAA estimates that “80 percent of the volcanic eruptions on Earth take place in the ocean.  Most of these volcanoes are thousands of feet deep and difficult to find.” The topography of the Pacific sea floor is very complex and contains a number of subduction zones and volcanic arcs. Subduction zones are places where tectonic plates collide and the heavier plate gets shoved (or subducted) under the lighter plate, forming deep ocean trenches. The subduction zones are places of high volcanic activity and powerful earthquakes.

The “Submarine Ring of Fire” program of the NOAA has identified some of the undersea volcanic arcs of the Pacific, such as the Mariana Arc, NE Lau Basin, Kermadec Arc and Explorer Ridge, all of which contain many submarine volcanoes. The Mariana Arc extends along the seafloor between Japan and Indonesia and is, therefore, of more interest to us in the context of these prophecies. NOAA has found that “the Mariana region contains 9 volcanic islands and more than 60 submarine volcanoes, of which at least 20 are hydrothermally active.” It is not difficult to imagine that, if the submarine volcanoes of the Mariana Arc start exploding one after the other, they could precipitate the kind of scenario foreseen by Ryo Tatsuki and Mor Plai. 

Besides, there has been increased magma movement and volcanic activity across the world in recent months. New volcanic eruptions in the Pacific Ring of Fire have occurred in Russia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan, and on the other side of the Pacific in Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico. Even the entire Mediterranean region is showing signs of increased magma activity and earthquake swarms in places like Santorini, Crete and Campi Flegrei, and recently, Mount Etna unleashed its most powerful eruption in a decade. Scientists are warning that Mount Spurr, a volcano close to the town of Anchorage in Alaska, is likely to erupt soon, and a large underwater volcano off the coast of Oregon, known as Axial Seamount, is showing signs of impending eruption. It wouldn’t be surprising, therefore, if submarine volcanoes near Japan or the Philippines start erupting as well. 

Ryo Tatsuki, in her 1999 manga, had foreseen another catastrophe that could occur in 2026. She said that an earthquake and tsunami will affect the Kanagawa Prefecture between June and September 2026, and she believes that it will be a Nankai megathrust earthquake that will be the culprit. In an interview with Japan Today, she said, “But in the case of the Nankai earthquake, I was also washed away by a tsunami. As shown in my illustrations, extensive parts of Kanagawa Prefecture are inundated, including the area around Aokibashi in the Kinko-cho area of Yokohama's Kanagawa Ward.”

Not leaving anything to chance, Tatsuki says she plans to move out of Kanagawa Prefecture before June 2026. Asked if she had a message for Friday readers, Tatsuki replied, “If a major earthquake occurs, even if you are living in a place that was never hit by a tsunami back to your grandparents' generation, evacuate at once!”

What are Nankai megathrust earthquakes, you might be wondering? These are powerful earthquakes that occur along the Nankai Trough, a subduction zone off the coast of southeast Japan, where the Philippine Sea Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian (or Amur) Plate. The immense pressure and friction between these plates can cause them to lock up, and when the stress becomes too great, they rupture, resulting in a megathrust earthquake of magnitude 8 or greater.

This BBC report provides more details about these powerful quakes that occur periodically every 100 years or so.:

“Earthquakes along the Nankai Trough - an area of seismic activity which stretches along Japan's Pacific coast - have already been responsible for thousands of deaths. In 1707, a rupture along its entire 600km length caused the second-biggest earthquake ever recorded in Japan and was followed by the eruption of Mount Fuji. These so-called "megathrust" earthquakes tend to strike every hundred years or so, often in pairs: the last ones were in 1944 and 1946. Experts say there is a 70% to 80% chance of a magnitude 8 or 9 quake striking somewhere along the trough in the next 30 years, with worst-case scenarios suggesting it would cause trillions in damage, and potentially kill hundreds of thousands.”

That’s all I have for the astonishing prophecies of these two lady prophets: Mor Plai of Thailand and Ryo Tatsuki of Japan. Both of them have made some stunningly accurate predictions till now that defy all rational explanations, and they seem to be acting as intermediaries between the human and spirit realms, as our planet goes through its purification rites in preparation for a new cycle of the ages. Whether or not their terrifying prophecy of a volcanic eruption and tsunami sometime in July or August this year comes to pass, we will be better off by keeping our ears and minds open to new thoughts and possibilities, as we navigate this period of epochal shift.

Cube-Shaped UFOs: Not Drones, Not Balloons, So What Are They?

Over the past several decades, reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have fascinated both the scientific community and the general public. Among the myriad shapes and forms reported, one of the most intriguing and perplexing is the cube-shaped UFO. Unlike the conventional disc or spherical craft, these objects exhibit a geometric, three-dimensional cubic form, challenging our understanding of aeronautics, physics, and extraterrestrial technology. This essay explores the phenomenon of cube-shaped UFOs, evaluates potential explanations—including misidentifications, natural phenomena, human-made objects, and extraterrestrial craft—and discusses the implications of these sightings for scientific inquiry.

Historical Context and Reports

Cube-shaped UFO sightings are relatively rare but have been documented over several decades. One of the earliest notable reports dates back to the 1980s, when multiple witnesses in different locations described a hovering, luminous cube in the night sky. More recently, the phenomenon gained renewed attention with the release of military footage showing unidentified objects exhibiting unusual flight characteristics. For example, in 2019, the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed the authenticity of several Navy videos depicting unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), some of which appeared to be geometric in shape, including one resembling a cube.

These reports often come with descriptions of silent, hovering objects that exhibit sudden accelerations, abrupt directional changes, or hovering in ways inconsistent with known aircraft. Witnesses sometimes report a metallic or luminous surface, and the objects appear to defy the aerodynamics understood by contemporary science. Such characteristics make cube-shaped UFOs particularly enigmatic, prompting debates about their origin and nature.

Potential Explanations

1. Misidentification of Known Objects

A common explanation for UFO sightings involves misinterpreted terrestrial objects. Could these cubes be misidentified man-made objects? Some have proposed that they might be experimental military or private drones, especially given the increasing sophistication of drone technology. However, most cube-shaped UFOs are reported at altitudes and in conditions where conventional drones are unlikely or impossible to be mistaken for large, hovering, luminous objects.

Similarly, balloons or kites are often dismissed due to their irregular movement or proximity to the ground, but some have speculated that illuminated or metallic balloons could resemble cube-shaped objects. Yet, balloons tend to have irregular shapes and are affected by wind, while these UFOs appear to hover steadily or move with purpose.

2. Natural Phenomena

Another avenue of explanation involves natural phenomena. Some researchers suggest that optical illusions, atmospheric conditions, or rare meteorological events could produce illusions of geometric shapes. For instance, ice crystals or optical reflections can sometimes create the appearance of geometric patterns in the sky. However, these explanations struggle to account for the consistent reports of solid, metallic, or luminous cube-shaped objects with distinct edges and surfaces.

3. Human-Made Experimental Technology

Given the clandestine nature of military and corporate research, some hypothesize that these cube-shaped UFOs are advanced human-made experimental aircraft or drones. The United States and other countries have developed high-altitude, stealth, and experimental aircraft that could potentially resemble cube forms. For example, some speculate that these objects are advanced surveillance or reconnaissance devices, possibly testing new propulsion or stealth technologies.

Yet, the consistent reports of hovering, silent, and geometrically perfect cube-shaped objects, especially in civilian airspace, argue against them being conventional or experimental drones. Moreover, the lack of definitive proof or acknowledgment from authoritative bodies makes this explanation speculative.

4. Extraterrestrial Origin

The most provocative explanation is that these cube-shaped UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin. The geometric precision, mysterious flight capabilities, and anomalous behavior suggest the possibility of non-human technology. Some researchers argue that the cube shape is not coincidental; it might be an intentional design choice by extraterrestrial intelligences, possibly serving as a form of communication or a device for energy collection.

This hypothesis is supported by the fact that similar geometric shapes have been reported across cultures and time periods, sometimes interpreted as symbols or artifacts of advanced civilizations. Additionally, the recent increase in UAP sightings by military personnel and the declassification of such footage lend some credence to the idea that these objects are beyond current human technological capabilities.

However, the extraterrestrial hypothesis remains speculative without concrete evidence. To date, no verified physical artifact or signal has conclusively proven the existence of alien technology associated with cube-shaped UFOs.

The Significance of the Cube Shape

The cube shape has long fascinated scientists, engineers, and researchers, especially when considering the possibility of extraterrestrial technology or advanced human creations. Geometric shapes play a crucial role in engineering and physics because they directly influence the structural integrity, functionality, and efficiency of objects. The cube, in particular, offers several advantageous features that could explain its frequent appearance in both natural and artificial contexts.

One of the primary reasons for favoring a cube shape is its stability and ease of construction. Cubes have flat, stable surfaces that can be easily stacked or combined without slipping, making them ideal for modular design. This modularity allows for scalable and adaptable structures, which could be beneficial for complex machinery, habitats, or storage units. Additionally, the cube's shape maximizes internal space relative to its surface area, leading to efficient use of volume, especially important when space and resources are limited—common considerations in space exploration or extraterrestrial environments.

From a technological perspective, a cube-shaped object might serve specific functions such as housing energy sources, advanced electronic systems, or communication devices. Its shape could facilitate the arrangement of internal components and ensure protection from external environmental factors. If these objects are indeed of extraterrestrial origin, the cube might also serve as a form of communication or identification—perhaps a universal symbol or a recognizable signature that signifies origin or purpose.

Furthermore, the cube shape might have symbolic or functional significance, possibly serving as camouflage or a form of visual identification. While these ideas are speculative, they open intriguing possibilities about how intelligent civilizations might design their technology to serve multiple purposes—practical, communicative, or symbolic. Overall, the cube's structural advantages and potential symbolic meanings make it a compelling shape in the context of advanced technology, both terrestrial and extraterrestrial.

Leaked Government Image from 2018 Features “Cube-Like” UFO

Those keeping up with reported unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) sightings over the last few years have been given tantalizing glimpses of deeply mysterious aircraft; including the onesOpens in a new tab Tom Delonge helped to propagate. Now, The Debrief reportsOpens in a new tab the Department of Defense (DoD) has just “leaked” a new UAP image from 2018. And the aircraft—supposedly—has some very strange characteristics.

The Department of Defense/The Debrief 

According to The Debrief’s report, which comes via Popular MechanicsOpens in a new tab, the DoD leaked the unclassified image on a secure “Intelligence Community network” via the department’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, or UAPTF. The DoD announced the Task Force, which Deputy Secretary of Defense David Norquist heads, earlier this year.

The pilot of an F/A-18 fighter jet captured the image of the UAP with a cell phone. Sources have apparently described it as a “cube-shaped” objectOpens in a new tab, that’s silver in color and floats motionless. The pilot who took the photo, as well as the other pilot present, spotted the UAP cube “hovering” at an altitude of approximately 30,000 feet. (For reference, commercial airliners generally cruise around at an altitude of 38,000 feet.)

The Department of Defense/The Debrief 

The pilots flew within roughly 1,000 feet of the UAP, which, while relatively close, still obviously only allowed for a distant picture. Indeed, the UAP appears tiny in the pilot’s photo, and resolution drops off pretty badly as one enlarges it.

Despite the less than ideal picture, however, it’s possible to make out some details. The UAP’s shape, in fact, is familiar to atmospheric researchers, as it resembles a dropsondeOpens in a new tab. A dropsonde (below), is a weather reconnaissance device scientists drop out of airplanes. The scientists drop them at altitude above water inside of a storm to track its condition.

The Department of Defense/The Debrief 

The Debrief also says it’s possible the UAP in the photo is some kind of “military radar-reflector” or research balloon. The organization says it spoke with two defense officials, however, and they described it as having flight dynamics uncharacteristic for a balloonOpens in a new tab. Most notably, the object was reportedly completely motionless, despite ambient air currents.

In response to the “leak,” the Pentagon told The Debrief that, in so many words, it couldn’t comment. Which, while certainly not the shock of the century, does leave the door open for lots of potential hypotheses. Many of which should probably focus on other humans, considering their penchant for building strange sky mobilesOpens in a new tab.

Implications for Science and Society

The reported sightings of cube-shaped unidentified flying objects (UFOs) present intriguing challenges and opportunities for both scientific understanding and societal development. These unusual objects defy conventional physics and aeronautics, which typically describe flying objects as having aerodynamic shapes such as spheres, discs, or jets. The existence of cube-shaped UFOs suggests that they possess advanced technological capabilities that are currently beyond our scientific knowledge. If these objects are indeed extraterrestrial in origin, their existence would imply a level of technological sophistication far surpassing human achievements, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of physics, propulsion, and material science.

From a scientific perspective, these sightings could open new avenues of research into alternative forms of propulsion, energy sources, and material engineering. Researchers would need to investigate how such geometries could withstand atmospheric conditions, generate lift, or interact with electromagnetic forces. Confirming the extraterrestrial origin of these objects might also prompt a paradigm shift in astrobiology and astrophysics, encouraging scientists to reconsider assumptions about the diversity of life and technology in the universe.

On a societal level, the visibility of such phenomena increases public curiosity and skepticism, shaping cultural narratives about extraterrestrial life and technological progress. Governments worldwide have begun to acknowledge the existence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), which has heightened calls for transparency and scientific investigation. This acknowledgment has led to increased funding for research, development of new investigative tools, and international cooperation. Moreover, these sightings influence policy decisions regarding airspace security, extraterrestrial research, and public communication about unexplained phenomena. Ultimately, the discovery of cube-shaped UFOs could profoundly impact our worldview, scientific pursuits, and societal policies, emphasizing the importance of open-minded inquiry and international collaboration in understanding these mysteries.

Challenges in Scientific Investigation

Investigating cube-shaped UFOs poses a series of complex scientific challenges that make definitive study difficult. One of the primary issues is their transient and elusive nature. These objects often appear suddenly and disappear quickly, making consistent observation and long-term tracking problematic. This fleeting presence hampers the ability to gather comprehensive data, such as detailed images, measurements, or telemetry signals, which are crucial for thorough analysis.

Another significant obstacle is the lack of physical samples. Unlike terrestrial objects or artifacts, UFOs—especially those with unique geometric shapes like cubes—are rarely recovered or examined directly. Without tangible evidence, scientists must rely on visual reports, photographs, and videos, which can sometimes be ambiguous or of limited quality. This reliance increases the risk of misinterpretation and hampers efforts to draw concrete conclusions.

Furthermore, the field is fraught with risks related to misidentification, hoaxes, and psychological biases. Many UFO sightings can be explained by natural phenomena, human-made objects, or optical illusions. The proliferation of false reports or deliberate hoaxes can mislead researchers and skew data. Psychological factors, such as perception biases or cultural influences, can also distort witness accounts, complicating efforts to establish objective facts.

Despite these hurdles, technological advancements offer hope for improved investigation. Modern sensors, high-resolution imaging, infrared detection, and radar systems can enhance detection capabilities. Improved data collection methods enable more accurate and comprehensive recordings of sightings. International collaboration among scientists, governments, and civilian organizations can facilitate data sharing and standardization, increasing the reliability of findings.

To deepen understanding, a multidisciplinary approach is essential. Combining physics, atmospheric science, engineering, and SETI principles allows for a broader analysis of the phenomena. For example, physics can help assess the plausibility of various propulsion or energy systems, while atmospheric science can evaluate environmental factors influencing sightings. Engineering can aid in designing better detection tools, and SETI principles can provide frameworks for searching for artificial origins.

In summary, although studying cube-shaped UFOs is challenging due to their elusive nature, lack of physical evidence, and potential for misinterpretation, ongoing technological and collaborative efforts may eventually shed light on their true nature.

Conclusion

Cube-shaped UFOs remain one of the most intriguing phenomena in the realm of unidentified aerial objects. While conventional explanations such as misidentification, natural phenomena, or experimental human technology could account for some sightings, the persistent reports of these geometrically distinct objects challenge our understanding of aerial phenomena. Their unusual shape, coupled with reports of their silent flight and sudden appearances, suggests that these craft may not conform to known human-made aircraft or natural atmospheric events. Some researchers speculate that they could represent advanced extraterrestrial technology or an entirely new form of aerial vehicle unknown to current science.

The lack of definitive evidence makes it difficult to draw concrete conclusions, but the recurring nature of cube-shaped UFO sightings indicates that this is a phenomenon warranting further investigation. Understanding these objects could have significant implications for science, security, and our knowledge of the universe. Until more data becomes available, the true nature of cube-shaped UFOs remains a captivating mystery, inspiring both scientific inquiry and public curiosity. Continued research and open-minded analysis are essential to unraveling the origins and purpose of these enigmatic objects.

An illustration of a UFO probe contorlled by superadvanced AI.

The American government alone has invested heavily in these investigations. These documents, now public, paint a very different picture — one in which UFOs are not dismissed, but tracked, analyzed, and kept under tight control.

You can find examples of UFO-related declassified documents here, here, and here.

Official Video Footage of Pilots Chasing a U.F.O.

When it comes to UFOs, people want more than rumors — they want proof. A few years ago, the U.S. government declassified a video captured by a Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet. In it, military pilots can be heard reacting in disbelief as they chase an object flying at impossible speeds.

This wasn’t fiction or amateur footage — it was released through official channels, prompting a shift in how the public perceives the UFO phenomenon.

Video Footage: The Best Evidence

The Super Hornet video is far from the only footage out there. Over the years, numerous videos have emerged showing craft that move in ways no known aircraft should. One of the most famous examples is the STS-75 Tether Incident, captured by NASA during the space shuttle Columbia’s mission in 1996.

During this mission, a 12-mile-long tether broke off and floated into space. As the tether drifted, countless bright, disc-like objects appeared around it. While some have written the incident off as space debris or lens flare, others argue it represents one of the clearest recordings of unidentified flying objects in space.

The Pentagon Studied “Exotic U.F.O. Tech”

Although most governments publicly downplay the existence of UFOs, internal reports show another side. Declassified papers have revealed that the U.S. Department of Defense conducted secret research into what they called “exotic, futuristic technologies.”

These investigations were part of the now-famous Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), and were authorized in part by Senator Harry Reid. In a letter to Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn III, Reid supported funding the program to explore advanced propulsion systems and technologies far beyond our current capabilities.

These weren’t just speculative ideas. The documents state that researchers explored whether certain technologies could give the U.S. military an edge — technologies that may have come from observed phenomena, or possibly reverse-engineered craft.

Official Documents Reveal Antarctic U.F.O. Encounters

Antarctica has long been tied to tales of hidden bases, strange energy sources, and mysterious sightings. While some of these claims are rooted in conspiracy, there are verified reports that are difficult to dismiss.

In 1965, scientists at three separate Antarctic research stations witnessed unexplained lights in the sky. Two reports were filed by the Chilean Air Force (FACh), two others by the Argentine Navy, and a fifth by the British Antarctic Survey (B.A.S.).

Dated October 22, 1965, a letter (above) written by a B.A.S. researcher reads:

“On the July 12 this year, the British Antarctic Survey Base on Deception Island (62° 59′ S, Long. 60° 34′ W) reported the following, which I quote as requested:

‘Argentine base (on Deception Island) observed a moving colored light on June 7th, 20th, and July 3. Chilean base (also on Deception) made similar observations on the latter two dates.

Flickering red-green-yellow light observed from British Base 2300 Z July 2 die north; it had moved in two waves quickly from the west then reversed along the course for a short distance before returning again to the north where it remained stationary for about 20 minutes.’

I should comment that our people in the Antarctic did not consider the important event enough to comment until asked. I requested information because of pressure from the B.B.C., N.B.C., and the Press, who acted on a news report put out from Argentina.

Yours sincerely,
V.E. Fuchs.”

The C.I.A. Alone Declassified Thousands of U.F.O. Documents

The CIA has released thousands of documents detailing their involvement with UFO investigations, stretching from the 1940s to the early 1990s. These reports include everything from international news clippings to internal memos and firsthand accounts of sightings.

According to the CIA’s own archive:

“This collection catalogs C.I.A. information on this subject from the 1940s through the early 1990s.”

While many of the sightings remain unverified, the sheer volume of reports — and the agency’s decision to preserve them — speaks to the seriousness with which these phenomena were taken.

U.F.O.s Aren’t a Modern Phenomenon

One of the earliest and most dramatic sightings occurred over Nuremberg, Germany, in 1561. It was documented in the city’s newspaper and later studied by historians. The report reads:

“In the morning of April 14, 1561, at daybreak, between 4 and 5 a.m., a dreadful apparition occurred on the sun, and then this was seen in Nuremberg in the city, before the gates, and in the country – by many men and women.

At first, there appeared in the middle of the sun, two blood-red semi-circular arcs, just like the moon in its last quarter. And in the sun, above and below and on both sides, the color was blood, there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color. Likewise, there stood on both sides and as a torus about the sun such blood-red ones and other balls in large number, about three in a line and four in a square, also some alone.

In between these globes, there were visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red strips, becoming thicker to the rear and in the front malleable like the rods of reed-grass, which were intermingled, among them two big rods, one on the right, the other to the left, and within the small and big rods there were three, also four and more globes.

These all started to fight among themselves so that the globes, which were first in the sun, flew out to the ones standing on both sides; thereafter, the globes standing outside the sun, in the small and large rods, flew into the sun.

Besides, the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour. And when the conflict in and again out of the sun was most intense, they became fatigued to such an extent that they all, as said above, fell from the sun down upon the earth ‘as if they all burned’ and they then wasted away on the Earth with immense smoke. After all this, something like a black spear, very long and thick, sighted; the shaft pointed to the east, the point pointed west. Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows…”

(Source: Colman S. Von Kevicsky, “The Ufo Sighting Over Nuremberg in 1561” Official Ufo January 1976. Translation by Ilse Von Jacobi.)

One of the First U.F.O. Reports in America

One of the earliest sightings in North America dates back to 1639. Near the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Governor John Winthrop recorded an event in his diary involving strange lights in the sky over Boston. Witnesses reported the objects moving rapidly and even claimed they lost track of time — a possible reference to missing time, a common theme in modern abduction narratives.

U.F.O. in Northern Saskatchewan

In 1968, a strange object was discovered near Wollaston Lake, close to the Manitoba border. A letter from that time reads:

“Examination revealed the exhibit had likely formed part of a vehicle that traveled in outer space.”

The metallic fragment was handed to J. Hodges of the Canadian National Research Council by an unnamed pilot. Its origins remain unexplained.

Oppenheimer and Einstein Wrote About U.F.O.s

A six-page document written by physicists Robert Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein discussed “Relationship with Inhabitants of Celestial Bodies.”

The document is one of the first to reference Extraterrestrial Biological Entities and indicates that the military had considered UFOs as part of its strategic assessments. You can read the full document here.

Winston Churchill Wrote About Alien Life

In an essay written in 1939, Churchill speculated:

“I, for one, am not so immensely impressed by the success we are making of our civilization here that I am prepared to think we are the only spot in this immense universe that contains living, thinking creatures…”

Churchill’s essay, “Are We Alone in the Universe?”, predicted a vast universe filled with potentially habitable planets long before exoplanets were ever confirmed.

California Is a U.F.O. Hot Spot

According to the National U.F.O. Reporting Center, more sightings have occurred in California than in any other U.S. state. Los Angeles in particular has been the epicenter for sightings between 2001 and 2015.

One of the most famous events took place in 1942.

The Battle of Los Angeles

“The city went completely dark as Air Raid sirens started going off. Massive searchlights searched the sky for potential threats. Eventually, the anti-aircraft fire started going off, and in the middle of the ‘battle,’ a photograph of the enigmatic object was taken.”

The object was never identified, and explanations ranged from weather balloons to enemy aircraft. To this day, the event remains one of the most widely discussed mass sightings in American history.

Washington D.C., 1952: Radar Confirms Fast-Moving Object

On July 19, 1952, air traffic controllers at Washington National Airport picked up a fast-moving object on radar. In the weeks that followed, additional sightings were reported by military personnel.

Despite public reassurances, the official explanation never fully accounted for the object’s speed or maneuverability.

The Rendlesham Forest Incident

In December 1980, U.S. Air Force personnel stationed at RAF Woodbridge in England reported seeing a glowing object in the woods.

“Allegedly, the U.F.O. irradiated several different colors. The craft landed, and soldiers went out to investigate.
They supposedly found the spaceship. The following day, radiation levels where the alleged U.F.O. landed were off the charts, and there were reports of damaged trees nearby.”

The case remains one of the most famous and well-documented U.F.O. encounters involving military witnesses.

China ontwikkelt vliegende robot ter grootte van een mug voor geheime missies

China ontwikkelt vliegende robot ter grootte van een mug voor geheime missies

Key takeaways

Onderzoekers van de Nationale Universiteit voor Defensie en Technologie in China hebben een doorbraak in de robotica bereikt. Ze hebben een piepkleine, autonome vliegende robot ontwikkeld die de grootte en het uiterlijk van een mug nabootst. Deze opmerkelijke prestatie meet slechts 2 centimeter in lengte en weegt minder dan 0,3 gram. De ontwikkeling werd door Chinese media geprezen als een samensmelting van biologische inspiratie en geavanceerde techniek.

De wetenschap achter de doorbraak

De succesvolle miniaturisatie van de robot wordt toegeschreven aan vooruitgang op verschillende wetenschappelijke gebieden, waaronder micro-elektromechanische systemen (MEMS), materiaalkunde en biomimicry. Deze disciplines speelden een cruciale rol bij het ontwerpen en produceren van de miniatuuronderdelen die nodig zijn voor de functionaliteit van de robot, zoals sensoren, voedingen en besturingscircuits.

Vanwege zijn uitzonderlijk kleine formaat, lichte gewicht en opmerkelijke vermogen om op te gaan in zijn omgeving, is de robot ter grootte van een mug bedoeld voor gespecialiseerde missies zoals het verzamelen van inlichtingen. Dankzij zijn onopvallende aard kan hij ongemerkt infiltreren in anders ontoegankelijke gebieden, waardoor hij ideaal is voor verkenningsoperaties in moeilijke omgevingen.

Tien redenen waarom een geavanceerde “Atlantis-achtige” moederbeschaving in het verre verleden mogelijk heeft bestaan

Inleiding

Het idee dat een geavanceerde, complexe beschaving ooit heeft bestaan vóór de bekende beschavingen uit de geschiedenis, zoals die van de oude Egyptenaren, Mesopotamiërs of de Indusvallei, wordt vaak geassocieerd met de mythe van Atlantis. Hoewel er geen definitieve archeologische bewijzen zijn voor het bestaan van Atlantis zoals beschreven door Plato, zijn er verschillende wetenschappelijke, geologische en archeologische argumenten die suggereren dat een hoogontwikkelde beschaving in het verre verleden mogelijk was. In dit artikel worden tien wetenschappelijk onderbouwde redenen besproken waarom een dergelijke “Atlantis-achtige” moederbeschaving mogelijk heeft bestaan.

1. Geologische bewijsvoering voor vroegere geavanceerde beschavingen

Geologische bewijzen suggereren dat er in het verleden geavanceerde beschavingen hebben bestaan die nu onder water liggen. Onderzoek naar oude landmassas en onderwaterstructuren wijst uit dat gebieden zoals de Azoren en de Bermuda-driehoek ooit droge, bewoonbare terreinen waren. De anomalieën in deze regio’s, zoals onderwaterconstructies en restanten van oude steden, kunnen wijzen op door mensen gemaakte bouwwerken uit een ver verleden. Sedimentlagen en tektonische verschuivingen tonen aan dat grote stukken land door natuurlijke rampen zoals tsunami’s, aardbevingen en zeespiegelstijgingen onder water zijn gezakt. Hierdoor zijn mogelijk hele beschavingen verloren gegaan, ingesloten door de zee en vergeten door de geschiedenis. Deze geologische aanwijzingen ondersteunen de hypothese dat er ooit hoogontwikkelde samenlevingen bestonden die nu slechts onder de zeespiegel liggen. Het bestuderen van deze bewijzen kan ons helpen meer te begrijpen over de technologische en culturele verwezenlijkingen van onze voorouders en de manier waarop natuurkrachten de geschiedenis hebben beïnvloed. Zo bieden geologische gegevens een fascinerend venster op een mogelijk veel rijkere en complexere menselijke geschiedenis dan tot nu toe werd aangenomen.

2. Archeologische anomalieën en onderwaterstructuren

Onderwaterarcheologie heeft de laatste decennia enkele opvallende en intrigerende ontdekkingen gedaan die de gangbare opvattingen over onze oude geschiedenis uitdagen. Een van de meest bekende en omstreden voorbeelden is de onderwaterstructuur bij Yonaguni, een eiland ten zuiden van Japan. Deze structuur bestaat uit grote, trapvormige rotsformaties en piramidale vormen die lijken op menselijke bouwwerken. Sommige onderzoekers geloven dat deze structuren resten zijn van een oude stad of een door de mens gemaakte constructie, terwijl anderen denken dat ze natuurlijk ontstaan zijn door natuurlijke erosie en geologische processen.

De controversie rondom Yonaguni is nog altijd niet opgelost. Indien de structuren inderdaad door mensen zijn aangelegd, betekent dit dat er mogelijk een oude, geavanceerde beschaving bestond die duizenden jaren geleden in de regio actief was. Dit zou de bestaande kennis over de geschiedenis van menselijke beschavingen aanzienlijk veranderen, omdat het zou wijzen op een hoge mate van technische en architectonische ontwikkeling in een periode waarin we dat niet verwachtten. Sommige wetenschappers speculeren dat deze onderwaterstructuren mogelijk verband houden met vroegere migraties of verloren beschavingen die door natuurrampen onder water zijn gekomen.

Naast Yonaguni zijn er ook andere onderwaterstructuren en anomalieën die de nieuwsgierigheid van archeologen en onderzoekers prikkelen. Onderzoek naar deze structuren wordt bemoeilijkt door de moeilijke duikomstandigheden en de voortdurende discussie over hun oorsprong. Of ze nu natuurlijk of door de mens gemaakt zijn, ze vormen een fascinerend venster op een mogelijk vergeten hoofdstuk uit de menselijke geschiedenis. Het bestuderen van dergelijke onderwaterstructuren kan ons nieuwe inzichten geven over de evolutie van menselijke samenlevingen en de mysteries van onze oude wereld.

3. Oudere technische kennis en mythologische overleveringen

Veel oude culturen beschikken over mythologische verhalen en overleveringen die spreken over een “gouden tijd” of een verloren beschaving met geavanceerde technologische kennis. Deze verhalen worden vaak beschouwd als symbolische herinneringen aan een periode waarin de mensheid grote technische prestaties leverde, waarvan de ware aard soms moeilijk te doorgronden is. Een voorbeeld hiervan is de oude Indusbeschaving, die bloeide rond 2500 v.Chr. in het huidige Pakistan en India. Deze beschaving stond bekend om haar indrukwekkende stadsplanning, met grid-achtige straten, geavanceerde sanitaire systemen en waterbeheer. De uitgebreide drainage en rioleringen getuigen van een hoog niveau van technische kennis en organisatievermogen, lang voordat dergelijke systemen in Europa gebruikelijk waren.

Daarnaast bevat het oude Egypte en Mesopotamië schriftteksten en overleveringen die wijzen op kennis van constructietechnieken, astronomische observaties en mogelijk zelfs mechanische apparaten. De bouw van tempels, piramides en sluizen vereiste geavanceerde kennis van bouwkunde en hydrauliek. De astronomische gegevens die in de oude Mesopotamische kleitabletten worden vermeld, suggereren dat deze beschaving een lange geschiedenis van technische ontwikkeling en wetenschap had, waarvan veel aspecten verloren zijn gegaan in de loop der eeuwen.

Deze mythologische en historische verhalen geven ons inzicht in de veronderstelde technologische hoogstandjes van oude beschavingen. Hoewel het moeilijk is om precies vast te stellen wat er werkelijk was, blijven deze overleveringen een fascinerend venster op een mogelijk vergeten verleden. Ze laten zien dat de mensheid al duizenden jaren bezig is met het ontwikkelen van technieken en kennis die soms ver vooruit lijken te lopen op de beschikbare middelen van toen. Het bestuderen van deze oude kennis en mythes kan ons helpen om een vollediger beeld te krijgen van de technologische geschiedenis van de mensheid.

4. De mysterieuze aard van oude monumenten en constructies

De mysterieuze aard van oude monumenten en constructies fascineert mensen al eeuwenlang. Veel van deze structuren, zoals de piramides van Gizeh in Egypte, de tempels van Angkor Wat in Cambodja en megalithische bouwwerken in Europa en Amerika, vertonen een verbazingwekkende technische en astronomische precisie. Deze precisie is vaak moeilijk te verklaren met de technologie die men toentertijd tot beschikking had.

De piramides van Gizeh bijvoorbeeld, zijn zo nauwkeurig uitgelijnd dat ze bijna perfect in relatie tot de kaart van sterrenbeelden zijn geplaatst. Evenzo vertonen de bouwtechnieken in Angkor Wat een indrukwekkende mate van precisie en complexiteit, die verder gaat dan wat men zou verwachten van de beschikbare middelen uit die periode. Megalithische structuren zoals Stonehenge en de Nazca-lijnen in Peru lijken eveneens te wijzen op een diepgaande kennis van astronomie en geometrie.

Sommige onderzoekers zijn van mening dat deze monumenten niet slechts het resultaat zijn van eenvoudige bouwtechnieken, maar dat ze getuigen van een verloren kennis of technologie. Volgens deze theorieën zouden oude beschavingen beschikken over geavanceerde technieken die nu verloren zijn gegaan of ondergesneeuwd door de tijd. Deze ideeën worden ondersteund door de gedachte dat dergelijke precisie en complexiteit niet mogelijk waren met de primitieve hulpmiddelen uit die tijd.

Daarnaast is er de theorie dat deze monumenten mogelijk verbonden zijn met oude kennis over sterren, tijdmeting en kosmologische verschijnselen, die door de eeuwen heen verloren is gegaan. Het blijft een fascinerende vraag of deze structuren het resultaat zijn van eenvoudige menselijke inspanning, of dat ze wijzen op een hoger ontwikkelde oude beschaving met technologische kennis die wij nu slechts kunnen vermoeden. De zoektocht naar antwoorden blijft voortduren, waardoor oude monumenten een blijvende bron van mysterie en verwondering blijven

5. De plausibiliteit van een wereldwijde verspreiding van geavanceerde kennis

De plausibiliteit van een wereldwijde verspreiding van geavanceerde kennis is een intrigerend onderwerp dat al eeuwen de verbeelding van wetenschappers, historici en mystici beweegt. Het feit dat vergelijkbare mythes, bouwtechnieken en symboliek voorkomen in oude culturen die geografisch ver uiteen liggen, roept de vraag op of er ooit een gedeeld verleden of een universele bron van kennis bestaan heeft.

Veel oude beschavingen, zoals die van Egypte, Meso-Amerika, China en Mesopotamië, vertonen opvallende overeenkomsten in architectuur en astronomische kennis. De piramidevorm bijvoorbeeld, wordt niet alleen in Egypte gevonden, maar ook in Midden-Amerika, zoals bij de Maya en Azteken. Daarnaast vertonen deze culturen een indrukwekkend begrip van sterrenkunde, daterend uit periodes waarin men niet beschikte over de moderne technologie die wij nu kennen. Dit roept de vraag op of deze overeenkomsten het resultaat zijn van geïsoleerde ontwikkeling of van een gedeelde, mogelijk verloren gegane, kennis.

Een plausibele verklaring voor deze fenomenen is de hypothese van een ooit wereldwijde, geavanceerde beschaving die haar kennis over grote afstanden heeft verspreid. Volgens deze theorieën zou deze beschaving over technologische en culturele kennis beschikken gehad die wij nu niet meer volledig kunnen begrijpen of terugvinden. Het ontbreken van directe bewijzen maakt deze ideeën echter moeilijk te verifiëren. Toch blijft het fenomeen van wereldwijde overeenkomsten een fascinerend vraagstuk dat mogelijk wijst op een vergeten hoofdstuk in de geschiedenis van de mensheid.

Kortom, de plausibiliteit van een wereldwijde verspreiding van geavanceerde kennis kan niet volledig worden uitgesloten, maar vraagt om een open blik en verdere wetenschappelijke studie. Het blijft een intrigerende mogelijkheid dat onze oude voorouders deel uitmaakten van een wereldwijde gemeenschap met gedeelde technologische en culturele erfenis, waarvan de sporen misschien nog verborgen liggen onder het stof van de geschiedenis.

6. De mogelijkheid van catastrofale gebeurtenissen die beschavingen vernietigden

De mogelijkheid van catastrofale gebeurtenissen die beschavingen vernietigden, is een belangrijk onderwerp binnen de wetenschappelijke wereld. Onderzoek wijst uit dat de aarde door haar geschiedenis heen verschillende grote rampen heeft gekend, die mogelijk grote invloed hebben gehad op de menselijke beschavingen. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn massale uitbarstingen van supervulkanen, inslagen van meteorieten en ingrijpende zeespiegelstijgingen. Deze gebeurtenissen kunnen hele beschavingen hebben weggevaagd of ingrijpend veranderd, waardoor de menselijke geschiedenis mogelijk veel complexer is dan tot nu toe gedacht.

Een bekend voorbeeld is de hypothese dat de Toba-uitbarsting, ongeveer 74.000 jaar geleden, een wereldwijde klimaatverandering veroorzaakte. Deze uitbarsting was zo krachtig dat het mogelijk de aarde in een "volledige winter" dompelde, met als gevolg dat grote groepen mensen werden uitgedund. Sommige wetenschappers vermoeden dat zulke catastrofale gebeurtenissen niet alleen het klimaat, maar ook de ontwikkeling van beschavingen konden beïnvloeden. Het is mogelijk dat er ooit geavanceerde beschavingen bestonden die door een dergelijke ramp werden getroffen, waardoor hun kennis en technologie verloren gingen.

Dit verklaart mogelijk waarom we geen archeologische resten aantreffen van zulke oude beschavingen, ondanks dat ze mogelijk honderden of duizenden jaren geleden hebben bestaan. De vernietiging door natuurrampen kan hebben geleid tot het verlies van schrift, technologie en culturele overleveringen, waardoor deze beschavingen voor altijd uit het zicht zijn verdwenen. Het bestuderen van deze gebeurtenissen helpt ons niet alleen om het verleden beter te begrijpen, maar ook om te beseffen hoe kwetsbaar onze beschaving is voor natuurlijke rampen. Het onderstreept het belang van het voorbereiden op mogelijke toekomstige catastrofes en het beschermen van onze kennis en infrastructuur.

7..De aanwezigheid van anomalieën in oude kunst en symboliek

De aanwezigheid van anomalieën in oude kunst en symboliek is een fascinerend onderwerp dat veel vragen oproept over onze geschiedenis en de beschavingen die vóór ons hebben geleefd. Veel oude kunstwerken bevatten astronomische en wiskundige symbolen die moeilijk te verklaren zijn als louter artistieke expressie. Deze symbolen lijken vaak een dieper begrip van het universum te suggereren dat verder gaat dan de technologische kennis van de tijd waarin ze werden gemaakt.

Een voorbeeld hiervan zijn de oude Maya-kalenders. Deze complexe tijdweergaves bevatten niet alleen gegevens over de tijdlijn van de Maya's, maar ook symbolen en geometrische patronen die wijzen op een diepgaande kennis van astronomische verschijnselen zoals de banen van planeten en de beweging van de zon en maan. De precisie en complexiteit van deze kalenders suggereren dat de Maya's beschikten over geavanceerde astronomische inzichten, die mogelijk gebaseerd waren op observaties en theorieën die wij pas recent hebben ontwikkeld.

Daarnaast zijn er duizenden jaren oude rotsgravures gevonden in Zuid-Afrika en Australië, met complexe geometrische patronen en astronomische schema’s. Deze kunstwerken en inscripties vertonen patronen die niet gemakkelijk te verklaren zijn door eenvoudige religieuze of artistieke motieven. Sommige onderzoekers geloven dat deze symbolen een vorm van wetenschap of kennis uitdrukken, zoals het meten van tijd, sterrenbeelden of zelfs kosmologische ideeën.

Als deze symbolen en kennis het resultaat zijn van een oude, hoogontwikkelde beschaving, dan onderstrepen ze de mogelijkheid dat dergelijke beschavingen ooit hebben bestaan, lang voordat wij ze denken te hebben ontdekt. Het feit dat deze oude kunstwerken zo’n complexiteit en precisie vertonen, roept vragen op over de technische en intellectuele capaciteiten van onze voorouders. Het zou kunnen betekenen dat onze geschiedenis niet volledig bekend is en dat er nog veel te ontdekken valt over de evolutie van menselijke kennis en cultuur. Deze anomalieën in oude kunst en symboliek blijven een intrigerend bewijs dat er mogelijk oude beschavingen waren met een verbazingwekkend begrip van de kosmos.

8. Technologische overblijfselen en artefacten die niet passen in de tijdsperiode

Een andere belangrijke aanwijzing dat er mogelijk een geavanceerde moederbeschaving heeft bestaan, zijn technologische overblijfselen en artefacten die niet passen in de bekende historische ontwikkeling. Deze vondsten roepen veel vragen op omdat ze niet overeenkomen met de technologie die we kennen uit de betreffende periode.

Een bekend voorbeeld hiervan is de Antikythera-motor, een oud Grieks mechanisme dat dateert uit ongeveer 100 v.Chr.. Dit apparaat wordt vaak beschouwd als het oudste analoge computer en was in staat complexe astronomische berekeningen uit te voeren, zoals het voorspellen van zonne- en maansverduisteringen. Het feit dat oude beschavingen zulke geavanceerde technologie ontwikkelden, suggereert dat hun kennisniveau mogelijk veel hoger was dan tot nu toe werd aangenomen. Sommige onderzoekers geloven dat soortgelijke machines of zelfs nog complexere apparaten in het verleden hebben bestaan, maar verloren zijn gegaan of nog niet ontdekt.

Daarnaast worden er soms vreemde structuren en objecten gevonden die niet eenvoudig kunnen worden verklaard door de technologie die beschikbaar was in de tijd waarin ze gemaakt zouden zijn. Bijvoorbeeld, de mysterieuze piramides in onder andere Zuid-Amerika en Egypte, waarvan sommige onderzoekers suggereren dat ze mogelijk met technieken zijn gebouwd die wij nu niet kennen. Ook ondergrondse constructies en tunnels die op onverklaarbare manieren zijn aangelegd, roepen vragen op over de technologische kennis die daar mogelijk achter schuilgaat.

Verder worden soms artefacten gevonden die niet passen binnen de historische context, zoals stukken gereedschap of kunstwerken met technieken die veel te geavanceerd zijn voor de periode waarin ze zouden zijn gemaakt. Deze vondsten leiden tot de hypothese dat er misschien verloren technologische kennis is, of dat de beschavingen die ze maakten, een veel hoger technologische niveau hadden dan wij nu aannemen.

Kortom, deze technologische overblijfselen en artefacten vormen een intriger bewijs dat er mogelijk geavanceerdere beschavingen in het verleden hebben bestaan dan de gangbare geschiedschrijving suggereert. Ze stimuleren het onderzoek naar onze vergeten geschiedenis en de mogelijkheid dat onze kennis van het verleden nog altijd incompleet is.

9. Mythologie en legendes die verwijzen naar verloren werelden

Veel oude mythologieën en legendes verwijzen naar verloren werelden, ondergrondse rijken of periodes van grote technologische en spirituele bloei die plotseling werden beëindigd. Een bekend voorbeeld is de Griekse mythe van Atlantis. Volgens de legende was Atlantis een uiterst geavanceerde beschaving die zich bevond op een eiland dat door een grote catastrofe onder de zee verdween. De verhalen vertellen dat de Atlantiërs een hoogstaande cultuur hadden met indrukwekkende technologieën en spirituele kennis, totdat een plotselinge ramp alles verwoestte. Hoewel er geen concreet wetenschappelijk bewijs is voor het bestaan van Atlantis, worden deze verhalen vaak geïnterpreteerd als symbolische herinneringen aan een verloren technologische en culturele hoogtijdagen.

Ook in de oude Egyptische mythologie worden verhalen verteld over beschavingen die door rampen werden getroffen. Bijvoorbeeld, de legende van de ondergang van de stad Helipolis, die volgens sommige bronnen door overstromingen werd verzwolgen. De Indusbeschaving, die bloeide rond 2500 v.Chr., verdween plotseling onder mysterieuze omstandigheden, wat aanleiding gaf tot speculaties over natuurrampen of invasies. In Noord-Amerika spreken inheemse volkeren over een tijd van grote spirituele en technologische bloei, gevolgd door een periode van ondergang en vergetelheid, waarbij sommige verhalen wijzen op catastrofale gebeurtenissen of veranderingen in het klimaat.

Deze verhalen over verloren werelden hebben vaak een symbolisch karakter. Ze kunnen verwijzen naar echte gebeurtenissen uit het verleden, zoals natuurrampen of oorlogen, die de beschavingen hebben uitgewist. Tegelijkertijd kunnen ze ook een collectief geheugen zijn van een hoogtepunt in menselijke ontwikkeling dat verloren ging. Het feit dat dergelijke verhalen wereldwijd voorkomen, suggereert dat veel culturen zich een herinnering hebben gehouden aan een ooit geavanceerde beschaving die uiteindelijk ten onder ging.

Kortom, mythologieën en legendes over verloren werelden bieden niet alleen een fascinerend inkijkje in de culturele verbeelding, maar kunnen ook wijzen op een gedeeld bewustzijn van een gemeenschappelijk verleden. Ze blijven intrigeren omdat ze misschien een sprankje waarheid bevatten over een tijdperk van grote technologische en spirituele ontwikkeling dat uiteindelijk werd overschaduwd door natuurrampen, oorlogen of andere catastrofale gebeurtenissen.

10. Geografische anomalieën en ondergrondse structuren

Geografische anomalieën en ondergrondse structuren vormen een fascinerend onderwerp dat onze kennis over de menselijke geschiedenis uitdaagt. Verschillende locaties over de hele wereld tonen structuren en verschijnselen die moeilijk te verklaren zijn binnen het reguliere archeologische paradigma. Een opvallend voorbeeld is de aanwezigheid van onderwaterstructuren nabij de kust van Cuba en de Bahama’s. Deze structuren worden vaak geïnterpreteerd als resten van oude landmassa’s of door de oceaan bedekte steden. Sommige onderzoekers suggereren dat deze onderwaterstructuren de bewijzen kunnen zijn van hoger ontwikkelde beschavingen die duizenden jaren geleden op deze plaatsen gevestigd waren. Bijvoorbeeld, onderwaterfoto’s en sonarbeelden tonen vaak complexe bouwwerken die niet passen binnen de bekende prehistorische technologieën.

Daarnaast worden ondergrondse netwerken en gangen gevonden onder bekende oude steden, zoals Göbekli Tepe in Turkije. Deze ondergrondse systemen wijzen op een complex en mogelijk georganiseerd ondergronds bouwwerk. Sommige theorieën veronderstellen dat deze ondergrondse netwerken deel uitmaakten van een groter, wereldomspannend netwerk dat dient als communicatiesysteem of als schuilplaats. Het feit dat dergelijke structuren vaak moeilijk te dateren zijn en dat ze op plekken liggen waar men geen reguliere archeologische activiteit verwacht, versterkt de gedachte dat er mogelijk oude beschavingen waren met geavanceerde bouwtechnologieën.

De anomalieën onder water en onder de grond suggereren dat menselijke beschavingen mogelijk veel ouder en geavanceerder waren dan tot nu toe wordt aangenomen. Er wordt bijvoorbeeld gedacht aan het bestaan van een verloren wereld, waarbij onderwater- en ondergrondse structuren de sporen zijn van een grote, vergeten beschaving. Het feit dat dergelijke structuren zich op verschillende continenten kunnen bevinden, wijst mogelijk op een soort wereldomspannend netwerk of een gedeeld cultureel erfgoed dat verloren is gegaan door de loop der eeuwen.

Kortom, deze geografische anomalieën en ondergrondse structuren vormen een intrigerend puzzelstuk dat onze kijk op de geschiedenis kan veranderen. Ze roepen vragen op over de technologische vaardigheden van oude volkeren en over de mogelijkheid dat de menselijke geschiedenis veel complexer is dan wij nu aannemen. Het onderzoeken van deze structuren en anomalieën kan ons mogelijk leiden naar nieuwe inzichten over de evolutie van menselijke beschavingen en hun mogelijke connecties over de hele wereld.

Eindconclusie

Het samenbrengen van deze verschillende aanwijzingen – anomalieën in kunst en symboliek, technologische overblijfselen, mythologische verhalen en geografische anomalieën – kan niet eenvoudig worden genegeerd. Hoewel veel van deze gegevens door sceptici worden afgedaan als toeval of interpretatiefouten, vormen ze samen een krachtig pleidooi voor de mogelijkheid dat een geavanceerde “Atlantis-achtige” moederbeschaving in het verre verleden heeft bestaan. Het is mogelijk dat dergelijke beschavingen niet alleen de fundamenten legden voor onze huidige samenleving, maar ook dat ze over kennis en technologie beschikten die wij nog maar net beginnen te begrijpen. Het onderzoeken van deze anomalieën en het openhouden van de mogelijkheid dat onze geschiedenis niet volledig is, kan leiden tot nieuwe inzichten over de menselijke evolutie en de ware aard van onze vermeende geschiedenis. Uiteindelijk opent deze zoektocht de deur naar het begrijpen van onze ware oorsprong en de potentiële rijkdom van verloren kennis die in het verleden verborgen ligt.

Op 17 juni 2025 lanceerde autofabrikant Honda een experimentele raket. Het voertuig bereikte niet de ruimte, maar steeg tot 271,4 meter en landde vervolgens verticaal, binnen 37 centimeter van het beoogde doel. De raket is nog lang niet te vergelijken met die van de gevestigde ruimtevaartspelers, maar de prestatie is toch opmerkelijk. Dat juist een autofabrikant dit voor elkaar krijgt, toont opnieuw hoe snel en fundamenteel de ruimtevaart aan het veranderen is.

Raketten die keer op keer kunnen worden gebruikt: twintig jaar geleden leek het nog een waanidee. Maar vandaag de dag wordt het steeds meer werkelijkheid, en het verandert de manier waarop we over ruimtevaart denken. Herbruikbare raketten beloven de kosten van ruimtereizen drastisch te verlagen, waardoor meer wetenschappelijk onderzoek, satellietlanceringen en zelfs ruimtetoerisme mogelijk worden. Maar hoe zijn we op dit punt gekomen?

De eerste stappen: NASA’s Space Shuttle
Het idee van herbruikbare raketten begon eigenlijk al decennia geleden met de Space Shuttle van NASA, die van 1981 tot 2011 vloog. Dit ruimtevaartuig was een pionier: de orbiter (het deel dat astronauten en lading naar de ruimte bracht) kon meerdere keren worden gebruikt. Maar volledig herbruikbaar was het voertuig zeker niet. Bij elke lancering werd de enorme externe brandstoftank weggegooid, en de vastebrandstofboosters, die hielpen bij de start, moesten na elke vlucht uitgebreid worden gereviseerd.

Dit maakte de 135 missies van de Shuttle extreem duur: zo’n 1,5 miljard dollar per vlucht. Bovendien kende het programma twee tragische dieptepunten, de explosie van de Challenger in 1986 en de ramp met de Columbia in 2003, waarbij in totaal 14 astronauten omkwamen. Toch bewees het programma dat hergebruik technisch mogelijk was en legde het de basis voor wat later zou volgen.

De doorbraak: SpaceX en Blue Origin
De echte revolutie begon in 2015, toen SpaceX, het ruimtevaartbedrijf van Elon Musk, iets ongekends deed. Een Falcon 9-raket van het bedrijf werd naar de ruimte gelanceerd en landde daarna verticaal terug op aarde, rechtop, met behulp van zijn eigen motoren, een beetje zoals een helikopter die landt. Deze verticale landing was een doorbraak: het toonde aan dat de duurste onderdelen van een raket hergebruikt konden worden zonder ingrijpende reparaties.

The ispace Resilience lunar lander crash on June 5, 2025 created a dark smudge surrounded by a subtle bright halo, as imaged here by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. 

(Image credit: NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University.)

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has imaged the crash site of Resilience, a moon lander built and operated by the Tokyo-based company ispace.

Resilience tried to touch down on June 5 in the center of Mare Frigoris (Sea of Cold), a volcanic region interspersed with large-scale faults known as wrinkle ridges.

Mare Frigoris formed over 3.5 billion years ago as massive basalt eruptions flooded low-lying terrain, according to Mark Robinson, a lunar scientist for the company Intuitive Machines who is based in Phoenix, Arizona. Later, the wrinkle ridges formed as the crust buckled under the weight of the heavy basalt deposits.

Lost on landing

Shortly after Resilience's landing sequence, the ispace Mission Control Center was unable to establish communications with the spacecraft. The team determined that Resilience had likely been lost, a conclusion that was firmed up a few hours later.

Also lost on landing was the Tenacious microrover, a small wheeled vehicle developed in Luxembourg by ispace's European subsidiary. Tenacious carried a piece of artwork on its front bumper — Mikael Genberg's "Moonhouse," a small replica of the red-and-white homes famous in Sweden.

Dark smudge

Resilience left some telltale marks when it slammed into the moon on June 5, and LRO noticed them.

"The dark smudge formed as the vehicle excavated and redistributed shallow regolith (soil); the faint bright halo resulted from low-angle regolith particles scouring the delicate surface," Robinson, the principal investigator for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, told Inside Outer Space.

The crash spot is roughly 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) from the landing site that ispace mapped out, to one decimal place, on its webpage. One decimal place in lunar latitude and longitude equals 19 miles (30 km), Robinson said.

Resilience was ispace's second moon lander. The company's first such probe also crashed during its touchdown try, in April 2023.

Three Alleged International UFO Crashes

 Antonio Huneeus

They allegedly came from Space, appeared metallic, and prompted official investigations. Were the mystery objects downed in Canada, Bolivia, and Russia genuine UFOs or some sort of secret space probes?

There are dozens of reported downed UFOs around the globe—some better documented and more credible than others. This article will address three of the best international cases including the unknown “dark object” that splashed off the Atlantic Coast near the small fishing village of Shag Harbour in Nova Scotia, Canada, on October 4, 1967; the powerful impact of an unknown space object in a remote mountainous area in Bolivia’s Tarija Department, on May 6, 1978; and the crash of a mysterious probe on Hill 611 in the Russian Pacific city of Dalnegorsk on January 29, 1986.

Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada, 1967

Dozens of witnesses saw unidentified lights falling into the Atlantic Ocean on the southeastern coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, on the night of October 4, 1967. The investigation and search effort to recover debris involved Canadian military and police agencies, including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the ‘Air Desk’ at the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in charge of UFO investigations, and the Coast Guard and Royal Navy Maritime Command, which coordinated a search effort with divers. Although widely reported by the media at the time, the case was quickly forgotten until 1993, when Halifax researcher Chris Styles began a new investigation into the incident.

Shag Harbour, as the case has come to be known, has a unique advantage over other alleged UFO crashes because, as Styles states, it offers an “official paper trail.” These are genuine officially released Canadian government documents, not some disputed memos commonly found in ufology. That’s why when a book about this incident, Dark Object, was published in 2001 by Styles and coauthor Don Ledger, it carried the subtitle of, “The World’s Only Government-Documented UFO Crash.”

A “Priority” telex to Canadian Forces Headquarters, dated October 5, 1967, titled, “UFO Report,” tells the story succinctly:

Night clear, no Moon. Cpl. (Corporal) Wercicky [sic] RCMP Barrington Passage outside Lower Woods Harbour, [Nova Scotia] & other witnesses – names known to RCMP Cpl. – dark object – in excess of 60 ft. – 4 white lights horizontally 15 ft. spacing – movement easterly low altitude down to water surface unknown but in excess of five minutes UFO descended rapidly to water with high whistling sound. Bright flash on hitting water. Single light floating on surface remained for long time sank before RCMP could get boat to it. Area searched extensively by [Canadian Coast Guard] lifeboat 101 and many small boats – nil results. Position of last sighting 4330.5N 6545W. All other possible leads ([aircraft], flares, etc.) checked – nil results. Follow up: at 03:21:57 Coast Guard Cutter 101 proceeding to area with RCMP on board to research area based on A/Ref Baton Point.

I know his case quite well as I visited the area twice, once in 1996 and again in 2003, interviewing Styles and a couple of witnesses, including retired RCMP officer Victor Werbicki, who was one of the first Mounties to arrive on the scene. In a telephone interview from his home in Alberta, Werbicki stated,

From my investigation and talking to many people, some good witnesses who saw the object, I sincerely felt that something fell down, but we could find no evidence. It came down at an angle supposedly at the channel, it was just unexplained. I was convinced, and I still am, that these people were sincere. I was convinced from all the witnesses that something came down and I don’t know what.

Most accounts place the beginning of the Shag Harbour incident around 11 p.m., when dozens of fishermen and some policemen saw lights plunging into the ocean. Their initial reaction was that an airplane had just crashed. Many vessels rushed to the spot, expecting to rescue survivors, but instead found the whole area covered with yellow foam. One of the documents uncovered by Styles, however, was a report by Leo Howard Mersey, captain of the J.B. Nickerson ship, who saw a UFO in the area a couple of hours earlier, adding that the object was also detected by the ship’s radar. Mersey’s report to the RCMP detachment in Lunenburg described the sighting:

At about 9 PM, on the 4 OCT 67, I noticed an object with three flashing red lights. Radar indicated this object to be sixteen miles away. It was very clear that night and we could see the lights of Halifax. At the time our boat was 32 miles south of Sambro Light and the object was approximately 16 miles north east of us… At the same time there were three other objects on the radar and about 6 miles from the first object. I would say it disappeared about 11:00 PM, when it went up in the air. I could not see any shape or form to it because of the distance. When it went into the air it only had one flashing light. While the object was on the water, or close to the water, it had three real bright flashing red lights… It is not unusual to see the Navy, or aircraft, dropping things into the water there. I had never seen anything like that before but it sounds like the thing they are looking for down off Shelburne or Barrington Passage. When the object left it went straight up in the air with only one red light.

Other witnesses pick up the story about fifteen minutes later, as summarized by Chris Styles, “It began sometime after 11 o’clock October the 4th, which was a moonless clear night. People who were driving or in the area began to notice that there was a set of flashing lights in the sky…most of them reported four, some of them saw them at a sharp angle and saw only three.” The witnesses called the RCMP, and when three officers arrived on the scene, “they could still see a pale yellow object moving on the water that looked unusual, it was leaving a trail of refuse, heavy yellow foam on the surface of the water.” Lawrence Smith, the first seaman to reach the impact area, received a phone call and rushed to the dock, “and got on my boat and then proceeded onto the sea, to the area where this object had gone in the water. I saw like a foam on the water, a long strip of foam, long and narrow, and that’s all I saw that night.”

The search continued the following day and the Canadian Navy arrived at noon on October 6—by this time the event was making headlines in the Canadian press. The Chronicle Herald of Halifax had the banner headline: “COULD BE SOMETHING CONCRETE IN SHAG HARBOR UFO—RCAF.” Other papers talked of a “Hunt for Saucer,” and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation showed newsreels of the navy divers. “The Canadian naval search lasted until Sunday evening,” said Styles, “when the Maritime Command announced that the official naval search was canceled, but many witnesses seem to imply there was some kind of search effort going after that. The stated results of the military search was no results, they had recovered no debris and had no explanation for the object.”

An official memorandum from Col. Turner, Director of Operations at the RCAF Air Desk, summarized the official results: “The Rescue Coordination Centre conducted preliminary investigation and discounted the possibilities that the sighting was produced by an aircraft, flares, floats, or any other known objects.” While the first phase of the Shag Harbour incident can be documented officially, another part of the story is still shrouded in mystery. Styles’ investigation turned up a complex plot involving a second, secret search effort several miles north near Shelburne, next to a then top secret submarine detection base run jointly by the U.S. and Canada, Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Shelburne, which closed down a few years ago. Because he doesn’t have the same level of official documentation, Styles refers to this episode as “the story.” It was told to him confidentially by some divers and other retired military sources.

According to this version, as Styles wrote in a paper for the 1996 MUFON UFO Symposium Proceedings, the crippled UFO that plunged into the ocean near Shag Harbour, “navigated its way, while submerged, to a point on the seabed which lay off Shelburne County’s Government Point.” He continued,

A flotilla of ships sat over the submerged UFO. Consideration was given to the possibility of attempting a recovery operation. Procrastination was due to the fact that a second UFO was on the scene repairing the first crippled craft. The Naval operation would continue for seven days. It remained a mission of observation only. On the seventh day a Soviet submarine violated the former twelve-mile international limit and began to close on the UFO’s position. The surface ships sailed towards the approaching intruder to show challenge. Shortly thereafter, both UFOs began moving while still submerged towards the Gulf of Maine. Later in open water they surfaced, became airborne, and then flew away at high speed. The story also claims that in spite of public denials from Maritime Command, debris was recovered at the Shag Harbour impact site. The Styrofoam-like and aluminum-like debris was collected and driven to the Defense Research Establishment facility in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

Styles concluded:

I really have trouble explaining this in conventional terms. I really try to avoid speculating, but I do feel that when you look at all the composite of evidence from the multiple witnesses, from the military response, from the implications of the physical evidence, I think it’s pretty suggestive that something, either extraterrestrial, extra-temporal or extra-dimensional is responsible. I opt for extraterrestrial myself, and that opens of course a myriad of other questions, but it did imply a nuts and bolt object that was both aerodynamic and hydrodynamic.

In 2003, an official Canada Post stamp was issued to commemorate this mysterious and still unresolved UFO case.

Tarija Department, southeastern Bolivia, near the border of Salta Province, Argentina, 1978

The Tarija case is probably South America’s best documented and most credible UFO crash incident. There were dozens—probably hundreds—of eyewitnesses who saw a cylindrical-shaped object spewing smoke across the sky on the mid-afternoon of May 6, 1978, and crash on a remote mountain near the Bermejo River, which separates the border between  Bolivia’s Tarija Department and Argentina’s Salta Province. Others heard a loud explosion—a sonic boom heard that was heard within 120 miles that shattered windows of villages over 30 miles from the target site.  Some saw a thick column of smoke rising from a mountain known in Argentina as El Taire, or El Zaire, and in Bolivia as Cerro Bravo. Although the incident was widely reported in the South American press, there was a great deal of confusion about the facts. For days it wasn’t clear if the space object had crashed in Bolivian or Argentinean territory, and there was further confusion about its origin—whether it was a meteorite, a man-made space probe, or a real UFO.

The involvement of the U.S. government in this affair provided additional intrigue. The South American press kept mentioning the arrival of NASA experts at the area, and two American military officers in civilian dress were photographed by the local press as they arrived in Tarija supposedly “on vacation.” Some reports allege that metallic fragments and even a large capsule were retrieved and quickly moved away in a U.S. Air Force Hercules cargo plane; other reports claim this was not true, and that something may still be buried under a rock slide. Yet the participation of American officials is not in doubt, as we know from a few documents released by the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Air Force that Tarija indeed came under the eye of Project Moon Dust and Operation Blue Fly—two programs headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, which were tasked with retrieving sensitive space debris and “Unidentified Flying Objects,” as stated in a declassified November 1961 Air Force Intelligence memo. The two American officers in Tarija were not NASA scientists, but from the U.S. Defense Attaché Office (DAO) in La Paz, acting under Project Moon Dust guidelines.

Eduardo Salmón and Bienvenido Ortega were Border Policemen with the 20th Detachment in Orán, Argentina, who were on duty in the village of Aguas Blancas on that May afternoon. A luminous flash caught their eyes, and they watched as an oval-shaped metallic-looking object crossed the sky in a northerly direction, trailing smoke. Seconds later they heard a loud explosion. The troopers were attending a soccer match, which had gathered some five hundred people at the local soccer field. Both players and spectators were astonished by the “fireball” that flew over their heads right before the explosion and the cloud of thick smoke. The closest villages to the impact area on the Bolivian side of the border were Padcaya, Mecoya, and La Mamora. Vélez Orozco was an engineer conducting a survey for a private company in Tarija when he too saw the cylindrical object. He estimated it was four meters in diameter and was conical-shaped in front. The explosion, he added, was louder than the one caused by the reentry of a meteorite a year earlier.

Corporal Natalio Farfán Ruiz was the highest military authority in La Mamora. He told Argentinean reporters:

I don’t know what would have happened if the UFO had fallen on their houses. Can you imagine? Some children live here. It was around 4:30 [p.m.] when a cylinder shook the Earth. I swear that it was horrible, I believed the end of the world was coming, but I had top have courage. After all, I was the authority.

Juan Hurtado, an agent with the Border Intelligence Service, described it this way:

It was like a huge wine container with a brilliant white color spewing smoke out of its back. I saw it quite clearly because it passed over my head. I was with three engineers of the Mining Bank in La Paz when I saw the object crash on the hill of El Zaire. The impact was so strong that it threw me down to the ground. In that moment, the whole Earth trembled.

Eventually, the Bolivian Air Force flew three single-engine AT-6 planes over the area and detected a large rockslide over the southern slopes of Cerro Bravo. The area is extremely rugged and of difficult access. Several expeditions attempted to reach the exact impact site, but only the second group, headed by Major Germán Callejas, was able to locate the rockslide around May 24. A great deal of confusion surrounded the case by that time. On May 14, the Buenos Aires newspaper Clarín reported that the object had been recovered—“a metallic-dull cylinder, four meters long and with some dents”—and that NASA officials would take charge of it. A sketch of the alleged retrieved object published by Clarín resembled a Gemini or Apollo space capsule. There was also a great deal of apprehension that it could be a Soviet nuclear satellite—Cosmos 954 had crashed in northern Canada only three months earlier on January 24, 1978. Finally, there was talk of a meteorite, although my own personal inquiries with the Smithsonian’s Scientific Event Alert Network (SEAN), which tracks natural disasters, showed no meteorite fall in Bolivia in May 1978.

The South American press was full of stories of NASA officials arriving in Tarija, but the truth is that the two military officers who showed up, Col. Robert Simmons and Major John Heisse, were most likely from the U.S. Defense Attaché Office (DAO) in La Paz, who were acting on behalf of Project Moon Dust, which oversaw the retrieval of downed space objects. We know the U.S. government was involved because at least some documents from the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Air Force were later obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. Key among these documents is a May 18 telegram, classified “Secret,” and bearing the name of Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, although it was drafted by Col. Robert Eddington from the State Department’s Bureau of Oceans, International Environment, and Scientific Affairs. The message indicated that the Tarija case, “has been checked with appropriate government agencies. No direct correlation with known space objects that may have reentered the earth’s atmosphere near May 6 can be made. However, we are continuing to examine any possibilities.” The message then referred the U.S. Embassy in La Paz to, “State Airgram A-6343 of July 26, 1973 which provides background information and guidance for dealing with space objects that have been found.” Secretary Vance concluded: “In particular any information pertaining to the pre-impact observations, direction or trajectory, number of objects observed, time of impact and a detailed description including any markings would be helpful.”

Additional data is provided by a couple of documents from the DAO in La Paz under the subject of Moon Dust. “This office has tried to verify the stories put forth in…the local press,” informed the DAO, adding that their office had contacted the chief of staff of the Bolivian Air Force and the commander of the Bolivian Army, both of whom indicated that search parties were “directed to go into the area to find the object but found nothing.” Two independent American investigators, the seasoned National Enquirer reporter Bob Pratt and Charles Tucker of the International UFO Investigating Bureau, actually visited the area and interviewed many witnesses, including the members of the Bolivian expeditions. Pratt tried to reach the crash site himself but couldn’t because of the difficulties of the terrain. In a 1984 letter, Pratt wrote that “a lot of misinformation has been published about this incident. I am certain, however, that the area was not cordoned off by the military, that no object was recovered by NASA or anyone else, that no Hercules picked up anything.” Pratt finished his letter by stating that, “I believe something crashed into the mountain and was buried under the landslide it created. But the six people I know who have personally inspected the site could find no debris of any kind. Whatever struck there is probably going to remain buried there.”

Dalnegorsk, Russian Pacific Coast, 1986

Although there are several reported UFO crashes in Russia and the republics of the old Soviet Union, the Dalnegorsk incident of 1986 is unique because it is one of the few cases where metallic fragments were recovered and analyzed by scientists with the results openly published. A number of unique circumstances made this possible. The principal investigator of the case, Dr. Valery Dvuzhilny, led a group from the Far Eastern Commission on Anomalous Phenomena, and the timing coincided with the then newly implemented policies of glasnost and perestroika issued by Mikhail Gorbachev, which allowed the publication of the case. Dvuzhilny also corresponded extensively with Western researchers, sending copies of his reports and photos of the recovered evidence.

Dalnegorsk is a small city near Russia’s Pacific Coast, on the Sea of Japan, just north of Vladivostok. The story begins at 7:55 p.m., on January 29, 1986, with the collision of an unknown object on Hill 611 in Dalnegorsk. One of the reports by Dr. Dvuzhilny summarized the events:

Residents of the settlements observed a reddish-orange sphere the size of a half full moon, which flew from the southwest at 260 degrees. Its altitude was 700-800 meters. The flight was parallel to the surface of the Earth, without the angles which are characteristic for meteorites. The witnesses heard absolutely no noises. The calculated speed by chronometer was 15 meters per second. There was no change of direction or altitude.

The object then approached the Izvestkovaya Mountain, or Hill 611, which has an elevation of 600 meters and is located at the center of the city. “The object made a dive and went at an angle of 60-70 degrees on the cliff ledge, where it ‘fell’ and burned for an hour,” continued the report, “some of the witnesses affirm that it rose and lowered itself six times, and that its light was intensified during its rise and weakened during its lowering.” Dvuzhilny and his team arrived on the scene on February 3, finding a number of physical traces, which included lead and iron balls, bits of glass, a fine mesh or netting, traces of high temperature activity, magnetic anomalies, and damage to nearby trees and stumps.

The materials were analyzed by several laboratories and research institutes; the results were quite enigmatic, leading Dvuzhilny and other scientists to conclude that the Dalnegorsk object was probably an artificial space probe of non-terrestrial origin. According to one report published in the influential newspaper, Socialist Industry (now Rabochaya Tribuna), “in the scales (or mesh), almost all the elements of the entire periodic table were found.” Special analysis of the lead balls, for instance, showed that besides lead, they contained silicon (20%), aluminum (10%), iron (15%), zinc (1.5%), titanium (2%), magnesium (1%) and silver (2%), as well as minute portions of copper, lanthanum, praseodymium, calcium, sodium, vanadium, cerium, chrome, cobalt, nickel, and molybdenum.

The scales, or mesh, reacted in a very strange manner during the laboratory analysis. The Socialist Industry report described how one of the scientists, A. Makeev, “presented the [X-ray] structural analysis and showed that from one scale, after melting it in a vacuum, all of a sudden gold, silver, and nickel disappeared. But there appeared alpha-titanium and molybdenum. In another scale, the metals did not appear at all. And for some reason, after the heating, there appeared beryllium sulfide.”

There were still further surprises, such as “six areas of magnetized silica rock” (silica is a non-magnetic material) found on the crash site. These results were published by A. Petukhov and T. Faminskaya, members of the Council of Scientific and Engineering Sciences’ Commission on Paranormal Events. “Vivid interest was also evoked by the mesh, a carbon-based composite of unknown origin,” wrote Petukhov and Faminskaya, “the specimen was found to include quartz filaments 17 microns thick, and golden wires inside the filament.” All this evidence led some investigators to conclude that something alien had indeed crashed at Hill 611. V. Vysotsky, Doctor of Chemistry from Vladivostok, stated: “Undoubtedly, this is a high-technology product and not a thing of natural or terrestrial origin.” Dvuzhilny proposed that it was “an automatic scout probe” of alien origin, and rejected the alternative hypothesis that it could have been a natural plasmoid.

Still another hypothesis was offered by Yuli Platov, a senior researcher with the Institute of Earth Magnetism, Ionosphere, and Radiowave Propagation of the USSR Academy of Sciences as well as a noted UFO skeptic. Platov wrote that the Dalnegorsk phenomenon, “in reality was connected with the conduct of a technical experiment.” This is a polite way of saying the Hill 611 object was probably a secret Soviet military aircraft or spacecraft; yet, if this was the case why wasn’t Hill 611 immediately cordoned-off by Soviet troops and the material hushed away by the KGB? Why were scientists and technicians from the civilian, rather than the military industrial sector, allowed to conduct their investigation more or less openly and parade their puzzling results to the local and national media? Moreover, neither Platov nor anyone else ever produced any supporting evidence to back their experimental craft hypothesis. Dvuzhilny also noted that there were no rocket launches and no civilian or military traffic over Dalnegorsk on the night of January 29, 1986.

Regardless of its ultimate origin, the crash on Hill 611 was only the beginning of an intense UFO wave around Dalnegorsk. For instance, another report by Dvuzhilny indicates that, “on February 6, 1986, eight days after the UFO crash, there appeared from the north two yellow globes at 8:30 p.m. They approached the crash spot, made four circles over it and disappeared with a flash.” By and large, however, the largest display of UFOs occurred on the night of November 28, 1987. Dvuzhilny wrote: “On Saturday November 28, 1987, 33 UFOs were flying at a low height over the Eastern coast of Primorye. Their flights took place between 9:10 pm and midnight. They were of different shape: cylinders, cigars, globes. They were flying over five regions and twelve settlements.”

Inquiries made by Dvuzhilny showed there had been no flights of civil or military aircraft at that time, and that no rockets were launched from Soviet Cosmodromes. In total, thirteen UFOs flew over Dalnegorsk itself. They were seen by over a hundred witnesses, including military personnel, militia (police), border guards, and sailors, as well as all kind of civilian workers who were questioned by the Far Eastern Commission. Still more sightings occurred in the months to come. The Commission recorded forty-five UFO sightings in 1987, fifteen in 1988, and thirty-two in 1989.  Statistics for the 1990s were not included in the reports sent to the U.S. by Dr. Dvuzhilny, but what was included—all the evidence reviewed here—is quite extraordinary.

THE METALLIC SPHERES – A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY

Some of the Project Moon Dust documents declassified by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) include reports of mysterious metallic spheres found scattered in many countries around the world like Bolivia, Chad, and New Zealand. Other similar cases not in the DIA documents were reported in Argentina and Mexico. Usually these cases were readily identified as some kind of space junk, but occasionally they were treated as fragments from crashed UFOs. A couple of these spheres are even on display at the “Visión OVNI” (UFO Vision) Museum in Victoria in the province of Entre Ríos, Argentina. Among the Mexican cases, one was found in Chiapas in 1996, two in Tamaulipas in 1994 and 1996, and another obtained by famous TV journalist Jaime Maussán in 2008, all of which were claimed as possibly UFO-related fragments. Yet there can be little doubt that all these “space balls” are mundane parts of the Russian or American space programs and not real UFO artifacts.

Here is a representative Moon Dust memo from the Republic of Chad in Africa, dated October 10, 1970:

This report forwards photographs of object believed to come under Project ‘MOON DUST’. The object was seen falling in an area 30 kms N.E. of LAI (0924N-1618E) on 1 August 1970. It produced three loud explosions on landing and was said to have burned for five days. The sphere weighs 30 pounds and has a circumference of four feet. A second object was found in the same general area. It however, resembles au automobile shaft. Photographs of this object are forwarded.

A longer Moon Dust document, dated August 17, 1979, concerns “an unidentified object having been found on a farm near Santa Cruz” in Bolivia, described as “about three times the size of a basketball.” The document quoted the director of the Air Force Academy, Col. Ariel Coca, as stating, “The sphere is made of special light ally but very resistant, possibly a fuel tank or a part of a satellite! The object does not have any signs or marks that could identify its origin nor the country to which it belongs.”

The argument in favor of the extraterrestrial origin of these spheres made by some ufologists in Mexico and Argentina is that they are extremely hard, almost impossible to burn or cut. But this is what you would expect of a fuel tank for a spacecraft, designed to be ejected for earth reentry once the fuel is used; it has to be made of metals able to withstand the space launch or the satellite or spacecraft could be in danger. Mexican engineer Luis Ruiz Noguez, a well-known UFO skeptic, explained that the alloy, which is composed of titanium, vanadium, and aluminum, shown in the 1994 and 1996 Mexican spheres “is chiefly utilized in the manufacture of fuel tanks for artificial satellites due to their high resistance to corrosion and temperature.” While the spheres at Argentina’s Visión OVNI Museum are exhibited as true UFO artifacts, another local museum in Paraná has a couple of similar spheres that the Russian space program has acknowledged as part of a Russian space probe.

These spheres provide a useful cautionary tale in learning how to distinguish prosaic man-made space objects from true unknown devices. There is a good possibility that many so-called UFO crashes have a terrestrial origin, but others are still enigmatic and so far unexplained.

UFO made cloud over Antelope Island, Utah June 20, 2025, UAP Alien Sighting News.   Strange Sky

Date of sighting: June 20, 2025

Location of sighting: Antelope Park, Utah, USA

Source: Self recorded

 

As I have said over the years, aliens of all alien species out there...like to view themselves as superior in all ways to humans. This includes outwitting them by hiding in the most obvious ways possible. But we know of past UFO research that UFOs not only hide in clouds, but often create the clouds themselves to hide within. This is another example of such a UFO cloaked within a cloud over Utah that I personally recorded last night.

Wetenschappelijke Analyse: De Verandering van Kleuren in de Oceanen en de Betekenis voor het Klimaat en Ecosysteem

Inleiding

De oceanen vormen het grootste aquatische ecosysteem op aarde, met een cruciale rol in het wereldwijde klimaat, het zuurstofniveau in de atmosfeer, en de biodiversiteit. Recente wetenschappelijke rapporten en satellietwaarnemingen wijzen op een opvallende verandering in de kleur van de oceanen. Dit fenomeen, dat op het eerste gezicht esthetisch en onbeduidend lijkt, heeft diepgaande implicaties voor de oceanografie, klimaatwetenschap en ecologie. In deze analyse wordt de wetenschappelijke basis van de waargenomen kleurverandering onderzocht, inclusief de onderliggende processen, de methoden voor waarneming, en de mogelijke gevolgen voor het mondiale ecosysteem.

Waarnemingen en Methodologie

De toename of verandering in oceaankleuren wordt voornamelijk gedocumenteerd via satellietbeelden en remote sensing-technologieën. Satellieten zoals NASA’s MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) en ESA’s Sentinel-3 gebruiken spectroradiometrische instrumenten om de reflectie en absorptie van licht door het oceaanwater te meten. Deze metingen maken het mogelijk om de kleur van het water te kwantificeren in termen van de reflectie in verschillende golflengten, die vervolgens worden vertaald naar kwantitatieve parameters zoals chlorofyl-a concentraties en de aanwezigheid van plankton of andere deeltjes.

De waarnemingen laten zien dat bepaalde oceanen en oceanische regio’s, zoals de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan, de gebieden rond de Indische Oceaan en de Stille Oceaan, in de loop van de afgelopen decennia een duidelijke verandering in kleur vertonen. Vaak wordt deze verandering gekenmerkt door een intensivering van de groene en bruine tinten, wat wijst op een verhoogde aanwezigheid van fytoplankton en organisch materiaal in het water. Het gebruik van algoritmes voor het analyseren van satellietbeelden maakt het mogelijk om deze veranderingen te kwantificeren en te volgen over tijd.

Fysiologische en Biologische Oorzaken

De primaire oorzaak van de verandering in oceaankleuren wordt toegeschreven aan de toename van fytoplankton, microscopische fotosynthetische organismen die een belangrijke rol spelen in de koolstofcyclus en het zuurstofniveau in de atmosfeer. De verhoogde aanwezigheid van fytoplankton wordt vaak gekoppeld aan verhoogde nutrientenconcentraties in het water, zoals stikstof en fosfor, die de groei van deze organismen stimuleren.

Deze nutrienten kunnen afkomstig zijn uit verschillende bronnen:

• Landelijke afvoer en rivierwater: Door intensieve landbouw en stedelijke afvoer wordt een verhoogde hoeveelheid nutrienten in rivierwater geloosd, dat vervolgens in de oceaan terechtkomt.
• Zeewatervervuiling en industriële emissies: Sommige regio’s krijgen te maken met anthropogene vervuiling die de nutrientenbalans beïnvloedt.
• Klimaatverandering en oceaanstraling: Toenemende temperaturen en veranderende oceaanstromingen zorgen voor een betere menging en distributie van nutrienten en organisch materiaal.

Een hogere concentratie van fytoplankton leidt tot een toename in chlorofyl-a, wat direct gerelateerd is aan de groene tinten in de oceaan. Deze verhoogde algengroei, vaak aangeduid als “algenbloei”, kan natuurlijk voorkomen, maar wordt in veel gevallen versterkt door menselijke activiteiten.

Naast fytoplankton kunnen ook andere deeltjes, zoals sedimenten, zand en organisch materiaal, bijdragen aan de kleurverandering. Sedimenten die door rivierafvoer worden meegenomen, kunnen bijvoorbeeld de waterkleur donkerder maken, vooral in kustgebieden.

Uit het nieuwe onderzoek blijkt dat 21% van de wereldwijde oceaan een afname van de diepte van de verlichte zones heeft ervaren.

Chemische en Fysische Processen

De verandering van oceaankleuren wordt niet alleen beïnvloed door biologische factoren, maar ook door fysische en chemische processen die de optische eigenschappen van water bepalen:

• Veranderingen in de lichtabsorptie en -reflectie: De aanwezigheid van organisch materiaal en deeltjes beïnvloedt hoe licht wordt gereflecteerd en geabsorbeerd. Fytoplankton en organisch materiaal absorberen licht in specifieke golflengten, wat leidt tot een verschuiving in de waargenomen kleur.
• Oceaanstraling en temperatuur: Hogere temperaturen kunnen leiden tot een verhoogde fotosynthetische activiteit en algengroei, wat op zijn beurt de kleur beïnvloedt.
• Oceaanstromingen en menging: Verschillende watermassa's mengen elkaar, waardoor de samenstelling en kleur van het water kunnen veranderen. Bijvoorbeeld, verplaatsingen van koud en warm water kunnen leiden tot regionale kleurveranderingen.

Een donker wordende fotische zone zou dieren kunnen dwingen om dichter naar het oppervlak te gaan, waar de concurrentie om hulpbronnen groter is, aldus de onderzoekers.

Ecologische en Klimaatimplicaties

De waargenomen verandering in oceaankleuren heeft belangrijke ecologische gevolgen:

1. Veranderingen in het mariene ecosysteem: Een toename in fytoplankton kan leiden tot “algenbloei”, die op zijn beurt de zuurstofvoorziening in het water beïnvloedt. Bij massale algenbloei kunnen dood organisch materiaal en afbraakprocessen zuurstoftekorten veroorzaken, wat bekend staat als hypoxie of “dead zones”.

2. Effect op het voedselweb: Fytoplankton vormt de basis van het mariene voedselweb. Een verandering in de hoeveelheid en types van fytoplankton heeft directe gevolgen voor het hele mariene ecosysteem. Een toename kan leiden tot een verschuiving in de soortenrijkdom en de biodiversiteit. Sommige soorten fytoplankton kunnen giftige stoffen produceren, wat de voedselketen kan verontreinigen en schadelijk kan zijn voor zeezoogdieren, vissen en menselijke consumptie. Daarnaast kunnen veranderingen in de samenstelling van de fytoplanktongemeenschap de populaties van andere mariene organismen beïnvloeden, zoals kleine kreeftachtigen (krill) en planktoneters, wat verder de stabiliteit van het ecosysteem onder druk zet.

   Klimaatverandering en oceaanverzuring versterken deze effecten nog verder. Door de opwarming van de aarde neemt de oceaanopwarming toe, wat de stratificatie van het water vergemakkelijkt. Dit betekent dat warme, minder gemengde oppervlaktewaterlagen langer blijven bestaan, waardoor de toevoer van voedingsstoffen naar het oppervlakte vermindert. Dit kan leiden tot minder productieve gebieden voor fytoplankton, maar in sommige regio’s kunnen warmere omstandigheden juist een toename van bepaalde soorten veroorzaken. Tegelijkertijd zorgt de opname van CO2 door de oceaan voor verzuring, wat de groei en het functioneren van kalkproducerende organismen zoals koraal en schelpdieren beïnvloedt.

   De ecologische gevolgen van dergelijke veranderingen zijn ingrijpend. Bijvoorbeeld, de afname van kalkhoudende organismen kan het mariene voedselweb verder destabiliseren, aangezien veel van deze organismen een essentiële rol spelen in het ecosysteem. Bovendien kunnen grote algenbloei en de daaropvolgende hypoxie leiden tot massale sterfte onder zeeleven, wat niet alleen de biodiversiteit aantast, maar ook de visserij en lokale gemeenschappen die afhankelijk zijn van gezonde oceanen.

   Klimaatimplicaties kunnen zich verder uiten in de versterking van de klimaatverandering zelf. Oceanen functioneren als een koolstofput, maar de versnelde opname van CO2 en de daarmee gepaard gaande verzuring verminderen hun capaciteit om koolstof op te slaan. Dit versterkt de opwarming van de aarde en versnelt de negatieve ecologische effecten.

   Bovendien beïnvloeden de veranderingen in oceaankleuren en de bijbehorende ecologische processen ook het wereldwijde klimaat. Een verstoord marien ecosysteem kan leiden tot veranderingen in de koolstofcyclus en de wereldwijde temperatuurregulatie. Dit onderstreept het belang van het monitoren van oceaanveranderingen en het nemen van passende maatregelen om de negatieve gevolgen te beperken.

Conclusie

Het observeren van veranderingen in oceaankleuren biedt belangrijke inzichten in de ecologische en klimaatimplicaties van de recente milieuveranderingen. De toename van fytoplankton en de daaruit voortvloeiende algenbloei kunnen zowel positieve als negatieve effecten hebben op het mariene ecosysteem. Echter, de negatieve gevolgen, zoals hypoxie, verlies van biodiversiteit en verstoring van het voedselweb, wegen op lange termijn zwaarder. Klimaatverandering en oceaanverzuring versterken deze problemen en maken het noodzakelijk dat wereldwijd actie wordt ondernomen. Het beschermen van onze oceanen vergt een geïntegreerde aanpak, inclusief vermindering van broeikasgasemissies, duurzame visserijpraktijken en het bevorderen van mariene biodiversiteit. Alleen door bewustwording en collectieve inspanning kunnen we de ecologische en klimaatimplicaties beperken en zorgen voor een gezonde oceaan voor toekomstige generaties.

Another Unexplained Metallic Orb-Shaped UFO Was Filmed Flying And Hovering In The Sky

For some reason, orb or sphere-shaped UFOs keep appearing all over the world. They are usually metallic-looking and there is almost never a solid explanation for what they are or why they are flying around.

In 2023, a group that was formed by NASA to study UFOs that was made up of “some of the world’s leading scientists, data and artificial intelligence practitioners, aerospace safety experts” revealed in a public briefing that a large number of unexplained metallic orbs have been reported being seen at high altitudes around the world.

Since then, a sphere-shaped UFO was filmed darting back and forth in a zig-zag motion above a city in Colombia, another was reported by a Connecticut police officer, and one more was photographed by a visitor to Exmouth Beach in Devon, England. And those are just a few of the orb-shaped UFO sightings that have garnered media attention.

This latest orb-shaped UFO video was reportedly captured on June 5th at around 7 p.m. local time by a witness in Beijing, China.

“I was walking and taking photos of the scenery on the shallow area of Shayukou Reservoir,” the witness stated. “At first, I saw a metallic spherical object flying eastward above the water surface from the west side of the reservoir. At that time, it seemed to hover occasionally before continuing to fly, and it disappeared behind a hill. I initially thought it was just a strange hydrogen balloon and didn’t pay much attention.

“Around 7:30 p.m., as I was about to head back, the sphere reappeared in the south. There was no wind at all, and the evening was very quiet. Surprisingly, the sphere was able to fly at varying altitudes, hovering midway before continuing to fly. I watched for a few minutes and became certain it was definitely not a balloon or a drone. I then started filming, but the object was strange — every time I filmed for a short while, it would move behind the trees. Whenever I thought it had completely disappeared, it would reappear. This continued intermittently for over ten minutes, during which I recorded three video clips. After the last clip, it disappeared completely.”

Once again, no explanation has been provided. So, what are all of these orb-shaped UFOs that keep appearing all over the world? And what is their purpose? We may never know.

Is Mars really red? A physicist explains the truth.

In my current research on exoplanets, I observe different types of signals from planets beyond Earth. Lots of interesting physics goes into how researchers perceive the colors of planets and stars through different types of telescopes.

Observing Mars with probes

If you look closely at pictures of Mars taken by rovers on its surface, you can see that most of the planet isn't purely red, but more of a rusty brown or tan color.

Probes sent from Earth have taken pictures showing rocks with a rusty color. A 1976 picture from the Viking lander, the very first spacecraft to land on Mars, shows the Martian ground covered with a layer of rusty orange dust.

Not all of Mars' surface has the same color. At the poles, its ice caps appear white. These ice caps contain frozen water, like the ice we usually find on Earth, but these ice caps are also covered by a layer of frozen carbon dioxide — dry ice.

This layer of dry ice can evaporate very quickly when sunlight shines on it and grows back again when it becomes dark. This process causes the white ice caps to grow and shrink in size depending on the Martian seasons.

Beyond visible light

Mars also gives off light in colors that you can't see with your eyes but that scientists can measure with special cameras on telescopes.

Light itself can be thought of not only as a wave but also as a stream of particles called photons. The amount of energy carried by each photon is related to its color. For example, blue and violet photons have more energy than orange and red photons.

Ultraviolet photons have even more energy than the photons you can see with your eyes. These photons are found in direct sunlight, and because they have so much energy, they can damage the cells in your body. You can use sunscreen to protect yourself from them.

Infrared photons have less energy than the photons you can see with your eyes, and you don't need any special protection from them. This is how some types of night-vision goggles work: They can see light in the infrared spectrum as well as the visible color spectrum. Scientists can take pictures of Mars in the infrared spectrum using special cameras that work almost like night-vision goggles for telescopes.

The colors on the infrared picture aren't really what the infrared light looks like, because you can't see those colors with your eyes. They are called "false colors," and researchers add them to look at the picture more easily.

When you compare the visible color picture and the infrared picture, you can see some of the same features — and the ice caps are visible in both sets of colors.

NASA's MAVEN spacecraft, launched in 2013, has even taken pictures with ultraviolet light, giving scientists a different view of both the surface of Mars and its atmosphere.

Each new type of picture tells scientists more about the Martian landscape. They hope to use these details to answer questions about how Mars formed, how long it had active volcanoes, where its atmosphere came from and whether it had liquid water on its surface.

Astronomers are always looking for new ways to take telescope pictures outside of the regular visible spectrum. They can even make images using radio waves, microwaves, X-rays and gamma rays. Each part of the spectrum they can use to look at an object in space represents new information they can learn from.

Even though people have been looking at Mars since ancient times, we still have much to learn about this fascinating neighbor.
