    WVU researcher unearths an ice age in the African desert

    WVU's Graham Andrews' study of volcanic rocks in Namibia led to the discovery of drumlins, a type of hill often found in places once covered in glaciers.

    A field trip to Namibia to study volcanic rocks led to an unexpected discovery by West Virginia University geologists Graham Andrews and Sarah Brown.

    While exploring the desert country in southern Africa, they stumbled upon a peculiar land formation—flat desert scattered with hundreds of long, steep hills. They quickly realized the bumpy landscape was shaped by drumlins, a type of hill often found in places once covered in glaciers, an abnormal characteristic for desert landscapes. 

    Drumlins, hills formed in places once covered by glaciers, were discovered in Namibia by WVU's Graham Andrews.

    “We quickly realized what we were looking at because we both grew up in areas of the world that had been under glaciers, me in Northern Ireland and Sarah in northern Illinois,” said Andrews, an assistant professor of geology. “It’s not like anything we see in West Virginia where we’re used to flat areas and then gorges and steep-sided valleys down into hollows.”

    After returning home from the trip, Andrews began researching the origins of the Namibian drumlins, only to learn they had never been studied. 

    “The last rocks we were shown on the trip are from a time period when southern Africa was covered by ice,” Andrews said. “People obviously knew that part of the world had been covered in ice at one time, but no one had ever mentioned anything about how the drumlins formed or that they were even there at all.” 

    Andrews teamed up with WVU geology senior Andy McGrady to use morphometrics, or measurements of shapes, to determine if the drumlins showed any patterns that would reflect regular behaviors as the ice carved them. 

    While normal glaciers have sequential patterns of growing and melting, they do not move much, Andrews explained. However, they determined that the drumlins featured large grooves, which showed that the ice had to be moving at a fast pace to carve the grooves. 

    These grooves demonstrated the first evidence of an ice stream in southern Africa in the late Paleozoic Age, which occurred about 300 million years ago.

    “The ice carved big, long grooves in the rock as it moved,” Andrews said. “It wasn’t just that there was ice there, but there was an ice stream. It was an area where the ice was really moving fast.” 

    McGrady used freely available information from Google Earth and Google Maps to measure their length, width and height.

    “This work is very important because not much has been published on these glacial features in Namibia,” said McGrady, a senior geology student from Hamlin. “It’s interesting to think that this was pioneer work in a sense, that this is one of the first papers to cover the characteristics of these features and gives some insight into how they were formed.”

    Their findings also confirm that southern Africa was located over the South Pole during this period. 

    “These features provide yet another tie between southern Africa and south America to show they were once joined,” Andrews said. 

    The study, “First description of subglacial megalineations from the late Paleozoic ice age in southern Africa” is published in the Public Library of Science’s PLOS One journal.  

    “This is a great example of a fundamental discovery and new insights into the climatic history of our world that remain to be discovered,” said Tim Carr, chair of the Department of Geology and Geography.

    Experts baffled by mysterious creature discovered in Kiwi's kitchen

    An Auckland man and experts have been left baffled after his mother discovered alien-like looking creatures on her kitchen floor.

    On Facebook Tim Clerke shared a video on Facebook of the bizarre creatures on his mum's hands, asking if people knew what they were.

    "My mother found these on the kitchen floor this morning," he wrote.

    "One is still alive. Anyone know what they are? Nikki is horrified and will have nightmares for weeks!"

    Many of Facebook speculated what the creatures could be, while others were freaked out by the video.

    "Those are miniature bats. Duh," one person wrote.

    "I was thinking more alien," Clerke replied.

    Another guessed: "Ew gross mutant mice??"

    "Arghh, they're horrible!! Kind of stingray-like," another suggested.

    "What the ...!!!! That is like a horror movie!", one person said in disbelief.

    Despite the video having over 3000 views, Facebook users could not identify what the animals were, even experts couldn't come to a conclusive decision.

    Experts contacted by Yahoo7 News at University of Sydney and the Australian Museum could not identify the creature, however experts in New Zealand had differing opinions.

    The Biosecurity New Zealand entomology team suggested the video showed the detached legs of a moth.

    "They suggest that something [possibly a cat] had just recently eaten the body of the moth, which may explain why a few of the legs were still twitching," a spokesperson told Yahoo!7.

    However, the Department of Conservation has other ideas.

    Eric Edwards who is an insect expert, said it was possible the unknown specimens could be a rat-tailed maggots but he wasn't entirely sure.

    The true identity of the animals is yet to be confirmed.

    The creatures were found crawling on a kitchen floor in Auckland, New Zealand

    Groene elektriciteit kampt met grondstoffencrisis

    De bronafbeelding bekijken

    In windmolens, zonnepanelen, batterijen en elektrische auto’s zitten metalen van vaak bedenkelijke herkomst. Om onze honger naar hernieuwbare energie te stillen, zullen we er veel meer van nodig hebben en Europa wil de handen zelf niet vuilmaken. 'We zijn naïef en hypocriet.'

    Willen we de opwarming van het klimaat binnen de perken houden, dan moeten we tegen 2050 al onze elektriciteit klimaatneutraal opwekken. Daarvoor moet de hoeveelheid elektriciteit die we met zonnepanelen en windmolens opwekken volgens het volgens het Internationaal Energieagentschap (IEA) ongeveer vertwintigvoudigen.

    De enorme aangroei van windmolens, zonnepanelen en elektrische voertuigen zal de vraag naar bekende en minder bekende metalen doen stijgen

    Ook transport moet elektrisch. In 2017 kwamen iets meer dan een miljoen nieuwe elektrische auto’s op de weg, wat het totaal op ruim drie miljoen brengt. Ze worden steeds goedkoper. Experts schatten dat ze tussen 2020 en 2025 met de klassieke auto zullen wedijveren. Wetenschappers aan de Vrije Universiteit Brussel verwachten dat tegen 2030 een kwart van de wereldwijd verkochte auto’s hybride of volledig elektrisch rijdt, goed voor een kleine 140 miljoen nieuwe elektrische wagens per jaar.

    Die enorme aangroei van windmolens, zonnepanelen en elektrische voertuigen zal de vraag naar bekende en minder bekende metalen doen stijgen. ‘Slagen we er niet in de stijgende behoefte aan metalen te dekken, dan kan dat stokken steken in de wielen van de energietransitie’, zegt Elmer Rietveld, ingenieur aan de Nederlandse Organisatie voor toegepast-natuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek (TNO).

    De TNO identificeerde recent zeventien metalen die belangrijk zijn voor de energietransitie en waarvoor een ‘nooit geziene toename’ van de ontginning nodig is. Ook de Europese Commissie houdt nauwlettend een lijst bij met zogenoemde ‘kritieke grondstoffen’, waarvan de bevoorrading onzeker is. Voor sommige essentiële grondstoffen kan dat al tegen 2030 problematisch worden.

    Volgens sommige schattingen moeten we tussen nu en 2025 jaarlijks een nieuwe lithiummijn openen om de vraag te kunnen volgen.

    Dat is onder meer het geval voor lithium en kobalt, onderdelen van de populaire lithiumionbatterijen, en voor indium en zilver, nodig voor zonnepanelen. Ook de beschikbaarheid van neodymium, praseodymium en dysprosium kan een probleem vormen. Die zogenoemde zeldzame aarden zitten in magneten die cruciaal zijn in bepaalde types windmolens en in elektrische motoren. Een gemiddelde elektrische fiets bevat ongeveer 85 gram neodymium, een elektrische auto zo’n 800 gram.

    We moeten rekenen op een forse toename van de vraag naar zulke grondstoffen. De Wereldbank verwacht dat de vraag naar batterijmetalen als nikkel, aluminium, lithium en kobalt tegen 2050 met meer dan 1000 procent zal toenemen, in een scenario waarin we de opwarming tot twee graden Celsius proberen te beperken. Volgens sommige schattingen moeten we tussen nu en 2025 jaarlijks een nieuwe lithiummijn openen om de vraag te kunnen volgen.Voor cruciale metalen in windmolens en zonnepanelen verwacht de Wereldbank ruwweg een verdubbeling van de vraag.

    Niet zeldzaam, wel corrupt

    Het probleem is niet zozeer dat de stoffen in kwestie schaars zijn. Als je enkel kijkt naar de voorraden die in de aardkorst aanwezig zijn, komen we voor de meeste elementen nog voor eeuwen toe. Zelfs de zeldzame aarden zijn, anders dan de naam doet vermoeden, helemaal niet zeldzaam. Wel zijn er niet zoveel ertsen die rijk genoeg zijn aan zeldzame aarden om ontginning economisch rendabel te maken.

    Zeldzame aarden komen vaak samen voor met de radioactieve elementen thorium en uranium. De ontginning kan daardoor erg vervuilend zijn

    Waarom zijn zoveel experts dan onzeker over de beschikbaarheid van kritische stoffen? Doorgaans heeft dat meer te maken met geopolitieke factoren dan met fysieke schaarste. De echte moeilijkheid is dat een aantal cruciale grondstoffen vooral uit politiek instabiele of corrupte landen komt. Uit een onderzoek van het International Institute of Sustainable Development (IISD) blijkt dat ongeveer 70 procent van de reserves aan kobalt, grafiet, molybdeen en seleen zich in staten bevindt die kwetsbaar zijn voor conflicten en politieke instabiliteit.

    Bovendien zijn we voor sommige elementen afhankelijk van een beperkt aantal leveranciers. Zo’n 95 procent van de zeldzame aarden komt uit China, 65 procent van het kobalt komt uit Congo. Daar staan issues als mensenrechten en milieu doorgaans niet hoog op de agenda.

    In Congo, ook een belangrijke leverancier van tantaal, tin, koper en goud, is de ontginning van kobalt gelinkt met uitbuiting, geweld en kinderarbeid. Volgens Amnesty International komt ongeveer een vijfde van het Congolese kobalt uit kleine, artisanale mijnen, waar de veiligheidsmaatregelen vaak te wensen overlaten.

    Zeldzame aarden komen vaak samen voor met de radioactieve elementen thorium en uranium. De ontginning kan daardoor erg vervuilend zijn. De Bayan Obomijn nabij Baotou in Binnen-Mongolië is de grootste mijn voor zeldzame aarden ter wereld. De streek is er sterk vervuild door de chemicaliën die mijnbouwers gebruiken bij de ontginning en door thoriumhoudend afval uit bezinkingsbekkens. Voorts is een onduidelijke hoeveelheid zeldzame aarden afkomstig uit illegale mijnbouw, waarvan geen gegevens over mensenrechten en milieuzorg bekend zijn.

    Waartoe de afhankelijkheid van één of een beperkt aantal leveranciers kan leiden, werd in 2011 duidelijk. China voerde toen strenge exportquota voor zeldzame aarden in. De prijs van sommige metalen vertienvoudigde. Inmiddels zijn die prijzen weer gedaald. ‘Die daling is vermoedelijk slechts tijdelijk’, zegt Koen Binnemans (KU Leuven). China voert een heel bewuste politiek rond zeldzame aarden, aldus de expert in kritieke metalen. ‘Door de prijzen aanvankelijk laag te houden, hebben buitenlandse mijnen en bedrijven die in recycling investeerden de deuren moeten sluiten. China heeft vervolgens handig gebruik gemaakt van zijn monopolie en de prijzen opgetrokken. Om ze daarna weer te laten zakken en zo nieuwe buitenlandse initiatieven te torpederen.’

    ‘Het lijkt officieel niet zo, maar China hanteert nog steeds exportquota’, zegt Binnemans. ‘Het land wil zijn grondstoffen zo duur mogelijk verkopen. Het verandert tegelijk van een exporteur in een importeur.’ China is momenteel de grootste koper van kobalt, lithium en nikkel. ‘Dat doet het deels om de enorme binnenlandse vraag te dekken: vandaag rijden naar schatting 200 miljoen elektrische fietsen rond in China. Verder exporteert het land liever afgewerkte producten als batterijen en motoren dan metalen. Dat vormt een bedreiging voor onze eigen clean tech-industrie.’

    Harde les

    De zeldzame-aardencrisis van 2011 is een wake-up call geweest. ‘Europa hoopte onafhankelijk te worden van China. Inmiddels is duidelijk dat ons dat absoluut niet zal lukken’, zegt Binnemans. ‘Het is mogelijk dat de crisis zich herhaalt’, besluiten ook experts van het European Rare Earths Competency Network (ERECON) in een rapport. Om onze afhankelijkheid van een beperkt aantal dubieuze leveranciers te verminderen, schuiven experts drie oplossingen naar voren: kritieke metalen zoveel mogelijk vervangen, recyclen, en nieuwe mijnen openen. Geen van die drie is evident.

    ‘We willen schone technologie, maar de nodige metalen mogen niet hier worden ontgonnen. Sta mij toe dat hypocriet te noemen’

    Kritieke elementen vervangen door andere lukt maar tot op zekere hoogte. ‘Voor neodymium in magneten hebben we nog geen goed alternatief, en dat zal er wellicht ook niet snel komen’, denkt Binnemans. Hoewel elektrische-autobouwer Tesla voor zijn eerste modellen motoren zonder zeldzame aarden gebruikte, is de fabrikant daarvan afgestapt. Motoren met neodymium zijn compacter en efficiënter. En hoewel er ook batterijen zonder kobalt bestaan, lijkt het erop dat de li-ionaccu mét kobalt de dominante technologie wordt. De energiedichtheid en compactheid zijn hoger. Ook windmolens zonder magneten – of neodymium – zijn een optie, alleen zijn die minder efficiënt en vragen ze meer onderhoud. Dat maakt ze minder geschikt voor offshoretoepassingen.

    Massaal recyclen dan maar. Al hebben we ook daar een aantal hindernissen te overwinnen. Om recycling rendabel te maken, moeten materiaalverwerkers genoeg afgedankte producten binnenkrijgen. Dat is voor de relatief jonge groene technologieën vaak nog niet het geval, al kan dat snel veranderen. Doorgaans zijn producten ook niet ontworpen om te worden gerecycled. ‘Fabrikanten focussen vrijwel uitsluitend op hoe hun groene technologie presteert, en niet op hoe ze die circulair kunnen ontwerpen’, zegt Rietveld.

    Het kost te veel moeite om producten uit elkaar te halen en de waardevolle materialen te recupereren. Dat is onder meer het geval voor elektrische motoren. ‘Die belanden nu gewoon op de schroothoop en de zeldzame aarden zijn we kwijt’, zegt Peter Tom Jones, expert duurzaam materialenbeheer aan de KU Leuven. In het door de KU Leuven gecoördineerde Demeterproject ontwikkelden onderzoekers een prototype van een elektrische motor waarvan de magneten wél makkelijk te verwijderen en recyclen zijn. Het zal nog even duren voor die is opgeschaald en op de markt komt.

    Dan is het nog de vraag of bedrijven interesse tonen. ‘Er is al heel wat technologie beschikbaar om zeldzame aarden te recyclen, maar het gebeurt nauwelijks’, zegt Jones. ‘Het is goedkoper om nieuw ontgonnen metalen te kopen.’ De zeldzame-aardencrisis is een harde les geweest, aldus Jones. ‘Europa heeft toen enorm geïnvesteerd in onderzoek naar recycling van zeldzame aarden. Dat heeft veel technische oplossingen opgeleverd. En hoeveel zijn er inmiddels commercieel toegepast? Niet één. Ze kunnen niet op tegen de goedkope zeldzame aarden uit China.’

    Een laatste uitdaging is afgedankte producten op de juiste plek krijgen. Volgens Recupel, dat afgedankte elektronica inzamelt, slingeren bij Belgische gezinnen meer dan drie miljoen oude gsm’s rond, minstens één per gezin. Terwijl die waardevolle metalen bevatten. Het Belgische metaalbedrijf Umicore recyclet vandaag al kobalt, koper, nikkel en lithium uit batterijen en mobiele telefoons. De pilootinstallatie van het bedrijf in Hoboken kan jaarlijks 7.000 ton afgedankte batterijen en elektronica verwerken. Dat komt overeen met zo’n 35.000 autobatterijen, 2 miljoen fietsbatterijen, of 250 miljoen mobiele-telefoonbatterijen. ‘Jaarlijks produceren fabrikanten 1,5 miljard smartphones‘, zegt Marjolein Scheers (Umicore). ‘De afgedankte toestellen zouden genoeg kobalt kunnen opleveren voor 2 miljoen elektrische auto’s.’

    Geen mijn in mijn tuin

    Zelfs als we erin slagen veel beter te recyclen, zal er meer mijnbouw nodig zijn. Met de enorm groeiende vraag naar kritieke metalen kan dat niet anders. Hoe zorgen we er dan voor dat we duurzaam ontginnen? ‘Er bestaan richtlijnen voor verantwoorde mijnbouw, maar die moeten dan wel worden nageleefd’, zegt Rietveld. ‘In de praktijk is daar weinig toezicht op, en valt het moeilijk te achterhalen waar metalen precies vandaan komen.’ ‘We willen meer transparantie bij de toeleveringsketens’, zegt Clare Church van het IISD. ‘Nu weten we amper wie het goed doet en wie niet.’

    De Europese Unie heeft een nieuwe regelgeving ingevoerd die moet garanderen dat Europese bedrijven vanaf 2021 geen conflictmineralen meer invoeren. Zulke mineralen liggen aan de basis van mensenrechtenschendingen, corruptie en geweld. Maar die regels gelden enkel voor tin, tantaal, wolfraam en goud. ‘De meeste groene conflictmineralen vallen niet onder de nieuwe regelgeving‘, merkt het IISD op. ‘Bestaande regels zouden ook op alle mineralen voor groene technologie van toepassing moeten zijn, in de eerste plaats op kobalt, zeldzame aarden en lithium.’

    Jones is sceptisch. ‘In de praktijk komt er weinig terecht van die mooie ethische principes. De meeste bedrijven zijn in de eerste plaats geïnteresseerd in de prijs van hun grondstoffen. Het milieu en ethische principes komen helaas meestal pas op de tweede plaats.’

    Waarom de grondstoffen dan niet gewoon dichter bij huis halen, waar verantwoorde ontginning meer voor de hand ligt? ERECON wijst op het potentieel om zeldzame aarden in Europa te winnen, onder meer in Zweden en Groenland. De ontginning zou er nog voor 2020 van start kunnen gaan. Ze zou de Europese vraag naar zeldzame aarden decennialang kunnen dekken. Europa beschikt ook over kobalthoudende ertsen in Griekenland, Cyprus en Macedonië. ‘Die zijn minder rijk en kunnen daardoor niet concurreren met kobalt uit Congo’, zegt Binnemans. ‘Dat kan veranderen als we bereid zouden zijn iets meer te betalen voor ons kobalt’.

    ‘In de huidige situatie kunnen we zonder overheidssteun geen nieuwe mijnen openen of de industrie voor de verwerking van de ertsen op poten zetten’, zegt Jones. ‘En dat is in strijd met de Europese regels rond vrije marktwerking. Terwijl één nieuwe mijn voor zeldzame aarden ons bevoorradingsprobleem in één klap zou oplossen. Als je ziet hoe andere landen zoals China, de Verenigde Staten en Japan wél effectief hun belangen beschermen, zijn we in Europa naïef.’

    Nieuwe mijnbouwprojecten maken weinig enthousiasme los. Niemand wil een mijn in zijn achtertuin. De Zweedse Nora Kärrmijn zou in haar eentje de Europese vraag naar zeldzame aarden voor de komende vijftig jaar kunnen dekken. Een petitie met 45.000 handtekeningen stak – voorlopig – een stokje voor de ontginning. ‘In West-Europa willen we schone technologie, maar we willen niet dat de metalen die daarvoor nodig zijn hier worden ontgonnen’, zegt Jones. ‘Laat ze dat maar in China of Congo doen. Zo wentelen we de milieu-impact af op het Zuiden. Sta mij toe dat hypocriet te noemen.’

    Volgens Jones moet het anders, en snel. ‘Als we de overgang naar een klimaatvriendelijke economie serieus nemen en minder afhankelijk willen zijn van de rest van de wereld, hebben we dringend nood aan beleid dat inzet op maximaal recyclen van kritieke metalen én verantwoorde mijnbouw in Europa.’

    NASA Finally Explains the Origin of the Apocalyptic Noise Heard from the Skies

    Several days ago, we released the story about the spooky trumpet sound heard in different nations all over the world. The unusual sounds which supposedly came in the heavens played once again, but this time, the hair raising sound was heard last June 4th at around 3 P.M in Batangas, Philippines.

    Although it’s quite funny the occurrence received minimal hoopla until this year, the odd sound were heard around in Germany, Russia, Australia, Usa, Canada, and in other components of the world since it was recorded in 2008. Those who’ve heard the sound on video related the baffling sounds to the apocalyptic prophesy while others believe these are coming from UFOs and extraterrestrial beings said in the bible, and personally.

    View this video from Batangas:

    No one has described the source of the sound–until now, although some have doubted the credibility of the records.

    The National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) clarified that neither angels nor extraterrestrial beings have anything related to the occasion. The truth is, they said these sounds are but a natural phenomenon that happen on a regular basis.

    A representative from NASA who was quoted by a nearby US media said, We could really hear the typical tunes of symphony in the sound of unexpected thunderstorm coming from our planet, and no alien spaceship.”

    The sounds are not audible to human ears unless the volume is high. This background noise” that is “ is not dissimilar to what we hear from sci-fi movies, although this comes from ground.

    Weird winter water: Steaming lakes, thundersnow, slurpee waves

    An atmospheric scientist explains why water can do some strange-looking things at very cold temperatures, and what’s different about snowfalls on Mars.

    Editor’s note: Extreme cold weather can produce unusual phenomena, from so-called sea smoke to slushy ocean waves. As atmospheric scientist Scott Denning explains, these striking events are caused mainly by the behavior of water at very cold temperatures.

    Why do lake and ocean waters appear to steam during cold snaps?

    There are three phases, or states, of water: solid ice, liquid water and gaseous water vapor. Even in extremely cold weather, liquid water can’t be colder than the freezing point – about 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees C) – so the surface of the ocean is much warmer than the air above it.

    A lot of water evaporates from the warmer ocean into the colder dry air above. As soon as this invisible gas rises even just a little bit above the relatively warm water, it hits air that is much colder and can’t hold much vapor, so the vapor condenses into microscopic droplets of liquid water in the air.

    Some people call the wispy clouds caused by condensation just above the winter ocean or lakes sea smoke. That’s a better term than steam. Real steam is very hot water vapor – that is, water in its gas phase, which is invisible.

    Weather watchers seem to get very excited about thundersnow. What is it and why is it rare?

    Thunder is a sonic boom created when a lightning bolt causes the air to expand faster than the speed of sound. Lightning is formed by sparks of static electricity between the clouds and ground. The friction that forms this static is usually caused by rapidly rising thermals of buoyant air on hot summer days, which is why thunderstorms are common in summer.

    Air can’t rise from the cold winter ground because cold air is dense, so thunder in winter is pretty unusual. Thundersnow happens when really cold air blows in from up north. This cold air is denser than the air at the surface, so it literally falls down, pushing surface air up over the top of it. This can create exactly the same kind of static charge as a summer thunderstorm, and BOOM – thundersnow! This only happens with a really dramatic change in temperature, such as the approach of an Arctic cold front.

    Thundersnow episodes in New England, March 8, 2018.

    How common is it for the oceans to freeze outside of the polar regions?

    Saltwater has a lower freezing point than fresh water, which is why we put salt on our streets and sidewalks to melt ice in winter. Seawater is salty enough that it has to get really cold to freeze – around 28 F (-2.2 degrees C). It’s pretty unusual for seawater to freeze in the continental United States, though it happens all the time in the Arctic winter.

    When seawater freezes, most of its salt is pushed down into the ocean water underneath it. This is why people in the Arctic can melt sea ice for drinking water. As little bits of freshwater ice form at the ocean’s surface, the remaining water gets saltier and saltier, so it gets harder and harder for it to freeze.

    But sometimes when it’s been extremely cold, little ice floes form at the surface of the ocean. Waves break them up, so that the surface can become like a wavy slurpee. For anyone willing to brave the cold, it’s wild to stand by the shore and watch the smoking slushy sea with its slow-motion surf. At the poles, it’s so cold that floating ice crystals eventually converge and solidify into sea ice.

    Scientists have found that Mars has snowfalls too. How are they different from snow on Earth?

    The atmosphere on Mars is nearly pure carbon dioxide, which we know as the main greenhouse gas that’s driving climate change here on Earth. But Mars’ atmosphere is much thinner than ours, so it doesn’t trap much heat. On a nice Martian summer day, temperatures can reach 70 degrees F (21 degrees C) and then fall to -100 degrees F (-73 degrees C) the same night.

    Winters are even colder there. It gets so cold in polar winters on Mars that the air itself freezes, making tiny carbon dioxide snowflakes the size of red blood cells, which pile deep enough to make polar caps of dry ice.

    Red-brown abstract shapes on flat gray background.

    During the long polar night, around 1/3 of Mars’ entire atmosphere falls as snow. This makes a partial vacuum, sucking the winds from the planet’s summer hemisphere to its winter hemisphere to make up the difference. In spring, these planet-scale winds reverse direction as the dry ice turns back to gas and starts to fall out on the other end of Mars.

    Further out in the solar system, the “ice giant” planets and many of their moons have huge amounts of water and carbon dioxide ice – much larger quantities than all of our oceans. But on Earth, dry ice can’t form above -110 degrees F (-79 degrees C). So there will never be carbon dioxide snow on our planet – just frozen water in all of its many forms.

    USS Enterprise

    Star Trek’s USS Enterprise Spotted Above California During Secretive Spy Drills

    These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before!

    If only we knew what was the true mission of the “USS Enterprise” spotted above California this week. One of the most mysterious aircraft in the world, a U-2 Dragon Lady, was seen flying above California last week broadcasting the call sign NCC-1701A – the same registry as the legendary USS Enterprisefrom the Star Trek franchise. The U-2 spy plane took off from Beale Air Force Base in Northern California on January 30th then flew a trapezoidal pattern above Northern California for four hours, crossing into Nevada at one point before circling back. Beale Air Force Base is home to the USAF’s 9th Reconnaissance Wing which conducts high-altitude surveillance and intelligence missions in support of combat forces.

    A U-2 Dragon Lady

    A U-2 Dragon Lady. Not exactly a Constitution-class starship but still very impressive.

    What was the plane doing up there, and why was it broadcasting such an iconic, conspicuous call sign? In all likelihood it was merely a test flight or basic exercise and the call sign was someone’s way of making their work day slightly more interesting. However, it could very well be that the plane was conducting reconnaissance ahead of a mysterious and slightly unnerving special operations exercise which took place in California this week.

    The U.S. Armed Forces are currently conducting urban operations drills in Los Angeles and Long Beach known as Emerald Warrior/Emerald Trident. The operations have seen military helicopters conducting mock raids in densely populated urban environments and all manners of spy planes circling overhead conducting electronic and visual surveillance of the ground below. Videos posted to social media show MH-6 Little Bird helicopters landing on L.A. rooftops to pick up and drop off special operators. Curiously, the public and LAPD were not notified of the operation until moments before the first helicopters started landing.

    As aviation watchdog blogs have noted, those exercises have seen some of the American military’s most advanced and secretive spy planes fly curious circular routes above California. Again, it’s highly likely these are all just part of the Emerald Warrior/Emerald Trident drills, but I’m left to wonder why the military would risk conducting drills in such densely populated areas where the risk of harming civilians is so high. Is there something to these secretive operations the military isn’t telling us? Probably not, although how can we know for sure?

    NASA probes ANTARCTICA ANOMALY sparking shock ancient FROZEN CITY claim

    NASA investigated a strange anomaly below the ice of Antarctica, which could also reveal an ancient civilisation, a bombshell documentary claimed.

    Lake Vostok is the largest of Antarctica’s subglacial lakes, located to the east of the icy continent and beneath Russia’s Vostok Station. The surface of this freshwater lake is approximately 4,000m under the ice, which places it at approximately 500m below sea level. In 2012, a team successfully drilled through the ice to get to the lake and locate more than 3,500 species of life.

    However, there was one strange thing they could not explain. 

    A bizarre magnetic anomaly on the east coast of the lake spanning 65 miles long and 47 miles wide was discovered, it was revealed during a documentary.

    YouTube series “The Real Secrets Hidden in Antarctica” explained how the find was made.

    The 2017 documentary detailed: “The Russians at Vostok station confirmed the discovery of a huge freshwater lake miles below the ice.

    “They successfully drilled through and found active biological samples of living bacteria, dating back almost 15 million years. 

    “Scientists claim they have found more than 35,000 life forms as well as rich fossil evidence. 

    “But there was also a huge magnetic anomaly.

    “Scientist think this may be due to the Earth’s crust thinning, but it may also signify a lost city hidden below the lake.”

    Now NASA is interested in studying the area in order to get a better understanding of Europa – Jupiter’s icy moon. 

    Kevin Hand, deputy chief scientist of solar system exploration for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told SPACE.com previously: "When it comes to Europa, there's no better analogy on Earth than Lake Vostok.

    “In both cases, the liquid water envelope trapped beneath the ice is cut off from the sun.”

    Samples of ice from the top of the lake revealed that iron and sulphur play a significant role in its ecosystem.

    Dr Hand added: “The surface chemistry of Europa is riddled with sulphur.

    "Chances are that sulphur is going to be an important component for how that ecosystem survives."

    The discovery of life below the surface of Antarctica by the Russian team gives NASA an idea of what could develop on Europa.

    Ten Earthquakes Strike the Coast of Northern California in Less Than 24 Hours | Is the “Big One” Coming?

    Ten earthquakes of preliminary magnitudes between 3.0 and 4.5 struck off the coast of Northern California between Saturday and Sunday, the United States Geological Survey reports.

    The series of earthquakes rumbled beneath the Pacific Ocean, between 3 miles and 27 miles west of Petrolia in Humboldt County.

    The first earthquake struck early Saturday morning at a magnitude of 4.3, while a second earthquake, of 3.2 magnitude, rumbled about 30 minutes later. Three additional earthquakes hit between 4:30 p.m. and 5:38 p.m. Saturday in the same area, registering magnitudes between 2.9 and 3.6, USGS reported. A 3.0-magnitude earthquake struck that night, at 11:37 p.m.

    The geological activity continued into Sunday. USGS reported four earthquakes near Petrolia between 2:18 p.m. and 4:05 p.m. The earthquakes ranged in magnitude from 3.4 to 4.5.

    More than 240 people, from Mendocino to McKinleyville, said they felt the 4.5-magnitude earthquake that struck Sunday at 2:18 p.m., according to the USGS’s online “Felt Report” page.

    There was no initial word on damage or injury resulting from the quakes. The National Weather Service office in Eureka said Sunday afternoon there was no tsunami danger.

    If you live in California, you’ll know the Big One is coming: 

    a powerful earthquake of up to magnitude eight is headed for the state. Energy has been building up along the San Andreas Fault for more than a century. No-one knows exactly when or where, but that one day that energy will be unleashed.

    It might strike at the heart of San Francisco, last devastated by a Big One in 1906. Or maybe it will tear through southern California like the magnitude 7.9 quake that hit in 1857 and ruptured some 225 miles of the San Andreas Fault.

    More than 100 years on, it’s hard to predict exactly how hard the next Big One will hit. John Vidale, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center and affiliate professor at the University of Washington, told Newsweek it won’t look like in the movies—cities won’t collapse into rubble and tsunamis probably won’t sweep through California. But without adequate preparations, the Big One could “cripple” the finances of a state that just became the fifth largest economy in the world.

    What exactly is a “Big One,” and where could such an earthquake hit?

    A tectonic boundary between the North American and the Pacific plates cuts through California. It’s a big fault where the two sides are moving three or four centimeters a year sideways. Strain builds up for one or two hundred years along that boundary, and then finally that strain becomes so great that the fault can’t take it anymore. It breaks and moves 15 ft or so all at once, causing an earthquake.

    There’s three, four, five sections, to this fault—and many other faults running in parallel—but we worry about a Big One striking in the north or in the south of the San Andreas. There’s a part between north and south in central California that seems act like a buffer. There’s some chance a rupture could go end-to-end, but we think it’s either unlikely or that it just doesn’t happen.

    How often do these massive earthquakes hit?

    It’s every few hundred years. The earthquakes that have happened in the meantime are still devastating to a local area, but instead of magnitude eight, they’re more like magnitude seven. It’s a logarithmic scale, so an eight has about 30 times more energy than a magnitude seven.

    Don’t smaller quakes help to dissipate some of the energy that’s building up deep underground?

    Those little earthquakes let out only a tiny amount of energy compared to the big ones. It would take 10 magnitude seven earthquakes to let out the strain of a magnitude eight. We don’t have that many, so those little earthquakes hardly slow the big ones at all.

    Does that mean the next big one is inevitable?

    That’s right. When we look at the history of the fault, we can see these big earthquakes have happened many times over the last few thousand years, so yeah, it’s an inevitability. We just don’t know if it’s going to be now or two hundred years from now.

    What kind of impact would a northern or southern California Big One have?

    The impact of the northern big one would be tremendous—I mean the San Andreas runs right through San Francisco. It’s quite a lot closer to San Francisco than it is to Los Angeles.

    Downtown San Francisco is vulnerable—some of the oldest buildings survived the shaking back in 1906, but that doesn’t mean they’d be safe in the next earthquake by any means. Many of the buildings are built close to the fault and on kind of soft ground that might liquify.

    A southern Big One would likely strike a little further away from the heart of Los Angeles, so the impact might be smaller. On the other hand LA has a lot more stuff to break than San Francisco—a lot of it is pretty old. So I think the net expectation is similar north and south. The fault is further away in the South, but it’s also riper, more ready, to go than the one in the north.

    More generally, there’s a lot of disasters that come from the strong shaking of an earthquake. It would certainly cause landslides, and conceivably chemical spills. We’re also concerned about fires.

    What about tsunamis?

    Tsunamis aren’t a big worry here. For an earthquake to make a tsunami it would have to be offshore—not be on the main part of the San Andreas. The ground would move sideways, not so much vertically as in other places, and it’s hard to make a big wave moving sideways. But a lot of other things could happen.

    When the Tōhoku earthquake hit Japan in 2011, it caused a disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Are there are any nuclear reactors at risk from a Big One in California?

    Not around here—there’s one up by San Onofre but it’s been turned off. There’s been a lot of debate about nuclear reactors. Engineers argue they can make reactors safe, but there have been enough accidents over the years that for safety’s sake they are tending not to build them in most places anymore.

    If infrastructure doesn’t rebound, what effects will this have on California?

    It’s certainly in the realm of possibility that the earthquake causes something that cripples the economy for a long time. Nobody expected the Fukushima reactor to be a dominant problem in Japan’s 2011 earthquake, for example. There’s always a small chance of some very serious unexpected problems.

    It’s also possible that a big earthquake might have less effect than we expect. It’s just very hard to predict.

    The Big One is worrisome for the government because it disrupts a large area. But for individuals, the moderate-size earthquakes that are right under our feet are often the worst threat.

    Los Angeles, for example is filled with faults, and many of them could have a magnitude seven earthquake. A magnitude seven on a smaller fault might well do more damage than the Big One on the San Andreas. The Big One is only part of the danger here.

    Waarom het magnetische noorden zich almaar sneller (richting Rusland) verplaatst

    Waarom het magnetische noorden zich almaar sneller (richting Rusland) verplaatst

    Het magnetische noorden is de voorbije decennia zo snel verplaatst dat vroegere schattingen volgens wetenschappers niet meer volstaan voor een precieze navigatie. Daarom hebben ze, een jaar vroeger dan gepland, een update gegeven over de exacte locatie. Wat blijkt: het magnetische noorden schuift almaar meer op richting Rusland. Voor de complotdenkers: ene Vladimir Poetin heeft hier niets mee te maken.

    Volgens de wetenschappers verplaatst het magnetische noorden zich ongeveer 55 kilometer per jaar en werd de internationale datumgrens in 2017 overschreden. “Het noorden schuift op van het Canadese Noordpoolgebied naar het Russische Siberië.

    Maar waarom is die verplaatsing zo belangrijk voor ons? “Het kan problemen veroorzaken met de kompassen in onze smartphones en andere consumentenelektronica. Ook vliegtuigen en schepen vertrouwen deels op het magnetische noorden als navigatiemiddel”, aldus geofysicus en hoofdonderzoeker Arnaud Chulliat van de universiteit van Colorado. Gps-systemen worden niet beïnvloed omdat zijn werken op basis van satellietgegevens.

    Het Amerikaanse leger gebruikt het magnetische noorden voor navigatie en de namen van start- en landingsbanen voor vliegtuigen zijn gebaseerd op hun verhouding ten opzichte van het magnetische noorden. Als dat verandert, moeten ook de namen aangepast worden.

    Turbulentie

    Normaal gezien wordt de locatie van het magnetische noorden eens om de vijf jaar geüpdatet, maar door de snelle verschuiving zagen de wetenschappers zich genoodzaakt de aanpassing al een jaar vroeger dan gepland te doen.

    Sinds de eerste meting in 1831 is het magnetische noorden al ruim 2.300 kilometer opgeschoven richting Rusland. Sinds 2000 is de snelheid gestegen van ongeveer 15 kilometer naar ongeveer 55 kilometer per jaar. De oorzaak daarvoor is turbulentie in de buitenste kern van onze aarde. Daar bevindt zich een hete, vloeibare “oceaan” van ijzer en nikkel waarvan de beweging een elektrisch veld tot stand brengt. “Dat kunnen we magnetisch weer noemen”, aldus geofysicus Daniel Lathrop.

    Noord wordt zuid en andersom

    Opmerkelijk: het magnetische zuiden beweegt trager dan het noorden. Over het algemeen bekeken wordt het magnetische veld van de Aarde zwakker. Volgens experts zou het na verloop van tijd uiteindelijk zelfs omkeren en zal het magnetische noorden het zuiden worden en andersom. In de geschiedenis van de Aarde is dat al meermaals gebeurd, al was de laatste keer wel meer dan 780.000 jaar geleden. Wanneer de volgende “flip” staat te gebeuren, kunnen de experts niet exact zeggen. “Binnen een 1.000-tal jaar?”

    Why Is Nikola Tesla Literally Erased From History Books?

    Did Nikola Tesla’s Strange Obsession With UFOs, Antigravity and Aliens get him banned from History books? Did these crazy ideas get him banned from history? It seems that whenever someone talks about Nikola Tesla they wonder how did he go unnoticed in history books? Why was his legacy pushed out of society? And why is literally erased from history?

    WHY IS HIS LEGACY PUSHED OUT OF SOCIETY?

    Tesla was a man far ahead of his time, and his countless inventions are evidence that this man was, in fact, the most incredible inventor to ever live on Earth. If it weren’t for this man, things like smart phones, radio, remote controlled devices, etc… would be something completely unknown to us.

    But a part of these ‘conventional’ intentions, Tesla had quite a few that seem to have come straight out of a science fiction movie script. UFO’s, Antigravity and Alien beings were anything but unfamiliar for Tesla who even claimed to have contacted beings not from Earth while working on one of his projects.

    My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe, there is a core from which “We” obtain knowledge, strength, and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know it exists. – Nikola Tesla

    Tesla was onto great things, technologies that most scientists today cannot even imagine. In 1928, Tesla registered yet another patent: number 1,655,144: A flying machine that resembled both a helicopter and an airplane. Before his death, Tesla had developed the blueprints for the propulsion system of his aircraft. He called it “SPACE DRIVE” or the anti-electromagnetic field propulsion system. Interestingly, according to William R. Lyne in “Occult Ether Physics”, in a conference that Tesla had prepared for the Migrant Welfare Institute on May 12, 1938, he spoke about the Dynamic Theory of Gravity. Tesla had discovered the secrets for creating the perfect vehicle that could get people into space, was relatively cheap to build, and had a propulsion system that did not use fuel. Tesla had discovered a way to harness unlimited energy which he claims was located everywhere around us. It was our job to harness this energy, and Tesla knew how to do it.

    “I have worked out in all details and hope to give to the world very soon. It explains the causes of this force and the motions of heavenly bodies under its influence so satisfactorily that it will put an end to idle speculation and false conceptions, as that of curved space. Only the existence of a Weld of force can account for the motions of the bodies as observed, and its assumption dispenses with space curvature. All literature on this subject is futile and destined to oblivion. So are all attempts to explain the workings of the universe without recognizing the existence of the ether and the indispensable function it plays in the phenomena.”

    Tesla discovered that the electrostatic emission surface of a conductor will always concentrate where the surface is curved, or where it has an edge. While steeper the curve, or corner, the higher the concentration of electron emission is. Tesla also noted that an electrostatic charge will flow over the surface of a conductor rather than penetrate it. This is referred to as the Faraday Effect or skin effect discovered by Michael Faraday.

    This also explains the principles of the Faraday cage, which is used in high voltage research laboratories to protect humans and the electro-sensitive equipment from damage.

    According to UFO reports, the inside of these “vehicles” is composed of circular channels or columns which go through the center of the craft. These serve, as a superstructure for the rest of the disk-shaped object and carry a high voltage and a high-frequency coil. It is believed to be a resonant transformer which gives electrostatic and electromagnetic load to the craft and its polarity. The coil inside the craft is what we know today as a Tesla Coil invented by Nikola Tesla in 1891.

    Nikola Tesla said: “There is a difference between progress and technology, progress benefits mankind. Technology does not necessarily do that.”

    ALIENS, TESLA, AND THE FIRST MAN-MADE FLYING SAUCER

    One night, when he was alone in the laboratory, Tesla observed what he cautiously referred to as electrical actions which definitely appeared to be intelligent signals. The changes were taking place periodically and with such a clear suggestion of number and order that they could not be traced to any cause then known to him.

    This incident was the first of many in which Tesla intercepted what he felt were intelligent signals from space. At the time, it was surmised by prominent scientists that Mars would be a likely haven for intelligent life in our solar system, and Tesla at first thought these signals may be originating from the red planet.

    While in Colorado Springs, Tesla intercepted strange radio signals that spread through the media incredibly fast. Tesla observed unusual signals from his receiver; Tesla concluded that these signals might actually be signals that have originated somewhere in space. He mentioned these signals in a letter to reporter Julian Hawthorne at the Philadelphia North American on 8 December 1899 and in a December 1900 letter about possible discoveries in the new century to the Red Cross Society where he referred to messages “from another world” that read “1… 2… 3…”.

    But Tesla was not the only one who was able to intercept these mysterious signals. Guglielmo Marconi, 1st Marquis of Marconi, was an Italian inventor and electrical engineer, known for his pioneering work on long-distance radio transmission and for his development of Marconi’s law and a radio telegraph system. Guglielmo Marconi also intercepted signals originating from space a few years after Tesla; researchers have since claimed that Tesla and Marconi intercepted the same signals.

    THE PERFECT UFO: MADE BY TESLA

    The methods used in the design of the flying saucer matched the descriptions of those who claimed to have seen a from the UFO inside: with a discoidal capacitor with sufficient size to provide enough thrust to fly, while other small capacitors allowed to control the direction of the flying saucer, to which he added a gyroscopic stabilization system and an electric “drive” control. And if all of that isn’t enough, Tesla had more; the interior of the ship was equipped with flat screens and external video cameras for the pilot’s blind spots.

    Tesla’s UFO has eyes, and these were made of electro-optical lenses, arranged in quadrants, allowing the pilot to see everything. Screens and monitors are placed on a console where the browser can observe all areas around the vehicle, and Tesla’s incredible invention included magnifying lenses, which could have been used without changing positions. Basically, it is an incredibly well-designed aircraft, one that we could actually manage to build today. Or have we already built it? What happened to this invention? Why are we not flying into space with Tesla’s incredible invention?

    Unlikely Dinosaur Fossil Found In Antarctica

    Antarctica is a place with so much ice and snow that they seem to go on forever. Animals, such as seals and penguins, have adapted to the freezing cold temperatures. However, millions of years ago, it wasn’t the blistering cold and icy continent that it’s known for today. Around 250 million years ago, Antarctica was full of forests and rivers with various species wildlife living there, including reptiles. As a matter of fact, the temperature on the continent hardly ever dipped below the freezing mark.

    In addition to the nice weather and vast wildlife that thrived on the continent millions of years ago, a new species has been discovered that once lived there. Researchers uncovered the fossil of an iguana-sized reptile that was an early relative of the Antarctic dinosaurs. During a 2010-2011 expedition, the incomplete skeleton was taken from Graphite Peak in the Transantarctic Mountains. The fossil contained parts of its skull, backbone, and limbs.

    The small creature was said to have been a carnivore that ate bugs, amphibians, and other early mammal relatives. It has been named Antarctanax shackletoni which translates to “Antarctic king” (for Antarctanax) and in honor of the Antarctic explorer named Ernest Shackleton (for shackletoni).

    Dr. Brandon Peecook, who is the lead author of a study on the discovery as well as a paleontologist at Field Museum, said, “Antarctanax shackletoni was an archosaur, an early relative of crocodiles and dinosaurs.” He went on to say, “On its own, it just looks a little like a lizard, but evolutionarily, it’s one of the first members of that big group. It tells us how dinosaurs and their closest relatives evolved and spread.”

    Approximately two million years prior to the Antarctanax shackletoni roaming Antarctica, the Earth suffered a huge mass extinction which killed off 90% of all animals on the planet. After the mass extinction, archosaurs (which included dinosaurs) experienced a lot of growth around the planet. Dr. Peecook explained, “Before the mass extinction, archosaurs were only found around the equator, but after it, they were everywhere.” This would indicate that Antarctica was an area where evolution and diversity happened quite fast following the end-Permian mass extinction.

    This is an artist's illustration of Antarctica, 250 million years ago. The newly discovered fossil of a dinosaur relative, Antarctanax shackletoni, revealed that reptiles lived among the diverse wildlife in Antarctica after the mass extinction.

    The fossil as it was discovered.

    The fossil as it was discovered.

    While the exploration of the continent of Antarctica is still in its early stages, it’s very possible that more new and unique creatures will be discovered from millions of years ago. In relation to the process involved with exploring the continent, Dr. Peecook explained, “Antarctica is one of those places on Earth, like the bottom of the sea, where we’re still in the very early stages of exploration. Antarctanax is our little part of discovering the history of Antarctica.”

    Iran is disappearing underground: While Tehran is sinking, giant sinkholes swallow parts of western Iran

    Tehran is sinking… And now gigantic holes as deep as 60 meters (197 feet) are appearing in western Iran. And that’s not because of missiles or meteors… No, no! They are the result of excessive water pumping.

    A few weeks ago, new satellite measurements showed that Tehran was sinking about 10 inches (25 centimeters) per year.

    A side effect of such impressive subsidence is the sudden appearance of giant cracks and sinkholes in some areas that may end up with some parts of Iran completely disappearing from world maps.

    Metamaterials Not From Earth

    Metamaterials, in this context defined as pieces of UFOs, debris, implants or other exotic items have been a huge topic since they were referenced in the New York Times piece on December 16th, 2017 and long before that, as well. A lot of work has been done behind the scenes regarding these materials. Data and information will be coming to light via To the Stars Academy’s ADAM Research Project and most likely other groups. Some of the work has been described in Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka’s amazing book, “American Cosmic: UFOs Religion, Technology.” I can’t say for sure, but I have a hunch that behind the scenes, conclusions have been made about how these authentic Metamaterials were constructed in zero or microgravity and most likely not manufactured on Earth.

    Mr. George Knapp has been reporting on this for years. As a primer, here is one of his heavy hitting reports on the subject.

    Tom Delonge brought up the Metamaterials during his interview with Joe Rogan in 2017:

    Delonge: “…looking at debris that they probably still have in a warehouse, going ‘we have no f*****g clue how to make this or back engineer this stuff.’ I mean, there’s a piece of metal, from a crash that I’ve seen, and I’ve seen the science on it, and it’s so… it’s atomically aligned and it’s layered in like eighty layers within just a few microns of purities of metal that aren’t even in our solar system and they think it needs to be made in an area where there’s no gravity. So, number one, it has to be made in space. Number two, even if we were to create a machine that can potentially do some of this stuff, 3D printing layers of different metals of obscene purities, it would cost hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. We don’t even have that.”

    Rogan: “What did they think? That it was made without gravity?”

    Delonge: “Because I think it’s the atomic structure. So what happens is when you radiate it with Terahertz, it loses mass, something weird. It resonates some kind of harmonic, and then it gets lighter and if you hit it with enough terahertz it’ll float. So we’re going to be showing people this stuff. We’re going to be bringing out the hardware, some of the hardware. We’re going to be bringing out implants. We’re going to be bring out videos. We’re going to bringing out some other stuff.”

    Rogan: “So you are going to be showing people this actual piece of metal that was constructed in a zero gravity environment in space and if you hit it with enough energy it becomes weightless?”

    Delonge: “I wouldn’t say weightless, I don’t know if we can make enough energy to do that, but yes, that is our plan, and show the experiment.”

    Since Tom’s interview, not only was the New York Times article published, AATIP revealed, and military videos released, backing up some of his claims, but the ADAM Research Project was launched:

    In Dr. Diana Pasulka’s book it is stated:

    “James and Tyler believed they had evidence, not just faith, to support their belief in the extraterrestrial source of the artifacts and the authenticity of the crash site. Prior to this trip, Tyler had given James an analysis of some of the parts. James knew what he was looking at, and, according to him, if this analysis actually corresponded to the makeup of the artifacts, then they were one of two things: they were something that someone paid millions, if not billions, of dollars to fabricate or “something” made them somewhere other than on Earth with technologies we did not understand.”

    Dr. Pasulka also stated in her book:

    Pasulka Quote Graphic

    The quote was made into a graphic by James Iandoli of Engaging the Phenomenon and UFO News Network Sunday Livestream.

    James Iandoli reminded me of this classic presentation by Jacques Vallee. I won’t attempt to summarize this presentation.

    Vallee’s work is nothing less than historic.

    Here are slides from Drs Vallee and Nolan, as well. Submitted by Fredrik E.

    Dr. Hal Puthoff spoke about the Metamaterials in his speech at the Society for Scientific Exploration Conference in June, 2018.

    “So let me give you an example of, how this stuff helps people who are chasing these really difficult problems. I’m choosing one here: metamaterials for aerospace use. I’d love to talk about really fancy materials, but they’re classified. However, there’s a lot of materials that have been picked up or provided even in the public domain. I’m going to give an example because it shows exactly what the structure is for how to deal with this. This is an open source sample. It was sent anonymously to talk show host Art Bell. The fellow claimed to be in the military. He said that this sample was picked up in a crash retrieval, and so he sent it by email. So what does that mean? Chain of custody non-existent.  Provenance questionable.  Could be a hoax. Could be some slag off of some foundry floor or whatever. However, it was an unusual sample, so we decided to take a look at it.

    It was a multilayered bismuth and magnesium sample. Bismuth layers less than a human hair. Magnesium samples about ten-times the size of a human hair. Supposedly picked up in the crash retrieval of an Advanced Aerospace Vehicle. It looks like it’s been in a crash. The white lines are the bismuth; the darker areas are the magnesium separations. So the question was what about this material, so naturally we looked in all the national labs, we talked to metallurgists, we combed the entire structure of published papers. Nowhere could we find any evidence that anybody ever made one of these.

    Secondly, some attempts were made to try to reproduce this material, but they couldn’t get the bismuth and magnesium layers to bond.

    Thirdly, when we talked to people in the materials field who should know, they said we don’t know why anybody would want to make anything like this. It’s not obvious that it has any function.

    Well, years later, decades later actually, finally our own science moves along. We move into an area called metamaterials, and it turns out exactly this combination of materials at exactly those dimensions turn out to be an excellent microscopic waveguide for very high frequency electromagnetic radiation terahertz frequencies. So, the wavelength is 60 microns, which is a pretty small size. But it turns out because of the metamaterial aspect of this material, those bismuth layers that act as waveguides can be one twentieth the size of the wavelength, and usually when you make a waveguide it’s gotta be about the size of the wavelength. So, in fact this turned out to be a material that would propagate sub-wavelength waveguide effects. Why somebody wants to do that we still don’t know the answer to that.

    But anyway, it’s amazing we’ve gone through this and this is the kind of structure we go through a lot. You get a material sample with unusual characteristics to be evaluated, the method of manufacture is difficult to assess or reproduce, the purpose of the function is not readily apparent – as with our sample here, and then as our own technical knowledge moves forward we finally see a possible purpose or function comes to light. That sequence is repeated over and over in this particular area.”

    The transcript is from the Paradigm Research Group website.

    Frank Statler of UFO News Network Sunday wrote a thorough blog about MetaMaterials with astonishing comments from Dr. Garry Nolan. It’s not to be missed:

    Frank Statler: “Can you give us a little background on the nature of the recovered materials mentioned in the New York Times story?”

    Dr. Garry Nolan: These are not your grandma’s alloys. If these materials truly exist– they are going to be found to be metamaterials. Though I call them metamaterials– it’s really for lack of a better term. They are probably even more engineered and subtle than that. The science of metamaterials is only a few decades old, but there is a whole ecosystem of new journals growing up around their unexpected and wondrous properties. One way to think about metamaterials is that is, basically, quantum engineering—working with “normal” matter in a way that takes advantage of properties we don’t fully appreciate yet. We draw the physical universe with only 80 elements. I would guess—just hypothesis– that “they” (an advanced civilization) that we might infer can accomplish some of the feats observed by the pilots understand the subtleties of isotopes and design with all 253 stable isotopes. The metamaterials “they” could design would be more subtle and likely encompass a greater understanding of reality and physics than we know now.

    Remember, isotopes of a given element have the same electronic configuration, so they form covalent bonds similar to their sister isotopes (though with subtle differences in bond strengths). However, their nuclei have different spins for instance with, at times, unpaired neutrons. The various nuclear configurations gives rise to multiple fascinating opportunities in designing metamaterials. Want to know what your children should be studying in school? Physics, metallurgy, and advanced composite materials.

    People interested in understanding the reality of what’s going on with these metamaterials (so-called alloys) need to understand this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope . There are 253 isotopes that do not undergo radioactive decay in any reasonable time frame. This page has a table of nuclides where the grey boxes denote the 253 stable isotopes. Some elements, such as aluminum, have only 1 stable isotope. Titanium and nickel each have 5 stable isotopes. Tin (Sn) has eight! There are natural ratios of these isotopes that are largely governed by stellar decay processes, centrifugal forces (solar and other) during planetary formation, and proximity to gamma and other radiation sources. The ratios vary only slightly (maximum a couple percent) across a solar system. Significant variations in isotope ratios imply either engineering of the ratios for a purpose, or that the materials came from somewhere that does not “play by our rules”.

    My suspicion is that a foundational difference is the nuclear spin of these isotopes (and other quantum features associated with different arrangements of the nuclear shells in the different isotopes) that affects how they behave/contribute in these composites or metamaterial structures.

    We use a lot of these isotopes in my lab at Stanford — —purely as tags in biology experiments. We don’t come close to using them in the way I am suggesting above. 

    The Times claimed that Bigelow Aerospace, under the contract of AAWSAP housed Metamaterials in their Las Vegas facility. We later found out that might not be the case, or the whole picture, but it’s my opinion that NIDS, BAASS and/or Bigelow Aerospace did in fact possess these samples.

    Here is a statement from Robert Bigelow himself, almost exactly nineteen years ago to the date:

    Non-Terrestrial Permutations and Impacts
    as Related to Access and Use of Terrestrial Resources

    Robert Bigelow

    January, 2000

    In a round about way, I recently experienced a personal revelation. For the last several months I have been thinking of ways to enhance various business plans related to commercialization of space. These involve transportation systems and economically justifiable destinations.

    Naturally, what you can do or produce on an orbiting system that creates special or unique value becomes very, very important for the business case. While reading and talking on this subject, I reinforced what I previously knew a little but not nearly enough; and, that was that many unique and  often profoundly special reactions occur upon organic and non-organic substances in a microgravity environment that happen nowhere else. We all know of the usual cast of characters but, I’m talking about ones you normally don’t read about.

    As it turns out in processes affecting non-organic substances for example, it is possible to create materials, components and products that are totally in a class by themselves. Nowhere, terrestrially, can any of these items with their unique performance capabilities be made. I’m getting closer to my revelation. What is the implication here? Well, I believe that components for advanced spacecraft can be manufactured in a microgravity environment that cannot be duplicated on the surface of a planet.

    And now here is my theory. I strongly believe that at least some UFOs owe their beginnings to being manufactured whole or in substantial part from materials made in a microgravity environment. Competitively, we might well be working with a periodic table containing much fewer elements compared to a species that has access to those same elements but has fully achieved manufacturing and experimentation in space on a significant scale.

    I believe, so long as a species remains planet-bound in their manufacturing processes, they will not avail themselves of the resource necessary to make interstellar craft. They will only develop what terrestrial processes allow.

    As for our UFO friends, we will not begin to match their early craft until we also begin to exploit space for manufacturing purposes.

    Thank you.

    Robert T. Bigelow

    Mr. George Knapp gave an update on Robert Bigelow’s progress during an interview with Phenomenon Radio in 2018. I would recommend listening to the entire interview, it is a blockbuster.

    Linda Moulton Howe: “George do you think that Robert Bigelow’s blow-up units going to Mars, going to the moon, out to the lagrange points… that he, Robert Bigelow, through what he is manufacturing to be placed in these exoplanetary systems, that he will finally start? Have you ever talked with him about his learning more from deeper inside, the… we’ll call it the deep state, that is now bandied about so much?”

    George Knapp: “Well, I most certainly have talked to him, at length, over many years about exactly that. I think that, I’d have to say that those conversations for now are private and when…I’ve tried to get the the okay to go forward on some of that, but our agreement was it would remain private. I think he has been… his understanding of it has greatly expanded in the last several years. His total focus now is on his space program, but I think that you’re on the right track there and asking whether the expandable habitats could be part of the mystery, part of getting to the bottom of it. And I’ll tell you how. It’s the Metamaterials that we have discussed. You know Hal Puthoff and Eric Davis and others are trying to figure out what those things are and how they work and why they would be so important to the kind of magical propulsion systems that we’ve seen on the videos that have come out of the Pentagon. I think one conclusion that has been reached is that these things were made somewhere else. That we can’t manufacture these things on earth, not using our current technology. The possibility is, and even maybe the likelihood is, they were created in in zero gravity. You need zero gravity to make them. Well, we don’t have any manufacturing facilities in space, so whoever made them, it’s not us. So maybe if we do have habitats, and a permanent presence in space, and larger and larger space stations, that eventually we’ll be able to make this kind of stuff ourselves in zero gravity. We can’t do it now, but Bob Bigelow, the central focus of his life is creating platforms where we might be able to do it someday.”

    I spoke to one of the elite researchers in the field, Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell, about the Metamaterials. He was gracious enough to submit these exclusive comments that sum up the article eloquently. To follow Jeremy’s groundbreaking work visit ExtraordinaryBeliefs.com.  I can’t thank him enough.

    “On my journey as a filmmaker to grasp the UFO problem from a technological point of view, it’s my understanding that the current state of material science is the nagging barrier to our development.

    The Earthy replication of exotic and seemingly “non-terrestrial” technologies – observed by military and civilians alike – is hindered by the physical materials we are capable of fabricating or procuring.

    Metamaterials certainly represent fabricated technologies that provide new opportunities, unseen by humanity before. A simple example would be the super-superconductivity and strength of Graphene. A not-so-simple example might be on the horizon.

    The concept of a micro-gravity production environment – as championed by Robert Bigelow and reported on by George Knapp – is one single aspect of a much larger push to unravel the physical blockades preventing us from utilizing an exotic physics that we are just starting to understand.

    I suspect that with each leap in the development of our material science, we will discover new ways of accessing the fundamental nature of the physical universe. And that with each discovery will be a new vista – a plateau to view our past ignorance from. What today seems like magic, will seem commonplace tomorrow. We will quickly take for granted the discoveries of our ancestors with an irreverence – and with a hunger for the future.

    Ultimately there might be a singular breakthrough-technology that forever launches us from the shores of the past. However, it might not be quite that dramatic.

    As long as we continue to explore the physical mystery of the UFO and the Un-Funded Opportunities (as Ben Rich would say)… I imagine we will get there – in time.

    And we are indeed exploring UFOs – currently – in every branch of the United States military and intelligence networks. We have seasoned programs attempting to tackle every aspect of the problem.

    Maybe physical materials is the next to be revealed. And maybe it will be the Pandora’s Box that some are hoping for.

    With curiosity comes discovery; and with discovery comes greater curiosity.

    I am optimistic that time will tell.”

    Did Dinosaurs Coexist with Humans? Yes, and here are the proofs (2019)

    There are many examples of petroglyphs, rock paintings and figurines in which dinosaurs are represented alongside men.

    Even when there is only a rock painting or petroglyph depicting a dinosaur, without being next to him represented a humanoid, it is clear that the job was accomplished by a man or a humanoid.

    The figurines were tested with Carbon 14 testify antiquity of 6500 years old.

    In the Ica stones, we have many examples of gliptolitic men alongside dinosaurs.

    NASA Discovers Huge, Mysterious Void Forming Below Antarctica

    Let’s face it: Antarctica may as well be another planet. While there are theories that the continent may have once been home to long-lost civilizations, we only know for a fact that humans have been exploring Antarctica since the late 19th century. We’ve barely even scratched the surface of an entire continent. Who knows what may lie frozen in the icy wastes of Earth’s most mysterious landmass?

    NASA scientists may soon unlock those mysteries – although we probably won’t like what we find. Unless it’s Atlantis. Or the ancient wreck of an alien spacecraft containing a shapeshifting parasitic creature that may or may not take up residence inside Kurt Russell. Whatever is down there, scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory want to find it. JPL nerds have been studying the frozen southernmost continent with specially designed radar satellites since 2010 and have now announced the discovery of a mysterious, giant cavity opening up beneath the continent. Just the thing the world needs!

    Mountains and canyons discovered in Antarctica

    In a press release, JPL scientists say the cavity was discovered under Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica. The mysterious void is two-thirds the size of Manhattan and is over 1,000 feet (300 meters tall) – much larger than any other known cavities. If the void continues to grow, it could allow more heat and water to accumulate under the Thwaites Glacier, accelerating ice melt to the point where sea levels could rise by 2 feet or 65 centimeters. The Thwaites Glacier plays an important role in holding other neighboring ice masses in place, so if it melts or falls into the sea, there could be devastating consequences for everyone on Earth. Yikes.

    Flooded house

    While JPL is focused more on how the cavity is related to ice melts and other effects of global warming, I’m more interested in the less inevitably apocalyptic side of this story: what might we find inside this cavity if we could somehow explore it? After all, Antarctica has recently been the site of all manner of unexpected and mysterious developments lately including the recent surprising discovery of unknown organisms lying at the bottom of an ancient unexplored underground lake. What secrets could this void be hiding?

    Jose Canseco Talks About Aliens and Time Travel

    Jose Canseco is at it again. No, the former Oakland Athletics star is not attempting a comeback at baseball nor mixed martial arts, nor is he dipping into the steroids bag again. Jose is back to tweeting about aliens of the space kind and has now added a new twist – his theories on time travel that he claims were given to him by extraterrestrials. Is this for rel or is he trying to get an invitation to compete on Dancing With The Stars?

    “We are in communication with aliens with a very flexible body composition called the AI51”

    That was Canseco’s first of a series of tweets on January 30th about aliens. It’s not clear what “AI51” is, although it’s possibly a combined abbreviation of ‘Artificial Intelligence, Area 51’, but searches come up with nothing on aliens with that name regardless of body composition. Is this a new classification?

    “These aliens are going to teach us how to try and travel the brain can physically travel without the body.”

    Hmm. Is he alluding to time travel via astral projection? Is he communicating directly with these aliens or does Jose have access to some secret government files?

    “Aliens have been trying to teach us how to time travel but first we have to change our body composition which we are not willing to do we have tried with animals and it has failed.”

    Sounds like Jose just watched The Island of Dr. Moreau. Or is he privy to secret cloning and genetic experiments going on in China?

    “Time travel puts 42,651 pounds of pressure on a human skeletal structure…. can you detach the brain from the body and equalize the pressure it could be done”

    Where did that figure come from? Some scientists say the maximum pressure a human can endure is 70 times normal atmospheric pressure or 1029 pounds per square inch. Is that what you’re talking about, Jose? And isn’t the brain part of the body? How can pressure on the brain alone be equalized? What kind of science is this?

    “Our science is totally irrelevant to aliens”

    Oh, well that explains it … not! At least it explains why these “aliens” are communicating with Jose Canseco and not Neil deGrasse Tyson. Or perhaps they’re fans of the 1980s Oakland Athletics and the “Bash Brothers” – Canseco and Mark McGwire, the team’s steroid-infused home run tandem. Or could it be that Canseco has dealt with them before?

    “Jose we do not want you to run for president. You’re destined for much greater things in the battle against the androids and the alien masters. Elements of the United States government are compromised by the androids and aliens, they are deeply in at all levels, cannot trust.”

    Jose’s time machine?

    In December 2018, Canseco tweeted that he was considering running for president and @YabaiKankei begged him to stay where he’s at – wherever that is – and battle the aliens in the government from there. Why would @YabaiKankei know that Canseco was fighting against aliens?

    “Some aliens deleted my acc.”

    In 2012, Canseco disappeared from Twitter for a time and revealed why when he returned. Or did he?

    “I actually died over night and came back to life now I am a vampire and you are my apprentice”

    Died and came back? Was he dabbling in time travel in 2012? And why is he complicating things by throwing in vampires?

    “When I died I saw Elvis and micheal they said hello”

    OK, Jose. We skeptics need more clarification. Let’s hope the aliens don’t take away his Twitter account again before Canseco can explain more about time travel, aliens, vampires, Elvis and Michael.

    Navy Seal Reveals Secret Mission to Ancient Buried Structure in Antarctica

    On January 23, Emmy award winning journalist, Linda Moulton Howe, released the video testimony of a new whistleblower discussing his highly classified mission to a large buried structure found in Antarctica. The whistleblower claims that in a classified mission conducted in 2003, he entered inside a very large octagon-shaped structure located near the Beardmore Glacier that extended down deep into the glacier’s icy interior.

    The whistleblower is a retired U.S. Navy Seal who was first interviewed by Howe on July 19, 2018. He used the pseudonym Spartan 1 in Howe’s YouTube video where his face is shadowed out and his voice is altered to protect his identity. Howe says that she personally vetted Spartan 1, who provided ample documentation to substantiate his military career.

    Previously, Howe has released the testimony of another military whistleblower, Brian, who was a Navy flight engineer who had flown numerous support missions with the Antarctic Development Squadron from 1983 to 1997. He witnessed a number of anomalies pointing to hidden facilities or bases located deep under the Antarctic ice sheets. He says he witnessed silver flying discs over the Transantarctic Mountains, not all that far, as Howe pointed out, from where the Navy Seal had conducted his mission.

    The Navy Seal says that ground penetrating radar had discovered the structure which was an eight-sided octagon, as Howe elaborated:

    In 2003, a U.S. Navy Seal Special Operation team traveled to Antarctica to investigate a perfectly geometric 8-sided octagon structure discovered by ground penetrating radar near Beardmore Glacier, about 93 miles from the American McMurdo Station.

    Another previous team of engineers and scientists had dug out the top layer of one octagon made of a pure black substance that was built on top of two more black octagonal structures that went down deep into the 2-mile-thick ice.

    In the video the Navy Seal (aka Spartan 1) described the launch of his mission from an aircraft carrier voyaging near West Antarctica’s Ross Sea. He was taken by helicopter to McMurdo station, the largest U.S. base in Antarctica, and then taken by ground transport to the structure’s location.

    Spartan 1 described entering a doorway approximately 50 feet under the ice. He estimated the walls of the structure as about 18 to 30 feet thick (6-10 meters) and the ceiling height at around 22-28 feet (7-9 meters). He said that the walls, ceiling and floor were made of a black basalt material that looked like shiny black marble.

    The interior was heated to around 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit (20-22 Celsius), and was also lighted by a lime green source projected from the ceiling and floor. He did not see any heating or lighting equipment, which added to the mystery of the buried structure.

    Only part of the structure, he stated, has been uncovered so far by the archeological teams, with the rest buried under the ice and extending far below. Ground penetrating radar had shown the structure to be an Octagon in shape, and covering an area of 62 acres (about 0.5 square kilometers).

    Spartan 1 described the walls and doors as being covered by hieroglyphs that were about eight inches (20 cm) high and about two inches (5 cm) deep. The hieroglyphs were neither Egyptian nor Mayan, but appeared similar to both in terms of depicting animals and other strange symbols.

    Egyptian and Mayan Hieroglyphics.

    Sources: Wikipedia Commons

    Significantly, one of the symbols was very similar to the Black Sun image used by the Nazi SS, who had a large version of it built on the floor of their headquarters at Wewelsburg Castle. The Black Sun image continues to be banned in Germany under their Nazi propaganda law. Howe said future episodes featuring Spartan 1 will return to the Black Sun symbol.

    Black Sun symbol Wewelsburg Castle

    Spartan 1 explained that part of his mission was to transport scientists who would document the buried structure and the hieroglyphic symbols, by taking photos and making drawings. He said that his team had to leave one of the scientists behind who insisted that more time was needed to do a proper inventory of what was discovered.

    Spartan 1 was told and believed that the structure had been built by a human looking group of extraterrestrials, who were involved in the genetic engineering of humanity.

    Spartan 1’s testimony is very significant since it provides a rare eyewitness account of what is actually inside one of the buried structures whose age stretches back into antiquity. Howe’s previous Antarctica eyewitness, Brian, did not actually get to see or go inside one of the artifacts. The closest he got was when he saw a large hole going deep inside the South Pole, while flying overhead through restricted airspace.

    To date, only two other whistleblowers/insiders have come forward to share their accounts of being taken inside or witnessing the ancient artifacts buried deep under Antarctica’s ice sheets. These are Corey Goode and Pete Peterson who both say they witnessed some of the buried artifacts during their respective visits there.

    Goode claims to have been taken to Antarctica in early 2016 and 2017, where he saw secret bases and the remains of an ancient civilization buried deep below the ice sheets. He says he witnessed some bodies of human alien hybrids who were part of the genetic experiments conducted by a tall human looking extraterrestrial race thousands of years ago. He described three very large motherships buried under the ice that were used to start a global civilization with Antarctica as a hub.

    Peterson says that he was taken to Antarctica during classified missions where he was tasked with the job of understanding the advanced technologies found near three motherships, one or more of which he witnessed during his missions. Peterson’s testimony corroborates Goode’s account of an ancient extraterrestrial base that was used as a hub for a global civilization.

    This raises some intriguing questions. Was the Black Sun symbol a pictorial representation of an ancient global civilization where the South Pole was the hub with spirals going out to its distant colonies? In the book, Antarctica’s Hidden History, I present evidence that German nationalists using the black sun symbol established a colony in Antarctica, where they built spacecraft for deep space colonization.

    According to Howe’s analysis, the structure witnessed by Spartan 1 dates as far back as 33 million years, which is the general date conventional geologists give for when Antarctica was last ice free. In Antarctica’s Hidden History, contrary evidence is presented that Antarctica was ice free as recently as 11,700 years  ago, which is the approximate date for the destruction of Atlantis according to Plato. This raises the question, “how old are the ruins being currently discovered in Antarctica?”

    Spartan 1’s independent testimony corroborates important elements of what Goode and Peterson described, and what others claim lies hidden under the frozen continent. As more of Spartan 1’s testimony is released through Howe’s video series, we may get important answers to questions about what lies hidden deep below the Antarctic ice sheets

    Scientists Engineer Chickens With Dinosaur Snouts

    VIA YALE 

    A team of researchers have reverted the beak structure of a chicken embryo back to its ancestral state—a time when dinosaurs roamed the land with snouts instead.

    "The beak is a crucial part of the avian feeding apparatus, and is the component of the avian skeleton that has perhaps diversified most extensively and most radically—consider flamingos, parrots, hawks, pelicans, and hummingbirds, among others," Bhart-Anjan S. Bhullar, lead author of the study published in the journal Evolutionexplained. "Yet little work has been done on what exactly a beak is, anatomically, and how it got that way either evolutionarily or developmentally."

    There are two different genes that a developing embryo needs in order to construct a bird skull with a beak. The team decided to see what happened when they repressed those genes. To do this, they used small-molecule inhibitors to block the beak genes. The effects were shocking.

    The beak structure of the chicken embryo returned to its ancestral anatomy, along with the palatine bone on the roof of the mouth. The skull of the chicken embryo developed a reptilian 'snout' instead of a beak. Two bones manifested themselves in this snout-like structure, which is reminiscent of the nose of a modern-day alligator. "This was unexpected and demonstrates the way in which a single, simple developmental mechanism can have wide-ranging and unexpected effects," Bhullar said.

    The skull of a chicken embryo ready to hatch has a beak (left), but when certain proteins are blocked (middle), it develops a reptilian 'snout' from two bones, rather like a modern-day alligator (right)

    via Bhart-Anjan Bhullar

    The chickens didn't actually develop snouts, per se, but changes to the actual embryo are noticeable: There is a little flap of skin covering the gene-altered chicken-embryos' would-be beaks.

    It must be noted that the genetically altered embryos were never hatched. "Our goal here was to understand the molecular underpinnings of an important evolutionary transition, not to create a 'dino-chicken' simply for the sake of it," said Bhullar.

    We are still far from identifying the genetic changes that are responsible for nature's first beaks, but identifying the genes involved is a great start. The team won't be building a zoo of little dino-chickens anytime soon. The purpose of this experiment was to examine the evolutionary pathways on a molecular level, not create a real-life Jurassic Park.
