Pieces Of A “UFO” Fell From The Sky And Landed In Remote Cambodian Village
Pieces Of A “UFO” Fell From The Sky And Landed In Remote Cambodian Village
Residents of a small, remote Cambodian village were woken up to quite an unusual – and somewhat dangerous – surprise last week when pieces of metal were seen raining from the sky. At the time of publication, officials are still stumped as to what could be the cause, leading some to believe extraterrestrial forces could be behind the incident.
In a statement sent to IFLScience, residents of Preah Vihear Province said they heard a loud sound around 6am local time. They ran outside to find dozens of pieces of aluminum weighing more than 40 kilograms (88 pounds) striking homes and causing damage across a 10-kilometer (6.2-mile) radius. Fortunately, nobody was injured.
''I heard a big noise in the morning. I was shocked and thought something bad had happened," said villager Sok Nol. “When I went to look there was one big piece in a field and other smaller pieces around. We thought an airplane had crashed but there was no big engine.”
Residents collected the wreckage and reported it to police, who were unable to identify where it came from. Yin Chamnan, police chief of Preah Vihear, confirmed that rubble had been recovered in the village, continuing that regional police have not been able to pinpoint where the pieces came from. The case will now be handed over to a team of specialists.
Altogether, 17 pieces of aluminum and rubber reportedly fell from the sky. Viral Press
''We have found more than 17 fallen fragments of aluminum and rubber. But, we are continuing the search and are collecting further information from the people at the scene,” he said.
It has some thinking something out-of-this-world could be responsible.
''Now I think that it has come from space and landed in our village. It's confusing because nobody knows what it is,” said Nol.
Chamnan, however, has a different explanation: ''Maybe these fragments are parts of a drone that someone flew. The parts were not relatively big,” he said.
Villages say they awoke to the sounds of metal dropping around 6 a.m. local time on October 25. Viral Press
It's estimated the fragments weighed around 40 kilograms (88 pounds).

The fallen fragments damaged buildings over a 10-kilometer (6.2-mile) radius. Fortunately, nobody was injured.
Joseph Mcmoneagle, one of the most successful Army-trained remote viewers, peered into the past to look into the possible origins of human history. He saw that we were created by intelligent beings in what he called a 'laboratory.'
Reflect On:
Why is the mainstream story of human history still limited to Darwin's Theory of Evolution? Why have so many discoveries, like giants, and life on other planets, been completely concealed and brushed off as a conspiracy theory?
The true origins of human history remain a mystery, but that’s not what mainstream academia would have us believe. Since Darwin, human evolution and ‘the survival of the fittest’ has been pushed on the population as some sort of scientific truth, despite the fact that it remains a theory with multiple loopholes and ‘missing links.’ If you question it, in some circumstances, you are almost considered a nut.
This continues to happen in many different fields of knowledge; when you question beliefs that have been ingrained for so long you get a harsh response, and in some cases, you’re liable to be fined, put in jail or at the very least you receive tremendous amounts of hate and censorship. What we don’t hear about is the fact that there are several hundred scientists, if not several thousand, who have spoken up against the scientific validity of the theory of evolution. I recently wrote an article about more than 500 scientists coming together to reject Darwin’s theory of evolution and explain why it’s not really valid at all.
Our DNA Originated Somewhere Else
Even one of the founding fathers of DNA, Francis Crick, believed that human DNA must have originated from somewhere else in the galaxy, whereby “organisms were deliberately transmitted to earth by intelligent beings on another planet.” You can read more about that here. I also recently wrote about a paper that was publishedby 33 scientists in the Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology Journal suggesting that the flourishing life during the Cambrian era (Cambrian Explosion) originated from the stars.
“With the rapidly increasing number of exoplanets that have been discovered in the habitable zones of long-lived red dwarf stars (Gillon et al., 2016), the prospects for genetic exchanges between life-bearing Earth-like planets cannot be ignored. ”(The study)
There is a great little blurb from Cosmos Magazine, one of the few outlets who is talking about the study.
Serious inquiry into the origins of human history are not encouraged in the mainstream. Yet as we dig a little on what’s being done, there is a lot to find out, with new theories and discoveries that seem to be popping up every single year. Modern day education is hardly keeping up with this, and in fact continues to promulgate old theories and notions that have long been disproven. As a result, nobody beyond ardent self-motivated researchers are learning about new developments or have any knowledge of these viewpoints.
Opening Our Minds
The suppression of the discoveries of giant humanoid skeletons falls directly into this category, though the secrecy that wraps up the Smithsonian is a topic for another article. Suffice it to say that successful cover-ups of information are possible in part due to the phenomenon of ‘cognitive dissonance’, which speaks to the extreme discomfort that a piece of information that disrupts the worldview you grew up with can have on you. Many of us have and do experience this, including myself. In today’s day and age, it’s important to practice overcoming the discomfort to keep an open mind.
Consider entertaining new ideas without necessarily accepting them, just give them a chance to swirl in your mind a bit. With new information constantly emerging at a rapid pace in all fields, an open mind is what serves us best. If we stay closed and refuse to even look at or acknowledge evidence that contradicts what we believe, we will never advance towards actual truth, and simply be caught up in an agnostic state while never really getting to the bottom of the questions that are naturally on our mind.
The StarGate Program
The StarGate program was co-founded by Russell Targ (watch his banned TED talk about ESP here), Hal Puthoff, who is now a member of the ‘To The Stars Academy’ with Tom Delonge, and other notable names who have worked on Deep Black Budget programs within the U.S. government. They are currently spearheading an effort to let the American public know that UFOs are real and that there is sufficient evidence to suggest that, as Louis Elizondo says, “we are not alone, whatever that means.”
The StarGate program investigated parapsychological phenomenon like remote viewing, telepathy, telekinesis, and clairvoyance. The program yielded high statistically significant results and was used multiple times for intelligence gathering purposes. A lot of interesting information came out of the literature that was declassified in 1995 after the program ran for more than two decades.
It was a complete mystery why the program was shut down: remote viewing, for example, which is the ability to describe the physical characteristics at a given location irrespective of distance, was found to be repeatable, even more than findings in the hard sciences, with a success rate of over 80 percent. Remote viewing was how the rings around Jupiter were actually discovered by Ingo Swann before NASA was able to measure them. You can read more about that here.
To summarize, over the years, the back-and-forth criticism of protocols, refinement of methods and successful replication of this type of remote viewing in independent laboratories has yielded considerable scientific evidence for the reality of the [remote viewing] phenomenon. Adding to the strength of these results was the discovery that a growing number of individuals could be found to demonstrate high-quality remote viewing, often to their own surprise. . . . The development of this capability at SRI has evolved to the point where visiting CIA personnel with no previous exposure to such concepts have performed well under controlled laboratory conditions.”(source)
The Breadth Of Remote Viewing
There are examples in the literature, from remote viewers looking at classified Russian technology during the cold-war era, locating a lost spy plane in Africa and the prediction of future events. Yes, along with remote viewing comes the ability to view into the past, and view into the future. Obviously, this gets tricky, especially if we look at quantum physics, which works in tandem with parapsychology. In quantum physics, experiments have also shown how what happened in the past can change the future, and what happens in the future can change the past, on a quantum scale. You can read more about that here.
There were multiple people working within the Remote Viewing Program, which was conducted at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in conjunction with multiple intelligence agencies, and one of them was Joseph Mcmoneagle. Many of these people, after decades in the program, continued on with their research and experimentation long after the program was declassified. Joseph was one of the most successful Army-trained remote viewers, and one of the original members of project Stargate. He was actually awarded the Legion of Merit for “producing crucial and vital intelligence unavailable from any other source” to the intelligence community.
The Origins Of Humanity
In 1983, McMoneagle worked with Robert A. Monroe, founder of the Monroe Institute in Faber, Virginia, which provided basic out-of-body orientation for many of the military remote viewers. There, he conducted a session seeking to discover the origin of humanity. As the late great author and researcher Jim Marrs points out in his best selling book Our Occulted History points out:
During the 129-minute session, he described a shoreline on what appeared to him to be a primitive Earth. He later estimated a time of about thirty million to fifty million years after the time of the dinosaurs. Cavorting on this shoreline was a large family of protohumans-hairy animals about four feet in height, walking upright and possessing eyes exhibiting a spark of intelligence despite a somewhat smaller cranial capacity. Two things surprised McMoneagle in this session. These creatures appeared to be aware of his psychic presence, and they did not originate at that location.
McMoneagle described his experience in his 1998 book, The Ultimate Time Machine:
This particular species of animal is put…specifically in that barrier place…called the meeting of the land and the sea…I also get the impression that they’re…ah…they were put there. They mysteriously appeared. They are not descended from an earlier species, they were put there (by a) seed ship…no, that’s not right. Keep wanting to say ship, but it’s not a ship. I keep seeing a…myself…I keep seeing…oh, hell, for lack of a better word, let’s call it a laboratory, where they are actually inventing these creatures. They are actually constructing animals from genes. Why would they be doing that? Can we do this yet…here and now? Like cutting up genes and then pasting them back together. You know, sort of like splicing plants…or grafting them, one to another…Interesting, it’s like they are building eggs by injecting stuff into them with a mixture of DNA or gene parts of pieces.
He described these creatures as delicate-looking aquiline-featured humanoids, unclothed, in possession of a prehensile tail and large “doe-like” eyes. They seemed to be using some sort of light that McMoneagle had a hard time describing, but eventually described it as a “grow light.”
Marrs got the impression that it was like someone tending to a garden, and planting seeds, but “there isn’t any concern about the seeds after they are planted…It’s simply like…well…put these seeds here and on to better and bigger business. No concern about backtracking and checking on the condition of the seeds. They can live or die, survive or perish.” The session ended with him moving closer in time and perceiving these beings growing in size and ability, eventually becoming herding humans.
The surveillance of and interference with humanity is documented in the lore of almost all civilizations that have roamed the planet. Although some have called this mere ‘interpretation,’ it reminds me of people referring to the confirmation of spiritual and metaphysical realms as a result of quantum physics. It is simply labelled as an interpretation due to the fact that it upsets so many belief systems and long-held preconceived ideas.
The Takeaway
The story of human history has a lot of holes. From the UFO extraterrestrial phenomena to the discovery of strange skeletal remains, to the rejection of Darwinism all the way to the existence of intelligence ancient civilizations like Atlantis, and others that thrived possibly millions of years ago, we are like, as author Graham Hancock coined, a species with amnesia. But perhaps we are starting to remember. Perhaps our only two explanations are incorrect, or perhaps they’re both correct, combined with other factors. The point is, what we’ve been told is not true, and the recognition of that fact will lead us on the path towards true discovery, and away from the concealment and manipulation of information and truth.
I’m not saying this is how humans are created, perhaps it is just some sort of glimpse into something much bigger that took place billions of years ago?
NASA fotografeert een perfect rechthoekige ijsberg
NASA fotografeert een perfect rechthoekige ijsberg
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Moeder Natuur kan een strak lijnenspel blijkbaar ook wel waarderen.
De prachtige foto is gemaakt tijdens NASA’s IceBridge-project. Tijdens dit onderzoeksproject worden de Antarctische en Arctische gebieden elk jaar vanuit de lucht geobserveerd. Door de beelden en metingen naast elkaar te leggen, kunnen we zien hoe de ijskappen, ijsplaten en zee-ijs zich door de jaren heen ontwikkelen.
From yesterday's #IceBridge flight: A tabular iceberg can be seen on the right, floating among sea ice just off of the Larsen C ice shelf. The iceberg's sharp angles and flat surface indicate that it probably recently calved from the ice shelf.
De rechthoekige ijsberg werd gekiekt tussen het zee-ijs dat voor de Larsen C-ijsplaat dobbert. Wellicht doet die ijsberg een belletje rinkelen? De ijsplaat haalde vorig jaar alle kranten, doordat deze een gigantische ijsberg baarde en in één klap 10% van zijn massa kwijtraakte. De scherpe randen van de ijsberg die nu voor de Larsen C-ijsplaat dobbert, wijzen erop dat deze eveneens – maar dan veel recenter – van de ijsplaat is losgekomen.
Afkalven IJsplaten zijn eigenlijk niets anders dan gletsjertongen die op het water drijven. Doordat de achterliggende gletsjer ijs richting zee duwt, zou je verwachten dat zo’n ijsplaat alleen maar groter wordt. De praktijk is echter anders; er ontstaan met name aan de rand van de ijsplaat – waar het ijs dun is – scheuren. En die scheuren monden uiteindelijk uit in het loskomen van ijsbergen. Bij ijsbergen denk je in eerste instantie misschien aan een hoge, onregelmatig gevormde berg ijs. Maar ijsbergen die loskomen van een platte ijsplaat zien er vanzelfsprekend heel anders uit: ze zijn plat. En vaak hebben ze ook redelijk rechte randen, omdat de scheuren die in een ijsplaat ontstaan vaak redelijk recht lopen. Maar de ijsberg die nu voor de Larsen C-ijsplaat is gespot, is – voor zover we dat op deze luchtfoto kunnen zien – wel heel strak afgekalfd.
Zo strak blijft de ijsberg niet; nu deze los is gekomen van de Larsen C-ijsplaat zijn alle randen blootgesteld aan wind en golvend water. Het lijkt dan ook een kwestie van tijd voor het strakke lijnenspel door die nietsontziende eroderende krachten wordt aangetast.
NASA’s historic 1969 Moon landing was an elaborate hoax prophesied nearly 500 years ago by French mystic Michel de Nostradamus, a conspiracy theorist has claimed.
As the federal agency at the forefront of exploring outer space, NASA winds up being the front door for all manner of alien conspiracies. And so every year, to find out what the miscreants at the space agency have been keeping from the good, honest people of America, we like to google the phrase “NASA hiding.”
2016 did not disappoint.
Aliens at the Space Station
Ever popular is the notion that the space agency manipulates the cameras aboard the International Space Station to prevent ufologists from identifying their quarry. This tired notion popped up again during 2016 when NASA cut a live video feed from the station in July.
Youtube user Streetcap1 captured the nefarious NASA activity in a video posted July 9. He noted that, just as a UFO appeared to enter the Earth’s atmosphere on the station feed, “the camera cut off when the UFO seemed to stop.” Suspicious!
NASA cut away from this UFO in an attempt to prevent us from knowing what’s out there.
(Streetcap1/YouTube)
We’re embarrassed to report that this video has been viewed approximately 4 million times, with likes outnumbering dislikes three-to-one. In reality, the station periodically passes out of range of the tracking and data relay Satellites that provide high bandwidth capacity for video, voice, and telemetry from the station to the ground. When this happens the cameras automatically switch to a pre-recorded video or other programming.
What is NASA hiding at the North Pole?
When it wasn’t busy obfuscating alien sightings aboard the International Space Station, NASA also worked in 2016 to cover up the strange world inside the North Pole. “NASA and the world’s governments are trying to… completely hide the fact that there is something at our North and South Poles,” a video by secureteam10 states. “And what they are hiding appears to be a massive entrance, or hole, to the inner Earth.”
Early satellite images clearly show a “giant hole” at the North Pole, right?
secureteam10/YouTube
The 13-minute video (2.3 million views) goes on to display a number of old images from early satellites that, in the words of the conspiracy theorists, find NASA “caught red handed attempting to hide” a giant opening at the North Pole. The gist of their argument is that these images support the “Hollow Earth Theory,” which apparently says there is an inner Earth, complete with land and a Sun of its own. Conspiracy theorists assert that explorers have seen the inner Earth first hand when flying over the pole.
The Hollow Earth exposé also showcases video from an ISS flyover of Antarctica, which abruptly ends as an astronaut closes the cupola’s protective shades. Mysterious, isn’t it? What boggles our mind is that the purveyors of this nonsense would rely on old satellite images of the poles when there are many, many great modern ones from satellites, including those in orbit above the poles.
This modern satellite image of the North Pole, alas, shows no giant hole.
When one looks at these images there are, alas, no holes revealing an inner paradise. Were such a polar maw to exist, we also wonder why the US South Pole Station hasn’t yet been swallowed.
Aliens on the Sun
The other major new revelation of what NASA hid in 2016 concerns an Earth-sized UFO near the Sun. According to some ufologists, NASA has deliberately used pixel glitches to hide alien spacecraft spotted in the agency’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) images. Other eminent UFO scholars argued that the cube-shaped image artifact itself is the alien spacecraft. Maybe even THE BORG.
Why would a giant UFO be lurking near the Sun? Do you really have to ask? “Its [sic] sucking away the suns [sic] Chromosphere (surface) and maybe the next layer of the Photosphere for some kind of energy that it needs for power,” the website UFO Sightings Daily declared. “Natures fuel [sic] for aliens, but it may be taking it to deliver to an alien world in e that plants are themselves aliens? Perhaps all will be revealed in the new year.
Le phénomène a été observé aux quatre coins de l'île ce samedi 27 octobre en début de soirée, aux alentours de 20h10. Plusieurs témoins ont parlé d'une sorte d'étoile filante qui serait passée d'ouest en est dans le ciel réunionnais. À Saint-Joseph, dans les hauts de Saint-Leu, à Saint-André, à Sainte-Marie, de nombreux témoins ont assisté au passage furtif de quelque chose dans le ciel. Les témoins décrivent une lumière jaune, orangée. La plupart d'entre eux a pensé à un météore car il y a environ un mois, un météore a bien traversé le ciel réunionnais. Mais cette fois, au vue de la vitesse, de la trajectoire et des couleurs du phénomène, des questions se posent...
Voici des images du phénomène, il n’a pas été aperçu qu’à La Réunion. À Rodrigues, il semble même plus proche, regardez :
Comme vous l’entendez sur les vidéos, les témoins du passage de cet OVNI (objet volant non identifié) sont assez dubitatifs. "C’est quoi çaaaa ? " L’hypothèse la plus crédible, c’est Actu Météo 974 qui la donne sur sa page Facebook : " L'hypothèse qui, pour l'instant tiendrait la route, serait la rentrée atmosphérique d'un morceau de fusée Falcon 9 lancée il y a environ 1 an. La trajectoire de ce débris spatial le faisait passer au-dessus des Mascareignes ce samedi vers 20h32."
C’est un certain Flavien Schmitt qui aurait mis Actu Météo 974 sur cette piste. Il a donc résolu l’énigme de ce bolide qui a fendu le ciel réunionnais ce samedi 27 octobre.
The experimental military base Tonopah Test Range in southwestern Nevada is shown in this 2017 Google Earth view, before a recent update.
Credit: Google Earth
Satellite imagery of an experimental military base that was missing from Google Maps for years is now available … but you'll have to go to New York City to see it.
Engineer Dhruv Mehrotra, a resident at the technology and art nonprofit Eyebeam, and writer Brendan Byrne leased the swatch of satellite imagery from the company Apollo Mapping for $1,984.50, after noticing that Google Maps hadn't updated an area over the Tonopah Test Range in southwestern Nevada for eight years.
The leased imagery can be shown only to people within Mehrotra and Byrne's "company," so the pair hosted an event yesterday (Oct. 25) called "Internal Use Only" to showcase the bird's-eye view of the experimental military installment. Visitors had to sign paperwork declaring themselves temporary employees of Eyebeam in order to legally see the satellite shot. [15 Secretive Places You Can Now See on Google Earth (And 3 You Can't)
Mehrotra and Byrne originally suspected government censorship when they learned that users of Google Maps were seeing 8-year-old imagery when they scrolled over Tonopah. According to a Google spokesperson who contacted Motherboard after Mehrotra and Byrne published their article, there was no censorship involved, but rather uninterest. The company licenses its imagery from third- party providers, and updates based on where users tend to browse.) The company has since updated Maps, and the aerial view of the test zone now dates to October 2017, they wrote on Motherboard. According to the Google Earth blog, most of the country's satellite imagery is updated roughly every three years, with the area in Nevada containing Tonopah Test Range an exception that "seems to have been missed."
The pair's project highlights the quilted nature of Google Maps. Some of the mapping program's imagery is aerial photography, taken from planes or helicopters, Mehrotra and Byrne wrote. Over military bases, where airspace is tightly controlled, Google tends to get imagery from private satellite companies instead.
The Tonopah Test Range is about 70 miles (110 kilometers) from Area 51, another military installment famous for UFO sightings and alien myths. According to Sandia National Laboratories, the range is used to test a variety of weapons and planes. Tonopah, according to Jalopnik, was where the slim-winged F-117, the first "stealth" aircraft in the U.S. military, was developed.
A research team has documented a volcanic eruption in the western Pacific Ocean that’s deeper below the ocean surface than Mount Rainier’s height above sea level.
Researchers used remotely operated vehicles to explore the deep waters of the Mariana Trench.
A team of researchers has documented a recent volcanic eruption in the western Pacific Ocean about 2.8 miles (4.5 km) below the ocean surface that they describe as the deepest known eruption on Earth – deeper below the ocean surface than Mount Rainier’s height above sea level.
The researchers say the eruption probably happened between 2013-2015 on the Mariana back-arc, a zone of the sea floor with active volcanoes in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench. The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the earth’s oceans, and the deepest location of the earth itself. It’s located just east of the 14 Mariana Islands near Japan. It was created by ocean-to-ocean subduction, a phenomenon in which a tectonic plate topped by oceanic crust is subducted beneath another plate also topped by oceanic crust.
Bill Chadwick is a marine geologist at Oregon State University and lead author on the study, published October 23, 2018 in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Earth Science. Chadwick said in a statement:
We know that most of the world’s volcanic activity actually takes place in the ocean, but most of it goes undetected and unseen. That is because undersea quakes associated with volcanism are usually small, and most of the instrumentation is far away on land.
Many of these areas are deep and don’t leave any clues on the surface. That makes submarine eruptions very elusive.
The Mariana back-arc eruption was first discovered in December 2015 by cameras aboard an autonomous underwater vehicle. Photos revealed the presence of a pristine dark, glassy lava flow on the seafloor with no sediment cover. Venting of milky hydrothermal vent fluid indicated that the lava flow was still warm, and therefore very young.
Fresh lava from the sea floor.

Data indicated that there had been major depth changes in the area between surveys in 2013 and 2015, the researchers said, which is consistent with an eruption. The new lava flows stretched over an area about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) long and ranged in thickness between 130-450 feet (40-137 meters).
The scientists returned in April and December of 2016 and used two remotely operated vehicles to explore the site. The new observations showed a rapidly declining hydrothermal system on the lava flows, suggesting the eruption had taken place only months before its discovery the previous year. Chadwick said:
Typically after an eruption, there is heat released and venting for a few years and organisms will colonize the vents, creating a new ecosystem. But after a while, the system cools down and the mobile organisms will leave. There was still some venting, but it had obviously greatly declined.
Bottom line: An undersea volcanic eruption discovered in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench is the deepest known.
A former military veteran shares his testimony regarding the crash of a large extraterrestrial craft in Peru that occurred approximately a decade ago. There were beings inside of the craft, still alive.
Reflect On:
What does the black budget world know? Reflect on the implications of a completely transparent world, with no secrecy. Information is our birthright.
There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself. (source)
Millions of pages of declassified documents, witness testimony from thousands of credible people from all branches of global militaries, intelligence agencies and more, not to mention electrooptical data (radar trackings, videos etc), have ‘outed’ the UFO phenomenon within the mainstream world. The topic is also becoming less taboo within academia; some universities even offer courses related to the study of these mysterious objects. The extraterrestrial hypothesis, which represents one explanation for the UFO phenomenon, has enormous amounts of credibility behind it. According to many–astronauts, military personnel, and high ranking politicians–we are not alone, and never have been.
There are unidentified flying objects. That is, there are a hard core of cases–perhaps 20 to 30 percent in different studies–for which there is no explanation. We can only imagine what purpose lies behind the activities of these quiet, harmlessly cruising objects that time and again approach the Earth. The most likely explanation, it seems to me, is that they are simply watching what we are up to.(Mead)
A recently retired professor and historian, Dr. David M. Jacobs, makes a great point when it comes to these things. He muses that if this is all false, and there are no such things, then “we have found the most important thing ever in the history of neurology, brain function, cognition…” In other words, he is saying that this is real, and many people who have been labelled as “crazy” aren’t so crazy after all. He made these comments in a video embedded in this article I published about him earlier.
With the amount of credibility that comes from previous statements of established people within the military, witness testimony has taken on more importance. There are those out there who refuse to acknowledge witness testimony as anything significant, which at this point is borderline crazy. We have a verified phenomenon here, and a lot of testimony comes from those who have been involved in many of the incidents that have already been established via official documentation.
Examples Of Witness Testimony
This document from the Project Bluebook files is quite extraordinary, but what is more extraordinary is the live testimony given by one of the people mentioned in that document, Navy commander pilot Graham Bethune. You can watch his testimony of this incident here, where he says he learned that a certain object was extraterrestrial from “the boys upstairs.”
When it comes to extraterrestrial incidents, one common theme is the crash retrieval of UFOs. It’s been discussed within UFO lore for decades, and stories from ‘credible’ people tell of multiple downed UFOs. It’s certinly not just limited to the Roswell incident. Dr. David Clarke is an investigative journalist, reader and lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University in England. He was also the curator for The National Archives UFO project from 2008–13, and regularly comments in national and international media on UFOs.
He pointed out some of the latest examples, using documents from the national archives that reveal how the Royal Air Force (RAF) expressed great interest in finding UFOs to help come up with new and innovative ways to combat their enemies. Apparently, they were gathering evidence that other nations had collected this technology. Having been an avid researcher into the field myself for more than a decade, I can say that stories of multiple retrievals and crash retrievals of unknown aerial objects are abundant.
Even though they have been partly censored they can’t conceal the fact the UK military were interested in capturing UFO technology or what they coyly refer to as ‘novel weapon technology’…And the files reveal they were desperate to capture this technology – wherever it came from – before the Russians or the Chinese got hold of it first….Although this was 1997, Russia was still regarded as an undefeated enemy with a weapons programme regarded as a threat to the West.
Here’s a great quote from former Candian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer, which gives us an idea regarding the protocol to deal with these unknown objects:
“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about where we were headed and offered to help. But instead, we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after.” (source)
Another classic example would be the CIA keeping tabs on developments in Germany, as explained by this document, which looked into “a German newspaper” that “recently published an interview with George Klein, famous engineer and aircraft expert, describing the experimental construction of ‘flying saucers’ carried out by him from 1941 to 1945.” How did they study these flying saucers? Were they from crashes?
You might be saying to yourself, “a civilization travelling through a sea of stars would not be susceptible to human interference.” I would say that’s incorrect, if you’ve studied anything at all about the black budget, you would know that we ourselves are pretty advanced. Perhaps some civilizations have never experienced such violence and are not prepared? Perhaps the concept of “military” doesn’t exist within some civilizations, or perhaps some civilizations have weaponry that’s on par with ours. Perhaps some of our weaponry is alien technology?
We have, indeed, been contacted — perhaps even visited — by extraterrestrial beings, and the US government, in collusion with the other national powers of the Earth, is determined to keep this information from the general public.”
Victor Marchetti, former special assistant to the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (Second Look, Volume 1, No 7, Washington, DC, May, 1979)
Below is a video of Lance Corporal Jonathan Weygandt, one of hunderds of verified military personnel that have been interviewed by Dr. Steve Greer, the man behind the release of the recent documentary “Unacknowledged.” He tells of a situation regarding a UFO crash retrieval in Peru, with extraterrestrial beings who were telepathically asking him to help them get out of there. Eventually, black ops stepped in, reprimanded him, and did whatever it is they do with these crafts and bodies.
Based on my research and reading of the lore, they are studied for scientific purposes and, in some cases, kept ‘prisoner’ for communication (Interfacing) purposes. But going that deep is simply speculation.
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered”

The Takeaway
There are many rabbit holes you can go down, but the point is, it’s ok to listen to these stories with an open mind, given who these people are, the consistency of their stories and the number of stories that are coming from people with similar backgrounds. The movement is growing and eventually, we will all experience something that will change humanity forever. The implications of this are huge, and it’s great that it’s no longer taboo.
There are huge lessons here, from technology to metaphysical and spiritual implications and more. It’s a lot for humanity to handle, and perhaps that’s why we’re seeing a slow and gradual process of disclosure. Sure, special powerful interest groups may be benefiting from the secrecy, and are possibly looking to capitalize on disclosure as well, but contact goes beyond us. It’s a lesson that can expand our consciousness, and ultimately, the human population is in charge of when we choose to ‘make contact’ in an open way, because right now, it seems everything is so secretive and behind the scenes, when really what we need is full-blown transparency.
A message to those “within”: quit using ‘national security’ to justify secrecy. We need to become an open and connected global community, not one like the New World Order proposes, but one based on the interests of all of humanity and our planet. We can thrive together in cooperation, not competition. We do not need to label or demonize extraterrestrials.
We should not bracket UFOs with angels, archangels, devils and demons. But this is just what we’re doing when we ask whether people believe in UFOs; as if their existence were an article of faith. Do people believe in the sun or the moon, or the changing seasons, or the chairs they’re sitting on? When we want to understand something strange, something previously unknown to anyone, we have to begin with an entirely different set of questions. What is it? How does it work? Are their recurrent regularities? Beginning in this way, with an open mind, people can take a hard look at all the evidence.
Massive Sinkhole in China Has Led to The Discovery of a 'World Class' Geological Wonder
MICHELLE STARR
A expedition to explore a giant sinkhole in the forest of Guangxi, China has resulted in the discovery of a tremendous cave hall complex under the ground.
At 6.7 million cubic metres (236 million cubic feet), the cave's volume is of a rare enormity, making it 'world class,' geological experts are reported as saying.
The expedition was a joint venture between China and the UK, led by Zhang Yuanhai of the Institute of Karst Geology of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, and British Caving Association chairman Andy Eavis.
From 4 to 8 October, the 19-member team lowered themselves into the tiankeng - the Chinese name given to this type of unusually large sinkhole - using just a single rope. Once inside, they set about mapping the interior.
"This time we mainly determined its volume and world-class status through three-dimensional scanning."
They discovered that the sinkhole pit is 100 metres (328 ft) wide and nearly 200 metres (656 ft) long, with a maximum depth of 118 metres (387 ft). Towards the southeast end, the slope collapses into a huge cave complex.
It contains corridors, halls, craters, collapsed rocks, stone pillars and a type of formation called cave pearls - small, round stones polished smooth by water and deposited in cave crannies, where they sit undisturbed.
A shaft in the large cave hall was found to connect to an underground river, which feeds into the nearby Panyang River.
The 3D scanning will also let geologists reconstruct how the sinkhole collapsed.
"Three-dimensional scanning found that Hong Kong·Haiting Hall has retained a lot of evidence of the collapse of the crater evolution, especially the traces of rock mechanics produced after the collapse, which are clearly visible, demonstrating the evolutionary characteristics of this tiankeng," Zhang Yuanhai said.
Tiankengs are usually the result of the collapse of an underground cavern, which has slowly been eroded by geological forces, such as water.
For example, the 626 metre (2,054 ft) long Xiaozhai Tiankeng, or Heavenly Pit - the largest sinkhole in the world - formed over the the limestone Difeng cave, which had been carved out by a powerful underground river.

It's likely that Hong Kong·Haiting Hall was formed in a similar manner.
"These giant caves are natural caves, most of which are caused by collapses and are related to underground rivers," said Zhang Yuanhai.
But he also added, "The formation of all caves is not a one-step process. They basically have a history of more than 2 million years."
Standing at the edge of the water in The Battery, with the Statue of Liberty just behind it, is a monument dedicated to the crew of the tugboat Maria 120. According to the plaque on the pedestal of the statue, the six man crew and vessel mysteriously vanished from New York Harbor in July of 1977. Perhaps this story doesn’t ring a bell because that summer is better known in New York City for the two-day city-wide blackout or the terrifying crimes of serial killer David Berkowitz. Or perhaps, it’s because it never happened. This fun and farcical memorial, which depicts a longshoreman crewman gazing up at what can be presumed to be an alien spacecraft as an extraterrestrial figure lays at his feet, is the latest public art piece from Staten Island based sculptor Joe Reginella. Reginella’s previous installations include the Brooklyn Bridge Elephant Stampede monument and a monument to an octopus attack on a ferry in Staten Island harbor.
As in his previous work, for the NYC Tugboat Abduction monument Reginella draws from true New York City history to add credibility to the story. The blackout of July 13th was a very real occurrence that happened during the summer of 1977. Many neighborhoods saw a surge in crime and flaws in the city’s infrastructure and emergency preparedness were brought to light. Reginella frames his fictional story in the context of this real life event. In the story of the Maria 120, crewmen were patrolling the waters between Liberty Island and Battery Park when in the pitch blackness, a bright streak of light shot through the night sky and what appeared to be a private aircraft crashed into the harbor. The crew immediately radioed the Coast Guard a distress signal and informed them that they were going to try to tow the crashed vessel to shore. However, when the Coast Guard boats arrived to help, there was no aircraft, and the tugboat Maria 120, as well as her crew, had vanished.

The tugboat abduction narrative is further enhanced by supplemental material that includes a website, documentary trailer and even souvenirs that you can buy. Reginella and a team of up to a dozen creatives work together for months to bring these stories to life through various mediums. For this piece, the accompanying documentary follows the son of one of the abducted crewmen as he seeks to uncover the truth of his father’s disappearance. Though in the trailer you see this character perturbed by the commercialization of the tugboat “tragedy”- which has spawned a touristy “Harbor Mystery Cruise” and Statue of Liberty abduction tchotchkes – fans should check out the website’s shop, as proceeds from the themed t-shirts and souvenirs help fund these fantastical projects.
The bronze statue and pedestal, which breaks down into four pieces for mobility, weighs a hefty total of around 300 pounds! What is exciting for Reginella is to see the different ways people react to his statues, whether they believe the story is real or not. While people-watching on a windy Sunday in the Battery, Reginella told Untapped Cities that he loves to see when people “get it,” the moment of head scratching as they realize maybe what they are looking at isn’t what it seems. Regardless of whether the story is true, seeing the sculpture creates a fun moment and story to tell friends about, for those who take the time to stop and observe it. The reactions to this sculpture in particular have been very entertaining for Reginella as a lot of people interact with the it by re-enacting the dramatic pose of the longshoreman figure.

For some reason, the robotics and weapons industries seem to have silently agreed that the world just really needs killer robots walking around blowing stuff up willy-nilly. Perhaps it’s already too late. After all, there are already plenty of aerial drones flying around with large degrees of autonomy, and military engineers the world over are busy putting guns in robots’ hands just to see what happens. While it’s clear killer robots will change warfare forever, it’s still unknown exactly how. Will they increase the amount of human casualties with their superior ability to kill, or will they take human soldiers off the battlefield for good?
Is this the future of warfare?
Who knows. The real losers in any war are always the civilians and innocent bystanders, after all. When those 200-foot robots fall over during battle, they’ve got to crush something. In order to try and mitigate the inevitable dangers of the oncoming killer robots many public figures in the tech industry ave called for outright bans on any killer robots.
It’s safe to say, though, that DARPA, Boston Dynamics, and other research agencies are still hard at work to create our new gun-toting robotic overlords. That’s why one of the creators of the most iconic killer robot of our time is now calling for the creation of a new oath required of the tech industry in an attempt to ensure that killer robots never see the light of day. Is this simply wishful thinking?
Of course it is, foolish humans.
Screenwriter and producer Gale Anne Hurd was recently awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Screamfest horror film festival in Los Angeles. During a Q&A session following the award ceremony, Hurd noted as so many others have that it is the role of artists and other creative types to pose the hard questions and imagine the ‘what-ifs’ about our current society in order to give us pause to think about where we’re headed:
We are cutting edge. We create and think about things that the people who are being paid so much money, the scientists and the physicists, the mathematicians, biotech people aren’t even considering. The more leaps and bounds are made in technology right now, the more fearful we should be that these scenarios may come to pass. Stephen Hawking only came up with the idea that we need to worry about A.I. and robots about two and a half years before he passed away. If he’d only watched The Terminator.
If only. Hurd went on to argue that researchers in robotics and other high-tech fields should be required to take their own version of the Hippocratic Oath, one that just might give a would-be evil genius second thoughts about downloading his brain into a skyscraper-sized, laser-wielding mech:
The one thing that they don’t teach in engineering schools and biotech is ethics and thinking about not only consequences, but unintended consequences. If you go to medical school, there’s the Hippocratic Oath, first do no harm. I think we really need that in all of these new technologies.
Could an anti-killer-robot version of the Hippocratic Oath save us from our inevitable robotic doom? It’s highly doubtful. Oaths can be broken, after all. Was the opening scene of Terminator 2a glimpse into our future? Will humanity’s collective skull be crushed under the cold metal heel of an unstoppable army of Terminator bots?
It’s probably a question of ‘when’ rather than ‘if.’ Don’t be too upset; some catastrophes aren’t worth living through. Just lie down in front of the marching hordes of deathbots, present that nice squishable cranium for stompin’, and think of happier times. It’ll all be over soon.
The artefacts, thought to be part of the historic Dead Sea Scrolls, will no longer be displayed.
Academics tested the fragments and found that the “show characteristics inconsistent with ancient origin and therefore will no longer be displayed at the museum,” the institution said.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are the oldest copies of Bible text ever found, and include passages of the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, that range from 1,800 to more than 2,000 years old.
“Though we had hoped the testing would render different results, this is an opportunity to educate the public on the importance of verifying the authenticity of rare biblical artefacts, the elaborate testing process undertaken and our commitment to transparency,” said Jeffrey Kloha, the chief curatorial officer for Museum of the Bible, said in a statement.
“As an educational institution entrusted with cultural heritage, the museum upholds and adheres to all museum and ethical guidelines on collection care, research and display,” Mr Kloha said.
While the cost of the scrolls has not been revealed, the museum is thought to have spent millions of dollars on them. The institution faced questions over the authenticity of the fragments even before the site opened in November 2017.
In April 2017, it sent five fragments to the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und-prüfung (BAM) a German institute for analysing materials, who tested the ink and the papyrus. The Museum of the Bible said that the recently-received report “further raises suspicions about the authenticity of all five fragments.”
The museum said that supported two other research projects on its DSS fragments. Two years ago, Brill, a leading international academic publisher, released the first in a series of planned volumes sponsored by Museum of the Bible. Edited by Emanuel Tov, Kipp Davis and Robert Duke. Mr Davis and some of the contributors raised questions about the authenticity of some of the fragments.
“My research has focused primarily on two aspects of Museum of the Bible’s fragments: scribal quality and technique in the penning of the texts as well as the physical composition and current state of the manuscript media,” said Mr Davis. “My studies to date have managed to confirm upon a preponderance of different streams of evidence the high probability that at least seven fragments in the museum’s Dead Sea Scrolls collection are modern forgeries, but conclusions on the status of the remaining fragments are still forthcoming.”
Today, many of the Dead Sea Scrolls—which total some 100,000 fragments—are housed in the Shrine of the Book, part of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. The excavation and selling of fragments is outlawed under a UN convention on cultural property from 1970, which means that private sellers fight over fragments removed before that time.
The founder of the Museum of the Bible, Steve Green, who his business the Hobby Lobby craft chain, faced scrutiny over the purchase of more than 5,500 artefacts from 2010 that originated from Iraq. The chain agreed to pay a $3m fine last year to settle a case with the Department of Justice that claimed the objects were illegally smuggled. The items have since been returned.
Hobby Lobby said that it was new to the world of antiquities when it began acquiring historical items for its Museum of the Bible in 2009 and made mistakes in relying on dealers and shippers who “did not understand the correct way to document and ship” them.
Though photographs may present the barren landscapes of Antarctica as eerily calm and peaceful, at least when no storms are raging, the largely lifeless continent and the ice shelves surrounding it produce a medley of bizarrely beautiful sounds. As noted by Earther, the frozen region’s ambient sounds include the Rice Crispies-like crackle of melting ice releasing long-trapped air bubbles to the steady groans, screeches, and pops of massive floating ice sheets shifting and breaking apart as they buckle under the weight of fresh snow in the winter or melt during the summer.
The only catch is that you might not be able to hear all the notes in this spectacular natural symphony if you’re listening with human ears, because many occur on timescales or at frequencies that are not compatible with our auditory abilities. But if you have the right equipment to first capture and then remix the acoustic waves, a whole new soundtrack can be revealed. On top of being really cool to listen to, these recordings help scientists better understand the climatological and geologic processes that shape the Antarctic.
In an astounding new example, a team led by Julien Chaput of Colorado State University and the University of Texas, have revealed how the "songs" created by vibrations in the Ross Ice Shelf can be used to continuously monitor the changing conditions within the ice mass' top five meters (16.4 feet).
“Deploying sensitive seismographs across Earth’s largest ice shelf (the Ross Ice Shelf) for 2 years, we discovered that the shelf nearly continuously sings at frequencies of five or more cycles per second, excited by local and regional winds blowing across its snow dune-like topography,” they wrote in their paper, now published inGeophysical Research Letters. “We find that the frequencies and other features of this singing change, both as storms alter the snow dunes and during a (January 2016) warming event that resulted in melting in the ice shelf’s near surface.”
The Texas-sized ice shelf floats on the Southern Ocean, fused to the mainland off western Antarctica. From this position, the shelf – itself composed of glacier ice that spilled out from the interior of the landmass – acts as a buttress to lessen the flow of ice melt that occurs each warm season. Climate change-driven increases in temperatures have already caused other ice shelves to thin and recede, resulting in sea level rise from unblocked glacier drainage. Currently holding back enormous glaciers that would contribute 5 meters (16.4 feet) of sea level rise if introduced into the water, researchers are anxious for ways to measure the integrity of the Ross Ice Shelf.
As part of that endeavor, Chaput and his colleagues had buried 34 extremely sensitive seismographs under the snow on the ice’s surface and analyzed the vibrations recorded between late 2014 and early 2017.

Soon into the project, the team realized that the snowy coating on the shelf is, in fact, vibrating nearly constantly from the effects of heating and wind. And, similar to a musical instrument, different tones are created when different forces act upon it.
"It's kind of like you're blowing a flute, constantly, on the ice shelf," Chaput said in a statement. "Either you change the velocity of the snow by heating or cooling it, or you change where you blow on the flute, by adding or destroying dunes," he said. "The response of the ice shelf tells us that we can track extremely sensitive details about it."
Weird Square Iceberg in Antarctica ‘Something hidden in plain sight?’
Weird Square Iceberg inAntarctica ‘Something hidden in plain sight?’
NASA’s project Operation Icebridge, studying climate conditions in Antarctica, captured a weird square iceberg during a flyover of Antarctica.
According to NASA twitter: From yesterday's IceBridge flight: A tabular iceberg can be seen on the right, floating among sea ice just off of the Larsen C ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula.
The iceberg's sharp angles and flat surface indicate that it probably recently calved from the ice shelf.
Yes NASA that is indeed very weird; it just split from the edges of ice shelves and there it is… a perfect square iceberg.
It looks almost as if the iceberg was sliced with a laser. This square iceberg with its perfect 90 degrees corners just does not fit in the surrounding area if you compare it with other icebergs.
It is known that there are secret bases and underwater bases in Antarctica. Could it be that this weird iceberg is more than just an iceberg, something hidden in plain sight?
Ever seen one of these? People sometimes report them as UFOs. They’re called hole-punch clouds, and jets make ’em. The connection between hole-punch clouds, jets and snowfall, here.
Patricia Evans spotted this hole-punch cloud in November 2015 from a restaurant parking lot.
You’re probably familiar with contrails, the wispy strands of clouds made by jet exhaust high in the sky. But if you’ve ever seen a hole-punch cloud, sometimes called a fallstreak hole, you’ll be surprised by their strange appearance. They look like strange clearings in an altocumulus cloud layer, often circular patches of clear sky, surrounded by clouds. Sometimes people report them as UFOs. Airplanes create hole-punch clouds – but just how do they do it?
… composed of small water droplets that are below freezing called ‘supercooled water droplets.’ If ice crystals can form in the layer of supercooled droplets, they will grow rapidly and shrink or possibly evaporate the droplets completely.
Studies, including this one by Andrew Heymsfield and collaborators, have shown that aircraft passing through these cloud layers can trigger the formation of the heavier ice crystals, which fall to Earth and then leave the circular void in the blanket of clouds.
They concluded that aircraft propellers and wings cause the formation of those initial ice crystals. There are zones of locally low pressure along the wing and propeller tips which allow the air to expand and cool well below the original temperature of the cloud layer, forming ice crystals.

Andrew Heymsfield of the National Center for Atmospheric Research spoke with EarthSky some years ago, when his study first appeared. He told us:
This whole idea of jet aircraft making these features has to do with cooling of air over the wings that generates ice.
His team found that – at lower altitudes – jets can punch holes in clouds and make small amounts of rain and snow. As a plane flies through mid-level clouds, it forces air to expand rapidly and cool. Water droplets in the cloud freeze to ice and then turn to snow as they fall. The gap expands to create spectacular holes in the clouds. He said:
We found an exemplary case of hole-punch clouds over Texas. From satellite imagery you could see holes just pocketing the sky, holes and long channels where aircraft had been flying at that level of the cloud for a while.
Heymsfield used a weather forecast model developed at NCAR – and radar images of clouds from NASA’s CloudSat satellite – to explain the physics of how jet aircraft make hole-punch clouds.
Heymsfield’s team found that every measurable commercial jet aircraft, private jet aircraft and also military jets as well as turbo props were producing these holes. He said a hole-punch cloud expands for hours after being created. Major airports, where there’s a lot of aircraft traffic, would be a good place to study cloud holes. He said:
What we decided to do was look at major airports around the world, especially where there’s low cloud cover and cold clouds in the wintertime, and found that the frequency of occurrence suitable for this process to occur is actually reasonably high, on the order of three to five percent. In the winter months, it’s probably two to three times higher, 10 to 15 percent.

He said people who look out their airplane window in flight can see for themselves how the wing changes a cloud.
When an aircraft lands or takes off sometimes – especially in humid, tropical areas – you see a little veil of clouds over the wings of the aircraft. And basically, what’s happening over the wings of the aircraft, there’s cooling. And the cooling produces a cloud.
It’s basically a super-cooled cloud. It’s just like a fog you see at the ground except that its temperature is zero degrees centigrade [32 degrees Fahrenheit]. So in that process of expanding, the air expands over the wing and cools. And that cooling can be as much as 20 degrees centigrade [68 F].
The cooling of air over the wings generates ice, said Heymsfield.
About the Texas incident where satellite imagery showed many hole-punch openings and channels, Heymsfield said:
What we found was that there were about a hundred of these little features. We decided to, first of all, identify their location and see if we could link them to particular aircraft. Then the second thing we did was say, okay, why do these long channels last for the period of time it would take for a satellite to take a snapshot of them? We got high-time-resolution satellite imagery and were able then to track these features, these holes, and watch them develop with time, watch how they developed.
Bottom Line: Scientists have found that, at mid-altitudes, jet aircraft can punch holes in clouds and make small amounts of rain and snow. These are the strange hole-punch clouds that are sometimes reported as UFOs.
A new French film about alien abduction (among other things) was screened last week at the BFI London Film Festival. Directed by a man simply known as Quarxx, the film, All the Gods In the Sky, has yet to secure a distribution deal, but, when it does, audiences should be prepare to be disturbed. Apparently, it was inspired by a photograph of a boy who lay next to his dead sister for three weeks.
The official synopsis is as follows:
“30-year-old factory worker Simon lives a solitary existence on a decrepit farm in the remote French countryside. Devoting his time to caring for his sister Estelle, who was left severely disabled when a childhood game went horribly wrong, Simon is plagued by guilt and depression. But he sees a way out, looking to otherworldly forces as a means of liberating both himself and his sister from the corporeal prisons in which they are confined.”
Pretty vague. So where do aliens come into all of this?
In her review for SciFi Now, Katherine McLaughlin notes that the film’s protagonist, Simon (Jean-Luc Couchard), is “convinced he was abducted by aliens who are still trying to contact him.” These aliens are, we can infer, “all the gods in the sky,” of the title and are regarded by Simon as a force of potential salvation for he and his disabled sister who wish to be freed from the heavy shackles of their Earthly existence.
McLaughlin describes the film as “Genuinely bleak and upsetting in places [and] intent on both shocking audiences and inspiring awe.” Melanie Gaydos, in the role of Simon’s sister, Estelle, delivers a “superb and committed” debut film performance, writes McLaughlin in her review, and adds that first-time director Quarxx “ups the disorientation levels and adds wonder to all the melancholy, unpleasantness and despair with remarkable, otherworldly imagery.”
Ultimately, however, the weighty themes are spread a little too thin for McLaughlin’s tastes, as she concludes of the film:
“Touching upon trauma, the pressures of caring for someone, disability, poverty and stolen childhoods [and, yes, alien abduction] in an ambitious and imaginative way Quarxx occasionally reaches a bit too far. Some of the narrative threads feel a little undercooked and unnecessary even if they are affecting and visually intriguing.”
As previously stated, All the Gods In the Sky is yet to secure a distribution deal, but it seems likely that it will be available on some platform or another sometime in 2019. In the meantime, if you’re intrigued at the notion of UFOlogical themes being incorporated into an arthouse film, you should check out the brilliant Under the Skin, which I count among my favorite UFO movies.
The science of proving an object was created by an extraterrestrial civilization
The science of proving an object was created by an extraterrestrial civilization
1. Introduction
In the recent world of fringe science, there has been an explosion of interest in so-called meta-materials allegedly “recovered from unidentified aerial phenomena.” Although this announcement has created a great deal of excitement, there has been very little context to these claims. The public, therefore, has no real baseline by which to critique or even understand the claims or methods being employed to confirm the potentially anomalous nature of the material. For example, how can a member of the public understand whether or not the testing methods suggested by a variety of individuals are sufficient? And how will the evidence such testing provides be understood and analyzed by the scientific community, and how best can that be expressed to the general public? In this report our group will give this context, helping the public to construct informed opinions on these testing methods, results, and the very nature of the tests performed.
As a first pass on this analysis, we must understand what questions are being asked. In other words, let’s suppose we were given a piece of material that was believed to have come from another, potentially alien civilization. The challenge presented to our scientific team is to prove whether or not this material really did, or at least most likely must have, come from some non-Earth intelligence. How would we begin to develop a plan to test if the evidence supported this hypothesis? This question can be broken down into a number of significant portions. Firstly, we would want to identify if the material has come from outer space by comparing it to similar materials or samples we find on Earth. Does it show significant enough differences to cause us to believe it did not come from our planet? Second, is there evidence that the material has been engineered or designed in some way? Does it show properties or applications that we wouldn’t expect to occur naturally, or is it engineered or composed in a way to give it specific properties? And third, does it show advanced techniques or knowledge with which we are unfamiliar. Are there super-heavy elements which we have yet to discover here on Earth, does it show crystal structures or solid phases that have not yet been documented by the materials science community, does it show composition and engineering which is beyond the scope of science today? If these three questions are answered in the affirmative and supported by evidence this would be enough to support the hypothesis. This would show that this material is not only from outer space but from a civilization that had engineered it for a specific purpose. Each question answered in the affirmative would be a tremendous milestone for the person who found the material, but not enough to support the extraordinary claim of alien engineering on its own. For instance, if the material were found to be from outer space with evidence of unknown properties it may be a meteorite or other piece of space debris, but not necessarily from another civilization. At the same time, if the material showed evidence of engineering and was also found to have unknown properties it could be from an experimental aircraft or another device that is currently unknown to the public and scientific community. One possibility we cannot ignore here is that our current science may not be able to understand or determine the properties or applications for which a given material has been engineered. This may give a false negative to our question 3 above and lead us to unfairly characterize some samples as not passing the high threshold we have set. Ultimately if a material has been engineered, it is almost implied that there would be a reasoning behind this engineering, some application for which it would be used. Therefore, I would anticipate that although we may not currently understand its application that does not imply that an application was not in mind when the material was initially designed. This suggests that for cases where engineering is suspected as well as a non-Earth point of origin careful consideration must be given to potential applications we do not expect, as well as a variety of tests that may not be obvious to the engineer or scientist.
Materials science is a broad field with applications across the breadth of scientific, engineering, and medical studies. It deals primarily with the analysis and study of solid materials, both in their bulk form (for example the properties of a gallon of sand) and at the level of individual particles (a single grain of sand). This science deals with both crystalline materials, those with repeating patterns of atomic arrangement into what are known as crystalline phases (one of the most well-known examples of a crystalline solid is diamond, although crystals do not need to be gem-like, for example, salt), and amorphous solids, those without repeating atomic arrangements (one of which is aluminosilicate glass materials such as those used for dishware or windows in homes). Other materials which are well known to the reader are metallic solids such as Iron (a bulk collection of iron atoms held together by shared electrons) and steel (an alloy of iron with other metals, creating a solid mixture of components into a roughly homogeneous material). These materials are all, more or less, simplistic in their composition and manufacturing processes. For the majority of our time as a civilization, we have either mined them from the Earth for our direct use, or performed slight modifications such as melting, remixing, and re-casting to make them more useful. It is potentially true that other civilizations, having obtained the ability to make their way to our distant corner of the universe, will have also had their bronze or iron ages far in the past, and come to roughly the same conclusions as our metallurgists, scientists, and engineers when it comes to how to shape and utilize these materials at the bulk scale (assuming of course that these beings are physical things at all, something that is out of the scope of this discussion). In recent years, materials engineering has focused on the creation of novel materials for directed applications. In particular, this has focused on the creation of materials with nanoscale properties, those which become apparent at the bulk scale but are due to properties of the material at the scale of 1 x 10-9 meters long. Of particular interest to the study of potentially engineered materials, the behavior of nanoengineered solids is such that they would not, in general, be possible in nature as far as we understand it. These may include the creation of composite materials (e.g. solid particles covered in polymer molecules, layers of unlike oxides and metallic compounds with polymer or soft matter layers, designed or engineering crystal or polymer phases, and others), the creation of non-standard geometries (asymmetrical crystal growth or properties, designed crystal defects at regular positions, pillaring or other mixed porosity structuring), or the creation of materials that are post-synthetically functional (in other words materials that can be reversibly altered through the application of heat, chemical impulse, electromagnetic field, or some other energy/force). Probing structures of this sort is a complicated process, but one which has a tremendous amount of literature background available for the interested scientist or engineer. The pathway is apparent to those with the wherewithal to follow it; however, the jargon and specifics may be confusing and difficult to the interested public. In general, however, there are a number of properties that would be of immediate interest to a material scientist faced with the three hypotheses we have posited above. 2. Atomic and Isotopic Make-Up The first piece of useful information is what the material is composed of. This question in the first place helps to narrow down our later searches significantly, provides information to hint at the origin point of the material, and may even help us answer if the material has been engineered or not; as has been gone over consistently in the popular articles on this subject one of these tests would include something like EDS (Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy) or XRF (X-ray Fluorescence). In both of these tests, a material sample is bombarded with X-Rays in a test chamber, causing the atoms within the sample to become excited. These excited atoms eventually relax back to their initial ground state, by releasing photons which are then collected by a detector within the test chamber. The released photons are dependent on the atomic number of the elements within the sample, and in some testing methods, the oxidation state of the atoms within the material can be determined as well. These tests provide information on the elements within the sample, as well as a rough estimate of the chemical makeup of the bulk solid. In the unlikely case that the material contains an unknown element, it is these sorts of tests that would show the scientist that further testing should likely be performed. These tests may also suggest the presence of elements we don’t expect to find normally on the surface of the Earth, or even percentages of elements that are uncommonly found. For example, there are elements which are not naturally occurring but instead result from our nuclear weapons testing. Elements of this sort such as Strontium and Cesium would not be anticipated in high percentages in a normal sample of material, although again this would only suggest that the material is not from a standard source and not that it is extraterrestrial in origin.
Another type of information which has been held up as the holy grail of material testing in pop science is isotopic testing and ratio analysis. Isotopes of a given element are defined by their atomic number (the number of protons in their nucleus, which gives the element it’s identity and placement on the periodic table) and their mass (the number of protons and neutrons, each defined as one atomic mass unit, within the nucleus). The relative abundance of an isotope of an element on the surface of the Earth is, very roughly, averaged to give the atomic mass listed on the periodic table for that element. Isotopes vary due to their stability (with radioactive isotopes decaying and therefore becoming less abundant with time), and therefore the relative ratio of isotopes within a given sample would normally be expected to fit within the range of other samples found on the Earth. However, the variation of isotopes across the Earth’s surface can vary significantly, with radioactive testing and other geological or historical factors potentially playing a part. Therefore, it is important to be nuanced and careful in the analysis of these tests, a fact that has not been fully appreciated to date by those claiming to have extraordinary samples. At best isotopic testing would tell us that material is outside of the range of terrestrial samples we usually find, warranting further study by other means. It may also tell us if the sample is from before or after the Earth or even our solar system formed, or what local chemical or geological make up may have looked like over the lifetime of the sample. However, isotopic testing alone is not sufficient to answer the question of whether or not a sample has been engineered or left behind by some advanced civilization. Isotopic testing is generally performed utilizing magnetic mass spectrometry techniques such as Isotope-Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) or Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS). In these tests, the material sample is first atomized, either by grinding or very fast heating and dispersion in a carrier solution, which also causes them to take on a net positive or negative charge and thereby become ions. These ions are then carried with the carrier gas or plasma through a magnetic field towards an ion detector. The magnetic field is set up in such a way that ions will be separated from one another based on their mass to charge ratio, a value which is specific to ions of isotopes of a given element. Essentially, isotopes which are heavier will flow more slowly with the carrier gas, and those with higher charges will be more attracted to the magnetic field. This allows us to obtain a readout of the mass to charge ratio of the atoms within a sample, which when compared to a standard set of samples can then be used to determine the isotopes within the sample as well as their relative abundance based on the number of hits the detector reads. The results of these tests can be extremely accurate, down to parts per million of a sample if given the correct calibrations and analysis methods being employed.
3. Crystallography and Surface Characterization
If an advanced civilization has engineered a material for a specific purpose, one of the avenues to discover the trademarks of this engineering may be in the specifics of the solid components that make up the material. This includes the surface characteristics of the individual solid components (for example are they patterned or etched, do they show evidence of atomic deposition or other surface treatments for growth or sealing, are the surfaces polished or show a lack of imperfections), the porous structure of the support (is the surface area very high, are their complex porous channels that appear to have some separation or adsorption potential, are the pores engineered to include secondary chemical sites for chemisorption or catalysis of some sort), the crystal structure or phase of the components (is it a crystal structure that currently exists on Earth, is it a single crystal compound, does it show multiple materials combined together in a way which is unexpected), and the bulk properties of the solid (how does it respond to temperature, pressure, shear stresses, radiation, etc). The range of possible properties that can be probed in this case is vast; however, there are a few tests which I would consider to be absolutely necessary for a true analysis of any potentially engineered solid. These include X-Ray Diffraction, Pore/Surface analysis via adsorption isotherm, Raman or FTIR Spectroscopy, Electron Microscopy, and Thermogravimetric Analysis/Differential Scanning Calorimetry. These cover the broad gamut of materials characterization, giving a view of the materials properties as they currently exist, and would hint at potential other applications or methods of engineering should they exist. X-Ray Diffraction consists of the analysis of how an X-Ray beam is diffracted off of a materials crystal lattice. You can imagine a crystal structure like a regularly repeating pattern of atoms, each placed in a fixed position to one another in 3-dimensional space. During X-Ray diffraction, the crystal lattice is bombarded with photons, which are being shot as a beam at a given angle. Photons will interact and collide with atoms within the crystal lattice if they come into contact and be diffracted off of the solids lattice. In X-Ray Diffraction the photons that are diffracted are collected at each given angle and analyzed to determine information about the geometry of the crystal structure, how well defined the crystal is, and even in some cases how much stress or strain the material is under. For our analysis, the first important characterization is if the material is a crystal structure or not. If it is a crystal, is it a sort of crystal structure that we would find in the scientific literature, or is it something novel to materials science? From the hints that we have received so far by those in possession of these materials, we may expect that the solid is layered, or lamellar. These layered solids possess diffraction patterns at the lowest X-Ray angles, between 0.1 and 5 degrees 2 theta (2 thetas being the measured angle of the X-Ray beam). This corresponds to very large spaces between repeating planes, with most layered materials in the open literature showing d spacings of between 10 and 40 Angstroms. This would be a quick and easy test to run and would immediately tell us if the structure is layered in any way which would make it outside of the scope of naturally occurring lamellar structures such as clays or layered hydroxides. Spectroscopy occurs similarly, probing the structure with photons of a given energy and observing the excitation of the material surface to tell us something about the chemical bonds likely present on the material. Raman spectroscopy is generally utilized in this field for metallic structures, although the information obtained in this way is generally limited. The true use of these spectroscopic techniques from a materials science perspective is in the ability to see if there are secondary chemical functionalities present on the material’s surface. For example, we may expect that catalysis or separation applications on some other planet would require the same careful control of chemical binding sites as we use on Earth for our catalysis and separations applications. This would be clear by the presence of secondary chemical species not often found on the surface of solid materials. Sensors on a material surface, coatings for different applications, and other potential surface species adsorbed onto the material being studied (such as debris from entry into the upper atmosphere, chemical species from the atmosphere of where ever this material has been, and other surface alterations) would also potentially be observable from such an analysis. This in tandem with isotherm analysis for porosity and surface area information would also be extremely useful. Materials with very high surface areas may show potential as catalysts or adsorbents and would show at least that the material was likely created and not naturally occurring (surface areas as high as 3000 m2/g have been achieved on Earth, although only for synthetic materials). Electron Microscopy via Scanning Electron Microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy would give information as to the solids bulk surface properties, although outside of that the information gleaned from such analysis is likely to be limited. Of particular interest would be whether the surface is patterned or altered in some way. For example, on Earth we are currently studying the effect of rough surface patterning on anti-bacterial or microbial properties of surfaces, as well as what effect surface etching or patterning can have on the ability to repel or absorb water. We may expect that other intelligences would also find these properties useful to tune and would utilize them to provide beneficial properties to their materials. There may also be other surface patterning alterations which provide additional benefits, for example, radar cloaking or resistance to heat or radiation. On top of that if the material has been fabricated at the micron or bulk scales, then these microscopic techniques would tell that story, providing direct evidence of engineering. Thermal analysis may also provide some benefit, although this would again be limited. TGA and DSC work by heating the material slowly over time and observing what changes are made to the temperature of the material or the weight of the material. This may provide information on organic content, the ability of the material to withstand increased temperatures or heat fluxes, and how the solid behaves under the extreme heat of entry into the atmosphere from space.
4. Current State of Materials Study and Conclusion
As far as can be gleaned from the information available to the general public, it appears that efforts to date concerning the analysis of solids potentially occurring from some unknown civilization have focused on the first class of studies, those concerning the elements making up the material and their isotopes. However, as has been suggested by this work that is only a small portion of the entire picture needed before any definitive conclusions can be made. There are other, more specific tests that would need to be run to determine the potential applications of any material, how it was potentially fabricated, and where it may have come from. However, as any first-year materials science student can tell you, these are the basic analytical techniques which would be utilized for a serious investigation. Of particular concern to the interested public should be any study that purports to give evidence without reporting clearly and in detail their methods, potential sources of error, the accuracy of their measurements, and other information required to replicate their results. Without these pieces of information, it is impossible to verify any claims regarding a material’s properties, let alone more extraordinary claims regarding potential engineering by a non-Earth civilization. It is the authors hope that this report has been informative to the general public, and it is our sincere hope that this work may be of some use to those interested in these subjects who are not sure what to make of extraordinary claims of materials with special properties or exotic origin points.

Argentina: Strange Ground Effects Caused by UFOs?
On Saturday, a young man found two distinctive drawings in the snow, but found no human footprints.
At around 20:00 hours on Saturday, a youth from Moquehue (Neuquén) went out on his motorcycle to ride through a seldom-transited area along Route 117 and found strange drawings in the snow.
"Their size and perfection were striking," said Rodrigo in a conversation with LM Neuquén regarding the spots. "I'd never seen anything like them."
The young man said that after seeing the drawings, he alerted his family and they returned to the site to take photographs and inspect the designs. "I was surprised that there were no footprints nearby. This in an area that is rarely visited," he added.
The ground marks were found on Route 11 heading toward Norquinco in an area that remains closed in winter and only recently reopened in the spring. Patches of snow often remain and that is where the marks were seen.
Other local residents said that drawings similar in their size and perfection were found a kilometer distant from the site.
"I believe UFOs exist. Perhaps it was them," Rodrigo concluded.
Note:Luis Burgos from FAO has noticed a similarity between this phenomenon and drew comparisons with another classic case: "The famous and controversial Delphos Case in Kansas, USA, 1971. It snowed afterward and the UFO mark was highlighted."

Drones: they’re small, they’re kinda cute, and they’re really cool. But these little fliers can also be very dangerous, especially to air traffic.

New research from the University of Dayton (UoD) Research Institute shows that these buzzing motes of technology pose a real threat to larger aircraft, with a direct impact able to cause severe structural damage to an aircraft’s frame.
Winging it
Given that planes are pretty big vehicles and civilian drones tend not to be that way, it’s easy to assume that the former would suffer only minor damage in the case of a collision. However, a new video released by researchers from the University of Dayton shows that this is far from the truth.
The team traditionally studies a similar hazard: that of mid-flight bird-airplane collisions. While such events aren’t too dangerous for planes, they can cause significant difficulties for pilots and some damage to the vehicle. Some of the most dangerous outcomes of a bird-plane collision include broken windows (and subsequent injuries to the crew), and engine damage. The team’s results are forwarded to the aircraft design industry, which uses the data to bird-proof their planes.
Given their background, the team wondered what the outcome of a drone-plane impact would be. In collaboration with researchers at the Sinclair College National UAS Training and Certification Center, they set up an experiment to find out. The test roughly followed the same layout as bird-impact tests: the team set up a target — the wing of a single-engine Mooney M20 — on a fixed mount, shot a drone at it at speeds similar to that of a flying aircraft, and filmed the whole thing. In effect, this simulates a plane hitting a drone during flight.
RELATEDPower and Economy in a Sedan
The footage shows that a drone can cause significant damage to an airplane, should they collide at full speed. Rather than breaking apart, bounding off, or glancing off (like birds tend to do), the drone acted like a cannonball — it tore through the vehicle’s fuselage, causing extensive internal damage. Most worryingly, it chewed right through the wing’s main spar, a key structural unit that carries the plane’s weight (i.e. it’s the part that keeps the wing from breaking off). Damage to the spar has a very high chance of making the plane incapable of flight.
Drone collisions cause greater and more severe damage to planes than birds of comparative size due to their solid motors, batteries, and other parts, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported in a study last year. These parts are much stiffer than the flesh of birds (which is mostly water), so they don’t disintegrate, and most often penetrate a vehicle’s skin. That study also says the FAA gets more than 250 sightings a month of drones posing potential risks to planes, most often near airports.
The UoD team says we need to do more extensive testing — using different sizes of drones and aircraft models — to fully understand the risks involved in such collisions. Furthermore, they point to a collision between a civilian quadcopter drone and a military helicopter that occurred last year, saying that it’s nearly certain we’ll see more such events in the future. The helicopter in that collision suffered severe damage to its rotor, but was able to make it back to base, crew unharmed.
The FAA called on drone manufacturers to develop and incorporate technology to detect and avoid planes. Judging from the UoD video, that’s a good first step. Pilots definitely shouldn’t rely on sheer luck, or current planes, to save them in a drone impact — both are flimsy defenses.
