Archivist delighted to comb though mountain of late UFO researcher's records
Archivist delighted to comb through mountain of late UFO researcher's records
Stanton Friedman, who died in May, donated vast collection of research to provincial archives

In the months leading up to his death, nuclear physicist and ufologist Stanton Friedman started donating his vast collection of records to the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick.
And he had a lot of records.
Archivist Joanna Aiton-Kerr said they've received about 300 boxes so far — that's about 60 metres if you line them up single file, she said — and she expects several more cargo vans to come.
But the daunting task of archiving the records has been anything but a hardship for her team, she said. It's a treasure trove that reflects a brilliant, curious mind, a thorough researcher and a funny, kind-hearted individual.
"This has been a real education for me, and I don't know if I've ever enjoyed helping to process something more than this one," Aiton-Kerr told Shift New Brunswick.
Stanton Friedman, famed UFOlogist, died in May at the age of 84. (Submitted/Melissa Friedman)
Friedman, the famed UFO researcher based in Fredericton, died in May at the age of 84.
A nuclear physicist by training, Friedman had devoted his life to researching and investigating UFOs since the late 1960s.
He was credited with bringing the 1947 Roswell Incident — the famous purported crash that gave rise to theories about UFOs and a U.S. military coverup — back into the mainstream conversation.
Friedman was many things, including an accomplished writer and lecturer, but what he wasn't "was much of a filer," he told Aiton-Kerr.
"I would say he was more of a stacker," she said. "He would stack records up. And so when we get each cargo van coming to the archives, we have a team of archivists and we just start going through it."
The team has thousands of documents to examine and organize — from subject files with titles like "Soviet Space" to piles of publications he's gathered over the decades.
"I would say that, by the end, we are probably going to have our hands on each piece of paper five or six times before we finally have it organized in a state where we can say, 'OK, it's done and researchers can come in and start taking a look,'" she said.
Ruth Savidge and Anne Touchie are summer students working at the provincial archives. They are processing donations that include everything from letters to ufologist Stanton Friedman, to old drug prescriptions, and even some personal files of former Premier Richard Hatfield.7:30
Kathleen Marden, a UFO researcher who co-wrote three books with Friedman, marvelled at his work ethic in an interview shortly after he died.
"He did his homework," Marden said.
"He went further than most researchers in that he did on-site investigations. He went to actual physical archives to do his research. He was an outstanding researcher, highly intelligent and had a great sense of humour."
Thousands of letters
Aiton-Kerr said that among the more fascinating aspects of the collection are the thousands of letters written to him from all over the world by people of all ages, many from non-believers sharing unexplained experiences.
"There's lots of letters that start, 'Oh, I'm a retired teacher, I'm a retired nurse and I have never believed in UFOs, but this is what I saw,'" she said.
"And people in the letters that they wrote to him, they're so affectionate. … In the community, he was regarded as such a warm, welcoming man."

And funny, too. Some letters include artifacts or drawings, and one had a papier-mâché mask of an alien head that also resembled Friedman. Aiton-Kerr said a colleague of hers asked him if the mask should go in the collection.
"He looked at it and shrugged and said, 'Well, I don't wear it often, you know'," she said. "That marvellous sense of humour coming through.
"I believe it's the only collection of its kind, certainly in New Brunswick, certainly in Canada, possibly even worldwide, to have such a mass of UFO research by such respected nuclear physicist."
She said they hope to be able to share it in the not-too-distant future.
Researchers have identified microscopic ancient creatures—dubbed "mold pigs"—in 30-million-year-old amber which represent not only a new species, but an entirely new family of invertebrates—animals without backbones.
These tiny creatures are said to share some characteristics with mites and tardigrades, but are unlike anything seen before, leaving experts to believe they have found a new creature
George Poinar Jr. from Oregon State University and Diane Nelson of East Tennessee State University discovered several hundred individuals in amber which was found in the Dominican Republic, according to a study published in the journal Invertebrate Biology.
The pair described the animals as "mold pigs" due to the fact that they bear a resemblance to true pigs and consumed mold.
In scientific terms, they have been described as Sialomorpha dominicana. The first part of this name derives from the Greek words for fat hog ("sialos") and shape ("morphe") while the second part refers to the country in which the amber was found.
"Every now and then we'll find small, fragile, previously unknown fossil invertebrates in specialized habitats," Poinar said in a statement. "And occasionally, as in the present case, a fragment of the original habitat from millions of years ago is preserved too."
The mold pigs would have lived in warm, moist habitats alongside pseudoscorpions, fungi, roundworms and protozoa—single-celled organisms.
Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are said to be the most indestructible animals in the world.
The creatures—which are invisible to the naked eye—look like similar to modern tardigrades, which are known for their extreme survival abilities. However, the two animals are not closely related.
"The mold pigs can't be placed in any group of currently existing invertebrates—they share characteristics with both tardigrades, sometimes referred to as water bears or moss pigs, and mites but clearly belong to neither group," he said.
The mold pigs measured around 100 micrometers long—about as thick as a human hair. They had flexible heads and four pairs of legs. Most of the time, they ate mold—a type of fungus—although they may have also preyed on other tiny invertebrates. To grow, they shed their exoskeleton, according to the researchers.
"No claws are present at the end of their legs as they are with tardigrades and mites," Poinar said. "Based on what we know about extant and extinct microinvertebrates, S. dominicana appears to represent a new phylum.
"They appear to be hermaphroditic since no males were found among the several hundred specimens in the amber," he told Newsweek. "The eggs hatch inside the females rather than in the environment."
Despite the fact that the researchers were able to learn a lot about the mold pigs due to the high number of fossils they found, there is still a lot to learn about the animals, they say.
"The structure and developmental patterns of these fossils illustrate a time period when certain traits appeared among these types of animals. But we don't know when the Sialomorpha lineage originated, how long it lasted, or whether there are descendants living today," Poinar said.
Fossils preserved in Dominican amber reveal a new family, genus and species of microinvertebrate, a discovery that shows unique lineages of the tiny creatures were living 30 million years ago.GEORGE POINAR JR.
WHAT ARE TARDIGRADES?
Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are said to be the most indestructible animals in the world.
These small, segmented creatures come in many forms - there are more than 900 species of them - and they're found everywhere in the world, from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans.
They have eight legs (four pairs) and each leg has four to eight claws that resemble the claws of a bear.
Boil the 1mm creatures, freeze them, dry them, expose them to radiation and they're so resilient they'll still be alive 200 years later.
An illustration of a tardigrade (water bear) is pictured
Water bears can live through temperatures as low as -457 degrees, heat as high as 357 degrees, and 5,700 grays of radiation, when 10-20 grays would kill humans and most other animals.
Tardigrades have been around for 530 million years and outlived the dinosaurs.
The animals can also live for a decade without water and even survive in space.
A ‘fluffy cloud’ of protein shields water bears’ DNA from radiation, drying and other damage
Some species of tardigrades (an SEM image of one shown) can survive doses of radiation up to 1,000 times that which would kill a human. How they do it has been a mystery, but scientists have deciphered one clue of their secret to survival.
STEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/ALAMY STOCK PHOTO
Tardigrades may partly owe their ability to survive outer space to having the molecular equivalent of cotton candy.
Water bears, as the creatures are also known, can famously survive just about anything (SN: 7/14/17), including being bombarded with X-rays or cosmic rays, or being doused in hydrogen peroxide. Such radiation and chemical exposure result in production of DNA-damaging hydroxyl radicals, molecules composed of oxygen and hydrogen.
Previous research indicated that a protein called Dsup, for damage suppressor, shields the tardigrade species Ramazzottius varieornatus from radiation. When added to human cells, the protein also protects against radiation. Now researchers have found out how.
Dsup surrounds nucleosomes — DNA wound around proteins called histones — “like a fluffy cloud of cotton candy,” molecular biologist James Kadonaga of the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla and colleagues report October 1 in eLife. That cloud keeps hydroxyl radicals away from DNA.
When a tardigrade dries out, it draws in its legs and head and rolls into a ball called a tun (six tardigrades in the tun state shown in this scanning electron microscope image). The Dsup protein may help protect a tardigrade’s DNA from damage while it’s in this vulnerable state.T.C. BOOTHBY
Another tardigrade species Hypsibius exemplaris, previously thought to lack Dsup, has its own version of the protective protein, the researchers discovered. Only about 26 percent of the amino acids in the two species’ Dsup proteins are alike, but both shroud DNA against damage.
Kadonaga says the proteins probably evolved to protect tardigrades from hydroxy radicals when the moss-dwellers are dried out, a frequent occurrence (SN: 12/16/15). Drying increases the concentration of DNA-dinging radicals in cells. And damage can’t be repaired while the animals are dormant in their desiccated state. Since X-rays also form hydroxy radicals, tardigrades “just happen to be X-ray resistant,” too, he says.
Humans have similar proteins called high mobility group nucleosome-binding proteins or HMGNs. But the researchers don’t yet know whether the human proteins also form a similar shield against DNA-damaging chemicals.
Evolution upside down: did aliens leave Earth 20,000 years ago and are they our ancestors?
Evolution upside down: did aliens leave Earth 20,000 years ago and are they our ancestors?
People who claim to have had contact with extraterrestrials often report that they have gained insight into the future of Earth from foreign visitors. They presented holographic images of our planet and explained that the future was variable because there are different timelines.
Let’s start with the possibility that the foreign visitors actually once lived on earth in the bygone days, we would be in some ways their descendants and the foreign visitors our ancestors, who are concerned about the development on earth, because the Earth, in a sense, also belongs to them or has once heard.
Phenomena such as time travel, incarnation and extraterrestrials are still three great puzzles of our present, which we can not clarify only because we still lack the necessary higher consciousness. From Frank Schwede.
So if you are looking for answers, you should first start with yourself and find out who he is and make a journey to your own self, because this kind of journey is a journey through the history of the universe and to the origin of the earth.
The necessary information can be found in our subconscious, in our soul DNA, which we have access to under hypnosis. But also often occurring in repetition dreams, which lead us to certain places, can be clues from the past.
A bizarre YouTube video claims the 14th and 15th century painter and inventor hid proof of aliens in his artwork, most notably the Mona Lisa.
In the video Paranormal Crucible claim one can make out facial features, headdress, cloak and the hands of an ‘Alien High Priest’ if the colours are manipulated to make it clearer.
A computer generated voice which narrates the video says: "Many theologians believe that Leonardo Da Vinci deliberately concealed secret codes and subliminal messages in most of his work.
"If this is true then it's reasonable to assume that the Mona Lisa was in fact painted in order to conceal important historical and religious facts possibly regarding the extraterrestrial presence and its surreptitious involvement within the Roman Catholic Church.”
Leonardo da Vinci 'hid PROOF of aliens' in the Mona Lisa and St John the Baptist
Another Paranormal Crucible video claims there is an alien hidden in da Vinci’s St John The Baptist masterpiece.
The video claims if the painting, which is believed to be da Vinci’s last work, is mirrored, an alien’s face appears in the centre.
It says: “If we mirror and join the image, we can begin to see that the master painter has indeed hidden a mysterious figure within the brush strokes of his iconic painting.
By enhancing the image, the viewer can “clearly” see “possible evidence of an extraterrestrial life form”.

Others, however, go one step further and claim da Vinci was an alien himself.

'Top Secret' Radar Upgrade Reportedly Allowed US Navy to Finally Spot UFOs
'Top Secret' Radar Upgrade Reportedly Allowed US Navy to Finally Spot UFOs
The former naval radar operator noted that “everyone is seeing” the UFOs since a certain secret upgrade was introduced to US warships “fleet-wide”.
It appears that the infamous encounter of an unidentified “Tic Tac”-shaped object by the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group was made possible due to a certain upgrade introduced to the warships’ spyware, according the recent revelations made by a retired US Navy Senior Chief Operations Specialist named Kevin Day.
During a recent interview on the “Truth Be Told” podcast, Day, who served as a radar operator on the USS Princeton, part of the aforementioned carrier group, mused that UFOs might’ve been around for quite some time before the Nimitz incident, when mankind upped its detection game
"There had been a top-secret upgrade of our system that had gotten underway”, he said as quoted by the Daily Star. “They upgraded our cooperative engagement capability and did some tweaking on our spy radar and the way that it all works. I think because of these upgrades we were suddenly able to see things that had always been there.”
Day also remarked that the hypothesis about the older detection systems simply being unable to spot UFOs might explain why “everyone is seeing them” now, after the radar upgrade in question was introduced “fleet-wide.”
And when the host asked him whether he thinks that the object they encountered back then was an extraterrestrial craft, Day said yes.
"This was non-newtonian, it was non-classical physics we're seeing so it had to be something", he said. "What other explanations are there?"
The War Zone has been reporting on a set of bizarre patents assigned to the U.S. Navy that describe radical new technologies that could absolutely revolutionize the aerospace field, and frankly, the very way we live our lives. These include high-energy electromagnetic fields used to create force fields and outlandish new methods of aerospace propulsion and vehicle design that basically read as UFO-like technology. You can learn all about these patents, their viability, and the issues surrounding them in theseexclusive features of ours. Now, the same mysterious Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division engineer behind those patents has produced another patent—one for a compact fusion reactor that could pump out absolutely incredible amounts of power in a small space—maybe even in a craft.
Energy dominance has become a cornerstone of American military policy as laboratories seek to develop the ‘Holy Grail’ of power generation: nuclear fusion. These attempts at developing stable fusion reactors utilize incredibly powerful magnetic fields in order to contain the nuclear reactions occurring inside. Creating a stable fusion reaction is difficult enough, but some laboratories are going even further by attempting to create compact reactors small enough to fit inside shipping containers or even possibly vehicles
The form of nuclear power generation employed in nuclear reactors today is fission, in which unstable isotopes of uranium and other radioactive materials are bombarded with particles, splitting them apart and releasing energy. Fusion, on the other hand, involves uniting atoms of hydrogen isotopes like Tritium and Deuterium under extreme pressure and temperature to produce helium isotopes and neutrons, a process that releases large amounts of energy.
If it can be achieved, nuclear fusion would be a massive improvement over fission in that it produces much lower levels of radioactive waste and greenhouse gases, does not require enriched nuclear material that could be used to produce weapons, has a far lower risk of meltdown, and can be powered by more sustainable fuel sources. Fusion has long been hailed as a long-term solution to humankind's energy needs.
While nuclear physicists and engineers have been conducting experiments with fusion reactor designs for decades, it remains challenging, to say the least, to engineer systems that can contain temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees Fahrenheit and extremely high pressures. Most of the world’s 'successful' fusion reactors are currently only able to maintain plasma discharges for periods of time measured in minutes or even seconds.
Even more challenging is designing nuclear fusion reactors that are mobile, such as ones that might fit inside a shipping container or a ship. Currently, most of the world’s experimental fusion reactors are the size of large buildings and the ultimate goal of much current research is to develop compact fusion reactor systems, or CFRs, small enough to work on a ship or possibly even an aircraft.
In spite of these hurdles, think tanks, such as the American Security Project, believe that fusion reactors in the 21st Century will provide low cost, carbon-free energy to the world, and predict that the United States can lead the world in finally realizing safe and stable nuclear fusion reactors.
The War Zone has been reporting on Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works work to create a game-changing compact fusion reactor. The elite aerospace design unit has been constructing a new, more powerful experimental reactor as recently as July 2019.
Aside from Lockheed Martin, several private firms have been developing their own compact fusion reactors in recent years, and the government-run Chinese Academy of Sciences has claimed to have made significant progress in developing fusion reactors that could one day be capable of producing revolutionary levels of energy.
LOCKHEED MARTIN
Skunk Works team members at work on their experimental compact fusion reactor.
While Lockheed Martin’s CFR designs have garnered quite a bit of media attention and internet buzz in recent years, it appears one of the Skunk Works' major clients is also hard at work in this field. The U.S. Navy has filed a potentially revolutionary patent application for a radical new compact fusion reactor that claims to improve upon the shortcomings of the Skunk Works CFR, and judging from the identity of the reactor’s inventor, it's sure to raise eyebrows in the scientific community.
This latest design is the brainchild of the elusive Salvatore Cezar Pais, the inventor of the Navy’s bizarre and controversial room temperature superconductors, high energy electromagnetic field generators, and sci-fi-sounding propulsion technologies that The War Zone has previously reported on. The patent for Pais’ “Plasma Compression Fusion Device” was applied for on March 22, 2018, and was just published on September 26, 2019. The claim states, in part:
"At present there are few envisioned fusion reactors/devices that come in a small, compact package (ranging from 0.3 to 2 meters in diameter) and typically they use different versions of plasma magnetic confinement. Three such devices are the Lockheed Martin (LM) Skunk Works Compact Fusion Reactor (LM-CFR) , the EMC2 Polywell fusion concept, and the Princeton Field-Reversed Configuration (PFRC) machine. [...] These devices feature short plasma confinement times, possible plasma instabilities with the scaling of size, and it is questionable whether they have the ability of achieving the break - even fusion condition, let alone a self-sustained plasma burn leading to ignition."
It is claimed in the patent application that this plasma compression fusion device is capable of producing power in the gigawatt (1 billion watts) to terawatt (1 trillion watts) range and above with input power only in the kilowatt (1,000 watts) to megawatt (1,000,000 watts) range. By comparison, America's largest nuclear power plant, the Palo Verde nuclear power plant in Arizona, generates around 4,000 megawatts (4 gigawatts), and the A1B nuclear reactors designed for the Navy's Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers generate around 700 megawatts. The patent even claims that the device can "possibly lead to ignition plasma burn, that is self-sustained plasma burn without need for external input power."
USPTO
Patent documentation showing the spinning, electrically-charged fusors (200) which are claimed to be able to contain nuclear plasma (75) in a high-energy magnetic field.
Most fusion reactor designs employ magnetic confinement to contain fusion reactions. This involves torus-shaped coils of superconductors to produce powerful magnetic fields that confine a reactor's plasma core.
The Navy's new plasma compression fusion device, however, claims as its key feature the same principle as in Salvatore Pais' other inventions: the “controlled motion of electrically charged matter via accelerated vibration and/or accelerated spin subjected to smooth yet rapid acceleration transients, in order to generate extremely high energy/high intensity electromagnetic fields.” Pais cites some of his prior publications as evidence that this type of spinning, vibrating electromagnetic system can create the high magnetic fields required to contain powerful fusion reaction in a stable form.
The patent describes how those magnetic fields are generated within a hollow plasma chamber which includes one or more opposing pairs of conical or domed “counter-spinning dynamic fusors” that feature an electrically charged outer surface containing ducts that inject fuel gases, such as Deuterium or Deuterium-Xenon, into the plasma chamber. As these electrically-charged fusors spin, Pais claims, they “create a concentrated magnetic energy flux and electromagnetic radiation within the vacuum chamber,” compressing and heating the gasses within. These fusors vibrate at a high rate as they spin thanks to piezoelectric films such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT) - the same piezoelectric metamaterial Pais claims enables his room-temperature superconductor patent.
USPTO

Like the other bizarre Salvatore Pais patents we've covered previously, the extent to which this patent represents an operable, functioning, or even feasible technology isn't clear. The Navy has vouched for some of his designs in the past, however, going so far as to claim these inventions actually exist in an operable form and that they are needed for national security purposes, most notably to keep pace with adversaries like China. But unlike some of Pais’ patents, this application sailed through the United States Patent and Trademark Office without rejection and subsequent appeal.
Curiously, the patent states that “the invention will be discussed in a space, sea, or terrestrial environment” but notes that “this invention can be utilized for any type of application that requires the use of energy generation.” It is unclear what type of application may exist other than space, sea, or land.
Salvatore Pais is clearly a busy man finding novel applications for high energy electromagnetic fields, and the Navy is patenting some truly science-fiction-like next-generation technologies that if realized, have the potential to change the course of technological development as we know it. Yes, some will likely wonder if this could be the power source that goes along with his other recent "UFO patents"—the engine needed to complete a seemingly otherworldly craft of some sort. The procession of these patents and their potential relation to one another is certainly intriguing, to say the least.
To be frank, we at The War Zone have no idea what is going on here. We have tried to get the Navy to give us some perspective on why these patents were filed, whether they are based on legitimate technology, and why they were ever made public. The Navy remains unwilling to discuss them. At the same time, nearly every physicist we have talked to thinks all of these patents are beyond the realm of known physics and are almost laughable in terms of viability. At the same time, all this is occurring as the Navy, and the Navy alone out of all of the branches of the U.S. military, continues to discuss the fact that its pilots are encountering unexplained aerial phenomena at an alarming rate.
With all this in mind, is the Navy building some sort of incredible craft based on science that remains foreign to the larger scientific community? Did they already do this years ago and are just slowly lifting the veil now? Are they clumsily trying to emulate what their pilots are seeing in the field, but can not yet fully explain? Could these patents just represent gross mismanagement of resources on the Navy's behalf? Or is this all some sort of elaborate disinformation play by the Navy—one that seems to have emerged right in step the rise of major peer-state competition from the likes of Russia and China, and the biggest expansion of advanced aerospace development programs in decades?
At this time we have no way to give you a definitive answer, but we will continue to investigate in hopes of one day being able to do just that.
We've reached out to physicists for comment on this patent and will update this story once we receive their opinions.
The Buddha statue at Buddha's Footprint in Khao Kala, near Nakhon Sawan in Thailand has become a hotspot for extraterrestrial tourists.
Google Maps Satellite
A group of Buddhist worshippers on a remote hilltop in Thailand believe that aliens communicate with people in the area.
Khao Kala in Nakhon Sawan — which translates to "City of Heaven" — is located just three hours north of Bangkok and has become a hotspot for tourists looking to experience the supernatural.
The remote area is located on a hill among a sugar cane plantation. Believers say the hill hides a secret wormhole that allows aliens from Pluto and elsewhere to travel between different dimensions.
As alien seekers flock to the area, local police are becoming increasingly frustrated. Officers have recently raided the area and expressed concern that the influx of tourism could endanger the protected forests.
There is no substantive evidence that the site has supernatural or alien qualities.
Alien tourism appears to be gaining popularity around the world, and some offbeat travelers believe that a remote hilltop in Thailand holds the key to connecting with the extraterrestrial world.
Khao Kala in Nakhon Sawan — which translates to "City of Heaven" — is located just three hours north of the Thai capital Bangkok, and has become a hotspot for tourists looking to experience the supernatural.
Several news outlets, including CNN and Vice, have recently traveled to the area, where some people believe humans can telepathically communicate with aliens.
The hill is located amongst a sugar cane plantation, and, according to the Bangkok Post, believers in the supernatural site say it hides a secret wormhole that allows aliens to travel between different dimensions.
Believers practice meditation at Hill 145, where a giant Buddha statue sits below a statue of a seven-headed snake. Several other Buddhist statues, including one called "Buddha's Footprint" stand nearby.
Somjit Raepeth, a member of Khao Kala group or UFO Khao Kala, a group that believes that the area possesses supernatural qualities, told the Post in 2015 that members practice strict Buddhist principles and were able to contact aliens from Pluto and another planet called Logu Kata Paka Tigong, located somewhere in the Milky Way.
"They have high virtues and morals," she told the Post. "The only way to make contact with them is to practice dhamma (Buddhist teachings) to the highest levels."
According to CNN, followers of the ideology believe that people can hear the aliens through meditation, and have described the aliens as "slender, little, silvery humanoids."
Some followers have reported seeing UFOs and silhouettes of figures on the hilltop, while others say they were actually spun around by alien powers.
There is no substantive evidence that the site has supernatural or alien qualities, or, of course, that aliens exist.
Wassana Chuensamnaun, a lead campaigner for the extraterrestrials, told CNN that aliens from Pluto "are made of energy" and have expressed concern about devastation on Earth.
Loku aliens, he says, have "knowledge of high technology" and present in physical form. He says Pluto's alien leader claimed Buddha was the "greatest human mind."
According to local daily Khao Sod, a member of UFO Khao Kala predicted that World War III would break out by 2022. Wassana told CNN that aliens have promised to take care of a select few "survivors" in the event of such fallout.
Authorities have not taken kindly to the overcrowding of tourists on the hilltop, which houses several Buddhist holy sites.
In August, they raided the UFO sighting spot out of concern that travelers were jeopardizing the protected forests in the area by camping out and holding activities. In September, authorities and forestry officials returned again and confronted Wassana, along with others at the site, according to CNN.
"If we find anyone guilty of wrongdoing, we will file a criminal case against them.
"If a UFO descends and parks here, that's even better. We'll capture them all," Police Maj. Gen. Damrong Petpong told Khao Sod in August.

Triangle UFO Filmed by Florida Cop! Hit With Cruiser Spotlight!
Triangle UFO Filmed by Florida Cop! Hit With Cruiser Spotlight!
One in a million recording of what is most likely a military TR3B antigravity craft flying silently over a neighborhood at treetop level in Clearwater florida! Cop sees a trianglar craft and shines his spotlight on it! It’s recorded on his cruiser video system. He records it on his cell phone before it’s deleted. You can see this craft is completely black and quite large and is moving very slowly over the neighborhood.
Here’s the police officer’s statement posted on a blog.
“i am a law enforcment officer for a police agency in florida. while i was dispatched to a call 10/4/19 at 117 am in regards to suspicious person, upon arrival i noticed a completely back triangular shape craft with no lights about 40 feet above the ground traveling about 35 mph in a southerly direction. the craft had no sound. as the craft came into the line of sight of my cruiser it passed behind some trees and i saw a clearing of trees ahead and it was going in that direction. i shined my spotlight and illuminated part of the craft as it passed between the trees. the craft continued on and i had arrived on the scene of a call so i could not follow. later after finishing the call i reviewed the dash cam video of the time i arrived and saw the object. the video cameras record constantly and are save temporarily to a cache. unless selected they are dumped and not saved to hard drive. after reviewing the video i could see the incident and part of the craft as it passed between the trees on film. i recorded the playback on my phone from the in-car camera of the cruiser. the upper left corner is a retangular blur which had my personal identification number and i removed it for anonimity.”
This TR-3B or whatever this thing was do not fly around in the daytime where people can see them. The chances of it being seen in the middle of the night are very small. This cop was very lucky to be at the right place at the right time to get this on video. No doubt about it, there is a black object flying over this neighborhood and it’s not an airplane or helicopter that’s for sure.
Two people in my own family saw something very similar back about 1984. This object flew directly over our house at dusk on the outskirts of Anchorage Alaska. Unfortunately I was away at college or would have seen it too! It was reported in the Anchorage newspaper the next day. My family members said it was black, triangular and as big as a 747 jet but flew over our house without a sound and at only about 40 miles per hour.
What lies behind ghosts, demons and aliens – according to sleep researchers
What lies behind ghosts, demons and aliens – according to sleep researchers
If you believe in the paranormal you might not be surprised if you hear stories of deceased loved ones appearing during the night, huge explosions heard just as someone is drifting off with no obvious cause, and other peculiar occurrences. But what if you don’t?
My interest in the paranormal started with an impromptu coffee with a colleague, Chris French, who researches reports of paranormal experiences. He told me stories of countless people who had recounted such events. These experiences tended to start while lying in bed. Then something unusual would happen – perhaps a demon would appear or the environment would seem strange or there would be a sensed presence. The person having this experience might also report being glued to their mattress, tarmacked into the bed, totally unable to move.
It’s unsurprising that people who experience such things might interpret them as paranormal. But certain phenomena such as sleep paralysis provide an alternative to paranormal explanations for such occurrences. Hence my interest in the subject, as a sleep researcher.
Sleep paralysis
When we sleep, we cycle through different stages. We start the night in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep – which gets progressively deeper. We then cycle back until we hit rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. During REM sleep we are most likely to have vivid dreams. At this stage we are also paralysed, perhaps as a safety mechanism to stop us acting out our dreams so that we don’t end up attempting to fly.
But during sleep paralysis, features of REM sleep continue into waking life. Those who experience it will feel awake yet might experience dream-like hallucinations and struggle to move. This experience is pretty common, occurring in around 8% of people (although estimates vary dramatically depending on who we are asking). It’s even possible to induce sleep paralysis in some people, by disrupting their sleep in specific ways.
Certain researchers, French among them, believe that this explains a huge number of paranormal accounts. Information about sleep paralysis is finally seeping into public awareness, but we now need to understand more about this common complaint.
Sleep paralysis aside, how else are sleep researchers helping to explain paranormal experiences? People sometimes describe experiencing huge explosions during the night which simply can’t be explained. There is no sign that a shelf has fallen down or a car has backfired. There is no one playing the electric guitar next to their head.
Again, this can be linked to our sleep – this time explained by “exploding head syndrome”, a term coined relatively recently by the neurologist JMS Pearce. When we fall asleep, the reticular formation of the brainstem (a part of our brain involved in consciousness) typically starts to inhibit our ability to move, see and hear things. When we experience a “bang” in our sleep this might be because of a delay in this process. Instead of the reticular formation shutting down the auditory neurons, they might fire at once.
As with sleep paralysis, this phenomenon is also under-researched. For this very reason, in 2017 my colleagues and I joined forces with BBC Focus and Brian Sharpless, a leading expert on this phenomenon, to collect data on this topic.
Imps and ghouls
Finally, what might scientists make of precognitive dreams? We might dream of a friend we haven’t seen for years only to have them call us the very next day. French thinks science can provide an explanation for this too. Referencing work by John Allen Paulos that focuses on probabilities, he explains how such an occurrence may be surprising on any single day, but over time, quite likely to occur.
Researching my book, I spoke to Mrs Sinclair, who is 70, and lives alone. She told me about what she had thought was a ghost living in her house, an imp throttling her during the night and other things that had left her petrified. Having scientific explanations provided her with immense comfort and she no longer believes in paranormal explanations for the things that she experienced.
Our hope is that scientific explanations of paranormal experiences might help others by lowering anxiety. Decreasing anxiety has also been hypothesised as a potential method by which to reduce sleep paralysis. So, perhaps providing more information about these unusual experiences might even mean that things are less likely to go bump in the night.
Otherworldly Worms with Three Sexes Discovered in Mono Lake
Otherworldly Worms with Three Sexes Discovered in Mono Lake
This newly discovered species of nematode is considered an extremophile--it thrives under high-salt, high-pH, arsenic-rich conditions that are otherwise hostile to life. But it is surprisingly versatile because it can also live in "normal" conditions in the laboratory.

Caltech scientists have discovered a new species of worm thriving in the extreme environment of Mono Lake. This new species, temporarily dubbed Auanema sp., has three different sexes, can survive 500 times the lethal human dose of arsenic, and carries its young inside its body like a kangaroo.
Mono Lake, located in the Eastern Sierras of California, is three times as salty as the ocean and has an alkaline pH of 10. Before this study, only two other species (other than bacteria and algae) were known to live in the lake—brine shrimp and diving flies. In this new work, the team discovered eight more species, all belonging to a class of microscopic worms called nematodes, thriving in and around Mono Lake.

The work was done primarily in the laboratory of Paul Sternberg, Bren Professor of Biology. A paper describing the research appears online on September 26 in the journal Current Biology.
The Sternberg laboratory has had a long interest in nematodes, particularly Caenorhabditis elegans, which uses only 300 neurons to exhibit complex behaviors, such assleeping, learning, smelling, and moving. That simplicity makes it a useful model organism with which to study fundamentalneurosciencequestions. Importantly, C. elegans can easily thrive in the laboratory under normal room temperatures and pressures.
As nematodes are considered the most abundant type of animal on the planet, former Sternberg lab graduate students Pei-Yin Shih (PhD ’19) and James Siho Lee (PhD ’19) thought they might find them in the harsh environment of Mono Lake. The eight species they found are diverse, ranging from benign microbe-grazers to parasites and predators. Importantly, all are resilient to the arsenic-laden conditions in the lake and are thus considered extremophiles—organisms that thrive in conditions unsuitable for most life forms.

The new worm exists in three different sexes: hermaphrodites, females, and males. The hermaphrodites can produce offspring by themselves, but the females and males need to mate in order to produce their young. The females and males are often produced early in the reproductive cycle of the mother, followed by the hermaphrodites.

But beyond human health, studying extreme species like the nematodes of Mono Lake contributes to a bigger, global picture of the planet, says Lee.
“It’s tremendously important that we appreciate and develop a curiosity for biodiversity,” he adds, noting that the team had to receive special permits for their field work at the lake. “The next innovation for biotechnology could be out there in the wild. A new biodegradable sunscreen, for example, was discovered from extremophilic bacteria and algae. We have to protect and responsibly utilize wildlife.”

The paper is titled, “Newly Identified Nematodes from Mono Lake Exhibit Extreme Arsenic Resistance.” Shih and Lee are co-first authors on the study; Shih is now a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University and Lee is now a postdoctoral fellow at The Rockefeller University. In addition to Shih, Lee, and Sternberg, other co-authors are Ryoji Shinya of Meiji University in Japan, Natsumi Kanzaki of the Kansai Research Center in Japan, Andre Pires da Silva of the University of Warwick in the UK, former Caltech Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow student Jean Marie Badroos now of UC Berkeley, and Elizabeth Goetz and Amir Sapir of the University of Haifa in Israel. Funding was provided by the Amgen Scholars Program, the Leverhulme Trust, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
An odd worm with three sexes (inset) was recently discovered in Mono Lake in California.
Jellyfish are animals that possess the unique ability to regenerate body parts. A team of Japanese scientists has now revealed the cellular mechanisms that give jellyfish these remarkable “superpowers.”
Their findings were published on August 26, 2019 in PeerJ.
“Currently our knowledge of biology is quite limited because most studies have been performed using so-called model animals like mice, flies, worms and fish etc. Given that millions of species exist on the earth, it is important to study various animals and broaden our knowledge,” said Yuichiro Nakajima, Assistant Professor at the Frontier Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences, Tohoku University in Japan, and corresponding author of the study.
“Jellyfish are one of such animals with interesting biological features,” Nakajima said. “For example, they have stinging cells, called cnidocytes, to capture prey.”
Cladonema jellyfish have branched tentacles
Credit: ⒸSosuke Fujita, Tohoku University Cnidarian jellyfish – named for their stinging cells – have existed on the earth for more than 500 million years. They form part of a unique group of animals that are not bilaterally symmetrical and also possess the capacity to regenerate body parts — a trait most of the complex animals, including humans, have lost. These early-diverging primitive animals could play a pivotal role in helping us better understand the evolutionary biology of bilaterally symmetrical animals, like us humans.
For their study, the researchers used Cladonema pacificum — a jellyfish species from the Cnidaria phylum that has branching tentacles — to investigate the spatial pattern of cell proliferation and their roles during jellyfish development and regeneration, aiming to establish the cellular basis of these phenomena. “With easy lab maintenance and a high spawning rate, Cladonema is suitable for studying various aspects of jellyfish biology,” Nakajima explained.
To investigate the role of cell proliferation following food uptake in determining body-size growth, appendage shape, and regeneration in Cladonema jellyfish, the researchers examined the distribution of cells that play a key role in DNA replication through cell division, producing new ‘daughter’ cells that are identical to the original ‘parent’ cell. They found spatially distinct groups of proliferating cells in the medusa (sexual) life-stage, with cell proliferation in the umbrella-shaped portion of their body being uniform, while cell proliferation in the tentacles was clustered.

After withholding food or blocking cell proliferation using a cell-cycle inhibiting agent, the researchers found body size growth was inhibited, and they also observed defects in tentacle branching, differentiation of stem cells into stinging cells, and regeneration. These results suggest that free-swimming adult jellyfish in the sexual stage possess actively proliferating cells that play a key role in controlling body-size, tentacle shape, and regeneration.
Additionally, the researchers found that when food was not available, the jellyfish exhibited a gradual decrease in body size after 24 hours, suggesting they are sensitive to food availability and are able to adapt to metabolic changes in response to environmental conditions.
“We are currently trying to understand the molecular mechanisms of Cladonema development and regeneration,” said Sosuke Fujita, a master student in the Graduate School of Life Sciences, Tohoku University, and the first author of the study. “Based on this research, molecular control of cell proliferation is the key to deciphering jellyfish growth and regeneration.
According to Nakajima, the researchers also plan to investigate the differences between the two different adult stages in jellyfish: medusae (sexual) and polyps (asexual). “For these purposes, we will identify gene expression changes associated with different developmental and regeneration contexts and plan to introduce genetic tools for manipulation of genes.”

Area 51 raid aftermath: What happened at Area 51? Internet asks 'how many people died?'
Area 51 raid aftermath: What happened at Area 51? Internet asks 'how many people died?'
STORM AREA 51, the most talked-about online prank of the year, was pulled off last week after months of hype – but what happened at Area 51 and did anyone get hurt or die at the Area 51 raid?
More than 2.1 million pledged to storm Area 51to “see them aliens” but only a handful turned up in the Nevada desert on Friday, September 20. The Area 51 raid began as an online Facebook event organised by California-based internet prankster Matty Roberts, 21, on June 27 this year. By July, the event gained traction among online communities and UFO enthusiasts with 2.1 million confirming their attendance and another 1.5 million showing interest. The original “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us” event was cancelled and moved to Las Vegas but the move did not deter small groups of people from visiting the US Air Force base.
Despite warnings from the US military about approaching the “open training range” up to 100 people congregated outside the gates to Area 51.
About 2,000 would-be Area 51 raiders also paid visits to the nearby towns of Rachel and Hiko, where they held impromptu parties, campsites in the desert and an alien-themed festival over the weekend.
People showed up wearing fancy costumes, carrying placards and inflatable aliens.
One UFO enthusiast was seen holding a sign calling on the US Government to release the friendly alien ET.
Another woman held a sign that read: “Jesus was an alien.”

One Twitter user also said: "Gotta be honest, I'm pretty disappointed in the death count from the raid on Area 51. I expected more from you guys."
And Caylie Smith tweeted: "So when are people gonna storm Area 51? I’ve been waiting. I can’t even imagine what would happen.
"Probably lots of death but hopefully someone snags an alien and gets out safely."
Thankfully, no has died or been injured at the events outside the US army base.
In total, six arrests were made, including one for public urination and five counts of trespassing.

According to Lincoln County Sheriff Kerry Lee, the crowds were “very manageable for emergency services”.
He said: “They did threaten that they were going to storm.
“Once officers warned them about the consequences for storming the base, they did have second thoughts.”
The sheriff added: “The crowd has been very good. Officers have been mingling with the crowds and the crowds have been positive and so far it's been really well.”
Nevada Highway Police also responded to a driver hitting a cow.
How did people react to the Area 51 raid event?
The Area 51 raid was met with a wide range of reactions from those who were directly involved in the festivities and those who observed online.
One Twitter user suggested people commemorate the event every year by meeting on September 20 to start an internet tradition.
Another Twitter user suggested people export the event to Europe in a bid to “storm the Vatican”.
Some were, however, disappointed in the low turnout.
Twitter user Yves Jean said: “Raid on Area 51 was a complete bust. About one million people said they would attend and only 50 people showed up.
“Now the whole world knows what it’s like to be a local musician, inviting friends to your next gig.”
Elon Musk claims that alien life doesn't exists in the entire galaxy
Elon Musk claims that alien life doesn't exists in the entire galaxy
Elon Musk says that he doesn’t believe alien life exists, not on Earth and even not in the entire galaxy. He made the bold claim on stage on Saturday night while unveiling his Starship rocket prototype Mark-1 in Texas.
SpaceX's Starship and Super Heavy launch vehicle is a fully, rapidly reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and anywhere else in the solar system.
“Man, I’m pretty sure I’d know if there were aliens. I’ve not seen any signs of aliens but there might be other life, but we’ve seen no signs of it and as far as we know, we are the only consciousness or the only life that’s out there", Musk said.
Many people did not believe his statement that extraterrestrial life would not exist throughout the galaxy and branded him a "liar" for his dismissal, reports RT.
Elon Musk starts talking about extrateerestrial life at the 37,28 mark in the next video.
If you’re a regular reader of this blog you’ll know that I don’t spend a lot of time on anything do to with the world of UFOs, alien conspiracies, or other dubious propositions about how the world works. I have plenty of my own borderline outrageous scientific extrapolations and hypotheses, but these are all (I hope) grounded in some element of reality as the majority of humans understand it. That other stuff, little grey aliens and so on? Let’s just say I’d rather spend more time on deciding what to have for lunch.
But that’s me: While a significant portion of humanity voiced demands this week for real changes in how we humans go about our lives – in order to try to avoid the absolute worst-case scenarios of near-future climate change – there was also a cohort whose attention was focused on a bit of arid terrain some eighty miles north of Las Vegas. Here, at the edge of the Groom Lake salt flats in Nevada, is a US Air Force facility known as either Groom Lake, Homey Airport, or Area 51, within the Nevada Test and Training Range.
Long a subject of just about every ‘theory’ about government conspiracies and extraterrestrial shenanigans since the 1940s, Area 51 still holds a powerful allure. So much so that some two million people responded to a (presumably satirical) proposal on Facebook in June 2019 to ‘storm’ Area 51 on September 20th 2019 and find out once and for all what it’s hiding. In the end about 40 people are reported to have shown up. Naturally the US military did not let anyone near the actual facility.
There’s plenty of readily available material to peruse on what probably takes place at Area 51 – mostly highly classified aeronautical research for military purposes, such as technologies for stealth aircraft. And, ironically, there are suggestions that people’s focus on wild alien conspiracies at this locale have been quite helpful in distracting from the real work at the base.
That distraction is actually worth considering. As a species we’re all pretty good at getting distracted. It doesn’t have to be with intricate conspiracies about other life in the cosmos, it can be about celebrities, gossip, or online videos on how to make turnip desserts (I don’t know, but that probably exists somewhere). Almost anything but the inconvenient truths about the nature of our existence. We are born, some things are okay, we suffer a bit, and we drop dead.
No wonder we have a hard time facing up to our complicity, no matter how modest, in a civilization-spanning set of behaviors that are unhealthy for us and the biosphere that supports us. Of course, we’re not all quite as bad as each other. The vast numbers of humans who still live moment-to-moment, struggling for food, clean water, and education, are hardly as culpable as someone like me, sitting here with my ridiculously environmentally unsound laptop and effectively limitless electrical power. But that doesn’t matter, to get out of this mess every person will end up having to behave differently, it’s simply a matter of degree.
The one thing genuinely interesting about Area 51 is how it reflects on our inability to snap out of a world of fanciful thinking and fanciful hopes. Maybe there’s a lesson somewhere in there; we don’t need to give up our love of the impossible, but we definitely need to do better at differentiating between fantasy and reality.
In fact, if you want to believe that Area 51 hides wonderous extraterrestrial technology secrets you should ask what another sentient species from across the galaxy did to get itself to such a point of sophistication. The answer, I suspect, would be to first figure out how to sustain its homeworld and itself in a way that enabled a glorious future of buzzing unsuspecting bipeds in the deserts of a distant planet.
‘Alien’ Worm With Three Sexes Discovered in Hostile California Lake

‘Alien’ Worm With Three Sexes Discovered in Hostile California Lake
Before you start screaming, “How do you known it’s an alien?”, tell me what other Earth species has three sexes? And can survive 500 times the lethal human does of arsenic? And can live in a lake with only two other species in water three times as salty as the ocean? And gives birth to its young like a kangaroo? Go ahead … google away. I’ll wait.
Finished? Find anything? Then it’s an alien, right? Or at least an “alien.”
“Arsenic resistance is something we can study in the lab, but maybe that’s not the most interesting part of the story. The most important thing is that there’s this diversity of life in extreme environments that we just haven’t appreciated before.”
Paul Sternberg, Bren Professor of Biology at CalTech, is so respected in the field of nemotodes that he has a lab named after him, and that’s where he led a team of researchers in a search for any type of weird tiny worms that could live in the harsh waters of California’s Mono Lake — a salty, alkaline, arsenic-rich body of water known to be home to just two species: brine shrimp and diving alkali flies.
Mono Lake
Mono Lake has the world’s highest concentration of alkali flies – another strange species that takes its head off to emerge from its pupal stage and then puts it back on to become a fly. This didn’t bother the native Kutzadika’a people whose name means “fly eater” and … you can figure the rest of it out.
Back to the aliens. Researchers at the Sternberg lab like to look for extremophiles — organisms that live and thrive in conditions unsuitable for most other life forms. Since nemotodes (roundworms) are the most abundant creatures on Earth, and since those are their specialty, that’s what Paul Sternberg and his lab assistants looked for in Mono Lake. While they expected they might find one, they were surprised to find eight different species of nemotodes. And they were shocked at the unique characteristics of one of them.
“One species, Auanema sp., is new, culturable, and survives 500 times the human lethal dose of arsenic.”
As the study, published in Current Biology and described in a CalTech press release, points out, Auanema sp. has three sexes – male, female and hermaphrodite – and gives birth to its young live instead of in eggs. It’s now the most dominant species in a lake so hostile, it only has two others.
So, is it an alien?
“Understanding biodiversity is important for so many reasons: many organisms can act like canaries in a coal mine, alerting us to danger. Others can teach us how to thrive under what seem to be harsh conditions: chemicals, temperature, acidity or alkalinity, salt, radiation, you name it. Also, there are so many mysteries about life: each species has an interesting story to tell us.”
Sternberg hints that we don’t yet know the whole story about Auanema sp. It sounds like the kind of tough survivor like tardigrades that can survive in outer space – making it a prime candidate for panspermia … traveling to Earth from another planet.
Tardigrade
Did they? Who knows? In the meantime, the researchers at Sternberg lab will certainly be watching them to see how the three sexes have sex, not to mention trying to figure out how they survive. And we should be watching them too because … if something starts killing off the toughest creatures on Earth who can have sex three ways, what does the future hold for us?
NASA Detects Mysterious Green Light that Disappeared Days Later
NASA Detects Mysterious Green Light that Disappeared Days Later
As if the universe did not tire of surprising the specialists, now NASA detected a mysterious green light in the Fireworks galaxy that disappeared days later .
The experts of the space agency were surprised that the phenomenon appreciated suddenly disappeared, as Hannah Earnshaw, lead author of the investigation, revealed that this huge green light spot took her team’s dream away:
“Ten days is a really short time for such a bright object to appear. It was an exciting experience.”
As the Actualidad RT portal reported, NASA’s NuSTAR space observatory caught a burst of blue and green X-ray light that illuminated a part of the Fireworks galaxy.
The light spots, which disappeared within a few days of being detected, found an explanation this week in a statement from the agency based on a recent study.
At first the researchers did not know what the phenomenon was and rejected the theory that it was a supernova. In addition, the flashes suddenly disappeared ten days after the first observation.
The team of specialists named this phenomenon ULX-4, as they concluded that it was a source of ultra-bright X-rays (ULX). This space event is the fourth that is identified in this galaxy, but what intrigued the experts was the brevity of its appearance.
Around this mysterious green light a theory was created that indicated that the illumination could come from a black hole that consumed a star, since it is known that the gravity of this star separates any object that gets too close.
However, the time when black holes ‘eat’ dense space objects like stars usually has a long duration, so this brief appearance could be something else. The specialists suggested that the hole probably destroyed the star.
Other theories indicate that the ULX-4 was generated by a neutron star that acts just like black holes, feeding on cosmic material and ‘forming a disk of debris around it that moves quickly.’
Many conspiracy users claim that these lights are proof that aliens are manifesting now because they know the next prophecy of the End of the World, which will take place on September 23, 2019, would you like to know more about this theory?

Boules orange au-dessus de l’A23 le samedi 14: les avez-vous vues?
Boules orange au-dessus de l’A23 le samedi 14: les avez-vous vues?
Samedi 14 septembre, aux alentours de 22 h 40, cinq boules orange ont été aperçues par Julien (1) alors qu’il roulait sur l’A23 à hauteur de Rosult. Afin d’identifier ces boules, la MUFON, réseau d’enquêteurs et chercheurs sur les OVNI, lance un appel à témoignages.
Par Angèle Bayeul
Julien n’a pu filmer le phénomène que quelques secondes.
« J’étais sur la route pour aller à Lille avec mon épouse, quand nous avons aperçu dans le ciel cinq boules orange avec un point noir au milieu, au-dessus de l’A23. Elles se déplaçaient, stagnaient, puis repartaient. Il était environ 22 h 40. »
Mais qu’a vu Julien (1) ce samedi 14 septembre au soir dans le ciel ? Événement paranormal ? Arrivée discrète des extraterrestres ? Le quadra lillois serait plutôt du genre terre à terre mais confie avoir emprunté la première sortie d’autoroute pour mieux observer l’étrange phénomène qui se déroulait sous ses yeux. Sa route le mènera à Rosult près de Saint-Amand-les-Eaux.
« Je ne pense pas qu’elles dépendaient du vent, puisqu’elles allaient dans un sens et retournaient dans l’autre »
« Quand nous sommes arrivés à Rosult, il n’y en avait plus que trois boules. Je ne pense pas qu’elles dépendaient du vent, puisqu’elles allaient dans un sens et retournaient dans l’autre » analyse Julien, ce qui élimine, pour lui, la possibilité d’un vol de lanternes thaïlandaises. «L’une des boules s’est arrêtée au niveau d’une maison où se tenait une fête, comme si elle observait ce qu’il se passait, et quand j’ai voulu zoomer et en illuminer une avec mon téléphone, elle est partie. J’ai cru à des drones. » Mais qui pourrait bien espionner ces joyeux fêtards ?
Pour éclaircir ses eaux troubles, Julien a contacté le Mufon (Mutual UFO network), réseau de 14 enquêteurs et de chercheurs pour identifier les objets volants non identifiés (OVNI) « tout à fait respectable » selon le Geipan, organe officiel équivalent. Pascal Fechner, le directeur national, affirme que son travail est de récolter des témoignages et essayer de reconnaître les objets non identifiés de manière « rationnelle » et « factuelle ». « Le plus souvent, les phénomènes observés sont des lâchers de lanternes thaïlandaises, des astres, des planètes, des météorites et des drones. » Pas de Jupitériens à l’horizon, donc.
Appel à témoins
Pour permettre à l’enquête d’expliquer l’origine de ces boules orange vues dans la nuit du 14 septembre, le Mufon lance un appel à témoins avec, si possible, vidéos à l’appui.
PUBLIC INVITED TO VIEW A 100-DRONE AERIAL LIGHT SHOW
PUBLIC INVITED TO VIEW A 100-DRONE AERIAL LIGHT SHOW
A musically choreographed flock of 100 drones will take to
the sky on Friday, September 20, at approximately 9 p.m. just east of the iHotel and Conference Center in Champaign. The special aerial performance is in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois.
Photo provided by Firefly Drone Shows
“When the department was founded in 1944, unmanned aerial vehicles—drones, were the stuff of science fiction. Today, they’re used in all sorts of applications and represent one of the cutting-edge technologies our researchers and students are working on in the department,” said Professor and Interim Head of the Dept. of Aerospace Engineering Greg Elliott. “As we kick off a year-long celebration of aerospace at Illinois, we are particularly excited to be able to share this professional drone show with the community.”
The show is produced by Firefly Drone Shows and will be customized with a nod to the department's 75th anniversary.
The show soundtrack will be simulcast on WPGU radio at 107.1 FM. Audio can also be heard through WPGU app or TuneIn Radio, both of which are available on the App Store or Google Play.
