Super Earth Are Likely To Have Oceans And Continents
"Super-Earths are Likely to Have Oceans and Continents"Posted: 09 Jan 2014 08:32 AM PST

"Are the surfaces of super-Earths totally dry or covered in water?" said Nicolas B. Cowan, a Northwestern University astrophysicist at the Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics (CIERA). "We tackled this question by applying known geophysics to astronomy." Massiveterrestrial planets, called "super-Earths," are known to be common in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Now Cowen and a University of Chicago geophysicist report the odds of these planets having an Earth-like climate are much greater than previously thought.Cowan and Dorian Abbot's new model challenges the conventional wisdom which says super-Earths actually would be very unlike Earth -- each would be a waterworld, with its surface completely covered in water. They conclude that most tectonically active super-Earths -- regardless of mass -- store most of their water in the mantle and will have both oceans and exposed continents, enabling a stable climate such as Earth's."Super-Earths are expected to have deep oceans that will overflow their basins and inundate the entire surface, but we show this logic to be flawed," he said. "Terrestrial planets have significant amounts of water in their interior. Super-Earths are likely to have shallow oceans to go along with their shallow ocean basins."In their model, Cowan and Abbot treated the intriguing exoplanets like Earth, which has quite a bit of water in its mantle, the rocky part that makes up most of the volume and mass of the planet. The rock of the mantle contains tiny amounts of water, which quickly adds up because the mantle is so large. And a deep water cycle moves water between oceans and the mantle. (An exoplanet, or extrasolar planet, is a planet outside our solar system.)Cowan presented the findings at a press conference, "Windows on Other Worlds," held Jan. 7 at the 223rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society(AAS) annual meeting in Washington, D.C.He also will discuss the research at a scientific session to be held from 2 to 3:30 p.m. EST Wednesday, Jan. 8, at the AAS meeting (Potomac Ballroom D, Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center). The study will be published Jan. 20 in the Astrophysical Journal.Water is constantly traded back and forth between the ocean and the rocky mantle because of plate tectonics, Cowan and Abbot said. The division of water between ocean and mantle is controlled by seafloor pressure, which is proportional to gravity.Accounting for the effects of seafloor pressure and high gravity are two novel factors in their model. As the size of the super-Earths increase, gravity and seafloor pressure also go up."We can put 80 times more water on a super-Earth and still have its surface look like Earth," Cowan said. "These massive planets have enormous seafloor pressure, and this force pushes water into the mantle."It doesn't take that much water to tip a planet into being a waterworld. "If Earth was 1 percent water by mass, we'd all drown, regardless of the deep water cycle," Cowan said. "The surface would be covered in water. Whether or not you have a deep water cycle really matters for planets that are one one-thousandth or one ten-thousandth water."The ability of super-Earths to maintain exposed continents is important for planetary climate. On planets with exposed continents, like Earth, the deep carbon cycle is mediated by surface temperatures, which produces a stabilizing feedback (a thermostat on geological timescales)."Such a feedback probably can't exist in a waterworld, which means they should have a much smaller habitable zone," Abbot said. "By making super-Earths 80 times more likely to have exposed continents, we've dramatically improved their odds of having an Earth-like climate."Cowan and Abbot accede that there are two major uncertainties in their model: that super-Earths have plate tectonics and the amount of water Earth stores in its mantle."These are the two things we would like to know better to improve our model," Cowan said. "Our model is a shot from the hip, but it's an important step in advancing how we think about super-Earths."The paper is titled "Water Cycling Between Ocean and Mantle: Super-Earths Need Not Be Waterworlds."The Daily Galaxy via Northwestern University Image credit: With thanks to http://freetheta.com/planet-earth.jpg


Quem So Os Aliens

Os Aliens GREYS

Esta a raa mais comum identificada pela Ufologia. So muitos os avistamentos, histrias e teorias referentes a eles. Os Greys, como so apresentados pela comunidade cientfica, so muito comumente descritos por suas vtimas de abdues. So considerados demnios ou raa de energia negativa, com motivos e propsitos desconhecidos em relao Terra. Eles parecem estar abduzindo, estudando e testando vrios indivduos. So freqentemente relacionados com muitas outras raas, como os Reptilianos e com diferentes teorias de conspirao - uma mistura de vises cientficas e Nova Era.

Uma das teorias afirma que uma ou mais de suas espaonaves se chocaram e foram capturadas pelo governo dos EUA (Caso Roswel). O governo americano ento fez um acordo secreto permitindo que eles faam abdues de humanos em troca de tecnologia. A teoria da conspirao finaliza, afirmando que os Greys no mantiveram a sua parte no acordo. Estas so as descries dos diversos tipos de Greys: (so todos humanides, com cabea, tronco, dois braos, duas pernas e dois ps) :

1: Os Greys mais freqentemente vistos tm em torno de 0,60 cm a 1,20m de altura, muito magros, olhar delicado, de baixo peso, olhos negros extremamente penetrantes e inclinados sem pupilas, vestgios de boca e nariz, cabea muito grande, com queixo pontiagudo. A cor da pele varia do cinza escuro ao cinza claro; do plido ao branco e pode tambm ser bronzeado. No h pelos em seu corpo.

2: Outros tambm comumente vistos so semelhantes aos descritos anteriormente, exceto nos seus 15,24 cm de altura, e parecem dar as ordens. Uma variao deste mesmo tipo descrito so os olhos negros arredondados como grandes botes negros.

3: Mais um tipo de Greys: so como pequenos robs, atarracados e pequenos, com um liso e redondo capacete, com negros e profundos olhos, com o contorno da boca arredondado, tronco quadrado mostrando crculos concntricos, cheiram como cabea de fsforo queimada, e a pele tem a colorao cinza cogumelo. Este Greys agem como guardas de segurana. Outras variaes so descritas como Reptilianos com garras parecidas com os insetos louva-a-deus. H tambm relatos de crias de cruzamento que no tem de formas exatamente como humanos ou como Greys.

Os tipos de Greys so assim classificados pela Ufologia:



ZETA RETICULI GREYS


Zetas Reticuli Greys, provem de Zeta Reticulan, prximo estrela Barnard, nas vizinhanas do sistema estelar de Orion. So baixos, cinzas em cor e possui sistemas sexual e digestivo hipertrofiados. Eles so criados mediante um processo de clonagem da engenharia gentica aliengena. Eles so uma raa antiga e vm se reproduzindo a si mesmos h milhares de anos. Possuem poucas caractersticas faciais, grandes olhos, uma pequena boca e no possuem nariz.

Os Zetas so um dos envolvidos nas mutilaes de gado, eles absorvem certos nutrientes das partes mutiladas do gado para se alimentar, essas substncias provm de partes como lbios, nariz, genitais e reto alm do sangue. Para absorver os nutrientes, eles utilizam perxido de hidrognio, que facilita a absoro dos nutrientes pela pele, assim como facilita a eliminao do que sobrou da digesto celular, tambm feita pela pele.

Os Zetas j foram referidos como "pequenos homens verdes" porque eles tendem a ficar com a pele esverdeada quando no recebem comida o suficiente.

Zetas no so os controladores de seu prprio destino, eles so subservientes uma raa reptilnea. Os Zetas procuram liberdade para eles, e acreditam que possam conseguir isso na Terra, existem muitos que deserdam para trabalhar junto aos humanos a fim de conseguir essa liberdade, mas outros querem ser os mestres da Terra e controlar tudo aqui.

Os Zetas dividem-se em duas classes sociais, uma como HAWKISH (Falco, ave de rapina) e outra como DOVE-LIKE (parecido com pombo(no em aparncia, mas em atitude/perigo)), estes ltimos so mais capazes de fazer negcios com os humanos, so uma espcie de embaixadores, a outra mais guerreira, bruta. Os Zetas que deserdam ajudam os humanos a se prepararem para uma futura confrontao com os reptilians, que devem chegar numa espcie de asteride, trazendo cerca de 30 milhes de reptilians, que ir parar prximo Terra.

BELLATRAX GREYS


Os pequenos cinzas, so menores que os Zetas, e so de um sistema estelar prximo constelao Orion, eles so extremamente pequenos (45,2cm aproximadamente).

Os BELLATRAX GREYS e os ZETAS so parecidos geneticamente e provem da mesma linha gentica e so muito parecidos, exceto pela altura.

ORION GRAYS - ALTOS


A outra raa de Greys alta, com grande nariz. Eles possuem largo narizes e tm entre 2,13m a 2,43m de altura. Eles esto baseados nas Ilhas Aleutian e tambm j foram vistos na Rssia oriental. Essas criaturas so hostis, eles tentam nos influenciar utilizando governos, possuem tecnologia capaz de fazer coisas que para ns pareceria milagre.

Num caso na Rssia, uma mulher com uma perna deformada foi capturada por estes seres e foi liberada a milhares de milhas da onde fora capturada, s que sua perna estava perfeita, curada. Mas os aliengenas no curaram sua perna, eles transplantaram outra perna no lugar da antiga.

Os Orion grays do a impresso de serem benevolentes com os humanos, mas eles esto interessados mesmo em engenharia gentica e os humanos so como cobaias, eles querem obter o controle das massas atravs de negociaes com pessoas em altos cargos governamentais.

Outras Raas:



PLEIADES


Das raas esta a nica que merece confiana dos humanos, eles possuem grande desenvolvimento espiritual, so altos e possuem longos cabelos dourados, so aliados Confederao Galctica Espacial, contaram que diversos governos da Terra esto trabalhando com os Zeta Reticuli.

Alguns Pleiades so subservientes aos Zetas, pois estes costumam abduzir as crianas Pleiades e trein-las como servos.

Uma espcie de lei espacial, probe os Pleiades de interferir nos grandes acontecimentos da Terra, mas caso acontece por exemplo uma guerra atmica, e esta atinja grandes dimenses, os pleiades iro interferir, mas no acabar com a guerra, apenas diminuiro as conseqncias.

DRACO MOTHMEN


So aliengenas de habitat noturno, negros e possuem asas que habilitam-lhes o vo, visitaram muito a Terra no passado, possuem olhos vermelhos. Existem muitas lendas do passado, relacionando eles aos Grgulas, Valkrias e vampiros. Eles no gostam de atrair muita ateno para si mesmos.

DEROS/TEROS

So civilizaes aliengenas subterrneas. Os Teros so mais amigveis e ajudam os Deros que so mais impulsivos e dementes devido ao excessivo poder. Vivem em bases subterrneas ou subaquticas, muitas das lendas descrevem eles como Leprechauns e Trolls, so competidores com os Greys e possuem as mesmas qualidades e no merecem a confiana.

Tipos De Extraterrestres - Baseado Em Relatos E Dados Colhidos Na Internet

OS ALFA


Os seres humanides do tipo Alfa possuem uma morfologia semelhante nossa, podem ser comparados fisicamente estatura de uma criana que medir entre 0,90 e 1,40 metros, com uma grande cabea desproporcional. A testa alta poderia revelar um nvel intelectual bastante desenvolvido. Os olhos so geralmente grandes e encarquilhados, o que permite uma viso global e indica uma sensibilidade anormal luz. Tm uma fisiologia ainda mais espantosa quanto ao rosto; vrias vezes a ateno das testemunhas foi alertada para o seu estranho olhar. A cor dos olhos varia do negro ou azul-marinho at o vermelho vivo. De uma para outra observao, as orelhas se revelam praticamente inexistentes. O nariz pode tambm ser semelhante ao de um humano ou ento ser descrito como simples fendas. A boca se assemelha a uma fenda com lbios ou a um orifcio estriado; dependendo da expresso fisionmica. Os maxilares so normalmente pouco evidentes e tendem para um queixo pontiagudo. Quanto aos braos, so geralmente longos e magros com mos semelhantes s nossas. Responsveis pela maioria das abdues, estes seres costumam provocar grandes traumas em suas vtimas.

Quanto ao traje, geralmente esta categoria de ocupantes de OVNIs vista revestida com um traje metalizado, sem costuras, por vezes com uma espcie de escafandro.

O comportamento revelado por esta categoria parece ser o seguinte: assimilar as espcimes geolgicas e biolgicas selecionadas (compreendendo o ser humano). Ao se encontrarem com humanos se retiram calmamente, esforando-se por parecerem ao mesmo tempo curiosos e intimidados. Quando se lhes faz sinal, respondem, geralmente, com amabilidade. Quando os atrapalhamos em suas atividades, eles se utilizam por vezes de uma arma no mortfera. Geralmente, "raios de luz" que atordoam a testemunha at imobiliz-la e, neste caso, os efeitos psicolgicos perduram por um certo espao de tempo. As observaes de humanides do tipo Alfa raramente ocorrem luz do dia.

OS BETA


Os seres classificados como tipo Beta geralmente se apresentam em alturas no muito distantes dos 2 metros. Seu aspecto fsico se assemelha mais com um corpo verdadeiramente humano do que com o tpico humanide Alfa.

Descreve-se normalmente seu rosto como se fosse inteiramente de forma humana; mas, de modo curioso, sua fisionomia muito semelhante quela do tipo oriental. Em princpio sua tez escura ou tisnada.

Seu traje costuma ser composto de uma nica pea. Atuam principalmente atravs de canalizaes e mensagens telepticas; mostram-se preocupados com o ser humano, trazendo sempre mensagens de paz. Em alguns relatrios, estes seres so vistos juntos aos elementos do tipo Alfa. Muitos acreditam que estes seres sejam os mensageiros do Senhor descritos na bblia, pois alm das caractersticas fsicas e comportamentais, esto sempre pregando ensinamentos e desenvolvendo o lado espiritual do homem, j os seres do tipo Alfa mostram-se mais interessados no desenvolvimento cientfico.

OS GAMA


Os seres classificados como Gama, so aqueles que chegam a atingir os 3 metros de altura. Ainda no se tem muitos detalhes sobre os seres desta categoria pois os casos envolvendo os mesmos so extremamente raros e com relatos no muito ricos em qualidade de informaes. Duas caractersticas comuns observadas em alguns dos contatos com os Gama so: a presena de um nico olho bem ao centro da testa e tambm de supostos aparelhos respiratrios.

Sua atuao neste planeta parece ter diminudo gradativamente com o passar do tempo. Os dados obtidos sobre estes seres tornam inevitvel a sua comparao com os mitolgicos gigantes ciclopes, tendo em vista o nmero de mitos e crenas que, devido presena de estranhos visitantes, foram criadas pelos antigos povos de todo o mundo; civilizaes distintas que tinham em comum, o fascnio pelos "mistrios" celestiais.

OS DELTA


Alguns ocupantes do tipo Delta costumam agredir fisicamente as testemunhas. Casos de ataques destes seres terminam levando as vtimas postos policiais onde registram um boletim de ocorrncia. Porm nem todos os seres classificados como Delta tm este comportamento; suas caractersticas parecem indicar um intelectual no muito elevado, prximo a um simiano terrestre. Costumam medir entre 1,40 e 1,60 metros, os olhos geralmente so grandes e em tonalidades avermelhadas, seu aspecto fsico parece bastante primitivo com o corpo coberto de pelos ou "escamas". Mas como eles puderam chegar at aqui se no so to avanados? A ufologia supe que sejam uma espcie de sonda-viva, um animal treinado para coletar amostras de solo, plantas e etc., algo comparvel uma "Laika" extraterrena.

OS MEGA


Nesta ltima, esto os seres luminosos, energticos. Suas aparies no so muito comuns e os registros so raros pelo fato de que estes freqentemente so confundidos com "fantasmas", "aparies religiosas" ou at mesmo espritos. Estas m interpretaes dificultam o trabalho dos uflogos pois uma pequena parte dos casos chegam ao conhecimento dos mesmos. Dificilmente, uma pessoa que v uma imagem luminosa desta natureza ir procurar uma explicao junto a uma instituio de ufologia.

Ufo The Motion Picture Script Part 5
Following the dramatization of Mantell's plane crash, both the script and movie remain mostly faithful to one another as the story of the Air Force's "Project Sign" implementation is narrated. The major difference comes about when a brief interview with American Airlines pilot Capt. Willis T. Sperry appears in the film. The script itself carries no mention of Sperry whatsoever at this point, so we may assume that negotiations for Sperry's participation were finalized closer to the time of actual production. Though Sperry later claimed there were no problems in getting permission from American Airlines to recount his UFO encounter on camera, one wonders if, at least, second thoughts made the corporate rounds when word that a commercial pilot was actually going to "tell all" about a highly intriguing UFO event became obvious. From the way Sperry posed in full pilot attire near a runway with an aircraft as a backdrop, we might almost think that American Airlines looked forward to publicity on the big screen -- and surely that would be an anomaly, considering the tight-lipped manner in which the major airlines generally reacted to UFO encounters in the fifties (particularly when close approaches resulting in evasive action and passenger panic or injuries occurred), fearful that "saucers" could scare away the flying public. Nevertheless, acquiring Sperry for a segment in "U.F.O." was a definite bonus and helped tremendously to infuse the authenticity necessary for a documentary approach. Unlike the labored Mantell scenes, Captain Sperry's story was laid out in about 90 seconds, and this segment, filmed in an airport environment, must have looked spectacular to the curious on a 1956 theater screen.The scenes move swiftly at this point, and as quickly as the audience is told of Project Sign's origin, a narrator states the agency was soon terminated. Of some interest, in the movie we are told, "On January 9, 1950, the press reported that Project Sign was closed. From now on, the Air Force stated, its only similar activity would be the routine, conventional watch for unidentified flying objects." However, the script varies here, informing us in these words: "On January 9, 1950, the press reported that the Air Force announced that Project Sign, including pictures of flying saucers, none of them genuine, will be placed on public exhibition in the Pentagon."

Kentucky Weirdness
Some time ago, I was contacted by a guy named Bart Nunnelly, a fellow seeker of all-things-strange. Bart was deep in the process of writing his book, "Mysterious Kentucky: The History, Mystery and Unexplained of the Bluegrass State".

Bart sent me some extracts from his manuscript and asked if I would be willing to add a blurb of endorsement to the book. Well, after having digested the material, I quickly said yes. Fans of the paranormal will find much of interest in the book's pages, as will those with a fascination for the state's mysterious history, Edgar Cayce, Fortean fish-falls, vampires and more.

UFOs feature heavily, too. Early tales of mystery airships and strange lights in the sky set the scene for what is to come, including: a striking 1993 event involving the Jefferson County Police Force; the "Liberty Abduction" case (a reported alien abduction event involving three women - Louise Smith, Mona Stafford and Elaine Thomas) of 1976; the controversial death in 1948 of military pilot Captain Thomas Mantell; and a classic Men in Black-type encounter from 1966. And, of course, no book that details the many and varied UFO encounters in Kentucky can afford to ignore the famous Kelly, Hopkinsville case of August 1955 that can best be described as Close Encounters of the Third Kind meets Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.

"And what of cryptozoology?" I hear you ask.

Well, you ain't gonna be disappointed - not at all.

Bart's book contains some highly intriguing data on Bigfoot, werewolves, lake-monsters, lizard-men, goat-men and more. It also contains some fascinating information on Bart's (and his family's) own encounters with mystery critters - some of which offer theories to explain the Bigfoot puzzle that extend much further than the realm of straightforward flesh-and-blood entities.

The book is packed with photos and excellent drawings from Bart (who is a highly talented artist), and skillfully weaves a picture of Kentucky as a state rich in folklore, mysteries, dark woods full of fantastic beasts, and monstrous creatures roaming the countryside by night.

"Mysterious Kentucky" is an excellent book from an author who demonstrates a great affection and love for his home state, first-class knowledge of his subject matter, and a highly entertaining writing style.


Hamilton Ontario Elongated Tube Silver Grey Changes To Green And Orange

Aliens M N O And P
Why do some of MUFON's gallery of alien entities rate both a head view and a full-body view? Why do entities M and P get two pictures while entities N and O only get the one? We will probably never know, which is good, because that opens the door to wild speculation."It's not as if the full-body views of entities M and P really add any worthwhile new information. Do I want to see entity M's choice of sleepwear? No. Do I care that entity P has discovered the lie around, lounge around pleasures of Forever Lazy"? Please. Does any of this information help us get to the bottom of the UFO enigma? Not one bit.And yet, there is more information, and, thus, greater impact, in two images then there is in one. So why are the extra images there for some entities, but not for all? To me, this is nothing less than "subliminal manipulation". In my opinion, the MUFON Staff Artist includes extra views of certain entities because he knows this will make more UFO witnesses identify those aliens as the one they encountered. That would mean that MUFON's entire alien entity identification database, if such a thing actually exists, which it must, is fatally flawed. I bet that if I asked the MUFON archivist, if such a thing actually exists, which it must, how many of each of the 16 alien entity types shown in the MUFON Field Investigator's Manual have been identified by UFO witnesses, we would find that the entities with two views are picked far more often than those that are not.Meanwhile, poor, inexplicable entities N and O must never get chosen at all. Which makes sense in any case, because they're both extraordinarily mental, even by MUFON's standards.Looking deeper into the imagery, though, we find that the two views of entity M are gazing admiringly at each other, as if this entity was from a planet "of narcissists"... Entity N has eyes, "but do they see?" Entity O is staring intently at entity P, seemingly envious of P's Forever Lazy (which, not surprisingly, comes in "grey").I am also convinced that there is a hidden message in entity P's strange traffic cop stance. Is P telling us to "halt" our investigations into the UFO phenomenon? Forever Lazy in "Asleep On The Job Grey." It' s very comfortable, right up until the moment you disintegrate.

Evidence of past water movement throughout a Martian meteorite, reviving debate in the scientific community over life on Mars, has been disdcovered by a team of scientists at NASA'sJohnson Space Center in Houston and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In 1996, a group of scientists at Johnson led by David McKay, Everett Gibson and Kathie Thomas-Keprta published an article in"Science" announcing the discovery of biogenic evidence in the Allan Hills 84001(ALH84001) meteorite. In this new study, Gibson and his colleagues focused on structures deep within a 30-pound (13.7-kilogram) Martian meteorite known as Yamato 000593 (Y000593). The team reports that newly discovered different structures and compositional features within the larger Yamato meteorite suggest biological processes might have been at work on Mars hundreds of millions of years ago.Analyses found that the rock was formed about 1.3 billion years ago from a lava flow on Mars. Around 12 million years ago, an impact occurred on Mars which ejected the meteorite from the surface of Mars. The meteorite traveled through space until it fell in Antarctica about 50,000 years ago. The rock was found on the Yamato Glacier in Antarctica by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition in 2000. The meteorite was classified as a nakhlite, a subgroup of Martian meteorites. Martian meteoritic material is distinguished from other meteorites and materials from Earth and the moon by the composition of the oxygen atoms within the silicate minerals and trapped Martian atmospheric gases."While robotic missions to Mars continue to shed light on the planet's history, the only samples from Mars available for study on Earth are Martian meteorites," said White. "On Earth, we can utilize multiple analytical techniques to take a more in-depth look into meteorites and shed light on the history of Mars. These samples offer clues to the past habitability of this planet. As more Martian meteorites are discovered, continued research focusing on these samples collectively will offer deeper insight into attributes which are indigenous to ancient Mars. Furthermore, as these meteorite studies are compared to present day robotic observations on Mars, the mysteries of the planet's seemingly wetter past will be revealed."The team found two distinctive sets of features associated with Martian-derived clay. They found tunnel and micro-tunnel structures that thread their way throughout Yamato 000593. The observed micro-tunnels display curved, undulating shapes consistent with bio-alteration textures observed in terrestrial basaltic glasses, previously reported by researchers who study interactions of bacteria with basaltic materials on Earth


Michael Horn The American Media Representative For Swiss Ufo
"February 4, 2011 - Stephen Bassett is no matter which special, i speed up since he most clearly, took break down in the in name only X-Conference 2009 on April 19, 2009, in Gaithersburg, MD, and mechanical importantly what he sure last Majestic. The conference was neat by himself who's in the same way a congressional leader of the opposition, and was all about pressuring the government to divide up what it knows. The following day, he in the same way motivated the Obama release to display what the U. S. government knows about extraterrestrial acquaintances taking into consideration the human people. Bunch presenter, Stephen Bassett, is now rapidly steady to release unarguable evidence of "THE ENTIRE EXTRATERRESTRIAL APPARITION", "MILLIONS OF UFO CONTACTEE`S ON THE PLANET" and "ALIEN-HUMAN HYBRID LITTER" in prospect be over in Los Angeles.

It's reported that Stephen Bassett, the presenter for the Exopolitics UFO group, incentive the boards unarguable evidence" to prove that extraterrestrials are contacting millions of run on Alight, and notwithstanding abducting and impregnating women taking into consideration "ALIEN-HUMAN HYBRID LITTER" - and that our government knows about it. The ground breaking proof incentive be the countenance of Bassett's display trade fair on the interest at the due named Above ground Fine china Cafe in Santa Monica, Friday, February 4. Stephen Bassett is Administrator Overseer of X-PPAC, the Extraterrestrial Marvel Enthusiast Shove Administration, and the emphatically registered client taking into consideration the U.S. Assembly on behalf of the Extraterrestrial town.

Michael Horn, the American Media pawn for Swiss UFO contacted, Billy Meier, incentive be on hand to whiff effortlessness and learn the evidence. "I'm very far-flung looking deal with to seeing what Stephen and his group incentive the boards, being I squeeze been sympathetically vital of their so far unsubstantiated claims for vivacity. It may highly regarded expensive for me to say it but I'm a flying saucer unbeliever about such thump as scores of in name only '"aliens"' fair walking various, trembling hands taking into consideration everybody and in receipt of very manageable taking into consideration our female populace. "Stephen was incapable to the boards any actual, palpable evidence to grasp his claims at the first trade fair so this require be the crux that everyone's been waiting for. I reflect on that Ryan Morris, the carrier of the cafe, in the same way wishes him to squeeze a display anticipation to put the evidence on the table and repair the harsh questions he couldn't last time.

"Since he's in the past privately reputed that the Billy Meier UFO contact case is unsullied, I likelihood Stephen to divide up proof opposite number to Meier's loose-fitting, scientifically real evidence. And maybe he'll in the same way explain why he's never sympathetically reputed, let at sea investigated and vetoed the Meier case, the emphatically one I do convey to be an unsullied, tranquil present UFO contact case. "The exopolitics group has been at the center of some controversies up to that time, so I'm sure that Stephen incentive welcome a strong, hunger unhurried object in the company of us. I map if thump get doubtful on Friday night a helpful sighting or two - of the secret military craft UFOs that pretense as queer UFOs - could helpfully qualify," held Horn. Minute i do as you all convey by now NOT inflexible taking into consideration the authenticity in the Billy Meir case. But in addition this it could be truthful exciting.source: reinep.wordpress.com


Mufon Report Of 1992 Connection Between Human Intentionalities Death And The Greys
AS CLOCKERS KNOW, ONE OF THE REASONS I `RE-STARTED' MY STRANGE UFO VIDEOS BLOG WAS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE INCREASING NATURE OF `OLD-TIME HIGH STRANGENESS, UFO ACCOUNTS' - "THAT SEEM TO BE STREAMING FORTH TO THE UFO REPORTING WEBSITES. "GENERALLY, THESE ARE ACCOUNTS STRETCHING BACK DECADES "IF NOT SCORES OF YEARS," AND HAVE OFTEN SUPPOSEDLY NEVER BEEN TOLD TO ANYONE OR JUST THE CLOSEST OF FAMILY. AS I'VE SEEN MORE AND MORE OF THESE ACCOUNTS IN THE MUFON `LATEST' REPORTS - IT'S REALLY A NEW WRINKLE ON OLD PERCEPTIONS IN MANY WAYS IMO.

ANYWAY, THIS AMAZING UFO STORY WAS ON APRIL 10TH, 1992 - AND A VERY DEPRESSED PERSON HAS DECIDED TO END THEIR LIFE, ALONE, IN A REMOTE WILDERNESS AREA. AND, AFTER MAKING PEACE WITH THEIR SELF IS READY TO DO THE SELF-IMPOSED DEED.............. WHEN.........

The Brazilian Government Orders To Record Sightings Of Ufos
Strange but true: on UFO must record a new and significant position of a government. Rather, in the case of Brazil there is something more: a measure official and once operational, del quale ha riferito la BBC nella sezione America Latina del suo sito online.

The administration of Brasilia Air Force has ordered that henceforth meticulously records each sighting of unidentified flying objects. The ratio of all that unusual that you will notice,should be as detailed as possible: Also included will be any video footage and photographs. Will be involved in the transaction well as civilian pilots and traffic controllers: i dati raccolti saranno conservati a Rio de Janeiro e messi a disposizione degli scienziati e dei ricercatori.

The Air Force has made available, unless specified, which will simply record: no words will order the pilots groped the engagement with UFOs (Perhaps not a bad idea) and will not deal with cases to investigate specific research, non avendo le strutture adatte per farlo.

The UFO phenomenon has been some escalation in Brazil. Nella storia ci sono almeno due episodi mai veramente chiariti.

The first dates back to 1986: it was the Air Force deal, since some had to jet off on alarm from a base of St. Paul; in cielo erano apparsi oggetti dalla natura e dal comportamento stranissimi.

Nine years before, instead, in the Amazonian town of Vigia had been a collective case,cataloged in a middle way between the close encounters of the third and fourth types (che contemplano l'abduction, that is, the kidnapping of the victim): Some residents claimed that they were attacked by beings who could not land, nel senso di umani o animali.

Finally, Recently the newspaper "Day" published the testimony of an air traffic controller: "The sightings were reported at the highest level; I know that many ministers and even a former President of the Republic have admitted to seeing UFOs".

What is true? For the avoidance of doubt, gli ufologi brasiliani hanno gi`a chiesto che tutta la documentazione che sar`a raccolta venga resa pubblica cos`i com'`e. Senza filtri e attese.

Ufo Sighting In Redmond Washington On September 22Nd 2013 Ufo Hovering 20 Minutes
UFO SIGHTING IN REDMOND, WASHINGTON ON SEPTEMBER 22ND 2013 - UFO HOVERING 20 MINUTES

I observed the craft while standing in my garage door entry-way at approximately 8pm. The UFO initially passed over my home in a westward (east to west) direction. I initially noticed the object as it was very bright white in color. It had no strobes like a helicopter or airplane. I had expected it to be a plane or helicopter at initial glance. I watched its flight path thinking it was just going to continue on as most usual aircraft do when passing but this craft stopped and stayed in one location and hovered for about 15-20 minutes and did not move from the location. I did not take my eyes off of it. I have personally observed helicopters hovering but usually they change location of hover and give a very distinctive rotor sound. This craft had no sound. I live in a heavily wooded area and I could see that its position did not change because I could gauge its location/movement against the trees/branches it was above. I estimated the craft to be less than 1000ft from the ground. The object was diamond in shape, white top and bottom with the center pulsating and omitting a bright bluish white light. The weather was rainy with light cloud cover. I could initially see the object with no clouds surrounding it yet there was enough light to see some clouds pass in front of it on occasion. The object seemed to change shape from roundish fuzzy white exterior to a more distinct diamond shape. I had gone to retrieve my cell phone and binoculars to see it or photograph it. I could not get a clear enough photo with my cell phone due to the darkness and limited distance magnification. I was able to observe the craft through low magnification binoculars but could not make any further determination than seeing it with the naked eye. I do have 20/20 vision. I lost sight of the object after returning from inside my house after the initial 20 minutes of it being there.

OCTOBER 22, 2013 - SPACE - There's nothing quite as simultaneously awe-inspiring and humbling as gazing at the starry sky and coming to terms with your own fleeting role in the cosmos.

Is there anybody out there? (basheertome / flickr)

Science journalist Lee Billings sets the stage for his first book, "Five Billion Years of Solitude," with this very thought, describing how he, and many of the scientists he interviews, first fell in love with the heavens. But it is a love letter to a place we may never reach. As our telescopes become ever more powerful, Billings writes, the universe appears to be receding before humanity's outstretched hands, while the pressing problems of life on Earth draw our gaze, and our ambitions, down from the skies.

"Solitude" is a "meditation on humanity's uncertain legacy," as the 20th century's space race and boom years have given way to manmade terrestrial crises that have not only hampered space exploration, but made clear how the only life we know hangs fragilely in the balance. Billings literally brings the stars down to earth, as he connects the dots between geology, biology, astrophysics, engineering, and economics. Fracking, it turns out, has an awful lot to do with searching for E.T. with radio telescopes. Single-pixel measurements of the chemical "color" of alien planets' atmospheres can tell us a lot about their ability to harbor life, and can also inform us about where our own planet came from - and where it's going.

Much of the discussion in the book centers on habitability - what makes Earth unique in the solar system and (so far) the galaxy, how planetary conditions have changed, how it will all end billions of years from now (cooked alive by an engorged Sun, followed by darkness and nothingness), and how we can predict the number of other civilizations there might be out there using what is known as the Drake Equation.

The equation's many terms, Billings explains, can be boiled down to just one: L, or a civilization's longevity. Possible outcomes seem to be one of two extremes: a (cosmically) relatively short-lived civilization that may succumb to self-annihilation, or a civilization that transcends its squabbles, its planet, and itself, harvesting the energy of entire stars as it travels through the universe, near-immortal.

It is no accident that Billings here carefully dwells on the orchids raised by Frank Drake, a giant in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI. Tended correctly, these flowers can live in perpetuity, yet each individual bloom is short-lived, much like the radio frequency visibility window of our planet, which is now largely closed thanks to the adoption of digital communications and fiber optics.

The radio telescope-based search for extraterrestrials, once fueled by the optimism of Drake and the late Carl Sagan among others, has given way to the current en vogue field of exoplanetology, which seems poised to discover habitable Earth-like worlds any day now. That is, says Billings, if it weren't for infighting, shifting organizational and funding priorities, and other failings that make us human. The dust jacket description and introduction hype this fraught narrative, which the rest of the book doesn't quite fully deliver. The cutting-edge climate science, optics, and chemical detection techniques being used by the exoplanet hunters, however, are described in thorough and clear detail.

Billings oscillates between character-driven chapters - the personal histories, egos, and rivalries of prominent scientists - and longer narratives on the geologic history of earth and the cosmos. At times "Solitude" reads like a eulogy for the SETI titans of the 1960s and 1970s, while expressing tentative hope for both the current exoplanet boom, and our collective will to keep searching. Space dreams are continually brought back to their roots in earth science; a fairly large chunk of the book is devoted to fostering an appreciation for the "interactions of air, water, rock and sunlight" that created the thermodynamic sweet spot of Earth.

In "Solitude," Billings uses deft descriptions and dazzling wordplay, though at times the language can appear dense. One chapter in particular is littered with a few too many acronyms to keep track of: a seemingly endless list of ambitious, bloated, and consequently shuttered projects that suffered from the downturn of the early 2000s. The glories of the Space Age are briefly revisited, and those familiar with SETI history will recognize seminal events in the field - the Green Bank conference, the Arecibo message - but will also note the absence of some of its most well-known figures, like former SETI Institute director Jill Tarter.

The timing of "Solitude's" October 3 release couldn't be better. Not only does there appear to be renewed public interest in space, with the success of the Curiosity rover, the confirmation of the Voyager 1 probe's solar system exit, and the impending launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, but one of the book's protagonists, MIT astrophysicist Sara Seager, just last week received a MacArthur "genius grant." Seager is introduced relatively late in the book, and in describing her path from canoeing the barren lands of Canada to the study of the barren cosmos, Billings indulges in a triumphalist crescendo that rounds out the book.

The big question - what's next, not just in space but here on Earth - is, of necessity, left unanswered, as it is unknown to scientist, author, and reader alike. Rather than rousing spirits and making a grand call for renewed vigor in space exploration, "Solitude" succumbs to a denouement similar to that of the shuttle program it laments. The descriptions of setbacks, ignorance, and death are not gratuitous, though. Billings knows that it is only through meditating on these that we can seize this singular moment in human history and become "momentarily eternal." - FOX NEWS.

Alien Abduction Story Australian Family 1958 2010
Hi, my name is Ron Arnold I am a retired Lecturer once employed by the Government Now attending to the finer things in life including relaxation and taking things easy in general.

My story commences from the time I was 7 years old in 1958 at our family property situated in an area known as Tuart Hill. It all started when during the very early hours of a mid summers morning and whilst My Father, Mother and Brother & myself were asleep on our front veranda. I remember being awakened and propping myself up to see what looked like a star that seemed to descend to a landing in our front yard, We had a very long front yard from the house itself to the main road approximately 300 yards And the width of the block size was about 50+ yards. As I watched this Star like craft land it became a disc shaped object. It may be worth while to point out that before this encounter I had no understanding of Alien life or UFO craft no knowledge of anything remotely to do with this subject. I had never heard people talking about the subject nor did I ever have any comics or written material that would have given me any pre conceived thoughts regarding this phenomenon.

As I watched this craft land some 70 to 100 meters away from myself and my family I began to stand up I remember turning and looking down at my Father, Mother Brother who were all asleep and then looking back towards the craft it was at this time I was greeted by two beings about the same size of myself at that time they were warm and friendly and I was finding myself being lead away with them towards their craft,I still don't recall what happened forward of this point only that I found myself back with my family standing looking up at the stars. I remember thinking Gosh I feel so tired and went back to sleep, from that time I've always been fascinated with the stars and always looking for one that unlike the others moved rapidly with zig -zagging flight pattern to match what I had witnessed early that morning of what was to become very important later in life. From the age of (7) the thoughts were confusing to me of this event and so I decided not to discuss this with my family because I did not want to feel foolish as my experience even though very unusual was perhaps a little crazy to say the least.

The thoughts of that morning kept coming back to me haunting me, I became restless tormented by the event and my unwillingness to talk about it. This affected my sleep and consequently my concentration at school as I would be found day dreaming in class this had reached an all time high when my school teacher contacted my Mother and informed her of my day dreaming episodes in class. My Mother having enough of this took me to a local doctor to see if I could maybe given sleeping pills to assist my sleeping, the doctor agreed however, he said I believe that there is an underlying factor that is causing your son to react this way and that this should be investigated.

Around 12 months had passed from this time when I was taken by my Mother to a child psychologist at Princess Margaret Hospital In Perth I remember this doctor asking every which way he could to find out what was causing this problem along with a few tests that he applied as my Mother thought I was not right mentally speaking, after about an hour the doctor Asked for my Mother to re enter his room along with myself being present he informed my Mother that I was perfectly normal as normal could be so after we had returned home I tried to apply myself to my studies and be a better son for my Mother & Father whilst at the same time being on sleeping pills and keeping my Alien experience to myself.

I had all but stopped taking the sleeping pills after a further 12 months and that's when weird things started to unfold during my sleep state. I started having re occurring dreams these were not normal dreams these were like premonitions of coming events as each time I would start to have one of these re occurring dreams it would progressively get more disturbing until I reached the end of what now seemed to be a warning. Even to this day I still feel the pins and needles effect even by simply writing about this for at the age of 13 years I was shown the horrific death of one of my cousins, and how it was going to happen even so much as the chapel to where his remains would be laid out for every one to say goodbye I felt I was in this coming event as a witness I could see everything I new the colour of his casket that I had noted as being covered with a see through cloth to assist in hiding some of his facial injuries, I had even walked down the Isle of the chapel I knew the location of the undertakers everything!.

I was so head strong about this information I wanted to inform my cousin and his Father (my Uncle) of the coming event and I remember saying to my Mother many times I have to tell them and each time I was told NO! You wont say a word as they will think you are mad and you will cause embarrassment for your Father and me being my (Mother) so each time we would visit I respected my Mothers wishes and said nothing I felt so awful knowing what was going to happen and yet I said nothing this was so much of a torment for me that I found myself back on the sleeping pills again to stop this re occurring dream and after about 6 months it all stopped so I stopped taking the pills to assist in my sleep.

Then like a script in a movie at the age of 16, some 3 and a bit years later I received word that my cousin had been killed in a road accident all details had matched what I had repeatedly told my Mother years earlier, I felt sickened that I was not permitted to inform my cousin nor my Uncle of the pending doom and as I approached the doorstep of the undertakers with my mother along side me as (in my dreams) I reminded her and said I told you repeatedly and you refused to let me tell them she replied I know you did, I now carry that guilt with me for the rest of my life.

As for the alien encounters this started again with a large orange ball that my Mother and I both witnessed on the way to my work one morning it was so fascinating I had all my work mates come out of the building to where I worked and they also witnessed it shaking there heads with confusion to what it was. Everything seemed to end at this stage until I was in my mid 30s when the aliens returned they arrived to collect me one hot summers morning at approximately 2 am I know this because I had awoken and noticed the red led digits on my bedside clock.

I was absorbed from my bed up into a craft and placed at a venue that I had never been before that was in a car park, the next thing I noticed was that I was not the only person gathered as I walked through a crowd of about 25-30 people I stood along side a person in a white coat I felt this person was of the medical profession as I looked at him I said where am I?, what am I doing here? he answered, "You are lucky to have been chosen" and then his eyes went back to the direction that everyone else was looking toward I started assessing where I was geographically speaking as I could see a beacon glowing in the distance it suddenly dawned on me that we were all not far away from Perth air port in fact north of Perth airport and later discovering the location was about 45 kms from my home in Two Rocks.

With the others around me we watched a small light become larger as it came toward us as it hovered above us a brilliant flash was encountered and I found myself and everyone else inside the building that we were all outside of a split second earlier. Whilst inside I began mentally noting everything the makings on the floor, the construction in general and things that I could Identify with and needless to say noting the activity unfolding all around me as there were people walking and talking and being greeted by these much shorter beings I was watching this unfold when I too was greeted by two short alien like creatures one of them handed me a gift of remembrance it was a gift that was left under our family Christmas tree when I was (7) years of age my Mother had no idea who left it there as there was no card apart from my name " Ronnie" at the time we were all confused to who had left this for me.

All of a sudden as my arms were opened out to accept this gift from the aliens a video played in my mind I was shown the first meeting that I had locked away all this time how they came down in the front yard and how I turned to see my Father, my Mother and my Brother asleep and how they greeted me, I was overwhelmed as my eyes dropped and looked around I noted there was another alien crouched down behind me absorbing all my thoughts it felt wrong that this creature was capturing everything I was feeling and thinking I felt a sort of violation so much so that I dropped the gift of which was a Cricket Bat have you been prodding yourself with a needle or something sharp my son replied no and that he had no idea how the markings got there.

It was triangular in shape and consisted of many needle imprints with-in this shape this was to be the first encounter for my eldest son. It was only short space of time after my sons abduction to when he was enjoying a family sunday roast that he began choking on something that was lodged in his throat as he made his way to the bathroom coughing, I was very close behind him and noted hearing a pinging sound as this object and passed from him to the sink I grabbed it and to my amazement it was like nothing I had ever seen before. It was at this time that I decided to make some phone calls to see who I could talk too regarding these things that were starting to upset our family.

I had found a person dealing with this phenomenon as he had dedicated his life to investigating Alien abduction cases. He said to me that he could see that this was an issue of quite some concern and that if I was prepared to oblige with his requests that he would most certainly investigate my case. This man is well respected in academic circles and is known as Professor; John Frodulim of Murdock University Perth Western Australia. So it was I attended various places to be evaluated to make sure I was not on medication or mentally unstable in anyway and further to this I had the object or (implant) that was now in my possession photographed using a very powerful Microscope at Curtain University and the results were also surprising whilst there was blood shown on the object there was a metal breakdown conducted that had given a result of a metal not commonly found in the world in fact there was only one location that this metal was known to be and that was in in Switzerland and it was used for computer componentry this became even more interesting as at that time in 1992 we did not own a computer and my son or our family members in general had no access to one.

I was determined to find out more about this object that I turned to the West Australian Meat Industry for answers as the chance that it may have come from a the leg of lamb roast was suggested. The item was carefully examined by four different persons with in the Meat Industry and each had said that they had never seen anything like it before so now we have the original photographs as produced by Curtain University and no one has been able to identify the origin of the object that my son had coughed out. My sons encounters would continue up to 2008. In the meantime after explaining what these beings looked like along with their craft my wife said I have never seen anything like what your describing so I cant begin to understand. She didn't have to wait very long as it was only a few days later when two of the disc shaped craft were flying above our back yard I had everyone come outside to witness both the craft flying around each other they were approximately 300 meters above the ground, this lasted for about 6 minutes and also as we were to later discover witnessed by others in the area of Two Rocks this happened in summer of 1992 and was to continue again 1994 to when a younger son was taken from the arms of my wife who explained that I was in a trance like state as our younger son was taken, at first she could not move but when she was able to gain her strength to move she got up and ventured out on the balcony of our home and noted two disc objects floating above the ground across the road from our house of which is all beach front land.

Since then the aliens had returned to show me my clone of which had completely shocked me and it was my reaction that they were studying for what ever the reason behind it. While they had just shown me my clone they also had shown me the future of pending doom for the coastal area where my house was located they had shown me a gigantic wave that came up from the ocean and went over the top of our house this was a repeating message like the message that kept repeating about my cousin, needless to say after seeing this feeling this many times we sold our house and have since moved from that property and yet we continue to have more encounters concerning another son that was a New born when the last encounter had happened in 1994 with his slightly older brother altogether (3) sons have been targeted in my family and the girls have not had the same experiences even though one of my daughters had also witnessed the discs when they were hovering about 2 meters from the ground even though others tend to think your unbalanced or just plain mad for talking about such things I have come to the conclusion that this is there choice as my case has been fully investigated and no one has been able to inform us of anything different to what our truthful experiences have and are giving us.

Even though our case had been recreated and was viewed across Australian television only part of the story is shown as with these few pages I have felt necessary to type because if people with true experiences can keep coming forward regardless of the ridicule and name calling others seem compelled to do, others in the same position will also be as candid and come forth so as we can develop an understanding rather then fobbing it all off as fairy tales. You will never begin to understand the truth unless you can evaluate the situation and to evaluate you need the facts and the evidence in support of, of which I have both. Does this make me mentally challenged or even insane? or does this place me apart from those who seek wealth my eldest son had been shown the birth of a daughter that was to be a still born quite sometime before it actually happened that continues to haunt him.

It would appear that we are given information of the future for a reason and I believe that reason is to prepare us for what is going to happen. There are many things I had been shown that are yet to take place in the future and now my eldest son has also been subjected to these visions that with out a doubt will take place in the future as both my eldest son and I have already encounted some of these visions that have in fact happened quite sometime later.

NOTABLE QUOTES ABOUT UFOs BY ASTRONAUTS, COSMONAUTS AND PILOTS

"It followed us during half of our orbit. We observed it on the light side, and when we entered the shadow side, it disappeared completely. It was an engineered structure, made from some type of metal, approximately 40 meters long with inner hulls. The object was narrow here and wider here, and inside there were openings. Some places had projections like small wings. The object stayed very close to us. We photographed it, and our photos showed it to be 23 to 28 meters away. Many cosmonauts have seen phenomena which are far beyond the experiences of earthmen. For ten years I never spoke on such things. The encounter you asked me about happened on May 5, 1981, at about 6 PM, during the Saljut Mission. At that time we were over the area of South Africa, moving towards the area of the Indian ocean. I just made some gymnastic exercises, when I saw in front of me, through a porthole, an object which I could not explain. It is impossible to determine distances in Space. A small object can appear large and far away and the other way around. Sometimes a cloud of dust appears like a large object. Anyway, I saw this object and then something happened I could not explain, something impossible according to the laws of Physics. The object had this shape, elliptical, and flew with us. From a frontal view it looked like it would rotate in flight direction. It only flew straight, but then a kind of explosion happened, very beautiful to watch, of golden light. This was the first part. Then, one or two seconds later, a second explosion followed somewhere else and two spheres appeared, golden and very beautiful. After this explosion I just saw white smoke, then a cloud-like sphere. Before we entered the darkness, we flew through the terminator, the twilight-zone between day and night. We flew eastwards, and when we entered the darkness of the Earth shadow, I could not see them any longer. The two spheres never returned."Cosmonaut Victor Afanasyev commenting on a UFO sighting that occurred while en route to the Solyut 6 space station in April of 1979.
