Hallan un insecto 'extraterrestre' atrapado en ámbar que vivió hace 100 millones de años (VIDEO)

Un científico de la Universidad Estatal de Oregón halla un insecto prehistórico atrapado en una pieza de ámbar en Myanmar que presenta características completamente singulares.

George Poinar, científico de la Universidad Estatal de Oregón (EE.UU.), ha publicado en el portal 'ScienceDirect' un artículo sobre su hallazgo de un insecto desconocido atrapado en una pieza de ámbar en Myanmar, que se ha convertido en la primera especie de un orden biológico completamente nuevo, pues no guarda ninguna semejanza con todos los existentes.

Poinar admite que "no dio crédito a lo que veían sus ojos" cuando descubrió esta hembra de insecto que ya ha sido nombrada como 'Aethiocarenus burmanicus'. El animal presenta una cabeza grande y triangular, patas largas y un cuerpo estrecho.

El científico presupone que el animal vivió hace unos 100 millones de años y que, probablemente, fue omnívoro. Asimismo, podía girar la cabeza casi 180 grados, una peculiaridad que el experto califica de "extremadamente inusual", pues aunque existen especies de insectos que mueven la cabeza de esa forma, solo pueden hacerlo verticalmente.

Poinar comenta que la forma de la cabeza del insecto le pareció semejante a la del protagonista extraterrestre de la película 'ET' dirigida por Steven Spielberg. Según Poinar, en Halloween se fabricó una máscara con el aspecto de la cabeza de este insecto, y asustó tanto con ella a unos niños que vinieron a pedirle caramelos que tuvo que quitársela.

 

Ancient Aztec artifacts have been presented in Mexico

Ancient artifacts have been presented recently from Ojuelos de Jalisco, Mexico. It is a small place with a population of around 12,000 people. What these artifacts represent, is further proof pointing to the existence of extraterrestrials. It is believed that these are the work of the Aztecs. Many of these stone carvings point to UFOs and alien depictions seen in each etching.

This was initiated by families who are related to the Aztec people. They decided to bring their personal collections together; to discuss and further examine the believed alien visitor carvings. Many do believe that aliens have frequently visited and/or live here on Earth with us. What is seen is quite remarkable - as the details show elongated faces and large eyes of beings from other worlds.

The items have been created from precious stones and metals including both gold and copper. Looking at some of the artifacts, clearly one can see what appears to be both comets flying through the sky along with a type of spaceship. It is believed that these beings had great technology and perhaps even shared some of it with civilizations around Earth.

It does seem far fetched to think that all the technology we have was just randomly learned by humans. The ancient Aztecs had a vast empire and was well advanced for its time period. Some of the techniques included both irrigation methods and architecture created unlike anything seen before. The buildings were far more advanced during this period of Earth. Much more has yet to be found and many secrets from the past remain there until time travel becomes openly available for all.

One can question the authenticity of these Aztec pieces, but honestly who really knows for sure unless you were actually there. With carbon dating, perhaps more information can be estimated at least. These pieces are priceless as relics from the past and should be displayed in museums for all to see. Appraisers should say they are simply priceless. There appears to be a glaze used upon the stone surface, that is not in fact glaze but rather an ancient method used to seal the stones.

Perhaps this gives these artifacts more credibility overall. With so many of these etchings showing space travel, it really makes you wonder what people may have encountered here on Earth many years ago. People at this get together have concluded, that these carvings do show flying saucer spaceships among alien beings. To the Aztec ancestors, they must have thought of them as gods of some sort. A few of the carvings depict the artifacts in a rather angelic way. The artifacts number well into four hundred or more. Each of them may hold further answers to histories past progression and future.

NASA Confirms Extraterrestrial Life Does Exist On Other Planets

That's the amazing news that space boffins at NASA have confirmed this week. The US space agency has spoken for the first time about life on other planets and they are certain it DOES exist. Having made the astonishing claims during a conference in Washington, NASA now hopes to scour the universe in hope of finding these alien life-forms.

And they are planning to use some of the world's most advanced technology to produce a road map of space. NASA has already discovered more than 5,000 planets that could sustain life and many more are likely to be found.

Sara Seager - Professor of Planetary Science and Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts - said: "Sometime in the near future, people will be able to point to a star and say, 'that star has a planet like Earth'." "Astronomers think it is very likely that every single star in our Milky Way galaxy has at least one planet."

Today's modern telescopes can look at hundreds of stars and tell if they have one or more orbiting planets. And they can even determine if the planets are the right distance away from their host star to contain liquid water, which is the key ingredient to life as we know it.

NASA plans to launch new telescopes in the next few years, including the incredible Webb Space Telescope. This state-of-the-art machine will search for oceans in the form of atmospheric water vapor - and look for life on nearby planets that are similar to Earth in size and mass.

"This technology we are using to explore exoplanets is real," said John Grunsfeld, astronaut and associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. "The James Webb Space Telescope and the next advances are happening now. These are not dreams - this is what we do at NASA."

Rare 500-year-old book containing Christopher Columbus' description of the CANNIBALS he found in the New World is set to sell for £600,000

The extremely rare book, which dates back to 1494, is being auctioned by Nate D. Sanders Auction on their website and could fetch as much as £600,000.

Anyone wanting to get their hands on the rare book will need to raise more than $750,000 (£590,000), the current highest bid, with the online auction ending tonight.

In the historic letter Columbus said the new lands he discovered justified the expensive and risky expedition.

A Spanish version of the letter was printed in Barcelona in early April 1493 and a Latin translation was published in Rome around a month later.Christopher Columbus, depicted around 1592, set out for the East Indies in 1492 but instead stumbled upon the Caribbean islands of the Americas

The Latin version was swiftly disseminated and reprinted in many other locations. Leander de Cosco translated the letter into Latin for this 1494 Basel edition.

Six woodcut prints designed by German artist Albrecht Durer which represent the first depictions of the new world are also included in the hardbound book.

They show the arrival of the Spanish at the island Insula Hyspana, a map of the Antilles, the construction of the fort La Navidad on the island of Hispaniola and Columbus' caravel under full sail.

Woodcuts were an ancient technique in printmaking where an artist carves an image into the surface of a block of wood.

The book belongs to the Robert Menzies collection, the personal library of former Australian Prime Minister Sir Robert Gordon Menzies.

A spokesman for US-based Nate D Sanders said: 'The book is significant because it is Columbus' account of discovering the new world, which he wrote on the Nina while sailing back to Spain.

'According to the Library of Congress, 17 editions of the letter were published between 1493 and 1497 and only eight copies of all the editions still exist.'

Columbus set out on his first voyage in August 1492 with the objective of reaching the East Indies by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean.

Instead of reaching Asia, Columbus stumbled upon the Caribbean islands of the Americas. 

Convinced he had discovered the edges of Asia, Columbus set sail back to Spain.

The letter that launched a thousand ships: Columbus' letter telling of the new world

'To the first island I discovered I gave the name of San Salvador, in commemoration of His Divine Majesty, who has wonderfully granted all this. The Indians call it Guanaham.

'The second I named the Island of Santa Maria de Concepcion; the third, Fernandina; the fourth, Isabella; the fifth, Juana; and thus to each one I gave a new name.

'When I came to Juana, I followed the coast of that isle toward the west, and found it so extensive that I thought it might be the mainland, the province of Cathay.

'I heard from other Indians I had already taken that this land was an island, and thus followed the eastern coast for one hundred and seven leagues, until I came to the end of it.

'From that point I saw another isle to the eastward, at 18 leagues' distance, to which I gave the name of Hispaniola.

'There are many spices and vast mines of gold and other metals in this island.

'They have no iron, nor steel, nor weapons, nor are they fit for them, because although they are well-made men of commanding stature, they appear extraordinarily timid.

'The only arms they have are sticks of cane, cut when in seed, with a sharpened stick at the end, and they are afraid to use these.

'Often I have sent two or three men ashore to some town to converse with them, and the natives came out in great numbers, and as soon as they saw our men arrive, fled without a moment's delay although I protected them from all injury.

'At every point where I landed, and succeeded in talking to them, I gave them some of everything I had-cloth and many other things-without receiving anything in return, but they are a hopelessly timid people.

'It is true that since they have gained more confidence and are losing this fear, they are so unsuspicious and so generous with what they possess, that no one who had not seen it would believe it.

'They never refuse anything that is asked for.

'They even offer it themselves, and show so much love that they would give their very hearts.

'Whether it be anything of great or small value, with any trifle of whatever kind, they are satisfied.

'I forbade worthless things being given to them, such as bits of broken bowls, pieces of glass, and old straps, although they were as much pleased to get them as if they were the finest jewels in the world.

'As for monsters, I have found no trace of them except at the point in the second isle as one enters the Indies, which is inhabited by a people considered in all the isles as most ferocious, who eat human flesh.

'Amazing evidence' of an alien abduction captured by satellite

A UFO spotter claims satellite pictures have captured the moment he apparently punched a grey alien in the face during an attempted alien abduction.

John Mooner, from Newton Abbott in Devon, says the images are "amazing evidence" of alien abduction and they left him "speechless".

Mr Mooner, who describes himself as the chief photographer for world UFO photos, said it looked in the pictures as though the alien had grabbed his fist and been able to subdue him - but he doesn't remember the incident at all.

Watch: Dave Gillham, of Cornwall UFO Research Group, talk about Cornwall UFO sightings.

"I was having trouble with the Google Earth app that was installed on my computer so I looked for an online option and found Google satellite maps," he explained.

"I thought to myself I will view the area where I was UFO spotted from last year and look for anything out of the ordinary. I was left speechless by what I saw.

"The satellite has captured a real alien abduction taking place. The shocking thing about this was that it's me being abducted by a grey alien and the satellite image clearly shows me trying to fight off the grey alien by punching it in the face.

"Looking at the image it appears that the alien has blocked my punch and has grabbed my fist and must of been able to subdue me."

"The strangest thing about this captured incident is that I do not remember this taking place at all. I do however remember sporadic episodes of missing time throughout the year of 2016 and going back through the previous years. I do remember wearing a black baseball cap and shirt. This is definitely me on the satellite image.

"I also spotted three UFOs that were heading in my direction. The three UFOs were identical and appear to be flying in formation at different altitudes. The UFO that appears to be at the highest altitude has a green light emanating from it and appears to be leaving a faint contrail with a red glow behind it. The other two UFOs are glowing white.

"The most interesting thing about these UFOs is that they look very similar to the UFO filmed and photographed over Nellis air force base at the Nevada test site. How incredible is that?

"I think that the UFOs were coming to pick me up with the grey alien. I was abducted and this satellite image is proof."

Mr Mooner has previously managed to capture what he believes are eight UFOs on camera.

They include what he describes as: an alien with a big red perm (above), a bright orange light that gave him the creeps (below), a UFO checking out a Virgin Atlantic passenger plane, an alien sticking its tongue out and an 'entity wearing a bear pelt' which he thought could be a 'skin walker' or 'moth man'.

The sightings have sparked debate as to whether Mr Mooner has managed to capture proof of alien existence. Some people think they may just be flecks on Mr Mooner's camera.

FBI document: We've been visited by 'beings from ANOTHER dimension'

While most people are clinched into a worldwide debate about aliens, discussing UFO sightings in space, on Earth, and the sheer number of whistleblowers who have come forward saying that we aren’t alone in the universe, the FBI has a very interesting document posted on their website.

The declassified document states that not only have we’ve been visited by ET, apparently we’ve been visited by “beings from other dimensions.”

However, it is noteworthy to mention that the document itself DID NOT ORIGINATE within the FBI. The document –which is an extract from a 69-page document called ufo1.pdf— was written by a former university head.

Nevertheless, the document was treated with great importance by the FBI, which is something I find VERY interesting.

The official link from the FBI vault can be found here: http://vault.fbi.gov/UFO/UFO%20Part%201%20of%2016/view

A rewritten copy of the report can be found below. (NOTE) some words in the original text are illegible due to the numerous notations and stamps.

The document, which was received on July 8, 1947, states:

This memorandum is respectfully addressed to certain scientists of distinction, to important aeronautical and military authorities, to a number of public officials and to a few publications. The writer has little expectation that anything of import will be accomplished by this gesture. The mere fact that the data here-in were obtained by so-called supernormal means is probably sufficient to ensure its disregard by nearly all the persons addressed: nevertheless it seems a public duty to make it available. (The present writer has several university degrees and was formerly a university department head).

A very serious situation may develop at any time with regard to the “flying saucers”. If one of these should be attacked, the attacking plane will almost certainly be destroyed. In the public mind, this might create near panic and international suspicion. The principal data concerning these craft is now at hand and must be offered, no matter how fantastic and unintelligible it may seem to minds not previously instructed in thinking of this type.

  •  Part of the disks carry crews, others are under remote control.

  •  Their mission is peaceful. The visitors contemplate settling on this plane.

  •  These visitors are human-like but much larger in size.

  •  They are not excarnate Earth people but come from their own world.

  •  They do NOT come from a planet as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us.

  •  The bodies of the visitors, and the craft, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter.

  •  The disks possess a type of radiant energy or a ray, which will easily disintegrate any attacking ship. They reenter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision, without a trace.

  •  The region from which they come is not the “astral plane”, but corresponds to the Lokas or Talas. Students of esoteric matters will understand these terms.

  •  They probably cannot be reached by radio, but probably can be by radar. if a signal system can be devised for that apparatus.

We give information and warning and can do no more. Let the newcomers be treated with every kindness. Unless the disks are with-(illegible) a (illegible, illegible) with which our culture and science are incapable of dealing. A heavy responsibility rests upon the few in authority who are able to understand this matter.

Addendum: The Lokas are oval-shaped, fluted length, oval with a heat-resisting metal or alloy not yet known, the front cage contains the controls, the middle portion a laboratory; the rear contains armament, which consists essentially of a powerful energy apparatus, perhaps a ray…

Why Military Is Studying UFOs And Aliens, Not Scientists?

It is believed that the elongated skull dates back to around 2,800 years, most likely belonged to a newborn, or perhaps 3-month year old baby. What makes this elongated skull so unique?

Well, according to experts, this mummified elongated skull is suggestive of a genetically elongated skull, meaning that it isn't the result of head binding, since the process of artificial cranial deformation takes at least 6 months to produce the desired effect.

So far, archaeologists in Peru have found hundreds of elongated skulls with peculiar characteristics. This new discovery hints at the possibility that thousands of years ago, an ancient race of people lived in Peru with naturally elongated skulls.

Furthermore, Brien Foerster points out the 'very fine hair' of the baby, which curiously is auburn red in color, and not the typical black color seen in Native American People. According to experts, this - together with the anomalous elongated skull - is one of the best pieces of evidenced which shows a clear genetic differentiation from what one would normally expect.

In addition to the auburn hair color and freakishly elongated skull, Brien Foerster notes that the vertebral column of the baby is located further back of the skull than in normal humans which "could well indicate an evolutionary adaptation to compensate for the elongated skull".

Stunning Pictures of the Mysterious Saturn's Moon Titan

In 2005, the probe Huygens, from the European Space Agency, landed on Saturn's biggest moon, Titan. It discovered here a surprising environment composed of lakes, rain, winds, highlands and wonder. Titan's feature was formerly invisible because of a dense orange toxic haze. The probe took some very interesting pictures, showing an extraterrestrial world looking almost like Earth. It found that temperatures on Titan are so low that they can go until nearly 300 degrees below zero and that consequently ice is hard as rock.

Also, ethane and methane, which are normally gases on Earth, are under a liquid form on Titan and constitutes enormous lakes and seas. For scientists, Titan could be a sort of primordial exemple of what Earth looked like billions years ago.

This mission was the first one on another moon. This year, the last NASA ambassador on Saturn, Cassini, will also end his trip with an exploration of the planet itself.

Here, some pictures from the Cassini spacecraft to show Titan trough its impenetrable atmosphere. Some stunning pictures of the far side of the Moon here.

CIA releases millions of documents, sparking fresh alien speculation

Last week the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released 13 million previously classified Top Secret documents, including detailed investigations of UFO activity.

Available now via the CIA online library, the declassified documents include reports on: investigations into UFOs; top secret cables from government executives; the agency's behaviour control program, MK-ULTRA; and reports from experiments carried out with renowned TV psychic and 'spoon bender', Uri Geller.

While many of the reports have sensitive information blacked out, there is still a surprising amount of detail that outlines events, locations and people.

Little grey men

UFO conspiracy theorists have long held that governments around the world are covering up evidence of the existence of aliens and UFOs, and even collaborating in secret with beings from another planet.

Ideas such as this entered the public mind decades ago, with the supposed crash landing of a UFO at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.

Legend has it the US Air Force moved the crashed flying saucer and its occupants to a testing facility near Groom Lake, called Area 51 - a site the US government has denied existed until 2013.

Stories like this were then popularised in the 1990s, in television series like The X-Files - a science-fiction drama where FBI Special Agents Fox 'Spooky' Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigate unsolved cases of a paranormal nature, with UFOs, aliens and government conspiracies playing the central role in the series.

Flying Saucer UFO Revealed In Melting Antarctica Ice, According To UFO Hunters

One of the consequences of melting of polar ice caps due to ongoing climate change is the uncovering of ancient alien structures and technological artifacts that have been buried under ice sheets for thousands of years, according to UFO and alien enthusiasts.

Recently, UFO hunters claimed to have spotted an alien flying saucer UFO parked below the surface of melted ice in the Antarctic region. The UFO, revealed on Google Maps as a result of melting polar ice, is the latest of a series of alien structures and technological artifacts revealed as polar ice sheets melt due to ongoing climate change, according to alien hunters.

The alleged flying saucer UFO was found on Google Maps coordinates 61°33'34.79″S 122 °54'49.76″E.

The latest alleged technological artifact, presumed to be of extraterrestrial origin, was reportedly found in an area of water surrounded by polar ice. The fact that that the structure was perfectly circular proved it was not a natural object but an artificial object.

But some alien hunters claimed that the mysterious anomaly on Google Maps was not a flying saucer UFO but an ancient underground UFO base revealed for the first time due to melting of polar ice sheets.

"This amazing structure is not something natural but an underwater base created by an alien race or a secret society who use the base for their secret 'UFO' operations."

However, an enthusiast commenting on UFO Sightings Hotspot argued that the structure was not an underwater base but a UFO disk parked on a mountain peak in Antarctica.

"The photo was taken on Nov. 5th, 2009," the enthusiast said. "There is another photo taken about 10 weeks later, on Jan. 18th, 2010, that clearly shows that it's a peak with shadow, rather than water. However, the disc has moved to a different location atop the peak, in the latter pic."

"This object is only 50 meters wide therefore I rule out [an underwater base] and lean more toward vessel or craft!"

In a post to his UFO Sightings Daily blog, blogger Scott C. Waring also insisted that the object was a flying saucer UFO and not a alien base. He argued that the discovery of a saucer-shaped UFO on Google Maps in a polar region was not surprising.

According to conspiracy theorists, extraterrestrial visitors to Earth deliberately locate major underground bases and other structures in remote, isolated and inaccessible places, such as on mountains, on ocean floor and even inside active volcanoes. The polar regions are also favorite sites for location of massive surface and underground structures, according to UFO hunters.

Recent melting of polar ice caps due to ongoing climate change is revealing the secret ancient treasures of the polar regions.

But in his analysis of the latest alleged UFO evidence obtained from Google Maps, Waring disagreed with the suggestion that the structure was an alien base or a UFO uncovered recently due to melting ice. He argued that the Google Map anomaly was a flying saucer UFO that recently entered the Earth's atmosphere from space and landed at a location close to a major underground base on the floor of the ocean.

"Notice that the outer edge of the alien disk is extremely thin, and then it suddenly becomes much thicker with a odd shaped dome over the top, "he commented on his blog.

"Google ruler says the UFO has a diameter of 40 meters," he continued. "When a craft lands for an extended amount of time, it means there is an alien base nearby. Probably on the floor of the ocean, or maybe in the shallows of the area."

According to UFO enthusiasts, the discovery of a large UFO parked just below melting ice on Google Maps demonstrates the cause of the interest that the major powers have shown in the polar regions recently. Recent visits to Antarctica by prominent individuals, such as the outgoing U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and former NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin, was due to expectations that melting ice will reveal a stunning wealth of ancient artifacts that have remained hidden under thick ice sheets for thousands of years.

UFO conspiracy theorists claim that what U.S. authorities meant when they said that Kerry visited Antarctica to observe the effects of global warming was what he went to see the ancient civilization structures and technological artifacts emerging from under recently melted Antarctica ice.

Similarly, the former U.S. astronaut Buzz Aldrin, 86, visited Antarctica despite advanced old age because of excitement after learning that melting ice was revealing hidden treasures of alien technology long buried under thick ice sheets, according to conspiracy theorists.

The Russian Patriarch Kirill of Moscow also visited a Russian Antarctica outpost on February 18, not to see the penguins, as claimed officially, but to see the remains of ancient alien civilization exposed by melting ice sheets, ET chasers claimed.

'No UFOs Or Aliens At Area 51': Real Base 'Just South' Of It, MUFON Director Claims

The government does not have a secret facility at Area 51 in Nevada wherein they house, hold, or store aliens, nor do they experiment or reverse engineer UFOs there. At least as far as the executive director of the Mutual UFO Network knows. He also firmly believes that all government disclaimers about Area 51 are true. Because, technically, they are. That's because the actual work being done on UFOs, according to him, is occurring at an area "just south" of Area 51.

The place is designated as S4. It is even on the same Tonopah Test Range in Nevada. And it is where, the Daily Express reported this week, MUFON executive director Jan Harzan says, based on "insider information," the government carries out its top secret testing on recovered extraterrestrial craft. He also claims that it is here, in an underground facility secretly built into the base of the Papoose Mountains in Lincoln County, Nevada, where the government houses UFOs and aliens.

"Area 51 is a top-secret airbase for the CIA and military to test super-secret aircraft years ahead of what the general public is aware of," Harzan said of the mysterious facility.

"As best we know, there are no UFOs or aliens at Area 51."

Jan Harzan's words corroborate the official government line. Back in August, 2013, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) declassified a document, according to Seeker, wherein the agency admitted the existence of Area 51, albeit as a top-secret airbase for the testing and operations of the U2 spy plane and not as a secret base for experimenting on downed aliens and reverse-engineering recovered UFOs.

Last year, Andre Milne, founder of defense technology firm Unicorn Aerospace, which develops navigation technology for the U.S. government, told the Express that it was true that: "Area 51 is a very well secured U.S. Air Force base that is mandated to test and evaluate the performance of experimental and or classified U.S. military aircraft."

To use the parlance of conspiracy theorists, Milne admitted that Area 51 was where "black projects" were conducted.

As was reported by The Inquisitr, Milne acknowledged that it was the work being done there that necessitated the notoriously strict security that guards its perimeter. "Area 51 is a highly-secured facility for the painfully obvious necessity to restrict any and or all witness observations of the classified aircraft and the advanced performance evaluations away from the multitude of individuals and governments that want nothing but to undermine U.S. National Security."

Jan Harzan said that government officials easily speak of Area 51 as having no aliens or UFOs, because it is true.

"So when the President," he said, "or other officials proudly proclaim that there are no UFOs or aliens at Area 51, they may be technically correct because they are at S4."

Still, as far as UFOs being sighted around the world, Harzan is relatively certain that just a small portion reported to his organization, MUFON, are human engineered. He also noted that there were even ways to tell human-made craft from alien.

"I am certain that at least five to 10 per cent, maybe more, of what is being reported to us could, in fact, be top-secret U.S. aircraft built for the CIA and/or military." He went on: "There appears to be telltale signs of what is ours and what is theirs (ET). Our craft are very angular looking, with external plumbing, seams and protrusions on the body of the craft. Those of extraterrestrial origin are very smooth and integrated with no seams or rivets showing, and no protrusions. At least that's our hypothesis based on what we are seeing."

The MUFON executive director said that, "Based on the research I have done, and the people I have talked to, including first-hand witnesses," he was quite certain that the U.S. military is now capable of constructing a re-creation of at least one of the captured UFOs.

"It would be one of the highest priorities of the military and intelligence community to get their hands on a flying saucer of extraterrestrial origin," he said. "There are others who have come forward to share their stories, although as one might imagine our intelligence community does its best to attempt to discredit them."

No formal acknowledgment of the existence of an area government-operated facility, military or otherwise, with the designation of "S4" has ever been made. Unless the future holds another surprise CIA admission, it will likely remain just another thread of possible deceit, common enough fodder for the average conspiracy theorist, perpetrated by the U.S. government concerning UFOs and aliens.

UFO sightings & psychic powers revealed in newly released CIA docs

There's no shortage of intrigue amidst the CIA's newly released archive of nearly 13 million pages of declassified records. Some of the more peculiar revelations detail the handling of UFO sightings and the potential weaponization of psychic powers.

In this particular document concerning such reporting, a UFO is defined as “any object which, by performance, aerodynamic characteristics, or unusual features, does not conform to known aircraft or missiles.”

There are a number of documents relating to sightings in Norway,Spain and North Africa and the former USSR among the millions of pages. While many sightings feature throughout the extensive release, there have been no conclusive findings documented as of yet.

It seems the CIA was keen to emphasize the importance of rapid but thorough reporting of any such sightings as a matter of national security, listing the four phases of air defense as: detection, identification, interception and destruction. The Unidentified Flying Object Program requires that all US Air Force (USAF) commanders adhere strictly to these guidelines.

The procedure calls on air force commanders to report all UFO sightings including those received from other agencies, governmental bodies or civilians.

When reporting a sighting, the document states that the following data points must be specified and explained in as much detail as possible: shape, size, color, number, formation, distinct or unique features, any tail, trail or exhaust, any sounds and any other unusual features not covered by the preceding points.

The USAF also highlights the three major reasons for taking UFO sightings so seriously: air defense and the elimination of any potential threats to the United States or its armed forces; to determine the technical or scientific characteristics of such UFOs and thus maintain military intelligence and technological dominance; to explain or identify all such instances in order to maintain strategic readiness in all eventualities.

The CIA had also previously published its own handy set of guidelines for amateur stargazers out there to organize themselves and flood their local air force bases with sighting reports:

January 25, 2016

In another bizarre revelation, it's been revealed that the CIA conducted a series of experiments to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of employing psychic spies to “collect foreign intelligence information against documents shielded from normal perception,” in a project code-named ‘Stargate.’

These efforts weren’t limited to mere mortals, however, as none other than Israeli-born, celebrity psychic Uri Geller was brought in to test his psychic mettle against the researchers.

Geller attempted to duplicate a series of drawings produced in a nearby room without any knowledge of the topic or theme of the doodles.

They ranged from a firecracker to a bunch of grapes and even a quick sketch of our solar system. While Geller did have some surprising success throughout the experiments, the CIA decided not to pursue the research beyond its initial stage.

If this all sounds familiar, that’s because it is; the 2009 film starring George Clooney and Ewan McGregor named 'The men who stare at goats' drew heavily from rumors and reports about psychic warfare research conducted by the CIA and other US intelligence agencies.

While the release of millions of pages of documents may come as exciting news, it should be pointed out that they have been accessible since the year 2000, but only on specific computers housed in National Archives in College Park, Maryland in the United States.

Here's the Declassified Protocol for Reporting UFO Sightings

The U.S. Air Force protocol for UFO sightings from 1958 has finally been declassified. On Tuesday, a large collection of about 930,000 CIA documents were made available online, including a file on UFOs. This file gives us insight on what the steps Air Force would take if a UFO was spotted.

Officially, a UFO was defined as "any airborne object which, by performance, aerodynamic characteristics or unusual features, does not conform to known aircraft or missiles." So let's say it's 1958, and you're in the Air Force, and you spot a UFO zipping through the air. First thing's first - you'd report all information and evidence of the sighting to your commanding officer, who would forward it to necessary personnel.

Next, the Air Force would conduct a follow-up investigation on it. Then they would analyze the information and evidence from these sightings. Finally, they would release information on UFO sightings to the public and answer congressional inquiries about the UFO sighting.

When reporting a UFO sighting, one would have to describe the UFO's shape, size, color, number, formation, sound and other features, as well as the time, date, location and weather conditions of the sighting. If journalists, writers, publishers or private people release unofficial information about a UFO sighting, the protocol says "every effort will be made to assure that these statements and theories are not associated with or represented as official information."

There are many conspiracy theories flying around regarding UFOs and aliens and how the government has spent more than half a century covering up their sightings. For example, last summer, NASA shut down a live-stream of the International Space Station, and conspiracy theorists believed NASA was covering up an alien invasion.

British UFO Researcher Demands More Info on Police Sighting

I believe this British case is a major UFO event and should be the subject of a scientific enquiry.

Gary Heseltine – retired British police officer, editor of UFO Truth magazine and creator and manager of the PRUFOS (Police Reporting UFOSightings) database - wants some answers about a UFO encounter on September 17, 2016, over Bristol Channel. A police helicopter belonging to the National Police Air Service (NPAS) in South Wales photographed a glowing orb using an infrared camera set to pick up heat-emitting objects. The video garnered much attention after NPAS St. Athan uploaded it on the Internet.

And then ... nothing. When a police encounter with a UFO suddenly drops off the radar, it sounds like a cover-up to many people. People like Gary Heseltine. The retired Detective Constable in the British Transport police (1989-2013) saw a UFO in 1975 and heard the stories of many fellow police officers who had UFO sightings both on and off duty. In 2002 he set up the PRUFOS database to collect and record them. The database now has over 500 reports dating back to 1901, including a big one on September 17, 2016.

Heseltine says he has submitted several Freedom of Information Requests to South Wales police for flight maps and audio from the helicopter. To date, he has received nothing from his former fellow officers.

What I can say is that in my opinion the police have not been as open and transparent as they could have been.

With the interest shown after the recent release by the Chilean government of a similar infrared video showing an alleged UFO encounter with a Navy helicopter, Heseltine decided to present the Bristol Channel sighting to the media again in hopes that pressure might be applied to the NPAS to release more information on the incident.

What are the police trying to hide from former officer Gary Helestine?

Gary Heseltine is an experienced investigator of both police and UFO cases and has a long and award-winning (PRG Disclosoure Award and the Exopolitics Great Britain award) history of pursuing the details about UFO sightings by police officers. Has he discovered a cover-up? Will he be able to pry open the files on this intriguing case and obtain information regarding it? Only time will tell.

One thing is for certain ... he's already exposed the reluctance of his former organization - a group he's dedicated himself to helping through PRUFOS – to disclose information.

Alien hunter spots 'major UFO' flying through south Wales' skies on police infra-red camera footage

AN ALIEN hunter believes he has spotted a ‘major UFO’ on footage recorded by an infra-red camera on board a police helicopter.

Gary Heseltine, editor of UFO Truth magazine, said the startling footage was recorded in the skies above south Wales last September.

It shows a circular object levitating in the air and appearing to spin as the helicopter camera zooms in and out to try and make sense of it.

Gary has also criticised South Wales Police for not being more open with him after he submitted multiple Freedom of Information requests in a bid to find out what they know about the peculiar incident.

He said: “I’ve waited until now to see how much information I could obtain from the police via the FOI requests I’ve submitted.

“What I can say is that, in my opinion, the police have not been as open and transparent as they could have been.

Gary, who runs annual UFO conferences which attract people from across the country, says he has requested logs from the force in relation to the helicopter that captured the UFO footage

The kind of information he’s hoping to get includes flight maps and audio from the cockpit.

Gary Heseltine has criticised cops for not being more open with information

He claims the incident bears a similar resemblance to another case in Chile where one of the country’s naval helicopters captured a UFO on infra-red camera.

Gary added: “I believe this British case is a major UFO event and should be the subject of a scientific enquiry.”

Woman records alien in the Andes Mountains of Peru | Freak Lore - Paranormal and strange news

With the utmost confidence, a woman managed to capture a grey alien on camera. She is from Peru and not long ago, visited a place known as Machu Picchu. This location is a mountainous region, which elevates to nearly 7,972′ feet, the radius of the area is 5.019 mi². Machu Picchu is an Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains of Peru.

The mountain is just above the Urubamba River valley. It is here, that this amazing video was taken. The alien however seemed tall for being a distinctive grey alien. It is believed to be something else, but does have characteristics comparable to that of a grey alien.

The story goes, this woman went hiking with her friends back in 2016, and as they climbed the mountain territory (after reaching a high point and bending turn) she discovered the alien. From around a corner, she immediately noticed this extraterrestrial alien peering at her from behind a rock.

Thinking somewhat clearly, she grabbed her cell phone and started to video the alien creature. What it was doing here is unknown, perhaps this territory is a location for scout aliens or perhaps under the mountain, there is a secret base which has been established there. There is much speculation nowadays about alien civilizations, which are here on this planet living with us.

Cities underground may exist, in which parts of our world, it is unknown or has been kept secretive by various governments. This is for obvious reasons as it changes not only our history but the way the world is being ruled by the very few.

The video was unfortunately not crystal clear, the woman hushed her friends - telling them to be quite while she continued to record this alien with her mobile phone. People are continuing to look at this video trying to figure out whether or not it is legit. If so, this will be one if not the most important videos seen in modern times. For such a long time, people have doubted the existence of aliens.

It is rather naive to think this way. We are just a drop in the bucket of an existence, there are far more worlds and living things that are out there. From watching this video it is difficult to tell whether or not it is indeed a fake or for real. Maybe a scientific exploration team can infiltrate the area where the alien was seen and look for further clues and evidence. The video has been both stabilized, with zoom in and slow motion added to it.

One interesting thing is, that the Incan citadel was built here back in the 15th century and then later abandoned. It has since been a noteworthy achievement, for its sophisticated dry-stone walls that fuse huge blocks without the use of any mortar. The building here are quite intriguing by appearance which play upon astronomical alignments and panoramic views. What it was used for from centuries ago still remains to be a mystery. Maybe the alien seen was simply stargazing.

Aliens On Mars: Spaceship-Like Object Captured By Mars Rover

Alien hunters think they found more conclusive evidences of aliens on Mars! A spaceship-like object and what seems to be bodies of extraterrestrial beings was spotted on a photo recently captured on a Mars Rover. Meanwhile, Russian scientists believe that there is a high possibility of existence of primitive life forms on Mars.

According to UFO hunters, the spaceship was parked near an alien house 200 meters north of Sebina in Mars. The said alien house looks like a rectangular structure with four long rectangular windows while the space ship resembles a jet plane. They also spotted other possible evidences of aliens on Mars like alien statues and growing rock flower.

"You see, this is a psychological manipulation that NASA has been playing for a long time. They take photos of Mars and change that to a red color... they call it false color most of the time, or they will only show black and white photos," alien enthusiast Scott C. Waring said via UFO Sightings Daily.

On the other hand, a report from a Russian news outlet, Pravda.ru, revealed strange objects which looks similar to a flying saucer and bodies of extraterrestrial beings. It further revealed that the bodied of the aliens are ruined.

Zooming in the photos, the remains of the alien bodies could be seen - two heads and a chest. Alien hunters also found an alien foot on a separate site. Scientists from the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) said there is a high probability that primitive life forms exist in the red planet especially in the polar regions.

According to Igor Mitrofanov, head of the laboratory of cosmic gamma-ray spectroscopy of the Space Research Institute in RAS, the presence of water ice indicated there might be life on Mars. The emissions of methane in the atmosphere of Mars would likely cause primitive lifeforms on Mars.

He added that fragments of the ancient aliens on Mars (from the theory of Martian civilization destroyed by nuclear war) are more likely to be found on hard formations. These areas of Mars has a denser atmosphere and magnetic field similar to Earth.

Scientists believe there could be ALIEN life on VENUS

Venus, the second planet from the sun, with a temperature that is maintained at 462 degrees Celsius, no matter where you go on the planet -therefore the hottest planet in the solar system - may be home to ALIEN life. As described by Inverse, Venus has some rather "spooky looking clouds" that just might contain alien life.

Interestingly, in the past, the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, published a series of photographs, taken by the Venera probe which allegedly shows evidence of living organisms on Venus.

According to an explanation by Leonid Ksanfomaliti, doctor of physical and mathematical science, at the Institute of Space Research, the images taken 30 years ago reveal the movement of extremely strange objects on the surface of Venus.

These enigmatic dark streaks have captured the imagination and attention of experts since the 1960's, but now, a team of American and Russian scientists are determined to find out the exact nature of the enigmatic bands in Venus' atmospheric cover.

Experts from Russia and the US will submit plans for a new mission dubbed as Venera-D, which is basically an unmanned spacecraft that would be sent to Venus, and determine if the mysterious dark streaks are evidence of microbial alien life on Venus.

Sunglint on Lake Titicaca : Image of the Day

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station used a long lens to capture the fleeting features of the Sun's reflection point around islands in Lake Titicaca. Located on the high plateau of the Andes Mountains, between Peru and Bolivia, Titicaca is the largest lake in South America. At 3812 meters (12,500 feet) above sea level, it is also one of the highest commercially navigable lakes in the world.

Astronauts see numerous complex "sunglint" patterns like these as they look down on Earth. In this photo, reflection-point patterns are strongly affected by the wind because wind-ruffled water and smooth water reflect sunlight differently. Strong westerly winds blow across Titicaca in most months of the year, disturbing the water surface and enhancing bright reflections. Wind is also channeled between steep-sided islands, making for strong reflections on both sides of Isla Suriqui. But in wind-protected zones - such as the area downwind (northeast) of Suriqui - there is no brilliant reflection to blot out the color of the lake water.

The sunglint patterns tell other stories, too. The curved line near the top left seems to show a pulse of water entering the lake through a narrow strait. The parallel lines at image top center may represent a packet of earlier water pulses.

At the lower right, straight lines of boat wakes cut across curved wind-streak lines. The close-up image shows a cluster of V-shaped wakes of boat traffic going to and from a small port on the island.

How Did The Moon Form? Study Says Many Small Impacts, Not One Giant Collision, Created Earth's Natural Satellite

How Did The Moon Form? Study Says Many Small Impacts, Not One Giant Collision, Created Earth's Natural Satellite

According to the widely accepted “giant impact hypothesis,” proposed in the 1970s, the moon formed about 4.5 billion years ago when a Mars-sized planet slammed into early Earth. This theory suggests that most of what became the moon came from this “giant impactor.”

If this explanation is true, a significant portion of the material that makes up the moon should have come from this mystery planet. However, analysis of lunar soil and rocks collected during the Apollo missions has shown that this is not the case.

The moon, it turns out, is surprisingly Earth-like in its composition, and this, many scientists say, would only be possible if the giant impactor was made of exactly the same material as Earth.

Now, in a new study published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, a team of Israeli researchers has proffered a different origin story for the moon — one that challenges the single-impact hypothesis. According to them, a more plausible explanation is that the moon may have formed when several small "moonlets" — created not by a single impact with one giant body, but due to multiple impacts with a series of smaller ones — coalesced into a single object.

"The multiple impact scenario is a more 'natural' way of explaining the formation of the moon," lead author Raluca Rufu from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, toldAgence France-Presse (AFP).

The researchers, who based their conclusions on hundreds of simulations run on a computer cluster, said that their explanation removes the need for highly specific initial conditions, such as a collision with an object of a particular size traveling at a defined velocity and hitting Earth at a specific angle, that the giant impact hypothesis requires.  

"The new scenario does not require finely tuned initial conditions, and if the smaller moonlets, as we think, were drawn into the same orbit, they could have merged over millions of years," Rufu said in a statement.

In order to test their hypothesis, the researchers simulated several collisions between a young Earth and several planetesimals — recreating conditions that would have existed in the early stages of our solar system. The collisions would have sent clouds of rubble into orbit around the early Earth, where they would eventually have cooled down coalesced into small moonlets that, over time, could have merged into one object — the moon.

Moreover, the researchers said, if a number of different bodies collided with Earth over a period of millions of years, their different chemical signatures might have evened out, masking the traces of the various collisions.

"We are now running further simulations to try to understand how the smaller moonlets produced in these simulations might have coalesced to form our Moon," co-author Oded Aharonson, also from the Weizmann Institute, said in the statement.

This is not the first time the multiple impact hypothesis has been invoked to fill the gaps in the prevalent theory. That several collisions gave rise to the moon was a suggestion first put forward in 1980s, but the explanation failed to gain cachet in the decades since.

"This paper is first to provide extensive calculations that we hope will stimulate others to reexamine the issue," Rufu told Space.com.

The Above Top Secret Space Program Built With Reverse-Engineered Alien Technology

In 1993, during a lecture at the UCLA Alumini Center, Ben Rich, former CEO of Lockheed Martin held a very interesting speech about technological advancements in space engineering in a period of forty years. He concluded his speech with the following quote: We now have the technology to take ET home." - Ben Rich, CEO of Lockheed Skunk Works, 1993 While talking about ET the last image of the slide showed a mysterious black disk-shaped object flying into outer space.

What was Mr Richj telling us with the quote? With the image? Lockheed has designed and built a series of incredible aircraft including the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-22 Raptor and the F-117 Nighthawk, all of them with state of the art technology that no one else had in their possession. Their aircrafts were unique, fast, and lethal. Related Articles The Russian KGB allegedly found the mummy of an ancient alien astronaut in the 1960s. The story of Project ISIS, a secret Russian expedition to Egypt in 1961 to uncover the "Tomb of the Visitor," was first told in a documentary titled The Secret KGBThe KGB Launched A Top-Secret Program To Obtain Alien Technology.

What They Found Will Leave You Speechless! For years there have been individuals and government officials trying to get more truths out to the public about the U.S. Governments involvement in programs relating to UFOs and Space. It’s a murky world where rumors and imagination run wild, withLeaked: U.S. Air Force General Involved In Disclosure Of A Secret International UFO Program Many people believe that Lockheed Martin definitely came into possession of advanced alien technology that they managed to reengineer creating the next generation fighters.

Is it possible that Lockheed is responsible for the manned flying saucers? Is it possible that Lockheed combined Tesla's inventions with re-engineered alien technology which allowed them to create unprecedented aerial vehicles and even spacecraft? Vehicles that have been kept far away from the prying eyes of the public. As of 2000, if not a bit earlier, people started to think differently, interest in alien life and extraterrestrial technology, governments could keep up with the high interest of the public in those subjects which has probably led to the numerous declassified UFO files made available to the public in recent years.

In an interview with BBC British system administrator Gary McKinnon, the person who hacked his way into 97 U.S. military and NASA computers, said that he had been motivated by the Disclosure Project since "there are some very credible, relied-upon people, all saying yes, there is UFO technology, there's anti-gravity, there's free energy, and it's extraterrestrial in origin and they've captured spacecraft and reverse engineered them."

According to McKinnon, he uncovered numerous files, among them a spreadsheet containing names and details about extraterrestrial officers and fleet logs. McKinnon searched for the 'extraterrestrial officers' in the database of the U.S Military and Navy and concluded that those officers were nowhere to be found.

He concluded that these mysterious 'officers' had to be Space Marines. McKinnon saw countless UFO images stored in NASA's computers at the Johnson Space Center's Building 8 among other highly classified documents. McKinnon was caught in 2002 facing over 50 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines. Luckily, McKinnon who fled to the U.K. was never extradited to the US and managed to avoid prison.

McKinnon firmly believes that extraterrestrial vehicles have been captured by governments around the world, and he also believes that mankind was able to reverse engineer that technology creating highly advanced spacecraft which are today fully functional. According to Jack A. Shulman, president of American Computer; the invention of the transistor may have been inspired by the study of the remains of a crashed alien spacecraft, basically reverse engineered technology.

Alien Technology and humans reverse engineering it was first mentioned in 1997 when, American Computer Company (ACC) suggested the possibility that the study of the remains of a crashed alien spaceship in Roswell in 1947, or another crashed Alien spaceship might have been definitive for the development of the transistor, made in 1948 by Shockley, Bardeen and Brattain doctors in the Research Center of Electronic Circuits at Bell Laboratories. The basis for such claims are a series of documents and testimonies that supposedly were in possession of ACC.

This theory matches the stories of many others, among them, former Lieutenant Colonel Phillip Corso, who in his book; The Day After Roswell, claims being part of the team that handed the remains of the crashed object and delivered parts to different departments of Bell Laboratories ( via ancient-code.com ).

Scientists are shocked! Skulls of the Paracas desert are not human, they have been confirmed by DNA tests

Since its discovery in 1928 Paracas skulls fascinated and terrified researcher. Its dimensions and extremely elongated shape resembling alien than human. Furthermore, the mystery deepened recent DNA tests have confirmed that 3000 years old Paracas skull could belong to man, but also a different kind.

On the southern coast of Peru is Paracasská coastal desert. In this barren landscape Peruvian archaeologist Julio Tello in 1928 he discovered one of the most interesting discoveries of history - has uncovered grave with the remains of creatures. Their skulls had extremely elongated shape. Tello found a total of three hundred skulls and it is evident that the old 3000 years.

The shape of the skull was itself a mystery, recent DNA analysis has brought fascinating results that undermine our current knowledge about the origin and evolution of man. For lovers of alternative theories, it is clear that one of the other evidence of extraterrestrial visitations in ancient times in connection with the Nazca might be true.

Paracas skulls are just the result of artificial deformation of the skull, which was sporadic ritual practice in earlier times normal. Carried by the head of the newborn bound between two pieces of wood, they have developed to the skull constant pressure, thus changing its shape. Paracas skulls are very different. Its skull is about 25% larger and 60% heavier than a normal human skull. These parameters can not be achieved simply by tying header newborns.

Individuals are thus biologically different from those which are typically human. "I'm not sure if it would fit into the known evolutionary tree," said Brian Foester literally.

Reconstruction paracaského "MAN" mainstream media reported with reference to the scientist, let's not take it seriously. O'Brien Foerster was classified as doubtful pseudovědec, which according to them, the waist just sensationalism. He reproached him that the studies published in scientific journals are critical, so it cleared the review process.

Science is not done on social networks," said well-known skeptical of Sharon Hill. "The inspection process is an important part of science and supporters paracaských skull committed shortcuts that undermine their credibility. Instead, the data published to critical examination, trying to draw attention to cultural practices that are perceived as bizarre distortion of the skull." said the scientist.

'Giant staircase' in Antarctic may be alien landing site or ancient pyramid

Satellite imagery has uncovered what appears to be a large staircase in the middle of an area which is supposed to be a barren wasteland. The shock "discovery" - which comes after a curious high-profile visit to the region - has sparked wild claims about its origin.

Users on popular conspiracy theory forum Godlike Productions suggested the huge steps were part of a pyramid structure. Others went further - claiming they were tracks left by a UFO.

One so-called "truther" linked the strange phenomenon to "tubes" spotted on Mars. Dark rumours have swirled around the little-visited frozen region, with claims it is home to a secret Nazi base, an ancient civilisation or an underground alien race persisting for decades.

An anonymous user posted the image on the forum, explaining: "This morning, in the work van, we were talking about conspiracies, and one of them were about so many big names going to Antarctica out of the blue.

"I was bored so I pulled out Google Earth for a while, just exploring, when I came across something that looked like a giant staircase."
He suggested it could be a glitch with the satellite cameras.

But fellow netizens were quick to put forward more far-fetched reasons. One poster said: "It does look like stairs - maybe on a pyramid structure? "I'm not an alien believer but I do believe we've been all over this planet many times in our past."

But another disagreed, writing: "They are not stairs - way too big. "They are ridges formed by a saw-teeth-shaped weight bearing down and compacting the snow. "It's more likely a landing site than stairs."

Another agreed: "Very interesting that it is just above the big rectangular blur and it's also in the circle of alien activity." One of the forum's administrators, with the username Trinity, said: "Looks a lot like the tubes on Mars you see."

Ancient Civilization Discovered In Antarctica? Giant Castle On Google Could Revolutionize Understanding Of History, Conspiracy Theorists Claim

UFO conspiracy theorists claim to have found evidence in Google Earth satellite imagery of an ancient city buried in Antarctica ice. According to conspiracy theorists, what looks clearly like an artificially constructed fort-like structure was spotted emerging from beneath Antarctica ice in satellite imagery.

The giant structure, allegedly about 400 feet (121 meters) across, looks like an oval-shaped medieval castle or fort with concentric walls, according to conspiracy theorists. The giant circular structure in Antarctica gives strong evidence of a lost ancient city and civilization that once flourished in the South Pole region.

But while some theorists said that the structure was built by advanced extraterrestrial beings, others insisted they were built by humans.

The discovery of a giant, ancient artificial structure that appears to have been a castle or fort suggests that an ancient city and civilization could lie undiscovered under thick layers of Antarctica ice, a conspiracy theorist claimed on the blog Ancient Code. The evidence of the existence of ancient civilization structures buried under Antarctica ice compels a review of our understanding of human history and civilization, according to conspiracy theorists. It suggests the existence of a previously unknown phase of human history and civilization in Antarctica much older than the ancient Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations.

Conspiracy theorists speculate that a civilization might have flourished in Antarctica thousands of years ago at a time that the climate of the environment was much different than today. This means, according to conspiracy theorists, that Antarctica was not always frozen wasteland and that the continent was warm enough in the past to sustain large and complex technological human societies that created impressive monuments, such as temples, castles and cities. But we are unable to see the remains of ancient Antarctica civilization today because most of the ruins are buried in thick layers of ice and snow.

But scientific researchers have denied the sensational conspiracy theory claims, saying that the alleged artificial structure, claimed to be a castle or fort, is in fact part of the natural Antarctica landscape known as a sastruga, the Daily Mail reports.

Sastrugi are irregular ridges on snowy surfaces formed through the battering action of freezing winds and heavy snowfall in polar and cold temperate region.

But conspiracy theorists rejected the explanation offered by scientific researchers, arguing instead that the shape of sastrugi, determined by the direction of wind, is very rarely oval-shaped. The symmetry of the 400-ft structure is also not characteristic of sastrugi. The symmetry shows that it is not part of the natural landscape of the area but an artificial structure created by intelligent designers, conspiracy theorists claimed.

Some theorists insisted that compelling evidence that people have known about lost ancient civilizations on Antarctica for centuries comes from a map drawn in 1513 by Turkish admiral Piri Reis. The map identifies Antarctica landmass unambiguously despite the official version of history that Antarctica was discovered much later.

This is not the first time that conspiracy theorists have claimed the discovery of monumental artificial structures buried beneath Antarctica ice. Conspiracy theorists claimed recently to have spotted a pyramidal structure jutting out of ice and snow in Antarctica. According to conspiracy theorists, the perfect geometric symmetry of the structure gave evidence that advanced civilizations once flourished on the frozen continent.

But skeptics dismissed the claim.

"Pictures of the pyramid structures are either photoshopped or cropped pictures to make the mountains look more like pyramids or simply pictures of natural formations called nunataks," skeptical UFO investigator Nigel Watson told the Daily Mail.

"[Nunataks] are mountainous formations created by shifting glaciers and erosion, not by laser zapping aliens."

Contesting the claim by skeptics that the alleged pyramidal structure was a natural feature of the Antarctica landscape called a nunatak, conspiracy theorists argued that the symmetry of the structure, which makes it stand out against its natural environment, proved that it was an artificial structure.

The Inquisitr reported that conspiracy theorists claimed that the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry visited the Antarctica recently to see the ruins of ancient civilizations and underground facilities built by an alleged U.S. secret space program being run in collaboration with technologically advanced alien races under top-secret treaty agreements.

'Giant Alien Hand' Found In Peru Desert Cave, Paranormal Researchers Claim

A group of paranormal researchers claim to have found the giant hand of a mysterious humanoid being in Cusco, Peru. Paranormal enthusiasts believe the hand belonged to an alien or extraterrestrial being.

According to the researchers, they obtained the hand, which has three long and thin fingers, from a group of friends who found it while exploring caves and tunnels in the desert near their home in southeastern Peru.

The group of friends also claimed that they found a small mummified and elongated humanoid skull at a spot near where they found the hand. They allowed the paranormal researcher Brien Foerster and his team to examine the mysterious specimens. But they allegedly declined to give specific information about the location of the cave and tunnel where they found the strange hand and skull remains.

Although paranormal and UFO enthusiasts declared the alleged "alien hand" and skull as evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial beings, skeptics have dismissed the latest claim by paranormal researcher Brien Foerster and his Hidden Inca Tours team as a hoax.

But Foerster insisted that he examined the hand personally in Cusco, Peru, and that he was convinced they were genuine hands of a humanoid creature.

According to Foerster, the person who found the hand did not want to sell it. The owner said he agreed to grant Foerster's team access because he was curious to learn about the nature of the strange objects.

Foerster claimed that he and his team presented the "alien" hand and the elongated skull to physicians in Cusco who conducted X-ray analysis and found that each of the three fingers had six bones, compared with human hands that have only three. The physicians concluded that the hand and skull were genuine biological objects, with real animal bone and skin tissues.

The physicians, according to Foerster, confirmed that the specimens were not Hollywood props or the creation of a hoaxer. The physicians also determined that the hand was not human. But they were unable to identify the type or species of life form the skull and hand had belonged to.

"It was X-rayed and examined by physicians here in Cusco who stated that it clearly was not a human, but was a life form of some kind."

The paranormal researchers said that detailed examination the end of a finger showed that the fingernail was remarkably human in appearance and form. The skin was also very human-looking. Thus, even if the alleged being was not human it must have been very human-like or humanoid.

X-ray analysis also allegedly confirmed that the skin and bones had characteristic mammalian features.

The researchers said that they planned to conduct radiocarbon and DNA testing of the mysterious specimens in the U.S. early in 2017.

But UFO blogger Scott C. Waring warned that DNA tests will not determine if the genome of the creature is alien because "we have no aliens to compare it to."

"DNA results will only say the DNA doesn't match any known species," Waring argued on his UFO Sightings Daily blog.

He argued that the hand and skull might have belonged to different alien individuals of different species because while the skull looked like it belonged to an infant, the hand looked like an adult's.

"Sure there is a skull, but it looks to be the size of an infant, if it is the same species as the hand."

"Several different kinds of aliens may have been working together and died in the Cusco cave tunnel where it was found," Waring concluded.

Some online viewers appeared to find the evidence presented in the video convincing.

"Truly amazing," a YouTube viewer exclaimed. "It makes you question the whole idea of life and how it evolved."

Others argued that the hand was a hoax.

"Maybe someone attached human fingers on top of a fin," a skeptical viewer suggested.

Others claimed that the person presented in the video as a physician was only an actor pretending to be a physician.

"Yeah, lets examine this interesting piece of alien evidence in the middle of my kitchen without any kind of environmental contamination measures or proper tools, just bare handed," a skeptical viewer commented sarcastically. "But, oh, but don't forget the gloves and coat, we are scientists!"

But this is not the first time that Foerster and his team have been involved in controversial investigation of alleged evidence of alien life. He claimed to have sent samples of DNA obtained from the famous Paracas skulls for analysis and that the results showed they contained non-human DNA, presumably of extraterrestrial origin.

The Paracas skulls refer to strange-looking skullls, believed to be about 3,000 years old, found by a team of archaeologists in the Paracas desert area of the Pisco province of southern Peru in 1928. The shape of the skulls sparked a debate, with paranormal enthusiasts insisting they were not human but alien.

However, mainstream scientific researchers insisted that the strangely elongated shape of the skulls was due to the practice of artificial cranial deformation, also known as head-binding.

Head-binding involves apply steady pressure to soft, growing juvenile skulls to distort the shape.

But paranormal researchers, including Foerster, insisted that the unusual shape of the skulls was not due to head-binding. They argued that unlike skulls elongated by head-binding procedures, the Paracas skulls had greater volume and weight than normal human skulls.

Previous studies had shown that head-binding only reshapes the skull. It does not increase its volume and weight.

Foerster claimed that DNA analysis showed that the mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) of the skulls had non-human mutations. This suggested that the humanoid creatures that owned the skulls were not related to Homo sapiens and their close relatives, such as the Neanderthals and the Denisovans.

Alien UFO 'Normandy' Invasion? Mysterious Mothership Flashes Signals To Approaching Smaller Craft Over British Beach

Footage taken on the night of Monday, January 2, 2017, showing a mysterious shimmering UFO hovering over the sea, off the south east coast of the Isle of Wight in England, has sparked debates on multiples UFO forums after some enthusiasts claimed that it shows a mothership UFO flashing signals to an approaching smaller craft.

According to UFO enthusiasts, the footage is the latest evidence corroborating claims from different parts of the world of mysterious UFO activity involving mothership UFOs apparently dropping smaller crafts to Earth or receiving them back on board.

UFO enthusiasts claim that recent multiple UFO videos showing mysterious mothership UFOs alongside smaller crafts, including a slew of footage showing large UFOs apparently dropping smaller crafts to Earth, suggest that a stealth alien invasion of Earth is underway.

UFO hunters claim that the new footage from the Isle of Wight in England shows a mothership UFO sending out signals to retrieve a landing craft it dropped earlier.

The latest "UFO evidence" footage was sent to Mirror Online by a reader. According to UFO enthusiasts, it appears to show a shimmering mothership UFO hovering over the sea, off the coast of Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, flashing secret signals to a smaller craft that appears several seconds into the footage. The footage shows the smaller landing craft apparently responding to the signals by moving toward the mothership and boarding it, UFO hunters claim.

The footage consists of two video clips, about six minutes long, taken just before 9 p.m. on Monday, January 2, 2017, by 22-year-old James Ward. The witness was sitting in his car near his home in Lake, on the English Isle of Wight, and looking toward Shanklin beach, when he noticed a mysterious, large and shimmering UFO hovering in the sky.

The large UFO hovered in the dark sky, flashing signals in different colors. Soon a smaller UFO with a bright white light approached it as if responding to the flashing lights as a signal to approach.

"I was mesmerized by it. I was sat watching and just couldn't believe my eyes," Ward told the Isle of Wight Radio. "I saw a flash and managed to get my phone out and take some pictures and videos. It was surreal."

He told the Mirror that he did not realize he might have captured a large UFO interacting with a smaller UFO until he reviewed the footage later. He said he was stunned to notice, while reviewing the footage, that it appeared to show a large craft flashing signals as a smaller craft approached.

"I was sat in my car and then out of the corner of my eye, I saw these amazing lights in the sky."

"Looking back at the pictures and zooming in it is incredible, there's a much larger object and a very small object that appeared just for a few seconds next to it," the witness said.

Baffled by the sighting, Ward checked the local radar and flight data but found no information that could explain the mysterious sighting.

"I've looked online at various aviation website and there doesn't appear to be anything in that area at the time," he told the Isle of Wight Radio. "I can't think of any other explanation for it."

The latest sighting comes after the Inquisitr reported last February that members of the online UFO community debated and speculated about remarkably similar reports of glowing UFOs dropping "landing pods" over several locations in the U.S.

UFO hunters claimed that the reports could be evidence that a stealth invasion of Earth by hostile alien species was underway.

Some UFO hunters suggested that Ward may have captured on camera the moment that a mothership UFO flashed signals to retrieve a landing craft it dropped earlier. The footage shows clearly a mothershp UFO sending out signals in different colors to a smaller craft which approached and boarded its mothership, according to enthusiasts.

This is not the first time that residents of the Isle of Wight have reported sighting mysterious UFOs. The island is known to be a UFO hotspot. A witness, Chris Shaw, reported in January 2016 that he sighted a mysterious "warp speed" mothership UFO flying over nearby Ryde.

"My God, just seen a UFO... looking up at the stars ahead of me and then all of a sudden it looked like a festival spotlight was above my house," Shaw told On The Wight. "The light was in and above the clouds... I saw it, then it was gone within a flash. It flew above my house towards Sandown."

"It was a round shape, black with a light rim, with a massive mothership size. It must have been doing Mac 10, 20, 50 or warp speed."

The Isle of Wight is located in the English Channel, about 4 miles off the coast of Hampshire. It is the largest and second-most populous English Island.

Sweden's Queen Silvia believes her royal palace is plagued by ghosts and even claims to have MET several friendly phantoms

QUEEN Silvia of Sweden believes her royal palace is haunted with “small and pretty friendly” ghosts.

The royal insisted she was not scared of the “phantoms” roaming the corridors of the 17th-century Drottningholm Palace near Stockholm.

Speaking in a documentary to be aired on public television channel SVT, she said: “There are ghosts, many.

“It’s really exciting. But you don’t get scared,” she said.

When asked whether she had ever seen any of the ghosts, she said “Of course. But they are friendly.

“You sometimes feel that you’re not completely alone.”

Queen Silvia, 73, lives in the UNESCO-listed Royal Palace with her husband, King Carl XVI Gustaf.

They were married 40 years ago, which makes her Sweden’s longest-serving queen.

Princess Christina, the king’s sister, backed the queen’s claims when she was interviewed for the film.

“There is much energy in this house. It would be strange if it didn’t take the form of guises,” the princess said.

The residence on Stockholm’s Lovon Island, which was built in the 1600s, has long been rumoured to house ghosts.

Its ghostly inhabitants reportedly include a “gray man” and a “white lady,” according to a 2010 column in Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.

'Star Trek' UFO Sighting: Admitted Skeptic Captures 'Enterprise' Object Hovering Over Island

An admitted UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) skeptic has captured to photos an object that resembles, he says, the starship Enterprise from the hit science fiction franchise "Star Trek." And although he has shied away from attributing UFOs as alien controlled vehicles or anything other than phenomena that are ultimately explainable, the skeptic admits that he is hard-pressed to offer up an explanation as to what the strange image he captured might be.

The Mirror reported this week that Chad Haines was completely baffled by what was apparently a UFO sighting, where a "Star Trek" spaceship-looking image was caught on a few photos he had shot earlier in the year. The photos depicted a moonlit scene over Random Island, which is across a bit of water from where he lives in eastern Canada.

He told Canadian reporters to whom he gave the UFO photos that he was the "last person" to believe in aliens, UFOs and extraterrestrials. Now, however, the self-described skeptic says he doesn't know what to believe.

Haines said that he was deleting images from his camera, freeing up space for some Christmas photography, when he made the discovery. The photos, which were taken near his house in Clarenville (in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador), show an odd image hovering in the sky. The UFO can be seen to the left of a bright, glaring moon (which is reflected off the water at the bottom of the photos). Its strange shape bears a strange resemblance to the spaceship Enterprise (if seen from the vantage of the ship approaching the viewer's position), which warped into the imagination of the people of Earth as part of the famous "Star Trek" television series (and, later, television serial and motion picture franchise).

Prolific UFO investigator Tyler Glockner, who operates the YouTube channel "SecureTeam10," posted the UFO photos in a video. He noted, "Something [has been] caught flying in the skies over Canada. It looks like a saucer, it kind of looks like the 'Star Trek' ship from the TV series."

As Haines told TC Media, the photos were taken during a starless night, and the UFO moved up and down as it hovered. He said the object was "out there for two or three hours" before quickly flying away, disappearing from sight.

Although he does not know what the object was, Haines is convinced that the object wasn't an airplane and it was much to large to be a drone. Over the years, he said he had seen videos and reports of strange sounds, beams of light, and other phenomena, but was never swayed to think that any of it could not have been by just about anything. But after capturing the UFO images on photos himself, he is a bit more doubtful with regard to the unexplained.

"I couldn't believe it," Haines said of his experience.

His is not the first UFO sighting over Random Island. Back in 1978, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Jim Blackwood reported, along with dozens of other locals, the sighting of what they believed was a UFO hovering over the Canadian island.

The "Star Trek" object spotted in Canada was also the second Enterprise UFO sighting to occur in 2016. A family out sightseeing in West Yorkshire in the United Kingdom noticed, after reviewing photos they had taken while on their jaunt, a dark image in one of the photos they had shot, according to The Sun. Enlarged, the object looked like a disk with two elongated bars extending away from it.

The image prompted a Facebook user, Gary Raymer, to comment, "It looks like the USS Enterprise."

Speculation abounded as to what the photographed "Star Trek" image might actually be, but Philip Mantle, the former director of investigations for the British UFO Research Association, believes the object can be explained. He says that two clues suggest that the image is not a UFO. The fact that the object was not noticed at the time the photo was taken and that the object in question, when enlarged, has a pronounced "halo" around it (which suggests the object was very close to the lens when the photo was taken).

"When you look at the location where the photo was taken it is probably a grass pollen," Mantle says, "a bug of some kind or something similar."

As for Chad Haines' "Star Trek" UFO, an enlargement of the image does not produce a "halo" effect, although he, too, did not notice the strange object in the night sky when he was shooting photos over Random Island. The UFO remains unexplained.

Mystery cosmic radio bursts pinpointed

They're one of the most persistent puzzles in modern astronomy.

As the name suggests, Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are short-lived - but powerful - pulses of radio waves from the cosmos.

Their brevity, combined with the fact that it's difficult to pinpoint their location, have ensured their origins remain enigmatic.

Outlining their work at a major conference, astronomers say they have now traced the source of one of these bursts to a different galaxy.

It's an important step to finally solving the mystery, which has spawned a variety of different possible explanations, from black holes to extra-terrestrial intelligence.

The first FRB was discovered in 2007, in archived data from the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia. Astronomers were searching for new examples of magnetised neutron stars called pulsars, but found a new phenomenon - a radio burst from 2001. Since then, 18 FRBs - also referred to as "flashes" or "sizzles" - have been found in total.

"I don't exaggerate when I say there are more theories for what these could be than there are observed bursts," first author of the new study, Shami Chatterjee, told the BBC's Science in Action programme.

All FRBs were found using single-dish radio telescopes that are unable to narrow down the sources' locations with enough precision to further characterise the flashes. 

But Dr Chatterjee, from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and colleagues used a multi-antenna radio telescope called the Karl G Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico, which had sufficient resolution to precisely determine the location of a flash known as FRB 121102.

Unlike all the others, this FRB - discovered in 2012 - has recurred several times.

"When we reported last year that one of these objects was repeating, that - in one go - knocked out about half of those models, because for this one source, at least, we knew it couldn't be explosive. It had to be something where the engine that produced this survived for the next flash."

In 83 hours of observing time over six months in 2016, the VLA detected nine bursts from FRB 121102. 

"We now know that this particular burst comes from a dwarf galaxy more than three billion light-years from Earth," said Dr Chatterjee. That's a staggering distance from Earth, underlining just how energetic these flashes are. 

"That simple fact is a huge advance in our understanding of these events."

The team has published their findings in Nature journal and has outlined them at the 229th American Astronomical Society (AAS) meeting in Grapevine, Texas.

Since this is the only known repeating burst, it's possible it could represent a completely different phenomenon to other FRBs.

In addition to detecting the bright bursts from FRB 121102, the team's observations also revealed an ongoing, persistent source of weaker radio emission in the same region. 

The flashes and the persistent source must be within 100 light-years of each other, and scientists think they are likely to be either the same object or physically associated with one another.

"This persistent radio source could be an active galactic nucleus (AGN) at the centre of a galaxy that's feeding (consuming matter from its surroundings), sending out jets, and these sizzles we see are little bits of plasma being vaporised in the jets," said Dr Chatterjee.

"That's not the interpretation we favour. The one we favour is that maybe it's a baby magnetar - a neutron star with a massive magnetic field - and it's got a nebula surrounding it that's powered by the energy being lost by this object. Every once in a while, we're getting a flash from this baby magnetar."

Prof Heino Falcke, who had investigated FRBs, but was not involved in the latest study said that, even without a clear answer, the new findings were a "game changer". But he admitted several features associated with FRB 121102 remained mystifying.

He agreed that some features of the radio source resembled those associated with large black holes. But he said these were typically found only in large galaxies.

He told BBC News: "Why is this spectacular FRB in such a little, very innocent looking galaxy? There are many things coming together which don't make much sense yet.

"Maybe it's a neutron star orbiting a black hole," he said. This might explain the on-off nature of the bursts. But he added: "Why would that produce an FRB where others don't?" 

Further research will be needed to clarify the nature of the flashes, and to determine whether all FRBs are caused by the same phenomenon - or have different causes.
