In the company of the many apocryphal tinkerings of eminent engineer Nikola Tesla, the most aggressive right be his flying fad, which a few sources avow was an ion-propelled hew that would fly deficient use of wings, ailerons, propellers, or an onboard devotee seller. This craft would be light, thoughtlessly, and ordinary not of any natural design. Tesla held this craft would fly by powering itself from electrical stations on the ground but deficient regularly having to respectable connect to them, uncongenially recharge, as it were. Whichever possess the shape of the craft would possess been either cylindrical or saucer-like.
While Tesla's ruminations on the view right not be in intact examination, the speculation that he got very far amid the view is extremely vague. While acquaint with do sound to be unaccounted for patents in the lunar trove of documents flanked by to Tesla's revolutionary work, acquaint with is small to manifest from attendant documents and the prevalent work of his at the time that he was even looking in that processing in any enormous sanity.
One unsound report has it that work on such a dodge was begun in the late 1920s, being financed by the likes of J. P. Morgan and seeing fruition in 1938. Plus, riotous conclude attributes WW2 foo fighter and unconventional flying saucer sightings--nay, the whole UFO phenomenon--to this fabrication or a few invariable iteration.
If we peer at Tesla's patents from the late 1920s, we see he was piece on an multi-colored flying fad. Yet, a eager decipher reveals that his revolutionary dodge would possess lower in friendly amid the Jetsons than amid such law-abiding feeling vehicles such as the Osprey and Harrier employed by the USAF.
"U.S. Tidy 1,655,113 - Develop OF Projection Transportation - 1928 January 3 - VTOL aeroplane; Describes a funds of achieved law-abiding feeling, transition to and from direct flight, and law-abiding landing, amid a sloping rotor. By means of exile which consists in sea green by the propelling dodge a law-abiding thrust in waste away of the normal, causing thereby the fad to bulge in an disclose law-abiding processing, sloping it and collectively budding the embrace of the motor and thereby the propeller thrust, subsequently little by little sinking the propeller thrust as established velocity is gained and the plane takes up the load, from now maintaining the thrilling force with care resolute wearing flight, sloping the fad bear witness to to its distinct way of behaving and at the same time budding the embrace if the motor and thrust of the propeller and finishing a landing under the off-putting signal of the same."
This empty summary right illustrates a hew stopping at nearly all expected thrust in an self-sufficient way. This is revolutionary to be sure, but far from any ion-propulsion technology.
But much similar DaVinci and other master inventors who seemed far into view of their grow old, a quasi-mystical cult has arisen in the awaken of Tesla's fleeting, nourishing the gaps amid all sorts of unsound tales of beautiful inventions, amid fly-by-night light, initiative film making, force fields, and advanced. So, why not add UFOs to the list as well?

We've touched on this previous to through out of the ordinary blog postings, but a even out of "The Black Hole War" by Leonard Susskind [Instant, Flatter and Bash, NY, 2008] allows for an extrapolation of our views.
The amount to tenor of Susskind's bring up of black holes and his dismay through Stephen Hawking's considering held impression about black holes and information (the harm of it) revolves sharply the beliefs that quantum theory applies to black holes....everything macroscopic totally than very small, which is in general the authority of quantum reality.
Sizeable elements of reality display incessantly been eschewed by quantum physicists, but Susskind, and others, layer quantum procedure to black holes, which are an egregious share out of large reality:
"Jacob Bekenstein [a noted Israeli physicist]...had a concept that black holes had everything lofty to say about the laws of nature. He was exactly discerning in how black holes power fit calm through the principles of Quantum Mechanics and thermodynamics that had so aimless Einstein." [Tone 147]
So we course, on paper, that UFOs may be quantum artifacts - large quantum particles as it were.
UFOs version out of the ordinary aspects of quantum theory: the indeterminacy of location, outlook (indicator) of UFOs beat them, and their reality is university, not organic in reasonable, mold language.
Quantum artifacts event in puzzling, exceptional ways, as you make out. UFOs event uniformly.
UFOs, better-quality evenly than not, fade later observed, curt totally than little by little, according to most UFO sighting-reports.
The Hungarian physicist Eugene Wigner [1902-1995] hypothetical this:
"Having the status of we turn out perceptive of everything, we bout about the key in grant of the activity responsibility, so that the unknown different states of [reality] fade. [Tone 148, "Introducing Quantum Inkling", Totem Books, NY, 1997].
UFOs event, overall, as brunt totally than particles, but they display had stuff, ostensibly, as fine distinction elements of them display been unobjectionably reported; other than, they event better-quality willingly as brunt (of light), especially in current period.
As for quantum, Niels Bohr hypothetical this:
"Whether an object behaves as row or activity depends on your sip of machine for looking at it. [Tone 160, Ibid]
Bohrs inkling applies to Paul Kimball's dear UFO carnival, the supposed RB-47 sighting of 1957.
Erwin Schrodinger (of dead/live cat personality) conjectured that particles - let us include UFOs impart - do not exist at all, but are traveling fair a "superimposition of brunt" [Tone 140, Ibid]
Being quantum mechanics/theory is hidden for numerous, we think it may be a store -- a get in touch with - for speak of the UFO phenomenon.
We'll go on this university lurch impart (and away).....

Date: From 2/63 to 8/64 Time: Approx: 11:30 p.m.
I was in the Air Police at Clark AFB from 2/63 to 8/64. I was on post one night about 11:30 p.m. on the far end of the run way where they kept the uploaded 102s. I had a radio on my post so I could hear all of the action. All at once CSC called the Strike Team to go down to the end of the Runway close to where my post was and check to see if they could find anything on the runway. The radar site had picked up something large on the runway. I saw the Strike Team search the area and they called in that they did not find anything. Everyone went back to normal and I did not think much of it all. Then the Radar Site called back and they picked up the large object again coming on the runway from the Jungle.
This time they had a lot of troops searching the area. I was thinking that if this was some aliens and they were looking for specimens to take back with them than I was probably the best candidate as I was very close to the action but all along. I would not even be missed for a long time. This is the only time I was really scarred during my 4 years in the Air Police. I could feel the hairs going up on my back. To make a long story short nothing was ever found but it has to be something large enough for our Radar to pick up.
Thank you to the person for their report.

CARACAS, Venezuela - Edward Snowden, the leaker of NSA surveillance documents, was granted asylum in Venezuela on Friday. With safe harbors in sight, Snowden was willing to share shocking and world-shattering exclusive secret government documents with The Internet Chronicle.
SNOWDEN'S TESTIMONY WAS AS FOLLOWS:
"The highest levels of government don't know what to do about UFOs, and the official story that they are all merely weather balloons or natural phenomena have been clearly dismissed. If anything, these documents speak about UFOs as if they are surely guided by an intelligence beyond our own. As it turns out, the most credible and inexplicable sightings are of vehicles that have been spotted leaving the sea floor at hydrothermal vents and directly entering solar orbit...
"Because ballistic missile tracking systems and deep-sea sonar are kept as state secrets, scientists don't have access to data about these objects. However, most of the contractors at DARPA are sure that there is a species more intelligent than homo sapiens living in the mantle of the Earth. It makes sense, if you think about it, because that is the only place where conditions have been more or less stable for billions of years. Extremophiles may live at different temperatures than us, but they have been able to thrive and develop intelligence at a seemingly accelerated rate. That's not true, because they've simply evolved at the same rate, but without many of the vicissitudes which set back surface life...
"The president receives daily briefings about their activities. Analysts believe their technology to be so far advanced that we stand little chance of survival in any potential war. The general sentiment is that we are but ants from their perspective, so there is little chance they would empathize or attempt to communicate with us, and the current contingency plan is to detonate nuclear weapons in deep caverns to 'sting' the foe we have no hope of destroying in hopes it would discourage further attacks."
Critics may allege that what the 30-year-old former NSA and CIA contractor can state with authority about our ultraterrestrial neighbors is already well-known. But the Ground-Penetrating Radar, or GPR, scans, which The Internet Chronicle has shared and confirmed with sources within intelligence community, will only serve to underscore popular bitterness over strategically timed earthquakes and tsunamis.
Just as PRISM shined a new light on goings-on in NSA's ECHELON computer systems, revealed in the 1990s, the vast complexes of underground cities - laser-etched from pure diamond - apparent in the GPR scans will transform public debate about the balance between liberty and security.

YETI/BIGFOOT AND UFOS. Equally IS THE CONNECTION?
Trial by SW/LITS.
Scientists from a come out of countries (Russia, the U.S., Canada, Sweden, Estonia, Mongolia and Chinaware), motion conference this week (Thursday - Saturday), to assessment the existence of the extremely well creatures familiar as the Abominable snowman.
From this conference, a circle of scientist motion be sent out to scrub the Kemerovo and native Altai region, about 1,988 miles (3,200 kilometers) east of Moscow, in search of the elusive "ape-man".
The scientists motion reach evidence of the existence of the creatures, such as winding twigs, route of up to 14 inches (35 centimeters) and flatten fastener tail huts. Power motion overly involve all hearing recordings and photographs and it is flatten held by address on the point of wardens, that evidence was obtained by a motion-triggered camera in a underground cave 50 miles from Tashtagol.
Though present-day had been a extreme minor excursion in September, this new excursion motion be the first of its make up since 1958, since scientists from the Soviet Academy of Sciences searched Western Siberia, in an entrance to commit a Abominable snowman.
Igor Burtsev, head of the Moscow-based Large-scale Complicated of Hominology, in the past few minutes assumed, "Having the status of Homo sapiens started populating the world, it brutally exterminated its flanking background in the hominid lineage, Homo neanderthalensis. At all of the Neanderthals, all the same, may chomp survived to this day in more than a few undulating wooded habitats that are elder or smaller quantity off grounds to their arch foes."
Atmosphere these scientists get trapped in totally proof of the existence of the Yeti? I long for them unplanned, as it seems researchers featuring in in our own accept courtyard can't gang to get trapped in proof of the existence of our own Bigfoot (background of the Yeti?), or proof auspicious evidence of Outer space visits from farther space.
If the scientists and researchers do get trapped in proof of Abominable snowman, Bigfoot, aliens, or any of the lots other cryptids maxim featuring in on our own planet, how is that leaving to rear-ender our lives? Are they all amalgamated in more than a few way? I'm absent to ecstasy... and so are lots others.

Limerick OF GILGAMESH: (Connotation OF Conjuring AND Rummage) called AnnunakiBIBLE (SONS OF GOD AND WOMEN OF MEN) called Nephilim
The Nephilim were the spawn of the "SONS OF GOD" and the "DAUGHTERS OF MEN" according to Crack of dawn 6:4; and giants who built-up Canaan according to Gather together 13:33. They were described as "GIANTS."
The Sumerians disc, Limerick of Gilgamesh, the Annunaki were apparently the spawn of two deities; Anu and Ki. This is in expansion unite as well apparently alien deities. They were thoroughly described as very tall and absolutely shapeshifting.
Enjoyably, the Bible and The Limerick of Gilgamesh every one told of a stream to remove without spring mankind and every one describe these shared God/half human type spawn who were reported as tall. Whenever you what you see notate cultures in to expand whatever thing unusual, you affirm to mind if near was whatever thing on earth that desired explaining.
Dr. Melba Ketchum's in a moment reported Bigfoot DNA report told of a odd hominin that mated as well a furnish human and bent an spawn steady to us today as Abominable snowman or Bigfoot. Skill were that this odd hominin short-lived showed up in Bigfoot DNA throng, but not our DNA throng. The discontinue of this would affirm to be one of three possibilities; this odd hominin is one we affirm not dug up yet and archived DNA for, it was of alien (Sub-zero) inception, or it was the Nephilim/Annunaki.
LET'S Cut A Casing FOR All Character OF THESE SCENARIOS -
Greatest real not bad explanation (OKKAM'S Cook's knife) is that near was a hominin that we affirm not accounted for yet. The awake as well this is that this odd hominin DNA has not away from home up in the fundamental the family that we let run into of. So, if it was mating as well humans in the ancient history, the austerely thing it mated as well was a few women who oversee these destiny Bigfoot spawn. If we can mark out traces of Neanderthal or Denisovan in our DNA throng about continents, this guy include to be swimming in the vicinity in our genes too.
In the plan that involves an alien hermit, the hardest curtailed to sham featuring in is that this alien being was able to pal as well human women and get salaried spawn. The options featuring in are that this alien was in innovation curtailed of our transmissible inception, a entrance of kin of our clear out somewhere your private residence (Wearing TO Give in Unmovable HIS Graphic Difference - IF HE Decoration THE Couch AND HAIR-COVERED Propriety TO THE BIGFOOT ATTRIBUTES) or DNA operate was undertaken (Favor IN Terminology OF Unrelated ABDUCTIONS AND IMPREGNATION). Why they would beg to do this and overly try these tall buzzing beings to wrap in the woodlands doesn't crop any trouble. Bigfoot doesn't bell to affirm any resolve governing body featuring in or dialect to "Observe" him.
The last plan amid Nephilim/Annunaki, is very dark, based on mythology and unlimited stories of angels and aliens. As unmanageable as these concepts mode, two rupture ancient texts tell of recurring events which seems to distinguish in the most minuscule pit of truth. Seeing that happened in our ancient history to model of such notions? Did they encounter these tremendous beings and set in motion up as well an explanation for it and, plump their commandment of booming science was cynical, they attributed it to whatever thing je ne sais quoi in origin? If aliens or angels mated as well humans, why? And why would they absolutely affirm DNA to add to a uncontested being? Why the roll to mate? And, wouldn't these half-breed superhumans be dominating upon the earth and not unobtrusive shy creatures?
The era we are most real to looking back the Nephilim/Annunaki in reports of Bigfoot being other dimensional or having nonsensically persuasive central abilities, failing in mid step, and sincerely speech to us. These sorts of weird attributes would be accountable for one to this explanation for Bigfoot's inception. Why does he grip on to shy and wrap from us? Why is he able to prevention us so well? The answers may well be in an blessed or alien inception. At trademark, this is what believers gossip.
And, keep to Dr. Ketchum's study; if this candidly is supportive whatever thing odd that showed up out of nowhere and mated as well in the most minuscule women, as of this hard work of giants, one would affirm to clear out newborn have another look at of the nonentity of Nephilm - the sons of God and daughters of man - a mix on earth that may well affirm had request possessions for a the family called Bigfoot.

The photographs were taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera on board Mars Express, the European Space Agency probe which is exploring the planet.Scientists led by a University of Texas geologist report that data from an unmanned NASA space probe suggests there's much more ice on Mars than previously thought. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, according to an article in the journal Science, has identified several dirt-covered glaciers - including one that is three times longer than the city of Los Angeles and up to a half-mile thick. The glaciers may be remnants of warmer conditions on the Red Planet.Earlier this year, another spacecraft, NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander, scratched below the dirt-covered plains of the planet's North Pole to uncover a glistening slab of ice. The latest findings, from a team of 11 scientists led by John W. Holt of the University of Texas, will appear in today's edition of Science, a publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Mars is a cold, dry realm. But long channels and what appear to be watersheds in the rugged terrain suggest to some scientists that water once flowed or pooledgnals from the orbiter penetrated the dirt-covered features and were reflected back at velocities con on the planet. In addition, Mars may undergo periodic climate swings linked to changes in its axis. During these changes, the north pole dips, exposing the region to higher temperatures, possibly thawing the ice. The Mars Orbiter used radar to examine the Hellas Basin, an ancient asteroid impact region in the planet's southern hemisphere. The scientists supervising the 700 million project were interested in the area's gently sloping features at the edges of mountains and cliffs. The radar sisistent with radio waves passing through ice, the scientists said.The spacecraft also spotted similar sloping formations extending from cliffs in the northern hemisphere. If Mars once hosted a more substantial atmosphere and warmer climes, then water may have fostered some form of life. Water would prove valuable to future human explorers as well. Its chemical elements, oxygen and hydrogen, can be used as rocket propellants, and oxygen, of course, is a source of air for breathing.A giant patch of frozen water has been pictured nestled within an unnamed impact crater on Mars!The ice disc is located on Vastitas Borealis, a broad plain that covers much of Mars' far northern latitudes.The existence of the water-ice patch on Mars raises the prospect that past or present life will one day be detected.It also boosts the chances that manned missions could eventually be sent to the Red Planet - because they would probably need accessible water to survive.Highly visible The highly visible ice lake is sitting in a crater which is 35 km (23 miles) wide, with a maximum depth of about two km (1.2 miles).Scientists believe the water-ice is present all year round because the temperature and pressure are not sufficient to allow it to change states.Researchers studying the images are sure it is not frozen carbon dioxide (CO2), because CO2 ice had already disappeared from the north polar cap at the time the image was taken.The team has also been able to detect faint traces of water-ice along the rim of the crater and on the crater walls.Mars is covered with deep gorges, apparently carved out by rivers and glaciers, although most of the water vanished millions of years ago.Earlier this year, the European Space Agency detected what they called a huge "frozen sea", but it is located below a crust of surface deposits.Large reserves of water-ice are also known to be held at the poles on Mars, and probably at great depth at many locations around the planet.

NOVEMBER 15, 2013 - SPACE - NASA's chief closed out the space agency's first campaign to commercialize spaceflight on Wednesday, marking a transition to more ambitious efforts to create new U.S. spaceships that could send astronauts into orbit - and perhaps back to the moon someday."We just finished taking the Olympic torch up to space last week, and getting it back down," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said during a televised ceremony at the agency's Washington headquarters. "So in a way, this is passing another torch."WATCH: NASA celebrates the successes of its commercial space program. Orbital Sciences' Antares rocket lifts off from its Virginialaunch pad on a demonstration flight to the International Space Station in September. The Antares-Cygnus mission marked the final chapter in the COTS saga. Bolden and other NASA officials said the lessons learned during COTS were being applied to the agency's Commercial Crew Program, which supports the development of commercial spaceships for carrying humans into orbit. More than a billion dollars has already been committed for work on three prototype spaceships offered by SpaceX, the Boeing Co. and Sierra Nevada Corp. On Wednesday, NASA said it would announce its requirements for the final phase of development on Nov. 19."It's now critically important to get full funding from Congress to keep us on track to begin these launches in 2017," Bolden said.Coincidentally, NASA's inspector general released an audit on Wednesday saying that the Commercial Crew Program faced several obstacles that could keep it from meeting the 2017 goal - including a 1.1 billion budget gap between the agency's requests and the money it's received. Missing the target date would mean continued reliance on Russia for orbital crew transport, at a cost of more than 70 million per seat.KEYS TO SUCCESSAlan Lindenmoyer, the manager of NASA's Commercial Crew and Cargo Program, said COTS succeeded in part because of commercial competition and the fact that "NASA did not pay the full cost" of development.SpaceX's president and chief operating officer, Gwynne Shotwell, noted that her company received 396 million from NASA that went toward the 850 million total cost of creating the Falcon 9 and the Dragon. Without NASA's help, SpaceX could not have created those spaceships as quickly as it did, Shotwell said.The idea is that NASA benefits from a transport service that can be used for non-NASA space missions as well. SpaceX already has a multibillion-dollar manifest for commercial Falcon launches, and Orbital Sciences says it's negotiating with several companies for future Antares missions."This is American ingenuity at its best, resulting in safe, reliable and cost-effective space transportation," Lindenmoyer said.The program paid out money only after pre-set development milestones were reached. Orbital, for example, reportedly received the final chunk of its 288 million allocation just this month for achieving its final COTS milestones. One of the original participants in the COTS program, Rocketplane Kistler, received 32 million from NASA for meeting early milestones, but had to bow out in 2007 when it couldn't attract enough outside investment to satisfy the agency's requirements. The company later filed for bankruptcy.COMMERCIALIZE THE MOON?On Tuesday, Nevada-based Bigelow Aerospace publicized a NASA-commissioned report that called for extending the COTS model to lunar exploration and settlement. More than 40 years after the Apollo moonshots, NASA's efforts to send astronauts back to the lunar surface have been stymied by the high price tag - but commercial ventures such as the Golden Spike Co. say they can turn a profit from low-cost trips to the moon.Bigelow Aerospace's billionaire founder, Robert Bigelow, said the U.S. government should add further incentives for commercial moon missions by recognizing lunar property rights.He emphasized that no nation - whether it's the United States or China - should assert sovereignty over lunar territory. That's ruled out by the 1967 Outer Space Treaty. However, the treaty's language on private property rights is more ambiguous. Bigelow is asking the U.S. government to work on a system for recognizing such rights."No one 'anything' should own the moon," Bigelow told CNBC. "But yes, multiple entities, groups, individuals, yes, they should have the opportunity to own the moon."WATCH: CNBC's Jane Wells speaks to Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace about owning parts of the moon, and how worried he is about China.

Date: Reveal September of 2011Time: Nightfall. So long, my acquaintances and I were out behind midnight participating in in Chico, CA at the beginning of the instructor rendezvous, forcibly September of 2011. We saw two UFOs that night. One appeared to be a beyond measure meteor that I was uneasy was leave-taking to hit Search firm us. It was a beyond measure raging rock and it reasonable hung in mid-air for about 10 or 15 seconds with it descended out of stage. The add-on UFO was a courtyard bent aircraft that appeared to gobble a gyrating ocher disc forcibly it. My link saw the ocher too, and asked me what it was. I swear it appeared the ocher gyrating disc was the way it inspired. No noticeable normal engines or anything either. It crossed the sky apt untouchable us. It appeared to be flying condense than a normal airplane, but not absolutely approaching. If you gobble seen anything in the same way as this in the awfully area absorb be earn plenty to contact Brian Vike at: "sighting@telus.net" plus the details of your sighting.

UFO SIGHTING IN OHIO ON JUNE 23RD 2013 - BALL OF ORANGE AND WHITE LIGHT FLYING HORIZONTALLY EAST. WAS LARGE WHEN FIRST SIGHTED, THEN SMALLER WHEN ACROSS THE SKY THEN FULLY DISAPPEARED.
Myself and two others were sitting outside and one person looked up and said "what is that?" We all got up and looked. One said is that a plane? No it kinda looks like a blimp on fire! It continued on a straight path going east and slowly got smaller as it got farther away. Two other people came outside just as it disappeared into the dark eastern sky. We were really confused and excited and are still talking about what it could have possibly when.

Swiftness 19, 2013 - MARS - NASA's Mars drifter Attract has seen evidence of water-bearing minerals in rocks practical someplace it had otherwise found clay minerals secret a drilled rock. Enclosure week, the rover's science buzz announced that elucidation of submit from a drilled mudstone rock on Mars indicates past immature become rough that were lucky for microbial life. Further product vacant today (Swiftness 18) at a news direct at the Cosmological and Solar Science Contract in The Woodlands, Texas, honor those become rough firm superfluous the site of the drilling. Using infrared-imaging flair of a camera on the drifter and an organization that shoots neutrons during the ground to probe for hydrogen, researchers have possession of found expand hydration of minerals practical the clay-bearing rock than at locations Attract visited forgotten. The rover's Mast Camera (Mastcam) can equally facilitate as a mineral-detecting and hydration-detecting instrument, reported Jim Scare of Arizona Voters Theoretical, Tempe. "More than a few iron-bearing rocks and minerals can be detected and mapped by the use of the Mastcam's near-infrared filters." Ratios of brightness in substitute Mastcam near-infrared wavelengths can secure the apparition of quite a few hydrated minerals. The way was used to hinder rocks in the "Yellowknife Bay" area someplace Curiosity's problem last month levelheaded the first submit from the domestic of a rock on Mars. More than a few rocks in Yellowknife Bay are crisscrossed surrounded by bright veins. "Between Mastcam, we see exalted hydration signals in the rigorous veins that cut many of the rocks in this area," said Melissa Rice of the California Pioneer of Apparatus, Pasadena. "These bright veins support hydrated minerals that are substitute from the clay minerals in the about rock matrix." The Russian-made Motivating Albedo of Neutrons (DAN) organization on Attract detects hydrogen beneath the drifter. At the rover's very dry assay area on Mars, the detected hydrogen is principally in water molecules step during minerals. "We right see signal variety put down the drive from the landing object to Yellowknife Bay," said DAN Depute Chief Researcher Axiom Litvak of the Have time out Study Pioneer, Moscow. "Higher water is detected at Yellowknife Bay than forgotten on the stripe. Regular inwards Yellowknife Bay, we see costly variety." Upshot vacant today from the Canadian-made Alpha Disintegrate X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) on Curiosity's arm secure that the wet immature processes that produced clay at Yellowknife Bay did so not up to scratch appreciably conversion in the well-known mix of chemical elements challenge. The ultimate stage management of the bulge Attract drilled during matches the stage management of basalt. For insistence, it has basalt-like proportions of silicon, aluminum, magnesium and horizontal. Basalt is the most run of the mill rock type on Mars. It is igneous, but it is equally scrutiny to be the parent substantial for sedimentary rocks Attract has examined. "The ultimate stage management of rocks in Yellowknife Bay wasn't distorted appreciably by remove seeds from swing," said Attract science buzz aficionada Mariek Schmidt of Brock Theoretical, Saint Catharines, Ontario, Canada. A rub wash down on rocks had ready the stage management detected by APXS not moderately a reckoning for basalt until Attract used a forget about to launder the rub on sale. After that, APXS saw under sulfur. "By removing the rub, we've got a fail even that pushes the category toward basaltic stage management," Schmidt said. The sedimentary rocks at Yellowknife Bay budding fashioned to the same degree original basaltic rocks were cultivated during garbage, feverish, re-deposited as sedimentary particles, and mineralogically untouched by expression to water. NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Point is by the use of Attract to assess whether an area inwards Mars' Charge Hollow space has habitually supplied an ecological unit lucky for microbial life. Attract, haulage 10 science instruments, landed seven months ago to enlargement its two-year about to assignment. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages the project for NASA's Science Trade Directorate in Washington. - Daily GALAXY.MARS Make out RAISES QUESTION: No matter what IS LIFE?NASA officials announced Swiftness 12 that ancient Mars possibly will have possession of supported vital life. But this begs the question: No matter what solely constitutes life? Merriam-Webster.com defines life as "an organismic state characterized by intensity for metabolism, accumulation, point of view to stimuli and emboss." But there's no discrete okay explanation of life. "I hold it is a wait to try to segregate life, to the same degree we have possession of presently one insistence of life, comfortable life on World, and we have possession of reason to take that this insistence may be unreliable of life in all-embracing," Carol Cleland, a philosopher of science at the Theoretical of Colorado, Remove seeds from, told LiveScience in an email. No matter what is life? Major the phenomenon is a question. CREDIT: imageZebra ShutterstockMajor SelfAristotle ready the first turn at a explanation, describing life as whatever thing that grows, maintains itself and reproduces. But this explanation would go along with mules, which are sterile, seeing that by means of clothing delight dispatch. Aptitude life whatever thing that has a metabolism, the capability to convene in vitality to be a picture of health or move and excrete fritter away, is no express either; cars do this, for insistence. In 1944, the physicist Erwin Schr"odinger gave life a explanation based on the blink law of thermodynamics, which states that the entropy, or tumult, of a bunged system increases over time. Schr"odinger rigid life as whatever thing that decreases or maintains its entropy. Yet this explanation fails to the same degree it includes crystals, which differ entropy by forming capably structured lattices. Gravel to segregate life by its character is the misdemeanor direction, Cleland said. As an insistence, she cites scientists' preparatory attempts to segregate water in lexis of properties delight being wet, transparent and a express solvent. "We didn't segregate water as H2O, but earlier discovered, in the context of molecular theory, that it is a chemical idea serene regularly of H2O molecules," Cleland said. Self on World is as normal alienated during two inner groups: the cellular life forms, which hug archaea, germ and eukarya (all the plants and flora and fauna), and non-cellular life forms, delight viruses. Whether viruses, which can pretend to be presently secret the cells of a pioneer living being, count as "life" is debated.Self IN THE CosmosConclusion an enclosed explanation for life may not be so unsympathetic, astrobiologist Chris McKay of NASA's Ames Study Development in California wrote in an email to LiveScience. It's "appreciably fail to have possession of an victim of what life is built of," McKay said. "Self is built of matted, whole molecules." Characterizing life is important for identifying it in a world of your own in the universe, a destiny now superfluous the set down of science fiction. McKay said that if life exists wherever else, it would be a substantial system budding through emboss, mutation and moral top-notch. Further than World, one of the first sitting room humans have possession of required to obtain life is Mars. The Viking Trade in the 1970s looked for evidence of life in the Martian land-dwelling. One test appeared to obtain evidence of metabolic reactions, but these were dismissed as impending from a apathetic stream (as quite a few relaxing sense those have a row). Between the announcement that NASA's Attract drifter has found evidence that life possibly will have possession of bearing in mind existed on Mars, Attract has answered the examine it set out to assay in November 2011. The finding comes average seven months after the drifter landed on the Red Humanity on Aug. 5, 2012. Supreme that Mars possibly will have possession of supported life, McKay said, "Now we intend to good for it." - Have time out.

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. You may notice that this and future entries are shorter than usual; career, family and book deal commitments have forced me to cut back some of my projects. Now, here's today's news:g STARS - What is the habitable zone for the nearby brown dwarf LP 944-020?g ABODES - The jarosite group minerals have received increasing attention since the discovery of jarosite on the martian surface by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. See article.g LIFE - Scientists studying the potential for life on extrasolar planets are looking at the light spectrum to determine what kind of photosynthesis plants might use on other planets. Plants on distant worlds may look very different than our own depending on the light from their planet's parent star. See article.g MESSAGE - When the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft were launched in 1977, they each included a gold-plated phonograph record (a "golden record") of natural sounds, greetings in human voices, and a variety of music. The record cover has symbolic instructions that show how to use and understand the record, though scientists still debate whether other civilizations will be able to decipher them. Click here for info on Voyager's golden record and here for an explanation of the record cover diagram. See article.g COSMICUS - Artificial intelligence is giving a boost to Mars Express as it searches for signs of past or present life on Mars. See article.g AFTERMATH - If we establish communication with a civilization even as close as 100 light years from Earth, the round-trip time for a message and its reply is 200 years. What will be the psychology of a civilization that can engage in a meaningful conversation with this sort of delay? How is such a conversation to be established? What should the content of such a conversation be? These are the questions which motivate this article's title: "Minds and Millennia: The Psychology of Interstellar Communication." See article.

A WORD ABOUT CRYPTOLINKS: WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT OF CRYPTOLINKS, WHICH ARE MERELY LINKS TO OUTSIDE ARTICLES THAT WE THINK ARE INTERESTING, USUALLY POSTED UP WITHOUT ANY COMMENT WHATSOEVER FROM ME.
Today I found out the origin of the Bigfoot legend.Stories of a giant, hairy creature that appears half man and half ape have existed in various parts of the world for many centuries. In fact, the only continent not to have stories of "wild men" is Antarctica. In the Himalayas, it's the Yeti. In Canada, it's the Sasquatch. And in the northwest United States, it's Bigfoot. Bigfoot is described by believers as being between six and eight feet tall with a large forehead and pronounced brow, like a cave man's, and a rounded, crested head like a gorilla's. He is covered in brown or red hair and has enormous feet that are his namesake, with the biggest estimation at a whopping two feet long by eight inches wide. Some "witnesses" claim that the five-toed Bigfoot prints they saw on the ground were accompanied by claw marks (not unlike a five-toed, clawed paw print of a bear-but rational explanations aren't as fun).
Stories of a "wild man" existed among the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest long before white colonists moved in. Versions of Bigfoot ranged from harmless giants who stole fish from fishermen's nets, to cannibalistic monsters living on mountain peaks. These stories varied from tribe to tribe, and even from family to family, which meant that Bigfoot had a lot of different names. In the 1920s, J.W. Burns compiled the local legends for a series for a Canadian newspaper, coining the term "Sasquatch" in the process.

Its on the east side of Oslo close to a big forest and a undersized lake. I'm am 37 living old gone a spouse and son (age 8). I be marked with sent you a report with beforehand, but this is not a hint in the vicinity of that. On the 24 of November I established to speed a walk to get some vivacious air since I've been in all day what I be marked with this futile. The time was 5 min to 6 in the afternoon, dreary and dismal. Its November and it gets dismal at huskily 4:00 pm after I hastily heard this powerful jet coherent from pompous. It was so loud that any other coherent finished. I looked up and to my trepidation I saw a relationship of a red tail light, 2 strobes in the basis, a light at all "wing tip" and a light in front wall of the 2 strobes. I can not see a shape of an jet. It flew maybe 500 m pompous the ground and to heavy to be a ordinary jet. The coherent didn't go with the speed if you converge what I mean. I indigence see other lights huskily it's stem if it was a ordinary aircraft, but I did not. I figured it had the character of the "Manta Ray" filmed in Pine Hedge plant. I do not converge if it was alien or some secret government plane, but this bird desired to be seen. It flew instantly over my head and I stood nearby bowled over frustrating to comprehend what I modestly had witnessed. I be marked with not heard of any other reports on this craft here I Norway. So I observe of it, I surprisingly judge any UFO reports in Norway. I prerequisite contribution I be marked with heard this coherent beforehand compensation over our house, but I be marked with not jumped to a window modestly to see what it was. I am sure separation to do that the furthermore time I judge this coherent. If this was the "Manta Ray" why here? Why spiky over my head? I be marked with witnessed plentiful lights in the sky my wide-ranging life, but not a hint as close as this. WOW I told my spouse after I got estate, but she got bashful. Portray are a lot of planes flying over here. From 16-22 the ordinary planes hound the black line. The "Manta rays" fly manner is evident by the red line(picture 1 and 2)If you are friendly I can onward you the pictures. It's a savings account on flight manner and the relationship of the lights.Thank you to the keep details for a giant sighting report.Brian Vike, Planner HBCC UFO Ballot and host of the Vike Distinguish UFO Eyewitness radio show. email: hbccufo@telus.net Website: http://www.hbccufo.org http://www.brianvike.com, http://www.hbccufo.com, http://www.hbccufo.net HBCC UFO Ballot International: http://www.hbccufointernational.org/ Check further, the Vike Distinguish Means of communication Make an exhibition of Blog.

UFO BELIEVERS SAY ET COULD COME CALLING ON THE METRO
KANSAS CITY, MO - A plant under construction in south Kansas City to produce parts for nuclear weapons could soon be getting some visits from outer space, according to local UFO activists who say that recent revelations by former U.S. Air Force officers about UFO sightings at nuclear weapons facilities give their movement new credibility.
The seven former USAF officers claimed, in a press conference this week at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., that they spotted UFO's hovering over nuclear missile silos and storage areas in the 1960's, 70's and 80's. They described the UFO as a glowing red object hovering over the front gate of the facilities. Read rest here
COTE ST. LUC DOCTOR WONDERS IF HE SPOTTED A UFO
It was a sight a Cote St. Luc doctor says he'll never forget.Cleve Ziegler said though it sounds crazy, he spotted what appeared to be UFO above Cavendish Mall at about 1 o'clock Wednesday morning.Ziegler said he was anxious to get home after a long night working in the OR, but saw something as he drove along Cavendish Blvd, that made him stop and exit his vehicle.

JOURNALISM TIPPING POINT: MEDIA COVERAGE OF UFOS NOW SERIOUS
The comprehensive and credible news coverage of a unique press briefing this week indicates that the topics of UFOs and extraterrestrial visitation to Earth are now a reasonable subject of serious journalism.
When former Air Force officers and other military men presented credible information in Washington last Monday about unidentified aerial objects in close proximity to sensitive U.S. military facilities, American newspapers, magazines, TV networks and media organizations of all kinds generally covered the story in professional ways. Read rest here
UFO FILMED AND SEEN BY MANY IN SEOUL, SOUTH KOREAA UFO was seen by a number of witnesses as it hovered over the capital city of South Korea, Seoul. The incident occurred just a few days ago on 25 September at around 5pm.The white, egg shaped object seen in the film below was both still and silent as it hovered above buildings. Witnesses can be heard in the clip declaring the object a UFO.South Korea is not a UFO hot-spot but does get a reasonably high number of UFO sightings reported on yearly basis. The South Korean UFO Research Association has around fifty paid members and investigated around 20 sightings per annually. See video here
THE ROSWELL ARTIFACTS: HOW THEY HIDE THE EVIDENCE
Most all that is written about the Roswell UFO crash of 1947 is focused on the event itself. But if such a crash occurred, the involvement by elements of military and intelligence would be ongoing. The craft, debris and bodies must have been stored and studied in subsequent decades. Even today there must exist an infrastructure in place to store, secure and examine the craft and corpses. Who does this involve? How many would be needed? How difficult would it be to keep secret the physical artifacts of the greatest secret in history? Read rest here
WOULD E.T. BE THE END OF ORGANIZED RELIGION?
One of the most ridiculous statements I have heard from the Atheists camp is that "If an extraterrestrial landed on earth, it would mean the end of religion". I also remember that statement being made on a documentary on the History Channel on UFO's. I believe the statement results more from wishful thinking than real "logic". Read rest here
COULD 'GOLDILOCKS' PLANET BE JUST RIGHT FOR LIFE?
WASHINGTON - Astronomers say they have for the first time spotted a planet beyond our own in what is sometimes called the Goldilockszone for life: Not too hot, not too cold. Juuuust right.Not too far from its star, not too close. So it could contain liquid water. The planet itself is neither too big nor too small for the proper surface, gravity and atmosphere.It's just right. Just like Earth. Read rest here
MYSTERY BEHIND INITIAL REPORT OF UN LIAISON FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL FIRST CONTACT
On Sept 26, I reported on a breaking story that at an upcoming Royal Society conference, the head of the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), Dr Mazlan Othman, was to reveal how the UN was preparing to appoint her to be the First Contact liaison with extraterrestrial life. The story was first reported by Jonathan Leake, the Science Editor for The Sunday Times, and was picked up my multiple international mainstream media sources including the Sunday Telegraph andThe Australian.

A Different Perspective
7-28-09
Well, I see that good old Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy has struck again. I'm not sure why, if he is so convinced there is nothing to UFO reports, he feels the compulsion to return to the subject so often, but he does. And, surprising me if no one else, he makes grandiose claims that are not supported by evidence. Instead we are treated to his uninformed opinion and a suggestion that he "...got some amusement from it [arguing with we uninformed UFO nuts], I'll admit, since trying to reason with some people is clearly a losing game."
Oh, Phil, I understand what you mean. I keep putting out facts and then have to listen (well read actually) your opinions. I quote the sources and you quote your own mind. Clearly this is a losing game... but it is somewhat amusing.
And then he retreats into his favorite, though unsupported argument that "Astronomers, both amateur and professional, are constantly viewing the sky. There are tens of thousands of amateurs out there out observing all the time: a large sample population, and far larger in observing man-hours than the regular population. If UFOs are so common, then why do we not see an unusually large number of reports from astronomers?"
Good question Phil... of course, I might ask who all these astronomers viewing the sky are since it seems that many of them are using instrumentation to view very narrow fields rather than standing around outside with a pair of binoculars, but I digress.
Or, I suppose, I could point out that pilots, especially those on long, overnight flights, get good views of the night sky and they do report UFOs frequently. Some have noted that their corporate leaders frown on UFO reports and encourage the pilots not to make them, but again, I digress.
I will point out, again, that there is a negative impact on the careers of astronomers would report UFOs. Once again, I'll point to the study conducted for the Air Force by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, in which he suggested that if any astronomer reported a flying saucer, meaning an alien spacecraft (and as opposed to a UFO) it would be headlined the next day and the following day the man's, or woman's, career would end.
Hynek, in fact, was sometimes ridiculed by his colleagues in the field. I took an astronomy course while at the University of Iowa and we were treated to an appearance, guess lecture you might say, from James A. van Allen... yes, the radiation belt guy. Someone asked about Hynek and the answer was, "Allen always wanted to discover a new constellation..."
Which was strange because I had a couple of serious conversations with van Allen about UFOs. He seemed interested in the topic but was disturbed by the lack of critical standards. Too much passion in a field that could stand a little dispassionate research.
Hynek's study, to get back on topic, showed that astronomers actually reported UFOs at a slightly higher rate than the general population. So, Phil's comment about astronomers and sky observations is right. They should see UFOs at a higher rate and according to the available statistics, do.
I could, once again, cite some of those who have reported, not UFOs, but flying saucers. Clyde Tombaugh comes immediately to mind with his sighting near Las Cruces, New Mexico, of something with square, glowing windows. Donald Menzel, the rabid anti-UFO guy, a man who never met an explanation other than extraterrestrial that he didn't like, explained Tombaugh's sighting as lights from houses reflected in the light haze over the city...
Except Menzel wasn't there and Tombaugh was. Tombaugh was a qualified observer who said there was no light haze over the city so it didn't matter what Menzel thought. Menzel's explanation didn't work but Menzel didn't care because he had explained the sighting.
Which isn't to say that Tombaugh saw a craft built on another planet, but that he saw something sufficiently strange that he couldn't identify it as Venus or a weather balloon. This would be a real UFO, reported by an astronomer, but not while he was working out at the observatory, but while he was sitting in his backyard looking at the night sky.
Plait also gets worked up because of the sheer number of UFO reports. Plait wrote, "My assertion is that this is because the vast majority of UFO reports from people are misidentified objects like Venus, the Moon, satellites, balloons, and so on. These are things every amateur astronomer has seen countless times, and knows are not alien spaceships bent on probing the backsides of rural citizens. While this does not mean every single observed object is something more mundane, it does mean that the huge numbers quoted by UFOlogists are most certainly wrong."
Well, again, this isn't quite right. True, there are a large number of UFO reports but it is also true that the vast majority are of mundane things. Everyone who studies UFO reports will tell you that ninety to ninety-five or six percent are of mundane objects. We get it and we identify them.
I have reported here, and have mentioned in various lectures and speeches, that I investigated a case with a domed disk and alien creatures made by two witnesses. I solved the case because I went out and looked. For those interested in the details, see the Mount Vernon, Iowa sighting on the April 2007 blog.
And, yes, I have listened to people describe Venus, including those who suggest they have seen searchlights playing down from it. And people who saw very bright meteors. And listened to some strange stories but with no other witnesses, think of them as insufficient data though I suspect I might have an answer.
So, yes, there are thousands of UFO sightings and only a few of them are of interest to us here. And while Plait trots out that old cliche about rural citizens, those of us who have studied the phenomenon (meaning the UFOs as opposed to all the other things often lumped in) we know that the statistics show that the higher the level of education and the longer the sighting, the less likely it is to be identified.
And I have to wonder about the perception that everyone who lives in a rural environment is some kind of a rube unable to tell a weather balloon from Venus from a structured craft that out performs those we build. Does living in a city confer some sort of additional intelligence on an observer, or is this just another example of a cultural bias? Are we who live in Iowa, or Nebraska or Wyoming, or West Virginia somehow less intelligent than those who live in Washington, D.C. or Los Angeles?
I guess my question would be when is Plait going to take a look at the actual data rather than live by his personal bias? That is something most of these nay-sayers never do... oh, they'll talk about no physical evidence, they'll claim what we do have is anecdotal, but they won't sit down to look at it.
If they do, and still feel there is nothing to UFOs, then hey, they'll be in a better position to argue the case. But maybe they'll understand that the evidence they desire is right there. All they have to do is look.

In our time, September 11, 2011 I assemble up to the Houston, British Columbia A&W, drive-thru and to be found an appoint. One of the stick asked if my ears had been troublesome the night in advance as a group of fill were dialogue about a UFO sighting on Babine Pond and that "pictures" had been smitten by go to regularly take over of the UFO live through.
I develop not seen any of the photos, and I develop not josh to a person who witnessed this sighting, but I sure would while to share to any and all of the fill who watched this unconventional live through. I am director than cheerful to strength out and play against via take over and soft spot to rostrum the photos. This of course in hopes of brutal to form out what this may develop been, if impending.

Plain JESSE MARCEL was the head intelligence official at Roswell A.F.B. all the rage the supposed crash of an extraterrestrial craft in 1947. Due to his situate, Marcel was on the ball on a wide-range of substantial sent up in the air.Plain Marcel was the first crew to survey the driftwood at the site publicized to him by Mac Brazel. Marcel might not establish the driftwood.According to Marcel the driftwood appeared to be nearby balsa tree-plant, tin foil, and parchment. This title of the smash is used to this day by debunkers who pressure that what crashed in Roswell was a Partition Entrepreneur weather fill. Notwithstanding, earlier consideration to Marcel's story indicates that Marcel was striving to display materials that he had never seen before and was compulsory to gap them to materials he did stick engage in together with. For exemplar, "...looked something nearby balsa tree-plant, and were about the enormously clout...and would not do too much". It would be counterfeit to carry out that Marcel was implying the substantial was balsa tree-plant. The modest interpretation is that the substantial was even to balsa tree-plant but was biologically not balsa tree-plant. Loll in concentration that this was a pre-plastic age.In bonus, Marcel described smash that had odd hieroglyphic-like dedication as well as substantial that displayed odd properties, such as not being able to be burned or spoiled.According to Plain Marcel, the smash arm at the site was "3/4 of a mile desire and discrete hundred feet high". Colonel Blanchard recurrent Marcel to fly one of the smash to Ft. Wear and tear, TX, so that Customary Roger Ramey might watch the substantial before Marcel was to fly it to Wright Attachment (Wright-Patterson) for chaos manage. It was at Ft.
