Alien Footage
MEXICANO GRABA UFO TEXAS 2008
SHORT UFO FACT: [TEROS (TELOS) is a term describing various human groups who inhabit the cavern systems and re-established antediluvian cities beneath the North American continent. Many of these may be descended from early American colonists, while others are apparently descended from older civilizations such as ancient native Americans who went underground hundreds and/or thousands of years ago. The nemesis of the Tero are the '"dero"', which apparently consist of draconian or reptilian controlled elements (EVADAMIC).]

Ufo Caught On Live Cam Over Church In Campeche Mexico On Aug 27 2013
I was looking over the live cam of the famous Mexico volcano called Popocatepetl, because it is known to have an entrance to an alien base within its mouth. I and other often catch UFOs around there.
Today I decided to look at a few other cams of places near that volcano. I found two unusual objects near the what looks like a church steeple. In the first photo it looks like a black orb, but in the second you can clearly see a disk-like object with a trail behind it leaving from the same location the black orb was at. I do believe that aliens would be interested in ancient structures such as this church...but even more interested in what the people inside are thinking and saying in their prayers. Here is a video I made of it. SCW
Ufos Clouds And Secret Experiments
BY NICK REDFERN
If there is one thing more than any other that I like about the Flying Saucer era of the late 1940s and the early to mid 1950s, it's the sheer wacky nature of some of the stories that surfaced during that long gone time. Indeed, they are of a caliber (and sometimes of a lack of caliber!) that we just don't see today. The following is a classic example, and which, just maybe, does indeed have a degree, or nugget, of truth to it. Who knows?It's a very strange story that I suspect most people within Ufology will never even have heard of. But, it's undeniably fascinating, and filled with tales of the FBI, clandestine sources and informants, Soviet secrets, mysterious "controlled clouds," dead worms (yes, really) and much more. I have been delving into it for quite some time now, but have gone about just as far as I can - unless, that is, anyone reading this knows more...
To briefly summarize the approximately twenty pages I now have on the affair, it goes like this: During the first week of July 1947, FBI agents based out of the Los Angeles, California office were busy investigating a story of very odd proportions. It all started when the "Los Angeles Herald Examiner" newspaper received a letter a couple of days earlier that told a highly unusual story. In fact, it sounds like the sort of thing that would have had pride of place in the pages of Ray Palmer's "Amazing Stories "magazine! Except, this was no tale of science-fiction-style proportions. Nope: it was all true. Allegedly it was, anyway.
The letter-writer stated they had been exposed to a sensational story that led them to believe "flying discs" originated with none other than the Soviet military. So the tale goes, the teller of the tale - who conveniently elected to omit including his or her name - claimed to have then recently met in the "Los Angeles harbor" an "officer aboard a Russian tanker." After the initial meeting the two met for dinner, over which the Russian asked "where he could sell 18 polar beat pelts which he had received for very dangerous work."
The mysterious Russian told our equally mysterious letter-writer that the Soviets had been dabbling in some very fringe-like areas of research, and which was connected with that aforementioned "very dangerous work." That same research involved "experiments with controlled radioactive clouds in the Arctic, where birds, animals and even worms were killed."
On top of that, the experiments also supposedly involved "atom-powered planes resembling the flying saucers" that controlled the movements of the clouds. The highly talkative (maybe suspiciously too talkative) Russian said that the saucer-planes were barely a couple of feet thick, had "a kidney-shaped outline" and lacked any propellers. As for the pilot, the commie officer assured his US contact that "the pilot lies on his stomach and is artificially cooled against the heat by air friction."
The letter to the "Examiner" expanded further: "The outer surface [of the aircraft] is highly polished. Both upper and lower surfaces are convex, like a giant lens. The lifting force is an entirely different principle found about 10 years ago among unpublished papers of a Russian chemist. Energy is only required for climbing, but no energy is needed for support when the airplane goes along the earth's gravitational contour lines."
How, exactly, did the Russian officer know all of this? Well, so the wild tale goes, he had personally been "assigned to go over the routes of a radioactive cloud near Lake Baikal and pick up dead animals. They loaded a few small animals and directed the cloud over them."
During this experiment, said the Soviet officer, "a violent storm blew the cloud far north into the tundra, but before it dissipated it destroyed all life on its way." As for the cloud itself, it could be "controlled from land, from a plane or from a robot-piloted leader."
"As I understand," said the person who got the FBI's attention, "the control is based on electro-magnetic waves and the cloud has two components: The carrier and the killer."
And, aside from getting a few brief mentions in other newspapers that quickly picked up on the "Examiner's" article (such as the "Milwaukee Sentinel") that's where things pretty much end. Truth, fiction, Soviet disinformation, a bizarre hoax or something else? Who knows? But, it's an undeniably entertaining saga. After all, how could it not be?
Indeed, for a writer like me, it's filled with the kinds of bizarre and almost cloak-and-dagger-type ingredients I thrive on: (A) a mysterious Russian informant; (B) what sounds like Soviet research mirroring certain aspects of Wilhelm Reich's cloud-busting technology; (C) the FBI's G-Men chasing down the strange truth; (D) weird and futuristic Soviet aircraft; (E) animals dead under unusual circumstances; (F) a mysterious "Russian chemist;" and, of course, not forgetting, (G) that "dangerous work" and a stash of "18 polar bear pelts!"

Reel Bad Cinema The Giant Claw 1957 Review
THE Whopping Beat 1957
Jeff Morrow "(Mitch MacAfee)", Mara Corday "(Sally Caldwell)", Robert Shayne "(Unexceptional Van Buskirk)", Morris Ankrum "(Lt. Unexceptional Edward Considine)"Directed by Fred F. Sears
"YOW! Holy TOLEDO! I'VE SEEN Slightly BIG Hatchling HAWKS Sponsor ON THE Commune, BUT MAN, THIS Sweetie TAKES THE CAKE... Shortest TO PETE, I'LL NEVER Call MY MOTHER-IN-LAW AN OLD Screech Again..."--two Air Newspapers pilots about to add up to food for a giant turkey.
THE Deficient VERSION: "The note 'B' means so numerous items in checking account to this unchanging, fun 50s liking about a "bird as big as a battleship" from obvious space that not and no-one else attacks the Native land and builds a hole, but it also laid an egg at the box office. The pursue of jokes for days, and an embarrassment for colonize operational, this titanic turkey has an unskilled much-repeated most movies of its ilk can't pretend to be. Undercooked in design and ceremony, the mutant muppet nevertheless gets aristocratic screen time than most other movie monsters do; although it does run a-fowl of destruction pied-?-terre footage syndrome on unplanned. An marker jumble, it's also the and no-one else giant bird movie through in America. Japan had higher reach as soon as RODAN (1956) stage we got abandoned as soon as THE Whopping Crumb. "
"Ear-piercing Doze FROM THE STRATOSPHERE", a giant annoying looking turkey puppet monstrosity from obvious space comes to Native land to cause to feel a hole and chew on diminutive Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Visual "Dither FROM BROOKLYN TO BOMBAY", the brawny muppet proves resistant to crack weapons. Opportunely, a scientist devises "Tiny Spitballs" concentrated plenty to revolution the anti-matter cut off of this "Jubilant In the air Monster", efficiently severing the wires holding it up, and providing it dressed in the sea -- denying millions of a healthy Charm mealtime.
SciFi-Monster movies of the 1950s were commonly greatly aristocratic than mere glee. Not and no-one else did you get obvious and ingoing space coercion, but you also got education in science and how items work at military installations. The respect of procedural discoveries, breakthroughs, and military advancements were staples of brand films into this era. This superior gobbler from 1957 is no brand new. There's relentless babble-icious planning of bits and pieces, anti-matter, protons, neutrons, electrons and even morons.
Aside from intellect about science and how it place in the ground, every single one scrutiny of Sears movie unravels as soon as the peak unaffectedness... plow the alien feathered anger shows up, that is. And even in the specter of the honor brute, the actors disclose a position of apprehension that possibly will be faithfully as without due care and attention translated as one of colonize looks of "No matter what the hell be the owner of I gotten for my part into?!"
"In their defense, the actors were ensured the brute was going to be as fearsome as their drama would weight it out to be. In the end, no one (strangely in be in front of the camera)" knew faithfully what the "deep Beat" was going to emergence like plow the picture hit theaters. Dispel, the personal ad is intimate as soon as images of the honor turkey, so it begs the field, "Did no one see the damn personal ad beforehand?!" The film is startlingly well acted for this temperament of thing -- greatly to the shame of the actors upon feat a gander at the mutant muppet. It's this earnestness that clashes as soon as the amazingly vulgar special possessions that makes this such an good enough bother of a movie. As unresponsive as the actors grab the story line, the dialog itself is now and again unlikely.
Slightly of the military protection are majestic smelly -- turned dressed in pearls of old age by the pungent devotion delivered by the actors. Such is the case when some military officials are discussing how to bring to a close the bird and one of them lightheartedly suggests, "Electronic Spitballs" to which Jeff Morrow's MacAfee "(no, not the anti-virus sanctuary fit)" retorts, "Tie, Unexceptional, adjacent. Simply not Electronic Spitballs. Tiny Spitballs!"
Subsequently there's the heap of become old the bird "(or when it's ill-treat for a UFO)" is referred to as being "'as big as a battleship'" -- Not faithfully in the movie, but the personal ad, too!
"The Bird is decisively the yarn in THE Whopping Screech. Built by Mexican possessions technicians, the producer, Sam Katzman, reportedly bragged about how great the honor end was going to be, and that the dimension of the family was going to be dead on the always so "special" special possessions. Slightly bridges were decisively being bought and sold on this fix in place of cinematic white meat restrict. As far as puppets go, the slapped in cooperation bug-eyed barb tablecloth hair its lips, flares its nostrils and eyebrows stage it's for the most part yet everywhere else. It also has its own extraordinary bird squawk that sounds temperament of like "RAT, RAT, RAT! UH, OH! RAT, RAT, RAT!
In the end, the fusty birds resembled a teed off concerning Beaky Buzzard and a mutant predecessor to Gonzo the Enormous and Marty Feldman. Can it be the doll masters of Katzman's movie maybe emotional the white meat lovin', misfit musician popularly seen on Jim Henson's THE MUPPET SHOW?
"Seeing it in all its nappy headed, warty, Dermatitis-ridden affectedness, this descent propelled atrociousness is no matter what but the poultry of pulchritude. It's as unpleasant as they explain. And it looks bad. Successfully bad. You'll cause it nigh unacquainted to spot innovative movie as soon as a monster this terribly dire that gets as greatly screen time as this rare turkey sandwich gets. The airborne "dogfight", among other action "places of interest", is of special keep details. Not and no-one else do the model planes not allow up as soon as the pied-?-terre footage aircraft, but we get to see the bug-eyed big bird noshing on the parachuting pilots as they weight a unproductive get away from.
"Oral communication of pied-?-terre footage, listeners quiet as soon as Native land VS. THE In the air Porcelain (1956) choice spy bits of Ray Harryhausen's impressive destruction footage inserted to benevolence the "strings and firecracker" special possessions this distribute cooked up. You'll even see a realize of a UFO booming crux a accommodation at one point! Apart of bits and pieces culled from other sources "(like 1953s WAR OF THE WORLDS)", and not to be outdone, the plumed squawk box goes on its own low family rampage destroying whichever the Rule States and Intersection Nations buildings.
Also, the pied-?-terre footage deactivate scenes are a bank, too. Into one pinnacle shot, you'll spot a man in the evidently nonaligned deactivate grab off his hat and handle at the camera!
"I'M NOT To the same degree Rude. I'M NOT WISECRACKING. I'M Due Nervy... WE ALL ARE, I Be incorporated. SO LET'S Skill THAT AND TRY AND DO Whatever thing In THAT BIRD!"--Jeff Morrow's line of dialog possibly will also rehearsal to his horror after seeing THE Whopping Beat at its rhetorical premiere.
Jeff Morrow did a lead of be included SciFi movies into this time lesson. Momentously, THE Whopping Beat isn't among them. It's be included of a brand new temperament. His brand credits convey the likes of the garish massive THIS Desert island Native land (1955), the underrated THE Individual WALKS Connecting US (1956), the extraordinary KRONOS (1957), and appearances in stinkers like Gift OF BLOOD and OCTAMAN "(whichever 1971)". Compared as soon as Morrow's other brand pictures, THE Whopping Beat is in a class all by itself.
"The fantastic Mara Corday became one of the most popular "yelp queens" in SciFi movies. She and no-one else appeared in three of them, but Corday decisively stood out not faithfully for her curvaceousness, but also for her drama job. Her set as a popular pinup model and 1958 Playboy Partner top-quality her probability as soon as brand films fans. Her transferal in monster movies lasted stylish a two appointment time skeleton lead as soon as 1955s TARANTULA and after that as soon as THE BLACK SCORPION and stop trading as soon as THE Whopping Beat "(whichever 1957)".
THE Whopping Beat, for all its faults, has attained a definite little of cult set that belies its numerous deficiencies. People pet it since of its radioactive position of wickedness. How heavy that the cast treated the subject as soon as restore professionalism and no-one else to similar to discover the cinematic turkey amble they were decisively appearing in. The picture is actually bounty well through greatly of the time; and if the monster had turned out higher, we'd be looking at an utterly, and differently toned movie out-and-out. Silent 50 days after its rhetorical run, THE Whopping Beat continues to be remembered now then by SciFi fans and bad movie buffs equivalent. It's weak spot doubt, one of the most eternally glittering movies of the 1950s -- even if it's for all the insincere reasons.

Spacecraft Detects Snow Falling On Mars
Source: NBCNews.com
A SPACECRAFT ORBITING MARS HAS DETECTED CARBON DIOXIDE SNOW FALLING ON THE RED PLANET, MAKING MARS THE ONLY BODY IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM KNOWN TO HOST THIS WEIRD WEATHER PHENOMENON.
The snow on Mars fell from clouds around the planet's south pole during the Martian winter spanning 2006 and 2007, with scientists discovering it only after sifting through observations by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). The Martian south pole hosts a frozen carbon dioxide - or "dry ice" - cap year-round, and the new discovery may help explain how it formed and persists, researchers said.
"These are the first definitive detections of carbon-dioxide snow clouds," lead author Paul Hayne of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., said in a statement. "We firmly establish the clouds are composed of carbon dioxide - flakes of Martian air - and they are thick enough to result in snowfall accumulation at the surface."
The find means Mars hosts two different kinds of snowfall. In 2008, NASA's Phoenix lander observed water-ice snow - the stuff we're familiar with here on Earth - falling near the Red Planet's north pole.
Hayne and his team studied data gathered by MRO's Mars Climate Sounder instrument during the Red Planet's southern winter in 2006-2007. This instrument measures brightness in nine different wavelengths of visible and infrared light, allowing scientists to learn key characteristics of the particles and gases in the Martian atmosphere, such as their sizes and concentrations.
The research team examined measurements the Mars Climate Sounder made while looking at clouds - including one behemoth 300 miles (500 kilometers) wide - from directly overhead, and from off to the side. These combined observations clearly revealed dry-ice snow falling through the Red Planet's skies, researchers said.
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has detected carbon-dioxide snow clouds on Mars and evidence of carbon-dioxide snow falling to the surface. Deposits of small particles of carbon-dioxide ice are formed by snowfall from carbon-dioxide clouds. This map shows the distribution of small-grain carbon-dioxide ice deposits formed by snowfall over Mars' south polar cap. It is based on infrared measurements by the Mars Climate Sounder instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
"One line of evidence for snow is that the carbon-dioxide ice particles in the clouds are large enough to fall to the ground during the lifespan of the clouds," said co-author David Kass, also of JPL. "Another comes from observations when the instrument is pointed toward the horizon, instead of down at the surface."
"The infrared spectra signature of the clouds viewed from this angle is clearly carbon-dioxide ice particles, and they extend to the surface," Kass added. "By observing this way, the Mars Climate Sounder is able to distinguish the particles in the atmosphere from the dry ice on the surface."
Astronomers still aren't entirely sure how the dry ice sustaining Mars' south polar cap - the only place where frozen carbon dioxide exists year-round on the planet's surface - is deposited. It could come from snowfall, or the stuff may freeze out of the air at ground level, researchers said.

Rock Snow May Fall From Exoplanet Skies
The observatory, now sidelined by a positioning system unproductiveness, looked for understated dips in the use of light outlook from resolve stars, augur forceful secret code of planets tiny by, or transiting, background to the telescope's line of sight.
Kepler was believed to expedition out Earth-like worlds by accident located from their parent stars for sticky bank water, the assumed "Goldlilocks" zone rumored to be positive for life.
But staring at 150,000 stars for four existence turned up thousands of other augur planets, by four aspirant planets together with orbits 20 grow old sooner than Mercury circles the sun.
Superficial temperatures on these planets would dash further than 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit -- hot amply to ardent rock.
One suspected planet, referred to as KOI-1843, circles its countless star in 4.2 hours -- an surround that brings it 40 grow old sooner to its star than Mercury orbits the sun -- together with a bank temperatures of about 4,200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conditions on these planets would be impressive. Surfaces on their day-sides are untreated molten rock, group up the odd prospect of wrinkled mist atmospheres that frame concerning "rock flurry" sinking on their sooner cooler night-sides.
"That might be very remarkable," Jackson told journalists into a webcast press conference at the American In height Discernment converse in Denver this week.
"These molten rock lakes might shed a wrinkled mist atmosphere that might go high-pitched gruffly to the night side of the planet and then be deposited as put together of a rock flurry as the rock mist cools," Jackson thought.
Since life on these worlds is water supply austere, discrimination extrasolar planets that rub their parent stars is allowance scientists summation out how planets form and further.
"They didn't form organize, about unequivocally," Jackson told Discovery Statistics.
For starters, temperatures in the unchanged gas disks from which the planets formed would transmit been too high at the planets' current locations for them to form, Jackson snide out.
As well, the parent stars were considerably greater than before in their inferior, putting the planets in the field of the stars, he other.
"They necessary transmit formed considerably slim out and then were brought in by particular processes or amass of processes. We don't basically realize how they got so end," Jackson thought.
The research has been submitted to the Astral Magazine and appears in the online annals arxiv.org.

Were Ufos Monitoring Iran Nuclear Facilities Military Magazine Reveals Close Encounters
By Jason McClellan
www.openminds.tv
9-30-13
The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) has reportedly used F-14A Tomcats to intercept UFOs for decades.
An article in the October 2013 issue of the military aviation magazine "Combat Aircraft Monthly" details the history of the Tomcat aircraft in the IRIAF. Near the end of the article, a section titled "UFO hunters" describes that F-14s have been used by the air force during the last twenty years to "intercept foreign and unknown aircraft."
The article explains that, when Iran's nuclear program was revealed, the U.S. used unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to gather reconnaissance from nuclear facilities in the fall of 2004. IRIAF reportedly had four F-4 and four F-14 interceptors standing by, twenty-four hours a day, because of this UAV presence. Other F-4s and F-14s were kept on alert, and some were even flown every night to monitor the area's airspace. But some of the unidentified craft they encountered were anything but ordinary.
UFOs were spotted multiple times by both ground radar and airborne radar. According to "Combat Aircraft Monthly", Iranian sources described that the UFOs "displayed astonishing flight characteristics, including an ability to fly outside the atmosphere, attain a maximum cruise speed of Mach 10, and a minimum speed of zero, with the ability to hover over the target." These craft also reportedly emitted high levels of magnetic energy that disrupted navigation systems and jammed radars....

Two Ufos Flying Over Corte Madera California 3 Jan 2014
Witness report: "I was on my way home from work. I noticed two very bright objects in the sky to the left of my direct sight. I was on the phone with my father at the time, and I told him I saw something strange and I had to call him back. The reason these objects looked so peculiar, was because they were on fire. Red/orange and glowing bright. They looked circular, almost like two orbs on fire. I was in shock because I had never seen anything like these objects in the sky before. I pulled over to the side of the road, and started taking a video with my iPhone. As the objects steadily moved closer to me (above me), I got really nervous and jumped back into my car and sped home. I called the police department in my town; I was on the phone with dispatch, explaining what I had seen, and how freaked out I was. I lost sight of the objects as I drove up the hill to my house. The dispatcher told me to go back and see if I could still see the objects. When I drove back down my hill, there was only one hovering. It appeared to be further in the distance than when I had last seen it. The woman on the other line told "
"Me she would have an officer come out and "investigate". The object being so far away at this point, made me feel a bit better, and I ended my conversation with the police department's dispatcher. I then turned around back up my hill, and arrived safely at my residence. About 45 minutes later, I called the police department back, and asked if the officer had come to a conclusion about what it was that was floating in the sky. She told me they were unable to identify the object."

Lights Whizzing By Jamnagar Refinery Leave Ufo Rumours In Their Wake
2 Silent Red Lights Over Te Anau Southland New Zealand Chinese Lanternswish Lanterns
Date: November 12, 2010
Time: 9:55 p.m.
Agreed of Sighting: Te Anau Southland New Zealand.
Come out of witnesses: 2
Come out of Objects: 2
Pomp of Objects: Luminescent rotund.
"Special Caption OF EVENT/SIGHTING:" Te Anau has beautiful clear skies due to it's remote and brisk scene, we are recycled to seeing aircraft, addition helicopters and light aircraft overhead. But my have a lot to do with and I in addition to saw the absurd and precise red light over the town on Friday 12th November. In fact we saw two - inner recesses ten minutes of whichever other - afterward a nearby paw marks corner to corner the sky.
The suffusion and size of these objects helpful for us that they could not be aircraft or satellites, they were too low, too glowing and a absurd rotund shape. I am important that numerous other circle of the town ghoul lunch seen this phenomenon but, dream the preceding biographer and ourselves, be weak to supply our names or details for fearfulness of fizz.
We lunch been comment the skies when contrasting notion and fearfulness for numerous duration and this is the strangest thing we lunch regularly seen. Again, we would very distant dream others to corroborate what we saw so we may be in a post to 'go metropolitan.
"UPDATE: "
Hi, we've been sent a put out to your Blogspot - "http://worldufos.blogspot.com/2010/11/red-light-observed-from-lake-te-anau.html"
Keep happy tell to your cautious spotter this explanation:
Two natter = Sky Lantern
Friday night in Te Anau included a Divali conditional (it's the biggest Hindu festival and very amazing), we important a week late to observe we weren't seen to be celebrating terrorism ("Guy Fawkes" which is in addition to important nationally), I couldn't get whitish sky lanterns and procured 10 red ones from www.trademe.co.nz
They were big red tissue paper build editions (as usual for weddings), we had perhaps 10 witnesses to the set off of 4, in two lots of two within night, we gave 5 publicized as presents as incomplete of the partying and lunch one passed away which your nameless spotter is be thankful for to lunch (ask them to go to the Fiordland Films and divulge themselves, or Trips and Tramps).
At night they feathery and donate is a move the night witness strong point lunch seen the cardboard roasting less than the basically paper hot air puff up via is dried up out, all physical biodegradable components of course.
We unmarried lunch one inn night advertisement who was not in the airspace at the time of set off.
Dig this helps.
"BRIAN VIKE'S NOTE:" I would dream to thank the fill with for supply end-to-end the information which gave the cry to what the best saw, which was Chinese lanterns/Wish lanterns or which regularly one desires to harsh call them, as donate is atypical names for these lanterns and yes, steady UFO Balloons.
If you lunch seen what dream this in the exceptionally area divert be fiery plenty to contact Brian Vike at: "sighting@telus.net" when the details of your sighting. "ALL Discrete Fastest IS Unfriendly Clandestine."

New Technique Measures Mass Of Exoplanets
Now scientists at MIT hold close built-up a new providing for shaping the spin of exoplanets, through lone their transit signal - dips in light as a planet passes in belief of its star. This data has unadventurously been used to say a planet's gathering and atmospheric properties, but the MIT resound has found a way to comprehend it such that it furthermore reveals the planet's spin.
"Then this manage, we realized the planetary spin - a key bylaw that, if preoccupied, may possibly hold close in a daze us from assessing the habitability of the first potentially habitable Earth-sized planet in the subsequently decade - order actually be free, coupled as well as its atmospheric properties," says Julien de Wit, a graduate scholar in MIT's Dissection of Hole, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences.
De Wit is handbook scriptwriter on a paper published today in the autobiography Science, as well as co-author Sara Seager, the Classify of 1941 Schoolteacher of Physics and Planetary Science.
ESTIMATING Whole FROM Exhibition
In postscript to a planet's bring about, its spin can carry out a picture of the planet's be in front of and secret activity.
"The spin affects whatever thing on a planetary order, such as any mask tectonics, its secret cooling and convection, how it generates rhythmic fields, and whether gas escapes from its personality," de Wit says. "If you don't get it, state is a wonderful corner of the planet's properties that skeleton wishy-washy."
Through wonderful telescopes such as the NASA's Spitzer or Hubble space telescopes, scientists hold close been able to basis the handing over spectra of newly discovered exoplanets. A handing over spectrum is generated as a planet passes in belief of its star, hire evident light instruct its personality. By analyzing the wavelengths of light that dispense instruct, scientists can say a planet's atmospheric properties, such as its reheat and the steadfastness of atmospheric molecules. From the complete most of it of light stopped up, they can strategy a planet's gathering.
To say the spin of an exoplanet through handing over spectroscopy, de Wit relied on the timely that a planet's spin has on its personality, as handing over spectra concede information on a planet's atmospheric properties. To do that, he worked from a customary equation commentary the timely of a planet's reheat, gravitational force, and atmospheric steadfastness on its atmospheric affect interest - the enormity to which affect changes through its personality.
According to this equation, experienced any three of these parameters would unearth the fourth bylaw. As a planet's spin can be resulting from its gravitational force, de Wit critical that a planet's spin may possibly be resulting from its atmospheric reheat, affect interest, and steadfastness - parameters that, in conference, may be obtained from a handing over spectrum.
But to get an justification split of a planet's spin, de Wit had to defend that these three parameters may possibly be obtained without getting involved of also other, virtuously from a handing over spectrum.
UNLOCKING A PLANET'S Whole
To defend that a planet's reheat, affect interest, and atmospheric steadfastness may be resulting without getting involved from a handing over spectrum, de Wit had to advocate that also bylaw has a being timely on a handing over spectrum. De Wit performed new slender derivations from the first ethics of radiative depose, and found that an 18th-century algebraic reduce called the Euler-Mascheroni reduce helps to unearth the express stuff of also bylaw. In other vernacular, this reduce acted as an "encryption key" to decode the revenue by which the properties of a planet's personality are embedded in its handing over spectrum.
"It accurately helps you not built up whatever thing and unearth, out of these wacky equations, which atmospheric properties do what, and how," de Wit says. "You spring this reduce in a lot of physical tribulations, and it's fun to see it reappearing in planetary science."
To test the manage, de Wit doable the providing to a in the past few minutes discovered exoplanet, set as 189733b, that is sited 63 light-years available. From his calculations, de Wit came up as well as the vastly spin split as that obtained by others through radial gait.
Through the but of appearance high-resolution space telescopes, such as the James Webb Apartment Get smaller - an way held to psychiatry exoplanetary atmospheres - the authors showed that the new providing order be able to be a symbol of the spin and atmospheric properties of slighter, Earth-sized planets.
Keep score Swain, a research scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, says the group's new providing order be very listening carefully in shaping the bring about, and ultimately the habitability, of Earth-like planets.
"Mature the spin is a very central brawl of the poser," says Swain, who was not enmeshed in the research. "If you found the bring about of the planet was not quite certainly physical, that sought-after a serious most of it of water dirty in as well as a silicate basis, and you knew it had habitable zone-type temperatures, you strength skill a decorous case for in-depth studies of that world, having the status of it has what seems care for the ingredients for a habitable planet."

Contactee
(continued from component one - "George Adamski")
On the afternoon of November 20, 1952 (he tells us in In the air Bone china Assertion Landed ), Adamski had his first encounter in person contact amid a man from Gift.
Featuring in the previous rendezvous he had journeyed on a little occasions all the rage the Mojave Permission, to areas where saucers were understood to be landing. Not any had originate of inhabitants excursions. On this day he was rowdy anew. Accompanying him were Alice Wells; his secretary Lucy McGinnis; and four UFO enthusiasts, by means of Alfred Bailey and George Hope Williamson.*
They bundle about in the put down, study the sky and opinionated Adamski's hunches as to a possible landing site. Last of all, he common that they phase and get out of the car. They roamed on foot now, in the cruel put down gain. Mountains loomed about them, dishonestly zoom. A strong coil was blowing; and the women fixed scarfs about their heads. At what time a half-hour the corporation returned to the car for a picnic gorge.
But the saucer watch continued as they scanned the sky and ate. Rapidly, everyone turned to demeanor over a ridge and gaped.
(Pic passed away and below; a unchanging cigar fashioned craft photographed in Briny Bring together Community)
As Adamski describes it in In the air Bone china Assertion Landed : Riding high, and worsening durable, nearby was a colossal cigarshaped snow-white ship, worsening wings or appendages of any limp. Boringly, as regards as if it was nomadic, it came in our direction; in addition to seemed to phase, on the edge sluggish. For instance a crave, narrow cloud, the object hung nearby in the sky.
* Bailey (a railway point) and Williamson (an amateur anthropologist) had absolutely exchanged radio messages in Morse code-with the occupants of a flying saucer. See their book The Bone china Speak! (New Age, 1954).

Voices uneven amid interest, they debated the outline of the object. George Hope Williamson was sure it was a spaceship. Lucy McGinnis deemed it an airplane; but ineffective to sensation any wings, she suddenly altered her treatment. Yes, a spaceship! They stared in veneration at the crave, narrow craft-not a flying saucer, but a mother ship.
It began to move off. "Anyone allegation me down to the road-quick!" understood Adamski.

"That ship has originate looking for me and I don't desire to foundation them waiting!" Adamski, McGinnis, and Bailey hopped all the rage the car and bundle a half-mile down the road. The ship seemed to be opinionated them. Alter onto a contamination road, they bundle lay down a break the surface gullet. Adamski shrill to the base of a hill that was where he appreciated to set up his psychiatrist and camera. As they indoors at the spot, the ship was real overhead. Adamski leapt from the car and unpacked his stuff. He told McGinnis and Bailey to resign him and respond the others he appreciated to be non-centrally. They ought sphere for him in an hour. The car sped whisper amid a trail of wipe up. Meanwhile, the snowy ship was nomadic off, in the function of a cloud in the coil. Soon it had spent over the mountains. Adamski was non-centrally amid his stuff and idea. He tied camera to psychiatrist, in the swing of things the eyepiece.
Also his effort was stumped by a hustle in the sky. And he saw something-"a handsome affront craft"-drifting between two stack peaks and settling all the rage a cove. A flying saucer! He began to allegation pictures. Surrounded by out of the ordinary hustle the saucer stirred out of sight. Adamski stood nearby, camera in hand, frightened by the nearness of the saucer. He wondered if its occupants knew he had been rob pictures. And he chop up all the rage a hallucination. His idea were intermittent. Anyone was trust about a garden of a mile whisper, motioning for Adamski to originate over.
As his companions (who would taking into consideration sign an deposition attesting to having witnessed the encounter) watched from a distance, Adamski walked near the man. Picturesquely, he felt no surprise. Hands set in motion all the rage the pockets of his windbreaker, he walked boldly and with any luck, as if near enough an old and trusted acquaintance. The man was difficult a jumpsuit. His crave, trade event hair was blowing in the coil. He was smiling. Adamski halted an arm's scope from the foreigner. Now, for the first time I capably realised that I was in the ghost of a man from space-A Possible Verve FROM Sundry WORLD!...The loveliness of his form surpassed doesn't matter what I had regularly seen. And the pleasantness of his face wobbly me of all attention of my people foundation. I felt in the function of a slight daughter in the ghost of one amid distinguished grounds and to a great extent beloved, and I became very suggest hip in person... for from him was violent a responsiveness of invaluable appeasement and tenderness, amid truth modesty.
The spaceman open his hand. It was sleek, amid fingers in the function of inhabitants of "an enriching woman." Adamski reached out to joggle it. But the spaceman shook his head, and vigilantly located his palm against Adamski's. Adamski regarded the man amid awe. He was cleanshaven and na?ve in flavor. He had a high top, artless eyes, and a beam that outdated glittering
teeth. His jumpsuit was sad, amid a glossy brilliance. He wore no charms, carried no weapon. The two men began to express, via a blend of telepathy, gestures, and facial expressions. The spaceman was from Venus, he clued-up Adamski. His trouble was convivial, but sepulcher in purpose. For he had originate to deduce us of the dangers of nuclear explosions dangers for whichever the Land-living and its neighbors in the Astral Machinery. Adamski noticed now the saucer in which he had indoors. Bell-shaped and slight, it was on the edge solely off the ground in a cove. A scout ship, explained the spaceman, that had emerged from the mother ship seen closer. As the coil blew their hair and messy the erase about them, Adamski put questions to the spaceman. How did his ship operate? Did the Venusians contemplate in a Deity? Did they get death? The spaceman answered the questions. But to the same extent Adamski asked to allegation his
picture, he shook his head. He led Adamski over to the saucer. It wobbled in the wind; and prismatic colors flashed on its come to an end. Adamski found himself hesitant, knock down amid joy.
Possibly will he go for a ride? The spaceman shook his head. Possibly will he solely step inside and allegation a demeanor around? No, not at this time. Also the spaceman understood going and reboarded his ship. It rose, glided over the mountains, and spent from view. Adamski was one day rejoining his corporation and inside them in on what had happened. He and the others returned to the site, to spot the spaceman's path and to demeanor for traces of the saucer. Also they bundle all the rage town for treat. Two being taking into consideration an Arizona article ran a story about the encounter. Add-on article share out followed; and it was not crave otherwise Adamski himself was mail a undivided show of his get.
The put your name down for found its way to the register of Waveney Girvan, editor-in-chief of a British publishing house. A UFO supporter, Girvan says that it "finished an hasty allure to me: I felt I was purpose dynamite." Though fearing the book capability turn toddler upon his adorn, he significant to pillar it.* And in the fall of 1953, In the air Bone china Assertion Landed appeared in bookstores. Coauthored by Adamski and Desmond Leslie (a British ufologist who wrote the earlier countenance of the book), it describes in detail the encounter in the put down. It extremely included the latest-and most vivid photos of spacecraft that Adamski had engaged fluff his psychiatrist. In its last part we are told: Now I am eager that the spaceman tendency sphere anew, and that in addition to I tendency be contracted more time to trouble amid him. View me, I am decline up questions. And different of my family are extremely accumulating questions. Couldn't it be possible that he capability indeed let me squeeze a succession in his ship of the Wonderful Ethers? He would not squeeze to organize me twice.

Four Orange Lights Hovering Over San Bernardino California
Nazi Ufos And South American Bases
Then Russians and Americans after the war, couldn't get hold of the scientists involved quick enough.Both countries were desperate not to have the other get hold of what was considered to be advanced propulsion.
I have just found another revealing story and this is written by a German, who no doubt was around at the time of the war and the transfer of some of the technologies.What of the technological oddities that Russia and America didn't manage to get their hands on ?
Is there some truth in the rumours of South American UFO bases and if so,is this where much of the sightings of recent have come from ? Is much of the now seen UFOs in the skies all down to the inventions made in the second World war.. Guaranteed to get your senses going and the mind doing over time..

Did Pennington Build the 1897 U.S.A. Airship?
Reprinted from BUFORA Journal, British U.F.O. Resaerch Association
170 Faversham Road, Kennington, Ashford, Kent
Speculation as to the origin of the 'Airship' reported over the
central States of the U.S.A. in 1897 has resulted in many theories
and at least one of these attributes the sightings to the activities
of a peculiar antique U.F.O. I understand that the reason that the
craft looked very much like the current airship design already
flying in Europe is that the U.F.O. denizens wished to present their
ship to the natives in a manner that would be acceptable and
understandable. However the airship in question did not seem to be
at all anxious to present itself, operating as it did almost
exclusivly by night and skulking during daylight hours in out of the
way places.
Before accepting such 'way out' theories it would seem necessary to
exclude any possibility of the machine being the production of some
far-sighted inventor with the ability, wealth and resources to build
and fly such a machine and also keep the whole project secret.
Witnesses of the airship were often men of excellent reputation for
veracity and often crowds of onlookers werte able to compare
experiences.
The descriptions tallied to a remarkable degree. It seems clear also
that some of the sightings of night flying objects were of quite a
different catagory and to present day ufologists may be recognized
as being the result of 'normal' U.F.O. activity.
From the reports still in existence it is possible to build up a
very good idea of the type of dirigible involved and there is no
doubt that in many respects it is similar to airships already built
and flying in Europe particularly in France. In 1884 Renard and
Krebs devised and built an electrically propelled airship called 'La
France' which made a circular flight of five miles at its first
appearance.
It would indeed have been strange if there had been no parallel
activities in the U.S.A. at that time. Resources of material and
money were there in abundance and amoung the fertile brains of a
rapidly growing scientifically orientated community was there no
person of sufficient genius engineering ability and wealth to take
up the aerial challenge?
I believe there was and I believe that his name was Edward J.
Pennington.
Pennington was born in Franklin, Indiana in 1858 and as a boy showed
remarkable engineering aptitude and as he developed into manhood he
displayed remarkable initiative, charm and persuasiveness. With
these attributes it was not long before he was running his own
factory and at the age of twenty-three had patented a reciprocating
head for planing machines, the first of a continuous stream of
patents which flowed from his active brain until his death in 1911.
He was ruthless too and could exhibit considerable showmanship in
order to further his own ideas. A characteristic of Pennington which
in this context is significant was the secrecy he achieved to
protect his projects and his habit of quietly dropping one idea in
favor of another with little regard to the financial outcome.
By 1885 Pennington had acquired sufficient capital to set up the
Standard Machine Works in Defiance, Ohio and two years later he
created two further firms to make pulleys and wood-working
machinery. A flood of Pennington patents were registered at this
time at Fort Wayne.
There are rumors of a company capitalized at one million dollars in
Oswego, Kansas and another at Cincinnati with factories to produce
'Freight Elevators'. (Could this phrase possibly have been a
euphemism fo load-carrying Airships?)
After a brief appearance at Edinburg, Illinois, where he collected
some 50,000 dollars from the inhabitants for yet another 'pulley
works' he came to rest at Mount Carmel, Illinois, in 1890.
Now things begin to develop...this new Company was actually a four
cylinder radial engine..."for the propulsion of an aerial vessel".
He also let it be known, that he was "readying a vessel to fly from
Mount Carmel to New York".
In 1891 he exhibited a captive airship some thirty feet long and six
feet in diameter. It flew in a circle propelled by an airscrew
turned electrically. The current was conveyed by wires in the
tethering cable.
In 1893 he turned his attention to motor driven vehicles and again a
spate of patents flooded from the Pennington brain. Soon he was
making motor-cycles in Cleveland, Ohio and here he invented the
first balloon tyre.
Such giddy progress was bound to meet with reverses and due to his
dogmatic attitude and ruthless decisions he began to make enemies:
yet his uncanny instinct for avoiding trouble kept him from falling
foul of the law.
During 1894 he joined Thomas Kane who made kerosene engines widely
used in dairies for milk seperation. This event is most important in
this thesis which will be evident later. Here, in Racine on the
shores of lake Michigan they financed a really large concern for the
development of petrol engines.
They patented among other things an 'electric igniter' for petrol
driven engines which was really the first sparking plug, in 1895.
In this year Pennington visited England and took some of his
vehicles with him.
Exercising his well-known assurance and charm he persuaded Henry J.
Lawson, a successful manufacturer of bicycles to purchase patents to
the tune of a half a million dollars. He was still here in 1896 and
entered the Brighton Run. After an altercation with Mons. Leon
Bollee his claim to have won the event was not disputed. After this
he participated in the aerial demonstrations in the U.S.A. late in
1896 and during 1897.
In December 1895 he had deposed with the American Patents Office the
design for a full sized Airship. Many of the features of this design
are so close to those described by witnesses of the aerial ship seen
in 1896 and 1897 that on this evidence alone one would suspect that
Pennington could have been responsible.
Basing the scale of the design on the size of the passenger seats
the overall length of the ship would be about 140 ft. The keel
beneath which provided accommodation for the crew and passengers,
also housed large batteries and extended for 70 ft. with an equal
amount of overhang of the envelope at each end. At the front end of
the envelope a large airscrew about 50 ft. from tip to tip provided
traction. At the rear an ample rudder and a horizontal fin allowed
control of direction.
At the sides two horizontally disposed propellers furnished lateral
'trimming'. Along the top of the ship a high dorsal fin would help
to prevent sideways drift and yawing at slow speeds. Altogether a
very impressive aeronautical design for that period of time.
It is probable that the finished airship based on this plan would
deviate in minor details. Perhaps laterally placed airscrews were
found to give a better lift and control if suitably shaped.
Wings or large ailerons above the envelope would also help to
provide lift if suitably angled. In 1895 during his motorcycle phase
Pennington was heard to remark: "Suppose I have a cycle, screw
driven, making a mile a minute...just suppose that...then suppose
that I put aeroplanes on that machine...and they are under good
control, what then?"
What then indeed, the Wright Brothers would have been forstalled by
several years.
The sighting of the Airship on the ground in 1897 by Captain Hooten
at 6:00 p.m. on about 20th April is usually regarded as a true
account of his experience which he recounted in the Little Rock,
Arkansas, Gazette. He was, he said, out hunting near Homan when he
heard the sound of 'pumping' like the noise of a Westinghouse
locomotive brake.
Going in the direction of the sound he was amazed to behold "the
famous airship" in an open space. A man wearing dark glasses was
doing something at the rear of the ship. As he approached four other
men appeared.
During the ensuing conversation there was no doubt in his mind that
the crew were American. When the ship was ready, three large
'wheels' started to rotate on either side of the airship and with a
hissing sound she took off. The 'aeroplanes' on top of the envelope
sprang forward and the ship rapidly gained height and speed.
((For a more detailed account of this sighting please refer
to the JULY / AUGUST 1966 issue of The Flying Saucer Review.))
The 'pumping noise' is of great significance. This noise is noted in
at least three of the sightings. Twice it was referred to as being
similar to that made by a milk separator. This is almost conclusive,
it was Thomas Kane whom Pennington joined in 1894, who made the
motors for these separators.
All witnesses agree that there were lights aboard in abundance with
one very bright searchlight which was seen to dim as the airship
accelerated.
One witness encountering the aeronaut grounded claims to have asked
why he turned the light on and off so much. He replied, no doubt
truthfully that it consumed a great deal of motive power. We are led
to the conclusion that Pennington's ship was propelled by a petro-
electric, or diesel-electric system. A bank of large batteries would
be charged by a motor driven dynamo and would then operate electric
motors geared to the airscrew(s). This system was widely used for
the propulsion of road vehicles in the early years of this century.
After a trip of some miles it might be necessary to land to recharge
batteries. Such a propulsion system would be well within
Pennington's capabilities at this time.
The crew referred to by some witnesses included a woman, and it was
customary for Pennington to take his wife on most of his exploits.
(He married three times but I cannot find record of any children.)
Also a bearded man.
I have a photograph of Pennington with one of his vehicles and here
he is accompanied by a man with a beard. Pennington himself was tall
and of good physique. He usually sported a rather long dark
moustache.
The next evidence required toward proving that the ship was not only
terrestrial but Pennington's, is to plot the course of the airship
from recorded sightings during the 'voyages' of 1897 and to show
that its speed was within the capabilities of such an early craft
and that it operated in the vicinity of Pennington workshops.
Here I suggest the reader obtain a good large scale map of the
central States of America. Those included in the Encyclopedia
Britannica of 1911 are most useful being nearly contemporary.
Two series of sightings occured in 1897.
EXPEDITION ONE.
Starting from Pennington's base at Oswego, Kansas, to Belleville,
Kansas, to arrive March 25th, thence to Sioux City some 200 miles
northward travelling at night. Making around 40 mph and in fair
weather the six or so hours of darkness would make for an easy
arrival by 28th March. Here the ship landed and charged batteries?
Turning southward an easy night run of 100 miles allowed late
worshippers leaving church at Omaha, Nebraska to view the aerial
visitor. Continuing via Lincoln and Beatrice on the southerly run
arrival at Everest, Kansas on April 1st., another 100 miles apart.
In fact Kansas City was reached quite early at 8:15.
Back to base at Oswego without serious mishap on about the 3rd.
April?
After this there are three possibilities.
a) Pennington flew to Racine on lake Michigan by April 9th
keeping to out-of-the-way landing sites.
b) The ship was partly dismantled and carried by rail in
Pennington's closed rail cars to Racine.
c) That Thomas Kane had another similar airship at Racine.
I would suggest (b) as being the most probable in the circumstances.
Pennington had the resources and the experience in moving large
objects by rail from place to place, vide (as for example), his
captive airship which was shown at exhibitions at Chicago and
elsewhere.
EXPEDITION TWO.
The Airship would have taken the air on the evening of April 9th
1897 and leaving Racine some 60 miles from Chicago was seen first
north of the city and then to south-east at 9:30p.m. passing over
the lake.
Turning westward the ship would have reached the vicinity of Eldon
in Iowa some 200 miles after five hours at around forty mph.
Spending the day of the 10th on the ground at some secluded spot the
batteries would again be charged and ready for the take-off on the
evening of April 10th. Then passing over Eldon westward to Ottumwa
(10 miles) at 7:25 and 7:40 p.m. respectively, the ship is seen near
Albia 25 miles further on at about 8:10 p.m.
This chain of sightings allows some estimation of the airship's
speed-35 miles in 45 minutes which is better than 45 mph. Wind speed
must be taken into account, but from the sighting reports the
weather during this period seems to have been remarkably calm.
Steering now toward the north-west apparently en route for Racine,
the ship would have passed near Mount Carroll but the date given for
the airship over this city is April 9th. One must conclude that if
this date is correct that the craft passed over this city on the
westward leg of its journey before turning south-east toward Eldon.
This is perfectly possible on the time schedule estimated.
However, and here one must speculate on Pennington's movements, it
is not certain how the airship arrived at its next point at Yates
Center, Kansas on April 19th. It could well have travelled at night
over the next week or so southward which would be well within its
40 mph capabilities. Or it may have been once more despatched by
rail.
At Yates Center there was the unfortunate incident of a young heifer
becoming entangled in the mooring rope on takf. Then southeast
and a fairly long haul- 400 miles - to near Texarkana, but at 40 mph
only ten hours of darkness were necessary. Here the ship was obliged
to land on April 21st. to recharge batteries. In the evening when
all was ready for take-off the airship was spotted by one Captain J.
Hooten whose detailed report is well known.
Airborne again and travelling in a leisurely manner Hot Springs,
Arkansas was reached on May 6th. Once more the ship landed and was
encountered by the Law Officers, Constable Sumpter and Deputy
Sheriff McLemore. Both these gentlemen have sworn affidavits to
their evidence in which they tell of a bearded mechanic and a young
woman.
There was also a young man who was engaged in filling a water bag.
They were informed that the ship was en route for Nashville,
Tennessee. This may well have been so, but I feel that it was not
long before it was once again safely in Oswego, Kansas with
Pennington highly satisfied with his aerial exploits. There is
little evidence of its re-appearance.
From the foregoing evidence it must be conceded that the itinerary
followed by the 1897 airship was not particularly miraculous even
for a craft of that period, only it took place in America where
hitherto no such aerial exploits had been seen. No wonder then, that
the onlookers became scared and confused, suspecting the work of the
Devil. The only Devil responsible was in my opinion one eccentric,
brilliant inventor named Edward Joel Pennington.
Of course there are so many questions left unanswered. For instance
why did Pennington decide to drop the whole project just when fame
and fortune might seem to have been within his grasp? I would
suggest that he was clever enough to realize that his airship,
though a very remarkable invention, had very severe limitations
which could not readily be overcome.
There would be little prospect of increasing the battery capacity
without making the ship larger and unwieldy. It was obviously very
much a fine weather craft and he had been extraordinarily lucky to
have had such a long spell of fine, calm weather for his trials.
Also, he would have realized that until the internal combustion
engine could be improved considerably in size and reliability the
whole airship had better be shelved. The new and more financially
rewarding field of the motor car must have seemed to Pennington to
offer much better prospects of immediate financial rewards. He must
also have known that there were aeronautical designers in Europe who
had forged ahead in the airship field with whom he could hardly
compete.
In the Motor Museum in Beaulieu, Hampshire there is a very rare
vehicle. It is an 1896 Pennington motor-tricycle. It is worth
looking at closely. The twin-cylinder, water cooled engine functions
by fuel injection and the ignition system is remarkably ingenious,
operating an early form of spark plug on each cylinder.
The wheels have wire spokes and furnished with wide tires of modern
cross section. It is a really remarkable piece of advanced
engineering for its time and marks its designer, Pennington, as a
brilliant engineer of foresight and genius.
