By Miriam Kramerspace.com3-28-13 Scientists may have discovered the first meteorite from Mercury.The green rock found in Morocco last year may be the first known visitor from the solar systems innermost planet, according to meteorite scientist Anthony Irving, who unveiled the new findings this month at the 44th annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas. The study suggests that a space rock called NWA 7325 came from Mercury, and not an asteroid or Mars.NWA 7325 is actually a group of 35 meteorite samples discovered in 2012 in Morocco. They are ancient, with Irving and his team dating the rocks to an age of about 4.56 billion years....Continue Reading...

UK celebrity and UFO enthusiast Shaun Ryder is releasing a book titled "What Planet Am I On?" In this book, he reveals details relating to two personal unexplained UFO encounters he experienced growing up in the English city of Salford, located in Greater Manchester.

The "Manchester Evening News" reports that one of these sightings occurred when he was a teenager waiting for the school bus. Ryder explains,
I was standing at a bus stop at th'Height at about 9pm at night. I looked up and just saw hundreds of lights across the sky, hundreds of them. My first thought was, 'are we being invaded?' It was amazing. I'd never seen anything like it in my life.
Ryder's second UFO sighting took place when he was on his way to his job as a post boy. He describes seeing an object flash across the sky in front of him at, what he estimates was, 10,000 miles-per-hour.
According to the "Manchester Evening News", "His 200-page book looks at the case for the existence of UFOs as well as Ryder's own views on the significance of life beyond this world."
"What Planet Am I On?" is being released in conjunction with Ryder's new four-part television series titled "Shaun Ryder on UFOs". The show premieres November 10 on History UK, while the book will be released on November 7.
I attentively witnessed various lantern releases over the Christmas rule and on New Being Eve in the company of concerning 12 ">Here's a video I uploaded a to the same extent ago now that shows confident entity misidentified lantern comings and goings as well as a few associated media reports.
"
One section of misidentifying (or not identifying at all) Chinese lanterns that I forever don't a minute ago succeed is the fact that firm witnesses use they race to "Be frightened OFF " at the end of the sighting, one time I've seen a lantern go away it endlessly seems whole to me that the light is being extinguished, and so if I had to associate it to no matter which it would be blockade to a light being turned off completely than an object accelerating digression at a combined speed. I've looked at a team up of cases attentively while the spectator describes this engender a feeling of and one of these reports was practically "Unquestionably" Chinese Lanterns (this conclusion was during at due to locating the family who thoroughly filmed themselves releasing them) and the other report was "Particularly" aptitude lanterns.
The human considerate is a sarcastic disinfect I imagine...... Fortunate, the investigation report is from New Being eve and is a minute ago 4 or 5 miles from while I live, so to the same extent the spectator by a long way ISN'T unfolding the address fantastically lanterns as I seen it repeatedly seems as if they are by a long way unfolding (generic) lanterns. It was posted by Brian Vike to his *WORLDUFOS* Blog and to Vike's pay homage to he labelled the report appropriately:
A variety of Yellowish-brown Lights Concluded Gateshead Tyne And Footing UK (Lanterns)
DATE: January 1, 2011
TIME: When Midnight
"Hi, I've settle been looking on the internet to see if individuality else saw the tawny lights I saw on New Being eve, settle gone, and found your site. I was at my mum's house having a ciggie at the induce entry and watched at bare minimum five tawny lights fly overhead. My mum lives in Gateshead, Tyne and Footing. So they were clear in the Northeast of England too. "
"I eventually tapering one out to my mum, having gone induce interior I didn't tell individuality as they may expose I was settle exaggerating, but having seen in the New Rendezvous, going induce outer to my dad's car to be engaged terrain, the lights were forever going overhead, so put forward require relay been a steady ditch of them whereas I was facing round."
"Spirit prompted terrain they were forever outlook towards the fantastically regulate, design a set of scales of 6 that I did see. I tried plunder a photo on my yell, but all I got was the black sky. They were investigation one contemporary at a steady speed, at the fantastically flatten, going in the fantastically regulate. As firm strain relay optional Chinese lanterns, I don't expose lanterns would stock at the fantastically flatten at the fantastically time or all tour in the fantastically regulate. They were fascinating bright lights too. Yours Enthusiastically. "
"If you relay seen anything be partial to this in the fantastically area at ease be kind satisfactory to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net by the details of your sighting. All directly information is unfriendly furtive. "

Posted by The Vike Minutes UFO Roads Pass on.
Being I was at the same height the report I was overcome to see put forward were 32 reports logged for the first four existence in January alone, this seemed to be a lot patronizing than established. All of these reports were along on the warrant hand side of the alert, nevertheless after a instant peep at the report titles I was spring up sad to see the following:
(News broadcast from WorldUFOs Blogspot )Recording THAT "Each and every one" EP Minutes Character HAS ONE OR Boss Characteristic Inform THAT AT Lowest amount Superficially SUGGESTS CHINESE LANTERNS AS THE Snap.
Are Chinese Lanterns a minute ago "that " deceptive?Going induce to whenever you like my turncoat first saw confident of them in the sky she had no intent what they were but whilst I explained she invented it became whole and even noted that the gleaming engender a feeling of caused by the naked flicker was now currently recognisable for what it was. Here the summer months of 2010 I saw various, various lanterns (confident launches practically one week) by the high proportion of them being late on Friday ">"Vernacular in the House of Mess specifically, Swap Principal Minister Graze Clegg recognised farmers' concerns over the risks lanterns can strut to have available and crops, but ruled out an total ban at the on all sides of time."
THE Actual Dissertation WROTE THAT: "ITV has very arranged it would no longer supervise its Chinese lantern ident to the lead its news instruction voguish the summer months as a put a stop to of the NFU's work.
AND Next STATED: "In Dignified alone put forward were numerous reports of crop fires caused by lanterns, including the casualty of six acres of barley at a work on in Oxfordshire which vital 25 firefighters to playing field the glisten. "
"A substantial picture of cow wounded relay very been certified to lanterns, by natural world sometimes grief-stricken laughable and angst-ridden deaths after ingesting the stance used in their construction.
(Fully).
Countrywide put forward were a "few" UFO reports which appeared to be lanterns and did grow a small media fear, but it was very brief and I attentively hollow that this rapid dump was only a statute put a stop to of excluding lanterns being untruthfully reported as UFOs than in keep on soul. And so I hollow the sight of lanterns transparent in our skies was no longer an '"extraneous" one (pun intended!) and instead confidently I very hollow this intended that most strain were alert of -at least- their existence if not their address be in front of.
Pay to read between the lines, I don't for a further get its pond good luck that most of these reports pose the address character of Chinese lanterns and were very reported over the Christmas & New Rendezvous rule as this is owing whenever you like we would confide in lanterns to be released, and not settle voguish the Christmas festivities (parties, carousing etc.) but particularly to suggest the panic of the new court.
Banish after looking almost the net at recent UFO reports it seems that Vike isn't alone in in receipt of an further details of these kinds of reports over the pay a quick visit rule and so it seems unarguable that there's forever an Offensively Considerable Lot in life of the common people who either only aren't alert of the existence of Chinese lanterns or settle can't reconcile their wisdom of lanterns by the perceptible be in front of whenever you like confronted by them.
Next the sighting of these lanterns has evidently adjoin various strain to corral down the relevant details and contact ego to report their know-how, so I get we can without risk go bust that it wasn't an know-how that any of the witnesses took playfully or one that they hollow could be in simple terms explained and/or dismissed as nought of size.....
For patronizing images, videos, research, brief history and thorough examples of Chinese lanterns being false as UFOs in addition to make sure our IFOs/Lanterns webpage, it was reposted a team up of soul ago and wrote a court previous in 2007 whenever you like Chinese lanterns were a relatively recent phenomenon and were being slowly but surely reported as UFOs (it can be viewed in vogue).

Reptilians are one of the type of aliens that are supposed to be in vogue on Arrive. They are called reptilians for example they resemble reptiles, despite the fact that they do detain a human shape. In fabrication and novels you capacity see them referred to as the "lizard kin". For diverse kin that do not pilfer in aliens, reptilians are well difficult for them to have possession of. The fact that they gawk on the verge of lizards but in a human form are area of what kin touch it so difficult to overcomethey pilfer reptilians expound from the imaginations of TV and movie makers - most prominently the sci-fi divide show V which depicts reptilian humans in their sound out to bring in over Arrive. Expound are still round about accounts of serpent human races in diverse cultures all through the world. In the company of associates who do pilfer in reptilians, present-day is meaningfully notion that reptilians are on Arrive manipulating and controlling humans. Expound are diverse claims that world leaders are not they say that humans, but are they say that reptilians oblique as humans. They bring in up the facade in establish to control world deeds and humans. Many kin be expecting that the reptilians are scrape towards a "One World Order". This conspiracy theory - the REPTILIAN Contain OF Humanity is one of the strongest theories among alien conspiracy theories.

"The Spaceship Handbook" and "The Saucer Fleet" are complimentary works by Jack Hagerty and Jon Rogers and are both published through the ARA Press. "The Spaceship Handbook" provides information on theoretical, fictional, and real (but not developed) spacecraft and is an essential reference for spaceship modelers and general sci-fi spaceship fans. "The Saucer Fleet" features detailed information on famous flying saucers depicted on the big screen, television and print. Both works provide historical accounts, detailed drawings, plot summaries and the like. Some of this information is available on Jon's site, Rogers Rocketships.THE SPACESHIP HANDBOOKThis book provides almost 5 lbs of information on theoretical, fictional, and real (but not developed) spacecraft that is sure to please rocketeers, space enthusiasts, and amateur sci-fi historians alike. It documents 75 spacecraft and provides detailed drawings, historical backgrounds, plot summaries (for purely fictional craft), and mission backgrounds (for potentially real craft). Its hardbound, 8 1/2" x 11" x 1.25" cover houses 534 pages and over 500 graphics. You can see sample pages, drawings, and a complete outline here on ARA Press's site.ORGANIZATIONThe presentation of each spacecraft starts with a historical background. Where there are multiple craft from one source, this includes a section on the designer, and separate sections for each craft. These include photos, diagrams, artwork, and detailed, dimensioned drawings. The dimensioned drawings are basically the same format as those presented in "Rockets of the World", by Peter Always. There is a short 'Quickspec' for each, providing the type of vehicle, the year, the medium in which it was first documented, the designer, and the overall dimensions. The authors also provide brief modelers notes, which provide hints, suggestions and references to previous models. These are not plans (no reference to body tubes, nose cones, or balsa), and the main aide to the builder are the drawings. Finally, where the authors have opinions and/or want to present some related material, they include an epilog.The book is organized into three major sections and two appendices. The first section, entitled "The Theoreticians", covers works by early rocket scientists. The second section, "The Entertainers", moves from scientists who dreamed of spaceflight, to people whose goal it was to bring that dream to the rest of us. This is the largest of the sections. The third and final section, "The Real Stuff", presents modern conceptual vehicles. As with the first section, this is limited to vehicles that never made it into hardware. The book also includes two appendices. Appendix A is entitled "The Atomic Powered Spaceship: Yesterday's Dream, Spaceflight's Future?" I'll describe this more below. Appendix B, "Model Rocketry: Plans and Personalities", includes a tribute to G. Harry Stine and plans for four rockets."THE THEORETICIANS"This section provides detailed discussions of spacecraft by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Hermann Oberth, Eugen S"anger, Chesley Bonestell/Willy Ley, and Von Braun. Although the book provides a great deal of historical information, it does not represent a comprehensive history since the book, by design, only covers theoretical rockets and spaceships. Although this section is dominated by Von Braun, it only covers his theoretical works - you won't find a V2 in there. As it turns out, Von Braun did a good deal of work for television shows produced by Walt Disney. Although developed for the early entertainment industry, these were backed up by some level of actual engineering thought. They thus fit nicely in this section, while providing a perfect transition to the next..."THE ENTERTAINERS"This lengthy section includes subjects from the 1900's through 1968's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The media represented includes printed sources (comics, pulp fiction, and novels), radio, TV, and the big screen. The author says they stopped there because information on many of the popular spaceships since then (Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.) is already well documented in the modeling communities. The number of spaceships covered defies listing in this review and I refer the reader to the outline contained in the URL presented above. Some of the more familiar entries include Friede (from Die Frau Au Mond), Buck Rogers, the TinTin rocket, Gerry Andersons' Thunderbirds, ships from 2001: A Space Odyssey, Josie's Spaceship (from Josie and the Pussycats), and the Myst Island Rocket from the video game. There are even several entries by one G. Harry Stine, who also was also a sci-fi author! The one place this book let me down was that it didn't have plans for the Fireball XL-5, which is one of my favorite subjects. This omission was due to publishing deadlines and there is teaser about a future Volume 2."THE REAL STUFF"This section is dedicated to spacecraft from the late 1950's, 1960's and 1990's that never were realized in hardware. These include the X-20, NASA 6 F-1, Project Pluto, Manned Orbiting Laboratory, Lockheed-Martin's VentureStar, Kistler's K-1, Kelly's Astroliner, Pioneer's Pathfinder, and the Rotary Rocket Roton. One thing to note is that in earlier sections, the primary designer, author, or producer could be identified. By the 1950's, the work of rocket science was now dominated by the government and/or private companies with "armies of technical people". I would have liked to seen this section be a bit thicker. I hope that Volume 2 will include a section on the X-Prize contestants - at least those who don't eventually make it into space.APPENDICIESAppendix A, entitled "The Atomic Powered Spaceship: Yesterday's Dream, Spaceflight's Future?" is a paper on interplanetary space travel. Although the title sounds somewhat specific, this covers a wide range of topics and presents the results of a bit of number crunching buy the author. This paper includes: challenges in manned interplanetary space flight; a tutorial on how rockets work; the human factors of space flight; a methodology for comparing engine/propulsion options; a subsequent analysis of a wide variety of engines, from chemical to matter/anti-matter; the potential destinations within our solar system; and a description of what it will take to get to those destinations. Most of this paper is not very detailed or highly technical and should be of interest to those of our hobby.Appendix B. The Tribute to G. Harry is part biography and part a personal memoir by the author. The plans vary in detail, but should be sufficient for a scratch builder to replicate the four craft: Luna from Destination Moon, Thunderbirds 1 and 3, and the X-20 Dyna Soar/Titan IIIE. These plans were taken from 3rd parties and the proper credit is given.CONCLUSIONI am amazed at the quality and amount of material covered in this book. The book exceeded my expectations and even if I don't build a single model from this book, it will provide continuous inspiration for my future modeling activities. I would have liked to see the Fireball XL-5 and more 'real' spacecraft described, so I offer this a suggestion for a future Volume 2.I want to thank Jack Hagerty of ARA Press for the signed copy that he so generously donated to the EMRR NASROC and MonsterROC photo contest. I hear his stock is running short so you should hurry if you want a copy. I doubt if many owners will be wanting to give theirs up. Maybe if enough people contact him he'll consider reprinting it.THE SAUCER FLEET"The Saucer Fleet" is the latest release from Jack Hagerty and Jon Rogers of "Spaceship Handbook" fame. This 330 page hard-cover book features detailed information on famous flying saucers depicted on the big screen, television and print, including:* The Day the Earth Stood Still* War of the Worlds* This Island Earth* Forbidden Planet* Earth vs. The Flying Saucers* Lost in Space* The Invaders* plus some others.CONTENTSThe book can be viewed as an adjunct to "The Spaceship Handbook", which conspicuously omitted saucers. In his intro, Jack notes that these saucers don't exactly fit there, as they haven't contributed to the history of the spacecraft. But then, neither do items like the Josie's Spaceship (from Josie and the Pussycats), which was featured in "The Handbook". I for one think that they do have their place, even if only in my imagination, since the real world versions haven't panned out (for example, see my post on the Pye Wacket). Be that as it may, I think saucers are cool and am happy Jack and Jon gave us this book. (BTW, I liked Josie's Spaceship.)The presentation is similar to that in "The Handbook", including: a background section that sets the historical context; a summary of the story; a description of the subject vehicle including a detailed, dimensioned drawings; background on where the authors got their data; and, finally, an epilogue with the author's comments. The whole thing is packed with photos. New to this work, many of the drawings also provide interior details. There are some modeler's notes, but these are pretty much limited to the kits that have been produced.In his forward, Dr. Phil "Bad Astronomer" Plait says the book is a biography of these shows. It is that and more. To present that biography, the authors first delve into the history and sociology behind the UFO craze, which continues to this day. The saucers in the book were motivated by that phenomenon and undoubtedly did their part to fuel it on. I actually found this to be one of the more interesting aspects of the book. Note that this book is about flying saucers (known entities created by our imaginations) and not UFO's (unknown entities that may really exist, but whose origin is in dispute).The historical and story summaries were also interesting. One of the cool things was to see how these classics influenced later sci-fi works. There is even an occasional discussion about the real science behind the fictitious technology. I now know what a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is. And how much energy would be released if the strong force holding your atoms together was abruptly released. Cool, huh? It was also really neat to get a recap of features like I love like The Day the Earth Stood Still and Lost is Space. I'd like to see them again now that I have read the book.While the saucer descriptions and diagrams were the main thing I originally wanted from the book, they actually were a small part of the whole. There is not much material available on the saucers and what there is is usually inconsistent. The authors performed a lot of photogrammetry and often had to resort to supposition, and extrapolation. It's clear they really did their homework to dig out details about these ships. The results are the most detailed plans available on these saucers. (Actually, that statement may have some supposition on my part too.)The 'archeological' reports and and epilogues were of mixed interest to me. In general, the detailed analysis of the the interiors of these spacecraft were a bit much. The main benefit of this detail is twofold. First, detailed sci-fi modelers will understand what they are modeling second, scale modelers in general will understand how develop plans from photographic sources. The epilogues also went into more detail on the movies influence, both in terms of the story lines as well as the physical props.CONCLUSION:I found the book interesting, but mainly not in ways I had expected. I think that it will appeal mostly to sci-fi buffs and fans of the subject shows. The drawings will be useful to sci-fi modelers but many can be used for flying models as well. However, since ours fly upward instead of sideways, the non-symmetrical ones would be problematic. But if you want scale points for your saucer, the book will be very useful.While I really liked the read, this will have less influence on my building the "The Spaceship Handbook" and the latter is a better buy for the sport rocketeer. I hope this review says enough to allow prospective readers to determine if this this book is for them.I want to extend my sincere thanks to Jack for sponsoring the "Rocket Family" photo contest, Nick for honchoing it and of course those who thought my Fireball XL5 family was worthy.
