People in three southern US states spotted a sharp fireball streak coming down from the sky, introduced by a loud boom around 8am, which officials and scientists identified as a bright meteor on Thursday.
Seen in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi by more than 30 people, the shiny fireball appeared in the sky for a few seconds and was first spotted 54 miles (87km) above the Mississippi river near Alcorn, officials said.
Locals said they had heard loud booms in Claiborne County and surrounding areas, according to Nasa.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency on Thursday said the noise was caused by the fireball.
“After multiple reports of a loud sound this morning across a portion of our state, MEMA has confirmed with NASA it was a fireball that caused the noise. No injuries or property damage have been reported. We are told the meteor ran parallel to the Mississippi River,” the disaster management body said on Twitter.
According to Nasa, the disintegration of the fireball generated enough energy to create shockwaves that spread to the ground, producing the booms and vibrations felt by people in the area.
Bill Cooke, lead of Nasa’s Meteoroid Environments Office at Marshall Space Flight Centre in Alabama’s Huntsville said that this is “one of the nicer events seen” in the data of Geostationary Lightning Mappers.
“What struck me as unusual was how few eyewitness reports we had given the skies were so clear. More people heard it than saw it,” Mr Cooke said.
Scientists have called the object a “bolide” and said it moved southwest at a speed of 55,000 miles per hour (88,500km/hr) before destructing into pieces as it entered deeper into Earth’s atmosphere.
The bolide fragmented 34 miles above a swampy area north of the unincorporated Concordia Parish community of Minorca in Louisiana.
A witness from the Vicksburg Post who heard the loud boom in the sky said she looked up and spotted “an “orange fireball the size of a basketball, with a white tail behind it,” heading west toward the Mississippi River.
Officials at Claiborne County Emergency Management agency informed the locals that there was no involvement of the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station.
“Citizens of Claiborne County, local officials are aware of the loud sound that was heard throughout the county,” the agency said in a Facebook post.
It added: “Grand Gulf Nuclear Station was not involved in this occurrence and the site is secure. ... There is no threat to the county and no action is to be taken.”

Woman Says She Is Terrified Of Being Abducted By Aliens After Making Nine UFO Sightings ( brobible )
- A woman who claims to have experienced nine UFO sightings is now afraid to leave her house.
- She says she is afraid that if she does, or even looks up into the sky, she will be abducted by aliens.
Sacha Christie of Liverpool, England says she has seen nine UFOs during her life and is now so spooked that she is afraid to leave her house or look up at the sky for fear of being abducted by aliens.
She claims to suffer from Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of those nine UFO encounters, the first of which occurred when she was just 7 years-old.
“It’s very hard to explain my encounters, as it’s hard for me to believe what I’ve seen,” she explained, reports the Mirror.
“I’ve spent my whole life trying to think of other scenarios, of things that it could be, but the only conclusion is that it’s other life forms and UFOs.
“Looking at the sky, it scares me, as I don’t know what I’m going to see next.”
Her most frightening UFO sighting, 25 years ago, scarred her for life
Much of her trauma stems from a UFO sighting she had 25 years ago with her ex-partner Steve and her son Louie while on vacation in the town of Glyn Ceiriog, Wales.
“I saw Steve outside looking at the sky, I ran out there to see what was wrong. He was pointing at these fluorescent lights in the sky that seemed to be getting bigger the closer they moved towards us.
“As the clouds were so low, the shadows and shape of UFO made it look like bright rippling jellyfish in the sky. It was fascinating.
“That’s when something reached out of the hedge and touched Louie’s foot.”
It was then that things took a turn for the worse, she says.
“I stood there for another minute or so, when I suddenly heard something running barefoot in the mud behind me. All of a sudden, it bumped into me as it ran past and my chest exploded.
“Before I even realized it was happening, I was running back to the house in a panic, in complete hysterical blindness, I couldn’t see where I was going. I just knew I needed to run.”

Il nostro universo è stato creato in laboratorio dagli alieni? ( Esquire )
Pensateci un attimo, è possibile che una civiltà aliena arrivi ad essere così avanzata e così in controllo delle leggi naturali che la circondano da essere in grado di creare un "universo"? Ovvero un qualcosa che dal nulla esplode e si espande e al cui interno si crea di tutto e di più (tra cui noi)?
Secondo qualche scienziato (particolarmente sensibile al tema extraterrestri, c'è da dire) come l'astronomo di Harvard Avi Loab sarebbe un'ipotesi da tenere in considerazione e infatti ne ha scritto in modo approfondito su Scientific American.
Secondo Loeb le civiltà possono essere suddivise a seconda di quanto possano "riprodurre le condizioni astrofisiche che hanno portato alla loro esistenza". Ad esempio gli essere umani rientrerebbero nella classe C, se non nella classe D, perché ovviamente non siamo assolutamente autosufficienti. Se il Sole si spegnesse moriremmo in un attimo, e inoltre stiamo distruggendo tutte le risorse che abbiamo trovato sul pianeta arrivando piano piano a fare i conti con una possibile estinzione.
D'altra parte, le civiltà di classe B, scrive Loeb, sono abbastanza avanzate da ricreare le condizioni in cui vivono, indipendentemente dalla loro stella ospite. E le civiltà di classe A ovviamente arriverebbero al livello tale da controllare ogni cosa, riuscendo persino a generare quello che lui definisce come un "universo infantile". Ovvero, secondo questa teoria un bel po' estrema, il nostro.
E insomma siamo dentro un laboratorio, una grossa simulazione. Saremmo mai in grado di uscirne e capire cosa c'è fuori? E di conseguenza capire perché esistiamo e perché esiste tutto il resto?
Nel 1665 testimoni oculari assistettero alla “battaglia UFO” e dopo si ammalarono ( YGNews )
Non molto tempo fa 1.500 pagine di ricerche relative agli UFO sono state declassificate come parte di una richiesta FOIA.
Ha indicato 42 casi in cui esseri umani hanno subito lesioni dopo presunti incontri con “veicoli anomali”, che significano UFO, poiché le persone sono state esposte a condizioni legate alle radiazioni elettromagnetiche con alcune presumibilmente inflitte da “sistemi di propulsione legati all’energia”.
Il database dei documenti include più di 1.500 pagine di materiale relativo agli UFO del Programma di identificazione delle minacce aerospaziali avanzate (AATIP), un programma segreto del Dipartimento della Difesa degli Stati Uniti che si è svolto dal 2007 al 2012.
Ma si scopre che l’impatto negativo degli UFO sulle persone non è un fenomeno nuovo. Gli storici stanno studiando un caso UFO di 350 anni che rimane un mistero fino ad oggi.
L’incidente ebbe luogo nel pomeriggio dell’8 aprile 1665 verso le 14 quando un gruppo di pescatori ancorato vicino a Barhoff fu testimone di quelle che descrissero come “navi nel cielo” impegnate in battaglia.
“Dopo un po ‘, dal cielo apparve una forma piatta e rotonda, come un piatto o un grande cappello di un uomo”, scrisse l’autore Erasmus Francis, che raccolse notizie sull’incidente nel 1689.
“L’oggetto aveva il colore di una luna che si oscurava e si librava proprio sopra la chiesa di San Nicola. Lì, l’oggetto volante è rimasto immobile fino a sera. I pescatori, eccitati a morte, non volevano più assistere a questo spettacolo e si coprivano il viso con le mani”.
Secondo il rapporto di Francisca, le persone che hanno assistito agli oggetti si sono presto ammalate e hanno sofferto di tremori e dolori alla testa e agli arti.
L’intero incidente è stato successivamente giudicato “inspiegabile” e la causa dei sintomi degli uomini non è mai stata trovata.
Nella loro analisi del giugno 2015, i ricercatori Chris Obeck e Martin Shaw hanno esaminato diverse possibili spiegazioni per ciò che stavano vedendo i pescatori, ma non sono riusciti a trovare una risposta definitiva.
Alla fine giunsero alla conclusione che si trattava di un avvistamento UFO, anche se non si sa se fosse uno dei primi nella storia.

NASA Says Video of Mars UFOs Likely Fake ( The Debrief )
According to NASA, images of two separate UFOs photographed by the Perseverance Rover hanging in the skies of Mars are most likely fakes. This type of direct statement from the American space agency on UFOs is new, as previous, similar images either haven’t been addressed or were simply dismissed as grains of sand or dead pixels in the image.
Both images are part of a video sent to The Debrief, alleging to show what appears to be two separate UFOs photographed by the Perseverance rover. However, the space agency says such efforts are almost surely the result of “space enthusiasts” who make these types of images for fun.
UFOS IN SPACE IMAGERY ARE NOT NEW
Humans regularly scan Earth’s skies for UFOs. Since the first human-made craft ventured into space in the 1960s, people have also scoured the videos and still images returned by these craft in hopes of finding something unexplained. Such images often make it to social media and other platforms, where skeptics and believers alike can dissect, analyze and mull them over to their heart’s content.
Still, from time to time, these “anomalous” videos and images make their way to The Debrief’s News Desk, compelling us to find an answer. NASA has typically been reluctant to address unusual things spotted in their images, especially those labeled UFOs, but this time they are going ahead and calling this latest image a likely fabrication.
NASA SAYS MARS UFOS ARE LIKELY “FAN-MADE WORK” AND NOT ACTUAL ALIENS
“Thank you for your interest in NASA’s Perseverance rover,” reads the reply from NASA spokesperson Alana Johnson when asked by The Debrief about the suspect video. “Space enthusiasts and other image processors are often excited about raw imagery downlinked from NASA spacecraft. Sometimes it is used and altered to create fan-made works shared online. The particular product you are asking about seems to be one of those examples.”
Johnson provided a link to the agency’s raw image database, which they said is the likely source of the altered image. Unfortunately, the image database has over 100,000 pics just for Perseverance alone, so tracking down the exact photos from the video was unsuccessful. However, a quick survey of the YouTube poster behind the video reveals some odd findings.
First, the channel has a straightforward science name: Physics Insight. Second, the channel has several straight science posts in its current “uploads” cue.
However, a quick scan down to the channel’s “popular” uploads reveals a treasure trove of previous videos also purporting to show UFOs over Mars. And much like the newest video, they are filled with images taken directly from NASA. Most have over 100k views, with many earning or exceeding half a million. Strangely, the latest video with the two Perseverance UFOs has less than 1k views.
NEW NASA ATTITUDE MAY HELP SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF REAL UFOS
Although a fabricated UFO video is not exactly breaking news, the fact that NASA was willing to comment on the video seems to echo a change in attitude toward UFO questions in general. This may be a one-time event, but it may also mean that the statements made by new NASA head Bill Nelson regarding UFOs have given the agency some license to finally address the issue head-on.

UAP — THE CLASSIFIED BRIEFINGS ( Medium )
There’s been much speculation regarding why Congress, after decades of silence, had decided to introduce legislation into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to address unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP), and now we may know.
In numerous interviews, Lue Elizondo has discussed the high definition videos and associated sensor data that were analyzed by the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) that exhibit the five observables. There has always been speculation that congressional committees had seen high-resolution videos of UAP, yet never substantiated until now.
On April 22nd, 2022, Ryan Robbins of Post Disclosure World, interviewed Lue Elizondo. Robbins, who was highly motivated and determined to get an answer, asked Lue Elizondo, “What is Congress seeing in the classified briefings that are leading to all this legislation (National Defense Authorization Act legislation) and all this commentary?
Elizondo went on to state:
“What are they (Congress) seeing and what they are hearing is very compelling, what they are getting in some cases and certainly their staff, I know that to be a fact, are receiving high-definition videos photographs and things taken from very sensitive platforms every week, they’re getting new information and this week alone we have two more very interesting incidents coming out of two different opposite areas of responsibilities (AOR), so a lot of information is coming fast and furious.”
On July 17th, 2021, in an interview on Fade to Black, Elizondo dropped clues regarding the 23-minute high-definition UAP footage and also indicated “it was one of many that AATIP had analyzed.”
In a lengthy parsing of information, Elizondo is paraphrased here as saying:
It was not Tic Tac shaped and potentially involved multiple vehicles, and the data was collected by an official US collection sensor, Elizondo also indicated it wouldn’t be surprising if the video was leaked because it wasn’t pervasive, although Elizondo denounced leaking of any kind.
It moved at excessive speeds having peculiar movements and patterns we wouldn’t understand.
It appears that there were several crafts involved and certainly big enough from our context, that several occupants could fit within the craft.
Additionally, there’s been multiple discussions regarding a triangular-shaped UAP video emerging from the ocean, and photographs are allegedly being passed around military intelligence and Department of Defense officials.
If these videos exist, and Congress has seen them, it would certainly leave an indelible impression and likely contribute to the language in the NDAA legislation.
Whats in the Videos?
The History Channel published the article “These 5 UFO Traits, Captured on Video by Navy Fighters, Defy Explanation”, with great historical data and references, the basics are taken here:
The Five Observables
Anti-gravity lift
Unlike any known aircraft, these objects have been sighted overcoming the earth’s gravity with no visible means of propulsion. They also lack any flight surfaces, such as wings. In the Nimitz incident, witnesses describe the crafts as tubular, shaped like a Tic Tac candy, however, numerous shapes, and configurations have been described and documented in public sightings reports.
Sudden and instantaneous acceleration
The objects may accelerate or change direction so quickly that no human pilot could survive the g-forces — they would be crushed. In the Nimitz incident, radar operators say they tracked one of the UFOs as it dropped from the sky at more than Mach 30 or 23,000 mph.
Hypersonic velocities without signatures
If an aircraft travels faster than the speed of sound, it typically leaves “signatures,” like vapor trails and sonic booms. Many UFO accounts note the lack of such evidence.
Low observability, or cloaking
Even when objects are observed, getting a clear and detailed view of them, either through pilot sightings, radar, or other means remain difficult. Witnesses generally only see the glow or haze around them.
Trans-medium travel
Some UAPs have been seen moving easily in and between different environments, such as space, the earth’s atmosphere, and water.
After decades of silence, Congressional motivation to understand the phenomenon, and control the narrative was likely reached from the classified report and is evident in their obvious urgency to obtain intelligence through the NDAA legislation.
What Does The President Know?
Dr. Robert (Bob) McGwier is an adjunct professor at Virginia Tech, former chief scientist at the Hume Center, and Founder of Hawkeye 360, holds a Ph.D. in applied mathematics, (Brown University) and a BS in electrical engineering (Auburn University).
In comments from April of 2021, McGwier, who holds a security clearance, but was not present at a National Security Council classified briefing, told Spaced Out Radio:
“I know several people who were in the national security council meeting and the best comment I heard was ‘what we had was 40 minutes of science fiction movies, we were all gobsmacked, There were 70 pages and 14 videos, they got to see the good stuff. There was a full classified report and 14 videos, but the committees and the White House — they saw the works.”
The confirmation that Congressional subcommittees and their staffers have seen videos, photographs, and additional intelligence from sensitive platforms, corroborates McGwier’s assertions that lawmakers and the executive branch are being briefed with high-definition videos of anomalous objects.
ONI / UAP Task Force, Preliminary Assessment: on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, stipulated UAP posed a national security threat, and McGwire referred to videos being viewed in the National Security Council (NEC) briefing.
The National Security Council is the President’s principal forum for considering national security and foreign policy matters with their senior advisors and cabinet officials, and the UAP report stipulated a national security threat that would require the NSC’s attention.
“Identification of potential aerospace or other threats posed by the UAP to national security, and an assessment of whether this UAP activity may be attributed to one or more foreign adversaries”- UAP Preliminary Report
The NEC is chaired by the president of the United States. As chairman of the NSC, the president was briefed as a matter of necessity, with highly classified UAP high-definition videos, photographs, intelligence debriefings of naval and other military personnel, and sensitive sensor data from ground-based and orbital platforms, and likely much more.
Reviewing all the members that regularly attend National Security Council meetings, you can get an idea of the Washington power that possesses this information. Virtually every position appointed by the president is in attendance to address matters of National Security.
The United States Government now likely sits on the biggest mystery in global history and has yet to inform the American public.
Aliens Created Our Universe in a Lab, Scientist Suggests ( yhaoo!news )
Avi Loeb, astronomy’s resident bad boy, suggests the universe may have been created in a laboratory.
Our supposed creators, Loeb writes in an op-ed published in Scientific American last year, may have developed the technology needed to construct “baby universes” capable of producing life.
He also introduces a new classification system for advanced civilizations.
Could our universe have been created in a petri dish? Avi Loeb seems to think so. The Harvard astronomer posits that a higher “class” of civilization may have conjured up our universe in a laboratory far, far away.
👁 Science is on our side. We’ll help you understand it all.
“Since our universe has a flat geometry with a zero net energy, an advanced civilization could have developed a technology that created a baby universe out of nothing through quantum tunneling,” Loeb writes in an op-ed published by Scientific American last year.
This theory, he suggests, would unite two seemingly opposite notions: the idea that a higher power might be driving our fate, and the secular concept of quantum gravity (a field of physics that seeks to work gravity into the theory of quantum mechanics—something that, to the bane of physicists everywhere, we haven’t been able to do yet on Earth). Primarily, this theory hinges on a far-off advanced civilization’s ability to meld both quantum mechanics and gravity and subsequently identify and recreate all of the universe’s ingredients. (Sounds like a lot of work, t0 be honest.)
He also introduces a new way of classifying exactly what makes a civilization advanced—one that veers away from Soviet astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev’s system, which organizes civilizations based on the amount of energy they generate and consume.
According to Kardashev, Type I civilizations—greetings, Earthlings!—are only advanced enough to utilize the starlight that reaches their planet (4×1012 watts), while Type II civilizations have mastered the ability to fully harness their host star’s power (4×1026 watts). Dyson sphere, anyone? Type III civilizations, the final classification in his framework, are able to harness all of the energy within their galaxy (a whopping 4×1037 watts).Loeb, by contrast, has devised a framework that breaks advanced civilizations down into classes based on their ability to “reproduce the astrophysical conditions that led to its existence.”
Earthlings would fall into class C because, as a “low-level” technological civilization, we would not be able to recreate our current conditions should the sun suddenly die. (He suggests we might even fall into the class D category because we’re actively destroying our only home.) On the other hand, class B civilizations, Loeb writes, are advanced enough to recreate the conditions in which they live, independent of their host star.
A class A civilization, like our proposed creators, would be able to, say, generate large amounts of dark energy and, as Loeb suggests, create “baby universes,” or smaller universes controlled by this higher civilization, that could potentially spawn life. He also suggests that, due to competition, only one advanced civilization at a time would be able to reach this level of sophistication.
It’s a truly, truly bonkers idea, but it is interesting to think about. And it brings up a set of intriguing questions: What makes a civilization truly technologically advanced? Are we an advanced simulation? What might this “laboratory” look like, anyway?

US government's secret UFO program may have considered nuking the moon, newly released reports reveal (
![The moon looms in the foreground, with a small Earth in the background.]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAWoUL5.img?h=373&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f"} "The moon looms in the foreground, with a small Earth in the background. - Provided by Live Science")
The U.S. government's now-defunct Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) spent millions of taxpayer dollars to research bizarre, experimental technologies such as invisibility cloaks, antigravity devices, traversable wormholes, and a proposal to tunnel through the moon with nuclear explosives, according to dozens of documents obtained by Vice.com.
The documents, which include nearly 1,600 pages of reports, proposals, contracts and meeting notes, reveal some of the stranger priorities of AATIP – a secretive Department of Defense program that ran from 2007 to 2012, but only became known to the public in 2017, when the program's former director resigned from the Pentagon.
That year, AATIP became synonymous with UFOs, thanks to several now-infamous videos of an unidentified aircraft moving in seemingly impossible ways that former director Luis Elizondo leaked to the press after his resignation.
But the new documents suggest AATIP was up to more than just investigating reported UFO encounters. The entire cache of 51 documents, obtained by Vice via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed four years ago, can be read here.Perhaps most intriguing among the documents are the several dozen Defense Intelligence Reference Documents (DIRDs), which discuss the viability of various "advanced technolog[ies]." This collection includes reports on "traversable wormholes, stargates, and negative energy," "high-frequency gravitational wave communications," "warp drive, dark energy, and the manipulation of extra dimensions," and many other topics that will sound familiar to fans of science fiction.
Many of the reports stress the impracticalities of implementing advanced technologies. In the DIRD report on invisibility cloaking, for example, the authors (whose names have been redacted in all of the reports) write that, "perfect cloaking devices are impossible because they require materials where the speed of light approaches infinity." However, cloaking devices that make objects invisible to microwave-based sensors, such as radars and motion detectors, are "definitely within reach of the present technology," the report authors wrote.
Other reports do not shy away from bold, sometimes outlandish proposals for realizing advanced technologies. In a report on "negative mass propulsion," the authors propose a plan to look for extremely lightweight metals in the center of the moon that may be "100,000 times lighter than steel, but still [have] the strength of steel." To reach the center of the moon, the authors suggest blasting a tunnel through the lunar crust and mantle using thermonuclear explosives.
Of course, the U.S. has not nuked the moon and shows no immediate intention to; NASA's upcoming Artemis missions plan to return humans to the moon for the first time since the Apollo era, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sustainable human presence there. Rattling the moon with nuclear explosions would likely prove contrary to this mission.
Whether these DIRD documents ever led to any long-term investments in advanced technologies is unclear. According to Vice, much of AATIP's agenda relied on contract research from a private company called Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS). The company – run by Robert Bigelow, a personal friend of late Sen. Harry Reid, who was responsible for the creation of AATIP – was awarded a $10 million contract for their first year of research for the program, Vice reported.
This latest FOIA document dump arrives just three weeks after British tabloid The Sun obtained more than 1,500 pages of documents related to alleged UFO encounters cataloged by the AATIP. Included among the documents was a report on the alleged biological effects of UFO encounters on humans. The report listed paralysis, "apparent abduction" and "unaccounted for pregnancy" as reported side effects of alleged UFO encounters, Live Science previously reported.
Vice reporters will be delving into their newly acquired database of AATIP documents in detail over the coming weeks. Follow their coverage here.

UFO Repeatedly Spotted And Filmed By Numerous People In Texas Has Citizens Baffled ( brobible )
- A UFO was recently spotted by numerous residents of Hays County, Texas.
- This isn’t the first time this has happened in the area, yet so far there is no explanation for it.
Stick a pin in the city of Kyle, Texas, located in Hays County, because on multiple occasions over the past few months a strange UFO has appeared in the sky and no one has an explanation for it.
One witness who has captured video of the UFO, Sal Sanchez, says he saw it back in January.
“I just walked out and saw this strange light in the sky,” Sanchez told Fox 7 Austin back then. “I was looking around at all the planes in the air like, ‘Is anybody seeing this?’”
Then, this past Sunday night, he saw it again and said it put on a “light show like you wouldn’t believe.”
“You had to have been here to see it,” he said. “There was one right after another.”
Related: F-18 Pilot Says He Locked On To Infamous UFO, Thought It Was ‘Part Of A Training Exercise’
Sanchez’s daughter also claims to have see the same UFO.
“My daughter saw it another time,” said Sanchez. “Two that were coming south to north met up with one that was going north to south, and it turned around and followed the other ones back.”
He says that due to the low altitude and lack of sound the UFO emits he doesn’t believe that it is a drone.
“If it is something that is not of this world, why here in Kyle?” he asked.
Despite multiple appearances, there still is no explanation for this mysterious UFO
Jane Kyle, a UFOlogist who has been documenting UFO sightings across the state for more than 10 years, offered her assessment of Sanchez’s footage.
“I’ve seen a lot and this video intrigued me,” she told Fox 7 Austin.
“My first thought was that maybe this is a Chinese lantern, but it is definitely not. The video goes for over a minute, the light is solid the whole time and it looks to be moving intentionally.”
She too dismisses the idea that the mysterious lights are being caused by a drone.
“It would have to be a very expensive, advanced drone,” said Kyle. “Drones can fly like 400 feet, pretty high up there, and there are some advanced drones that can go like 100 miles per hour.”
She also pointed out that similar UFO sightings occurred well before 2006 when drones were officially allowed to fly in civilian airspace there.
“It’s very possible that this is not anything that we’re familiar with,” she added.

Abbiamo mandato un messaggio agli alieni chiedendo loro di salvarci ( Esquire )
Il METI invierà un messaggio sul sistema TRAPPIST-1, chiedendo aiuto per il riscaldamento globale.
SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) è il famoso programma di ricerca della vita extraterrestre creato da Frank Drake a cavallo tra gli anni Sessanta e i Settanta. METI invece nasce nel 2015 e sta per "Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence" una versione leggermente diversa dello stesso progetto che però sottolinea la sua natura più attiva e incentrata proprio sull'invio di comunicazioni.
Ultimamente questo gruppo, composto da scienziati, sociologi, storici, antropologi e artisti, ha inviato un messaggio interstellare sul sistema TRAPPIST-1 che si trova a 39 anni luce di distanza. Su questo messaggio ha cercato di raccontare la crisi climatica che sta affliggendo il nostro pianeta, nella speranza di trovare comprensione e magari aiuto da parte di una civiltà avanzata.
Intorno a questa stella orbitano almeno 7 mondi rocciosi e c'è la speranza che almeno uno di essi sia paragonabile al nostro quanto a presenza di esseri viventi. l'altro motivo che ha spinto il METI a mandare questo messaggio è convinzione, già dibattuta da molti scienziati, che gli umani possano essere una specie molto giovane, mentre un universo vecchio circa 14 miliardi di anni è possibile abbia ospitato specie molto più antiche ed evolute che se sono vive ancora oggi hanno sicuramente affrontato il tema della limitatezza delle risorse energetiche e dello sfruttamento dell'ambiente eccetera.
Quindi perché non chiedere consiglio a loro?
La verità è che il METI trasmetterà il messaggio sul cambiamento climatico il 4 ottobre in concomitanza con l'inizio di World Space Week, che quest'anno ha per tema “Spazio e Sostenibilità”. Oltre alla speranza di farlo sentire a qualcuno lassù, è un modo intelligente per attirare l'attenzione quaggiù e ricordare a tutti i terrestri che questa battaglia esiste.
(Purtroppo se gli alieni dovessero davvero leggerlo e rispondere, la loro comunicazione non arriverà prima di 78 anni).
Commento di Oliviero Mannucci: A parte il fatto che le civiltà più avanzate della nostra galassia sanno benissimo quanto i terrestri siano ecologicamente scriteriati, non è necessario che passino 78 anni per ricevere una risposta, come dice l'autore dell'articolo, in quanto potrebbe essere intercettato prima da qualche astronave di passaggio. Mi diverto a leggere questi articoli scritti da chi non sa proprio niente su questo argomento e di quale sia la posizione della Terra all'interno della Federazione Galattica che già adesso ci sta aiutando a risolvere i nostri innumerevoli problemi dandoci tantissimi consigli che però i governanti del nostro pianeta disattendono perchè applicarli significherebbe andare a ledere interessi miliardari delle varie lobby che in nome del profitto non gli interessa in alcun modo comportarsi in maniera corretta verso il nostro pianeta e gli esseri viventi che lo popolano.
Sfere luminose nel cielo: effetto “ufo” nel Cilento (IinfoCilento.it )
Sfere luminose nel cielo del Cilento, avvistamenti a Ceraso lo scorso weekend
Tre luci che volteggiano nel cielo sopra le nuvole nei pressi di Ceraso. Le segnalazioni risalgono alla notte tra sabato e domenica. Diverse persone che hanno alzato lo sguardo verso la volta celeste ed hanno osservato lo strano movimento di luci nel cielo per circa un’ora.
Sfere luminose nel cielo del Cilento: le segnalazioni
Un lungo zigzagare fotografato e filmato. Purtroppo la notevole distanza e l’oscurità hanno impedito di effettuare immagini che permettessero di capire di cosa si trattasse e non è mancato chi ha pensato si trattasse di un Ufo, visto che per ora non ci sono spiegazioni ufficiali in grado di chiarire il mistero.
Qualcuno, invece, ha spiegato che potrebbe trattarsi di luci partite da terra, simili a quelle utilizzate nelle discoteche, anche se chi ha visto il fenomeno smentisce tale possibilità, ritenendo, invece, che da terra non partisse alcun faro.

Il futuro è già qui: la NASA completa il primo “trasporto olografico” nello spazio ( Cellulari.it )
Altro che film di fantascienza. La NASA annuncia di aver completato il primo “trasporto olografico”, notizia che pone inevitabilmente importanti sviluppi per il futuro
La notizia è di quelle che lasciano senza parole, perché avvicinano e rendono addirittura sottile una linea di confine piuttosto marcata ed evidente come è quella che separa il presente dal futuro. Perché in fondo tutti noi immaginiamo già l’avvento di tecnologie sofisticate e rivoluzionarie nel prossimo decennio, ma sorprende pensare che questa forte matrice futuristica, magari attinta a piene mani dai film spaziali e dai videogiochi, abbia già in parte elementi di concretezza e di stretta attualità.
Cos’è accaduto più di preciso? È accaduto che la NASA ha completato con successo quello che in gergo prende il nome di “trasporto olografico” dalla Terra allo spazio, e si tratta del primo tentativo (peraltro riuscito). Questa tecnologia l’abbiamo vista finora soltanto nei film fantascientifici (qualcuno ha detto Star Trek?), perché consente di comunicare tramite ologrammi da remoto. Eppure, il trasporto olografico non sembra esser più roba da film.
La Nasa aveva già completato con successo il primo trasporto olografico lo scorso ottobre
A comunicare l’importante avvenimento è la stessa agenzia tramite i canali social – ricordiamo in questo senso l’altra significativa novità, e cioè il profilo TikTok ufficiale di Samantha Cristoforetti – che ha voluto render lumi su un esperimento risalente addirittura allo scorso ottobre ma portato alla luce soltanto in questi ultimi giorni. La NASA, in buona sostanza, è riuscita a completare il primo trasporto olografico all’interno della ISS, la Stazione Spaziale Internazionale, grazie all’utilizzo della fotocamera Hololens Konnect realizzata da Microsoft Corporation e gestita da un PC con software personalizzato ad-hoc dalla società attiva nel settore di realtà mista e virtuale AEXA.
Per il tramite di questi strumenti, la NASA è riuscita nell’intento di trasportare sulla ISS il chirurgo Dr. Josef Schmid e l’amministratore delegato di AEXA, Fernando De La Pena Llaca. Entrambi hanno avuto così modo di intrattenere una conversazione con gli astronauti a bordo della stazione.
Appare evidente che questo risultato proietta già la NASA a sviluppi considerevoli e interessanti per il futuro, perché potrebbe rivoluzionare le comunicazioni tra individui nello Spazio e individui sulla Terra.
Scientists warn that NASA may provoke aliens and cause an invasion ( TweakTown )
UK researchers have warned a team of NASA-led researchers about beaming out information about Earth's location into the cosmos.
A team of NASA-led researchers are planning on broadcasting sensitive information about Earth into the cosmos.
The team's project is called "Beacon in the Galaxy" (BITG) and involves operating the SETI Institute's Allen Telescope array in California and China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) to broadcast information about Earth's biology, location, images of humans, solar system pictures, and an invitation for aliens to respond to the message.
The project has been opposed by researchers from the United Kingdom's Oxford University who have warned that it may not be a good idea to send out sensitive information about Earth and the human race as an alien civilizations that may receive the information may not have the best intentions. FHI scientist at Oxford, Toby Ord said that there should be a public discussion before any signals are sent out, adding that there is even dangers involved in listening to incoming messages.
"These dangers are small but poorly understood and not yet well managed," said Ord. Adding, "Given the downside could be much bigger than the upside, this doesn't sound to me like a good situation in which to take active steps toward contact."

Comment by Oliviero Mannucci: But if, as scientists have always said, "we will never be able to meet extraterrestrials because the speed of light is unsurpassed" how would ETs get to us even knowing our position? Tell people clearly that this is possible, as ETs are able to warp space. Thanks!
Avvistamenti Ufo in Sardegna. Tre segnalazioni in tre giorni. "A pensarci mi vengono i brividi per quello che ho visto" ( sardegnalive.net )
“Dopo la crescita repentina delle segnalazioni di avvistamenti, che ha tenuto gli ufologi sardi impegnati per una parte del mese di marzo, sembrava che il fenomeno degli UFO si fosse ridimensionato o quasi scomparso. Invece ecco giungere inaspettatamente una nuova segnalazione, da una "zona calda" della Sardegna, quella il cui epicentro è San Sperate.
Ancora una volta i testimoni sono automobilisti che hanno transitato su quella rete di strade statali e provinciali”. Lo fa sapere il responsabile della sezione sarda del Centro Italiano Studi Ufologici, Antoniomaria Cuccu. Tre le segnalazioni in altrettanti giorni.
La prima dunque a San Sperate, avvenuta il 13 notte: “Un automobilista in transito sulla SP4 che collega San Sperate a Sestu, osservava assieme ad altri automobilisti, la presenza di un oggetto volante stazionante a bassa quota. Il testimone – ha spiegato Cuccu - ci ha descritto una struttura circolare illuminata da luci lampeggianti verdi rosse e bianche e dalla parte inferiore si allungava verso il suolo, un fascio di luce bianca. Un incontro ravvicinato che ha lasciato sbalorditi tutti gli automobilisti che, in quel momento, si trovavano nella zona. Il nostro appello viene rivolto a tutti quegli automobilisti che hanno osservato quell'oggetto volante - continua Cuccu - con il consiglio di rilasciarci la loro preziosa descrizione -. Meglio se con un video o foto”.
La seconda segnalazione è arrivata da Uri. “Rientrando dal lavoro ho visto questa luce intensa, arancione, che fluttuava nell'aria”, ha raccontato il testimone ad Antoniomaria Cuccu.
“Ieri sera (15 aprile) verso le 21:30 un automobilista stava rientrando dal lavoro e quando era vicino al paese di Uri, la sua attenzione si era rivolta verso una fonte luminosa arancione, che fluttua nell'aria, sul crinale di una collina distante un chilometro. Sceso dalla propria automobile, scattava un'unica foto, un attimo prima che scomparisse definitivamente. Abbiamo consultato la mappa celeste e a quell'ora, in quella direzione c'era Sirio, ma era situata più in alto - ci spiega Cuccu -. Quest'anno due avvistamenti nel Coros, il mese scorso una famiglia di Ossi, mentre stava transitando in automobile in una via del centro urbano, osservava un " oggetto volante sferico" quasi fermo a bassa quota.
La terza segnalazione è arrivata da Olbia. “Verso le 18:30 del 16 aprile, dalla spiaggia delle Saline, vicino Olbia, un gruppo di persone ha notato il passaggio di un oggetto volante biancastro nel cielo e ha suscitato in loro una certa curiosità, da riuscire scattare questa foto (vedi in basso) poco prima che scomparisse dalla vista”, racconta il responsabile del Centro Cisu Sardegna.

Get Lost! In Vernon County: UFO in Readstown ( Vernon County Times )
Hi. Vern here. What? Oh come on now, are you really THAT surprised? It was bound to happen and you knew it. Yes, I know what you are thinking…two enigmas in one place, at the same time, in one county?? Unheard of. But look! Here’s proof that we both exist. Pictures don’t lie and neither do I. Still don’t believe me? Geez humans, I don’t know how you get along in the world being so skeptical.
Sometimes you have to see it to believe it. Hey, I’m reminded of my existence every single morning when I wake up! But…if you really need to see it to believe it, you just have to find the corner of Hwy. 14 and Hwy. 61 in Readstown, which is located in the southern part of the county, real close to the Crawford County line. It’s also real close to where Reads Creek meets up with the Kickapoo River. Anyways, it wasn’t too long ago that this unidentified flying object came zipping into the Vernon County atmosphere and landed right here. Frank (that’s the little buff green alien’s name) said that one day he was looking for treasures on planet earth and the flying saucers navigation system (it’s very, very advanced) brought his UFO right in front of Crazy Franks! Out of all the places in the world, I find it pretty cool that the aliens knew what we already know…Readstown has more treasures than anywhere else on the planet!Are you still in disbelief? Well, maybe you ought to stop by Readstown one of these days. After visiting and having a little chat with Frank the alien, check out not just one Crazy Franks treasure store—but two of them! You heard that right, there’s another one over the bridge just behind the Cheapo Depot…yes, yet another treasure store. That makes three of them!
Whew, after all the treasure hunting, might as well take in a park or two, right? Tourist Park right along the Kickapoo has a disc golf course, baseball diamond, playground and more. Also right in the middle of town is Readstown’s Bliss Park. I think the name of the park says it all. Anyways, after all this treasure hunting and playing I bet you are hungry. I’m hungry just thinking about you being hungry. You are in luck because Readstown also has some great places for breakfast, lunch, supper or a snack, as well as a cold beverage or two.
Wow, what a fun day we’ve had together! So much fun that I bet you are all tuckered out, right? Well look no further than Readstown, they even have places to put your feet up and lay down your heads. By golly, I sure think that it’s a real treasure to have such a place like Readstown in Vernon County. On behalf of Frank and myself, we hope you find what you are looking for.
Un UFO nel savonese? Indaga l'associazione A.R.I.A ( informazione.it )
"Questo mio scatto,fatto con cellulare Samsung ,vicino alla
Bocchetta di Altare (Sv),verso le ore 10.30 del 25 c.m.,distanza di
circa 1.5 km dalla collina di fronte al mio punto di vista,ho notato un
"oggetto scuro"che si stagliava nel cielo,in centro foto" Così scriveva
C.R. savonese all'associazione ricerca italiana aliena fondata
dall'esperto ufologo Angelo Maggioni . L'associazione che ha preso in
carico la segnalazione ha provveduto ad eseguire una indagine e analisi
del caso ritenuto interessante. La zona indicata, spiega l'ufologo, non è
solitamente utilizzata per lanci con parapendio , questo controllo è
stato essenziale in quanto la forma del presunto oggetto ricorda quella
anche di un parapendio .La foto scattata con un Samsung non è di alta
qualità e dunque non consente una analisi perfetta dell'oggetto che
risulta , per la sua eccessiva distanza, fuori fuoco . L'analisi però
eseguita sullo scatto certifica la genuinità stessa , non sono emerse
manipolazioni digitali o inserimenti di livelli. L'oggetto , o presunto
tale, risulterebbe solido , curvo che ricorda un triangolo , molto scuro
, apparentemente a circa 1500 2500 metri di altezza dal suolo , la sua
grandezza potrebbe essere stimata in qualche decina di metri .la sua
presunta direzione sembra essere volta all'interno della provincia
savonese .Non abbiamo elementi utili sulla sua velocità o se l'oggetto
abbia in qualche modo eseguito manovre non convenzionali, attorno
all'oggetto si può osservare come un "alone" bianco che potrebbe essere
ricondotto a qualche forma di energia al plasma .Sappiamo, spiega
l'ufologo, che la provincia savonese è ricca di fenomeni inspiegabili ,
dei cosiddetti UFO/UAP , in particolare tra il Melogno, Madonna del
Monte e degli Angeli , negli anni sono stati segnalati diversi oggetti
non identificati di varia forma , da sferici luminosi a presunti
sigariformi . Del resto la Liguria è l'unica regione in Italia ad aver
tutte le componenti del fenomeno ufologico dagli incontri ravvicinati
del primo tipo ad arrivare al settimo, con il caso più famoso al mondo ,
il rapimento del metronotte di Genova Piero Zanfretta nel 1978 . Nel
1974 ci fu un evento che potrebbe essere indicato come uno dei primi ufo
crash in Italia!. Le indagini continuano per poter arrivare ad una
conclusione definitiva e per poter arrivare alla identificazione del
presunto oggetto, in tal senso l'associazione chiede a chiunque abbia
visto lo stesso oggetto , lo abbia fotografato o filmato di inviare il
materiale alla mail delle segnalazioni inforicercaaliena@gmail.com
Avvistati UFO in Ucraina?
L’ufologo italiano spiega di cosa si tratta In una nota
divulgativa emessa dall’associazione ricerca italiana aliena, fondata
dall’esperto ufologo Angelo Maggioni e che vede nel suo direttivo
esperti ex militari , gli ufologi cercano di chiarire quella che in
queste settimane è stata annunciata come una presenza massiccia di UFO
(in Ucraina, ndr), tra i quali vi sarebbero i famosi UFO che scortano
bombardieri o che controllano le centrali nucleari e i missili nucleari
Russi, da varie fonti ufologiche Italiane. Gli esperti di A.R.I.A
precisano nella nota che le indagini si concentrano su un territorio
attualmente in conflitto con l’esercito Russo e che dunque è teatro di
intensi scontri militari; sia l’esercito Ucraino che quello Russo
dispongono di armamenti militari tecnologicamente evoluti, o che per la
prima volta vengono messi in campo in forma massiccia. A prescindere se
agli Ucraini tale armamento venga venduto o fornito dall’Occidente e
dagli USA, entrambi gli eserciti utilizzano droni in battaglia. Questi
droni spesso sorvolano le città, stazionando e filmando obiettivi
sensibili o presunti tali; altri di questi droni sono imbottiti di
esplosivo pronti a colpire. Ma anche il lancio massiccio di razzi, ad
opera dei russi – prosegue la nota – fa sì che spesso lungo la
traiettoria vengano espulsi “pezzi” che proseguono la loro traiettoria
autonomamente fino a precipitare al suolo; questi pezzi a volte
compaiono prima di un impatto di un missile su un obiettivo, sfrecciando
ad alta velocità, e questo fa sì che alcuni membri dell’ufologia
italiana li scambi per UFO/UAP.
San Sperate: continuano gli avvistamenti UFO ( mediterranews )
Da tempo ormai seguiamo la vicenda, il Sud Sardegna sembra essere diventata una nuova zona finestra.
Sono tantissimi negli ultimi 60 giorni gli avvistamenti a Monastir: adesso è il turno di San Sperate. Pochissimi chilometri di distanza! C’è da dire che in questi due mesi tantissimi curiosi ed esperti hanno passato serate e giornate appostati in attesa del fenomeno proprio in quell’angolo di Sardegna a pochi chilometri da Cagliari.
San Sperate: l’avvistamento nel dettaglio
Sulla pagina dedicata al fenomeno in Sardegna (Sardegna Ufo News) si legge la narrazione della testimonianza. Ovviamente l’avvistamento è avvenuto di notte! L’avvistamento è avvenuto nella notte del 13 di aprile sulla SP4 che collega San Sperate a Sestu. Il testimone ha notato la presenza di un oggetto volante stazionante a bassa quota. Si legge nella pagina social “ struttura circolare illuminata da luci lampeggianti verdi rosse e bianche e dalla parte inferiore si allungava verso il suolo, un fascio di luce bianca”
Pasqua naso all’insù
Per chi si trova nel sud Sardegna potrebbe essere una Pasqua avvincente: naso all’insù dopo le 20 e, se possibile cellulare pronto allo scatto ed al video! Noi siamo pronti ad ascoltare le vostre testimonianze!
Chi ha incontrato gli UFO ha subito effetti fisici, rivela clamorosamente il governo USA ( Esquire )
Lo rivela un documento del Dipartimento della Difesa degli Stati Uniti recentemente reso pubblico.
Dal 2007 al 2012 l'Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) ha raccolto materiale relativo agli UFO per un programma segreto del Dipartimento della Difesa degli Stati Uniti. Sembra una sottotrama di X-Files, ma è tutto vero.
L'AATIP è diventato noto al grande pubblico solo nel 2017, quando l'ex direttore del programma Luis Elizondo si è dimesso dal Pentagono e ha rilasciato ai media diversi video di un aereo non identificato che si muoveva in modi apparentemente impossibili.
Ora quel database è stato reso pubblico attraverso una richiesta del Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) e secondo quanto riferito nelle più di 1.500 pagine di report gli incontri con gli UFO avrebbero lasciato sugli americani effetti di vario tipo: ustioni da radiazioni, danni al cervello e al sistema nervoso e persino gravidanze inspiegabili.
Uno dei rapporti è intitolato Anomalous Acute and Subacute Field Effects on Human and Biological Tissues, datato marzo 2010. Il rapporto descrive presunte lesioni a "osservatori umani da parte di sistemi aerospaziali avanzati e anomali", alcuni dei quali potrebbero essere una "minaccia agli interessi degli Stati Uniti".
Il rapporto include anche un elenco di presunti effetti biologici di avvistamenti su osservatori umani tra il 1873 e il 1994, compilato dal Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), un gruppo civile senza scopo di lucro che studia gli avvistamenti UFO. Gli effetti riportati degli incontri con gli UFO includono "rapimento apparente", paralisi ed esperienze di telepatia, teletrasporto e levitazione.
Come dicevamo? Una sottotrama di X-Files? Questo è molto meglio.

NASA will test SpinLaunch’s suborbital accelerator which flings satellites into orbit ( Yahoo! )
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission.
NASA has signed up to help test SpinLaunch’s suborbital accelerator. The massive device was designed to literally sling satellites and other small spacecraft into space at over five times the speed of sound. The NASA SpinLaunch test is set to take place later this year using a specialized kinetic launch system.
NASA SpinLaunch test could open new doors for accessing space
One of the most exciting things about NASA signing on to test SpinLaunch’s system is the number of possibilities that it unlocks for getting more satellites to space. Currently, getting new spacecraft up through the atmosphere is costly. Not only does it cost a lot to build the hardware for the spacecraft, but you also have to juggle fuel costs and the cost of launch stations.
If the NASA SpinLaunch test goes well, it could give the space agency a new way to get some of its spacecraft out of Earth’s atmosphere. Of course, we aren’t talking about manned spacecraft here. Because of the SpinLaunch accelerator’s unique design, it requires certain craft to properly use it. As such, fitting a manned spacecraft into the accelerator would be quite a journey.
You also have to take the number of G’s created into account, too. Launch vehicles are situated at the end of a large carbon-fiber arm. They are then spun at extreme speeds until ready to launch. These speeds can create up to 10,000 G’s during the wind-up. The human body is only able to withstand up to 9 G’s, and even then, only for a few seconds. So, putting an astronaut in those conditions is out of the question.
However, it could unlock new ways to send other payloads to space. If the NASA SpinLaunch test is successful, it could give the space agency new ways to deliver much-needed supplies to space. It could also open new doors to launching specialized spacecraft like the Parker Solar Probe.
How SpinLaunch works
As I noted above, SpinLaunch uses kinetic force to launch small vehicles into the air. Currently, the company has only developed a suborbital accelerator. That station is located in Spaceport America, New Mexico. However, it has plans to build a more powerful orbital accelerator in an undisclosed location in the future. The NASA SpinLaunch test will use the smaller accelerator.
But how does it work? Essentially, SpinLaunch works by attaching the launch vehicle to the end of a carbon-fiber arm housed in a 300-foot diameter steel vacuum chamber. The arm spins repeatedly until it reaches the velocities needed to launch the vehicle. It will utilize this same system during the NASA SpinLaunch test later this year.
Currently, SpinLaunch is only capable of launching vehicles weighing up to around 440 lbs, or 200kg. Even then, the spacecraft launched with the system needs to include ultra-ruggedized components that can withstand the 10,000 G conditions. That’s why the company is building a special vehicle for the NASA SpinLaunch test.
Because it doesn’t rely on first-stage rockets to get the vehicles in the air, SpinLaunch can cut out around 70 percent of the fuel and structures traditionally needed. That allows it to shoot loads into orbit while using a quarter of the fuel, and it costs almost 90 percent less than traditional launches.
