Surprisingly conserved, this specific artifact is - at first glance, inlaid in rock (which is understandable since the peninsula is home to numerous volcanoes). Subjected to analysis, the conjunct turned out to be made of metal parts that seem to form a mechanism, gears which may be of a type of watch or computer. The astonishing thing is that the pieces were dated to be 400 million years old!
"Nobody could believe that 400 million years ago could have existed on Earth even a man [much less a machine]. At that time, the forms of life were very simple, but the finding - clearly suggests the existence of intelligent beings capable of such technology. Certainly, such beings would have had to come from other planets. It is possible that a spaceship could have been damaged [or there was an accident] and it was abandoned in that place."
The 28-year countdown clock has started and it may be ticking away the seconds of life remaining to unsuspecting millions.
That's the worry some anguished scientists have as recent study of near-Earth objects has confirmed that asteroid 011 AG5 has a high possibility of striking Earth a deadly blow in 2040.
Calls for a "Situational Awareness system" have become more strident to the point where some Russian scientists have gone on record demanding an Earth defense network be established among space-capable nations immediately.
The Exopaedia intends to provide information on all matters extraterrestrial. It focuses on those new scientific disciplines - collectively called 'exosciences' - that deal with extraterrestrial matters.
An article in Foreign Policy Journal, a perfectly mainstream publication, mentioning Cold Fusion and putting on the table the politics of scientific research and their publications that are designed to relegate any different views that are not part of "their" science to the fringes ...
I commented:
"The article gives me hope. With the problem so clearly laid out in a mainstream publication, And Foreign Policy seems to fit that bill, maybe we have a chance to see a movement for change in this area of scientific publication. But more probably, what we will see is that the outside-the-mainstream online journals will gain respectability as the places where REAL scientific progress is happening.
Even science can no longer be centralized. With the movement towards a peer-to-peer decentralized society, science will have to follow that same model.
What today is called “the mainstream” will lose relevance in proportion to real energy alternatives being actually developed at the fringes.
When the stuff that works comes from the fringes of science, things are ripe for a change!"
Swiss scientists plan to launch a shoebox-sized satellite with jellyfish-like tentacles to sweep up space junk as early as 2016.
The $11 million satellite, called CleanSpace One, would chase dow...
... chase down space junk and drag it out of orbit, burning up during atmospheric re-entry in the process.
Once it has caught up with its quarry, CleanSpace One will deploy grippers inspired by jellyfish or sea anemones to embrace the spinning target. Then it will power its engines to steer itself on a suicide dive into Earth’s atmosphere.
International space law may keep the scheme from being widely useful, though. Legal issues about who owns space junk makes it difficult for one nation’s space agency to clean up another nation’s trash, so for now, CleanSpace One’s only available targets are also Swiss.
(PhysOrg.com) -- During the past few years, CERN physicist Dragan Hajdukovic has been investigating what he thinks may be a widely overlooked part of the cosmos: the quantum vacuum.
He suggests that the quantum vacuum has a gravitational charge stemming from the gravitational repulsion of virtual particles and antiparticles. Previously, he has theoretically shown that this repulsive gravity can explain several observations, including effects usually attributed to dark matter. Additionally, this additional gravity suggests that we live in a cyclic Universe (with no Big Bang) and may provide insight into the nature of black holes and an estimate of the neutrino mass. In his most recent paper, published in Astrophysics and Space Science, he shows that the quantum vacuum could explain one more observation: the Universe’s accelerating expansion, without the need for dark energy.
Demonstrating the ability to successfully conduct an unmanned lunar landing is a key milestone that must be achieved before China can land astronauts on the Moon, perhaps within the next decade.
Michael Tellinger and Klaus Dona visit the giant footprint in South Africa on the 17th Jan 2012. They talk about the mystery of this footprint in rough granite and debunk those who believe that it is a fake carved footprint by pranksters.
This amazing human-like footprint remains one of the least known of the many great mysteries on Earth. The being that left this footprint would have been about 7,5 metres tall - this supports the findings of giant skeletons of about 7,5m that Klaus Dona made in Ecuador.

It appears that the history of life on this planet goes back much further than is commonly acknowledged. This footprint preserved in what, over a long time, became granite rock, is only one of those archaeological finds that do not neatly fit into our story of the development of humanity...
An article published in the Solar System Research magazine reported Several objects resembling living beings were detected on photos made by a Russian landing probe in 1982 during a Venus mission.
The photos feature several objects, which Ksanfomaliti said, resembled “a disk,” “a black flap” and “a scorpion.” All of them “emerge, fluctuate and disappear,” the scientist said, referring to their changing location on different photos and traces on the ground.
"What if we forget about the current theories about the nonexistence of life on Venus, let’s boldly suggest that the objects’ morphological features would allow us to say that they are living,” Solar System Research quoted Ksanfomaliti as saying.
The Law of Octaves was first suggested by Pythagoras in ancient Greece. Having observed that the eight notes of the conventional Occidental musical scale were governed by definite mathematical relationships, Pythagoras proceeded to create a whole cosmology based on 8s. In this octagonal model Pythagoras made numerous mistakes, because he was generalizing from insufficient data. However, his work was the first attempt in history to unify science, mathematics, art and mysticism into one comprehensible system and as such is still influential. Leary, Crowley and Buckminster Fuller have all described themselves as modern Pythagoreans.
Is a giant, cloaked spaceship orbiting around Mercury? That's been the speculation from some corners after a camera on board NASA's STEREO spacecraft caught a wave of electronically charged material shooting out from the sun and hitting Mercury.
Scientists in the New York Center for Astrobiology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have used the oldest minerals on Earth to reconstruct the atmospheric conditions present on Earth very soon after its birth.
The scientists show that the atmosphere of Earth just 500 million years after its creation was not a methane-filled wasteland as previously proposed, but instead was much closer to the conditions of our current atmosphere. The findings, in a paper titled "The oxidation state of Hadean magmas and implications for early Earth's atmosphere," have implications for our understanding of how and when life began on this planet and could begin elsewhere in the universe.
For decades, scientists believed that the atmosphere of early Earth was highly reduced, meaning that oxygen was greatly limited. Such oxygen-poor conditions would have resulted in an atmosphere filled with noxious methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia. To date, there remain widely held theories and studies of how life on Earth may have been built out of this deadly atmosphere cocktail.
Now, scientists at Rensselaer are turning these atmospheric assumptions on their heads with findings that prove the conditions on early Earth were simply not conducive to the formation of this type of atmosphere, but rather to an atmosphere dominated by the more oxygen-rich compounds found within our current atmosphere — including water, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide.

During his recent presentation at the IUFOC, Retired Chilean Air Force General Ricardo Bermúdez revealed a number of highly interesting UFO cases.
General Bermúdez spoke at the Congress on Saturday Feb. 25, revealing a number of highly interesting cases involving commercial and military pilots, as well as an extraordinary daytime multiple video case showing a clear metallic-looking object during an important Chilean Air Force ceremony in 2010. The message throughout his lecture was unmistakably clear: some UFOs are real and may pose a threat to air safety operations, that’s why they should be investigated officially not only in Chile but throughout the world.
An unidentified metal sphere has plunged from the sky on unsuspecting villagers in northern Brazil, causing an uproar. According to eyewitnesses, the UFO weighs about 50 kilograms and measures roug...
For the first time, "buckyballs" have been discovered in the cosmos in a solid form.
Until now, the only evidence in space for the bizarre little hollow balls of carbon atoms have been in interstellar gases, but with the help of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered buckyballs accumulating and stacking atop one another to form solid particles.
An interesting pictorial presentation of a book by
Kim Carlsberg; who is a photographer by trade, artist, author and UFO abductee, graduate of The Art Center College Of Design in Pasadena, California. She was the first woman accepted into the Hollywood camera union for her many years as the exclusive photographer for the television series “BayWatch”.
Kim’s first book, “Beyond My Wildest Dreams, Diary of a UFO Abductee” was a created from 8 years of continuous contact with non-human entities.
Her new book, “The Art Of Close Encounters”, is described as "a hard bound, fine-art coffee table book, consisting of 150 beautifully illustrated stories of individual contact."
Chinese scientists have assembled the highest resolution map ever created of the entire Moon and unveiled a series of global Moon images on Monday, Feb. 6.
The composite Lunar maps were created from over 700 individual images captured by China’s Chang’e-2 spacecraft and released by the country’s State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence (SASTIND), according to reports from the state run Xinhua and CCTV new agencies.
“The map and images are the highest-resolution photos of the entirety of the Moon’s surface to be published thus far,” said Liu Dongkui, deputy chief commander of China’s lunar probe project, reports Xinhua.

The United States Air Force's secretive X-37B space plane has been circling Earth for more than 10 months, and there's no telling when it might come down.
The Air Force doesn’t disclose the X-37B's orbital parameters, but amateur observers have tracked the movements of both OTV-1 and OTV-2. They've found that OTV-2 is not looping around Earth in a polar orbit, which enables a good look at every spot on the globe.
Rather, the spacecraft is flying repeatedly over the stretch of Earth from 43 degrees north latitude to 43 degrees south latitude. Weeden thinks the space plane may be observing the Middle East and Afghanistan with some brand-new spy gear, perhaps instruments optimized to observe in wavelengths beyond the visible-light spectrum.
The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.
The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.
Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.

"Early Venus Had Oceans, May Have Been Habitable"
Venus, not Mars, may have been the most likely planet in the solar system to have also developed life, scientists say.
The cloud-shrouded planet most likely started with oceans much like Earth's, which evaporated as Venus heated up, according to new research.The oceans didn't disappear overnight, said David Grinspoon of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
Speaking yesterday at a meeting of planetary scientists in Orlando, Florida, Grinspoon said that preliminary results of new computer models indicate Venus may have retained its oceans for a billion years after it formed, possibly longer.

If nothing else, planet Venus has plant life. You will see it in the later part of the video clip.
As powerful space telescopes seek out Earth-like planets, and SETI radio telescopes listen for transmissions from aliens, physical evidence for intelligent extraterrestrials might be right in our backyard.
I'm not talking about flying saucers or oddball ancient artifacts attributed to visits by so-called "space gods," however. Instead, I'm looking for something as mundane as the pieces of interstellar probes that could have visited our solar system on numerous occasions over geologic time.
ANALYSIS: Are Alien Artifacts in Our Solar System?
If technological extraterrestrial civilizations are common in our galaxy, then they should have the wherewithal and curiosity to send robotic probes to other star systems. We already have five star-bound spacecraft destined to roam the galaxy forever: two Pioneer probes, a pair of Voyagers, and the New Horizons craft now speeding toward Pluto.
A team of anthropologists found a mysterious burial in the jungle near the city of Kigali Rwanda (Central Africa). The remains belong to gigantic creatures that bear little resemblance to humans. Head of research group believes...
According to the scientists, they were buried at least 500 years ago. At first, researchers thought that they came across the remains of ancient settlements, but no signs of human life have been found nearby.
The 40 communal graves had approximately 200 bodies in them, all perfectly preserved. The creatures were tall - approximately 7 feet. Their heads were disproportionately large and they had no mouth, nose or eyes.
The anthropologists believe that the creatures were members of an alien landing, possibly destroyed by some terrestrial virus to which they had no immunity. However, no traces of the landing of the spacecraft or its fragments were discovered.
