Some people are saying NASA is starting to bend on the question of UFOs. The head of NASA seems to be admitting he doesn’t know what some of these objects are. Yes, I know this is a far cry from saying they are extraterrestrial, but we have to start somewhere. It is better than saying we are looking at swamp gas as was said in the past. I have seen some alerts which state Trump is not only going to release much of the UFO data, but they even know the date he will do it. I doubt the knowing the date business, but I do believe we will get a lot more UFO transparency. Trump has said this in the past if he was elected president.
One of the things which annoys me is the posting of phony archaeological photos showing all sorts of Photoshopped pictures and are accompanied by a long dissertation about how the photos show alien statues, huge skeletons and other such things. I for one believe this is a disservice to those of us who are interested in real finds, because when something really strange is found, it will lose its credibility because many people might think it is just another hoax. I think the internet is great and so are the streaming services much of the time, but there is no denying the fact it certainly has its dark side.
I think by now many people have seen the notice which is said to be from the FBI which states android and Iphone users should not send text messages anymore. The claim is the text messages could be intercepted by foreign hackers. It is said the Chinese government can now see all text messages. Supposedly, 270,000 text messages are sent every second. It is just so hard to imagine these numbers. Text messages are one of the main reasons people have a cell phone, and because of this I don’t see the number of texts dropping very much, if at all. There was no mention of emails or voice calls but I bet they could be intercepted too. If hackers want a real challenge, why don’t they try and intercept messages between UFOs. If they could do that, maybe they could change our world. I think the most important thing to remember here is not to put any useful info in text messages or emails and maybe not speak about bank account numbers and such on the phone. If it is that important to you, then go down to your banking institution and speak in person.
A man in England was driving his car and just minding his own business when a bolt of lightning struck his car. He claims he just saw a bright flash. As the lightning covered the car he heard a strange noise. He claimed the lightning looked like a UFO. When the weather was checked in the area he was hit, strangely there were no lightning bolts detected. If it wasn’t a natural bolt of lightning, what was it that hit his car?
The age-old question has been asked again, which is can dogs see ghosts. I can say from experience; it seems like they can detect something when they are staring at an empty space in a room and barking their heads off. It is hard to say for sure what is going on. One of the things we have to remember is the fact they can smell things from long distances and maybe they are smelling another animal outside. Another factor is dogs have much better hearing than we do. Having said that, when one of my grandchildren was very young, we saw him staring at the ceiling and asked him what he was looking at and he said uncle Jack. Uncle Jack had been dead for years and it was a wonder how he would even know about him.
Not every body in the universe is traveling at the same speed. I discovered an article on a science site that asks the question, could fast traveling stars have been turned into spaceships by advanced extraterrestrials? It isn’t only stars this is being suggested about but an entire star system. Personally, I believe this is just too much of a reach. If this ever turned out to be true, I am sure it would be one of the most shocking discoveries in history. While I don’t see this for space travel as such, it would be a very handy thing to be able to do to avoid danger such as escaping a powerful gamma ray explosion or some other danger. It could even be handy for moving a planet to escape an exploding sun.
Some contractors are not happy with NASA. The problem is NASA keeps rethinking the designs for space stations. It looks like they would rather replace the ISS with something not in low orbit. One contractor said NASA should retain a human presence in space. I believe they will, but there could be several advantages for a space station at a higher altitude. Another thing which should be considered is some sort of artificial gravity. It is almost a necessity if we want our astronauts to be able to devote all their time to science. Currently astronauts must exercise at least two hours every day and it is still not as good as having gravity.
Gravitational Lensing has been allowing us to see further in space. It is caused by light being bent by a powerful source. Recently, two galaxies were discovered which were aligned in such a way they act as a compound lens. My hope is that some day we will find a gravitational lens so powerful it will let us see beyond the edge of what is now our limit.
A site in Cornwall, in England, is known as King Arthur’s Hall. A team of archaeologists have found the site is not what they thought. It turns out it is 4000 years older than first thought. When it got its name, it was believed to be a medieval site, but now it is believed to be Neolithic. I guess this site will have nothing to do with the legend of King Arthur.
A piece of amber was found. This might not excite anyone, but maybe the fact it was 90 million years old, discovered in Antarctica and contained the remains of an ancient forest might change your mind. It just proves once again Antarctica was once a warm forested place, but it was really a long time ago.
