If Warp Drive is Possible, Visitors are Here

Scientists ignore the evidence of visitors to our planet on the assumption that the distances between stars are so great they they could never get here, but new research suggests that something like a 'warp drive' may be possible. If so, then the argument is over. The overwhelming evidence of credible UFO sightings and witness testimony must be taken as serious evidence of an alien presence. In 1994 physicist Miguel Alcubierre published a paper entitled "the Warp Drive: hyper-fast travel within general relativity." The paper proposed that a space ship would not accelerate beyond the speed of light, but would contract space in front of it and expand it behind, instantaneously altering the ship's position without exceeding light speed, and now a team at NASA have set out to perform a real-world test of the proposal.

According to Alcubierre's theory, it would be possible to create one of these 'warp bubbles' in a vacuum, which is a testable theory, and NASA scientist Harold White and his team are testing it now. Will they succeed? The instruments involved are so delicate that they are in the process of moving the experiment into a 'seismically controlled' environment at NASA's space center in Houston, so that they can reach the level of precision necessary, since the slightest movement of the earth throws the experiment off.

If they succeed, though, we might not know about it immediatly. This is because some parts of the project involve novel inventions, observers need to sign a non-disclosure agreement before being told exactly where the project is at this time, and how its systems work. There are discussions with outside contractors about it, though, and if there are signs that it may be viable, NASA will continue development.

Would it eventually be classified? Unfortunately, because it involves a novel means of propulsion, that's not impossible, but at this time the project is not secret.

Tornado Devastation Strikes Midwest

Unknowncountry.com's Climate Watch page was one of the very few places that predicted and explained the violent weather that is now taking place in the US midwest. The problems started last January, when the polar vortex migrated south unusually early, insuring that the northern hemisphere would have a very cold and stormy winter, which proved to be the case. Because so much cold air has remained over the Midwest at a time when a seasonal flow of warm, humid air is beginning to emerge out of the Gulf of Mexico, some very strong tornadoes have developed, including one that tragically devastated parts of Oklahoma city and killed 24 people, nine of them children trapped in an elementary school.

As long as current conditions prevail, it is likely that more such dangerous storm systems will develop across the midwest and southeast, and into the Atlantic seaboard states as well.

Rising Volcanic Activity Along Western Pacific Rim

Two volcanoes in Alaska and Popocatepetl in Mexico are either erupting or showing signs of activity. As sea levels continue to rise, putting pressure on continental shelves, predictions are that volcanic activity will also increase, as well as seismic activity. Whether or not earthquakes will follow the eruptions of these volcanoes is not known, but officials are concerned that plumes from the Alaskan volcanoes could endanger air travel from the US to Asia, and Mexican vulcanologists are watching Popo carefully, in expectation of a more significant and potentially dangerous level of activity.

The Pavlof and Cleveland volcanoes in Alaska are both in the Aleutian Islands, at the northern end of the Juan De Fuca plate, which is considered the least stable of the plates in the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Volcanoes can trigger earthquakes, but most take place when there is no volcanic activity in the quake region. However, it is thought that volcanic tremors can destabilize sensitive plates.

Metallic Orbs Found in Hidden Chamber under Mexican Pyramid

Remote-controlled robots are exploring previously unknown rooms beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent at Teotihuacan The probes have uncovered hundreds of metallic yellow orbs between 4 and 12 centimeters across.

According to a release from Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History, the spheres appear to have originally covered in pyrite, a yellow-colored mineral popularly known as 'Fools Gold," which oxidized over thousands of years to become an amber mineral crust called jarosite.

The purpose of the orbs is unknown, but their exact locations are being mapped, and it will soon be possible to compare their positions to maps of the sky from the distant past, and if there is a match to perhaps determine a date that was meaningful to the pyramid builders. This might help archaeologists to understand more of the mysteries of Teotihuacan, which was suddenly abandoned in 700AD after at least 2,000 years of occupation. There is evidence of extensive fires in the site at the time of abandonment.

The tunnel where the orbs were found was sealed off around 1,800 years ago, and rediscovered in 2003. Mexico's National Institute of Archaeology spearheaded the exploration and announced the results in a press release. To read the Spanish version, click here.

Four X-Flares Explode from Sun

wstrieber — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:42:29 +0000

Over the past 48 hours, the sun has exploded with no fewer than four x-class flares. X flares are the most powerful type of flare. Sunspot AR1748 has produced the flares. The latest X-flare from the sunspot occured on May 15th at 0152 UT. For four x-flares to take place over such a short period of time is highly unusual, and NASA is estimating that the sunspot has a 50% chance of generating more x-flares, and an 80% chance of generating smaller m-class flares. These flares are generating high levels of solar radiation, but so far, purely by chance, have not been directed at Earth.

As Whitley Strieber points out in his e-book Solar Flares: What You Need to Know, studies have shown that the power grids of many countries, including the US, could be severely disrupted by solar storms. At present, there is an effort in congress to legislate safety standards that would protect our power grid, but there is little congressional interest. If a storm on the scale of one of the ones now being generated were to strike Earth, there would be little damage. However, if one storm stripped away our magnetic field and was then followed shortly thereafter by another, catastrophic disruptions could take place. This is because, as time passes and our world becomes more and more electronically powered, it is becoming more vulnerable to smaller and smaller solar flares.

For example, a powerful flare that struck Earth in 1921 caused little damage. If such a flare hit today, it would result in a catastrophe. Similarly, should a flare the strength of the 1859 Carrington Event take place now, most large power transformers would be destroyed, and the United States would be left without power for a decade, during which time studies show that the population would contract by more than half.
