A breakthrough in space warp-based propulsion appears to have been made by a physicist in Omaha and his team–using a DIY-made apparatus built in his garage.

University of Nebraska at Omaha professor David Pares has built, and apparently demonstrated, a device that appears to compress the very fabric of space-time, of which is considered the holy grail of sci-fi faster-than-light propulsion methods, such as Star Trek’s warp drive. Using observations made by pilot Bruce Gernon’s encounter with an unexplained meteorological phenomenon in the Bermuda Triangle in 1970, Pares set out to replicate the conditions of the odd storm, including an apparent propulsive effect on the aircraft, albeit at a smaller scale that could be replicated in a laboratory.

NASA has just announced the discovery of an earth-like planet orbiting a star similar to our sun, and within the star’s habitable zone. The planet has been designated Kepler-452b, and is the first such planet ever discovered. So far, nearly 4000 planets have been discovered in so-called ‘goldilocks zones’ around distant stars–regions where they are neither too hot nor too cold to sustain life. But all of these planets have been determined to be either very small, very large, or gas giants. Kepler-452b is a "bigger cousin of Earth." It has a 385 day orbit and is 5% farther from its star than Earth is from the sun. Its parent star is Kepler-452. It also has gravity twice that of Earth’s.

Another horrific half-cat mutilation cycle has begun. As before, not a trace of any perpetrator can be found, despite the large number of felines affected. Then, in the second half of the show, a mysterious boom throws a woman across a beach and injures her.

Cat mutilations are generally dismissed as predator action, but officials never bother to explain the neat incisions, the lack of blood and, above all, the fact that no perpetrator, animal or human, has ever even been seen, let alone caught.

What is it like to be an experiencer at a conference where the experts on stage are talking about your situation? A situation they’ve likely not been in? And what is it that the nuts-and-bolts alien proponents have been overlooking when interpreting these experiences? We get into that and more in this cutting room floor extension of the "Medusa Snake Girl" interview from the sixth episode, A Lesson In Hierarchy.
