SpaceX to launch Top-Secret “Zuma” Satellite this Friday - What are they monitoring in Space?

As we have reported, from December 22 to December 26, 2017 four superpower Nations; US (SpaceX), Russia, Japan and China have carried out rocket/missile launches, all carrying satellites and on January 1, 2018 the NASA HD camera on board the International Space Station recorded a cigar-shaped object at the moment it is leaving the atmosphere.

Yet another SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to launch these week!

The liftoff which was originally planned for mid-November is now scheduled for January 5, 2018 between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. EDT Friday (Jan. 5; 0100 to 0300 GMT Jan. 6) from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, according to Space.com.

The payload which sits atop the Falcon 9 rocket is a top-secret government satellite named Zuma and built by defense contractor Northrop Grumman.

The Zuma mission only became public in October, when NASA…

“Something” Is Being Monitored In Space!

Something strange is going on, especially if we know that within 5 days, from December 22 to December 26, 2017 four superpower Nations; US, Russia, Japan and China have carried out rocket/missile launches, all carrying satellites.


December 22, 2017: US (SpaceX) – Payload: 10 Satellites.
December 22, 2017: Japan – Payload: 2 Satellites.
December 26, 2017: Russia – Payload: 1 Satellite.
December 26, 2017: China – Payload: Unknown number of Satellites.

Note: For unknown reason Russia has lost contact with its satellite after the launch on December 26.

These launches at almost the same time are no coincidence and although it said that all these satellites are communication and weather satellites, we may wonder whether that is actually the case or that the real purpose of the payload is meant to monitor “Something” in space.

Incredible Sky Spectacle Over California Seen By Many People

Yesterday many people in California witnessed a bright object in the sky with a very bright wide beam of light shining back from the path of the object as seen by a resident of Lake Havasu City, Arizona. (89010).

People wonder whether it was a missile launch off along the OC Coast, California on December 22, 2017 or could it have been something else?


Here are some witness reports that have been submitted to the Mutual UFO Network.

Los Angeles, CA: Riding in car and noticed an object leaving contrails. Suddenly contrails widened and then a spiraling object shot out a white circular light. There were 2 bright lights in sky and one object aimed a bright light at the other bright object. Contrail became a huge white cloud formed and remained visible for a long time and didn't move for a while. (89013).

Diamond BA, CA : Wife called me outside, I saw the tail end of bright white-lighted object moving quickly in a southern direction leaving a clouded trail that seemed to glow white. Sun …

Giant 3-Mile-Wide Asteroid 3200-Phaethon to Shave Earth’s Orbit before Christmas

A mysterious 3-mile-wide asteroid is going to buzz our planet before Christmas.

Although NASA has classified it has a ‘potentially hazardous asteroid’ and Russian astronomers have warned that the object will fly past ‘quite close there is no chance it will hit us as it will pass 6.4 million miles from Earth on December 17, 2017.


The huge asteroid 3200 Phaethon is named after the Greek demi-god who according to the legend, borrowed the sun chariot from his father the God Helios, however, Phaethon was unable to control the horses and nearly set the Earth on fire due to the misdriving of the sun’s chariot before being killed by Zeus who was forced to kill Phaethon with a thunderbolt to avoid a disaster.

The asteroid 3200 Phaethon is the long-sought parent body of the Geminids meteor shower. The meteor shower which can be seen from December 4-16, 2017 reaching its peak around December 13 while asteroid 3200 Phaethon will also be bright enough to see in small telescopes.

Phaethon which mea…

Astronomical event called “The Star of Bethlehem” graces the predawn sky on November 13, 2017

Get ready for the most exciting sky event of 2017! A truly fascinating event occurs on November 13th. "The Star of Bethlehem" graces the predawn sky.


They are the brightest celestial objects after the Sun and Moon. Venus and Jupiter are going to converge for a close jaw-dropping encounter. Astronomers refer to a close celestial pair-up like this as a conjunction.

What Was The Star of Bethlehem? Many Christians see the star as a miraculous sign to mark the birth of the Christ (or messiah). Some theologians claimed that the star fulfilled a prophecy, known as the Star Prophecy.

Astronomers have made several attempts to link the star to unusual astronomical events, such as a conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, a comet or a supernova.

The truth is, we don't know the answer, and in fact, no one else does either, in spite of what you might hear. If there was a clear-cut answer to this question, everyone would already know the answer and wouldn't have to ask.

Some scholars s…

Return of the ‘Unusual Comet’ 96P spotted by ESA, NASA Satellites

The ESA and NASA mission SOHO got a visit from an old friend this week when the highly unusual comet 96P entered its field of view on Oct. 25, 2017.


The comet entered the lower right corner of SOHO’s view, and skirted up and around the right edge before leaving on Oct. 30. SOHO also spotted comet 96P in 1996, 2002, 2007 and 2012, making it the spacecraft’s most frequent cometary visitor.

At the same time, comet 96P passed through a second NASA mission’s view: STEREO that also watched the comet between October 26 and 28 from the opposite side of Earth’s orbit.

It is extremely rare for comets to be seen simultaneously from two different locations in space, and these are the most comprehensive parallel observations of comet 96P yet.

Comet 96P — also known as comet Machholz, for amateur astronomer Dan Machholz’s 1986 discovery of the comet - completes an orbit around the Sun every 5.24 years. It makes its closest approach to the Sun at a toasty 11 million miles - a very close distance for…

Nearby 'Death Star' Dubbed Kronos has Devoured 15 Earth-like Planets

In mythology, the Titan Kronos devoured his children, including Poseidon (better known as the planet Neptune), Hades (Pluto) and three daughters.

Astronomers discovered twin stars, one of which showed signs of having ingested a dozen or more rocky planets, they named them after Kronos and the companion star is named Krios, after Kronos’ brother. Their official designations are HD 240430 and HD 240429, and they are both about 350 light years from Earth.


Both Kronos and Krios are sun-like stars - yellow G-type - and are about 4 billion years old, orbiting each other about every 10,000 years. They have different chemical compositions - not an unknown phenomenon in binary star systems - but the scale of that difference is unusual, and seems even more bizarre when put in the context of the sun.

“Even if our sun ate the entire inner solar system, it wouldn’t come close to the anomaly we see in this star,” David Hogg, the group leader for astronomical data at the Center for Computational As…

Asteroid 2012 TC4 hurtling towards Earth and NASA is ‘Excited’!

Asteroid 2012 TC4 is heading towards Earth, with NASA claiming it gives their scientists a chance to test its space threat-scanning ability.


The asteroid has been out of range of telescopes since 2012. But on July 27, 31, and then again on Aug. 5, the approaching asteroid 2012 TC4 was observed again by Olivier Hainaut, Detlef Koschny and Marco Micheli of the European Space Agency using one of the European Southern Observatory's 8.2-meter telescopes at its Very Large Telescope Observatory.

The scientists said they are “excited” by the asteroid, which could be as large as 130 feet in size and is expected to fly past Earth on October 12 and even though scientists cannot yet predict exactly how close it will approach, they are certain it will come no closer than 4,200 miles (6,800 kilometers) from the surface of Earth while NASA said it is "absolutely certain" the rock will miss the planet.

This asteroid was first spotted in 2012 and it was this asteroid that worried people …

Distant galaxy sends out 15 high-energy radio bursts are possible powerful laser bursts used by Aliens

Breakthrough Listen, an initiative to find signs of intelligent life in the universe, has detected 15 brief but powerful radio pulses emanating from a mysterious and repeating largely unknown source ‘FRB 121102’ a dwarf galaxy about 3 billion light years from Earth.


Possible explanations for the repeating bursts range from outbursts from rotating neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields, so-called magnetars.

To a more speculative idea: They are directed energy sources, powerful laser bursts used by extraterrestrial civilizations to power spacecraft, using powerful laser pulses to propel nano-spacecraft to Earth's nearest star, Proxima Centauri.

The streaks across the colored energy plot are the bursts appearing at different times and different energies because of dispersion caused by 3 billion years of travel through intergalactic space. Credit: University of California.
Whether or not the fast radio bursts turn out to be signatures of extraterrestrial technology, burs…

Scientists have found proof that our Sun has a twin called Nemesis!

Did our sun have a twin when it was born 4.5 billion years ago? Almost certainly yes!

Now, for the first time, scientists have found proof that our sun has a twin called Nemesis and it may exist somewhere in the universe after revealing that all stars are born in pairs.


Image: This infrared image from the Hubble Space Telescope contains a bright, fan-shaped object (lower right quadrant) thought to be a binary star that emits light pulses as the two stars interact. (Image: NASA, ESA and J. Muzerolle, STScI). Credit: newsberkley.edu.

And so did every other sun-like star in the universe, according to a new analysis by a theoretical physicist from UC Berkeley and a radio astronomer from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory at Harvard University.

It is said that Nemesis is the cause for hurling objects from the outer solar system towards Earth and ‘Nemesis’ was supposed to have kicked an asteroid into Earth’s orbit that collided with our planet and exterminated the dinosaurs. Note: Is…

Huge star vanished without a trace - Mystery of the disappearing star

The star N6946-BH1 quietly winked out of existence between 2009 and 2015. Mystery of the disappearing star: Scientists have no idea how it vanished without a supernova.


The star N6946-BH1 in a spiral formation 22 million light years away known as the 'fireworks galaxy', was last seen by NASA's Hubble Telescope in 2009. By 2015, it wasn't there anymore.

How did a star 25 times the size of our Sun simply wink out of existence?

Such large stars often go out with a bang – a supernova – blasting off much of their remaining mass before collapsing to form an incredibly dense black hole.

NASA's Space Telescope Catches Gamma-ray Flashes from Tropical Storms

About a thousand times a day, thunderstorms fire off fleeting bursts of some of the highest-energy light naturally found on Earth.


These events, called terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs), last less than a millisecond and produce gamma rays with tens of millions of times the energy of visible light.

Since its launch in 2008, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has recorded more than 4,000 TGFs, which scientists are studying to better understand how the phenomenon relates to lightning activity, storm strength and the life cycle of storms.

Strange 1.3 kilometers Wide Asteroid Caught on Radar as It Zooms by Earth

A strange asteroid 1.3 kilometers (3,280 feet) across streaked past Earth on Wednesday, giving astronomers a rare chance to check out a big space rock up close. XX

Dubbed 2014-JO25, the asteroid came nearest at 12.20 GMT and is now hurtling away from the centre of our solar system, said Ian Carnelli, an astronomer from the European Space Agency (ESA).


The Arecibo observatory in Puerto Rico—which has one of the world's biggest radio telescopes—captured the 2014 JO25's first images, showing a “dragon-shaped” object that is likely "two large asteroids that fused together".

You may not see them, but space rocks whizz above our heads all the time. But large asteroids passing this close to Earth remain a rarity.

The next one will pass by in 2027, a 800-metre long object that will come within one Earth-to-the-Moon distance.

The last time 2014-JO25 was in our vicinity was 400 years ago, and its next close encounter with Earth won't happen until sometime after 2600.

Do Impacts Really Cause Mass Extinctions?

For decades, many scientists have believed that asteroid bombardments, such as that which is thought to have killed the dinosaurs, occur on our planet at regular intervals of about every 26 million years. 


A popular theory was that a dim companion star called Nemesis would approach our Sun at 26 million year intervals, inevitably causing mass extinctions on Earth.

However, a new scientific study confirms that such bombardments, if they do occur, are random.

But a more fundamental question is, are impacts from space really the cause of extinction level events on our planet?

Strange ‘Space Debris’ shows up on 2 Sun Spacecraft

A possible cluster of space debris was picked up by two Sun monitoring spacecraft on March 19, 2017 about 10 hours apart.


These instruments orbit the sun with the earth, constantly surveying the solar disc.

There was also a NEO (asteroid) that passed between the Earth and Moon at a distance of 0.3LD, which is very close to the planet, maybe a part of the debris field observed by these spacecraft?

It’s difficult to conclude with absolute certainty as we only have one image every 12-15 minutes to review...however, these anomalies did show up on both of the instrument's data feeds.

Planet-sized transmitters powering interstellar alien spacecraft in distant galaxies, scientists say!

Mysterious flashes in space could be alien spacecraft at work, Harvard scientists say.

A newly published research suggests that mysterious phenomena called fast radio bursts could be evidence of advanced alien technology. Specifically, these bursts might be leakage from planet-sized transmitters powering interstellar probes in distant galaxies!


"Fast radio bursts are exceedingly bright given their short duration and origin at great distances, and we haven't identified a possible natural source with any confidence," said theorist Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "An artificial origin is worth contemplating and checking."

As the name implies, fast radio bursts are millisecond-long flashes of radio emission. First discovered in 2007, fewer than two dozen have been detected by gigantic radio telescopes like the Parkes Observatory in Australia or the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. They are inferred to originate from distant galaxies,…

Strange “Aurora Sounds” that sound like Star Wars blasters recorded in Sweden

For centuries, Arctic sky watchers have occasionally reported strange sounds filling the air as Northern Lights danced overhead. Hisses, crackles, and even loud "claps" have been heard and recorded. It may be time to add a new sound to the menagerie: blaster fire.


Photographer Oliver Wright who was inside the Arctic Circle said: "On Christmas Night 2016, I was standing beneath an intense display of auroras in Abisko, Sweden, when I heard something that sounded like Star Wars blasters."

As the lights danced overhead, a series of rat-a-tat 'swooshes' emanated from a nearby set of power lines. "Other bystanders heard it, too," he says. "I rushed closer to the power lines and was able to record a sample using my iPhone."

Wright says that the sounds waxed and waned in sync with the auroras overhead; the brighter the lights, the louder the sounds, reports Spaceweather.

What's going on?

"Aurora sounds" have long been a controvers…

Bright space object that appears and disappears in a split second emits alien signal

UFOvni2012 who was scanning the skies with his telescope captured something unusual. A bright and colorful object that suddenly appears and disappears in a split second and after having enlarged the object it looks like it is some kind of transmitter which emits a red pulse.


It is suggested that the scalar template is changing the time density the “signal” that causes conflict on earth is being interceded, the earth grid must change to induct a different code.

They call this existing grid a “Net” that inducts the “alien signal” from the modified Berkland currents that transfers interdimensional gluon plasma in a cyclic form that repeats history at a causal level of human society, human consciousness and perception is interwoven into the etheric currents that are carried on the coarser plasma and electromagnetic Tell-uric currents.

Bright object that emits red pulse can be seen in the video from the 2.16 mark.

The mysterious Red Star Betelgeuse is spinning faster than expected

Astronomer J. Craig Wheeler of The University of Texas at Austin thinks that Betelgeuse, the bright red star marking the shoulder of Orion, the hunter, may have had a past that is more interesting than meets the eye.

Working with an international group of undergraduate students, Wheeler has found evidence that the red supergiant star may have been born with a companion star, and later swallowed that star.

Image: Red Star Betelgeuse - Credit Thomas Wildoner.
The research is published on Dec. 19th in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

For such a well-known star, Betelgeuse is mysterious. Astronomers know that it's a red supergiant, a massive star that is nearing the end of its life and so has bloated up to many times its original size.

Someday it will explode as a supernova, but no one knows when. "It might be ten thousand years from now, or it might be tomorrow night," Wheeler, a supernova expert, said.

A new clue to the future of Betelgeuse i…

Strange Ground Level Events detected by South Pole Neutron Monitor - Source Unknown!

December 13, 2016: Multiple GLE's (Ground Level Events) have in the last 36 hours been detected by a South Pole Neutron Monitor. The Sun is quiet...where did the cosmic rays that caused this come from?


Superwave Cosmic Ray

A superwave cosmic ray burst that is not detectable above cosmic background levels but which carries a gamma ray burst and gravity wave pulse at its forefront, would likely produce seismic and EMP effects much stronger than the December 2004 earthquake and gamma ray burst.

This 2004 gamma ray burst was so powerful that it bounced off the Moon and lit up the Earth's upper atmosphere. The flash was brighter than anything ever detected from beyond our Solar System and lasted over a tenth of a second. NASA and European satellites and many radio telescopes detected the flash and its aftermath on December 27, 2004, one day after the earthquake and tsunami which happened on December 26, 2004.

Such a close and powerful eruption raises the question of whether the gamm…
