The starchild skull is alien, newest DNA results (March 6th 2012)

[Cidersomerset]

I don't know if this has already been posted....I came across it while looking
for info on another thread .....Its news to me and I have been following Lloyds
progress with the poss Starchild scull.Now he thinks it is pure Grey !!

How do they know without comparing samples.

How do they know without comparing samples.

He answers that question in the first few mins, its to do with new genetic techniches ??...

[Mike Gorman]

Considering where this skull was found, maybe it is a stray body from one of the 'crashes' that seem to have happened in this area

He does speculate that possibility right at the end, that it may have been stranded after a accident or something similar ??

This is a fascinating story with big implications. And it's unfolding right now on the leading edge of DNA research.

But I can see many difficulties ahead for Lloyd with the production and distribution of a privately funded movie. Surely this is Discovery/History Channel territory. As the evidence for this skull being non-human becomes more and more compelling, I don't really understand why these TV Channels with their considerable resources and huge world-wide audiences aren't beating a path to his door with cheque books in hand.

Yeah, you'd think they would be falling over each other to get this on their channel. Late in 2008 he had just that; a documentary producer in England was going to 1) do a documentary on the skull, and 2) pay for the full sequencing, and documenting it all along the way. Mysteriously, they backed out of it and that was the end of it.

The sad part is that since then, the evidence is no longer compelling, it's a slam dunk. It's already proven to be anything but terrestrial. However, without fully sequencing it, and documenting it in the process, mainstream will continue to ignore/refute/etc...

AMMACH with Lloyd Pye update :)

Is Steven Novella writing his apology as we speak?

[Cidersomerset]

Thanks Blackcat' good update its seems sureal that its got to this stage....Will mainstream and scientists embrace it or ridicule and attack
him when he releases the documentries ?? The timing around 2012 may suite TPTB ? The other thing that tells me the public maybe
ready is in surveys most people acknowledge the possibility of extra terrestials, and the religious objectors can probably cope with it
under the pretext, as the Vatican said something on the lines that'God' could have created them as well. So that base could be covered.

But the biggest paradyme change is the discovery of all the new planets in the last few years, which even the biggest sceptics must
acknowledge the possibilty of other civilisations out there !!

NASA's Kepler mission has discovered 11 new planetary systems hosting 26 confirmed planets. These discoveries nearly double the number of verified Kepler planets and triple the number of stars known to have more than one planet that transits, or passes in front of, its host star. Such systems will help astronomers better understand how planets form.

The planets orbit close to their host stars and range in size from 1.5 times the radius of Earth to larger than Jupiter. Fifteen of them are between Earth and Neptune in size, and further observations will be required to determine which are rocky like Earth and which have thick gaseous atmospheres like Neptune. The planets orbit their host star once every six to 143 days. All are closer to their host star than Venus is to our sun.

"Prior to the Kepler mission, we knew of perhaps 500 exoplanets across the whole sky," said Doug Hudgins, Kepler program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Now, in just two years staring at a patch of sky not much bigger than your fist, Kepler has discovered more than 60 planets and more than 2,300 planet candidates. This tells us that our galaxy is positively loaded with planets of all sizes and orbits."

Kepler identifies planet candidates by repeatedly measuring the change in brightness of more than 150,000 stars to detect when a planet passes in front of the star. That passage casts a small shadow toward Earth and the Kepler spacecraft.

“Confirming that the small decrease in the star's brightness is due to a planet requires additional observations and time-consuming analysis," said Eric Ford, associate professor of astronomy at the University of Florida and lead author of the paper confirming Kepler-23 and Kepler-24. “We verified these planets using new techniques that dramatically accelerated their discovery.”

Each of the new confirmed planetary systems contains two to five closely spaced transiting planets. In tightly packed planetary systems, the gravitational pull of the planets among themselves causes one planet to accelerate and another planet to decelerate along its orbit. The acceleration causes the orbital period of each planet to change. Kepler detects this effect by measuring the changes, or so-called Transit Timing Variations (TTVs).

Planetary systems with TTVs can be verified without requiring extensive ground-based observations, accelerating confirmation of planet candidates. The TTV detection technique also increases Kepler's ability to confirm planetary systems around fainter and more distant stars.

“By precisely timing when each planet transits its star, Kepler detected the gravitational tug of the planets on each other, clinching the case for ten of the newly announced planetary systems,” said Dan Fabrycky, Hubble Fellow at the University of California, Santa Cruz and lead author for a paper confirming Kepler-29, 30, 31 and 32."

Five of the systems (Kepler-25, Kepler-27, Kepler-30, Kepler-31 and Kepler-33) contain a pair of planets where the inner planet orbits the star twice during each orbit of the outer planet. Four of the systems (Kepler-23, Kepler-24, Kepler-28 and Kepler-32) contain a pairing where the outer planet circles the star twice for every three times the inner planet orbits its star.

“These configurations help to amplify the gravitational interactions between the planets, similar to how my sons kick their legs on a swing at the right time to go higher,” said Jason Steffen, the Brinson postdoctoral fellow at Fermilab Center for Particle Astrophysics in Batavia, Ill., and lead author of a paper confirming Kepler-25, 26, 27 and 28.

The system with the most planets among these discoveries is Kepler-33, a star that is older and more massive than our sun. Kepler-33 hosts five planets, ranging in size from 1.5 to 5 times that of Earth and all located closer to their star than any planet is to the sun.

The properties of a star provide clues for planet detection. The decrease in the star's brightness and duration of a planet transit combined with the properties of its host star present a recognizable signature. When astronomers detect planet candidates that exhibit similar signatures around the same star the likelihood of any of these planet candidates being a false positive is very low.

“The approach that was used to verify the Kepler-33 planets shows that the overall reliability of Kepler's candidate multiple transiting systems is quite high," said Jack Lissauer, planetary scientist at NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., and lead author of the paper confirming Kepler-33. “This is a validation by multiplicity.”
