Rare Transit Of Mercury Across The Sun

Published 1st April 2019



Mercury transits occur just 13 times per century, on average. They're so rare because the innermost planet's orbit is inclined by about 7 degrees compared to that of Earth, so Mercury, the sun and our home planet just don't line up all that often.

Mark your calendar!
Mercury will cross the sun's face from Earth's perspective on Monday (November11, 2019) in the first such "transit" since 2016.
The next one won't occur until Nov. 13, 2032. This is an unusual event, not to be missed.

The rare transit begins at 12:35 UT (7:35 am EST) and lasts for almost six hours. Mercury's tiny disk—jet black and perfectly round—will glide slowly across the face of the sun.

People in every continent except Australia can see at least a portion of the crossing. In the USA, the best place to be is on the Atlantic coast, where the entire transit is visible. On the Pacific coast the transit will already be in progress at sunrise.

Warning! Mercury covers only a tiny fraction of the sun's surface, so staring at the sun remains just as painful and dangerous as ever. But with a proper filter, the Transit of Mercury can be a marvelous experience.

Could Life Exist Around Red Dwarf Stars?

Published 1st April 2019

Could life exist around red dwarf stars? That's one of the most important questions in our search for life in the universe. Red dwarf stars are the most common type of star and they live for up to several trillion years. So if life can exist around red dwarf stars, then life might be very common in the universe. In fact, the two closest planets to the Sun, Proxima Centauri and Barnard's star, each host potentially habitable planets (Proxima b and Barnard b).

The Richard Dolan Show

Intelligent Disclosure | UFOs In Space. What's Going on Up There?

Streamed & Published 2nd April 2019

As long as we have been in space, we have seen UFOs. As humanity inevitably moves more and more into this realm, space-based UFOs will only become more important to acknowledge and understand. Meanwhile, there is a tremendous amount of history in this arena to discuss.

Richard Dolan is one of the world’s leading researchers and writers on the subject of UFOs and believes that they constitute the greatest mystery of our time. He is the author of two volumes of history, UFOs and the National Security State, both ground-breaking works which together provide the most factually complete and accessible narrative of the UFO subject available anywhere. He also co-authored a speculative book about the future, A.D. After Disclosure, the first-ever analysis not only of how UFO secrecy might end, but of the all-important question: what happens next?

Steve Ward | UFOs, Mothman & More!

Streamed & Published 3rd April 2019

Steve Ward has been fascinated by the unexplained for over half a century. There were two events that had a major influence on Steve and set a course for his future path. Growing up in Michigan, the March 1966 UFO flap occurred virtually in his backyard. The best, however was yet to come. The following November a winged humanoid chased two couples down a lonely country road near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and the legend of the Mothman was born. In a way, Steve would be chasing the Mothman the rest of his life. Influenced by John Keel and Jacques Vallee, his views on UFOs became unconventional and moved more toward a paranormal explanation. While in Europe in 1973 he stood at the foot of Stonehenge & on the shores of Loch Ness. In 1976 he attended the MUFON Symposium in Ann Arbor, Michigan and met such major figures as Ray Stanford and J. Allen Hynek. He was also able to interview Gray Barker of Saucerian Publications who was one of the attendees at the symposium. In 1977, he made his first visit to Point Pleasant, after having read "The Mothman Prophecies" by John Keel. In 1980 he joined the Navy and served aboard the USS Billfish, a nuclear fast attack submarine. Since 2006 he has been involved in the Mothman Festival, both behind the scenes and as a tour guide in the TNT area where the Mothman was first seen. He has spoken at the Mothman Festival for the last two years. Steve's main area of research is, what some call "high strangeness" or "window areas" (as Keel dubbed them) where disparate types of paranormal phenomena all seem to occur in the same location, and that studying these paranormally active locations may be the key to understanding what the source behind the manifestations may be. He is involved with the Roads Beyond the Known web series & is a correspondent on Mack Maloney's Military X- Files Radio Show. He has also just started his own show, "The High Strangeness Factor" that can be heard on Paranormal UK Radio.

The Edge Of An Infinite Universe

Published 4th April 2019

Have you ever asked “what is beyond the edge of the universe?” And have you ever been told that an infinite universe that has no edge? You were told wrong. In a sense. We can define a boundary to an infinite universe, at least mathematically. And it turns out that boundary may be as real or even more real than the universe it contains.

Our universe may be infinite. In order to wrap our puny human minds around such a notion we like to come up with boundaries. For example we have the “observable universe” – that patch that we can see, and beyond which light has not yet had time to reach us. It’s boundary is called the particle horizon. Beyond it there exists at a minimum of thousands and possibly infinitely more regions just as large. Our observable universe is like a tiny patch of land in a vast plain. We define its horizon like we might build a little picket fence around our little patch – meaningless from the point of view of the plain, but it makes our patch feel more homey and us less crushingly insignificant.

What Does Uranus Sound Like?

Published 2nd April 2019



Sometimes kids ask really simple questions – and parents have no idea what the answers are. When one of our colleagues was asked what it sounds like on the planet Uranus, she was stumped. And so were we! So we asked an expert.

Paul Byrne is a planetary geologist and an assistant professor in NC State's Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences. Because Byrne studies how (and why) planets look the way they do, we figured that he'd be a great person to talk to about what Uranus might sound like.

Jason Turner - SCU 2004 Nimitz Strike Group Case Interview

Published 3rd April 2019

Petty Officer Third Class Jason Turner was in Supply and did not have access to radar or
electronic data on the ship. However, he had a security clearance and as a result was able to view the IR video with the ship’s cryptology group. Jason was active in the service for 10 years and was stationed onboard the Princeton from January 2002 to March 2005.
Jason Turner was first interviewed by Robert Powell on January 11, 2018

Gary Voorhis - SCU 2004 Nimitz Strike Group Case Interview

Gary Voorhis is also a key witness from the USS Princeton because he was in charge of the ship’s Aegis computer suite known as the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC). This system allows the sharing of radar, electronic data, and any other sensor data between all the ships and aircraft in a Strike Group and coordinates this information with the ship’s weapon systems.

Gary Voorhis was first interviewed by Robert Powell on April 6, 2018

Kevin Day - SCU 2004 Nimitz Strike Group Case Interview

Senior Chief Kevin Day is a key witness from the USS Princeton because of his position, rank,
and experience. He was the Air Intercept Control Supervisor for the Princeton and for the Nimitz Strike Group. He was responsible for the radar operators as well as the use of those radars for air defense. He has very extensive experience with the SPY-1 phase shifting radar used on the ship as he worked on one of the first SPY-1 radar systems on the USS Vincennes. His performance rating in January 2005 from Captain J.L. Smith of the USS Princeton indicated that he “greatly exceeded standards”. The Captain made the comment on the rating document, which is available later in this appendix: “He is my number #1 SCPO [Senior Chief Petty Officer]! A recognized expert in Air Defense, his impact within the Nimitz Strike Group has been phenomenal.” The Senior Chief Day has 18 years of service at sea on Aegis radar systems and his medals included the Meritorious Service Medal and the Navy/Marine Corp Commendation Medal. He was also a Top Gun graduate for Strike-Fighter Tactics. He had seven deployments to the Middle East and has completed hundreds of air intercepts. A copy of these documents is available later in this appendix.
This extended commentary is noted because it is important to understand the level of competence and the capabilities of Senior Chief Day. In civilian life he has earned a degree in Business Administration and a Master Degree in Education. Kevin Day was first interviewed by Robert Powell on January 15, 2018. He indicated that he had not been interviewed by anyone else prior to that date. Mr. Day indicated that he had made notes of the November 14, 2004 event and was operating with his notes during the interview. Beginning in May of 2018 Mr. Day made several public interviews and became active on a Facebook chat site. Some of his comments are regarding topics to which he did not have first hand knowledge and may have been picked up from things either he read on Facebook sites or heard from others or just changes to memory. It is not the intent of this report to look for every inconsistency in a witness’s testimony but instead to look for consistencies between witnesses and draw a conclusion as to what actually occurred. It is believed the most accurate recounting of the Senior Chief’s experience was his original interview on January 15 with Mr. Powell.

Although not an interview, prior to his January 15th statements Mr. Day did make a posting on an internet forum known as Open Minds in December of 2010.

The details that he provided are very similar to the interview conducted on January 15. There are some statements made that are different such as a statement that the “Tic-Tac” entered the water or that the video was taken on a HUD display rather than a ATFLIR. But as a whole, Mr. Day’s basic story has been consistent and in combination with statements from other witnesses allows the critical portions of this event to be pieced together.

Kevin Day’s experience with this incident did affect him emotionally and his emotions are evident in his voice during the January 15 interview. The fact that this event had such an impact on Mr. Day, and that there are also multiple witnesses, only strengthens the argument that these witnesses experienced an extraordinary event. Nonetheless, the emotional impact on Mr. Day requires us to look for corroborating evidence on the details that he has recounted. This has been done and the critical facts recounted by Mr. Day are supported by other witnesses.
