AAPC 2019 | Robert Powell & Peter Reali | USS Nimitz Strike Group 2004 Incident

Published 9th June 2019

Presentation Abstract:
On November 14th of 2004, the U.S. Navy’s Carrier Strike Group Eleven (CSG 11), including the USS Nimitz nuclear aircraft carrier and the USS Princeton missile cruiser, were conducting a training exercise off the coast of southern California when the Navy’s radar systems detected as many as 20 anomalous aerial vehicles (AAV). These AAVs were deemed a safety hazard to an upcoming air exercise and the Captain of the USS Princeton ordered an interception with two F/A-18F Navy jets. This paper examines the publicly available subset of these data: Eyewitness information from the pilots and radar operators; Freedom of Information Act releases of four navy documents; and a Defense Intelligence Agency released video taken by an F/A-18F jet using an AN/ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting Forward Looking Infrared (ATFLIR). The release of all navy records associated with this incident to enable a full, scientific and open investigation is strongly recommended.

Debashish Banerji | Understanding the Rig Veda

Recorded 22nd May & Published 10th June 2019

Debashish Banerji, PhD, is Haridas Chaudhuri Professor of Indian Philosophies and Cultures and Chairman of the East West Psychology Department at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. He is author of Seven Quartets of Becoming: A Transformative Yoga Psychology Based on the Diaries of Sri Aurobindo and also The Alternative Nation of Abanindranath Tagore, a book about his great grandfather. He edited an anthology about his great uncle, Rabindranath Tagore in the Twenty-First Century. His newest anthology is titled Critical Posthumanism and Planetary Futures.

Here he discusses the cosmology inherent in what is arguably the world's oldest religious scripture, aspects of which are surprisingly modern. He points out that the Vedas share many Indo-European traits. So, the Vedic pantheon is similar to the Greek. He refers to hymns celebrating the use of a mysterious entheogen known as "Soma". He elaborates upon the role of sacrifice in ancient India. He also notes that this ancient scripture can be viewed in a psychological context.

May 2019 : Earth Changes Summary

Published 9th June 2019

Winter is coming... In May! The sun has been spotless for 19 consecutive days - almost 3 full weeks, could this be one of the many signals of beginning of a new ice age, mini....or maxi?

May 2019 became yet another portent of what may be to come in the not so distant future for most of the world: sheets of rain, floods, massive hail, plunging temperatures, unseasonalable snow, damaged and failed crops, significant earthquakes, tornados and more volcano eruptions.

Heavy rains and widespread floods hit most of the US Midwest, parts of Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

In the US, the Mississippi river overflowed due to heavy rains, breaking historical records. At least three people died, and tens of thousands have been displaced.

In Europe, Germany and Austria received over 1 month's worth of rain that flooded streets and disrupted travel. While the Middle East saw flash floods leaving dozens dead, houses destroyed and streets wiped out. In China torrential rains turned deadly with over 200,000 affected.

Unseasonable snow also continued in May, with heavy blankets covering the Midwest and western US, with parts of Europe also affected, resulting in delayed planting and damaged crops. Meanwhile in Australia early snow falls dumped snow right across the country.

The Ring of Fire remained active this May with increased volcanic activity and a 6.2 Mag earthquake in El Salvador sparking panic and tsunami warnings. Peru was also rocked by a huge 8.0 Mag earthquake that was felt as far as Brazil, leaving one dead and several injured.

All that, and more, in this month's SOTT Earth Changes Summary...

Slooh

Dr. Paige Godfrey | By Jove, It's Opposition Time

Published 10th June 2019

Join astrophysicist Dr. Paige Godfrey on Monday, June 10 beginning at 8 p.m. EDT (00:00UTC) for one of our favorite astronomical events of the year --- the mighty gas giant Jupiter at opposition.

Our host will explain what we are seeing through our telescopes at both the Canary Islands and Chile observatories as we focus on our Solar System’s largest planet throughout the night.

Being in opposition means that Earth will pass between Jupiter and the Sun and we will get one of the closest and longest looks we have of the planet all year as it is visible all night long.

Jupiter won’t be the only focus. The last time Slooh covered this event on April 7, 2017, there were only 67 known moons orbiting Jupiter. Today we know of at least 79, and the Galilean satellites, the four largest moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Calisto will be part of the show as well. Remember that the enormity and brightness of Jupiter make its moons appear tiny in comparison, but these objects are some of the largest known bodies after the Sun and planets in our Solar System. We will be able to see all four moons as they orbit the planet, with Io (the closest moon) passing behind Jupiter during the second half of the night (known as an occultation).

Jupiter makes one complete rotation on its axis in just under ten hours (a Jovian day), so this makes for a quickly changing backdrop and allows Slooh’s experts to explain many of the Jovian features we will see that night, including the largest storm in the Solar System - the Great Red Spot.

By the end of the night, members will be able to map the entire surface of the planet using the images they capture from the Chile telescopes.

Mass Anomaly Detected Under the Moon's Largest Crater

Published 10th June 2019



A mysterious large mass of material has been discovered beneath the largest crater in our solar system—the Moon's South Pole-Aitken basin—and may contain metal from the asteroid that crashed into the Moon and formed the crater, according to a Baylor University study.

"Imagine taking a pile of metal five times larger than the Big Island of Hawaii and burying it underground. That's roughly how much unexpected mass we detected," said lead author Peter B. James, Ph.D., assistant professor of planetary geophysics in Baylor's College of Arts & Sciences.

Site of Biggest Ever Meteorite Collision in the UK Discovered

Published 9th June 2019



Evidence for the ancient, 1.2 billion years old, meteorite strike, was first discovered in 2008 near Ullapool, NW Scotland by scientists from Oxford and Aberdeen Universities. The thickness and extent of the debris deposit they found suggested the impact crater – made by a meteorite estimated at 1km wide – was close to the coast, but its precise location remained a mystery.

How Space Triggers Herpes in Astronauts

Published 10th June 2019

The herpes simplex virus can hide deep in your DNA, evading your immune system for years, and sometimes make it to space by hitching onto the backs of astronauts and reactivating on the ISS. What is it about space that causes its comeback?

Did NASA’s Twin Study Results Just Change Spaceflight Forever? - https://youtu.be/qwX04NyofLc

Herpes Virus Reactivation in Astronauts During Spaceflight and Its Application on Earth
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles...019.00016/full
"There is increasing evidence to suggest that these spaceflight-associated stressors chronically amplify the release of stress hormones, which negatively affects the immune system, especially the adaptive immune system facilitating latent herpes virus reactivation during and after spaceflight. Increased levels of salivary, plasma and urinary stress hormones such as cortisol and catecholamines commonly accompany spaceflight"

Virus reactivation: a panoramic view in human infections
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3142679/
"With regard to future therapies, current inhibitors for pathways such as MAPK/NF-κB are unspecific, as they inhibit activity in both host and infected cells. We propose that a strategy for effective antiviral therapies would be to design specifically regulated inhibitors that do not lower signaling below functional physiological levels. By doing so, we can ensure that the activity of such signaling molecules is not reduced below threshold levels in uninfected or tumor cells. "

How herpesvirus invades nervous system
https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0328091754.htm
"Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified a component of the herpesvirus that "hijacks" machinery inside human cells, allowing the virus to rapidly and successfully invade the nervous system upon initial exposure."

Breakthrough Watch & ESO Announce "First Light" Exoplanet Search @ Very Large Telescope

Published 10th June 2019



Breakthrough Watch, the global astronomical program looking for Earth-like planets around nearby stars, and the European Southern Observatory (ESO), Europe’s foremost intergovernmental astronomical organization, announced “first light” on a newly-built planet-finding instrument at ESO’s Very Large Telescope in the Atacama desert, Chile.

The instrument, called NEAR (Near Earths in the AlphaCen Region), is designed to hunt for exoplanets in our neighboring star system, Alpha Centauri, within the “habitable zones” of its two sun-like stars, where water could potentially exist in liquid form. It has been developed over the last three years and was built in collaboration with the University of Uppsala in Sweden, the University of Liège in Belgium, the California Institute of Technology in the US, and Kampf Telescope Optics in Munich, Germany.

Ufology is currently dealing with a significant leak in the form of the Admiral Wilson notes. However, leaks are nothing new. One of the most sensational (and debated) has concerned the Majestic documents, the sum total of which is more than two inches thick. Ryan Wood, along with his father Dr. Bob Wood, is the leading expert on these documents. Their website, http://majesticdocuments.com, houses all the documents and provides detailed analysis of each one. These documents collectively describe a detailed history of UFO crash retrievals, studies of extraterrestrial biology, and much more.

Who Is Really in Charge of US Space Operations?

Published 11th June 2019



From 1957 to 1961, the United States turned its attention to space. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics became the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Army launched our first satellite, Explorer, with its Redstone rocket, and the Navy followed with its Vanguard system, then began developing the Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). The Air Force was building the Thor, Atlas and Titan missiles, initially as intermediate range or intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) for delivering nuclear warheads. Then, unknown to most of us, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) was created to use the best missiles to put intelligence-gathering satellites into space.

As a 7th grade student learning about this, I wondered, who is really in charge of U.S. space operations?
