Two Deep Space UFOs caught on VIDEO near International Space Station - May 2014

Two sightings of mysterious lights near the ISS from May 2014.

Keen observers of the International Space Station video feeds have caught two recent UFOs moving around our globe in deep space. The first could be explained away by a number of common space objects, the second video is not so easy to dismiss and warrants further investigation.

The first is said to be an upside-down pentagram and the maker of the video has further speculations that I do not share, but are presented below. Is it a satellite?



The second video shows multiple lights and is very intriguing. If they are satellites, then they appear to have multicolored lights! I do not think that is possible.

A series of lights near the ISS that were joined by a second row or lights that blink off, off and move around the station.


Though the poster of the video says that these are multiple UFO's, I wonder if this is one or two very large UFOs, one above the other. The lights slowly blink on and off in a random fashion. This video is not to be missed!

X Class Solar Flare Causes Radio Blackout, Potentially Harmful CME Misses Earth (VIDEO)

A solar flare, lasting for two hours, erupted on Thursday, April 24th at around 8:27 PM EDT (2014) that caused a blackout in the HF shortwave radio band on the day side of earth for nearly an hour, this region was located around the Pacific Ocean and Eastern Pacific Rim. This is described as an X1.3 solar flare. The frightening part is that a coronal mass ejection (CME) was also released but it missed the earth. It was alarming enough that NASA mentioned its possiable harmful effects in an on-line report.
Official NASA report on the solar flare
"Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however -- when intense enough -- they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel."
"This flare is classified as an X1.4 flare. X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength. An X2 is twice as intense as an X1, an X3 is three times as intense, etc."
From Mother Nature Network:
"When aimed directly at Earth, X-class solar flares can endanger to astronauts in space, as well as interfere with communications and navigation satellites in orbit. The most powerful X-class flares can also affect power grids and other infrastructure on the Earth."

Huge Asteroid 1998 QE2 Sails By Earth on Friday


Megan Gannon 
SPACE.com

A massive asteroid nearly 2 miles wide will zip by Earth on Friday (May 31), in a cosmic event that has grabbed the attention of stargazers, scientists and even White House officials. The asteroid poses no threat of hitting Earth during the flyby, NASA officials assure.

The huge asteroid 1998 QE2 is the size of nine cruise ships, about 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometers) across, NASA scientists say. While the asteroid makes its closest approach to Earth on Friday, traveling within 3.6 million miles (5.8 million km), you don't have to wait that long to see it. NASA chief Charles Bolden will host live telescope views of the asteroid today (May 30) at 1:30 p.m. EDT (1739 GMT) during a one-hour broadcast from the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

Private Firm Sets Sights on First Moon Base

NASA may not be going to the moon anytime soon, but private companies plan to do so, a study by space habitat developer Bigelow Aerospace shows.

The study, commissioned by NASA, is intended as a supplemental roadmap for the U.S. government as it charts human space initiatives beyond the International Space Station, a permanently staffed research complex that orbits about 250 miles above Earth.

“Instead of being the typical approach where we put together all the plans and we ask for participation, we wanted to look at it the other way and see what’s available,” NASA’s head of space operations, Bill Gerstenmaier, told reporters during a press conference on Thursday.

“This is a holistic kind of effort,” added Robert Bigelow, president and founder of the Nevada-based firm that bears his name. “It’s intended to encompass as much (information) as possible and it’s intended to evolve and to grow.”

The first part of the study surveyed about two dozen companies and research organizations about their ideas, plans, capabilities, schedules and costs for upcoming space initiatives. A draft report was submitted to NASA on Thursday -- 40 days ahead of schedule -- and has not yet been publicly released.

NASA intends to use the information to figure out where it can collaborate with private space initiatives and where it might, for example, entirely skip an expensive research and development program and just buy services or hardware commercially.

For example, after the International Space Station is removed from orbit, NASA could be a tenant aboard a Bigelow Aerospace-owned habitat for any microgravity research or technology development it wants to do.

Mars Curiosity Rover Photos: UFO Hunter Spots Strange 'Ruins,' 'Missile' [PHOTOS, VIDEO]



International Business Times - A.U. Edition

Mars Curiosity rover photos have drawn much attention from space science enthusiasts and UFO observers. The latest "structures" include rock formations seen as some ruins and some kind of missile. But who knows - could these image interpretations be merely a result of rich and playful imagination?

In the past, a rodent, a flower and some shiny object (among others) have been discussed in forum sites and video channels related to Mars Curiosity rover. Images of these things have been reportedly spotted in rover photos. NASA, however, maintains no life or anthropological evidence has been scientifically found on Mars to date.

More Evidence That Ancient Mars Could Support Life Found by Old Rover

The venerable Mars rover Opportunity, the older and smaller cousin of Curiosity, has discovered another water-weathered rock hinting that the Red Planet could have supported life in its ancient past, NASA officials said.

In its last days exploring "Cape York," a site on the rim of the giant Endeavour crater, the Opportunity rover examined a fractured rock unlike any it has seen during its nine years on Mars, researchers say. 

With data from a camera and spectrometer on the rover's robotic arm, researchers found that the rock, dubbed "Esperance," is a relic of a wetter time on Mars when life may have been possible.

Star Trek star says NASA is hiding alien evidence

Alice Eve in Star Trek Into Darkness




















British actress Alice Eve is convinced NASA experts are hiding discoveries of alien life after taking part in an online chat with NASA astronauts as part of her promotional duties for the new Star Trek movie.

The blonde beauty joined her Star Trek Into Darkness director JJ Abrams and co-stars Chris Pine and John Cho for the special Skype session at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas last Thursday, when they connected virtually with an astronaut onboard the International Space Station.

Eve found the online meeting fascinating, but it left her with a lot of questions and suspicions the space men weren't telling the truth when they were quizzed about lifeforms on other planets.
