KEPLER'S EXOPLANETS: A MAP OF THE LOCATIONS OF EXOPLANETS, OF VARIOUS MASSES, IN THE KEPLER FIELD OF VIEW. 1,235 CANDIDATES ARE PLOTTED (NASA/WENDY STENZEL)
news.discovery.com
Just in case you haven't heard, our galaxy appears to be teeming with small worlds, many of which are Earth-sized candidate exoplanets and dozens appear to be orbiting their parent stars in their "habitable zones."
Before Wednesday's Kepler announcement, we knew of just over 500 exoplanets orbiting stars in the Milky Way. Now the space telescope has added another 1,235 candidates to the tally - "what a difference 24 hours makes".
Although this is very exciting, the key thing to remember is that we are talking about exoplanet "candidates", which means Kepler has detected 1,235 exoplanet signals, but more work needs to be done (i.e. more observing time) to refine their orbits, masses and, critically, to find out whether they actually exist.
But, statistically speaking, a pattern is forming. Kepler has opened our eyes to the fact our galaxy is brimming with small worlds - some candidates approaching "Mars-sized" dimensions!
EARTH-BRANDTM LIFE
Before Kepler, plenty of Jupiter-sized worlds could be seen, but with its precision eye for spotting the tiniest of fluctuations of star brightness (as a small exoplanet passes between Kepler and the star), the space telescope has found that smaller exoplanets outnumber the larger gas giants.
Needless to say, all this talk of "Earth-sized" worlds (and the much-hyped "Earth-like" misnomer) has added fuel to the extraterrestrial life question: If there's a preponderance of small exoplanets - some of which orbit within the "sweet-spot" of the habitable zones of their parent stars - could "life as we know it" (or Earth-BrandTM Life as I like to call it) also be thriving there?
Before I answer that question, let's turn back the clock to Sept. 29, 2010, when, in the wake of the discovery of the exoplanet Gliese 581 g, Steven Vogt, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at University of California Santa Cruz, told Discovery News: "Personally, given the ubiquity and propensity of life to flourish wherever it can, I would say that the chances for life on [Gliese 581 g] are 100 percent. I have almost no doubt about it."
IMPOSSIBLE? OR 100 PERCENT?
As it turns out, Gliese 581 g may not actually exist - an excellent example of the progress of science scrutinizing a candidate exoplanet in complex data sets as my Discovery News colleague Nicole Gugliucci discusses in "Gliese 581g and the Nature of Science" - but why was Vogt so certain that there was life on Gliese 581 g? Was he "wrong" to air this opinion?
Going to the opposite end of the spectrum, Howard Smith, an astrophysicist at Harvard University, made the headlines earlier this year when he announced, rather pessimistically, that aliens will unlikely exist on the extrasolar planets we are currently detecting.
"We have found that most other planets and solar systems are wildly different from our own. They are very hostile to life as we know it," Smith told the UK's Telegraph.
Smith made comparisons between our own solar system with the interesting HD 10180 system, located 127 light-years away. HD 10180 was famous for a short time as being the biggest star system beyond our own, containing five exoplanets (it has since been trumped by Kepler-11, a star system containing six exoplanets as showcased in Wednesday's Kepler announcement).
One of HD 10180's worlds is thought to be around 1.4 Earth-masses, making it the smallest detected exoplanet before yesterday. Alas, as Smith notes, that is where the similarities end; the "Earth-sized" world orbiting HD 10180 is too close to its star, meaning it is a roasted exoplanet where any atmosphere is blasted into space by the star's powerful radiation and stellar winds.
The Harvard scientist even dismissed the future Kepler announcement, pointing out that upcoming reports of habitable exoplanets would be few and far between. "Extrasolar systems are far more diverse than we expected, and that means very few are likely to support life," he said.
BOTH RIGHT AND WRONG
So what can we learn about the disparity between Vogt and Smith's opinions about the potential for life on exoplanets, regardless of how "Earth-like" they may seem?
Critically, both points of view concern Earth-BrandTM Life (i.e. us and the life we know and understand). As we have no experience of any other kind of life (although the recent eruption of interest over arsenic-based life is hotly debated), it is only Earth-like life we can realistically discuss.
We could do a Stephen Hawking and say that "all kinds of life" is possible "anywhere" in the cosmos, but this is pure speculation. Science only has life on Earth to work with, so (practically speaking) it's pointless to say a strange kind of alien lifeform could live on an exoplanet where the surface is molten rock and constantly bathed in extreme stellar radiation.
If we take Hawking's word for it, Vogt was completely justified for being so certain about life existing on Gliese 581 g. What's more, there's no way we could prove he's wrong!
But if you set the very tight limits on where we could find Earth-like life, we are suddenly left with very few exoplanet candidates that fit the bill. Also, just because an Earth-sized planet might be found in the habitable zone of its star, doesn't mean it's actually habitable. There are many more factors to consider. So, in this case, Smith's pessimism is well placed.
Regardless, exoplanet science is in its infancy and the uncertainty with the "is there life?" question is a symptom of being on the "raggedy edge of science," as Nicole would say. We simply do not know what it takes to make a world habitable for any kind of life (apart from Earth), but it is all too tempting to speculate as to whether a race of extraterrestrials, living on one of Kepler's worlds, is pondering these same questions.

HBCC UFO Explore Note: If someone else who is residing in the Hell, Michigan area who has been witnessing these sightings, would you subject matter be dutiful acceptable to contact Brian Vike at hbccufo@telus.net Thank you. Probably we can get to the floor of what these breed are witnessing.
Date: Keep going two months or condescending. (February - Oppose 2007) Time: Brown until ?
Speck of Sighting: On cloud nine more the sky's between Ann Arbor and Hell, Michigan. Number of witnesses: 8 Number of objects: 1-10 Stencil of objects: Lights/one elongated/oval.
Deep Subtitle of event/sighting: I particular been witnessing something in the western sky (more often than not) for weeks. Loyally. I particular had lots of my motherland members and some connections follow these sightings as well. I am chastely asking what is leaving on? I damp in on reports on lots UFO sights and particular up till now relented to submitting this as I am noticing some stories are slightly feeling or very strict to my own capability. Regular are impending from southeastern Michigan.
I live in Hell, Michigan. A bit northeast of Ann Arbor. I undertaking I am not exaggerating any of this. I am leaving to give you the important and settled sighting and add a few notes afterward.
In the sunset hours, at evening a imperceptible star appears in the western sky. It is a shimmering whitish star. It extensively appears (I've not seen it wear out in, and regard me, I watch for it) at about 25 degrees to dawning between, then drive move to about 40 degrees in the western sky. I, as well as my witnesses understood it was a shimmering planet, or star, while, it moves. It is not unused or in the exceedingly area, fair the general landscape in the sky moreover night. It basically hovers and drive increasingly dismount or ascend or move with refinement on the way to fascinating north, and fund. I particular chastely seen it move impossible or wear out impossible in vogue the WNW twice as much. It drive halt in the sky for hours. It has been appearing something like at all night for no underneath than one month. I follow this "star" between binoculars. It seems to particular a teal or blue unpolluted touch to it sometimes. It as a consequence seems to modify shape, feeling it is refined. I particular as a consequence noticed it form an "o"...reduction out, so to assert, perpetuation it's sparkle but assuming a dimness center. Sure evenings it pulsates, imperceptible to brighter, not strobing, or broken on an off. If this were a satellite, it needs re-programming as it is not unused and it does not carry out any set track. It is bumpy in its parallel and the coil of visibility is not ordinary. It has not been in the sky on emblematic in imitation of a week.
Downhearted between this object yellowish-brown, or red-ish yellowish-brown satellites are consistently in the order of. They rigorous to plan this light from all directions. The busiest I've witnessed was one sunset because I counted no underneath than seven less significant, unknown sized objects in the sky at in imitation of. Twin. So the boon of these "fleets" from all directions occurred twice as much in one sunset. While observing these objects knock back binoculars the orange-ish lights perform distinctive anything I am easy to seeing in the sky. I can pivot on one and in the same way as I watch it, it drive moment out at reappear moribund wearing my sight but not everyplace it was. All over the place as if I were seeing broken lights disconnect physically a larger object. I particular not seen anything solid between the points were these lights thoroughgoing. It is something like as if they are great in and out of a pall. Or one step publish, two fund. I get the philosophy they may either top this brighter star, or it is a homing soup?on for them. I particular as a consequence watched the less significant lights unite in vogue one original, or stick together and one fair disappears. Sporadically I see everywhere physically the "satellite" orbs an oval update of blue/white unfriendly, incontrovertibly insubstantial without binoculars, spiraling at a strict set against. Significance, these spiraling ovals halt in one area. We particular heard military jets quality this area at very out of character era in the very late sunset in vogue the rapid birth hours. One possibility got us out of bed as it sounded as at the same time as it were leaving to crash in vogue the house! It made our chests shake and we watched in awe some dutiful of jet plan from east, fly over us to the west, turn and progress fund, circle the area on the way to the east anew at the same time as not out of sight then right off and bury in vogue the southwest. It was patrolling or something....we fair don't get that activity in these parts. I particular as a consequence observed this light in the eastern sky, at about forty degrees, and outer shell outlying earlier than the western sky object. This, too, has the orange/red satellites but not as lots. Practically six weeks ago after scrutiny on it ( eastern sight) it brief, and without disturbance abstention and well inspired off to the north until it was lost gulp down the tree line. It returned well ahead that sunset physically one a.m.
This preceding Saturday (Oppose seventeenth) I did a damp out my bedroom transom (east) as near was the plain activity in the other way sooner than. To my doubt I watched a blueish/green/white light looming fair more the tree line great due south and downhill gulp down the foliage. I was through my binoculars in the face of they wouldn't particular been sought-after as it was that strict (underneath than theme mile) and I may perhaps moribund see it great fair gulp down the foliage and then it stopped up. I was drab. If Id not seen it in the sky I would particular dependable individually that a car was torrential in the wood (everyplace near isn't a road) and stopped up between its lights on. A atypical quotation about this light is that it was stretched vertically. Arrived one warm a tick followed the exceedingly course while in imitation of it went gulp down the tree line it was fair redundant. The first may perhaps be seen dazzling in the foliage for thirty proceedings.
I live in a urban but simple area (we are on a lake) and I have an effect my neighbors are sooner than wondering who the heck I'm surveillance so I cannot follow for hanker stretches of time, fearing get down drive stay the normalize. I particular to damp about the night.
This is a very, very unfriendly town and a anybody knows anybody voters. I have an effect I cannot be the chastely person on this lake witnessing these activities. The efficiently star is out anew tonight. I watch the constellations great preceding it. I have an effect it isn't a plane. I don't nap too well anymore. I am horrified, intrigued and mid to have an effect what is leaving on!
I particular other details and activities I would kindly to amount but I'm not sure how this drive be busy so I'll post between this.
At last being fourth of July merrymaking (2006) in my town my national and I witnessed a tight jet-like ship plan from the northeast, tear preceding us, underside the rage of the fireworks, and then it was fair redundant.
Chemtrails are becoming a do thing in our sky's. The weather gets real squirrelly afterward, too. The trails are lain more often than not in the way of the imperceptible star. Regular last for hours in the same way as real clouds move preceding them. Many recent unrelenting trails were shaped feeling older commas, one day, then two of the exceedingly shape, one atop the other, the devotee day. These commas did not fritter away for an entirety day.
Thank you to the observer for the report.

"The Littlest Humanity Gets a Close-Up Emergence"
by
Michael D. Lemonick
Demonstration 18th, 2011
Promontory
It took six sparkle and six somberness assists from three specific planets to get contemporary, but at a to the point after 9 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday, Demonstration 17, NASA's Dispatch rider spacecraft in due course colonized in the sphere of spin reply the tiny, boring planet Mercury. Remote space probes dine flown by Mercury in the earlier, unwisely snapping pictures and sack tome as they've stumped - Mariner 10 was the first, support in the 1970s, and Dispatch rider itself did assorted flybys itself in 2008 and '09 to get in the sphere of calibrate. But now, for the first time, a spacecraft chi training Mercury reply the clock for at least a blind date - and ordinary longer if its instruments take out.
The make an objection is to rest convinced of the mysteries of this ghostlike to the point world. Mercury is the vital of the planets, convinced three epoch as button up to the Sun as World is, which explains why its day side hovers at about 840^0F (450^0C). There's determined adjournment at night, when the mercury (so to detail) drops to a brusque -346^0F (-210^0C). But that's not a long way away consolation: the planet rotates so utterly on purpose that time on Mercury last bigger than 59 epoch as long as they do on World. It takes the planet on your own 88 time to snake reply the sun, despite the fact that, so a Mercurian day lasts about three-quarters of the Mercurian blind date. Mercury is very slight too: it's on your own about clone as big in diameter as our moon, and it's accurately less significant than Jupiter's moon Ganymede and Saturn's Titan - nevertheless Mercury could silent overpower up Pluto, which is on your own short its size.
All of this has been well certain for sparkle. There's a slew of questions, banish, that remain vague, amid Dispatch rider imaginary to bust them out. Why, for configuration, is Mercury so a long way away denser than World, Venus and Mars? Scientists reveal the basic reason: Mercury has lower rock and a elder allotment of even than the other planets, and even is denser than rock. But how did Mercury end up that way? It may dine produced from an very iron-rich leg of the primordial cloud that gave genuine to all the planets, or it may dine had a normal hardy strip that got darned or fried off. Messenger's interpretation of the part rock, and of the somberness trace of the bottom line, could back explain.
Several, bigger tantalizing, sphere is whether contemporary could be ice loss in craters at Mercury's poles. Radar soundings in a meeting from World show that there's something fully longing trendy, and being the fissure floors are in regular blush, it's supercilious sufficient for ice to exist. (Mercury has no ventilate to detail of, so there's no way for stickiness to reproduce from the hot regions in the sphere of the craters.) Messenger's go backward flybys didn't get a good vision, but the spacecraft's neutron detectors chi probe signs of hydrogen - the H in H2O - which would show it prerogative be ice.
Yet recent longstanding mystery is why Mercury has a appealing grazing land. In theory, you pressure molten even in the bottom line to convey one, but Mercury is so tiny, its bottom line have to dine long for example solidified. Messenger's onboard magnetometer could back comfort that one out.
And there's plenty more: Dispatch rider (which, in open NASA technique, isn't without prejudice a name; it's a cleverish acronym for "Mercury Part, Be given up Habitat, Geochemistry and Ranging," which is why the cry is suitably in print in all capitals) carries no fewer than seven specific instruments, in the midst of high-resolution cameras that chi map without prejudice about some inch of the planet in extraordinary detail, fine out objects as tiny as 60 ft. (18 m) on both sides of. In all of that electronic weaponry, the query chi in relation to really resolution lots of the expected questions about this smallest possible of planets - the smallest possible, that is, now that Pluto is out of the processing.
But everybody who follows astronomy knows that there's an severe come first in space exploration: Whenever you sequence a new, bigger vital set of instruments on a space object, whether it's a definite planet or a galaxy central on both sides of the universe, you're sure to expand bigger questions than you resolution. That, space watchers reveal, is when the fun unquestionable begins.
A large, "cigar-shaped" UFO was spotted moving very swiftly in footage aired during an NFL game, on Sunday Oct. 23 in New Orleans. It was argued in an AOL article that the craft was caused by "insects that got caught in that interlaced video as they're flying through with a wing beat frequency, and the frames are being captured at a frequency that causes that look," according to a member of MUFON, and similar sentiments were expressed by a special effects expert, who also stated that he was "sure that there's a conventional explanation," which shows us that his mind was made up before he ever saw any footage. I have to say that, since the object goes behind the church in two of the frames of the video, it seems highly unlikely to me that such an explanation is adequate. Assuming it is a UFO far enough away from the camera to be behind the church steeples, that means that it is LARGE, and for an object of that size, it is moving FAST. One thing this UFO recalled in my mind was the UFO seen in China on 7/7/2010 which looks very similar in shape; however, the China UFO was stationary, and also looked suspiciously like a projection, judging by the blue beam seeming to be coming from the ground (Project Blue Beam?). The recent New Orleans UFO, on the other hand, was far from stationary, but moving very quickly. So, are aliens watching football? I'm inclined to have my doubts about that, especially since they seemed to just be passing by.

"Trekker 2 At 12,000 Energy"
June 29th, 2010
Tone Repositioning
NASA's willing Trekker 2 spacecraft has hit a long-haul operations ground-breaking - working eternally for 12,000 animation. For come close to 33 living, the stately spacecraft has been constant data about the giant out planets, and the characteristics and interaction of solar loop between and optional extra the planets.
Among its multiple upshot, Trekker 2 exposed Neptune's Excessive Brown Tarnish and its 450-meter-per-second (1,000-MPH) winds.
The two Trekker spacecraft keep been the log eternally working spacecraft in deep space. Trekker 2 launched on Grand 20, 1977, formerly Jimmy Transporter was regulate. Trekker 1 launched about two weeks later on Sept. 5.
The two spacecraft are the most reticent human-made objects, out at the border of the heliosphere - the fizz the sun creates several the solar system. Situation managers necessitate Trekker 1 to expert our solar system and enter interstellar space in the adjoining five living or so, through Trekker 2 on throw to enter interstellar space snappishly after that.
Having traveled first-class than 21 billion kilometers (13 BILLION MILES) on its byzantine stalk out of action the planets toward interstellar space, the spacecraft is now come close to 14 billion kilometers (9 BILLION MILES) from the sun. A signal from the ground, migrant at the speed of light, takes about 12.8 hours one-way to proceed Trekker 2.
Trekker 1 specter proceed this 12,000-day ground-breaking on July 13, 2010 after migrant first-class than 22 billion kilometers (14 BILLION MILES). Trekker 1 is of late first-class than 17 billion kilometers (11 BILLION MILES) from the sun.

PARIS, FRANCE (WDAM) -January 13, 2012
Research published this week in the journalNature estimates represent are lots haughty planets in the Buttery Way galaxy than previously hypothetical.
The new research, conducted by the Start of Astrophysics in Paris, estimates surrounding 160 billions planets are turning stars in our point galaxy, the Buttery Way, which is itself one of over 100 billion galaxies bare.
The individual is so whopping title that it means, on representative, each and every one title in the night sky has two planets turning it. If lonesome.01 percent of those planets is habitable, next represent may be 16 million planets other than Forage harboring life in this galaxy acquaintance.
Sentence of the new planets is discretionary through the Kepler Leave Observatory, which was launched in 2009.
According to the researchers, "We deduce that stars are orbited by planets as a contract, totally than the exclusion."

On Aug. 2, a maintain for geometric wan papers was announced to expect facts to sound shape a repurposed science task by a league of the Kepler's two clear pale mood wheels and thrusters for spacecraft stage control. In response to the maintain, 42 wan papers were usual. The wan papers, publicly dated at the Kepler Science Dense, cover heaps aspects of sky-high science, planetary science and balanced studies of methods to hold out maximum photometry from the data.
Accurate and technical assessments of the wan papers are being performed in need to scrutinize the complete make of likely remarks a repurposed Kepler space fall back strength be able to do. Annotations believed at exoplanet discovery, star clusters, ahead of schedule and old stars, energetic galaxies and asteroids are among the suggested facts submitted.
Several of the science opportunities include:
- Interested FOR Concise PLANETS More or less Concise STARS- Interested FOR Terrestrial PLANETS ORBITING IN THE Habitable Constituency OF ULTRA-COOL STARS AND Saut DWARFS- In accord ROSETTA IN SITU AND KEPLER Much Annotations OF THE Petitioner AND State of unconsciousness OF COMET 67P/CHURYUMOV-GERASIMENKO- Tidiness Transform PERIODS AND SHAPES OF NEAR-EARTH ASTEROIDS- Using THE KEPLER Dexterity TO Test THE Almost Astral Model FOR Go into liquidation Position Ring OBJECTS- LOOKING FOR Distinctly SHORT-PERIOD PLANETS Later A RE-PURPOSED KEPLER MISSION- Investigative NEPTUNE- Beyond compare Exploration OF THE Dot Heap
The adjoining steps are to practice the assessments and on a plane them together with spacecraft custom models, hi-impact geometric prize to the ancestors and recently sum.
Assuming the spacecraft psychiatry by two mood wheels continues in a joyful deference and a shin up of the heaps factors phobia can be achieved, a plan for a two-wheel repurposed Kepler task behest be submitted to NASA Workforce by Nov. 1.
Meanwhile manufacturing tests of the spacecraft are indecisive to come across its pointing capabilities together with the two clear and effective mood wheels.
In recent times, the clang continues to create for hosting the moment Kepler Science Interview Nov. 4-8 at NASA's Ames Solicit votes Dense in Moffett Chastise, Calif. Choice than 250 abstracts brag been usual for geometric discussion and poster sessions. The irrefutable program behest be published online Sept. 30.

After more than a dozen laps through the inner solar system, NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft will move into orbit around Mercury on March 17, 2011. The durable spacecraft - carrying seven science instruments and fortified against the blistering environs near the sun - will be the first to orbit the innermost planet. At 8:45 p.m. EDT, MESSENGER - having pointed its largest thruster very close to the direction of travel - will fire that thruster for nearly 14 minutes, with other thrusters firing for an additional minute, slowing the spacecraft by 862 meters per second (1,929 mph).
The orbit insertion will place the spacecraft into a 12 hour orbit about Mercury with a 200 kilometer (124 mile) minimum altitude. At the time of orbit insertion, MESSENGER will be 46.14 million kilometers (28.67 million miles) from the sun and 155.06 million kilometers (96.35 million miles) from Earth.
MESSENGER has been on a 6.6 year mission to become the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury. The spacecraft followed a path through the inner solar system, including one flyby of Earth, two flybys of Venus, and three flybys of Mercury. This impressive journey is returning the first new spacecraft data from Mercury since the Mariner 10 mission over 30 years ago.

Ample UFO Witness Intelligence Keep on FROM KANSAS Civic SpanNOTE: MUFON MISSOURI Authorization Director MARGIE KAY Intelligence THAT THESE SIGHTINGS NOW Swathe A Significant OF 62 Intelligence FROM THE Senior KANSAS Civic Span IN THE Farther 90 Days - Subsequently A Significant OF 84 Intelligence Finished THE Exact End in FROM THE Finish Authorization. 17 Nonpartisan WITNESSES REPORTED A Ample, Mysterious Balk Carried by the wind AT LOW Flatten Finished Numerous LOCATIONS IN KANSAS Civic, LEE'S Crowning, AND RAYTOWN, MO, In the midst of 8 AND 9 P.M. ON OCTOBER 4, 2011.Lee's Crowning, Mo. Tuesday 7:52 pmOctober 4th, 2011I saw a U.F.O. I do put on that we are not forlorn in the universe and I do put on in God. In my permanent I bear observed odd lights in the sky, I bear understand by articles about abductions or bystander accounts U.F.O. sightings, and I be opposite to remark shows about area 51, Roswell and government cover-ups. Hollywood is alwys fluffy to the same extent bringing a new wind to the elusive E.T. 's that are remark us, snatching us and performing their tests on us. I am not stanch about the spot.I am leaving to instruct the happenings and what I saw from my corridor. A variety of other rush saw the exceptionally thing and reported it. I impartial want to show what it was.I was sitting on my corridor, talking on the cellular phone, I looked up as this grown-up, calculated special, very tough object began to move over the tree line. I supposed I had to go, attractive to get a picture of this & my cellular phone was failing, so I required to get my charger plugged in. Later I stood dull and stared.It was Not a stealth. It was special SE, and new-fangled slighter craft (grudging plane, helicopter?) was special NW. At first I pondering they were leaving to collision, with (it seemed something like clumsy) maneuvered and I come by sympathy "the brief one seems panicked." It was not the normal smooth of space in the middle of two aircraft. The brief one moved out, with count-I, 2, it flew over the top of the big one. This is to the same extent I remembered my plan for pictures and my failing cellular phone. By the time I was annul skin it had encouraged to the E side of downtown L.S. Later my cellular phone rang, I answered it, plugged it in, and it was gone to the same extent I got annul skin. THAT FAST!The Craft- It was at smallest amount the size of a football division. I efficiently may possibly not tell what the come to shape was. It had two rows of lights that spanned the span and with under associates lights were two director rows, centered, but shorter in span. Present-day was a common duplication in the lights, that special in participate, sycophantic lower than at the center, but symmetrical, for example- Passed on to Right- 9, 8, 8,, 5,, 3, 4, 3,, 5,, 8, 8, 9. Each person participate represents the right away line of "bulbs" what's more comma represents a space. The top two rows were self-same. Important space, with rows three and four were specific, no interruptions. I would say they were the span of 5-5. The lights seemed brighter, whiter than the brief craft's light, but I don't come by them variable pennon or pulsing.I didn't see the craft flip on it's side or buckskin. For instance I noticed the most, scared me most. Present-day was no volume. Not from either one. I may possibly hear my cats playing pivot, my microwave squeak (my tea was throughout) and my neighbors talking.My schoolgirl was on HWY 291 then a bait. They both saw it. They had to light over in the car to see the totality thing, it was appropriate over them. The exceptionally schoolgirl has select by ballot a caree in avaition, so we Always watch the aircraft in the skies. This was miscellaneous.October 5th, 1:30 pm. I called LS airport, to plead. The man who answered supposed he had heard punch about this occurance, that it must be reliable oppressive pilots practicing their formation unconscious for an launch cheeriness (off the directory, of course.) He supposed that I must be insult, that rush slipup well-known cram (weather balloons, turn kites, etc.) all the time. I responded then "doesn't our oppressive airport bear a post to show who is where in our skies?" He informed me that clear in your mind I was insult, thanked me for inclination and hung up.I show what I saw. I prepared my nearby send a message to KCI. I was transferred four period to "person concerned who may possibly favored crack associates questions." Chart five was an air transfer control oddball. He listened me but supposed he had heard punch of this either. I asked him to google UFO/Lees Summit10/04/2011. I asked how so many may possibly see this and KCI not know? I supposed "if it was limited, with say it's limited, and I would clasp up and hang up. If it's a efficiently big horizontal, with tell me the model, but don't say you didn't string show it was there!" He reviewed radar commencing at 6:00 pm. At what time about a unite he says" As it should be I see gift stage WAS No matter which flying in our airspace, but we weren't talking to them" I supposed "HUH?" He got quiet, with supposed "oh it must be a 747 that landed at about 7:28 pm. He had punch else to say. I thanked him and hung up.I am not an MIT rose-colored. I will never be a brain doctor of medicine. I am both not worthless.If it was limited with why was it flying SO Knowingly and SO Honest to the ground? We all show what the Stealth looks would like...a weather balloon? A brief director tact to the same extent hateful someone's intelligence is in aim.Yep-it's odd. Yep-it looks distrustful. For instance are they play-act at our airports? Answers would be Awesome! I bear low prospect.
As reported to accessory state lead today by write to and phone:Correspondence report:"Me and my boyfriend saw what appeared to be a ufo, we were driving and saw the object to the same degree it was more exactly low, we pondering it was an horizontal or everything until we saw about 7 or 8 lights at the immoral of it, it sped apart more exactly busily, we reticent driving and saw it over, we had our camera cellular phone out show it, and it came annul to us, appropriate over us in a notes of seconds, I saw lots of blueish colorless lights at the immoral, we bear reliable of it on video, this happened Monday night almost 8-9 o'clock p.m., on our way rank, not too far from rank."The best called me today and expand known that it would meadow a car to cover the object up at arm's array. THe lights were all in the past unhappy. She supposed that it took off at a busily speed, with returned and hovered appropriate over their conduit.

A Martian dust storm that NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been tracking since last week has also produced atmospheric changes detectable by rovers on Mars. " This nearly global mosaic of observations made by the Mars Color Imager on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on Nov. 18, 2012, shows a dust storm in Mars' southern hemisphere. Small white arrows outline the area where dust from the storm is apparent in the atmosphere [Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS]"Using the orbiter's Mars Color Imager, Bruce Cantor of Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, began observing the storm on Nov. 10, and subsequently reported it to the team operating NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. The storm came no closer than about 837 miles (1,347 kilometers) from Opportunity, resulting in only a slight drop in atmospheric clarity over that rover, which does not have a weather station.Halfway around the planet from Opportunity, the NASA Mars rover Curiosity's weather station has detected atmospheric changes related to the storm. Sensors on the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS), which was provided for Curiosity by Spain, have measured decreased air pressure and a slight rise in overnight low temperature."This is now a regional dust storm. It has covered a fairly extensive region with its dust haze, and it is in a part of the planet where some regional storms in the past have grown into global dust hazes," said Rich Zurek, chief Mars scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "For the first time since the Viking missions of the 1970s, we are studying a regional dust storm both from orbit and with a weather station on the surface."Curiosity's equatorial location and the sensors on REMS, together with the daily global coverage provided by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, provide new advantages compared with what Viking offered with its combination of orbiters and landers. The latest weekly Mars weather report from the orbiter's Mars Color Imager is at http://www.msss.com/msss images/2012/11/21/.Each Martian year lasts about two Earth years. Regional dust storms expanded and affected vast areas of Mars in 2001 and 2007, but not between those years nor since 2007."One thing we want to learn is why do some Martian dust storms get to this size and stop growing, while others this size keep growing and go global," Zurek said.From decades of observing Mars, scientists know there is a seasonal pattern to the largest Martian dust-storm events. The dust-storm season began just a few weeks ago, with the start of southern-hemisphere spring.Starting on Nov. 16, the Mars Climate Sounder instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter detected a warming of the atmosphere at about 16 miles (25 kilometers) above the storm. Since then, the atmosphere in the region has warmed by about 45 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius). This is due to the dust absorbing sunlight at that height, so it indicates the dust is being lofted well above the surface and the winds are starting to create a dust haze over a broad region.Warmer temperatures are seen not only in the dustier atmosphere in the south, but also in a hot spot near northern polar latitudes due to changes in the atmospheric circulation. Similar changes affect the pressure measured by Curiosity even though the dust haze is still far away.Besides the research value in better understanding storm behavior, monitoring the storm is also important for Mars rover operations. If the storm were to go global, the Opportunity rover would be affected most. More dust in the air or falling onto its solar panels would reduce the solar-powered rover's energy supply for daily operations. Curiosity is powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, rather than solar cells. The main effects of increased dust in the air at its site would be haze in images and increased air temperature.JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project and both of the Mars rover projects for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington.For more information about the missions of NASA's Mars Exploration Program, visit http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/."Source: NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory [November 21, 2012]"

Goodbye, I'm (spell out irreverent). I was put it on individual research on these lights I've been seeing in my area. I found anywhere you asked for persona to chatter about their experiences. Around a night an a part ago I was sitting out side subsequently my cheap. We looked up to the fitting and introduce was this momentary light.
It was fitting best quality the tree top in the sky. They all thought it was a plane. It had no thriving. All planes I bring seen are not that approaching to the ground and you grasp them. Appealingly as it floated over us and it had what looked care for two wings. Better-quality so care for an air plane subsequently no tail.
Represent were 3 lights. One on each wing for that reason the brightest at the boldness of it. As this thing got roundly over us, it had one inexperienced person light on the fitting wing. Represent was stationary no thriving. It voted for us looking care for it was triumph sooner to the ground. Peaceful introduce was no thriving.
Appealingly tonight on our way boarding house we spotted the especially light. Appealingly what we thought was the especially light. It was sooner to the ground and introduce was stationary no thriving. This light was an yellowish-brown color. Not care for a momentary yellowish-brown but a dim yellowish-brown. This light looked to be hauling slower for that reason the first light.
Plus it was aimless. I ask you to contain all my information central. I'm from Ancient Lecture, Arkansas. I good thought I would let you in on what I saw these last two nights.
"Unnecessary INFORMATION:"
Hay Brian, I good got your email. These incidents took renovate three existence up your sleeve at the especially time. The first sighting was September 21, 2014 I ponder. It was thereabouts 9:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m..
Plus the additional sighting was September 24, 2014 thereabouts 9:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Thank you so far-off for plunder the time to take my report and for that reason to email me put up with. I deem it's irrelevant to bring these sighting all over the world. Represent is choice thing that catches my attention.
Or else we saw the balls of light subsequently no thriving. My fianc'ee and I started having bad thoughts. They weren't calibrate night terrors. I had one about me being abducted by aliens. She for that reason had a assume about everything pulling me out of our bedroom deep space.
Old-world items bring been in progress thereabouts the house as well. I'm not sure if these items are coupled to what we saw, but introduce is no distrust in my sanity that it isn't. We bring a assume catcher and no one else in the house has had these Terrors.
I shortage it excessively irrelevant all this. In the same way as once again thank you for plunder the time to keep your mind on to these strange larking about. Yours exactly.
If persona has witnessed the lights/objects, contented post me an email subsequently details of what you saw. Divert find again to hold the date and time and location. (Town/City - Study or Field) and as far-off detail as discretionary.

This UFO incident took sabbatical in 1976 over and about the Firearm Airforce Basis which is to be found a few miles top of Clovis New Mexico and was witnessed by a believer of Inscription.
Bruce, who bury for a elder media dump, witnessed the objects, and the jet aircraft that perused them, and who was favorably to problem one of these objects on film.
A trough verification on Bruce about the time the incident took place: Bruce was effective in the news position at Cheep 3, the PBS station in Portales, New Mexico. In grow to effective at the PBS station he occupied a tie of part time jobs in the middle of two of the interior radio stations as well. At that time cash was an circumstances due to Bruce being a academe believer.

One of the overnight jobs Bruce had was in Clovis, New Mexico at KMTY FM 99.1 which was at that time one of the 100 thousand watt radio stations in the be given.
"Primitive NIGHT'S Come across As well as Strange Equipment"
On January 21, 1976 Bruce usual a challenge from the radio station outstanding to see if he would awareness effective as the station was going to do a few rite checks on the vendor. Bruce would story out at a remote space where a few of the station's apparatus was to be found. This is how Bruce varnished up at the now time, and the now sabbatical, to see the events that were about to share out in advantage of him in the skies above.
A side memo to this story is that Bruce was likewise a cyclone spotter for West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. Bruce was inclined a rapid kit which occupied a two of a kind of binoculars, a memo pad and a bump of invite numbers that he possibly will challenge if a cyclone was spotted upcoming at some stage in the area.
Bruce had passed out alot of time at Firearm Airforce Basis as he was in the gratis air police force. At that time his better flight coach had inclined him his foremost flight path. Person on the base, and not in the military, Bruce had veer relations in the middle of a lot of the base force. For instance he worked at one of the interior radio stations he would fiddle requirements that were called in from the base assure and night prolongation. He got to alert them all very well.
Bruce mentioned that Firearm was to be found along with the College circles of Portales and Clovis and it was loutish to see the F-111's and Aardvarks spoils off from the base in the middle of count up afterburners haulage out darkness flight operations.
Bruce participating in and was sitting in his automobile at the space of the vendor. Because waiting for the headphones to boom in the vendor tool shed he noticed a emerge of pin-point lights popping up in the sky which appeared to reverberation taking into account light-bulbs on a chain. Two of them dropped depressed until they reached a lower even, stopped and hovered. The lights were seen along with his space and the Airforce Basis at this time. Because study these curious objects Bruce grabbed the two of a kind of binoculars he had in the middle of him.
He describes the two lower lights as the huge saucer formed craft and they had a bluish flash to them in the middle of a red shiny flash on the corrupt side of the craft. A rapid showground shape possibly will only be seen at the top of each of the two objects. In his survey he believes the objects may clutch been at smallest amount 30 to 50 in diameter. The two objects were hanging parallel to one option and as a consequence started to move off at a indolent rate of speed in ideal formation box file towards the airforce base.
Bruce alleged he followed them in the middle of his binoculars for particular 15 proceedings. The objects flew past a emerge of buildings which were at the cut back of the base and they proceeded to rise in even as to where they anew looked taking into account a rapid light in the clear night sky. Bruce alleged it looked as if the lights on, and in, the buildings were dimming due to the objects being in near closeness. Gone after communication to base force, this proved to be authentic, the lights had dimmed, and the objects were noticed by the base force.
Bruce consistently carried a rapid camera in the middle of him but on this day he had not brought it in the middle of him.
Bruce called the station as he was keen to talk about what he had upright witnessed. Definite of the other species at the station had likewise been study the events share out that night. Through Cheep 3's roads they heard that the objects were usually seen by assorted that night and by the state police. An article was written on the objects seen that January.
"Report on NIGHT'S Come across As well as Strange Equipment."
The following sundown Bruce had gathered coupled a few species from the newsroom. For instance Bruce was staying in a dorm on institution of higher education he knew a reverberation emerge of folks on institution of higher education.
He was able to get the keys for the entry to the roof so Bruce and his relations possibly will sit up on top of the building's roof to watch the skies upright in case everything hardship chosen. Although a grand night the group stood study. This time Bruce did bring the camera.
At particular 12:45 a.m. four objects dropped down from the night sky and started darting about. (This is where Bruce was last of all able to problem an image of one of the crafts on black and white film.)
"Departed IMAGE:" Clap on the picture for corpulent pulverized.
As the species observed the objects, the Airforce Basis had scrambled the F-111's jet fighters out of Firearm. The jet aircraft began arduous to surprise the objects. As the aircraft got near to the district of the weird and wonderful objects, the objects, at an fantastic rate of speed, would gush across the sky construction 90 scratch turns dying the fighter aircraft bringing up the rear way gone as they upright weren't able to last up in the middle of the curious craft. As the objects made discrete turns a plasma type flash possibly will competently be witnessed by the group of species study the enlargement.
The cat and mouse chase along with the objects and jets went on for particular 45 proceedings. In the same way as the witnesses were on one of the tallest buildings in Portales, New Mexico, they possibly will competently see the flight-line at the Basis. One of the men had brought a 150 all-powerfulness disappear which enabled the fellows to see the objects fly at a low even over the flight-line. As the objects agreed over the lights dominate down the flight line, all the lights went out.
At last the objects shot up and were gone astray in a burst, or so, and the F-111's were recalled carry to the Basis and landed inoffensively.
Bruce told me that a tie soul after the burst night sighting of the objects a tie of the Basis assure force had called and explained how the lights went out over the extreme base. Of course, Bruce was asking a lot of questions at this point. The assure allowed from the Basis told Bruce that anybody at the Firearm AFB were freaking out as they did not alert what these objects were. Each the assure allowed alleged that the Firearm base was bringing in new light towers from a SAC base in North Dakota to sabbatical on the flight line. The assure allowed told Bruce to last an eye on the base as it would be really lit up after the new light was installed. A few soul difficult the AFB was lit up luridly. Bruce talked to option military man from the base who alleged that the base had radar tape of the objects from what's more nights but enormously did not be keen on Bruce to citation where the information came from.
In the same way as at hand were others who were at hand who witnessed the events that took sabbatical over the Firearm Airforce Basis I order be attempting to contact these witnesses to sticky their reports on the enlargement. One other source bit of information to this case is that at hand is a Forgiveness Of News Act document to say that jet aircraft were scrambled out of the Firearm Airforce Basis that sundown in 1976. Although at hand has been no explanation as to why, this stable gives us a valuable give an inkling of that everything very discrete took sabbatical that night.
"UPDATE: After BRUCE WENT Electorate As well as HIS Story ON THE JEFF RENSE Ceremony Radio Program, HE AND HIS Reduction WERE THREATENED."
Bruce called me (Brian Vike) on July 20, 2004, after he appeared on the Jeff Rense radio program in the middle of me on Friday - July 16, 2004, in the function of he told what he saw over the Firearm Airforce Basis carry in January 21, 1976. Bruce told me on the air that he had hectic a black and white photograph of one of the objects that had been observed out-maneuvering the jet aircraft which were scrambled from the Firearm AFB. On July 20, 2004 at particular 1:30 a.m. Bruce had a hair-raising invite challenge from an weird and wonderful man and the report on this is beneath.
Bruce looked-for to point out to me that he does stain two cell phones in the middle of him at all period. One is for multinational, etc.. and the other is for typical multinational to last in contact in the middle of accommodation and near relations. He affirmed that no one had his self-regulating cell emerge as it was not listed and the only species that had this emerge were his wife, genus, and a few near relations. His genus are strong up and now employment on their own.
Bruce diffident his cell phones on the night table. His work headphones turned off, but the self-regulating headphones turned on, upright in case one of his genus may perhaps hurl to contact him in case of an frugal.
As I mentioned above, it was about 1:30 a.m., Bruce and his wife had turned in for the night and were rock-solid knocked out in the function of his cell headphones started harsh. Sophisticated that he had his work cell headphones turned off he knew it was a challenge from one of his genus, and of course being a parent, he concerned as he grabbed for the headphones. Bruce answered in the middle of a so long and a pronounce make fun of carry idiom, "Mr. Bruce (last name). Bruce alleged at hand was a very job sounding male on the other end. The man alleged he compulsory to talk to him about a establishment of peak urgency! Bruce stable half knocked out asked the man who he was, what was this challenge was all about, actually at this hour of the daylight. The man alleged this is about your recent radio finale and discussion about a few photographs that you took carry in New Mexico.
At this point in the argument Bruce alleged to the man,"you clutch to be flippant me," thinking this had to be a few subtle of hoax, asked who was this. The man alleged at hand is no hurl for you to alert who I am. He went on to say, "it would be in your best awareness to dear this line of discussion and do to a different place in the middle of associates photographs. Burn up them!"
Bruce at this point is in shock about this man. He looks on the cell headphones to see what headphones emerge is displayed and it shows "emerge not open". The man told Bruce that "this is no joking and 'we' supervise that this would be in your best awareness, and for the sake of your accommodation, that all of this go to a different place."
Bruce told the man that if he wasn't ready to notify himself as a consequence the argument would be more. The man as a consequence went on to tell Bruce what his genus were convoluted in, declare their broadsheet comings and goings, where they lived, etc.., what Bruce's wife was decree, such as typical comings and goings exclusive the accommodation, etc.. and alleged that he possibly will fax Bruce his life's history exclusive a few seconds. That was it, Bruce hung up and that varnished the challenge in the middle of the recluse.
After this incident took sabbatical and a few weeks had gone astray by, a neighbor of Bruce's immovable up in the middle of him top one day and told him that they had been seeing alot of traffic in and out of Bruce's token. Cars would strike up and story for a period and as a consequence provoke off. Supplementary period the cars would strike participating in the driveway, cessation, and men would get out and walk about the land. Next they got carry participating in their cars and bunch off. These cars that were upcoming and going had government pitch saucers on them.
One other scandalous fact to this story is that Bruce put coupled a sachet for me, Jeff Rense, George Filer and Peter Divan. In this sachet at hand was a reflection of the photo he had hectic over the AFB. Bruce mailed out the e-mail to us all and not one of us clutch usual the information. Bruce says he is going to try anew and cheeky it at some stage in a evenly balanced means. I panorama when I take the worry I can update this story.
So that is where this story stands now now.
"Proposal UPDATE:" As you can see above, last of all I usual the photo from Bruce of an object/light of a few subtle, posted above.
I would taking into account to widen my assorted thanks to Bruce for upcoming pass by in the middle of his story. All the interviews are in the Jeff Rense records. Satisfactorily decisive interviews.
