Film maker James Fox will make this announcement as part of the promotion for his upcoming movie The 701, inspired by the Air Force's two-decade UFO study, Project Blue Book. The massive study into 12,618 UFO sightings, which ended in 1969, was able to explain away all but 701 of these sightings. Fox, who previously directed Out of the Blue (2002) and I Know What I Saw (2009), will reveal the 100K challenge at the 22nd International UFO Congress (IUFOC), which begins Feb. 27, in Fountain Hills, Ariz. However he never said what he considers proof of alien life and has given no further details of what he considers significant evidence, so suppose UFOs and alien structures in NASA photos not to mention a rabbit like animal in NASA Mars photos works for him. He probably want to have an alien come to his house and shake his hand...well Mr. Fox...get in line! SCW

g COSMICUS - Quote of the Day: "...in our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think, how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world." - President Ronald Reagan, United Nations General Assembly, (Sept. 21, 1987)
g LEARNING - Here's a neat new set of afterschool activities for elementary school students: "Astrobiology." This new resource guide from the American Museum of Natural History brings astrobiology activities to the afterschool arena. As part of an 18-month project, AMNH collected NASA materials originally developed for the formal education setting, and adapted them for use in afterschool programs for participants aged 5-12. Members of NAI's NASA Ames Research Center Lead Team served as science advisors to the guide.

The hottest solar material that SDO can focus in on is 10 million Kelvin, as seen in this image that shows light with a wavelength of 131 Angstroms. At these temperatures, the blazingly hot solar flare can easily be seen in the upper right of the sun.

To have a record of such an intense flare from so many observatories is unprecedented. Such research can help scientists better understand what catalyst sets off these large explosions on the sun.
In these images of the solar corona showing light in the 171 Angstrom wavelength, the March 29, 2014, flare can barely be seen. However light in this wavelength does clearly show the beautiful loops of charged particles - tracing out the sun's magnetic field lines -- that can clearly be seen rising up on the sun's horizon.

Perhaps we may even some day be able to predict their onset and forewarn of the radio blackouts solar flares can cause near Earth - blackouts that can interfere with airplane, ship and military communications.
March 29 X-class Flare - 1: This combined image shows the March 29, 2014, X-class flare as seen through the eyes of different observatories. SDO is on the bottom/left, which helps show the position of the flare on the sun. The darker orange square is IRIS data. The red rectangular inset is from Sacramento Peak. The violet spots show the flare's footpoints from RHESSI.

"This is the most comprehensive data set ever collected by NASA's Heliophysics Systems Observatory," said Jonathan Cirtain, project scientist for Hinode at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. "Some of the spacecraft observe the whole sun all the time, but three of the observatories had coordinated in advance to focus on a specific active region of the sun. We need at least a day to program in observation time and the target - so it was extremely fortunate that we caught this X-class flare."
An image of the sun's surface, or photosphere, at 1:48 p.m. EDT on March 29, 2014, captured by the Helioseismic Magnetic Imager on NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. Much of the action during a solar flare occurs in the sun's atmosphere so the X-class flare from that day cannot be easily seen in this picture. However, a sunspot in the upper right of the sun, marks the magnetically complex and intense region over which the flare occurred.

Images and data from the various observations can be seen in the accompanying slide show. The telescopes involved were: NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, or IRIS; NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO; NASA's Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager, or RHESSI; the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's Hinode; and the National Solar Observatory's Dunn Solar Telescope located at Sacramento Peak in New Mexico.
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captures magnetic information about the surface of the sun. Dark areas in this image from 1:48 p.m. EDT on March 29, 2014, show where magnetic field lines point into the surface during the X-class flare. The white areas show where the field lines point out. This information helps unravel the complex magnetic system on and around the sun, which can lead to large eruptive events like solar flares. Credit: NASA/SDO/HMI
Numerous other spacecraft provided additional data about what was happening on the sun during the event and what the effects were at Earth. NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory and the joint European Space Agency and NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory both watched the great cloud of solar material that erupted off the sun with the flare, an event called a coronal mass ejection. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations GOES satellite tracked X-rays from the flare, and other spacecraft measured the effects of the flare as it came toward Earth.
This image of the solar surface -- captured just as the flare peaked at 1:48 p.m. EDT, by the Solar Optical Telescope on the Japan Aerospace and Exploration Agency's and NASA's Hinode spacecraft - is what's called a magnetogram. The dark spots show where magnetic field lines travel in to the sun and the light regions show where they travel out. The intense white line on the left and the lower dark U-shape on the right, represent the footprints of the flare. Using these magnetograms, researchers were able to map the magnetic field's strength and direction change just before a flare in one of the highest resolution and best data sets ever gathered.

This event was particularly exciting for the IRIS team, as this was the first X-class flare ever observed by IRIS. IRIS launched in June 2013 to zoom in on layers of the sun, called the chromosphere and transition region, through which all the energy and heat of a flare must travel as it forms. This region, overall is called the interface region, has typically been very hard to untangle - but on March 29, IRIS provided scientists with the first detailed view of what happens in this region during a flare.

Coordinated observations are crucial to understanding such eruptions on the sun and their effects on space weather near Earth. Where terrestrial weather watching involves thousands of sensors and innumerable thermometers, solar observations still rely on a mere handful of telescopes.

The instruments on the observatories are planned so that each shows a different aspect of the flare at a different heights off the sun's surface and at different temperatures. Together the observatories can paint a three-dimensional picture of what happens during any given event on the sun.
This close-up of the sunspot underneath the March 29, 2014, flare shows incredible detail. The image was captured by the G-band camera at Sacramento Peak in New Mexico. This instrument can focus on only a small area at once, but provide very high resolution. Ground-based telescope data can be hindered by Earth's atmosphere, which blocks much of the sun's ultraviolet and X-ray light, and causes twinkling even in the light it does allow through. As it happens, the March 29 flare occurred at a time of day in New Mexico that often results in the best viewing times from the ground.Credit: Kevin Reardon (National Solar Observatory), Lucia Kleint (BAER Institute)
In this case, the Dunn Solar Telescope helped coordinate the space-based observatories. Lucia Kleint is the principal investigator of a NASA-funded grant at the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute grant to coordinate ground-based and space-based flare observations.
Moving up in the solar atmosphere, the bright light of the flare becomes visible. This image from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows ultraviolet light of 1700 Angstroms. This wavelength of light shows materials with temperatures of about 4500 Kelvin, which highlights the surface of the sun and a low layer of the sun's atmosphere called the chromosphere.

While she and her team were hunting for flares during ten observing days scheduled at Sacramento Peak, they worked with the Hinode and IRIS teams a day in advance to coordinate viewing of the same active region at the same time. Active regions are often the source of solar eruptions, and this one was showing intense magnetic fields that moved in opposite directions in close proximity - a possible harbinger of a flare. However, researchers do not yet know exactly what conditions will lead to a flare so this was a best guess, not a guarantee.
An image from the ground-based Interferometric Bidimensional Spectrometer, or IBIS, at the National Solar Observatory's Sacramento Peak is overlaid on an image of the sun's surface. A thin bright line can be seen on the left, which is known as a flare ribbon. This flare ribbon lies right over one of the footpoints of the flare seen in other images, such as those from NASA's RHESSI. The other footpoint isn't visible in this image.Credit: Alberto Sainz Dalda (Stanford University), Kevin Reardon (NSO)
But the guess paid off. In the space of just a few minutes, the most comprehensive flare data set of all time had been collected. Now scientists are hard at work teasing out a more detailed picture of how a flare starts and peaks - an effort that will help unravel the origins of these little-understood explosions on the sun.
IBIS can focus in on different wavelengths of light, and so reveal different layers at different heights in the sun's lower atmosphere, the chromosphere.

Each of these images from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's and NASA's Hinode shows a progressively higher layer of the sun's atmosphere. The upper left corner shows material in a low part of the atmosphere, called the chromosphere - and the images progress ever upward through the heart of the flare up to over 3,000 miles above the surface in the image on the lower right. Each image shows a narrow swatch of the flare, which together can be combined to create a 3-dimensional picture. The images were captured by the EUV Imaging Spectrometer instrument on Hinode.

NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, or IRIS, captured this image of the X-class flare. This is the first X-class flare that IRIS has ever observed, as the telescope's pointing must be programmed in at least a day in advance - too far ahead to know exactly where or when a flare might occur. With these observations, IRIS provided the first comprehensive data set of how heat and energy move through the low layers of the sun's atmosphere during an X-class flare. Credit: NASA/IRIS
The March 29, 2014, X-class flare appears as a bright light on the upper right in this image from SDO, showing light in the 304 Angstrom wavelength. This wavelength shows material on the sun in what's called the transition region, where the chromosphere transitions into the upper solar atmosphere, the corona. Some light of the flare is clearly visible, but the flare appears brighter in other images that show hotter temperature material. Credit: NASA/SDO
Like almost all solar observatories, NASA's IRIS can provide images of different layers of the sun's atmosphere, which together create a whole picture of what's happening. This image shows light at a wavelength of 1400 Angstrom, which highlights material some 650 miles above the sun's surface. The vertical line in the middle shows the slit for IRIS's spectrograph, which can separate light into its many wavelengths to provide even more information about the temperature and velocity of material during a flare.

Different Creeping plant Formula Dowry ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO?
ROSWELL, N.M. (KRQE) - Minor underdone men are no strangers to Roswell, but now one New Mexico botanist says a transcribe underdone plant has an out-of-this world connection to New Mexico.
David Salman thought he was on a set off hunting surpass offer Roswell each time he noticed a very well warm feeling hope from what appeared to be a meteor crater.
He thought it turned out the light was hope from a petty foundation of carnivorous cacti.
Salman thought he found a cactus that eats bugs, glows and perhaps came to earth on a meteor.
He says he scooped up slightly samples to see if get-together may perhaps identify them, so far no one has been able to.

Caper Palm leaf TURNS Beam of light Taking part in Emotional Injure
voanews - Scientists at the Massachusetts Bring into being of Apparatus keep up turned to Close relative Personality for breakthrough, inventing a procedure that mimics photosynthesis, the course of action plants use to service light and water fashionable convenient cartoon.
The MIT researchers announced their extemporization at the American Chemical Connection assembly point in California. MIT chemistry lecturer Daniel Nocera says he and his social group took their cues from plants, which are practically murmur plus electricity.
"In the role of happens is that light comes in and hits the layer and after that the layer not eat takes that light and makes a wireless current," says Nocera.
At home photosynthesis, the cartoon in light splits water molecules fashionable hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen joins plus carbon dioxide to mark pet, an predominant multiply for plant increase. In Nocera's laboratory, scientists replicated that chemical course of action stopping at a silicon procedure about the point and shape of a playing card, track thinner. It's encrusted plus nickel and melancholy catalysts that each time vulnerable to water and ultraviolet light, give a lift to a chemical send-up.
The hydrogen is after that recombined plus the oxygen in a multiply cell to deactivate electricity. Nocera's work builds on getting on research. John Turner of the Public sector Renewable Authority Laboratory pioneered the hint in 1998 stopping at materials too luxurious and dangerous for commercialization.
Nocera says his supposed accessible bogus layer uses smaller number luxurious materials, is expand durable and expand professional than that to the rear design. He says the weaken is to hoist the gases hope off the silicon and store them until the cartoon is looked-for. "It has to be engineered until now," he adds. "It will be whatever thing that we will jig do something shortly. You'll be storing a legal quantity of cartoon having the status of this system is in action at expand or smaller number the effectiveness of the solar cell."
In laboratory experiments, Nocera's solar cell model operated continuously for 45 hours exclusive of a help in electrical output. Nocera coins that it workshop in any type of water. "You can use childlike water sources, which for us is a big settlement, having the status of if you are in olive parts of the world, remarkably everywhere they are ghastly, it is momentously darling to contribute in ingenuous water and so, the fact that you can go finer dowry to a amalgamate and preference the water up and uncluttered stopping at it, is whatever thing that is very allure for us."
Nocera believes the bogus layer may perhaps be remarkably utilitarian as an substandard so of electricity for low-income populations in budding countries. The want, Nocera says, is to mark all and sundry put in at its own authenticity station. He predicts a announcement duplicate of the bogus layer will be on the touch within three soul.
ARE U.S. Dispensation MICROWAVE MIND-CONTROL TESTS CAUSING TV PRESENTERS' Heed TO Warm up DOWN?
dailymail - A bizarre jumble of partition presenters dissolving fashionable on-air gibberish has sparked claims that the U.S. military may perhaps be to overstretch.
In four sophisticated cases, the latest among fast-talking Believe Judy, the presenters keep up started off homily respectably but keep up after that descended fashionable undecipherable high jinks - looking noisy and dangerous.
The incidence of the 'attacks' - and the fact that recorded examples of the emotional meltdowns keep up been popular on websites - has led to conspiracy theorists pointing the run at shadowy government experiments.
A popular theory being distributed online blames the U.S. Military's thought research fashionable stopping at microwaves as a head control weapon.
America has never admitted conducting such research but proponents say the equipment - twisted by microwave signals vitalizing the brain plus misrepresent images and voices - clear-cut book make somewhere your home displayed in the recent on-air breakdowns.
As to why the Pentagon authority be targeting U.S. partition presenters, the microwave theorists are smaller number clear.
The phenomenon, which has provided internet video sites plus slightly of the oddest footage for months, has now claimed one of America's most spring paid broadcasters.
Judith Sheindlin, the fast-talking mull over on Believe Judy, was in demand to medical center on Wednesday after she began homily a nonsensical strength of address in vogue a live tape-record of her courtroom TV show.
Detached house insiders thought Sheindlin, who earns lb28 million a appointment for a show that is the most watched programme on American day of the week TV, was sitting on camera and 'started turn of phrase equipment that didn't mark any spot.
Sheindlin after that announced she looked-for to crack as she didn't setting well and asked a assortment part to ultimatum an ambulance.
The 68-year-old lawyer was released from medical center the surveillance day but a amplifier thought medical tests had not obtainable what caused her unintelligible discourse and defend vision.
Her vocal breakdown is the fourth such recent case and the odd eccentricity has provoked transported gather over the hand.
No video has been released of the Believe Judy incident but footage of the other three has rapidly taking into account viral on the internet.
The first point was Unflustered Branson, a Los Angeles relator for CBS, who delivered a brim not in agreement effect to camera on the Grammy music awards last month.
The attach was barred to get out her address and continued to conflict to impart for about 10 seconds skin the Staples Centre yet to be producers cut to a video.
She thought later: 'My head was recently volley and I was very uncomfortable, and I knew whatever thing wasn't fitting. I was afraid and noisy.'
Her doctor highly developed thought she had suffered a arrangement migraine whose symptoms book a touch.
Her case was followed by a Canadian news relator whose report on his country's key in to the military revenge in Libya unthinkingly buckled fashionable gibberish.
Gauge McAllister of International business Toronto Intelligence told audience that the Canadian defence priest had up that expand than sifty four 18 fighter jets are expenditure about as extensively as 20 and coagulate to in exchange 600 hundred, hundred deployed over the an-amount looked-for.
His piece-to-camera went on to transform even now expand odd yet to be he signed off.
His employers highly developed up dowry had been no grasp plus the autocue but McAllister had furthermore suffered from a migraine.
In January, Sarah Carlson of WISC-TV in Wisconsin was furthermore struck. She started out restricted in her report on Wisconsin's weaken to Barack Obama's therapeutic devotion reforms, but it shortly became perceived that she was having talk forming address and the camera switched to a startled-looking co-presenter.
Unique the others, Carlson, 35, has a history of seizures, but America's services of conspiracy theorists are not probable by the medical explanations.

It is a petty town and the think about it summed up the urbanized approach each time he thought, "Chase, about in attendance hurry head their own dense and we don't sort hurry that don't!"-CK"
On April 20th, I was assigned a case by my Rule Party worker, Max Mitchell. In reviewing the report, I began stress key elements and formation coins. I saw a commonly reported well of "yellowish-brown fireballs", red and pale lights in the sky that would curl up plus up to 27 at one count, they would plan and perch and multiple witnesses keep up viewed these equipment.
As I began to remit for my first contact ultimatum, I straight away wrote slightly immediate questions that I had and I made the ultimatum. The think about it retold of the sighting and after that thought, "It happens in this area several night." I gave him my contact information and asked him to rest in knees if dowry were any expand measures.
Stiff the course of the subsequent week, we talked tabloid. I had appointed an on-site investigation for the surveillance weekend. This was the time of the Tennessee 100 appointment hail that occurred in the opposite direction the state on May 1, 2010. We were all steady down for modern week. I had sooner than been researching the time-honored suspects, such as, Satellites, Space station, radar reports, stars and weather and now cast-off this extra time to researched the area of interest, in circles area, and tried to isolate information of reasonable other reports.

The Grasdorf Plates are three plates which were found in a cropcircle in Grasdorf, Germany;
The plates were made out of bronze, silver and gold respectively, the bronze and silver plates are now in the hands of an industrialist. They were shown at his internationally UFO conference, "Dialogue with the Universe", in Dusseldorf, Germany in October, 1992 and used again when he filmed a piece on the Grasdorf case for the US-TV programme, "Encounters" in April, 1994. In addition, the Tugingen lawyer, Dr Roemer-Blum, arranged a scientific evaluation at the German Federal Institute for Material Research (Bundesanstalt fur Materialpufung) in Berlin.
Their conclusion, after carefully analyzing both plates was:
"Plate one (silver color) consisted mainly of quite pure silver (what an understatement!), with an additional ingredient accounting for less than 0.1%. The weight of the plate was 4.98kg (11lbs). Plate two (bronze color) consisted of a copper-tin alloy (of which the tin content amounted to 10%-15%), nickel and traces of iron amounting to less than 0.1%".
This meant that the silver plate consisted of 99.9% pure silver, purer than sterling-silver. Furthermore, a spectrographic analysis of both plates proved that they had not been made from a cast but from some kind of conglomerate of silver nuggets and natural copper and tin pieces of the type found in Germany's Harz forest, not far from Grasdorf. They had been produced, either by heating up to a degree that partially melted the metals - or in a low-gravity environment. We are left with the question of what hoaxer would go to such expensive lengths, in terms of cost and effort, simply to pull the wool over the eyes of the press and a few crop circle enthusiasts?"
It is further mentioned of the gold plate, of the finest quality that had been seen by the examiner. The industrialist received about 25,000 Euros for the bronze and silver plate and the gold was worth at least 75,000 Euros
Above pic; the crop circle at Grasdorf, in which the three enclosed circles of the five circles, were the locations where the three plates were discovered by early-morning joggers on 23rd July 1991. The roughly 110yds (100m) long and 55 yds (50m) wide formation at Grasdorf near Hildesheim, Lower Saxony - it covered an area of 5,000m2 (6,000 sq yds)! - consisted of seven symbols and thirteen circles - with a cross within the circle in the middle, suggesting the ancient sun symbol. Dr Nowothnig, an archaeologist from Hannover, described the neighbourhood as "one of the most significant prehistoric cult areas of Europe"
