1 00:00:07,820 --> 00:00:05,570 hello it's Monday June 12th 2017 you are 2 00:00:10,669 --> 00:00:07,830 listening to inception Radio Network 3 00:00:15,289 --> 00:00:10,679 voice of the fringe majority this is 4 00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:15,299 Carol Carl with UFO headline news how 5 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:17,430 about a little Big Dipper viewing in the 6 00:00:23,929 --> 00:00:20,250 sky tonight well you can do that Deborah 7 00:00:25,460 --> 00:00:23,939 bird from Earth sky org offers tonight 8 00:00:27,769 --> 00:00:25,470 assuming you're in the northern 9 00:00:30,740 --> 00:00:27,779 hemisphere you can find the legendary 10 00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:30,750 Big Dipper asterism it says here that 11 00:00:35,420 --> 00:00:32,550 you gentle listeners across the pond 12 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:35,430 call it the plow it's a familiar star 13 00:00:39,369 --> 00:00:37,530 pattern high in the North during the 14 00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:39,379 evening hours in the month of June 15 00:00:43,490 --> 00:00:41,910 although the Big Dipper can also be seen 16 00:00:46,010 --> 00:00:43,500 from the southern tropics at nightfall 17 00:00:48,170 --> 00:00:46,020 it's going to reside much lower in the 18 00:00:51,260 --> 00:00:48,180 northern sky closer to the horizon 19 00:00:53,330 --> 00:00:51,270 Polaris that North Star disappears 20 00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:53,340 beneath the horizon once you get south 21 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:54,239 of the earth's equator 22 00:00:59,090 --> 00:00:56,250 you can following the Big Dipper pretty 23 00:01:00,770 --> 00:00:59,100 easily because unlike the shapes one 24 00:01:03,049 --> 00:01:00,780 season a lot of asterisms and 25 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:03,059 constellations in this case the Big 26 00:01:08,810 --> 00:01:06,210 Dipper really resembles a Dipper less 27 00:01:10,910 --> 00:01:08,820 familiar tougher to find is that Little 28 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:10,920 Dipper and here's how you can find that 29 00:01:15,859 --> 00:01:14,010 from the northerly latitudes locate the 30 00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:15,869 Big Dipper in the northern sky during 31 00:01:21,859 --> 00:01:18,240 the evening hours notice the Big Dipper 32 00:01:24,020 --> 00:01:21,869 has two parts a bowl and a handle see 33 00:01:26,179 --> 00:01:24,030 the two outer stars in that bowl those 34 00:01:27,469 --> 00:01:26,189 stars are called the pointers because 35 00:01:29,929 --> 00:01:27,479 they point to the North Star 36 00:01:32,179 --> 00:01:29,939 also known as Polaris once you found 37 00:01:35,330 --> 00:01:32,189 Polaris you can find the Little Dipper 38 00:01:38,210 --> 00:01:35,340 Polaris marks the end of the handle of 39 00:01:40,490 --> 00:01:38,220 that Little Dipper and as this article 40 00:01:42,499 --> 00:01:40,500 notes you're going to need a dark sky to 41 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:42,509 see that Little Dipper in full because 42 00:01:46,819 --> 00:01:44,490 it's so much fainter than its larger 43 00:01:49,370 --> 00:01:46,829 brighter counterpart and so the bottom 44 00:01:52,429 --> 00:01:49,380 line here look for the Big Dipper high 45 00:01:55,340 --> 00:01:52,439 in the north at nightfall something else 46 00:01:58,249 --> 00:01:55,350 very high in the sky it's a moon for the 47 00:02:00,620 --> 00:01:58,259 third-largest dwarf planet this is also 48 00:02:02,690 --> 00:02:00,630 from Earth's sky calm Deborah bird 49 00:02:06,289 --> 00:02:02,700 writes this for their science division 50 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:06,299 so many moons with the discovery of a 51 00:02:13,130 --> 00:02:10,890 moon for 2007 or10 it seems evident that 52 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:13,140 most known dwarf planets in the Kuiper 53 00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,010 belt 54 00:02:20,149 --> 00:02:16,560 larger than 600 miles across are known 55 00:02:22,490 --> 00:02:20,159 now to have companions astronomers have 56 00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:22,500 found a moon for the Kuiper belt object 57 00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:26,310 known as 2007 Oh our 10 this object is 58 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:28,769 one of several of the uncounted icy 59 00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:31,170 bodies in that region of space beyond 60 00:02:35,420 --> 00:02:33,209 the outermost major planet Neptune 61 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:35,430 that's been categorized as a dwarf 62 00:02:40,369 --> 00:02:38,010 planet that's because it's relatively 63 00:02:43,220 --> 00:02:40,379 big the third biggest dwarf planet known 64 00:02:45,259 --> 00:02:43,230 after Pluto and Eris the new moons 65 00:02:47,390 --> 00:02:45,269 discovery means that most of the known 66 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:47,400 dwarf planets in the Kuiper belt larger 67 00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:50,250 than 600 miles or 1,000 kilometers 68 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:53,760 across do have companions astronomers 69 00:02:57,619 --> 00:02:55,170 are using this discovery as a 70 00:02:59,509 --> 00:02:57,629 springboard for contemplating what must 71 00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:59,519 have been happening billions of years 72 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:01,920 ago when our Sun and it's planets were 73 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:03,930 young they're thinking about how 74 00:03:08,509 --> 00:03:06,090 collisions between solar system bodies 75 00:03:10,970 --> 00:03:08,519 which often create craters like those we 76 00:03:14,420 --> 00:03:10,980 see on Earth's moon can also create 77 00:03:18,589 --> 00:03:14,430 binary objects that is planets or dwarf 78 00:03:20,059 --> 00:03:18,599 planets or even asteroids with moans the 79 00:03:22,129 --> 00:03:20,069 team's results appear in a new 80 00:03:24,020 --> 00:03:22,139 peer-reviewed expressed journal that 81 00:03:25,909 --> 00:03:24,030 lets authors publish on a shorter than 82 00:03:28,449 --> 00:03:25,919 usual timeframe it's in the 83 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:28,459 Astrophysical Journal Letters 84 00:03:33,979 --> 00:03:32,010 observation taken of 2007 Oh our ten by 85 00:03:35,869 --> 00:03:33,989 the famous planet-hunting Kepler space 86 00:03:38,420 --> 00:03:35,879 telescope first tipped off the 87 00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:38,430 astronomers of the possibility of a moon 88 00:03:44,689 --> 00:03:41,190 circling it Kepler had revealed an 89 00:03:48,530 --> 00:03:44,699 unusually slow rotation period 45 hours 90 00:03:52,629 --> 00:03:48,540 for 2007 oh are can enter an individual 91 00:03:56,780 --> 00:03:52,639 named Shaba kiss that spelled c s a BA 92 00:03:58,099 --> 00:03:56,790 kis s kiss is of the conchal observatory 93 00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:58,109 in Budapest Hungary 94 00:04:02,259 --> 00:04:00,239 lead author of the paper announcing the 95 00:04:05,180 --> 00:04:02,269 moon's discovery here's the quote 96 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:05,190 typical rotation periods for Kuiper belt 97 00:04:09,979 --> 00:04:08,250 objects are under 24 hours the slower 98 00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:09,989 rotation period could have been caused 99 00:04:15,770 --> 00:04:12,959 by the gravitational tug of a moon and 100 00:04:17,479 --> 00:04:15,780 quotes so the astronomers then search 101 00:04:19,969 --> 00:04:17,489 for that moon in the Hubble Space 102 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:19,979 Telescope's archival images they were 103 00:04:26,870 --> 00:04:24,330 looking for 2007 o r10 and that's when 104 00:04:27,890 --> 00:04:26,880 they spotted it in two separate Hubble 105 00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:27,900 observations by 106 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:30,180 a year apart the images show that the 107 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:33,930 moon is gravitationally bound to 2007 o 108 00:04:39,020 --> 00:04:36,720 r10 because it moves with the dwarf 109 00:04:41,719 --> 00:04:39,030 planet as seen against a background of 110 00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:41,729 stars later the astronomers calculated 111 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:45,360 the diameters of both 2007 Oh are 10 and 112 00:04:50,570 --> 00:04:48,210 its moon based on observations in far 113 00:04:53,180 --> 00:04:50,580 infrared light and they use the Herschel 114 00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:53,190 Space Observatory for that the dwarf 115 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,400 planet is about 950 miles 1,500 116 00:05:02,390 --> 00:04:58,800 kilometers across and the moon is 117 00:05:04,909 --> 00:05:02,400 estimated to be 150 miles to 250 miles 118 00:05:08,029 --> 00:05:04,919 that's up to about 400 kilometers in 119 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:08,039 diameter earth and contrast is about 120 00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:10,050 eight thousand miles or thirteen 121 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:12,630 thousand miles across we did not know 122 00:05:18,969 --> 00:05:16,289 that and hikes so here is ye olde bottom 123 00:05:22,820 --> 00:05:18,979 line with the discovery of a moon for 124 00:05:23,779 --> 00:05:22,830 2007 Oh our 10 most known dwarf planets 125 00:05:26,510 --> 00:05:23,789 in the Kuiper belt 126 00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:26,520 larger than 600 miles across now are 127 00:05:33,740 --> 00:05:30,240 known to have companions companions to 128 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:33,750 ease that loneliness of space how about 129 00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:36,330 we make that the littered loneliness of 130 00:05:42,350 --> 00:05:38,880 space that'll segue right into this next 131 00:05:45,710 --> 00:05:42,360 headline if we don't act soon space junk 132 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:45,720 might trap us on earth the tiny pieces 133 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:47,490 of junk orbiting the Earth could have a 134 00:05:52,909 --> 00:05:50,370 major impact on space exploration 135 00:05:55,129 --> 00:05:52,919 oh we think there's a pun embedded in 136 00:05:57,230 --> 00:05:55,139 that second headline but this gets a 137 00:06:00,409 --> 00:05:57,240 byline for Sophie Weiner Popular 138 00:06:02,510 --> 00:06:00,419 Mechanics calm space division not 139 00:06:05,810 --> 00:06:02,520 everything we send into space comes back 140 00:06:08,420 --> 00:06:05,820 down in fact there are millions of 141 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:08,430 pieces of junk ranging from tiny flecks 142 00:06:12,860 --> 00:06:11,370 of paint to entire satellites currently 143 00:06:16,219 --> 00:06:12,870 taking up space around the Earth's 144 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:16,229 atmosphere as of now space agencies are 145 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:20,250 already tracking 750,000 pieces of space 146 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:23,250 debris orbiting the Earth this space 147 00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:26,010 pollution is a major problem because of 148 00:06:31,129 --> 00:06:28,440 how fast objects orbiting Earth travel 149 00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:31,139 even a paint Fleck a few millimeters 150 00:06:35,750 --> 00:06:33,120 long can cause serious damage when it 151 00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:35,760 hits something the more that this space 152 00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:37,680 junk proliferate the harder and harder 153 00:06:41,210 --> 00:06:40,409 it will be to send anything up into 154 00:06:43,250 --> 00:06:41,220 space 155 00:06:45,980 --> 00:06:43,260 we could literally trap ourselves on 156 00:06:47,750 --> 00:06:45,990 earth if we're not careful luckily 157 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:47,760 scientists are working on ways to 158 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:49,890 prevent this there's a NASA program 159 00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:52,770 called space debris elimination that 160 00:06:57,860 --> 00:06:55,110 program proposes shooting atmospheric 161 00:07:00,050 --> 00:06:57,870 gases into space to destabilize the 162 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:00,060 debris x' orbit and send it plummeting 163 00:07:04,250 --> 00:07:01,770 back to earth where it will burn up in 164 00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:04,260 our atmosphere another proposal from the 165 00:07:09,020 --> 00:07:06,960 European Space Agency tackles the larger 166 00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:09,030 pieces of debris the old satellites 167 00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:11,910 their idea is to send a machine into 168 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:15,840 space called the E - D orbit which would 169 00:07:19,910 --> 00:07:18,210 literally shoot a net at old satellites 170 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:19,920 and drag them back into the atmosphere 171 00:07:25,190 --> 00:07:23,130 using a small rocket neither of these 172 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:25,200 solutions would address the millions of 173 00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:27,330 tiny bits of trash floating around the 174 00:07:33,170 --> 00:07:30,000 earth so the best idea for now is to 175 00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:33,180 prevent more from building up if not 176 00:07:37,850 --> 00:07:35,520 according to this article by Sophie 177 00:07:40,940 --> 00:07:37,860 Weiner we could find ourselves trapped 178 00:07:43,580 --> 00:07:40,950 in a prison of our own making and in 179 00:07:44,660 --> 00:07:43,590 other space news we grabbed an article 180 00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:44,670 from MarketWatch 181 00:07:50,450 --> 00:07:48,510 byline for Eureka do shmulik mining this 182 00:07:53,810 --> 00:07:50,460 asteroid between Mars and Jupiter 183 00:07:55,570 --> 00:07:53,820 could net hold on 10-thousand 184 00:07:58,610 --> 00:07:55,580 quadrillion dollars 185 00:08:02,080 --> 00:07:58,620 well Eureka describes that as ten 186 00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:02,090 thousand with 15 zeros after it 187 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:04,110 scientists are interested in the 188 00:08:09,770 --> 00:08:07,410 metallic composition of the 16 Saiki 189 00:08:13,670 --> 00:08:09,780 asteroid and of course that's like 190 00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:13,680 psyche the goddess psyche psy CH II NASA 191 00:08:18,290 --> 00:08:15,360 said this asteroid is made of rock 192 00:08:20,060 --> 00:08:18,300 metals and other elements a common 193 00:08:21,590 --> 00:08:20,070 element of course in science fiction 194 00:08:23,630 --> 00:08:21,600 films is asteroids 195 00:08:26,659 --> 00:08:23,640 you're either blowing them up landing on 196 00:08:29,450 --> 00:08:26,669 them living inside them or mining them 197 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:29,460 for profit that last cliche might 198 00:08:33,709 --> 00:08:31,650 actually become reality in the near 199 00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:33,719 future next to one of the latest NASA 200 00:08:39,860 --> 00:08:37,680 missions which is to research 16 psyche 201 00:08:42,260 --> 00:08:39,870 that asteroid orbiting the Sun between 202 00:08:45,770 --> 00:08:42,270 Mars and Jupiter this asteroid has a 203 00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:45,780 diameter of about 135 miles and it's 204 00:08:50,150 --> 00:08:47,760 mostly comprised of precious metals 205 00:08:53,660 --> 00:08:50,160 which makes it a veritable treasure 206 00:08:54,740 --> 00:08:53,670 trove if all of its metals nickel iron 207 00:08:58,190 --> 00:08:54,750 platinum 208 00:09:01,040 --> 00:08:58,200 iridium and rhenium that spelled Rhen I 209 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:01,050 um could somehow be extracted and sold 210 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:03,650 on earth they would fetch a price of 211 00:09:11,870 --> 00:09:08,010 10000 quadrillion how much is that well 212 00:09:13,850 --> 00:09:11,880 add 15 zeroes to ten thousand and you're 213 00:09:15,830 --> 00:09:13,860 there unfortunately 214 00:09:17,810 --> 00:09:15,840 bringing all that bling to earth is out 215 00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:17,820 of the question first we still don't 216 00:09:22,130 --> 00:09:19,680 have the technology that would enable us 217 00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:22,140 to haul that mass and land it safely on 218 00:09:26,690 --> 00:09:24,720 earth the very mining of the asteroid 219 00:09:28,660 --> 00:09:26,700 and then the transporting of it in 220 00:09:31,850 --> 00:09:28,670 chunks might also prove problematic 221 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:31,860 since we haven't invented space mines 222 00:09:37,250 --> 00:09:35,010 yet finally even if we found a way to 223 00:09:39,860 --> 00:09:37,260 haul it all back to earth the sudden 224 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:39,870 rise in supply on the market would cause 225 00:09:44,060 --> 00:09:42,330 prices to plummet which would severely 226 00:09:45,890 --> 00:09:44,070 affect the bottom line of the space 227 00:09:47,860 --> 00:09:45,900 miners and put the long-term 228 00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:47,870 profitability of the entire operation 229 00:09:53,660 --> 00:09:51,360 into question and that's why NASA isn't 230 00:09:56,210 --> 00:09:53,670 really considering profits as a main 231 00:09:58,340 --> 00:09:56,220 motivation for this mission scientists 232 00:10:01,640 --> 00:09:58,350 are nevertheless interested in the 233 00:10:03,740 --> 00:10:01,650 metallic composition of 16 Saiki because 234 00:10:07,579 --> 00:10:03,750 its structure closely resembles the one 235 00:10:11,090 --> 00:10:07,589 found within planetary nuclei 16 psyche 236 00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:11,100 might actually be a metallic core of a 237 00:10:16,090 --> 00:10:13,710 planet twice its diameter that for some 238 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:16,100 reason just didn't finish its formation 239 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:18,930 another curiosity here is the presence 240 00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:21,210 of water the most likely source of which 241 00:10:25,579 --> 00:10:23,040 may be frequent collisions with smaller 242 00:10:27,860 --> 00:10:25,589 asteroids containing hydrogen carbon or 243 00:10:29,990 --> 00:10:27,870 ice the proposed research would be 244 00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:30,000 conducted by using a robotic vehicle 245 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:33,120 dubbed psyche orbiter the spacecraft 246 00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:35,010 would orbit the asteroid for six months 247 00:10:39,140 --> 00:10:37,470 study its topography gravity magnetism 248 00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:39,150 and other features 249 00:10:45,260 --> 00:10:43,320 this research is invaluable much of what 250 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:45,270 we know about our own planets metallic 251 00:10:50,329 --> 00:10:47,850 core which is unreachable below rocky 252 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:50,339 Mantle's and crust that's still mainly 253 00:10:56,329 --> 00:10:53,970 theoretical by studying 16 psyche which 254 00:10:58,430 --> 00:10:56,339 actually could be an exposed planetary 255 00:11:00,710 --> 00:10:58,440 core scientists would gain an 256 00:11:03,260 --> 00:11:00,720 unprecedented insight into complex 257 00:11:06,260 --> 00:11:03,270 processes associated with the formation 258 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:06,270 of terrestrial planets this mission is 259 00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:08,610 scheduled to launch in 2022 260 00:11:14,269 --> 00:11:11,040 and the arrival at 16 psyche is expected 261 00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:14,279 in 4.6 years or 2026 262 00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:16,529 the entire observation period should 263 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:19,230 last 20 months and will include orbiting 264 00:11:24,199 --> 00:11:21,690 mapping and studying the asteroids 265 00:11:26,769 --> 00:11:24,209 properties just another example of 266 00:11:30,019 --> 00:11:26,779 science fiction becoming science fact 267 00:11:32,990 --> 00:11:30,029 here's just a snippet of an article from 268 00:11:36,650 --> 00:11:33,000 the Northern Territory news headline 269 00:11:40,090 --> 00:11:36,660 Northern Territory in dry spell for UFO 270 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:40,100 sightings Judith ace Thor wrote this 271 00:11:46,090 --> 00:11:43,170 Australia's self-proclaimed UFO capital 272 00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:46,100 white cliff well hasn't had a single 273 00:11:51,470 --> 00:11:49,110 extraterrestrial visitor in a year with 274 00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:51,480 what's called the dry season uppercase D 275 00:11:56,900 --> 00:11:54,510 uppercase s in Australia historically 276 00:11:59,980 --> 00:11:56,910 the prime time for UFO sightings in the 277 00:12:02,410 --> 00:11:59,990 Northern Territory upon them the lack of 278 00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:02,420 extraterrestrial visitors is concerning 279 00:12:06,949 --> 00:12:05,040 only three UFO encounters have been 280 00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:06,959 brought to the attention of the Northern 281 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:09,360 Territory news in the past year the most 282 00:12:14,199 --> 00:12:12,810 recent being MLA Gerry woods encounter 283 00:12:17,660 --> 00:12:14,209 in February 284 00:12:19,550 --> 00:12:17,670 mr. wood said as dawn broke he saw a 285 00:12:22,069 --> 00:12:19,560 white light about the brightness of a 286 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:22,079 star it was heading north from Virginia 287 00:12:27,319 --> 00:12:24,410 towards Howard Springs in Australia 288 00:12:30,259 --> 00:12:27,329 according to wycliffe well holiday park 289 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:30,269 manager karthik mayanna in the year he'd 290 00:12:34,460 --> 00:12:32,730 worked there not one extraterrestrial 291 00:12:37,550 --> 00:12:34,470 visitor had shown themselves to him or 292 00:12:39,650 --> 00:12:37,560 any of the parks residents Australian 293 00:12:42,350 --> 00:12:39,660 UFO Research Association spokesman Doug 294 00:12:44,329 --> 00:12:42,360 Moffat said in the past six months there 295 00:12:46,579 --> 00:12:44,339 had been an increase in reported 296 00:12:47,930 --> 00:12:46,589 sightings across the world but Doug 297 00:12:50,980 --> 00:12:47,940 Moffett couldn't explain why the 298 00:12:54,380 --> 00:12:50,990 territory was lacking in reports of UFOs 299 00:12:57,439 --> 00:12:54,390 he suggests people are seeing UFOs but 300 00:12:59,689 --> 00:12:57,449 simply not reporting them quote once you 301 00:13:01,699 --> 00:12:59,699 get out into the Northern Territory the 302 00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:01,709 western parts of the country areas you 303 00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:03,839 get a much higher percentage of Close 304 00:13:08,509 --> 00:13:06,630 Encounters and quotes he said on the 305 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:08,519 Sydney Australia based groups website 306 00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:11,370 only one territory encounter in Kathryn 307 00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:14,880 last year in July has been listed Doug 308 00:13:19,630 --> 00:13:16,800 Moffett believes we're currently in the 309 00:13:21,740 --> 00:13:19,640 initial stages for first contact of 310 00:13:22,430 --> 00:13:21,750 extraterrestrials he links that to the 311 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:22,440 global in 312 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:25,530 recent sightings he says quote if we see 313 00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:27,930 a spike in the next 6 or 12 months in 314 00:13:33,980 --> 00:13:30,480 close encounter sightings I think that 315 00:13:35,450 --> 00:13:33,990 is the lead up to first contact I'm not 316 00:13:38,030 --> 00:13:35,460 getting too excited because we're only 317 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:38,040 at phase 1 which is the increase of 318 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:40,650 sightings and quotes paradoxical a 319 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:43,290 decrease in the reported sightings and 320 00:13:49,130 --> 00:13:46,530 yet a worldwide increase acacia Hills 321 00:13:51,740 --> 00:13:49,140 UFO hunter Allen Ferguson closed down 322 00:13:55,190 --> 00:13:51,750 his legendary website which was UFO 323 00:13:58,190 --> 00:13:55,200 territory calm a you he closed it down 324 00:14:01,580 --> 00:13:58,200 last year citing a quote mindset change 325 00:14:03,950 --> 00:14:01,590 end quote Allen Ferguson said on Twitter 326 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:03,960 he was still involved but quote behind 327 00:14:09,380 --> 00:14:06,810 the scenes end quotes there's a local 328 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:09,390 astronomer Jeff car he doesn't believe 329 00:14:14,750 --> 00:14:11,610 in aliens but he cannot say for certain 330 00:14:16,250 --> 00:14:14,760 that they don't exist he said many of 331 00:14:20,090 --> 00:14:16,260 the sightings could be put down to 332 00:14:22,910 --> 00:14:20,100 aircraft drones or weather-related we'll 333 00:14:25,130 --> 00:14:22,920 keep our eyes on the land down under so 334 00:14:28,070 --> 00:14:25,140 gentle listeners we're in that relative 335 00:14:30,350 --> 00:14:28,080 geolocation let's head on over to New 336 00:14:33,530 --> 00:14:30,360 South Wales where there was a UFO 337 00:14:38,180 --> 00:14:33,540 sighting in Crescent head move on wise 338 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:38,190 this has a case number 8 for 3:03 this 339 00:14:44,270 --> 00:14:41,250 took place on the 4th of June 2017 was 340 00:14:47,210 --> 00:14:44,280 reported on the 10th of June here's what 341 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:47,220 our witness offers by way of summary six 342 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:50,250 white lights on object which then spun 343 00:14:57,950 --> 00:14:54,690 flashed red green moved slightly citing 344 00:15:01,340 --> 00:14:57,960 specifics give us a viewing distance 101 345 00:15:04,490 --> 00:15:01,350 to 500 feet the altitude was over 500 346 00:15:07,850 --> 00:15:04,500 feet and there was cloud cover the 347 00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:07,860 sighting duration 3 hours the object 348 00:15:13,820 --> 00:15:10,880 features are reported as being a dome 349 00:15:16,610 --> 00:15:13,830 the flight path hovering then paths and 350 00:15:18,730 --> 00:15:16,620 then a path with directional change and 351 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:18,740 this object was shaped like a sphere 352 00:15:23,620 --> 00:15:21,570 there's no mention of meteorology let's 353 00:15:25,850 --> 00:15:23,630 just jump right into the sighting 354 00:15:29,660 --> 00:15:25,860 camping at Point Plummer 355 00:15:32,420 --> 00:15:29,670 let's bail PLO M er looked out of the 356 00:15:35,750 --> 00:15:32,430 roof of the tent it had a sky roof at 4 357 00:15:36,170 --> 00:15:35,760 a.m. and I saw a bright star like object 358 00:15:39,019 --> 00:15:36,180 which 359 00:15:42,980 --> 00:15:39,029 was moving occasionally within a defined 360 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:42,990 area and then smaller star-like objects 361 00:15:48,019 --> 00:15:45,570 started to come out of this bright 362 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:48,029 object and fly away quickly in different 363 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:48,690 directions 364 00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:51,810 I also saw at least five shooting stars 365 00:15:57,829 --> 00:15:54,630 at this time one of which moved in an 366 00:16:00,620 --> 00:15:57,839 arc i sat up after watching this for 30 367 00:16:03,470 --> 00:16:00,630 minutes and saw a large bright object 368 00:16:06,019 --> 00:16:03,480 about 400 meters from our tent it was 369 00:16:08,570 --> 00:16:06,029 hovering it was about 50 meters above 370 00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:08,580 the sand to the northeast and then it 371 00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:11,880 began to come closer it then changed 372 00:16:17,329 --> 00:16:14,070 from one bright light to six smaller 373 00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:17,339 lights for example the lights changed if 374 00:16:22,010 --> 00:16:19,920 it had been a car it was as if the car 375 00:16:25,970 --> 00:16:22,020 went from high beams to parking lights 376 00:16:28,910 --> 00:16:25,980 and then they moved away over two hours 377 00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:28,920 it moved away slowly it stayed there 378 00:16:33,550 --> 00:16:31,500 until sunrise it was there until the Sun 379 00:16:37,130 --> 00:16:33,560 was so bright we could no longer see it 380 00:16:39,470 --> 00:16:37,140 up in the night sky I saw 20-plus of 381 00:16:41,620 --> 00:16:39,480 these objects some of which flashed red 382 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:41,630 and some would disappear and reappear 383 00:16:47,510 --> 00:16:44,010 some of these things oome off at 384 00:16:49,250 --> 00:16:47,520 incredible speeds since then we 385 00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:49,260 continued to see the bright hovering 386 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:51,420 lights up in the East Coast for the past 387 00:16:55,940 --> 00:16:53,970 week this is a different sighting I 388 00:16:58,820 --> 00:16:55,950 noticed at first by the bright light 389 00:17:01,670 --> 00:16:58,830 moving then other lights emerging from 390 00:17:04,460 --> 00:17:01,680 it these lights flashed red and large 391 00:17:06,590 --> 00:17:04,470 they were spinning these could not be 392 00:17:09,610 --> 00:17:06,600 explained they were too large too fast 393 00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:09,620 to be a drone and there was no noise in 394 00:17:14,990 --> 00:17:12,750 both occasions I did not have a feeling 395 00:17:18,020 --> 00:17:15,000 of being threatened more that these 396 00:17:19,699 --> 00:17:18,030 things were just there to observe also 397 00:17:23,390 --> 00:17:19,709 this object didn't seem to be bothered 398 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:23,400 by being found it was so prominent and 399 00:17:28,910 --> 00:17:26,970 it did not appear to leave quickly let's 400 00:17:31,130 --> 00:17:28,920 quickly shift our trajectory to 401 00:17:33,650 --> 00:17:31,140 California in the United States to the 402 00:17:35,930 --> 00:17:33,660 city of Mariposa or Mariposa 403 00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:35,940 it's butterfly in Spanish no matter how 404 00:17:41,990 --> 00:17:38,910 you say it this is case number 8 for two 405 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:42,000 six zero from the MUFON database in 406 00:17:49,190 --> 00:17:45,690 summary looked like dumbbell both ends 407 00:17:49,850 --> 00:17:49,200 bright red the connector black moved in 408 00:17:53,090 --> 00:17:49,860 sky 409 00:17:55,130 --> 00:17:53,100 for several minutes citing specifics 410 00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:55,140 give a viewing distance of over one mile 411 00:18:00,650 --> 00:17:58,170 the altitude was over 500 feet without 412 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:00,660 cloud cover the duration of this 413 00:18:04,610 --> 00:18:02,850 sighting was 10 minutes the object 414 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:04,620 features though just get described 415 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:08,010 vaguely as other object flight path was 416 00:18:13,340 --> 00:18:10,650 path with directional change paths then 417 00:18:16,850 --> 00:18:13,350 hovering and this object was shaped like 418 00:18:18,650 --> 00:18:16,860 a dumbbell also called a barbell not one 419 00:18:21,380 --> 00:18:18,660 of the most common sighting shapes 420 00:18:23,870 --> 00:18:21,390 reported the maximum temperature over 421 00:18:26,870 --> 00:18:23,880 Mariposa California was 88 degrees 422 00:18:30,020 --> 00:18:26,880 Fahrenheit 31 degrees Celsius down to a 423 00:18:33,049 --> 00:18:30,030 mean chilly for California 55 degrees 424 00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:33,059 Fahrenheit 13 degrees Celsius the 425 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:35,370 maximum mean and minimum visibility 426 00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:39,090 factors all stood the same 10 miles 16 427 00:18:44,060 --> 00:18:41,220 kilometers there seemed to be nothing 428 00:18:47,150 --> 00:18:44,070 abnormal about the weather here's the 429 00:18:49,820 --> 00:18:47,160 account sitting outside to have a smoke 430 00:18:52,820 --> 00:18:49,830 I usually go out two to three times each 431 00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:52,830 evening to look at the night sky I saw 432 00:18:58,010 --> 00:18:55,049 this object moving from west to 433 00:19:01,400 --> 00:18:58,020 northwest it was large in the sky it 434 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:01,410 looked like a large dumbbell with both 435 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:04,290 ends bright red it was kind of pulsing 436 00:19:11,090 --> 00:19:07,290 it had a black connector between those 437 00:19:13,250 --> 00:19:11,100 two ends and that was pitch black first 438 00:19:15,169 --> 00:19:13,260 saw this in the West moving from left to 439 00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:15,179 right and then I went into the house and 440 00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:17,400 got my wife to come out she took one 441 00:19:22,940 --> 00:19:20,160 look and said so what a big red thingy 442 00:19:25,610 --> 00:19:22,950 flying around in the sky she went back 443 00:19:27,530 --> 00:19:25,620 into the house I watched for about two 444 00:19:30,350 --> 00:19:27,540 minutes more as it moved up and down 445 00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:30,360 left and right and then it just took off 446 00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:33,809 very fast much faster than any jets it 447 00:19:39,289 --> 00:19:36,480 made not a sound it headed north west 448 00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:39,299 disappearing over the mountains this 449 00:19:43,730 --> 00:19:41,130 thing was traveling so fast it appeared 450 00:19:45,950 --> 00:19:43,740 to go right through the mountain I see 451 00:19:48,289 --> 00:19:45,960 many strange things in the night sky up 452 00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:48,299 here mostly things that look like a 453 00:19:53,210 --> 00:19:50,640 camera flash in the upper atmosphere I 454 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:53,220 see them quite often sometimes they'll 455 00:19:58,159 --> 00:19:55,530 be just one but oftentimes there will be 456 00:20:01,190 --> 00:19:58,169 several there always a white bright 457 00:20:02,980 --> 00:20:01,200 flash got to look quick one night I saw 458 00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:02,990 four of them and 459 00:20:09,220 --> 00:20:05,840 a fifth although that fifth one was only 460 00:20:11,950 --> 00:20:09,230 red the only time I ever saw a red one 461 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:11,960 it appeared to be an energy burst just 462 00:20:16,990 --> 00:20:14,330 outside our atmosphere this definitely 463 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:17,000 was not a plane or helicopter it was way 464 00:20:22,830 --> 00:20:19,730 too high up could this have been a ship 465 00:20:25,150 --> 00:20:22,840 entering or leaving hyperspace 466 00:20:27,220 --> 00:20:25,160 interesting yes it was a confirmed 467 00:20:29,470 --> 00:20:27,230 sighting by another set of eyes another 468 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:29,480 brain but a brain that doesn't quite see 469 00:20:34,270 --> 00:20:31,850 the connection to a big red thingy 470 00:20:37,660 --> 00:20:34,280 flying around in the sky being unusual 471 00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:37,670 oh well give her time we are still in 472 00:20:42,250 --> 00:20:40,400 the golden state of California so let's 473 00:20:42,970 --> 00:20:42,260 pick up this sighting from Studio City 474 00:20:45,430 --> 00:20:42,980 California 475 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:45,440 it's MUFON case number eight four two 476 00:20:50,620 --> 00:20:48,050 eight one the date of this sighting is 477 00:20:52,419 --> 00:20:50,630 the 9th of June it got a same-day report 478 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:52,429 and that's 2017 479 00:20:57,370 --> 00:20:55,610 in summary me and others witnessed many 480 00:21:00,790 --> 00:20:57,380 UFOs above us 481 00:21:02,980 --> 00:21:00,800 orbs sighting specifics give us an 482 00:21:05,650 --> 00:21:02,990 unknown viewing distance and unknown 483 00:21:08,260 --> 00:21:05,660 altitude a sighting duration however 484 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:08,270 that's 30 minutes the object features 485 00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:12,290 other and unknown this flight path was 486 00:21:17,049 --> 00:21:15,110 stationary hovering and then path and 487 00:21:19,690 --> 00:21:17,059 this particular object seemed to be 488 00:21:22,299 --> 00:21:19,700 shaped like a circle there isn't any 489 00:21:24,010 --> 00:21:22,309 meteorology it's usually sunny in 490 00:21:27,580 --> 00:21:24,020 California but here's the account 491 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:27,590 first-person unedited just witnessed 492 00:21:35,110 --> 00:21:30,890 along with three of my neighbors over 20 493 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:35,120 white or black UFOs perhaps about 20,000 494 00:21:40,330 --> 00:21:37,850 feet up over the Moorpark street address 495 00:21:42,970 --> 00:21:40,340 Studio City California near Coldwater 496 00:21:45,970 --> 00:21:42,980 Canyon these things were all hovering 497 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:45,980 floating and on seven occasions one 498 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:48,890 would travel and touch another all in 499 00:21:53,710 --> 00:21:51,530 the exact way and they repeated this I 500 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:53,720 was the first who noticed them it was 501 00:21:59,169 --> 00:21:56,330 about 4:45 p.m. I was watching a large 502 00:22:01,660 --> 00:21:59,179 aircraft fly overhead and then I noticed 503 00:22:04,690 --> 00:22:01,670 two of them near it then I saw the 504 00:22:07,390 --> 00:22:04,700 others several neighbors saw me and then 505 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:07,400 they looked up and also stared we all 506 00:22:12,130 --> 00:22:10,250 wondered what these things were many 507 00:22:14,470 --> 00:22:12,140 were in clusters close to each other 508 00:22:16,930 --> 00:22:14,480 separated from the other clusters and 509 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:16,940 for the thirty minutes we watched them 510 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:20,330 they barely moved I also reported this 511 00:22:25,060 --> 00:22:22,610 to the Facebook move on I have no 512 00:22:27,850 --> 00:22:25,070 feelings at the time emotionally just a 513 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:27,860 sense of wonder they all reminded me of 514 00:22:32,770 --> 00:22:30,770 the fleet reporting's in Mexico these 515 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:32,780 things were too high up for a picture to 516 00:22:37,150 --> 00:22:34,970 even make anything out I asked a 517 00:22:39,180 --> 00:22:37,160 neighbor to try with her iPhone but they 518 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:39,190 could barely be seen through the phone 519 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:41,810 after 30 minutes of watching them they 520 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:44,090 were drifting east they were not 521 00:22:49,540 --> 00:22:47,090 balloons as seven of them traveled to 522 00:22:51,250 --> 00:22:49,550 each other on separate occasions they 523 00:22:54,610 --> 00:22:51,260 were touching each other in the same 524 00:22:57,670 --> 00:22:54,620 exact manner same exact pattern exact 525 00:23:02,140 --> 00:22:57,680 same touch seven different times and 526 00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:02,150 there were over 20 of these things to 527 00:23:06,790 --> 00:23:05,060 which we can only say what the heck we 528 00:23:08,710 --> 00:23:06,800 just can't leave the state of California 529 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:08,720 here's a sighting from the northern part 530 00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:10,850 of the state city of Bakersfield 531 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:13,280 MUFON gave this case number eight four 532 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:15,650 three three one for those tracking and 533 00:23:21,130 --> 00:23:18,410 identification processes the date of the 534 00:23:23,380 --> 00:23:21,140 sighting is the 10th of June 2017 it got 535 00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:23,390 a next day report those sighting 536 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:25,580 specifics offer a viewing distance of 537 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:29,570 101 feet to 500 feet the altitude 500 538 00:23:35,860 --> 00:23:33,290 feet or less and then over 500 feet and 539 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:35,870 underneath a cloud cover the sighting 540 00:23:40,540 --> 00:23:37,970 duration was seven minutes object 541 00:23:43,810 --> 00:23:40,550 features dome object flight path 542 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:43,820 hovering then path then path then 543 00:23:49,030 --> 00:23:46,490 hovering and this object is described as 544 00:23:51,370 --> 00:23:49,040 looking like a fireball as far as the 545 00:23:54,010 --> 00:23:51,380 shape is concerned there is some weather 546 00:23:57,100 --> 00:23:54,020 the maximum temperature 79 degrees 547 00:24:00,100 --> 00:23:57,110 Fahrenheit 26 degrees Celsius minimum 548 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:00,110 temperature 61 degrees Fahrenheit 16 549 00:24:05,290 --> 00:24:02,690 degrees Celsius those visibility factors 550 00:24:08,590 --> 00:24:05,300 all three of the maximum mean and 551 00:24:11,740 --> 00:24:08,600 minimum the same 10 miles 16 kilometers 552 00:24:14,050 --> 00:24:11,750 and California very rarely has abnormal 553 00:24:15,820 --> 00:24:14,060 weather there wasn't any at the time of 554 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:15,830 this sighting it seemed to go something 555 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:19,010 like this my fiance and I were in our 556 00:24:24,370 --> 00:24:22,010 backyard observing numerous fireball 557 00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:24,380 like UFOs these things were slowly 558 00:24:30,130 --> 00:24:27,710 moving across the sky fairly close they 559 00:24:30,820 --> 00:24:30,140 were above our neighbor's houses I told 560 00:24:32,769 --> 00:24:30,830 her to run 561 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:32,779 have the phone record this as this is 562 00:24:37,570 --> 00:24:35,090 the second events we've witnessed in the 563 00:24:40,090 --> 00:24:37,580 last few months and we failed to capture 564 00:24:42,220 --> 00:24:40,100 it the first time our thoughts initially 565 00:24:44,529 --> 00:24:42,230 were these could be some new kind of 566 00:24:46,899 --> 00:24:44,539 memorial balloons something that we 567 00:24:50,230 --> 00:24:46,909 weren't aware of they moved across the 568 00:24:53,980 --> 00:24:50,240 sky similar to hot-air balloons but they 569 00:24:55,779 --> 00:24:53,990 seemed to be made entirely of fire the 570 00:24:58,539 --> 00:24:55,789 first time we saw one of these was a few 571 00:25:01,240 --> 00:24:58,549 months ago we saw it up very close 572 00:25:04,180 --> 00:25:01,250 it rose directly over our neighbor's 573 00:25:07,750 --> 00:25:04,190 house I would describe this has a large 574 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:07,760 sack of fire being carried by some type 575 00:25:14,169 --> 00:25:10,490 of curved black claw type structure 576 00:25:16,930 --> 00:25:14,179 directly above it and yet another kind 577 00:25:19,870 --> 00:25:16,940 of description a sack of fire and a 578 00:25:23,409 --> 00:25:19,880 black claw type object on that note 579 00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:23,419 we've got to say that's a wrap thank you 580 00:25:28,539 --> 00:25:25,700 for listening to inception radio network 581 00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:28,549 follow today's broadcast at UFO
