1 00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:00,550 [Music] 2 00:00:07,670 --> 00:00:05,040 hello it's monday july 17 2017. you are 3 00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:07,680 listening to inception radio network 4 00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:10,000 voice of the fringe majority this is 5 00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:17,670 so if you're speculating what you'll see 6 00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:20,080 in your sky tonight overhead at the end 7 00:00:23,230 --> 00:00:22,240 of the day well it ought to go something 8 00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:23,240 like this 9 00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:26,560 earthsky.org provides us with deneb and 10 00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:28,640 cygnus the swan 11 00:00:33,670 --> 00:00:31,119 tonight's chart has you looking eastward 12 00:00:36,389 --> 00:00:33,680 at that famous summer triangle 13 00:00:39,190 --> 00:00:36,399 tonight notice denep that star the 14 00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:39,200 northernmost star in the summer triangle 15 00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:41,120 it's in the constellation cygnus the 16 00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:42,239 swan 17 00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:43,760 if you're lucky enough to have dark 18 00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:46,079 country sky around you you can see that 19 00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:48,800 cygnus is flying along that starlet 20 00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:51,680 trail of the summer milky way 21 00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:53,840 deborah bird inserts this interesting 22 00:00:58,709 --> 00:00:55,920 anecdote here there's someone named 23 00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:58,719 annie lewis she lives in madrid spain 24 00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,480 and she was out taking photographs 25 00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:02,640 shortly after nightfall she was trying 26 00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:05,280 to catch the summer triangle well yep 27 00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:07,680 she did and she says the only stars 28 00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:10,240 visible to her unaided eye as she took 29 00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:12,320 the photo were those three in the 30 00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:15,600 triangle but her camera knew better 31 00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:17,439 you'll have to see that shot to fully 32 00:01:22,510 --> 00:01:20,400 understand it and you can see that shot 33 00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:22,520 later today at 34 00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:24,320 ufoheadlinenews.com 35 00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:26,560 if it's darker out you might recognize 36 00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:28,640 the summer triangle by noticing there's 37 00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:31,520 a cross within the triangle the 38 00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:35,040 constellation cygnus is that cross in 39 00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:36,720 fact the constellation cygnus is 40 00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:40,479 sometimes called the northern cross okay 41 00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:42,079 there's lots of names here summer 42 00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:44,799 triangle cygnus northern cross 43 00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:46,960 easy to remember the constellation 44 00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:49,600 cygnus the swan contains that northern 45 00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:52,479 cross the cross is more or less just 46 00:01:56,710 --> 00:01:54,720 another way to see the swan 47 00:01:58,950 --> 00:01:56,720 the northern cross well that's one of 48 00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:58,960 those things called an asterism those 49 00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:01,200 recognizable patterns within a 50 00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:02,560 constellation 51 00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:04,320 in this case the pattern is the whole 52 00:02:08,469 --> 00:02:06,320 constellation pretty much at least 53 00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:08,479 that's how deborah bird sees it 54 00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:10,000 except for one thing 55 00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:12,239 deneb is at the top of the cross but at 56 00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:15,280 the tail of the swan in fact the very 57 00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:17,680 name deneb means tail 58 00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:20,560 there's that little star albarreo also 59 00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:23,200 at the head of the swan but at the base 60 00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:26,720 of the cross whew as deborah bird writes 61 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:28,480 well of course this is where we tell you 62 00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:30,160 we're never going to spring any kind of 63 00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:32,720 pop quizzes here at inception radio 64 00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:35,920 network ufo headline news no grades 65 00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:38,879 given just the accumulation hopefully of 66 00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:41,760 some kind of cool stuff stuff like this 67 00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:45,440 for instance from the website cnet.com 68 00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:47,760 with a byline for eric mack 69 00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:48,800 headline 70 00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:51,599 scientists investigating strange signals 71 00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:53,920 from nearby star 72 00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:56,319 sub headline unexplained radio 73 00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,440 transmissions from 11 light years away 74 00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:01,280 are getting a closer listen from 75 00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:05,200 humanity's biggest ear yesterday sunday 76 00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:07,440 the world's largest currently operating 77 00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:10,480 radio telescope was observing the nearby 78 00:03:15,589 --> 00:03:13,200 star ross 128. 79 00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:15,599 that star may be the origin of some very 80 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:18,400 odd and inexplicable radio signals 81 00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:21,040 picked up last may the arecibo 82 00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:23,360 observatory in puerto rico will again 83 00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:25,760 target the red dwarf star which is the 84 00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:29,200 12th closest to our sun and 11 light 85 00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:31,200 years away they're going to gather more 86 00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:33,040 data that could eventually help solve 87 00:03:36,309 --> 00:03:34,400 this mystery 88 00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:36,319 abell mendes a professor at the 89 00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:38,480 university of puerto rico at arecibo's 90 00:03:44,830 --> 00:03:41,360 planetary habitability laboratory 91 00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:44,840 described the signals as quote broadband 92 00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:46,440 quasi-periodic 93 00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:49,680 non-polarized pulses with very strong 94 00:03:54,309 --> 00:03:52,480 dispersion-like features and quotes 95 00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:54,319 mendes said that in a blog post this 96 00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:56,239 week and he suggests they could be 97 00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:00,319 caused by solar flares from ross 128. or 98 00:04:05,429 --> 00:04:02,480 by something else in the field of view 99 00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:05,439 or perhaps even a high orbit satellite 100 00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:08,000 oh abel mendez that professor from the 101 00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:10,000 university of puerto rico makes one 102 00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:12,560 other comment here he says quote 103 00:04:18,150 --> 00:04:14,720 in case you're wondering the recurrent 104 00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:18,160 aliens hypothesis is at the bottom of 105 00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:20,479 many other better explanations and 106 00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:23,199 quotes but there are problems with each 107 00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:25,280 of the three leading explanations he 108 00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:28,000 says solar flares aren't a great match 109 00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:29,840 for the frequencies and dispersions 110 00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:32,240 observed in these signals there are few 111 00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:34,960 nearby objects in the field of view and 112 00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:37,440 satellites aren't known to emit such 113 00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:38,560 pulses 114 00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:41,520 so arecibo will be listening hard for 115 00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:43,840 these strange signals and will also turn 116 00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:46,800 its massive ear to another nearby red 117 00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:49,919 dwarf called barnard's star and 118 00:04:55,030 --> 00:04:52,000 meanwhile back at the university of 119 00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:55,040 puerto rico professor abel mendes jokes 120 00:05:00,990 --> 00:04:58,160 that he has a quote pina colada ready to 121 00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:01,000 celebrate if the signals result to be 122 00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:04,720 astronomical in nature end quotes 123 00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:07,520 meanwhile the alien hunters sci-fi fans 124 00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:10,240 and gamers can continue to revel in 125 00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:12,880 speculation that the alien hypothesis 126 00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:15,759 cannot be 100 ruled out 127 00:05:22,469 --> 00:05:19,919 after all ross 128 is known as phi 128 00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:22,479 virginis the setting of numerous works 129 00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:25,280 of science fiction and even one old 130 00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:28,000 school computer game that some kids of 131 00:05:33,189 --> 00:05:30,960 the 1990s might remember 132 00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:33,199 here's an update on that mysterious 133 00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:35,919 rogue planet floating through space it 134 00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:38,479 may be even stranger than we thought in 135 00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:41,039 fact that is the headline here it gets a 136 00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:44,160 byline for writer rob wow who hangs out 137 00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:46,240 on the other side of the pond he's in 138 00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:49,039 the united kingdom here's the story 139 00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:51,919 a rogue planet spotted wandering through 140 00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:54,800 space on its own maybe even stranger 141 00:06:02,070 --> 00:05:57,759 than scientists expected as it is not 142 00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:02,080 one but two objects this is an update we 143 00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:04,560 touched on this briefly last week on ufo 144 00:06:09,909 --> 00:06:07,840 headline news here's more info 145 00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:09,919 scientists now believe that the object 146 00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:13,199 might actually be two tiny brown dwarfs 147 00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:15,120 orbiting one another and that would make 148 00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:17,680 them the smallest binary system ever 149 00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:18,720 found 150 00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:21,520 brown dwarfs those objects too big to be 151 00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:24,000 a planet but they're not massive enough 152 00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:26,080 to sustain the nuclear fusion which 153 00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:28,240 makes stars burn 154 00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:30,479 after observing these two objects and 155 00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:33,440 this week they have names well the name 156 00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:40,479 is 2 m a s s j 1 1 1 9 3 2 5 4 157 00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:44,800 1 1 3 7 4 6 6 but not to worry if you 158 00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:46,800 want to know there will be a link later 159 00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:49,440 at ufoheadlinenews.com 160 00:06:53,510 --> 00:06:51,039 and no tests 161 00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:53,520 this has been studied out of the keck ii 162 00:06:58,230 --> 00:06:55,680 telescope in hawaii and scientists 163 00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:58,240 believe now that they are two brown 164 00:07:01,990 --> 00:07:00,080 dwarf stars 165 00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:02,000 it's thought to be the lowest mass 166 00:07:06,230 --> 00:07:04,479 binary system ever detected 167 00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:06,240 writing in the blog of the american 168 00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:08,960 astronomical society the scientists say 169 00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:11,840 quote the team found that each component 170 00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:15,680 is a mere minus 3.7 jupiter masses and 171 00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:18,160 that places them in this fuzzy region 172 00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:21,280 between planets and stars regardless of 173 00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:25,120 its definition two m a s s j one one one 174 00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:28,400 nine three two five four dash one one 175 00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:29,680 three seven 176 00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:30,479 six 177 00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:33,120 qualifies as the lowest mass binary 178 00:07:37,189 --> 00:07:34,960 discovered to date 179 00:07:39,749 --> 00:07:37,199 the individual masses of the components 180 00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:39,759 also place them among the lowest mass 181 00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:42,720 free-floating brown dwarfs known this 182 00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:44,560 system will therefore be a crucial 183 00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:47,280 benchmark for tests of evolutionary and 184 00:07:52,870 --> 00:07:50,800 atmospheric models for low mass stars in 185 00:07:55,830 --> 00:07:52,880 the future end quotes 186 00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:55,840 and we will keep our eyes on that 187 00:08:01,309 --> 00:07:58,000 this broadcaster is rather puzzled 188 00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:01,319 regarding that use of the word dwarfs 189 00:08:07,589 --> 00:08:04,879 d-w-a-r-f-s rather than dwarves with a 190 00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:07,599 d-w-a-r-v-e-s 191 00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:09,280 we'll have to sleuth around and see if 192 00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:12,240 we can find out what is up with that and 193 00:08:19,510 --> 00:08:16,000 then there's this from airspacemag.com 194 00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:19,520 headline the search for extraterrestrial 195 00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:21,199 artifacts 196 00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:23,840 seti research is picking up on the other 197 00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:26,800 side of the atlantic this article gets a 198 00:08:32,709 --> 00:08:30,160 byline for writer dirk schulz mccooch 199 00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:32,719 the first workshop of the new german 200 00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:35,039 seti initiative recently convened in the 201 00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:37,360 southern town of freiburg with experts 202 00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:40,000 in fields ranging from social science to 203 00:08:44,750 --> 00:08:42,880 satellite imaging on hand to discuss how 204 00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:44,760 to advance the search for 205 00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:47,760 extraterrestrial intelligent life 206 00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:49,680 michael schechke from the university of 207 00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:52,160 freiburg started things off with a talk 208 00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:54,160 on the possible consequences of first 209 00:08:58,710 --> 00:08:56,880 contact with an extraterrestrial species 210 00:08:59,910 --> 00:08:58,720 and how we might prepare for such an 211 00:09:02,070 --> 00:08:59,920 encounter 212 00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:02,080 the symposium held at the library of 213 00:09:06,630 --> 00:09:04,480 congress in washington dc three years 214 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:06,640 ago had a similar theme 215 00:09:10,870 --> 00:09:08,640 but professor shetsky's talk focused 216 00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:10,880 more on contact with artificial 217 00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:14,399 intelligence or machine based life 218 00:09:20,949 --> 00:09:18,560 other talks had to do with sata s-e-t-a 219 00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:20,959 that's new to this broadcaster it is the 220 00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:24,480 search for extraterrestrial artifacts 221 00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:26,720 the name is new the concept certainly 222 00:09:29,509 --> 00:09:27,680 not 223 00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:29,519 which will be one of the subjects of 224 00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:31,600 future research by this german research 225 00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:34,800 network hakan kayal from the university 226 00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:37,200 of wurzburg outlined the technical state 227 00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:39,600 of the arts in detecting and identifying 228 00:09:44,310 --> 00:09:41,680 objects in space whether natural 229 00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:44,320 phenomena such as meteorites and sprites 230 00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:47,519 or presumed extraterrestrial probes it 231 00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:49,440 was sobering that even in earth's 232 00:09:52,509 --> 00:09:50,399 vicinity 233 00:09:55,509 --> 00:09:52,519 we could only detect very large 234 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:55,519 kilometer-sized probes or those that had 235 00:09:59,670 --> 00:09:57,920 a huge energy output 236 00:10:01,590 --> 00:09:59,680 other experts in the research network 237 00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:01,600 are addressing questions of possible 238 00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:04,320 cultural exchange communications between 239 00:10:08,550 --> 00:10:07,200 a putative extraterrestrial civilization 240 00:10:11,030 --> 00:10:08,560 and humans 241 00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:11,040 advanced alien civilizations might use 242 00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:12,880 probes to engage in interstellar 243 00:10:17,190 --> 00:10:15,040 communications or to observe other 244 00:10:20,069 --> 00:10:17,200 planets such as earth 245 00:10:23,269 --> 00:10:20,079 this intriguing idea led robert freitas 246 00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:23,279 and francisco valdez in the 1970s to 247 00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:25,760 conduct a photographic search of the 248 00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:28,640 earth moon lagrange points those points 249 00:10:33,350 --> 00:10:30,880 where a probe could be parked without 250 00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:33,360 any expenditure of energy they didn't 251 00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:36,160 find anything down to a detection limit 252 00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:38,880 of about 14th magnitude 253 00:10:43,269 --> 00:10:41,360 but that was 40 years ago and with 254 00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:43,279 today's technology a more thorough 255 00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:45,120 search could be conducted of these 256 00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:48,320 lagrange points and other localities 257 00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:50,160 funding for this type of research is 258 00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,320 hard to come by however and it's more 259 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:54,720 likely to come from private sponsors 260 00:10:58,389 --> 00:10:56,240 rather than traditional government 261 00:11:00,790 --> 00:10:58,399 sources a possibility the german 262 00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:00,800 research network is looking into 263 00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:03,200 after many years where seti was pursued 264 00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:05,440 almost solely in the united states 265 00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:08,800 primarily by the seti institute germany 266 00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:11,120 is finally stepping up to join in this 267 00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:13,200 search as are other countries in europe 268 00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:14,640 including france 269 00:11:17,829 --> 00:11:16,000 that means we can look forward to 270 00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:17,839 significant contributions from 271 00:11:22,470 --> 00:11:20,720 scientists on both sides of the atlantic 272 00:11:25,350 --> 00:11:22,480 in the near future 273 00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:25,360 oh by the way about this writer dirk 274 00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:27,360 schulz mccooch is a professor at the 275 00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:29,760 technical university berlin germany he's 276 00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:32,160 an adjunct professor at arizona state 277 00:11:36,870 --> 00:11:34,560 university and washington state 278 00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:36,880 university he's an affiliate of the seti 279 00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:39,360 institute in mountain view california 280 00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:41,680 he's got several books in fact seven 281 00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,640 related to astrobiology and planetary 282 00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:46,240 habitability 283 00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:49,440 dirk schultz mccooch a busy man 284 00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:52,720 here's an update on busyness in the sky 285 00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:55,360 those eerie black rings they appeared in 286 00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:57,440 mexico city and we covered that here 287 00:12:02,470 --> 00:11:59,920 last week at ufo headline news 288 00:12:03,829 --> 00:12:02,480 and now they're appearing elsewhere so 289 00:12:06,949 --> 00:12:03,839 here's the headline 290 00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:06,959 mystery as eerie black rings appear in 291 00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:09,760 the sky around the world sending ufo 292 00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:12,480 hunters into a frenzy 293 00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:14,399 well we think that might perhaps be 294 00:12:19,110 --> 00:12:16,800 somewhat of an exaggeration this is 295 00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:19,120 written by patrick knox 296 00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:21,200 mysterious black smoke rings have been 297 00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:23,839 forming in the sky across the world with 298 00:12:28,069 --> 00:12:26,000 scientists struggling to explain this 299 00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:28,079 freaky phenomenon 300 00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:30,079 mystery surrounds this epidemic of 301 00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:32,480 sinister black smoke rings they've been 302 00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:35,440 forming now for a week or so this freaky 303 00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:37,680 phenomenon has been dubbed as quote 304 00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:40,480 smoke vortexes end quotes agenda 305 00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:42,800 listeners if you haven't seen the shots 306 00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:44,320 of this phenomenon they're still 307 00:12:49,509 --> 00:12:47,760 available over at ufoheadlinenews.com 308 00:12:51,829 --> 00:12:49,519 and of course you can link to them with 309 00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:51,839 this story as well we think that's a 310 00:12:55,990 --> 00:12:54,320 pretty good description smoke vortexes 311 00:12:58,870 --> 00:12:56,000 they've been appearing in remote spots 312 00:13:00,949 --> 00:12:58,880 in russia's siberia and the american 313 00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:00,959 midwest with the latest one being 314 00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:03,360 spotted in the united kingdom 315 00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:05,440 according to some witnesses this 316 00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:07,680 particular site is straight out of the 317 00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:10,160 2016 film arrival 318 00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:12,320 where visiting aliens use the circles to 319 00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:13,920 communicate 320 00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:16,800 kimberly robinson 22 was driving down 321 00:13:21,430 --> 00:13:19,440 the m62 near birkenshaw in the united 322 00:13:24,550 --> 00:13:21,440 kingdom with her boyfriend danny cooper 323 00:13:26,550 --> 00:13:24,560 26 when they noticed this creepy black 324 00:13:28,870 --> 00:13:26,560 mark in the sky 325 00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:28,880 full-time mum miss robinson described 326 00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:30,959 the circle as quote the weirdest thing i 327 00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:33,680 have ever seen end quotes she said me 328 00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:35,519 and my boyfriend were driving today and 329 00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:38,480 noticed a black flying ring in the sky 330 00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:40,720 it looked a bit smoky but the shape was 331 00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:43,040 a solid ring we haven't ever seen 332 00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:44,959 anything like this before and we've 333 00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:47,760 looked into it and no one knows what it 334 00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:49,360 is and quotes 335 00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:51,120 west yorkshire fire service said there 336 00:13:55,190 --> 00:13:53,120 had been no reports of fire at the time 337 00:13:57,189 --> 00:13:55,200 of this sighting on sunday it was just 338 00:13:58,949 --> 00:13:57,199 after 1 30 pm 339 00:14:01,350 --> 00:13:58,959 another bizarre ring was spotted in 340 00:14:02,470 --> 00:14:01,360 missouri in the united states the day 341 00:14:03,829 --> 00:14:02,480 before 342 00:14:06,069 --> 00:14:03,839 but police believe it must have been 343 00:14:07,110 --> 00:14:06,079 caused by some sort of firework in that 344 00:14:09,189 --> 00:14:07,120 case 345 00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:09,199 others believe the strange rings are 346 00:14:12,949 --> 00:14:11,839 evidence of alien ships visiting our 347 00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:12,959 planet 348 00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:15,199 in april another sighting spooked out 349 00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:18,480 shoppers in a mall in siberia yes they 350 00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:20,560 have those with some fearful it was a 351 00:14:24,710 --> 00:14:22,720 kind of doomsday warning 352 00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:24,720 in fact one social media person said 353 00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:27,360 quote it's a kind of supernatural power 354 00:14:33,030 --> 00:14:30,320 flying across the city end quotes but 355 00:14:35,269 --> 00:14:33,040 ufo investigator nick pope has another 356 00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:35,279 more prosaic explanation 357 00:14:41,030 --> 00:14:38,079 he said quote despite exotic theories 358 00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:41,040 about ufos aliens or portals to other 359 00:14:46,069 --> 00:14:43,600 dimensions i believe there's a decidedly 360 00:14:48,710 --> 00:14:46,079 down-to-earth explanation here a 361 00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:48,720 so-called smoke vortex can arise when 362 00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:50,800 you have a blast through a circular 363 00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:53,360 structure like a smokestack so these 364 00:14:58,870 --> 00:14:55,680 weird effects can be caused by accident 365 00:15:00,550 --> 00:14:58,880 or indeed by design and on this latter 366 00:15:03,189 --> 00:15:00,560 point they can be 367 00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:03,199 your heart has a natural rhythm a beat 368 00:15:06,389 --> 00:15:04,720 that drives you forward 369 00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:06,399 so the minute something's out of sync 370 00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:08,720 turn to hackensack meridian health one 371 00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:10,560 of the nation's leading cardiovascular 372 00:15:15,189 --> 00:15:12,720 programs this is where you'll find the 373 00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:15,199 power of possible leading specialists 374 00:15:18,790 --> 00:15:17,120 bringing you breakthroughs sooner 375 00:15:19,829 --> 00:15:18,800 advanced rehab that gets you moving 376 00:15:22,069 --> 00:15:19,839 faster 377 00:15:24,550 --> 00:15:22,079 and everything's perfectly orchestrated 378 00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:24,560 so your world never misses a beat 379 00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:27,519 hackensack meridian health life years 380 00:15:33,030 --> 00:15:29,920 ahead 381 00:15:34,470 --> 00:15:33,040 created as a sort of pyrotechnic effect 382 00:15:37,030 --> 00:15:34,480 it would be interesting to know if there 383 00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:37,040 were any outdoor festivals being held in 384 00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:39,440 the area concerned end quotes 385 00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:43,519 very logical mr nick pope he is that guy 386 00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:45,680 the smoke ring filmed in mexico was said 387 00:15:50,069 --> 00:15:47,680 to have resembled the bottom of a 388 00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:50,079 whirlwind as it perhaps rose up in the 389 00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:51,920 ground and over the heads of the 390 00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:53,040 witnesses 391 00:15:57,590 --> 00:15:55,279 very curious almost to this broadcaster 392 00:16:01,110 --> 00:15:57,600 resembling that infamous hole punch 393

here 396 00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:08,880 but there seemingly was something to see 397 00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:12,720 at dingman's ferry pennsylvania july 16 398 00:16:17,189 --> 00:16:14,880 2017. we grabbed this from 399 00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:17,199 ufostalker.com 400 00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:19,920 mufon gave this case a tracking number 401 00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:22,399 for purposes of identification that 402 00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:25,440 number is eight five one four one 403 00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:27,199 the date of this sighting is the 16th of 404 00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:29,759 july as we said it wasn't reported till 405 00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:31,040 the next day 406 00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:33,360 here's what the witness says in summary 407 00:16:37,829 --> 00:16:34,959 i looked at the sky 408 00:16:41,189 --> 00:16:37,839 and saw a bigger version of a lightning 409 00:16:43,509 --> 00:16:41,199 bug falling eventually landing in the 410 00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:43,519 woods next to my house 411 00:16:49,829 --> 00:16:46,959 it looked like a star fallen 412 00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:49,839 citing specifics oh a very close viewing 413 00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:53,440

00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:25,919 i looked up at the sky and saw a glowing 427 00:17:29,350 --> 00:17:28,400 green light at first i thought it was a 428 00:17:31,830 --> 00:17:29,360 plane 429 00:17:34,630 --> 00:17:31,840 but then it looked like just a huge 430 00:17:36,870 --> 00:17:34,640 version of a green lightning bug 431 00:17:39,909 --> 00:17:36,880 it began to descend to the ground 432 00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:39,919 and i realized then it wasn't a plane 433 00:17:43,909 --> 00:17:42,160 when it landed it stayed in one area for 434 00:17:47,029 --> 00:17:43,919 about 15 minutes

00:19:16,400 described as other 474 00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:18,799 the flight path was a straight line path 475 00:19:23,750 --> 00:19:21,840 and this object had an unknown shape 476 00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:23,760 there is some meteorology here for 477 00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:26,080 laguna woods california maximum 478 00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:29,039 temperature 71 degrees fahrenheit 22 479

00:19:54,080 be a discrepancy here between the 488 00:19:59,669 --> 00:19:56,640 summary and the sighting details because 489 00:20:03,110 --> 00:19:59,679 this says weather-wise on friday june 490 00:20:07,350 --> 00:20:03,120 10th 2017 at 5 15 p.m it was a cool 491 00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:07,360 evening not a cloud in the blue sky 492 00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:09,360 i was sitting on my balcony in laguna 493 00:20:14,549 --> 00:20:12,080 woods talking to a friend facing east 494 00:20:17,029 --> 00:20:14,559 while gazing at saddleback mountain 495 00:20:19,270 --> 00:20:17,039 i noticed a shimmering metal object in 496 00:20:22,549 --> 00:20:19,280 the sky and i thought it was a plane at 497 00:20:24,710 --> 00:20:22,559 first as i kept my eyes on it i realized 498 00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:24,720 this was too vertical looking to be a 499 00:20:28,870 --> 00:20:27,360 plane so i grabbed my binoculars to see 500 00:20:30,950 --> 00:20:28,880 what this was 501 00:20:33,430 --> 00:20:30,960 while looking through the binoculars i 502 00:20:36,630 --> 00:20:33,440 saw a pulsating red light coming from 503 00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:36,640 within the center column of this object 504 00:20:41,470 --> 00:20:38,480 i couldn't see that red light without 505 00:20:45,990 --> 00:20:41,480 the binoculars so i decided to grab my 506 00:20:47,990 --> 00:20:46,000 dslr camera 16 to 270 millimeter lens to 507 00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:48,000 take a few shots of this and look at it 508 00:20:52,870 --> 00:20:50,400 better through my viewfinder the object 509 00:20:55,270 --> 00:20:52,880 moved out of view before i could grab my 510 00:20:57,110 --> 00:20:55,280 tripod to get better shots these 511 00:20:59,430 --> 00:20:57,120 consecutive shots show that the object 512 00:21:01,669 --> 00:20:59,440 was changing in appearance and i believe 513 00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:01,679 it was simultaneously rotating in 514 00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:04,559 circles while moving east west in a 515 00:21:08,630 --> 00:21:07,360 straight line across the sky towards the 516 00:21:09,710 --> 00:21:08,640 ocean 517 00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:09,720 yikes 518 00:21:14,470 --> 00:21:12,480 meteorological
