1
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:04,249
oh it's Friday August 11th 2017 you are

2
00:00:09,259 --> 00:00:06,450
listening to inception Radio Network

3
00:00:13,970 --> 00:00:09,269
voice of the fringe majority this is

4
00:00:16,189 --> 00:00:13,980
Carol Karl with UFO headline news well

5
00:00:18,109 --> 00:00:16,199
they're almost at their peak and then

6
00:00:18,859 --> 00:00:18,119
well we'll wait till the next time

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:18,869
around

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:21,330
the Perseids they're peaking this

9
00:00:25,429 --> 00:00:22,170
weekend

10
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:25,439
August 11th and 12th and August 12th and

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:28,320
13th those are those peak nights for

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:31,410
2017 s Perseid meteor shower watch from

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:33,690
late evening until dawn on both nights

14
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:36,210
the greatest number of meteors typically

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:39,450
fall in the wee hours before dawn and on

16
00:00:45,380 --> 00:00:42,090
a moonless night you can often spot 50

17
00:00:48,290 --> 00:00:45,390
or more meteors per hour but of course

18
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:48,300
this year is far from Moon free in fact

19
00:00:53,810 --> 00:00:50,640
this broadcaster just said hello to the

20
00:00:56,090 --> 00:00:53,820
morning moon in 2017 a bright waning

21
00:00:58,580 --> 00:00:56,100
gibbous moon lights up the sky after

22
00:01:00,830 --> 00:00:58,590
midnight still the Perseids are well

23
00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:00,840
worth watching a good percentage of

24
00:01:05,929 --> 00:01:02,489
these meteors should be bright enough to

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:05,939
overcome moonlit glare and plus you can

26
00:01:10,730 --> 00:01:08,250
minimize the moon to maximize your

27
00:01:13,219 --> 00:01:10,740
enjoyment of the meteor shower it's

28
00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:13,229
possible to see and photograph bright

29
00:01:18,289 --> 00:01:15,750
meteors in moonlight and according to

30
00:01:20,690 --> 00:01:18,299
NASA's meteoroid Office the Perseids

31
00:01:22,969 --> 00:01:20,700
have more fireballs than any other major

32
00:01:25,820 --> 00:01:22,979
shower there's a cool link you can find

33
00:01:28,609 --> 00:01:25,830
later at UFO headline news you can click

34
00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:28,619
and find out the moon rise and moon set

35
00:01:34,219 --> 00:01:31,560
times in your area the moon rises later

36
00:01:36,890 --> 00:01:34,229
each day it won't rise till fairly late

37
00:01:39,410 --> 00:01:36,900
on August 11th and later yet tomorrow

38
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:39,420
night August 12th the Perseids don't

39
00:01:43,609 --> 00:01:41,250
fall is abundantly in those evening

40
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:43,619
hours as they do after midnight but the

41
00:01:48,499 --> 00:01:45,600
moon free evening hours might offer a

42
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:48,509
decent sprinkling of meteors gentle

43
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:50,399
listeners in the northern hemisphere can

44
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:52,680
see a smattering of Perseid meteors in

45
00:01:56,780 --> 00:01:54,960
the evening hours the meteors tend to be

46
00:01:59,030 --> 00:01:56,790
few and far between at that time of

47
00:02:01,670 --> 00:01:59,040
night although it presents the best time

48
00:02:03,709 --> 00:02:01,680
to try to catch those earth grazers we

49
00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:03,719
touched on that briefly yesterday those

50
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:06,270
elongated long lasting meteors that

51
00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:09,330
travel horizontally across the sky earth

52
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:12,660
grazers are rare but most memorable if

53
00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:13,890
you're lucky enough to spot

54
00:02:18,770 --> 00:02:16,380
on you gentle listeners in the southern

55
00:02:21,290 --> 00:02:18,780
hemisphere from your point of view the

56
00:02:23,780 --> 00:02:21,300
first meteors and possible earth grazers

57
00:02:26,750 --> 00:02:23,790
won't be flying until midnight or the

58
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:26,760
wee hours of the morning that follow in

59
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:28,650
either the northern or the southern

60
00:02:30,890 --> 00:02:29,280
hemisphere

61
00:02:33,140 --> 00:02:30,900
the greatest number of meteors streak

62
00:02:36,650 --> 00:02:33,150
the sky in the first few hours before

63
00:02:38,810 --> 00:02:36,660
dawn Oh time for that coffee the paths

64
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:38,820
of the Perseid meteors went raced

65
00:02:42,860 --> 00:02:41,370
backwards appear to originate from the

66
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:42,870
constellation Perseus

67
00:02:47,180 --> 00:02:45,570
hence the meteor showers named but you

68
00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:47,190
don't need to know the constellation

69
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:49,560
Perseus to watch the Perseid meteor

70
00:02:54,860 --> 00:02:52,290
shower for the Perseids fly every which

71
00:02:57,530 --> 00:02:54,870
way across the starry heavens so here's

72
00:02:59,870 --> 00:02:57,540
the celestial nutshell all you need to

73
00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:59,880
know about the radiant point as viewed

74
00:03:04,820 --> 00:03:01,920
from the northern hemisphere the radiant

75
00:03:06,860 --> 00:03:04,830
sits low in the northeast sky at evening

76
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:06,870
and climbs upward throughout the night

77
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:09,209
the higher the radiant point is in your

78
00:03:13,970 --> 00:03:11,370
sky the more Perseid meteors you're

79
00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:13,980
likely to see for the Perseids the

80
00:03:19,130 --> 00:03:17,160
radiant is highest before dawn that last

81
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:19,140
is also true for the southern hemisphere

82
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:21,930
although from there the radiant point of

83
00:03:26,449 --> 00:03:23,850
the Perseid meteor shower never gets

84
00:03:28,910 --> 00:03:26,459
very high in the sky and that's why more

85
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:28,920
meteors are seen at northerly latitudes

86
00:03:32,870 --> 00:03:30,330
but if your game

87
00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:32,880
look northward in the wee hours before

88
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:35,040
dawn and you may still see Perseids

89
00:03:39,530 --> 00:03:37,290
here's some cool history the earliest

90
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:39,540
account of Perseid activity comes from a

91
00:03:46,370 --> 00:03:43,680
Chinese record in 36 ad where it was

92
00:03:49,550 --> 00:03:46,380
said that quote more than 100 meteors

93
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:49,560
flew in the morning and quotes numerous

94
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:51,570
references to the August Perseids appear

95
00:03:57,500 --> 00:03:54,450
in Chinese Japanese and Korean records

96
00:03:59,840 --> 00:03:57,510
throughout the 8th 9th 10th and 11th

97
00:04:02,060 --> 00:03:59,850
centuries meanwhile according to ancient

98
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:02,070
Western lore the Perseid shower

99
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:04,410
commemorates the time when the god Zeus

100
00:04:10,220 --> 00:04:07,049
visited the mortal maiden day nigh in

101
00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:10,230
the form of a shower of gold Zeus and

102
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:12,480
Dana became the parents of Perseus the

103
00:04:19,219 --> 00:04:15,930
hero from whose constellation yep the

104
00:04:20,750 --> 00:04:19,229
Perseid meteors radiate the Perseid

105
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:20,760
meteors happen around this time every

106
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,000
year as Earth in its orbit crosses the

107
00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:26,479
orbital path of Comet swift-tuttle

108
00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:27,630
dusty

109
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:30,000
Bree left behind by this comment smashes

110
00:04:34,010 --> 00:04:32,310
into Earth's upper atmosphere lighting

111
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:34,020
up the night time as fiery

112
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:36,870
Perseid meteors the meteor start out

113
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:39,210
slowly in the evening hours begin to

114
00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:41,490
pick up steam after midnight and put out

115
00:04:47,210 --> 00:04:43,680
the greatest number in the dark hours

116
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:47,220
before dawn so here is the old bottom

117
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:49,770
line expect these next two nights the

118
00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:51,570
nights of August 11th and 12th and

119
00:04:57,790 --> 00:04:54,960
August 12th to 13th to present the peak

120
00:05:00,500 --> 00:04:57,800
nights of the 2017 Perseid meteor shower

121
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:00,510
it's a big year in the heavens there's a

122
00:05:06,170 --> 00:05:03,600
headline solar eclipse facts from NASA

123
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:06,180
scientists we found this at the website

124
00:05:12,830 --> 00:05:09,330
PopSugar calm it gets a byline for Ann

125
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:12,840
Marie Alcantara who writes after months

126
00:05:17,930 --> 00:05:14,610
of waiting and planning the solar

127
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:17,940
eclipse is finally almost here maybe you

128
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:19,710
are one of the lucky ones traveling to

129
00:05:24,260 --> 00:05:21,840
catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse in

130
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:24,270
action or perhaps you're someone who has

131
00:05:30,530 --> 00:05:26,850
to sit this one out at work and wait for

132
00:05:33,770 --> 00:05:30,540
the next solar eclipse in 2024 whatever

133
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:33,780
the case six NASA scientists took part

134
00:05:39,770 --> 00:05:37,110
in a reddit ask me anything they answer

135
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:39,780
all the eclipse related questions Noah

136
00:05:45,980 --> 00:05:43,110
Petro a NASA postdoctoral student Alexa

137
00:05:47,780 --> 00:05:45,990
Halford a contractor at NASA Goddard in

138
00:05:49,910 --> 00:05:47,790
Maryland Mitzi Adams

139
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:49,920
solar scientist from NASA's Marshall

140
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:52,650
Space Flight Center bill cook head of

141
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:55,290
NASA's meteoroid environment office and

142
00:06:00,530 --> 00:05:58,050
Jay Herman and Guan when both

143
00:06:02,660 --> 00:06:00,540
atmospheric scientists they answered a

144
00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:02,670
variety of questions and stressed the

145
00:06:08,420 --> 00:06:04,800
importance of solar eclipse safety

146
00:06:11,140 --> 00:06:08,430
here's what they revealed Halford and

147
00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:11,150
Cooke both mentioned this animals

148
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:14,880
definitely react to the Eclipse yes

149
00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:17,310
animals might react a bit strangely to

150
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:19,280
the Eclipse Cooke wrote that quote

151
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:23,010
animals will exhibit Twilight behavior

152
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:24,090
and quotes

153
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:26,850
this could include seeing ants heading

154
00:06:31,220 --> 00:06:28,770
back up to their mounds or chickens

155
00:06:33,650 --> 00:06:31,230
going to sleep and though animals don't

156
00:06:36,050 --> 00:06:33,660
necessarily know as humans do that a

157
00:06:38,210 --> 00:06:36,060
solar eclipse is coming they quote have

158
00:06:40,580 --> 00:06:38,220
enough common sense not to look at the

159
00:06:41,629 --> 00:06:40,590
Sun during the solar eclipse and quotes

160
00:06:44,239 --> 00:06:41,639
here's an

161
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:44,249
interesting note if you are not in the

162
00:06:49,580 --> 00:06:47,370
quote path of totality and quotes of the

163
00:06:51,649 --> 00:06:49,590
solar eclipse you won't be able to tell

164
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:51,659
the difference according to Herrmann

165
00:06:56,179 --> 00:06:54,210
quote your eyes will adapt to the change

166
00:06:57,290 --> 00:06:56,189
and quotes and the light difference

167
00:06:59,239 --> 00:06:57,300
won't be that much

168
00:07:02,119 --> 00:06:59,249
it'll be like looking toward the sky

169
00:07:05,019 --> 00:07:02,129
between noon and late afternoon a little

170
00:07:07,790 --> 00:07:05,029
less bright but nothing crazy they say

171
00:07:11,809 --> 00:07:07,800
here's another hint if you can't catch

172
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:11,819
the Eclipse now waiting for it is ok the

173
00:07:16,070 --> 00:07:13,710
next solar eclipse will be here in seven

174
00:07:18,140 --> 00:07:16,080
years and waiting for that might be your

175
00:07:22,219 --> 00:07:18,150
best interest if you are in the North

176
00:07:23,809 --> 00:07:22,229
East Cook writes that quote the 2024

177
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:23,819
eclipse will be certainly more

178
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:26,460
geographically convenient and quotes for

179
00:07:32,659 --> 00:07:28,770
people in that area here's another one

180
00:07:35,869 --> 00:07:32,669
NASA can quote calculate eclipses many

181
00:07:38,179 --> 00:07:35,879
centuries ahead and quotes with the help

182
00:07:40,939 --> 00:07:38,189
of computers NASA can easily find out

183
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:40,949
when eclipses will happen Hermann wrote

184
00:07:45,769 --> 00:07:43,289
that knowing quote the motions of the

185
00:07:47,890 --> 00:07:45,779
planets and moons with high accuracy end

186
00:07:50,689 --> 00:07:47,900
quotes is what allows them to do this

187
00:07:52,730 --> 00:07:50,699
however as Cook pointed out the only

188
00:07:55,219 --> 00:07:52,740
questionable part of their calculations

189
00:07:57,439 --> 00:07:55,229
is quote the slowdown and the rate of

190
00:07:59,689 --> 00:07:57,449
the Earth's rotation end quotes here's

191
00:08:01,999 --> 00:07:59,699
another cool thing astronauts on the

192
00:08:04,730 --> 00:08:02,009
International Space Station will also be

193
00:08:07,159 --> 00:08:04,740
able to see the Eclipse well yes and no

194
00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:07,169
the astronauts will only be able to see

195
00:08:11,929 --> 00:08:09,750
the shadow it creates on earth so while

196
00:08:13,850 --> 00:08:11,939
they'll be experiencing a byproduct of

197
00:08:17,209 --> 00:08:13,860
the event they won't be able to see it

198
00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:17,219
in full from the ISS here's another

199
00:08:21,829 --> 00:08:19,289
thing the solar eclipse will be used for

200
00:08:23,689 --> 00:08:21,839
research purposes scientists will use

201
00:08:27,019 --> 00:08:23,699
the solar eclipse to study the inner

202
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:27,029
portion of the solar corona it helps

203
00:08:32,180 --> 00:08:28,889
them to quote better understand the

204
00:08:35,060 --> 00:08:32,190
transport of older storms which if earth

205
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:35,070
direct and drive geomagnetic storms and

206
00:08:39,380 --> 00:08:37,890
space weather and quotes Adams added

207
00:08:41,389 --> 00:08:39,390
that it's part of the Sun that our

208
00:08:45,079 --> 00:08:41,399
current space equipment doesn't get to

209
00:08:47,329 --> 00:08:45,089
explore and this thing it'll be the

210
00:08:48,170 --> 00:08:47,339
first solar eclipse some see in their

211
00:08:49,939 --> 00:08:48,180
lifetime

212
00:08:51,889 --> 00:08:49,949
you might have noticed that this

213
00:08:54,620 --> 00:08:51,899
particular solar eclipse is getting a

214
00:08:55,310 --> 00:08:54,630
lot of attention Herrmann thinks it's

215
00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:55,320
both because

216
00:08:59,630 --> 00:08:57,600
of social media and that for some people

217
00:09:02,420 --> 00:08:59,640
it's the first one they've ever had a

218
00:09:04,490 --> 00:09:02,430
chance to see cook also believes that

219
00:09:07,490 --> 00:09:04,500
it's because this particular Eclipse is

220
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:07,500
so unique quote this Eclipse is the

221
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:11,010
first one since 1918 in which the moon's

222
00:09:15,370 --> 00:09:13,290
shadow cuts across the United States

223
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:15,380
which is a fairly rare occurrence

224
00:09:20,570 --> 00:09:17,970
practically the entire country is within

225
00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:20,580
a day's Drive of the path of totality

226
00:09:25,460 --> 00:09:23,790
end quotes Cooke wrote the team answered

227
00:09:27,230 --> 00:09:25,470
a lot more questions and you can read

228
00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:27,240
them in full on that reddit page

229
00:09:32,930 --> 00:09:29,910
there'll be a link later at UFO headline

00:09:36,110 --> 00:09:32,940
news calm and anne-marie Alcantara who

231
00:09:39,530 --> 00:09:36,120
wrote this ends it with for now you can

nearest sun-like neighbor scientists

245
00:10:17,810 --> 00:10:14,850
have discovered the world's at the edges

246
00:10:20,270 --> 00:10:17,820
of Tau Ceti z-- habitable zone belong to

247
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:20,280
a solar system of four rocky planets

248
00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:23,250
similar in size to earth british-led

249
00:10:27,380 --> 00:10:25,200
astronomers speculate that the system

250
00:10:30,140 --> 00:10:27,390
might be a potential candidate for

251
00:10:32,510 --> 00:10:30,150
future interstellar colonization but

252
00:10:35,390 --> 00:10:32,520
life on the new outposts may be far from

253
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:35,400
peaceful there is evidence of a massive

254
00:10:40,250 --> 00:10:38,490
debris disc circling the star increasing

255
00:10:43,940 --> 00:10:40,260
the chances of the planets being pounded

256
00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:43,950
by asteroids and comets a key aspect of

257
00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:45,570
this discovery was the detection of

258
00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:49,440
exoplanets with masses as low as 1.7

259
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:52,110
times the earth making them the smallest

260
00:10:57,650 --> 00:10:54,210
world's ever spotted around a sun-like

261
00:11:00,110 --> 00:10:57,660
star the scientists used that wobble

262
00:11:02,330 --> 00:11:00,120
method of planet finding it measures the

263
00:11:05,690 --> 00:11:02,340
influence of gravitational interaction

264
00:11:08,090 --> 00:11:05,700
on a star as the planet orbits it causes

265
00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:08,100
its parent star to wobble by a tiny

266
00:11:11,059 --> 00:11:09,120
degree

267
00:11:13,699 --> 00:11:11,069
astronomers can see the signature of

268
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:13,709
this effect in the star's light lead

269
00:11:18,290 --> 00:11:16,110
researcher dr. Fabo Feng from the

270
00:11:21,079 --> 00:11:18,300
University of Hertfordshire said quote

271
00:11:23,329 --> 00:11:21,089
we're getting tantalizingly close to

272
00:11:25,939 --> 00:11:23,339
observing the correct limits required

273
00:11:27,860 --> 00:11:25,949
for detecting earth-like planets our

274
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:27,870
detection of such weak wobbles is a

275
00:11:32,269 --> 00:11:29,970
milestone in the search for earth

276
00:11:34,699 --> 00:11:32,279
analogs and the understanding of the

277
00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:34,709
Earth's habitability through comparison

278
00:11:39,769 --> 00:11:37,680
with these and quotes sun-like stars

279
00:11:41,629 --> 00:11:39,779
hold out the best hope of finding

280
00:11:43,730 --> 00:11:41,639
planets beyond the solar system that

281
00:11:45,980 --> 00:11:43,740
hosts life Tau Ceti

282
00:11:48,410 --> 00:11:45,990
a favorite destination of science

283
00:11:51,739 --> 00:11:48,420
fiction writers is very similar to the

284
00:11:54,220 --> 00:11:51,749
Sun both in size and brightness like a

285
00:11:56,689 --> 00:11:54,230
Sun it has a habitable zone that

286
00:11:59,420 --> 00:11:56,699
Goldilocks zone where everything is just

287
00:12:01,460 --> 00:11:59,430
right a narrow region around it where

288
00:12:04,309 --> 00:12:01,470
conditions are favorable for earth-like

289
00:12:07,249 --> 00:12:04,319
life conditions just right for surface

290
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:07,259
water to exist as a liquid a habitable

291
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:10,050
zone planet could have oceans lakes and

292
00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:10,889
rivers

293
00:12:16,699 --> 00:12:13,920
neither of taos Eddie's super Earths lie

294
00:12:19,129 --> 00:12:16,709
in the center of its habitable zone one

295
00:12:21,919 --> 00:12:19,139
orbits on the inner border and the other

296
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:21,929
on the outer border the earth is

297
00:12:26,660 --> 00:12:24,120
situated halfway between the middle of

298
00:12:29,119 --> 00:12:26,670
the sun's habitable zone and its inner

299
00:12:31,489 --> 00:12:29,129
boundary this group of astronomers

300
00:12:33,379 --> 00:12:31,499
analyzed starlight wavelength data

301
00:12:35,629 --> 00:12:33,389
obtained from the European Southern

302
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:35,639
Observatory in Chile and the Keck

303
00:12:39,949 --> 00:12:38,490
Observatory on Mauna Kea Hawaii their

304
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:39,959
findings are to be published in the

305
00:12:45,410 --> 00:12:42,809
astronomical journal co-author dr.

306
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:45,420
makoto me also from the University of

307
00:12:49,669 --> 00:12:47,850
Hertfordshire said improved techniques

308
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:49,679
were making it easier to distinguish

309
00:12:54,730 --> 00:12:51,689
between light signals caused by the

310
00:12:57,710 --> 00:12:54,740
presence of planets and stellar activity

311
00:13:01,489 --> 00:12:57,720
to Tau Ceti signals previously

312
00:13:05,210 --> 00:13:01,499
identified in 2013 are now known not to

313
00:13:07,579 --> 00:13:05,220
have a planetary origin but said dr.

314
00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:07,589
Twomey quote no matter how we look at

315
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:09,929
the star there seems to be at least four

316
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:13,050
rocky planets orbiting it we're slowly

317
00:13:16,699 --> 00:13:14,370
learning to tell the difference between

318
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:16,709
wobbles caused by planets and those

319
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:19,529
caused by stellar active surface this

320
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:22,049
enabled us in this case to verify the

321
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:22,769
existence

322
00:13:29,929 --> 00:13:25,290
of those two outer potentially habitable

323
00:13:33,019 --> 00:13:29,939
planets in the system and quotes oh but

324
00:13:35,449 --> 00:13:33,029
far from the end of story you can count

325
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:35,459
on the fact we will keep you apprised to

326
00:13:39,739 --> 00:13:37,529
the best of our ability here at UFO

headline news on inception radio network

328
00:13:45,069 --> 00:13:42,449
oh don't forget to check us out over the

329
00:13:48,049 --> 00:13:45,079
weekend we go off the beaten path

00:13:50,329 --> 00:13:48,059
stories that just don't fit into the

331
00:13:52,579 --> 00:13:50,339
parameters of the week we try to keep

332
00:13:56,449 --> 00:13:52,589
you updated on the latest archaeological

333
00:13:59,030 --> 00:13:56,459
digs Bigfoot sightings etc you get the

334
00:14:01,669 --> 00:13:59,040
drift it's off the beaten path so join

335
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:01,679
us over the weekend same station same

336
00:14:08,419 --> 00:14:05,610
times same Batcave hmm what a job

337
00:14:10,509 --> 00:14:08,429
description this is China is looking for

338
00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:10,519
someone to run the world's largest

339
00:14:17,179 --> 00:14:13,889
telescope Lee up we grabbed this from

340
00:14:20,210 --> 00:14:17,189
the website futurism comm byline four

341
00:14:22,819 --> 00:14:20,220
carlill and china is searching for a

342
00:14:26,269 --> 00:14:22,829
uniquely qualified radio astronomer to

343
00:14:27,650 --> 00:14:26,279
run the newly constructed fast telescope

344
00:14:30,139 --> 00:14:27,660
in southern China

345
00:14:32,539 --> 00:14:30,149
once it's operational the telescope is

346
00:14:35,569 --> 00:14:32,549
expected to generate data about dark

347
00:14:38,809 --> 00:14:35,579
matter dark energy and other unexpected

348
00:14:42,019 --> 00:14:38,819
data as well they're offering a salary

349
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:42,029
of about 1.2 million dollars a year to

350
00:14:47,210 --> 00:14:44,610
run the biggest radio telescope in the

351
00:14:50,059 --> 00:14:47,220
world it's located in a remote area of

352
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:50,069
southern China the telescope called the

353
00:14:57,410 --> 00:14:53,970
500 meter aperture spherical telescope

354
00:14:59,569 --> 00:14:57,420
yep that's us is out too fast it's

355
00:15:01,549 --> 00:14:59,579
almost twice the size okay keep your

356
00:15:07,749 --> 00:15:01,559
eyes closed okay I want to show you my

357
00:15:15,530 --> 00:15:12,049
colors and shades so be honest what do

358
00:15:16,819 --> 00:15:15,540
you think well I like how if you switch

359
00:15:17,929 --> 00:15:16,829
to Geico you could save hundreds of

360
00:15:21,199 --> 00:15:17,939
dollars on car insurance

361
00:15:23,479 --> 00:15:21,209
oh yeah that's that's true yeah here why

362
00:15:26,299 --> 00:15:23,489
don't I hold your paintbrush while you

363
00:15:28,220 --> 00:15:26,309
call them Geico because saving 15% or

364
00:15:30,409 --> 00:15:28,230
more on car insurance is always a great

365
00:15:32,299 --> 00:15:30,419
answer is the nearest comparable

366
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:32,309
facility in the world which would be the

367
00:15:35,319 --> 00:15:34,290
Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico

368
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:35,329
opera

369
00:15:40,539 --> 00:15:37,970
by the United States according to the

370
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:40,549
South China Morning Post China is

371
00:15:45,249 --> 00:15:42,649
searching for a foreigner to run fast

372
00:15:48,729 --> 00:15:45,259
because no Chinese astronomer has ever

373
00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:48,739
run a facility of its complexity in size

374
00:15:53,650 --> 00:15:50,959
they've been advertising this position

375
00:15:56,049 --> 00:15:53,660
since May but so far no qualified

376
00:15:58,179 --> 00:15:56,059
applicants have shown up this is

377
00:16:00,309 --> 00:15:58,189
explained in part by the stringent

378
00:16:02,439 --> 00:16:00,319
requirements that accompany this post

379
00:16:04,179 --> 00:16:02,449
which include a minimum of twenty years

380
00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:04,189
of experience in the field a

381
00:16:09,009 --> 00:16:07,040
professorship of equally senior role in

382
00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:09,019
a world-class university or Research

383
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:11,480
Institute and a previous leading role

384
00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:13,970
with extensive managerial experience on

385
00:16:19,389 --> 00:16:16,569
a large scale radio telescope project

386
00:16:21,729 --> 00:16:19,399
Texas A&M University astronomer Nick's

387
00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:21,739
son Zeff who worked on the dark energy

388
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:23,689
discovery and is part of the team

389
00:16:29,079 --> 00:16:25,970
overseeing construction in Chile of the

390
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:29,089
optical giant Magellan telescope said

391
00:16:32,829 --> 00:16:30,769
that there are around 40 or so

392
00:16:35,650 --> 00:16:32,839
astronomers worldwide who meet those

393
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:35,660
qualifications the radio astronomy is

394
00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:37,910
relatively small compared to other

395
00:16:42,369 --> 00:16:40,399
astronomy disciplines apparently another

396
00:16:44,859 --> 00:16:42,379
reason for the difficulty in filling the

397
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:44,869
role may be that American scientists are

398
00:16:49,929 --> 00:16:47,600
not entirely convinced of fasts

399
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:49,939
potential compared to the similar

400
00:16:54,970 --> 00:16:52,910
Odyssey bow radio telescope fast has an

401
00:16:57,249 --> 00:16:54,980
effective size of 400 meters

402
00:16:59,530 --> 00:16:57,259
however Odyssey bow can transmit radio

403
00:17:02,169 --> 00:16:59,540
waves to identify near-earth asteroids

404
00:17:05,019 --> 00:17:02,179
and other targets where as fast is

405
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:05,029
solely a passive instrument designed to

406
00:17:11,230 --> 00:17:07,850
pick up signals potentially from alien

407
00:17:13,990 --> 00:17:11,240
civilizations still fast does have

408
00:17:16,029 --> 00:17:14,000
tremendous scientific potential once

409
00:17:18,669 --> 00:17:16,039
it's up and running it's likely to yield

410
00:17:21,189 --> 00:17:18,679
some interesting data since it is

411
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:21,199
located at a very quiet radio site and

412
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:23,510
it is the world's largest filled

413
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:26,389
aperture telescope these conditions mean

414
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:28,730
it will offer far more surveying speed

415
00:17:34,299 --> 00:17:32,090
and raw sensitivity than Odyssey bow it

416
00:17:37,419 --> 00:17:34,309
will also cover two or three times more

417
00:17:40,090 --> 00:17:37,429
sky than Odyssey bow dose with this much

418
00:17:42,250 --> 00:17:40,100
more enhancement all around fast is

419
00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:42,260
likely to generate data about known

420
00:17:48,190 --> 00:17:45,529
mysteries like dark energy and dark

421
00:17:49,150 --> 00:17:48,200
matter as well as those before referred

422
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:49,160
to on

423
00:17:55,300 --> 00:17:52,010
expected discoveries we'll keep you

424
00:17:58,810 --> 00:17:55,310
posted settled back now we've got a long

425
00:18:01,420 --> 00:17:58,820
lovely story from UFO stalker calm

426
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:01,430
it's a sighting from Jimenez de la

427
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:04,010
Frontera Andalusia Spain

428
00:18:08,620 --> 00:18:06,290
this is MUFON case number eight five

429
00:18:11,650 --> 00:18:08,630
eight zero zero the date of this

430
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:11,660
sighting is August 7th 2017 it was

431
00:18:18,570 --> 00:18:15,890
reported argost 10th 2017 in summary our

432
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:18,580
witness says right flash of light

433
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:22,130
changed course appeared to spiral

434
00:18:27,910 --> 00:18:25,370
streaked off you'll see that there are

435
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:27,920
two texts you can click that accompany

436
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:31,130
this report there maps basically one map

437
00:18:36,460 --> 00:18:34,250
notes the installation of a military

438
00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:36,470
nature compared to the location of the

439
00:18:42,010 --> 00:18:39,260
witness who is defined as quote me and

440
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:42,020
quotes citing specifics give us a

441
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:44,450
viewing distance unknown an altitude

442
00:18:50,050 --> 00:18:47,210
likewise unknown the sighting duration

443
00:18:53,140 --> 00:18:50,060
was 10 minutes object features just

444
00:18:55,870 --> 00:18:53,150
reported as unknown the flight path was

445
00:18:58,330 --> 00:18:55,880
a straight-line path then a directional

446
00:19:01,390 --> 00:18:58,340
change and then a path that included

447
00:19:05,010 --> 00:19:01,400
hovering and this object shape is said

448
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:05,020
to have been flash so picture this

449
00:19:09,370 --> 00:19:07,250
because the temperatures in Spain have

450
00:19:10,930 --> 00:19:09,380
been so hot we have taken to sitting out

451
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:10,940
on the roof terrace in the late evening

452
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:13,130
to enjoy the coolness and look at the

453
00:19:18,610 --> 00:19:16,370
night sky on Monday we were looking out

454
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:18,620
at the bright full moon which was in the

455
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:21,290
southern aspect of the sky the lower

456
00:19:26,110 --> 00:19:23,510
horizon was fairly misty in the valleys

457
00:19:28,930 --> 00:19:26,120
coming up from the coast so the moon was

458
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:28,940
beautiful because it was so bright I was

459
00:19:34,210 --> 00:19:30,770
curious as to how many stars we would

460
00:19:36,850 --> 00:19:34,220
see looking up towards the Northeast my

461
00:19:38,410 --> 00:19:36,860
eye caught a bright flash of what could

462
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:38,420
have been a star just uncovered by a

463
00:19:45,580 --> 00:19:41,690
cloud then covered again however there

464
00:19:47,740 --> 00:19:45,590
wasn't a cloud in the sky curiosity made

465
00:19:49,630 --> 00:19:47,750
me keep looking into that area of the

466
00:19:53,140 --> 00:19:49,640
sky to try to figure out if this was a

467
00:19:55,420 --> 00:19:53,150
plane and figure that trajectory I know

468
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:55,430
it was not a satellite as we had

469
00:19:59,710 --> 00:19:57,410
observed one a few days previously as a

470
00:20:02,230 --> 00:19:59,720
single light traveling in a straight

471
00:20:02,930 --> 00:20:02,240
line across the sky we watched it go

472
00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:02,940
from south

473
00:20:08,780 --> 00:20:06,240
southeast to north-northwest no trail

474
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:08,790
nor was it a shooting star we see those

475
00:20:13,550 --> 00:20:11,490
regularly I pointed this out to my

476
00:20:16,510 --> 00:20:13,560
husband who confirmed that he too saw it

477
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:16,520
and it's erratic placement in the sky

478
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:19,170
there was a second flash about eight

479
00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:21,290
seconds later heading towards the east

480
00:20:26,810 --> 00:20:24,000
the next flash was back towards the

481
00:20:28,850 --> 00:20:26,820
north so I sat down in order to frame

482
00:20:31,490 --> 00:20:28,860
the area I was watching

483
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:31,500
I used the posts and poles of the

484
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:33,930
terrace to have a reference in case I

485
00:20:39,380 --> 00:20:36,930
was wobbling the next few flash as I

486
00:20:42,020 --> 00:20:39,390
noted the direction changes were random

487
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:42,030
as if it were spiraling or looping the

488
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:45,090
loop the time interval between flashes

489
00:20:51,230 --> 00:20:48,290
varied between 3 and 12 seconds apart as

490
00:20:53,780 --> 00:20:51,240
I was watching and anticipating where

491
00:20:56,540 --> 00:20:53,790
the next flash would be I noticed that

492
00:20:58,700 --> 00:20:56,550
associated with the flash was a pinpoint

493
00:21:01,370 --> 00:20:58,710
of light that I could follow with the

494
00:21:04,250 --> 00:21:01,380
naked eye the bright flash seemed to

495
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:04,260
emanate from this point every time after

496
00:21:10,010 --> 00:21:07,110
a final swirl of movement that I was

497
00:21:11,630 --> 00:21:10,020
able to clearly see it flashed really

498
00:21:14,540 --> 00:21:11,640
bright and then the brighter dot

499
00:21:17,030 --> 00:21:14,550
streaked off it left a faint trail it

500
00:21:21,110 --> 00:21:17,040
went in a Northwest direction and was

501
00:21:25,370 --> 00:21:21,120
gone I felt intrigued and convinced that

502
00:21:27,380 --> 00:21:25,380
this was a UFO one thought I had was

503
00:21:29,390 --> 00:21:27,390
that if it was a craft with one surface

504
00:21:32,330 --> 00:21:29,400
that was more reflective than the others

505
00:21:34,610 --> 00:21:32,340
then as it turned in flight it might

506
00:21:36,860 --> 00:21:34,620
have flashed with that reflection of the

507
00:21:39,140 --> 00:21:36,870
bright moon that was in the nearly

508
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:39,150
opposite quadrant of the sky and that

509
00:21:45,170 --> 00:21:40,770
would explain why I felt it was

510
00:21:48,110 --> 00:21:45,180
spiraling almost playing there are large

511
00:21:50,690 --> 00:21:48,120
eagles here that soar during the day in

512
00:21:53,510 --> 00:21:50,700
the hamana as the village is situated at

513
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:53,520
the base of a castle that had value as a

514
00:21:58,970 --> 00:21:55,770
strategic point in the time of the Moors

515
00:22:01,100 --> 00:21:58,980
and the Romans the apparent spiraling

516
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:01,110
movements of the lights reminded me of

517
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:03,690
the eagles soaring flight with the air

518
00:22:09,230 --> 00:22:05,610
currents and how they can disappear from

519
00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:09,240
view when and on I've spoken about this

520
00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:11,280
to colleagues at work I was told that

521
00:22:15,770 --> 00:22:12,720
there are others who have witnessed

522
00:22:16,820 --> 00:22:15,780
exactly the same phenomenon in the same

523
00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:16,830
region but

524
00:22:21,919 --> 00:22:19,470
viewed farther west looking east and

525
00:22:25,220 --> 00:22:21,929
north this is seen over the national

526
00:22:27,919 --> 00:22:25,230
park please note I am listing the

527
00:22:31,899 --> 00:22:27,929
coordinates of a supposedly top-secret

528
00:22:35,870 --> 00:22:31,909
United States base on my map see file -

529
00:22:38,330 --> 00:22:35,880
yep that's the top-secret quote military

530
00:22:40,850 --> 00:22:38,340
installation we don't know the

531
00:22:41,210 --> 00:22:40,860
coordinates will be available later for

532
00:22:43,399 --> 00:22:41,220
you

533
00:22:45,919 --> 00:22:43,409
sounds like something to sleuth out with

534
00:22:48,860 --> 00:22:45,929
the Google Earth this weekend we just

535
00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:48,870
have to remain on the plane in Spain a

536
00:22:55,310 --> 00:22:51,630
little longer we'll go from Andalusia to

537
00:22:56,860 --> 00:22:55,320
CEO in the Balearic Islands try as we

538
00:22:59,860 --> 00:22:56,870
might we could not find the

539
00:23:04,549 --> 00:22:59,870
pronunciation of this town it spelled s

540
00:23:07,669 --> 00:23:04,559
apostrophe I ll o T we're saying Siletz

541
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:07,679
sea oats we're not sure but it's in the

542
00:23:12,169 --> 00:23:11,010
area of Majorca and it means islets or

543
00:23:14,930 --> 00:23:12,179
little island

544
00:23:17,060 --> 00:23:14,940
but regardless here's the citing the

545
00:23:20,810 --> 00:23:17,070
specifics offer us a viewing distance of

546
00:23:24,259 --> 00:23:20,820
501 feet - one mile the altitude unknown

547
00:23:27,230 --> 00:23:24,269
sighting duration 5 seconds the object

548
00:23:29,629 --> 00:23:27,240
features unknown the flight path was

549
00:23:30,919 --> 00:23:29,639
stationary and this object was shaped

550
00:23:33,470 --> 00:23:30,929
like an oval

551
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:33,480
there's no meteorology for the island

552
00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:36,450
but here's the report I was on holiday

553
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:40,110
in Majorca it was about 9:15 p.m. when I

554
00:23:46,370 --> 00:23:42,570
decided to go out onto our balcony to

555
00:23:50,269 --> 00:23:46,380
watch the sunset so I went out and at

556
00:23:53,389 --> 00:23:50,279
about 9:20 p.m. I noticed a bright red

557
00:23:56,509 --> 00:23:53,399
light to the southeast so I lifted my

558
00:23:59,419 --> 00:23:56,519
head up to look at it properly and in

559
00:24:02,180 --> 00:23:59,429
one or two seconds it vanished so at

560
00:24:04,909 --> 00:24:02,190
first I thought oh a plane when I first

561
00:24:07,639 --> 00:24:04,919
saw it but when this object vanished and

562
00:24:11,389 --> 00:24:07,649
never returned again I felt like that

563
00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:11,399
was really strange yep we add strange

564
00:24:18,049 --> 00:24:15,510
but not uncommon not uncommon that this

565
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:18,059
broadcast has come to a close all the

566
00:24:23,870 --> 00:24:21,570
clocks in all the time zones indicate so

567
00:24:27,889 --> 00:24:23,880
we're shifting our trajectory and saying

568
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:27,899
