source: ancientcode

content:
Back in 2004 , the Navy captured footage of “ unexplained aerial phenomena.
” Translation , Navy UFO footage .
While most of us already accept that there is proof of unidentified flying objects , governments , including our own , have refused in most cases to confirm they have footage .
Sixteen years , at this point , after the fact , they are grudgingly and basically without comment releasing the following UFO/UAP video .
After we show you the raw footage , we ’ ll present a collection of videos from different news and commentary sources covering the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s bombshell .
There are many takes on this footage , of course , and some include historical information and analyze the images for you , like this one from Unexplained Mysteries : A Rose By Any Other Name No matter what you call it , UFO or UAP , even mainstream news sources , like CNN , covered the video and made mention of the name-swapping .
As we all know , a rose by any other name will smell as sweet ; this video shows that the U.S. Government has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Though they did acknowledge that these videos are real , back in September 2019 , they had yet to release the video .
This CNN clip is from that initial agreement that the footage was real .
From Mainstream to The Late Show Back in 2019 , everyone rushed to cover this , and in some ways , the knowledge that UFO seekers aren ’ t insane and this sort of phenomenon is real has been lost in the simple acceptance of the issue .
That includes coverage of networks ranging from FOX @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Late Show .
Some of the footage is grainy and dark , but you can clearly see the objects being filmed .
While there are seemingly always excuses to explain away UFOs , we can finally see with our own eyes this Pentagon-kept footage .
Where Do We Go From Here ?
The past .
Here ’ s how the information was treated before the September release that the video was indeed authentic .
Contact covered the incident for the Discovery Channel : The Government has known of this for over a decade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ amateur videos out there , it ’ s hard to believe these are the only military videos .
What comes next ?
Different people have different opinions on that .
What do you think ?
Are we about to see the release of information confirming alien life , or visitation of our planet ?
Are they simply releasing what was already out there to slow people ’ s curiosity and control the messaging ?
In any case , it seems these Navy UFO videos , direct from the government , show increasing openness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaks .
Below , Frank Valchiria , author of Dreams from the Sky , talks about what he believes comes next .

id: ancientcode--2020-09-02--Pentagon’s UFO Program Briefs Government On ‘Off-World’ Vehicles

content:
The world of UFOs or UAPs ( whatever you care to call them ) continues to gain more credibility in the mainstream .
And , two recent articles from the New York Times are once again pushing the boundaries .
Now , we ’ re going from acknowledging unidentified aerial phenomena are real to suggesting the government knows about specific “ off-world ” vehicle crash debris .
One Times report is entitled , “ No Longer in Shadows , Pentagon ’ s UFO .
Unit Will Make Some Findings Public.
” The report created a big stir by confirming the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a program within the Office of Naval Intelligence .
A Senate committee report revealed spending for the program , the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force .
Excitingly , some of the findings are to be made public 180 days after passage of the intelligence authorization act .
Before this report , the Pentagon had claimed they disbanded efforts to study unidentified flying objects .
Today , the Pentagon refuses to discuss the program since it deals with classified material .
However , we are now certain the government continues to study the phenomena @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other nations have leapfrogged our aviation technologies .
Senator Marco Rubio revealed that he wanted to know about potential security risks posed by objects flying over military bases .
Rubio confirmed he ’ d seen reports on unidentified aerial phenomena for “ the better part of a decade.
” Interestingly , he claims to want to make any information learned public “ as much as possible.
” See an interview with Rubio below : The Times article also mentions former Senate majority leader , Harry Reid , who recently spoke to famous investigative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In the July interview , Reid says nobody knows the origin of UFOs .
However , Reid was quoted in the Times as saying he ’ s seen “ substantive ” reports of “ actual materials that the government and the private sector had in their possession.
” The Times also quotes astrophysicist Eric W. Davis , a consultant for the once-secret program that Reid initiated in Las Vegas .
The Times first disclosed the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program ’ s ( AATIP ) existence in 2017 , which started in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pentagon and Congress as recently as March about “ off-world vehicles not made on this earth.
” After the Times article was published , Reid tweeted that he never suggested the government has “ flying objects or debris from other worlds.
” Then , the Times added a correction on July 24 that states : Although Reid does not believe that UFOs necessarily point to extraterrestrials , he attempted to learn more by starting another program in 2009 .
That effort intended to interact with other secret programs to find out if rumors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true .
However , he explains the program wasn ’ t approved .
“ Now , I wanted to make sure that that was valid or not valid .
The Defense Department wouldn ’ t approve it , ” Reid told Knapp .
“ What do you think of that , ” responded Knapp .
“ Do you think somebody ’ s got pieces or a craft ?
” “ But I don ’ t know , George , ” said Reid .
“ I don ’ t know why they wouldn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unless there ’ s something to it that I don ’ t understand , ” he continued .
See Reid speak to Knapp below : A more recent Times report from the same team of journalists that disclosed AATIP in 2017 delved further into the possibility the government might possess UFO crash material .
Although any public evidence remains unknown , the report states the words “ off-world ” and “ and materials retrieved from crashes ” are used to describe phenomena in unclassified slides used in briefings .

content:
Wild dogs among those thought to be “ the most ancient domestic dogs on earth ” have been rediscovered in Papua New Guinea after half a century .
These dogs , dubbed New Guinea Singing Dogs , have a yodeling howl that some think sounds like singing .
According to others , their singing is comparable to that of the humpback whale .
Ostrander , a co-author of newly-published research on the dogs , says they resemble eight New Guinea Singing Dogs brought to the United States many years ago .
Take a listen to that incredible yodel below : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dogs were extinct in the wild , but DNA testing has revealed they live on in the rugged highlands of the island .
The breed was first described in 1897 .
Researcher James McIntyre , president of the New Guinea Highland Wild Dog Foundation , helped rediscover the dogs in extreme weather and terrain .
Residents of Papua , Indonesia , had spotted them in 2016 hiding out in a sanctuary near the Grasberg gold and copper mine .
However , some people suspected the dogs were probably local strays that became feral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obtained DNA from two trapped wild dogs and one dog , which was found deceased .
When researchers examined the samples , they concluded the dogs ’ DNA belonged to the “ ancestral line from which the singing dogs descended.
” Thus , the dogs are relatives of Australian dingoes and Asian dogs that humans brought to Oceania around 3,500 years ago .
One of the researchers who studied the DNA , Heidi G. Parker , told the New York Times : Today , a few hundred captive singing dogs remain in zoos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are descendants of a few wild dogs captured in the 1970s .
Over the years , they have become inbred , weakening the animals ’ genetic line .
Now , discovering the wild population means the captive population could be saved .
Using modern techniques , the researchers hope to create a stable and true New Guinea Singing Dog population .
Recommended Read : Archaeologists confirm that dogs can successfully sniff out ancient tombs from 800 BC Although it remains unclear , the researchers think the singing dogs could have a common ancestor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Shiba Inu .
However , the New Guinea Singing Dogs have genomic variants different from all other dogs today .
Excitingly , studying these ancient canines could teach us more about how modern dogs evolved .
Interestingly , they have many unique characteristics that set them apart from domestic breeds today .
Notably , a spine-tingling singing voice isn ’ t the only feature that sets this ancient breed apart .

id: ancientcode--2020-10-08--Ancient Aliens: Modern UFO from Chile Matches Ancient Chilean Geoglyph

content:
Chile has an incredible rate of UFO sightings , among the highest in the world .
Today , some call the country ’ s coastline “ Alien Alley.
” A recent UFO video from Chile is the subject of Ancient Aliens , Season 15 , Episode 3 , “ Destination Chile.
” We ’ ll review the episode and the compelling evidence that connects an ancient petroglyph with a bizarre and remarkable modern UFO sighting .
First , the show delves into the amazing history and geoglyphs in Chile , including the Atacama Desert .
The Atacama Desert , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Atacama Desert in northern Chile is the dryest place on the planet , even though it runs along the west coast of South America .
Conditions in the desert have long been compared to the Red Planet , Mars .
Thus , NASA has carried out testing in the Atacama , drawing comparisons to probable conditions on Mars .
In 2013 , a NASA rover found many microbes living beneath the parched sand in the Chilean desert , traveling by wind .
The study results from 2019 determined “ that microbial life can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most UV irradiated desert on Earth.
” The authors speculated that similar microbes might spread across the Martian landscape , 140 million miles away .
Could life be similar in Chile and on Mars ?
Ancient Astronaut theorist David Childress believes there ’ s much more in common than microbes .
Citing geoglyphs similar to those found at Nazca , Peru , Childress notes they are meant to be seen from the air .
Although the Nazca lines are famous , there are five times as many geoglyphs in the Atacama Desert .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” is a massive alien-looking creature with points extending from its head .
Amazingly , the figure stands 30 feet longer than a football field at 390 feet tall .
On the ground , it ’ s nearly invisible but easily spotted from the air .
Ancient Astronaut theorists believe they were meant to signal extraterrestrial visitors similar to marks or on a runway .
Today , UFO sightings are more frequent in the area of the Atacama .
So much so , that Rodrigo Fuenzalida , Director of Aion Chile , says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of arrival point.
” In San Clemente , Chile , in 2008 , a national UFO trail was created that leads to an impressive formation known as El Enladrillado .
There , 233 massive megaliths weighing ten tons apiece were erected like a giant platform in ancient times .
Author Erich von Däniken believes the remote location could have once served as a spaceport .
Today , tourists can visit and see for themselves .
The Selk ’ nam Tribe and Bizarre Rituals to Sky Gods In 1919 in Tierra Del Fuego at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ German anthropologist , Martin Gusinde , visited the native tribe called the Selk ’ nam , also known as the Ona people .
Unfortunately , the tribe was wiped out by English explorers .
As radio host Victor Hidalgo points out , some tribe members were taken back to be shown in “ human zoos , ” and the tribe was subject to genocide .
Before being wiped out , Gusinde published a book about the Selk ’ nam called , “ The Lost Tribes of Tierra Del Fuego.
” There , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their bodies in bright red with white lines .
Their heads are elongated and immediately seem alien .
In once case , a costume had strange antennae protruding from both sides of the head .
Immediately , one thinks of the Atacama Giant , with the peculiar points emanating from the head .
The Selk ’ nam tribe had a deep belief in otherwordly visitors , and today , it appears visitations may still be taking place .
Fuenzalida confirms the area where the tribe once lived is a hotspot for UFO activity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in Santiago , Chile , the longest-running variety show on television broadcast reported a UFO moving for 40 minutes along half of Chile ’ s coastline .
The path moved along the Atacama down to Tierra Del Fuego .
Today , nobody knows what the object was .
In 1977 in Pampa Lluscuma , Chile , just below the Atacama , a military unit witnessed two shining violet UFOs land .
Corporel Armando Valdés recounted disappearing into the light , appearing again to find that five days had passed .
His beard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the date from five days in the future .
However , his men only witnessed the lapse of a few minutes .
Encounters like this one are one of the hundreds reported over centuries and possibly going back thousands of years .
However , unlike in the United States , the Chilean government is openly looking for answers .
Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena In 1990 , Augusto Pinochet stepped down , ushering in reforms that led to more transparent attitudes , including toward UFOs .
By 1997 , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena .
Pilots were regularly reporting UFOs , some of which came dangerously close to government aircraft .
Hugo Camus , the CEFAA director , explains that the agency takes reports from residents all over Chile .
Rather than hide the evidence from the public , the government is committed to transparency .
Camus encourages other governments like our own to follow suit .
Thanks to CEFAA , there is more video evidence of UFO phenomena .
For example , a video from the El Bosque Air Force @ @ @ @ @ @ @ zipping by squadrons of fighter jets flying in an acrobatic air-show .
The jets were part of a celebration to commemorate a change in Air Force command .
Following analysis of the video , the UFO was estimated to be flying at an astonishing 4,000 mph .
CEFAA found the object on seven separate videotape pieces , indicating it was not an aberration in the film .
On November 11 , 2014 , near Santiago , Chilean Navy officers testing an infrared FLIR camera aboard a helicopter captured an object flying beside them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it for a few minutes , the craft discharged a plume behind it .
Although not visible with the naked eye or radar , the infrared camera caught it all on tape for nine minutes .
Then the government released the footage in 2017 .
In 2019 , Image analyst Michael Bradbury and astrophysicist Travis Taylor sat down to review this UFO footage .
After reviewing the footage from 2014 , they noticed the object appeared to be two diamond-shaped objects .
Bradbury concludes the objects must be large since the footage was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filters , Bradbury isolates the image to show a heat signature .
Taylor notices a circle of cold air around the craft , which baffles him since there is a thin hot layer immediately around the craft .
Examining the video showing the plume that comes out , the experts note that the plume is hot but not made up of particulates as in normal aircraft .
Remarkable Similarity to an Ancient Geoglyph in the Same Area After concluding the footage does seem to show a vehicle with otherworldly features , Bradbury shows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a photo of a Chilean geoglyph that bears a striking resemblance to the UFO footage .
The geoglyph shows two diamond-shaped objects with a plume-like object dissected by a line .
However , the geoglyph is of undetermined age and could be hundreds or even thousands of years old .
Thus , we have a modern UFO which closely resembles what ancient people depicted long ago .
However , it remains a total mystery how they could have seen such a craft as we only see it through infrared technology .
How is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ geoglyph , or was it made or instructed by extraterrestrials ?
Decide for yourself .

id: ancientcode--2020-10-10--Researchers Stunned by ‘Plausible’ Sign of Life on Venus

content:
Venus is often the subject of stories about Venusians and extraterrestrial life .
However , the idea of life on Venus seems crazy .
After all , temperatures on the surface of the second planet from the sun can melt lead at 880 degrees Fahrenheit .
Nevertheless , scientists have just announced they ’ ve detected a possible sign of alien life on the planet .
How is this even possible in a world so inhospitable ?
Now , they think that extraterrestrial life could be living in the sulfuric clouds of our closest planetary neighbor .
According to Reuters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which could be produced by microbes in low-oxygen conditions .
The lead researcher was “ stunned ” by the unexpected finding .
Below , see astronomer David Kipping discuss the exciting discovery .
In an earlier article by Sousa-Silva , she pointed out that phosphine is also unusually smelly but her favorite molecule nonetheless .
The pyramid-shaped molecule of phosphorous and three hydrogen atoms is created by microbes and is noxious to most lifeforms on Earth .
She was considering looking for phosphine on other worlds but never thought she ’ d @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She elaborated on phosphine , which she could only imagine would one day be found on another planet at the time .
“ One day , we might detect phosphine in one of these atmospheres .
These would not be fun places for us ; frankly , we might find them disgusting .
On the other hand , the residents of these planets would probably find us disgusting too ( a problem for interplanetary diplomacy to overcome ) .
Nonetheless , if we find phosphine on a rocky planet in the habitable zone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we will have found life , ” she wrote .
Why is the Gas Constantly Replenished ?
Did the researchers find life ?
Well , they might have .
On the other hand , it could indicate that some unknown process produced the phosphine .
Interestingly , the study shows that the gas appears to be constantly replenished .
But why ?
They aren ’ t yet sure .
Scientists know the smelly gas exists on Jupiter and Saturn but don ’ t suspect it was created by life .
There , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ giants created the gas .
Meanwhile , on Earth , phosphine is found in anaerobic conditions inside sewage plants , marshlands , and strangely , the intestinal tracts of fish and human babies .
Although it sounds incredible that Venus could harbor life , the idea has been around for decades .
In the 60s , scientists suspected that Venus ’ upper atmosphere could harbor life .
Today , it appears they might have been onto something after all .
So , what comes next ?
The scientists say it could take years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life on Venus .
Currently , two NASA missions to the planet are under review and seem more likely given the exciting findings .

id: ancientcode--2020-10-17--An Ancient Tablet’s Clue to Immortality Sounds Like One Scientists Study Now

content:
A strange alien-looking creature spreading across the world ’ s oceans is practically immortal .
It ’ s Turritopsis dohrnii , the “ immortal jellyfish ” that can avoid death when stressed .
In a manner that ’ s similar to a butterfly reverting to a caterpillar , the jellyfish reverts to its coral-like polyp stage .
Then , it goes on to become a jellyfish again , bypassing death altogether .
It wasn ’ t until the 90s that scientists became aware of how amazing this little creature truly is .
However , the tiny creature , also called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more widely known .
Could the immortal jelly reveal clues about fighting cancer or even unlock the secrets of immortality for humans ?
Well , such an idea isn ’ t new at all .
The concept dates back thousands of years to one of the earliest recorded works of literature , as we ’ ll see .
A Coral-Like Key to Immortality Adrift in the Oceans ?
Today , many scientists are doubtful the key to immortality can be found in the jellyfish .
However , one of the world ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , from Japan ’ s Kyoto University , has high hopes .
Kubota is one of the world ’ s only people to have maintained the jellyfish ’ s captive population for over 15 years .
Although they can avoid death under certain stressful conditions , they are generally hard to maintain artificially , requiring daily feedings .
Another expert , Dr. Maria Pia Miglietta from Texas A & M University , studies the jellyfish .
She refers to what she ’ s learned about Turritopsis ’ processes as “ the Holy Grail @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this below in the video from Quartz : The immortal jellyfish can transform its cells through transdifferentiation .
Thus , the jelly ’ s muscle cells can turn into nerve cells , sperm , or egg cells .
However , transdifferentiation is not unique to the jellyfish and has been induced experimentally in mice .
What ’ s more , humans have similar abilities throughout the body in stem cells .
In time , as more scientists study Turritopsis dohrnii and stem cells , is it possible humans can discover how to bypass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transformational abilities ?
Will people one day be able to transform into a more youthful state ?
It ’ s possible .
The Secret of Immortality Found in an Ancient Text Whether humans can attain immortality seems like something from science fiction .
However , the idea is ancient , dating back thousands of years before science fiction existed in ancient Babylonian mythology .
In the Epic of Gilgamesh , dating back to at least 5,000 years ago , the King of Uruk , Gilgamesh , learns about a secret to immortality .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ immortal jellyfish , slowly spreading across the world today in the ballasts of ships .
Gilgamesh , Utnapishtim , and the Quest for Eternal Life In the Gilgamesh epic , Gilgamesh goes on a quest for eternal life .
In that quest , he consults with the great sage Utnapishtim , the only man to survive a great world flood .
Along with his wife , they preserved animal and human life in a great boat , which they built .
Yes , it sounds identical to the biblical story of Noah but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noted the similarities between Gilgamesh and the Bible ’ s Noah ’ s Ark in a review of the Noah movie from 2014 : Related Read : The Epic Of Gilgamesh , Tablet XI , The Flood And A Comparison To the Bible ’ s Flood Like Noah , Utnapishtim survives , but then the god Enlil rewards him and his wife with immortality .
Thus , they become the ancestors of a new human race .
The Secret at the Bottom of the Sea Did Utnapishtim , who was granted immortality by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immortality ?
After finally finding the immortal sage , Gilgamesh learns that the secret is at the sea ’ s bottom .
At first , Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh that only the gods can grant immortality .
Then , he concedes that there may be a way to rejuvenate to a more youthful state .
At that point , he tells Gilgamesh about a “ plant ” found at the bottom of the ocean .
This plant could reveal secrets about longer life , if not immortality .
So , Gilgamesh sets out to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a box-thorn ” sometimes translated to a coral .
Then , he manages to lose it – to a snake .
Thus , Gilgamesh must learn to live with his mortality and dies unable to unlock the undersea coral ’ s secrets .
Could one of the world ’ s oldest stories be talking about the immortal jellyfish ?
Well , when the jellyfish is injured , it can fall to the bottom of the sea .
Then , it turns into a blob and grows into a plant-like polyp .
Indeed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ story of Gilgamesh and the factual reality of the immortal jellyfish .
Perhaps one day , unlike Gilgamesh , scientists might discover the secrets for rejuvenation or a cure for cancer and brain disease , if not immortality ?
Already , scientists have learned how to reprogram cells in adult mice to make them young stem cells .
Also , scientists have learned that jellyfish could be one of our most distant ancient ancestors in recent years : the root of the Tree of Life .

In recent years, Emslie says a warming trend has reached deeper into the continent than before. As the ice has melted, it has exposed a penguin colony dating back thousands of years.

Despite so many years, the penguin’s feathers remained intact. Flesh remained as if the birds had died recently. Also, stains from the bird’s waste were still apparent on rocks as if no time had passed.

Ancient penguin mummies
Emslie described what he found:
“This particular site is in the Ross Sea in east Antarctica, and it was a very cold dry place compared to other parts of Antarctica so the preservation is even better and there was mummification,” Emslie said. “What I found at the site were a lot of bones and mummies on the surface. Some of the penguin remains looked pretty fresh, so it seems like there was a mixture of old and fresh remains, and that seems strange to me at this location, which hasn’t had breeding penguins reported there in the history of people going to Antarctica.

Antarctica's Snowmelt Has Uncovered A Hidden Colony Of Mummified Adélie Penguinshttps://t.co/Kthy8f6gM9 pic.twitter.com/9tgslraGmY — IFLScience (@IFLScience) September 30, 2020
The Adélie penguins used the nesting grounds for thousands of years. Strewn about the site, countless pebbles are a tell-tale sign. As Adélie penguins nest, they gather pebbles to protect their eggs.
As recently as 100 years ago, nothing was found at the same location by early explorers. Today, after 800 years, the ancient colony is once again visible.
What happened to the penguin colony?
According to the Times:
“Dr. Emslie speculates in the journal Geology. where he reported his findings in mid-September, that cooling temperatures drove a type of sea ice to form along the coast that persisted well into summer months. Known as “fast ice” because it “fastens” to the coastline, this sea ice makes it very difficult for penguins to gain access to beaches and prevents them from colonizing places where it occurs.”
Today, sea levels are rising along with temperatures. Fortunately, Adélie penguins alive today are proving adaptable, seeking out new nesting grounds. Now, the scientist believes they will return to their ancestor’s old nesting ground. Finding the wealth of pebbles already in place, they may find the location highly desirable.
“They need pebbles for their nests, so they are going to find all the pebbles that are already on the land at this site very attractive,” he said. “I would not be surprised to see them make this place their home again in the near future,” said Emslie.

An Adélie penguin ‘Supercolony’
In 2018, scientists revealed the discovery of a huge ‘supercolony’ of Adélie penguins in Antarctica. Studying NASA satellite images, they spotted penguin feces in the remote Danger Islands.
Before the discovery, researchers believed the penguin populations were on the decline. Afterward, they counted over 750K pairs of penguins.

Intruders in Earth’s last ‘untouched’ wilderness
As Antarctica warms, there is a surge in tourism in one of the wildest remaining places on Earth. Mostly by cruise ships, there could be more than 78,500 visitors this year, up from 56,000 tourists in the two prior years.
As humans begin to arrive more frequently, scientists fear they will disrupt the fragile, relatively untouched environment. Along with the people, insects and plant seeds could arrive. Thus, isolated penguin colonies and other wildlife will have to rapidly adapt to more than climate change alone.
Antarctica has seen incredible changes over millions of years. Some 250 million years ago, the continent may have been covered with forests and rivers. Instead of penguins, early relatives of the dinosaurs called Antarctica home.

id: ancientcode--2020-10-29--Was the Drive to Rewrite the Code of Life Seeded In Our DNA?

content:
If extraterrestrials visited Earth in the distant past , what kind of evidence might they leave behind ?
For Paul Davies , an Astrobiologist from Arizona State University , the traces of ancient alien ( or their robot ) visits might be found in one of three places : Now the third option isn ’ t literal but could be any number of things .
For example , Davies suggests that the message “ could be living cells.
” Davies noted that viruses could encode DNA , so why not extraterrestrials ?
Indeed , it ’ s one of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ theory .
See Davies discuss this in the video from Big Think below : At the time , Davies knew that finding a message from extraterrestrials in our DNA was a stretch .
However , not long after , two scientists from Kazakhstan reported they might have discovered just that : an “ intelligent “ signal within the human genetic code.
” The mathematician and astrobiologist titled their paper “ The ‘ Wow !
signal ’ of the terrestrial genetic code.
” The Acknowledgments give the nod to Davie ’ s ideas .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ now-famous 1977 SETI signal that prompted a researcher to write , “ Wow !
” next to it .
The researchers didn ’ t use the phrase “ intelligent design , ” but suggested they found code that seemed to be “ seeded intentionally.
” That information , they argued , appeared to be non-biological and mathematical and symbolic .
They speculated the ancient code came from another solar system , possibly intentionally seeded by panspermia .
Could it be the “ message in a bottle ” that Davies suggested before them ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the video clip from the History Channel ’ s Ancient Aliens series below .
Prepare to entertain the idea the humans are nothing more than artificially created “ organic robots ” with artificial intelligence .
( A.I . )
The scientists from Kazakhstan don ’ t claim to know how an ancient code was seeded in our genes .
Rather , they suggest the DNA code could have arrived on Earth through panspermia , space dust that drifted from outer space .
However , modern stories about extraterrestrials actively tinkering with humans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Astronaut theorists .
In at least one case , there was some evidence of interbreeding between an extraterrestrial and human .
A man named Peter Khoury claimed that two humanoid females entered his room .
One of the humanoids had long blond hair , large eyes , and a long chiseled face .
The other appeared to be Asian in appearance .
Following a bizarre sexual encounter with the blond woman , he found and kept a piece of her hair she left behind .
Later the DNA from the optically clear hair @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Instead of being typical of a light-skinned caucasian woman , they were characteristic of rare Chinese and old Gaelic lineage .
See Khoury discuss the story in the video from the History Channel below : Are extraterrestrials actively designing humans ’ DNA in some way even today ?
Well , now , humans are doing it themselves .
The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna for their 2012 work in precisely editing DNA .
As they were introduced for the prize , the secretary-general @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Goran K. Hansson , said : The two women stumbled across the revolutionary technique called Crispr while studying the bacteria that causes scarlet fever .
When inspecting the microbe ’ s DNA , they found repeating segments .
These segments were made up of regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats : Crispr for short .
The segments were derived from a virus that had attempted to infect the bacteria .
Thanks to their research , repeating code from a virus has revealed how to change our DNA effectively .
As Paul Davies said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , E.T .
can do it.
” Now , we are doing it too , and rapidly transforming science , the world , and probably ourselves .
Is it possible this discovery was inevitable , something artificially ingrained in our being all along ?
Are we artificial

content:
During an internship at the Petrified Forest in Arizona , Idaho State University Ph.D. student Xavier Jenkins and a group of National Park Service interns made a spectacular find .
They found fossils of a strange reptile called a drepanosaur , which probably lived before dinosaurs .
Drepanosaurs lived during the Triassic Period , a time known as the dawning age of dinosaurs .
Jenkin ’ s colleague Virginia Tech graduate student Ben Kligman happened across the fossil-rich site they called “ Thunderstorm Ridge.
” The new creature was “ quite literally found in a deposit of fossilized poop , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ago , the Petrified Forest was swampy , with gentle rivers and lakes .
Today , it ’ s one of the country ’ s oldest national parks .
Jenkins suggested that the fossil shows that millions of years ago the area might have been strangely familiar .
Like today , animals occupied all available ecological niches .
Thus , you could find animals swimming , flying , climbing , and burrowing .
Drepanosaur : a Cross Between an Anteater , Chameleon , and Bird The creature dubbed Skybalonyx skapter lived 220 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ translates to “ dung-claw digger.
” The name is a reference to an unusually wide claw on the second finger .
After studying the fossils , a team of researchers says it looked like a cross between an anteater and chameleon .
With the enlarged claw , the creature dug a burrow like a mole or an echidna .
Previously , it was thought all drepanosaurs were insectivorous tree-dwellers .
A news release from Petrified Forest National Park described the appearance : The University of California Museum of Paleontology described the creature as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s spare parts box.
” Recommended reading : Mass extinction saw an invasion of giant-headed Komodo Dragon-like Triassic predators According to WRTV , the team found the fossil by a method similar to panning for gold .
The discovery of a new ancient reptile is just the beginning .
Amazingly , the lead paleontologist , Adam Marsh , says there were more than 3,000 fossils discovered in the area over two years .
See what Skybalonyx skapter possibly looked like in the artwork below : Notably , the discovery shows life in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ longer than previously thought .
In related news , a paleontological team from Virginia Tech discovered an extremely rare frog fossil near Petrified Forest National Park in 2019 .
The frog also lived during the Triassic , thought to be living in near a river where large horsetail-like plants and giant trees grew .
At the close of the Triassic period , a wave of volcanic activity caused a spike of CO2 in the atmosphere .
As a result of rapid global warming and ocean acidification , most life , including the drepanosaurs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the age of now more familiar dinosaurs began .

content:
The Carolinas are a hotbed of documented UFO sightings .
In fact , the Queen City of Charlotte has been rated among the top 10 large North American cities for UFO sightings .
So far , there have been 153 sightings of mysterious lights , discs , and orbs in the sky since 1910 .
Last year , we shared the story of a man from Liberty , North Carolina , who caught a UFO on a Facebook Live video .
Now , there has been another similar UFO sighting reported in the Charlotte Observer .
This time , an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pilot came forward with his UFO account .
Charles Cobb of Morganton once served on a Navy destroyer during the Korean War .
Thus , he ’ s certainly familiar with aircraft , but at 11:18 a.m. on June 12 , 2020 , he saw something unlike he ’ d ever seen before .
Cobb makes daily visits to Silver Creek Airport in Morganton , where he keeps a 1940 Piper Cub .
On Friday , the 12th , he was sitting at the airport and spotted a strange object in the sky @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sky .
As it shot up and down , it moved in the direction of Table Rock , a popular tourist spot with a panoramic view .
For 15 to 20 minutes , he observed it flying .
After all his years around aircraft , he hadn ’ t seen one that could “ zoom up almost out of sight ” as it was doing .
The longtime pilot described a round , irregular orb shooting thousands of feet into the air .
Then , it would plummet back down and soar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was some 30,000 to 40,000 feet high with an exhaust plume trailing behind it .
At times , it would vanish and then fly paralell to the ground .
As a pilot , he knew how to identify aerial phenomena such as comets , and this was no comet .
At first , he thought it appeared to be “ a huge kite with a tail.
” In the middle of the orb , it appeared to be “ opaque.
” After watching a while , he took out his iPad and snapped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ later shared with the Observer .
The Observer confirmed with the nearby Astronomy Club that the object was almost certainly not a comet .
Bernard Arghiere , the board director of the Asheville group confirmed : “ There is no reported astronomical object , certainly not a comet , in the sky that would appear that bright on that June 12 , 2020 , date , ” Arghiere said in an email .
“ There were no comets then that would be that bright , so they would be visible in the daytime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me more like sunlight reflected off a distant jet and its related condensation trail ; typically , that would disappear from sight in less than 20 minutes.
” “ Good luck getting a definitive answer on this one , ” he added .
Veteran Pilot Says It Wasn ’ t a Plane or Reflection Notably , Cobb pointed out that he viewed the orb for an extended period and was convinced it was not a plane reflection .
Going by reports to the National UFO Reporting Center , we can see that similar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cobb ’ s sighting , the morning of June 12 .
About ten hours after Cobb saw the orb , Huntersville ’ s witness reported seeing “ bright light flares ” turning 90 degrees in the sky .
Then , in nearby Salisbury the following morning , someone reported a “ spear or teardrop structure streaming across the sky with a vapor trail and cast off glare from the rising sun.
” In Arden , NC , someone reported a “ Glowing orange inverted teardrop silently flying low overhead , ” on June @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported in Ocean Isle Beach on the same day and previously on the 25th over North Myrtle Beach .
Indeed , the reports about orange flying orbs are very common .
Below , see a couple of the posts we ’ ve made about these UFOs .

Also , they noted that “ UFO sightings in various parts of the globe have increased drastically.
” The rise in reports follows the 2017 Pentagon admission that they have secretly been studying unidentified aerial phenomena for years .
Cobb decided to come forward with his account after seeing the video below about an airline pilot who reported a UFO .
The object came dangerously close to the plane he was piloting as it traveled from Dallas-Fort Worth to Charlotte in 2003 .

id: ancientcode--2020-11-12--Fairies: Nothing Like American Myths, Says Irish Farmer of Ancient Land

content:
In Ireland , stories about the fairies persist today .
However , they aren ’ t like the fairies depicted in America at all .
🧚♂ 🧚♀ Rather than looking like the winged creatures of myth , Irish farmer Pat Noone says faires look like people .
He ’ s seen them often playing music , drinking , and dancing .
“ The fairies [ are ] the very same as us .
Not quite as tall , ” he says .
“ They are not tall people .
They ’ re dressed in green and red , ” says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they may also change appearance , taking on the same height as observers .
Speaking plain English or any other language you prefer , the aos sí ( fairy world ) members live an congregate .
At the Green Hills Farm in Kilconnell , Noone has been farming for 40 years .
There , he has become well-known for his connection to the fairies on ancient sacred land .
The 17-acre farm is the site of a fairy field and a porthole to another world .
Related : Who were the shining beings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said to once rule Ireland ?
Noone says that his farm was built on a “ massive ley line , ” where massive ancient stones were arranged .
Noon estimate the megaliths could be 7,000 years old , but nobody can say for sure .
One of the standing stones he calls “ the fertility stone , ” which he says draws in people sensitive to energy fields .
A large Bronze-age burial mound is the resting place of an ancient Chieftan .
Noone estimates the burial took place two-and-a-half to three thousand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ railway on the farm , workers found seven halberds , ceremonial swords used by the Celts .
After the sword ’ s discovery in 1840 , the blades reside in a museum in London .
Not only does the land have a healing force , but the farmer also considers himself a healer .
Using copper wire , he lowers it around volunteers .
Does he claim to cure illness ?
No , but instead says he can release healing energy in the body and third eye .
On occasion , the farmer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ healing rituals .
“ A guy from America came in here two years ago ; he was a Puritan ; he wanted me to do land healings in America .
I was flown out to America to do land healings on up through New England .
Further explaining , he said “ I do land healings for people that the land is cursed and has no luck – I will bring back the luck .
I get photographs ; people ring me from as far away as Scotland , Wales , and England @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or anything with land , to see if there ’ s fairy trees if they don ’ t want to disturb them.
” Standing in sacred places on the land , Noone says there are portals to other worlds , which sometimes give visitors a sense of inner peace .
For a generation , his family has been careful not to clear away whitethorn bushes , associated with the fairies .
Even though clearing the ground would offer more grazing for cattle , the family leaves the bushes undisturbed .
“ That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They were keepers of the land ; they kept the land sacred , ” Noone says of his father ’ s refusal to touch the whitethorn bushes .
Also , there are fairy trees , which visitors attach pieces of material as a “ thank you or a wish to the fairies.
” Now , he prefers to offer rushes because the trees were becoming totally covered in strands of cloth .
See Pat Noone discuss the fairies below from Ronan Kelly ’ s Ireland : In 2011 , Noone ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Twin Towers on 9/11 .
During that frightening experience , he focused on an image of the serene farm and his brother at an old ash tree .
Thinking of this , the memory helped him get through the terrorist attack .
When asked what kind of things people experience at Green Hills , Noone says : Although many people report having a sense of peace , others have been scared out of their minds .
Visitors to a “ fairy fort ” created near an old tree have attempted to stay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night , they have left in terror , refusing to say what they experienced .
Other places at the farm are off-limits , as it would upset the fairies to see campers or cutting down trees .
Noone himself describes occasional disorienting moments where he has lost all memory of where he is .
Others driving along the road have forgotten where they are for a few moments , which he calls “ the fairy stray , ” a trance-like state .
“ The old people used to say when you go out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bring a pocket of stones .
Nobody ever knew what the pocket of stones was for , ” says Noone .
Now , he believes the stones were needed to throw at the ground .
Otherwise , one could mistake a river for a road .
Although they may be tricksters on occasion , Noone claims they are also good and want to be respected .
In some cases , one might ask for a favor .
However , then , they will ask for one in return .
