            • Comet born of our own Sun

              When scientists first analysed comet dust collected by the Stardust spacecraft earlier this year, they were surprised that the grains seemed to have all originated in very hot environments - the heart of a star. Astronomers were confused at the idea that the star in question could be our own Sun. How was this material transported from the hot interior of our early Solar System to the cold, outer reaches where the comet actually coalesced? Their models of the Solar System, they feared, might have to be rethought.An isotopic analysis of the grains has made that fear come true. A large chunk of comet Wild 2 does indeed come from the beginnings of our own Sun. But how it got there remains a mystery.The samples, collected from a comet in 2004 and returned to Earth in January of this year, have revealed a mixed bag of material.

              "We have seen materials that predate the Solar System and were formed around other stars or in interstellar space," says Don Brownlee of the University of Washington in Seattle, who co-authored a raft of seven papers outlining the main results from Stardust to date in Science this week. "But the surprising thing is that we also find large components that formed in the inner regions of the solar nebula."

                    • Nazi flying discs: The alternative Roswell

                      We all know the story about the incident at Roswell New Mexico. A flying "saucer" crashes in a ranchers field, the RAAF(roswell army airforce) are quickly dispatched to the scene, recovering the craft and its contents, and covering it up with a weather balloon story. It is commonly theorised that whatever crashed there that day, was a alien space craft, and bodys recovered. However, certain events in history, seem to suggest otherwise. What if the craft that crashed wasn't extra-terrestrial in nature, what if the crashed suacer was actually German in nature? To describe this we must go backwards in history to when it all started, in Germany.

                      Germany 1912 two years before the Great War of 1914-18.
                      A small unknown secret society known as the Thule society (sometimes referred to as the Vril society, and had connections to the bavarian illuminati, among other secret societies.), wandered apon plans to flying disk technology. How they got these plans, i'm still trying to figure out, some suggest that they got them from contact with a adavnaced alien species, others suggest they got them from india (look up on vimanas in the hindu holy book. There were ancient scrolls found with blueprints to flying disk technology, in tibet. These are now in the possession of the chinese space agency). However what i do know however is that junkers (german aircraft manufactures), patented the first flying disk plans in 1912 (If you have the time, look it up its there).

                      Germany 1917 during the Great War.
                      The Thule society, funds junkers to make the first flying disk, and is constructed at some point in 1917. This first disk is named Vril 1. After prolonged testing, the craft was a failure, they couldn't control the craft properly, and more research was started on a efficient control system. The way the craft works is by rotating high powered electro magnets, to distort gravity, creating a anti gravity field round the craft. Thereby negitating gravitational forces on earth, helping it stay up.

                      Germany 1920 post Great War.
                      Another disk is constructed, Vril 2. This one had a efficient control system, which worked perfectly. It could hold 1 crewmember, and could stay aloft for 2 hours. It was said that the craft had a insufficient power source.

                      Germany 1925.
                      A new flying disk is designed and constructed. The craft is called Hannebu 1. This was much larger than Vril 2, it could hold 8 crew, and stay aloft for upto 8 weeks, providing of course that the crew had sufficient supplies. A few of these were made, and put into storage.

                      Germany 1926-1930.
                      The Kuegal-Bauells project was started, with over 30 of these single seater craft made. They were small, had no armaments, and were short ranged recon craft.

                      Germany 1933.
                      Adolf Hitler a Thule society member, and his Nazi party comes to power in germany. He begins rebuilding his military, but neglects the importance of the flying disks projects. Attention is shifted from electro magnetic propulsion, to rocketry, and jet propulsion.

                      Germany 1938-1942.
                      Kuegal Bauells are seen over the skies of German occupied territory. Allied pilots sub these "Foo Fighters", no investigation was launched into what these were, however many photos are taken of them. Hitler begins to realise what potential these disks have. He orders a new project, Hannebu 2. This new craft was bigger than the first hannebu, being able to hold at least 20 people. They tested these craft with numerous armanents, in particular was one made with two Panzer VI turrets, above and below. The flying disks, were reported as not being very good for dogfighting. The control system was different to that of a normal aircraft. It could on fly straight forwards or backwards, it could only do right angled turns. It could not "wheel turn", it had to stop to turn. However it could go side to side. Current weapon systems were deemed useless on the hannebu 2, as the metallic projectiles used by the weapons, were effected by the electro magnetic field.

                      Germany 1944.
                      Things were getting desperate for hitler, as the allies were sweeping through france and denmark. He ordered another two projects, Hannebu 3 and the Andromeda project. Hannebu 3 was the same as the last two but could hold upto 30 people, and stay aloft indefinitely. Andromeda, was a cigar shaped craft, that could fly out of atmosphere. It could hold at least two craft, and could hold over 80 people. Only one was rumored to be made.

                      Germany 1945.
                      The allies were in german territory and capturing facilitys. Hitler orders the Kuegal Baull fleet to be destroyed (to stop technology falling into allied hands), and one of them to be sent to japan. Hitler then orders the whole flying disk projects to be sent to Neu Schwabenland Antartica (aka Base 2-11, New Berlin, a not so secret antartic facility made by germany in 1937). All the hannebu craft that were still under construction were dismantled, and shipped to the antartic. All the rest of the craft made their way there under their own power. 7 hours before Berlin falls, hitler escapes to argentina via a ME226 piloted by a female german officer. The Allies march into berlin after tough fighting, nothing remained of hitler, or the flying disk project.

                      Roswell New Mexico, 1947.
                      A flying disk crashes in the ranch of one W.W."Mack" Brazel. The US military are over it in days...and covered up. Why? Wouldn't the evidence of extra-terrestrial intelligence be the most important discovery in the history of man? Or was it perhaps that the crash in question, was a German made flying disk. A year and a half from the end of World War Two, in which millions died, a Nazi disk goes down on US Soil. Was this why they were so quick to cover it up? Think of it this way: Millions of American, British, French, Russian, German et al families had all lost someone at some point. The feeling of jubilation that a tyrannical and evil man had been defeated, and would never return. Then all of a sudden the public finds out that indeed we did not win, but a small outpost still remained. The public finds out that the Nazis have superior technology....There would be rioting and panic on the streets. How angry would you feel if you had just lost your only son fighting a war that still hasn't ended, even after victory was declared a year and a half prior?

                      Antartica 1948.
                      Admiral Byrd(USN), departs from the USA with a large flotilla of ships, including aircraft carriers, and over 4,000 troops. He is defeated, on the antartic continent, by "the last battalion". He limps back to the USA, the whole incident is covered up as a routine survey mission.......(more about this is another article)

                      There you have it. Greys weren't recovered at roswell, Blonde haired blue-eyed humans were.....

                        • The burning mystery of Joan of Arc

                          France's favourite saint was martyred by her English foes, who ordered her remains to be cast into the Seine. Now scientists believe they have established the facts surrounding her execution. Catholic saint, national icon and one of the world's most famous military leaders, Joan of Arc has been a subject of fascination for the French for almost six centuries. Now academics believe they are close to proving that controversial relics are actually those of the real-life Maid of Orleans. Much is unknown about the life of the warrior. Facts have often been mixed with myth and theory. But what is generally agreed is that Joan's body was burnt three times by the English and ashes from the foot of the pyre were supposedly discovered in 1867, lurking in the Paris loft of an apothecary .French scientists, who have been studying those ashes, confirmed yesterday that a piece of cloth found among the remains may have been a fragment of Joan of Arc's gown.

                          A new series of DNA tests of bones and tissue found among the ashes is expected to confirm that they belong to a female. These initial discoveries suggest recent controversial claims surrounding the death of Joan of Arc are wrong. One theory, put forward by Ukrainian anthropologist Sergey Gorbenko, suggested Joan was not even burnt at the stake but lived to the age of 57. Another theory is that she was a man.

                            • Hardy bug re-opens Mars debate

                              Submitted by Waspie Dwarf: Controversial claims have again emerged that Martian microbes could have established themselves here on Earth after hitching rides on meteorites. A handful of bacteria on Earth today have the ability to survive exposure to extremely high levels of radiation that would kill other organisms. Now, a team of scientists argues that the bugs could only have evolved this unusual ability on a planet like Mars. The claims by a Russian-American team appear in the journal Astrobiology. Recent discoveries of water in the permafrost on Mars and signs of subsurface water in mid-latitude regions have raised hopes that the Red Planet might host the right conditions for life. According to one theory, impacts on the surface of the Red Planet could have thrown Martian rocks into space, which wandered the vaccum before tumbling through Earth's atmosphere and crashing down as meteorites. If these Martian meteorites contained any life forms able to survive the journey, they might have been able to gain a foothold on our own planet, scientists speculate.The best-studied radiation-resistant microbe is Deinococcus radiodurans.

                              It can withstand several thousand times the lethal dose of radiation for humans, and has been nicknamed "Conan the bacterium" by microbiologists. But other scientists say that radiation tolerance is a side effect of the defence mechanism bacteria such as D. radiodurans have developed to protect against dehydration. D. radiodurans and other radiation-resistant bacteria survive because they are very efficient at repairing their DNA. But this is also useful for surviving extreme desiccation in arid environments. The team led by Alexander Pavlov at the University of Arizona, US, rejects this alternative explanation.
