Alien Spaceships are Coming to Earth, November 2011


Planet Earth and it's natural satelite - the Moon


NASA confirmed that three alien spaceships are on track to arrive in Earth’s atmosphere.

Three giant alien spaceships are heading for Earth! Scientists predict they will arrive in November of  2011.


Three giant ships with aliens are traveling to Earth. We will meet them soon - in November, estimated scientists from the Research Center of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence). Do not rush to enjoy your dream to see a UFO, because the intentions of the aliens are not clear. 


Aliens who recently passed by Jupiter, are detected by the system HAARP, based in Alaska. HAARP was designed to study the phenomenon of northern lights.
“Three giant spaceships are heading toward Earth. The largest one of them is 200 miles wide. Two others are slightly smaller. At present, the objects are just moving past Jupiter.  Judging by their speed, they should be on Earth by the fall of  2011” said John Malley, the lead extraterrestrial expert at SETI. 


Scientists are adamant that these are alien ships. In November 2011 - when they reach Mars' orbit - they will be close enough to be seen with optical telescope. The U.S. government is aware of the "event". 


Alien (not a real picture)

Recently controversial site "Wikileaks" revealed many classified documents, proving that senior NASA and U.S. figures are informed about the journey of the three extraterrestrial ships. They are even making plans to battle the spaceships. They have been concealing information from the U.S. public for decades. According to "Wikileaks" there is sufficient evidence that the UFO invasion has begun - something that SETI has predicted.

The three spaceships will mark the official beginning of the alien invasion.


A Chinese official had obtained over than 1,000 secret NASA photographs depicting not only human footprints, but even a human carcass on the surface of the Moon. Some of the bones in the carcass were missing, the official said. The human corpse must have been dropped on the Moon from an alien spaceship, whereas the extraterrestrials kept some tissue samples for research.


Dr. Ken Johnson said that U.S. astronauts had found and photographed ancient ruins by an unnatural artificial origin, on the Moon.
US astronauts had seen large unknown mechanisms on the Moon.


Beginning in August of 2011 the U.N. will begin preparing citizens of the world for the attack of the three spaceships – which are believed to come from Planet Zeeba.




Earth and Moon - part of the Solar System

These news really sound like a screenplay for some fantastic sci-fi movie. But the scientist are very serious, they say their statements are true.

Alies - a dream for some, a fear for another, a fiction for others.


Looks like in just a mounth we all will see if there are aliens. 
If they are having good or bad intentions.
So... we will wait, until November comes.

NASA Releases Historical Sound Bites as Ringtones


NASA Logo


NASA has released a collection of famous sounds and commentaries that can be used as ringtones or as computer notification noises.



NASA has been going through its audio archives and come up with a selection of what it’s calling “historic and interesting sounds” that can be used as ringtones or computer notification noises.


Imagine that, every time your phone rings, you could have Neil Armstrong piping up with the immortal line: “One small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind.”


“NASA has been making historic sounds for over 50 years” NASA App project manager Jerry Colen said in a press release. “Now we’re making some of these memorable sounds easy to find and use.”


The sounds have been arranged into four categories: Shuttle and Station, Apollo and Mercury, Current Missions, Beeps and Bytes. In total, 36 clips are available for download.


Lines you might recognize include “The Eagle has landed” and “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” There’s also a clip from JFK’s historic moon speech.


The sounds have been made available in MP3 and M4R formats.


You can check out the sounds here.

Particles Travel Faster Than Light

Physicists reported that sub-atomic particles called neutrinos can travel faster than light, a finding that - if verified - would blast a hole in Einstein's theory of relativity.


Physicists have found that tiny particles called neutrinos are making a 454-mile (730-kilometer) underground trip faster than they should — more quickly, in fact, than light could do. If the results are confirmed, they could throw much of modern physics into upheaval.


In experiments conducted between the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland and a laboratory in Italy, the tiny particles were clocked at 300,006 kilometres per second, about six km/sec faster that the speed of light, the researchers said.


"This result comes as a complete surprise" said physicist Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the experiment, known as OPERA. "We wanted to measure the speed of neutrinos, but we didn't expect to find anything special."


Results from the CERN laboratory in Switzerland seem to break this cardinal rule of physics, calling into question one of the most trusted laws discovered by Albert Einstein.

Scientists spent nearly six months "checking, testing, controlling and rechecking everything" before making an announcement.


Researchers involved in the experiments were cautious in describing its implications, and called on physicists around the world to scrutinise their data, to be made available online overnight.


But the findings, they said, could potentially reshape our understanding of the physical world.


"If this measurement is confirmed, it might change our view of physics" said CERN research director Sergio Bertolucci, a view echoed by several independent physicist contacted by AFP.


In the experiments, scientists blasted a beam producing billions upon billions of neutrinos from CERN, which straddles the French-Swiss border near Geneva, to the Gran Sasso Laboratory 730 kilometres away in Italy.


Neutrinos are electrically neutral particles so small that only recently were they found to have mass.


"The neutrinos arrived 60 nanoseconds earlier that the 2.3 milliseconds taken by light" Ereditato told AFP.


Under Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity, however, a physical object cannot travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.


Newton's theory of gravity, still explains the movement of planets well enough to send missions into space, even if Einstein's theories proved that it was not quitecorrect.


Theoretical physicists are sure to begin searching for new explanations to account for the unsuspected quickness of neutrinos.


It could be that "the particles have found a shortcut in another dimension" besides the four - three in space, plus time - we know about.


"Or it could simply mean that the speed of light is not the speed limit we thought it was."

Is The Planet Gliese 581d Really Habitable?

Yahoo : A rocky alien planet called Gliese 581d may be the first known world beyond Earth capable of supporting life as we know it, a new study suggests.

Astronomers performing a new atmospheric-modeling study have found that the planet likely lies in the "habitable zone" of its host star — that just-right range of distances that allow liquid water to exist. The alien world could be Earth-like in key ways, harboring oceans, clouds and rainfall, according to the research.
This conclusion is consistent with several other recent modeling studies. But it does not definitively establish that life-sustaining water flows across the planet's surface.
The new study assumes that Gliese 581d, which is about seven times as massive as Earth, has a thick, carbon-dioxide-based atmosphere. That's very possible on a planet so large, researchers said, but it's not a given. [Video: Life-Sustaining "Super Earth" Gliese 581d]

The Gliese 581 system: Worlds of possibilities
Gliese 581d's parent star, known as Gliese 581, is a red dwarf located 20 light-years from Earth, just a stone's throw in the cosmic scheme of things. So far, astronomers have detected six planets orbiting the star, and Gliese 581d is not the only one intriguing to scientists thinking about the possibility of life beyond Earth.
Another planet in the system, called Gliese 581g, is about three times as massive as Earth, and it's also most likely a rocky world. This planet received a lot of attention when its discovery was announced in September 2010, because it's located right in the middle of the habitable zone. That makes 581g a prime candidate for liquid water and life as we know it — if the planet exists.
Some researchers question the analysis used to discover the planet, and say they cannot confirm 581g in follow-up studies. The planet's discoverers, however, are standing by their find. [The Strangest Alien Planets]
Gliese 581d orbits outside of 581g, far enough away from its star that researchers first thought it too cold for life when it was originally discovered in 2007. But a strong greenhouse effect may warm 581d up substantially, perhaps enough to support liquid water.
That's the tentative conclusion of the new study, as well as several other recent studies by different research teams that also modeled Gliese 581d's possible atmosphere.

Modeling an alien atmosphere
The planet Gliese 581d receives less than a third of the solar energy that Earth does from our sun, and it may be tidally locked (a situation in which one side of the world always faces its sun — a permanent day — and the other faces away, producing eternal night).
After Gliese 581d's discovery, it was generally believed that any atmosphere thick enough to keep the planet warm would become cold enough on the night side to freeze out entirely, ruining any prospects for a habitable climate, researchers said.
The research team tested that possibility in the new study, developing a new kind of computer model that simulates alien planets' atmospheres and surfaces in three dimensions. The model is similar to those used to study climate change on Earth.
When the team ran the model, they found that Gliese 581d probably can indeed host liquid water if it has a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere. Even though the planet is relatively far away from its dim red dwarf parent star, it could be warmed by a greenhouse effect, with daytime heat circulated around the planet by the atmosphere.
The team, led by scientists from the Laboratoire de Métrologie Dynamique (CNRS/UPMC/ENS/Ecole Polytechnique) at the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace in Paris, France, published their results in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
The work remains speculative.
To determine conclusively if Gliese 581d is truly habitable, future work will probably have to detect and characterize its atmosphere directly. And that is likely years off, since it requires the development of new and advanced telescopes. Human-made probes won't be getting to the planet anytime soon; with current technology, it would take spacecraft hundreds of thousands of years to make the 20-light-year trek.
