Scientists from ETH Zurich, in collaboration with partners from the space industry, have demonstrated terabit optical data transmission through the air in a European Horizon 2020 project. This development will allow much more cost-effective and faster backbone connections through near-earth satellite constellations via laser-based network channels.
Apple today announced its groundbreaking safety service Emergency SOS via satellite is now available to customers in the US and Canada. Available on all iPhone 14 models, the innovative technology enables users to message with emergency services while outside of cellular and Wi-Fi coverage.
On August 14, 2018, a high-ranking U.S. State Department official implied that a recent Russian satellite could be a space weapon of some kind. Describing the satellite as “very abnormal”, the official told conference members in Geneva, “We don’t know for certain what it is, and there is no way to verify it.”
Many think the notorious top-secret Area 51 base has gone off the books. New satellite photos from Google Earth show that not only is the base still operating, it’s being expanded. The satellite images are the first new images from Google since 2011.
They are called Fastwalkers (or Fast Walker) and travel at speeds well over 20,000 miles per hour making these UFOs mere “streaks” of light to the unaided human eye. Their name comes from a 1984 NORAD incident which tracked a Fastwalker UFO moving at speeds over 22,000 MPH as it screamed towards earth.
Using space imagery, NASA scientists have discovered hundreds of strange geoglyphs, including a swastika and perfectly-formed cross, etched across a barren savanna in Kazakhstan. Now known as the Steppe Geoglyphs, the mysterious patterns are believed to be at least 8,000 years old which would make them the oldest creations ever found. Thus far, researchers have…
Interesting video from Ben Hansen, host of SyFy channel’s Fact or Faked Paranormal Files television show. The video was shot on November 16, 2013 during a MUFON event in Phoenix at which Hansen was demonstrating his new Generation 3 night vision equipment. Witnesses say the UFOs were not visible to the naked eye nor did…
I loved the movie Gravity! The photography was beautiful and the 3D imagery phenomenal to experience. George Clooney was great (while he lasted) and Sandra bullock a pleasant wonder to watch (as always). Still, I couldn’t help but wonder how accurate the portrayal of the space environment really was. As it turns out, the physics…
The residents of Amherst, Massachusetts are baffled by what several separate witnesses described as a roughly diamond-shaped or triangular UFO spotted travelling over the town on the night of January 8, 2013 between 5:00 and 7:00 PM. Consistent witnesses reports describe a triangular object that was about 30-40 foot long and lit with dim white…
Possibly one of the easiest ways to find secret government projects is to look at how well they are hidden in Google Earth. Government agencies, corporations, or private individuals can request that Google block satellite views of their location from Google Earth users. Some requests to “hide” their location are trivial while others can be…
