UFO crash site opens to public for first time in 71 years

The crash site, which is about 75 miles away from Roswell, is one of the most sought-after locations in New Mexico.

No doubt you are not aware of the fact that it was J. Allen Hynek, an astronomer hired by the US Government to debunk all UFO sightings, who made the statement about some UFOs being just swamp gas.

However, after investigating hundreds of UFO sightings, Hynek changed his mind and became one of the leading scientists claiming that some UFOs are real and not from this planet.

[edit]
In response to numerous reports of "flying saucers", the United States Air Force established Project Sign in 1948 to examine sightings of unidentified flying objects. Hynek was contacted to act as a scientific consultant to Project Sign. He studied UFO reports and decided whether the phenomena described therein suggested known astronomical objects.
When Project Sign hired Hynek, he was skeptical of UFO reports. Hynek suspected that they were made by unreliable witnesses, or by persons who had misidentified man-made or natural objects. In 1948, Hynek said that "the whole subject seems utterly ridiculous," and described it as a fad that would soon pass.
For the first few years of his UFO studies, Hynek could safely be described as a debunker. He thought that a great many UFOs could be explained as prosaic phenomena misidentified by an observer. In his 1977 book, Hynek admitted that he enjoyed his role as a debunker for the Air Force. He also noted that debunking was what the Air Force expected of him.

Change of opinion

Hynek's opinions about UFOs began a slow and gradual shift. After examining hundreds of UFO reports over the decades (including some made by credible witnesses, including astronomers, pilots, police officers, and military personnel), Hynek concluded that some reports represented genuine empirical evidence.

In 1953, Hynek was an associate member of the Robertson Panel, which concluded that there was nothing anomalous about UFOs, and that a public relations campaign should be undertaken to debunk the subject and reduce public interest. Hynek would later lament that the Robertson Panel had helped make UFOs a disreputable field of study.
When the UFO reports continued at a steady pace, Hynek devoted some time to studying the reports and determined that some were deeply puzzling, even after considerable study. He once said, "As a scientist I must be mindful of the lessons of the past; all too often it has happened that matters of great value to science were overlooked because the new phenomenon did not fit the accepted scientific outlook of the time."
In a 1985 interview, when asked what caused his change of opinion, Hynek responded, "Two things, really. One was the completely negative and unyielding attitude of the Air Force. They wouldn't give UFOs the chance of existing, even if they were flying up and down the street in broad daylight. Everything had to have an explanation. I began to resent that, even though I basically felt the same way, because I still thought they weren't going about it in the right way. You can't assume that everything is black no matter what. Secondly, the caliber of the witnesses began to trouble me. Quite a few instances were reported by military pilots, for example, and I knew them to be fairly well-trained, so this is when I first began to think that, well, maybe there was something to all this."

Despite diligent, time-consuming efforts by institutions across the planet, human beings have yet to find any universally-accepted proof of extraterrestial life. For many, this is a simple function of the math involved -- the universe is just too large for us to plausibly meet creatures from another planet. But according to several fringe researchers, we're just looking in the wrong place. We should focus, they argue, not on life from other planets... but on life from other dimensions. Listen in to learn more about the strange story of the Ultraterrestrial theory.

Spiders use global electrical fields to fly hundreds of miles without wings, according to new research.

The mystery of how wingless arachnids can go airborne for miles and miles has intrigued scientists for decades. Even Charles Darwin mused with delight on the topic when he saw hundreds of tiny spiders alight on the HMS Beagle as the ship was on its way to Buenos Aires.

Many scientists have suggested that spiders might achieve their aerial acrobatics by “ballooning” – spinning trails of silk that are caught on the wind to bear them aloft.

But spiders have been observed taking off when there is no wind at all, when it’s raining and when the sky is overcast. In the absence of wind, researchers have conjecture that perhaps spiders are riding on electrical currents in the atmosphere and a new study led by Bristol University backs this up.

The Atmospheric Potential Gradient (APG) is a global electric circuit that is always present in the atmosphere and insects have already been shown to use it. Bees, for example, can use their charge to communicate with their hive and bumblebees can detect the electric field (e-field) imparted by the APG to flowers.

In their lab, the researchers exposed spiders to controlled e-fields equivalent to atmospheric ones and by the simple experiment of switching them on and off, observed that spiders were using them to fly in the absence of wind.

“Previously, drag forces from wind or thermals were thought responsible for this mode of dispersal, but we show that electric fields, at strengths found in the atmosphere, can trigger ballooning and provide lift in the absence of any air movement. This means that electric fields as well as drag could provide the forces needed for spider ballooning dispersal in nature,” said Morley.

Spiders aren’t the only wingless insects that fly. Both caterpillars and spider-mites use aerial dispersal as a crucial biological process as well, making understanding that process important for understanding population dynamics, species distribution and ecological resilience.

“The next step will involve looking to see whether other animals also detect and use electric fields in ballooning.

Spiders Can Fly Thousands of Miles With Electric Power
For the first time, scientists have empirically verified electricity’s role in the ballooning abilities of spiders.

---

In the last decade, doubts about the wind power explanation for arachnid flight have mounted alongside observations of spiders ballooning when winds are not strong enough to lift them even a few feet, let alone for thousands of miles. The animals can also reach high altitudes—sometimes five kilometers (three miles) above Earth’s surface—which would be difficult to accomplish with thermal air currents alone.

Morley and her team placed Linyphiid spiders in a lab-controlled electric field with charges similar to Earth’s atmosphere, so the group could directly observe the impact of electricity on arachnid flight. The spiders ascended into the air when electric fields were present, and descended when the team turned them off, demonstrating a clear correlation between electrostatic forces and ballooning ability.
