ASTRONOMERS CALCULATE AT LEAST 8 BILLION EARTH LIKE PLANETS
ASTRONOMERS CALCULATE AT LEAST 8 BILLION EARTH LIKE PLANETS
.
WASHINGTON — Space is vast, but it may not be so lonely after all: A study finds the Milky Way is teeming with billions of planets that are about the size of Earth, orbit stars just like our sun, and exist in the Goldilocks zone — not too hot and not too cold for life. Astronomers using NASA data have calculated for the first time that in our galaxy alone, there are at least 8.8 billion stars with Earth-size planets in the habitable temperature zone. The study was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. For perspective, that’s more Earth-like planets than there are people on Earth. As for what it says about the odds that there is life somewhere out there, it means “just in our Milky Way galaxy alone, that’s 8.8 billion throws of the biological dice,” said study co-author Geoff Marcy, a longtime planet hunter from the University of California at Berkeley. The next step, scientists say, is to look for atmospheres on these planets with powerful space telescopes that have yet to be launched. That would yield further clues to whether any of these planets do, in fact, harbor life. The findings also raise a blaring question, Marcy said: If we aren’t alone, why is “there a deafening silence in our Milky Way galaxy from advanced civilizations?” In the Milky Way, about 1 in 5 stars that are like our sun in size, color and age have planets that are roughly Earth’s size and are in the habitable zone where life-crucial water can be liquid, according to intricate calculations based on four years of observations from NASA’s now-crippled Kepler telescope.

If people on Earth could only travel in deep space, “you’d probably see a lot of traffic jams,” Bill Borucki, NASA’s chief Kepler scientist, joked Monday. The Kepler telescope peered at 42,000 stars, examining just a tiny slice of our galaxy to see how many planets like Earth are out there. Scientists then extrapolated that figure to the rest of the galaxy, which has hundreds of billions of stars. For the first time, scientists calculated — not estimated — what percent of stars that are just like our sun have planets similar to Earth: 22 percent, with a margin of error of plus or minus 8 percentage points. Kepler scientist Natalie Batalha said there is still more data to pore over before this can be considered a final figure. There are about 200 billion stars in our galaxy, with 40 billion of them like our sun, Marcy said. One of his co-authors put the number of sun-like stars closer to 50 billion, meaning there would be at least 11 billion planets like ours. Based on the 1-in-5 estimate, the closest Earth-size planet that is in the habitable temperature zone and circles a sun-like star is probably within 70 trillion miles of Earth, Marcy said. And the 8.8 billion Earth-size planets figure is only a start. That’s because scientists were looking only at sun-like stars, which are not the most common stars. An earlier study found that 15 percent of the more common red dwarf stars have Earth-size planets that are close-in enough to be in the not-too-hot, not-too-cold Goldilocks Zone. Put those together and that’s probably 40 billion right-size, right-place planets, Marcy said. And that’s just our galaxy. There are billions of other galaxies. Scientists at a Kepler science conference Monday said they have found 833 new candidate planets with the space telescope, bringing the total of planets they’ve spotted to 3,538, but most aren’t candidates for life. Kepler has identified only 10 planets that are about Earth’s size circling sun-like stars and are in the habitable zone, including one called Kepler 69-c. Because there are probably hundreds of planets missed for every one found, the study did intricate extrapolations to come up with the 22 percent figure — a calculation that outside scientists say is fair. “Everything they’ve done looks legitimate,” said MIT astronomer Sara Seager.

KENS NOTE: I have been saying this for many years in radio interviews. I say there are a countless amount of earth like planets in our universe. Of course some are trillions of light years away but they exist. Our planet earth has been here for billions of years and many advanced civilizations have come and gone over the millions of years. The question is , when will it be our turn to disappear. Simple as that……

400 YEAR OLD ALIEN CRAFT PAINTING IN TRANSYLVANIA
400 YEAR OLD ALIEN CRAFT PAINTING DISCOVERED IN TRANSYLVANIA
.
Tourists visiting the church in Medieval Citadel in Sighisoara, Transylvania have been left puzzled by the strange object in the roughly 400-year-old work of art. Does this Romanian church’s medieval wall painting depict a UFO-style flying saucer? Tourists visiting the church in Medieval Citadel in Sighisoara, Transylvania have been left puzzled by the strange object in the roughly 400-year-old work of art. The painting, which adorns the wall of the 13th century monetary, first appeared in the 17th century after the place of worship burnt down. However, Nicolae Tescula, manager of the history museum Sighisoara, thinks the bizarre unidentified object could just be the artist’s representation of heaven. Casting doubt on the theory it could show the first signs of alien life on earth, Tescula said: “The church is Evangelical and the image has a secondary role or is less representative. “Indeed, there is a painting in the sacristy of the church with a religious scene that represents a cloud – perhaps Elijah’s assumption to Heaven – which looks like a dome, but can lead to a more modern representation that might make us think of a UFO.” Tescula added: “Many say it’s a UFO, it looks like a UFO, it is an artist’s vision. “They are like Leonardo da Vinci’s paintings, you can interpret them.” The church, situated in the heart of the Medieval Citadel, has burnt down twice since it was built an estimated 700 years ago. This is the why the interior of the church includes of variety of styles, including its artworks, according to Romania insider.

ALIEN CRAFT PHOTOGRAPHED OVER STATEN ISLAND
COUPLE WITNESSES ALIEN DISC OVER THE GOLD COAST
6.40 PM….A German couple, both in their mid-fifties, sighted a UFO “shaped like a Mexican hat”at Paradise Point, Queensland, about 60 kilometers south of Brisbane last week. Mr. Gerhard S. and Mrs. Waltraud S. saw the UFO from their home in Paradise Point. The object, described as “very bright, white and some orange light underneath” was first seen from their lounge room. They then proceeded to the kitchen window to get a better look. The object, they said, “was a flat disc with a dome in the center and a bright light underneath.” UFO The couple then proceeded outside to view the UFO. “The object was moving very slowly over the sky, coming from the northwest. It disappeared and reappeared several times” and, after what seemed to be several minutes, “winked out behind trees and houses in a southerly direction. The size was a bit smaller than the moon, about a third of a degree arc, but was brighter than the moon. Seemed to be several kilometers away. It looked similar to a Mexican hat, no similarity to aircraft or helicopters, etc.” Total duration of the sighting was about three to four minutes. No sound was heard. We have since located an additional witness to this sighting at Runaway Bay. This person has yet to be interviewed. (UFOICQ). NOTE: The above image is CGI.

JULY 20, 2016 …………. DAYTONA BEACH FLORIDA
.
Witness report: Saturn like object hovering 1 mile away. Bright blinking colored lights. Hovered then turned south and moved away slowly then VERY fast. My wife and I were at a hotel on the beach in Daytona Beach Florida on 7/20/16. The hotel is on SR A1A about 2.0 miles south of US 92. The time was 8:52 PM and it had just turned dark. We were sitting in the lawn area overlooking the ocean when we heard several people in a parking lot next to us to the south speaking loudly and pointing to a blinking object in the sky. The object was about ½ mile south of our position, at about a 30–45 degree angle from our position, hovering over the beach at maybe 500’ (?). From our position it looked small maybe about the size of a penny held at arm’s length. It looked like a sphere with a ring around it, kind of like the planet Saturn. It had a lot of lights on it many different colors. Very bright white/silver, green maybe others, not sure. The white/silver lights were constant and there were others blinking. There was a violet one on the bottom that blinked a lot slower than the others, maybe once every second. The others were faster. The object hovered for about a minute that we observed. It then slowly turned west then south arcing slightly as it did. It then headed south slowly then VERY quickly picked up speed and continued south down the beach until we lost sight of it. My wife noted there was a small plane approaching the object from the north and when the plane got really close, the object turned and quickly sped away. As my wife said “it hauled butt”. I had difficulty getting my phone camera to focus in the dark but managed to snap one picture as soon as I saw it, then started video recording for 30 seconds or so. I turned off video so I could snap another picture. When I turned it off the object had started its turn. I turned the video back on until I lost sight of it. We are not sure what this was. It was definitely not a plane or helicopter. It couldn’t have been a drone as the drone would have to have been a big one, at least 10-15 feet in diameter. No other logical explanation to what we saw.

PHYSICAL HARM AND LOST TIME ALIEN ENCOUNTER IN CHILE
FEBRUARY 25, 1997 ……………… PUERTO ARENAS CHILE
On or about February 25, 1997, teenager Maria Amparo Galvez was walking home from school in her hometown of Puerto Arenas, at the southern tip of Chile, when a glowing UFO suddenly appeared. According to Carlos Munoz, an investigator for Agrupacion de Investigaciones Ovniologicas (AION), Maria ran away and “was hit in the back by many small balls of light flashes that peppered her back.” Maria remembers nothing else of the strange incident except “waking up at another location four hours later.” On February 24, 1997, an odd “ring shaped OVNI”(Spanish acronym for UFO) was seen hovering above Lago (Lake) de Rapel in the Andes. The following day, February 25, 1997, Fuerzas Aereas de Chile’s (Chilean Air Force’s) crack aerobatics team, Los Halcones, was performing at an air show in Pucon when a UFO slipped into the restricted airspace. “The object was ring like,” AION reported, “It looked like a ring of smoke but very bright. It turned on its axis and left the area very slowly (about 60 mph), moving east. The object was filmed by two different witnesses, one of them the air traffic controller at Pucon.” [Many thanks to Joe Trainor’s excellent SAUCER ROUNDUP for this information — Ed.

Colonel William T. Coleman is a retired Air Force bomber pilot, former Public Information Officer for Project Blue Book, and Air Force’s Chief Public Relations Officer during the early 1970s. He was also the Producer of a series called “Project UFO” that ran on NBC for two seasons. (1978-79)
.
In June of 1978, while promoting his new TV show on the Merv Griffin show, Coleman spoke about a UFO sighting he had experienced while a bomber pilot in the fifties. I spoke several times to Colonel Coleman who knew a great deal about UFOs and had chased one over Georgia. Colman states, “We were cruising at 10,000 feet when we spotted a target somewhere around 20,000 to 25,000 feet. It was about seven miles in front of us to our right, and we were overtaking it. It then started descending across our flight path, and I decided to check it out. Therefore, I advanced power and began closing a little faster and descending. We kept getting closer and closer and pretty soon we were within a mile of the object, flying over trees at 345 MPH.” The plane closed to within an eighth of a mile of the disc-shaped object.) “It was about 60 feet in diameter and 10 or 11 feet thick through the center,” he said. “It had what looked like a titanium-type finish (silver gray). I pulled up and made a hard turn that put it out of sight for roughly for four seconds. We whipped back to pull up alongside of it and it wasn’t there. I zoomed up to 1500 feet. `There it is!’ I said. It was about 2 miles in front of us going across a field leaving a red dusty trail behind it. I guessed its speed at about 170 MPH.” After another dive, the crew lost sight of the object. “We never saw it again.” Thanks to Grant Cameron Website Note: I spoke with Colonel Colman who was quite convinced UFOs were real and had written a book that was published in Japan in Japanese and was trying to get it cleared to publish in the United States.
