A low-cost microscope to study living cells in zero gravity

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, affordable microscope that can image cells in real time during the chaotic conditions of zero-gravity flight—and they’re making the design available to the broader scientific community.

Transmedium UFOs – It’s Time to Let the Public Know the Truth

transmedium UFOs

US Navy warships in restricted waters near San Diego were surrounded by swarms of transmedium UFOs. There, some 100 miles at sea, the crew spotted an assortment of strange vehicles in July 2019. Notably, they were too far at sea to be attributed to known drone technology.

Following the reports, some called these “transmedium UFOs” since they can move through both air and water. 

However, official reports may describe them as drones and UAVs. Nevertheless, behind the scenes, Pentagon investigators may use other terms, according to Mystery Wire.

A video of one of the UFOs became viral after investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell released it on Instagram.  Now, considering all the latest evidence, Corbell says it’s time for the government to come clean.

“We are now at a tipping point,” Corbell told Fox 11, Los Angeles. “It is time to let the public know what is known, no matter how big or small,” said Corbell. “What is known about the UFO presence on planet Earth?”

Corbell said someone leaked the video to him after an Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) briefing on May 1, 2020. 

“UFOs are real. They’re flying with impunity within our restricted air space. They represent an advanced and sophisticated technology,” Corbell said. (see video below) “And, it’s a technology that requires scientific scrutiny and study,” he continued.

Today, after UFO witnesses endured years of ridicule, Corbell says the script has flipped.

“The script has flipped,” said Corbell. “People are now taking this seriously and eliminating the unnecessary ridicule that stigmatized the UFO topic.”

Confirmed Video and Photos 

Amazingly, a Pentagon spokesperson confirmed images seen in the video were recorded by US Navy personnel aboard the USS Omaha, a littoral combat ship. 

Officially, the vehicles remained unidentified and were not referred to officially as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). As you may know, that’s the official government term for UFOs in 2021.

“I can confirm that the referenced photos and videos were taken by Navy personnel,” Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough said in a statement to the Black Vault

However, Gough confirmed that the UAP Task Force “has included these incidents in their ongoing examinations.” As you may recall, the Department of Defense announced the Task Force last year on August 4, 2020.

Furthermore, Gough explained why she does not discuss details publicly.

“As we have said before, to maintain operations security and to avoid disclosing information that may be useful to potential adversaries, DOD does not discuss publicly the details of either the observations or the examinations of reported incursions into our training ranges or designated airspace, including those incursions initially designated as UAP.”

Transmedium UFO Dives Underwater

In the video, you can hear sailors discussing the spherical craft, saying, “It splashed!” when it dove into the sea. Afterward, the Navy sent a submarine to search for the object, finding no trace of the advanced transmedium vehicle.

However, although the crew says the object “splashed,” Corbell clarified the UFO slipped effortlessly into the sea. Thus, there would be no actual splash. 

According to Corbell’s description on YouTube, the Navy took the video at 11 pm PST on July 15, 2019. See the video below:

The Least Compelling Evidence?

Notably, these UFO encounters took place in the same general area of the 2004 Tic Tac UFOs.

And, in Puerto Rico, a similar transmedium UFO was filmed buzzing by the Aguadilla, Puerto Rico airport in April 2013. After it flew by the airport the UFO went straight into the ocean. After entering the water, it seemed to split into two disappearing vehicles. (see video below)

Today, the most recent video shows one type of spherical craft. However, there was a variety of strange vehicles reported. For example, the USS Russell used a night-vision camera to record flying triangle or “pyramid” shaped UFOs flashing in the clouds in July 2019. 

As the Independent reported, sightings in Virginia were daily for years.

“A former Navy pilot says flight crews saw UFOs maneuvering in restricted airspace off Virginia every day for years.”

As strange as these videos are, they are grainy and low resolution, a disappointment as usual. But, NBC’s Gadi Schwartz says he spoke to the former director of the AATIP, Luis Elizondo, to find out if the Pentagon has other videos.

“Those were probably the least compelling videos and in some videos you seen an object about 50 feet away from the cockpit,” said Schwartz. (see video below)

George Knapp on Transmedium UFOs

Journalist George Knapp has covered the latest round of authentic UFO sightings on Mystery Wire and news sites like Fox8.

In an interview, a reporter asked Knapp what he thought the diving UFO could be, and he replied:

“It appears to be a highly intelligently controlled high-tech system. We don’t know what the propulsion is. There’s no rotors, you’ve seen the images, there’s no wings, there’s no blades. That thermal imaging would detect if there were any kind of exhaust. None of that. It’s flying by means that we don’t know,” said Knapp.

Furthermore, if the Chinese or Russian governments have made transmedium UFOs, “it represents an incredible failure on the part of our intelligence establishment.”

On the other hand, Knapp notes that US intelligence doesn’t believe the UFOs were made by either the Chinese or Russian governments.

“That leaves some fairly exotic possibilities but nobody is saying anything beyond – it’s unkown,” said Knapp.

Metallic Blimp, Acorn, and Sphere 

On March 4, 2019, a Navy F/A-18 jet off the coast of Virginia encountered three unidentified “drones.” Interestingly, an F-18 weapons systems officer behind the pilot took pictures with his iPhone. Then, the still images were dubbed the “Metallic Blimp,” “Acorn,” and “Sphere.”

Later, according to Mystery Wire, the UAP Task Force briefed military and intelligence audiences on the “drones.”

“The Task Force reports noted that the objects were able to remain stationary in high winds, with no movement, beyond the capability of known balloons or drones,” reported George Knapp.

Now, we all wonder if the UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin? Currently, we don’t know and probably won’t even after an anticipated government UAP report due this June. However, the former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe has suggested that UFO evidence is much more common than the public has previously known.

Citizen science: Map the Earth’s magnetic shield with the Space Umbrella Project

A stream of charged particles known as the solar wind flows from the sun toward Earth. Here, it meets Earth’s magnetic fields, which shield our planet like a giant umbrella.

For the first time in Brazil, researchers have identified a field of tektites. These are natural glasses formed by the high-energy impact of extraterrestrial bodies against Earth’s surface. These structures, named geraisites in honor of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, where they were first discovered, constitute a new strewn field. This expands the incomplete record of impacts in South America.

Flexible force fields can protect our return to the moon

Lunar dust remains one of the biggest challenges for a long-term human presence on the moon. Its jagged, clingy nature makes it naturally stick to everything from solar panels to the inside of human lungs. And while we have some methods of dealing with it, there is still plenty of experimentation to do here on Earth before we use any such system in the lunar environment. A new paper published in Acta Astronautica from Francesco Pacelli and Alvaro Romero-Calvo of Georgia Tech and their co-authors describes two types of flexible Electrodynamic Dust Shields (EDSs) that could one day be used in such an environment.
