Jay Weidner and Stanton Friedman clash over Apollo moon landings, with Weidner alleging Kubrick faked footage using front-screen projection, citing erased tapes, inconsistent production values, and astronauts like Buzz Aldrin’s reported distress. Friedman disputes the film fakery but acknowledges NASA’s destruction of original videotapes and Philip Corso’s unverified Roswell claims, though Eisenhower Library records debunk his involvement. Both agree on potential cover-ups—Weidner links missing Saturn V blueprints to suppressed "electrogravitic" tech, while Friedman speculates about lost knowledge from ancient civilizations or crash saucers. Callers like Ken (a retired aerospace engineer) propose Earth’s "vowel vortices" of aluminum isotopes, possibly placed by a secretive advanced civilization, hinting at deeper, unacknowledged technological control. Ultimately, the episode underscores systemic secrecy, whether in lunar history, military tech, or global infrastructure, leaving public trust in institutions perpetually questioned.

From the high desert in the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening, good morning, good afternoon, wherever you are in the world.
Every square inch of it covered by this program.
Midnight in the desert.
I'm Mark Bell, and it is a strange-looking night in the desert tonight.
All right, for the program, there are only two rules.
And I think I'll do it backwards.
One caller per show, and no bad language.
Many of you.
That's it.
Our rules are simple.
No bad language.
Don't need it.
Only one call per show.
I want to thank everybody as usual.
Tell us.
The incredible sound we've got.
Thank you, Joe Talbot.
Tell us.
I'm telling you guys, if you haven't tried earbuds yet, I keep getting these messages from people who say, you know, I finally took your advice.
I haven't tried earbuds.
And oh my God.
It's that good, really, honestly.
He's Roland, my webmaster forever.
My new producer, Heather Wade.
All of you who listen to the Bell Gab website.
People who love Art Bell.
Midnight in Desert.
These are all sites that sort of chat about the show to one degree or with some language or another.
The Stream Guys who get it to you.
LV.net, who gets it to StreamGuys.
I can't think of a better way to put it.
And, of course, our sales guy, Peter Everhart.
All right, a couple of items, and then off to our show tonight, which should be something with the Honorable Jay Wadner.
And of course, our sales guy, Peter Everhart.
All right, a couple of items, and then off to our show tonight, which should be something with the Honorable Jay Wadner and Dr. Friedman.
We're going to be talking about the moon.
Jay believes that all the photography taken of, you know, what we easily said, the greatest accomplishment of mankind to date, walking on the moon, right?
He thinks all of it was photographed.
And it's all false.
And so we'll talk about that and other things, but that for sure.
A toxic, this should be at the head of the news.
It's at the end of the news.
A toxic algae bloom in warm water from California to Alaska.
That's a big blob, folks.
A vast bloom of very toxic algae off the West Coast is denser, more widespread and deeper than scientists feared even, folks.
A vast bloom of very toxic algae off the West Coast is denser, more widespread and deeper than scientists feared even weeks ago.
According to surveyors aboard a National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration research vessel, this coastal ribbon of microscopic algae up to 40 miles wide, and get this, 650 feet deep in coastal areas, is flourishing amid unusually warm Pacific Ocean temperatures.
Now stretches from California to Alaska.
It shut down lucrative fisheries.
No more shellfishing.
This is serious stuff, and it's part of our changing planet.
While the debate field is set for Thursday, Trump and Bush are in, Centorium and Pirina out.
Donald Trump has scored the top spot for Thursday night's leadoff debate of the 2016 presidential race, joined by former Florida Governor Jeff Bush, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and seven other Republican contenders.
And for those of you who think that I played Coming to America and actually was dedicating it in some loving way last night, well, you're all wet.
That was tongue-in-cheek, folks, all the way.
Only one more item, and then off to our guests.
And this one, you better pay attention to.
I want you to go to artbill.com.
I know you're going to think, I'm kidding, I'm not.
The fabled Bishopville, South Carolina swamp creature known as, sorry, Lizard Man appears to have surfaced once again Sunday afternoon.
We've got pictures.
Sarah, a Sumter woman, who says she went to church with a friend Sunday morning, stepped out of the sanctuary to see Lizard Afternoon.
We've got pictures.
Sarah, a Sumpter woman, who says she went to church with a friend Sunday morning, stepped out of the sanctuary to see Lizard Man running along the tree line.
So she did what anybody else would do if you weren't in shock, took a picture with her phone.
She claims, quote, my hand to God, I'm not making this up, end quote, wrote in an email to the ABC News 4 Newsroom, very excited.
Says they were about a mile or so from Scrape, Oregon, Washington Swamp, Scrape, Oregon, Washington, yeah, not Washington, Scrape, Oregon Swamp, the site or ore swamp, the site of a similar spotting of what also may have been a lizard man back in May.
A man who asked not to be identified submitted a short video, get this, of what he thought was the lizard man on Monday morning.
Said he took the video in May while coon hunting, but kept its existence quiet until he saw reports of lizard man outside of a church.
He said, I saw your lizard man story.
That gave me the courage to send you the video.
It's quiet until he saw reports of lizard man outside of a church.
He said, I saw your lizard man story.
That gave me the courage to send you the video.
The man wrote, though my wife believes me that it's real, she said she'd be embarrassed that everybody's going to think I'm a loon.
So I kept it secret.
The man said he took the video in Skate or Swamp just off Camden Highway in Bishopville, wherever that is.
In the 20-minute video, 20-second video, the photographer ducks behind a tree and you can see a dark figure with what appears to be a long tail walking about 30 or 40 yards away.
The video stops as the figure appears to turn toward the camera.
And I might add that the cameraman does what I would have done.
He gets behind the tree and then ducks down, still trying to get what he can.
And then there's a still photograph, which is quite good, of the lizard guy.
Now, maybe it's his guy in a suit, but we were talking about this last night.
And it seems to me the last thing you would want to do is put on a giant lizard suit and go walking around the woods.
You know, where there are hunters, right?
You just wouldn't do that.
You're going to get shot.
That's what's going to happen.
So this may be the real thing.
Make sure you see the still photograph because it is quite graphic.
Okay, so once again, just so that you listen to the words and know that I wasn't actually dedicating this to Donald Trump.
It was tongue-in-cheek.
It was actually about everybody coming to America.
If you listen to the words, it's rather plain, actually.
I say, nevertheless, Thursday's debate is going to be worth the watch.
Worth the price, if you listen to the words, it's rather plain, actually.
I say, nevertheless, Thursday's debate is going to be worth the watch.
Worth the price of admission.
I have no idea what's going to happen.
Anyway, listen a little bit, if you would, to the words, and understand that I was trying to imply that the Donald or no Donald, baby, were America and they're coming.
Stanton Friedman, Dr. Friedman, received his BSc and MSc degrees in physics from the University of Chicago in 1955 and 6.
He was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist by GE, GM, Westinghouse, TRW Systems, Aerojet, General Nucleonics, wow, and McDonnell Douglas working in highly advanced,
classified, eventually canceled programs like nuclear aircraft fission and fusion rockets and various compact nuclear power plants for space and terrestrial applications.
Now he is joined by Jay Widner.
Widener is a writer.
He's a filmmaker, called by Wired magazine an authority on the Hermetic and alchemic traditions.
Widener has authored two books and produced over 25 documentaries.
He is currently producing and programming for Guillaume TV.
I think that's the way it's said, Guillaume TV.
He just received his second feature film, or just released it rather, The Last Avatar, a cool name, on Vimeo for a bunch of glowing reviews.
He's done very well.
So let's bring them both on together and say, I guess, first, Stanton, welcome to the program.
Yeah, my premise is that the space program is much further advanced than they were letting us in on.
And that Kennedy knew that Kennedy was shown in 1961 some of the very advanced technologies that they'd gotten from the Germans.
And we know this from an FBI document where Marilyn Monroe told Dorothy Kilgallen that she had seen the alien stuff.
And I believe that John made his speech about going to the moon, John F. Kennedy, it was in order to force, he knew that standard rocket technology would not do the job, at least not in the time period that he put forth.
And so he knew that they had very advanced technologies.
And I believe he made that speech right after he saw the technology in order to force that technology out into the open.
But they had other plans.
And so what they did was, and this is a newly released document just the last couple months, in 1965, in June 1965, the U.S. Information Agency began looking at film directors, the top six film directors in the world for some reason.
And one of them was Stanley Kubrick.
And he was not a big director in June of 1965.
He'd just done Doctor Strange Lab, which did all right, but he'd never really had a breakout film, not until 2001 Space Odyssey.
So I believe, and also I'll say this, of all the filmmakers in his time period, the only one that actually understood the technical aspects of filmmaking was Stanley Kubrick.
He knew how to shoot, he knew how to edit, he knew how to light, he knew how to do everything.
Whereas somebody like Billy Wilder was more of a theater director and didn't really understand the technical mechanics involved in making films.
He had other people that did that.
Only Kubrick in his time was the consummate filmmaker and understood all aspects of filmmaking.
And he would be the guy that you would choose if you were going to fake this.
Now, why would you fake it?
And the answer is, well, one, national security reasons.
You don't want the Soviet Union to see what you got.
Two, what if something goes wrong?
Do you really want the whole world watching two astronauts dying on the surface of the moon?
All they would have had to do was clip a rock, and that thing would have tumbled and broke, and it could never have been repaired.
And also, they didn't want people to see some of the artifacts that are all over the moon.
And so they hired Stanley Kubrick.
He used 2001 Space Odyssey as a cover and also as a research and development in how to do the faking.
They hired Stanley Kubrick.
He used 2001 Space Odyssey as a cover and also as a research and development in how to do the faking.
Well, I mean, just a few years before the Saturn V was finished, Werner von Braun told CBS, I believe it was, that the rocket would have to be the size of the Empire State Building.
It was a real rocket, and it really went off and everything, but the Saturn V that we saw lifting men ultimately to the moon, that was fake.
It was a real rocket, and it really went off and everything, but Well, I don't know where they went.
I'm not going to speculate on where they went.
All I can speculate on, all I can do is not speculate and tell you that, you know, about the filming techniques and also Stan Lee's confession in The Shining.
The entire thing.
unidentified
All right, I don't know about that, but let's get it.
It was all done in a studio using a technique called front screen projection, which is a hardly anybody today understands what front screen projection is.
Fortunately, I worked with it 30 years ago when I worked in Hollywood, and I know very well the fingerprints that front screen projection leaves behind, and every single Apollo image has the telltale fingerprints of front-screen projection.
The kids don't understand when I tell them, hey, I wasn't allowed to touch a computer when I was working in industry.
What do you mean?
Well, you filled out an input data sheet.
Somebody key punched cards.
And a girl went with a big reel of tape and the deck of cards up to the computer facility that you weren't allowed anywhere near, which used a tremendous amount of air conditioning equipment because it was vacuum tubes and stuff like that.
And the next day or two, you got back output.
But you didn't touch the computer.
Come on, that's specialists.
So what I'm saying is that whole world has changed enormously.
Call it Moore's Law or whatever you want to call it.
But the capability of straight photography, if you will, funny way to put it, has changed drastically.
And remember, the last Apollo flight was, what, 1972.
Can you imagine how much things have changed since then?
If you look at every art, if you go to any Apollo site where they have all the photographs, go to the photographs and begin looking, and you will see a telltale break in the horizon behind the astronauts.
It's in every shot.
The grain on the ground changes.
It's a direct straight line right behind it.
And you can see the granularity of the surface of the ground changes in every shot.
That is a fingerprint, telltale fingerprint of the use of front-screen projection.
He perfected it in the eight scenes in 2001 of Space Odyssey, which were all shot in a studio.
Everybody in Hollywood agrees that nobody could do front-screen projection like Stanley Kubrick.
The way that front screen projection works is you have a stage and then you have a screen that's behind the actors or the astronauts, and then you project an image that is front screen, not rear screen.
Your rear screen is what they used to use in movies when they were driving the car and you'd see the streets going by in the window.
It always looked a little fake and a little off.
And Kubrick hated it.
He just hated rear screen projection, and he perfected front screen projection because you don't get that loss of about a half an F-stop in the background.
Everything stays the same luminescence.
And so he perfected it.
And the saying is, is that every single scene in 2001 that uses front screen projection has this telltale line between the stage and the screen.
And every single Apollo photograph also has the telltale line between the stage and the screen.
If you take the astronauts bouncing around on the moon and you just put them in a video editing thing and you speed them up by about 40%, they're walking around regular.
They're obviously being shot in slow motion.
Now, here's the thing.
Kubrick could not fake, in 2001, he could not figure out how to fake slow motion very well, so he shot all the slow motion scenes in slow motion all the low gravity scenes in slow motion because he couldn't really figure out what zero-G would look like.
One, we didn't want the Soviets to see anything that we have or had.
Two, if something went wrong, and we had two astronauts dying in front of the entire world on the moon from exposure, that would be very, very, very bad.
Nixon was president.
He would never allow that to happen.
And, you know, they just didn't, they were putting all of the money, I believe they were putting all of those billions of dollars, 30, 40 billion dollars, into secret space program black op projects.
Everybody that was working at NASA was really working.
They were really building things that were being used.
Everything was real, but they decided that they would just show the fake, and that way they wouldn't have to show the real equipment that they really had.
And this is not rash speculation.
I mean, we have not gone anywhere, hardly at all.
You know, in all these years, we're still driving around in automobiles that use a combustion engine from 100 years ago.
There is a glass ceiling.
Ben Rich of Skunk Works right before he died, he told everybody at this meeting that they were 50 to 70 years ahead of conventional technologies.
In the densely populated areas of New York City, one would never expect to find a tranquil, albeit creepy, sanctuary with a population of zero.
Once populated, complete with a hospital, tennis courts, utilities, every modern comfort, this area is now completely abandoned.
How could there be anything, especially an island, that is completely abandoned in New York City?
The island is called North Brother Island.
It is located between Queens and the Bronx.
One Reddit user came across the island in 2012 while kayaking with a friend from Connecticut to New York.
The pictures he took of the abandoned island near New York City are absolutely amazing.
The island was developed in 1885.
It was originally used to build a hospital to quarantine and treat people suffering from smallpox and typhoid fever.
In the 1950s, it was turned into a rehabilitation center for patients who were addicted to drugs such as heroin.
The entire island has been abandoned since 1963.
After the city closed down the hospitals, they tried to sell the island to private investors in the 70s, but the cost of construction, transportation to the island, installing a sewage system, and the noise from LaGuardia Airport discouraged anyone from buying it.
In the 80s, they tried to build a prison on the island, but scrapped the plan because it was cheaper to build in upstate New York.
Would you be willing to wander this abandoned island?
You can do it safely by viewing the many images at darkmatternews.com.
The head of Iran's Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization believes that in addition to economic sanctions, the West is launching another kind of soft war on the Islamic Republic.
Speaking at a ceremony to introduce the nation's new meteorological department chief, Hassan Mousavi, he said that he was suspicious about the drought in the southern part of the country.
He went on to accuse the West of using technology to influence the nation's climate, saying sandstorms, droughts, and other extreme weather were the result of an unspecified method of war.
Last year, Iranian President Mohammad Ahmad Janadad accused Western countries of devising plans to cause drought in Iran.
And Hassan Masavi said, European countries are using special equipment to force clouts to dump water on their own continents.
Last night on Dark Matter News, we reported the sad news of the savage murder of the traveling robot known as Hitchbot.
Hitchbot was traveling in Philadelphia after safely touring Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Today, footage of what is claimed to be the final moments of the traveling robot Hitchbot has been released.
But there are suspicions of a cruel prank.
Popular local vlogger Jesse Wellens, who was among the last people to see Hitchbot alive on Saturday, together with another vlogger, Ed Vassmaster, Claimed Monday that he had acquired footage of the attack.
Hitchbot, which was designed as a social experiment project to see if humans can empathize with a helpless, child-sized machine that needed their help to get around, was found decapitated last Saturday after a brutal attack in Philadelphia.
The video uploaded to Snapchat shows a man in a backwards hat in a Philadelphia Eagles jersey, identifying him as number 12, Randall Cunningham, a quarterback for the NFL team in the 1980s and early 90s.
The video shows someone having ripped off the robot's arm and stomping on something obstructed from the view twice.
No motive for the attack was apparent from the footage.
There is speculation that the video may have been made by Wellens himself as a prank.
Bassmaster, who was with Wellens during the encounter, often wears an oversized number 12 Philadelphia Eagles jersey while acting as an alter ego character.
Hitchbot was created by Canadian researchers Professor Frank Zeller from Ryerson University.
It relied on its goofy appearance and limited means of communications powered by a special computer program to steal rides from humans.
He sold plenty of hearts too along the way.
Check out DarkMatterNews.com for a look at the videos in question and decide for yourself, fake or prank.
Three guys died, and Chrissim and White, and I forget the name of the third one.
Should do better, but it's late at night here.
I think that we're leaving.
I do have a question that maybe Jay can answer that's relevant here.
The footage that you see on all these websites, supposedly from the Apollo missions, is that from film brought back by the astronauts, or was it radio transmission of images?
Let me point out something that's very important here that I haven't ever really said in public before.
If you take a long-term film production, like say Lord of the Rings, you'll notice, if you're an astute film watcher, you'll notice that the production values get better with each film.
By the time the third film goes out, everybody who's been working together for like three or four years is all humming together, the well-oiled machine, and the production values are by the third film skyrocketed, actually, over the first film.
In every way.
You can see the same exact thing in the Apollo footage.
First, you have Apollo 11, which is they're just shot against a black background.
There's no mountains, there's nothing.
Then Apollo 12, they conveniently point the camera at the sun in the first few seconds that they land on the moon, destroying the camera so we have no footage.
Apollo 13, again, it goes awry and we have no footage from that because they never landed.
Apollo 14, now the production values have drastically improved in the two years between 11 and 14.
15, again, a huge leap in production values.
16 again, and 17 is just spectacular.
I mean, the production values in 17 are just amazing.
Each mission, the mountains are getting more complicated.
Everything is getting more complicated because the crew is learning how to do things.
They're learning how to work together, how to make the thing work and function better as far as the market.
But you're also saying, I think you're saying, aren't you, that all of the astronauts who are supposedly on the moon cavorting for the cameras are lying.
I will bring up two points which are very important in response to that.
First off, Buzz Aldrin wrote a book when he got back called Return from the Moon.
And in that book, he reports, and you can read the book, you can get it on Amazon, he says that on the one-year anniversary on July 20th, 1970, he was in Vegas at a big celebration for the one-year anniversary, and he stood up in front of a crowd for really the first time.
And a reporter said to him, hey, Buzz, tell us what it was like, what it was really like to be on the moon.
And I'll paraphrase what Buzz says.
He says, my stomach began to become nauseated.
I got a gigantic headache.
I could not speak.
I started shaking uncontrollably.
My wife had to take me into the alley where I shook for a half hour.
I simply could not answer the question.
Now, I will redirect you all to a Stanley Kubrick film called A Clockwork Orange, in which people were put in front of movies, given drugs, and every time that they would have a thought about something, they would get sick.
Okay, that's the plot of Stanley Kubrick's movie after 2001.
Second point, one of my friends, my good friends, was Dr. Robert Masters.
He's a hypnotherapist.
He's now deceased.
He's a very famous hypnotherapist in his time.
Edgar Mitchell came to Bob Masters.
Bob Masters told me this.
Edgar Mitchell came to him after he landed and came back from the moon and said, Bob, you have to hypnotize me.
I cannot remember anything about the moon.
And Bob Masters put him into regression, hypnotherapy, and he never, ever remembered anything.
And I asked him to please, if he could close his eyes and think about what it felt like to be on the moon with any words that he could put together to get us to understand that.
But again, front-screen projection is not a very, it was a very esoteric art.
Maybe five people in the 1960s even knew how to do it.
And they were all working on 2001 A Space Odyssey.
In other words, Kubrick had all of the front screen projection experts in the world working with him during.
And let's point out some other things.
2001 A Space Odyssey begins production in 1964 and ends in 1968.
Apollo begins in 1964, culminates in the landing in 1969.
Fred Ordway is running the Apollo program, but somehow can find time to fly to London and be Stanley Kubrick's top scientific advisor on 2001 A Space Odyssey.
At the end of 2001 a Space Odyssey, in its original projection, which has now been removed, we're credit after credit thanking McDonnell Douglas and all of these high-tech aircraft companies.
I have the whole credits and I saved them and I have them.
And they've been since removed.
And you look at the internecine thing going on between the film 2001 Space Odyssey and NASA, and it becomes fantastic.
I mean, never in the history of filmmaking has anybody cooperated like this.
And I'll end it with this.
The head of MGM is quoted as saying, and kid you not, in 1968, at the beginning of 1968, he is quoted as saying, I have no idea what the budget for 2001 of Space Odyssey is, and I don't care.
Does that sound like the head of a studio would say that?
There is stuff on the moon that was left by astronauts, seismographs, there were rocks that were brought back which are certainly moon rocks and not earth rocks.
And one of the things I did in the three months that they were kind enough to keep me there was a survey on government documents, a collection of information, a bibliography, if you will, using one key word, magneto aerodynamics.
And much to my amazement, I got 900 references and about 90% of them were classified.
Collection of information of bibliography, if you will, using one key word, magneto aerodynamics.
And much to my amazement, I got 900 references and about 90% of them were classified.
That's what I was because it creates an ionized air plasma.
Meteors do it all the time.
And so there was even a study showing if you went to Mars when you came back, if you used magneto-aerodynamic control instead of retro rockets, you'd save weight.
There's a difference between an artist concept and a real photograph.
And in some ways, I guess that's what we're talking about, although I hadn't thought of it that way.
And all kinds of proposals have been made for big money.
And that's what they're looking at is artist concept, which is not the same as a photograph.
And I feel that way about a lot of the so-called Nazi technology.
They were looking at it.
They were thinking about it.
That doesn't mean they built it or were able to.
There's a little thing called money in between in time.
Maybe I should mention here that when I worked a long time ago at General Electric Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion Department in Cincinnati, in 1958, we spent $100 million.
And that was a budget that year.
And that was a lot of money in 1958.
We employed 3,500 people, of whom 1,100 were engineers and scientists.
Now, we're not talking six professors and 20 grad students.
So there are a lot of, I'll call them huge programs that have gone on.
The stealth aircraft, we spent $10 billion over 10 years in secret, mind you.
The ANP program, the data was secret, but the existence of the program wasn't.
So there have been some huge programs out there.
And as I say, there's a difference between what you're talking about doing.
I can show you beautiful pictures of an aircraft nuclear propulsion system, but it's not real.
Okay, the point was made that Ben Rich said something, and I've heard different versions of what he supposedly said, how many years ahead we are, and also that he said we could send E.T. home.
And again, I would make the distinction between what I think we can do if we continue on this path and what we are able to do tomorrow.
And having worked for major corporations, I know that we like to talk about, you know, just give us the dough and away we will go, if you'll pardon terrible poetry.
And I think we don't pay enough attention to that distinction.
Did Ben mean that if we decided to open the money faucet that we could do this, that, or the other thing?
Or did he mean that if you want a ticket, you can buy one tomorrow?
And all kinds of projects that start and don't finish.
Pravdo was constantly saying that the moon landings were faked.
Just nobody here was picking it up.
I have the issues.
Also, what people don't realize is that the Russians actually landed on the moon first, not us.
Luna 4, I think it was.
And it left behind reflectors for lasers and a bunch of equipment.
And it wasn't manned, but it was there first, proving, of course, that you can go and land stuff without ever putting a human on the moon and get stuff and have it work.
But, you know, the Russians were, you know, in some ways kind of, I don't know, they were impressed by what we were doing, but they didn't quite know how we were faking it.
unidentified
In fact, it was secretly completely hidden in time.
Even the idea that you can take 70 millimeter ectachrome film through the Van Ellen belts and be on the moon when you can't even take it through an airport detector without it getting fogged, the whole idea is just kind of absurd.
Well, no, because radiation shielding was what I worked on for a number of years.
And the role of the Van Allen belts here gets to be a sticky one.
You know, it depends on how long you're in and what you're inside of and all the rest of that.
It's complicated.
It's like some people, not tonight, but some people have made it sound to me as if they thought, gee, if you get exposed to radiation, you're going to die.
You're going to get cancer right away and all this kind of stuff.
And people have a deathly fear of radiation.
You can see that, incidentally, on the recent flyby past Pluto, I watched a lot of coverage, read a lot, didn't see anybody talking about the fact that the energy source was a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, a little small nuclear device using plutonium, no less.
And it'll run for another 20 years.
It's already run for 10 years.
And that's a remarkable accomplishment.
Think about that.
And I heard nobody saying, hey, the energy for this whole Pluto business is coming from a radioisotope thermoelectric generator.
And we've used dozens of them in our deep space mission.
For people who are wondering, why can't you use solar energy?
Well, because the further away you get from the sun, the lower the energy intensity is.
And, you know, Pluto is a heck of a lot further than the Earth is from the Sun.
I totally agree with you, Stanton, that people overestimate the effects of radiation.
I totally think you're right on that.
Their fear drives them.
And I don't think that going through the belt Is going to kill you.
I don't mean that.
What I'm saying is that sitting on the surface of the moon with your camera, with ectochrome film rolled into your camera, and it's 250 degrees in the sun, above zero, and 250 degrees below zero in the shade, how in the heck is that film going to maintain its stability?
I mean, you can't put film into an oven at 200 degrees, and it's just going to melt.
And the whole idea is just, I don't know, as a photographer's.
I mean, I've met several astronauts, and I do have difficulty with saying that basically, remember, because part of your story now is that they had to be going through hoops here on Earth that is sound stage, right?
I say they're nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and they operate without refueling.
This makes an enormous difference on your tactics on the ocean if you don't need to worry about how much fuel you're using.
That's an enormous impact.
So that's part of what I meant about maybe it's technology that we are thinking about versus what we already have.
In this case, many people are shocked.
It's like people don't even appreciate the fact that nuclear-powered submarines, you know, we heard an awful lot about German U-boats during the war, what a threat they were to the convoys in the oceans and so forth and so on.
But they could stay underwater for maybe a day because you need air for the diesel engines.
Taking care of the people is easy.
Air for the engines is not.
Now we have submarines that can go around the world underwater.
And when they go past a beautiful island, they take periscope leave is one kind of put it to me.
Which is a clever remark, but it's true that that's an enormous advance over the past.
What we're talking about here, Jay said we have jumped, even back then, we have jumped ahead to some sort of electromagnetic drive, some sort of something that would get us from here to the moon, and we have it back then.
Again, let me give you an example of something I think we did learn from Roswell.
I'm the original civilian investigator of the Roswell incident.
And my view about what you would do when you got all the pieces of wreckage, you'd send them out to your best classified labs, and you'd say, what is this stuff?
This fine foil-like material, very strong, very lightweight, etc.
And the guy comes back and said, it's a combination of samarium and cobalt.
Why would you put those two things together?
Not your problem.
You send it out to somebody else, what are the electromagnetic, thermal, nuclear properties of this stuff?
And the guy comes, you don't tell him where you got it.
He doesn't have a need to know for that.
Maybe he thinks it came from a spy.
And he comes back and says, the highest magnetic Molema I've ever mentioned measured what a wonderful permanent magnet material this would be.
And pretty soon you're building ghetto blasters with samarium cobalt magnets in the speakers.
That's real, incidentally.
And I was, for a while, several years, did a weekly science commentary for CBC Radio here in Fredericton.
And I did one, I read a lot.
It was fun.
And I did one on new and better permanent magnet materials, neodymium, boron, and iron.
I'm not making these up.
They're real.
At the end of the article, it said the original work on samarium cobalt was done at Wright Air Development Center, Wright-Petterson Air Force Base.
And I just laughed my head off.
In other words, I think that the basic idea came from somebody saying, hey, what is this stuff?
A second, In my book, there's a picture of me with my hand on the Apollo 12 command module.
I spoke to the NASA people there in Southern California, and they took me on a tour and took my picture with the command module and stuff.
Strangely enough, they didn't want the North American Rockwell people to come to the presentation, only the NASA people.
Don't ask me to explain that because I don't have an explanation for it.
And the point was that they were very interested on the one hand.
And on the other hand, who knew what the real stuff going on was and that I didn't?
We're agreeing in more agreement than disagreement.
Do you both believe it is possible, this is a straight-out question, that from the crash at Roswell, we built something that could take us to the moon and back real quick?
I believe that in combination with what else we had, yes.
Not that alone, though, but in combination with the other technologies that we had discovered and also developed.
Don't forget, Hitler was not just financing these guys to create exotic technologies.
He was also sending expeditions into Tibet, into Northern Africa, into Peru, looking for ancient advanced technologies.
He admitted it.
And these expeditions were run by the SS, the occult division of the SS.
So he was making a major plan to try to recover as much of the past as possible and apply it.
And when you take that and then you add the Roswell stuff, 1947, hey, by 1955, you could be really far advanced, especially with the backing of the United States, which was the richest country on earth.
Well, one of the problems here is that if you gave the smartest people on the planet a cheap digital wristwatch, say $25 wristwatch, back in the 30s, he would know it was a watch and he'd know there's a battery there, but he had no way to examine the chip or certainly no way to duplicate it.
And so, you know, it's like, Christopher Columbus, I need a nuclear-powered submarine, and I've got unlimited money.
Can you build one for me?
And the answer would have been no.
There's too big a gap between where we are and where we would have to be.
And that's the point I was trying to make earlier about the difference between having good ideas and being in a position to build, create, duplicate, whatever you want to call it, that technology.
And also, if we had such craft, why wouldn't we be using it instead of some of our airplanes that are currently, you know, how expensive they are?
What I'm trying to say is I don't think that if we had advanced technology that would be useful in the building of call them bombers as a generic class of craft able to put destruction all over the place, I don't think that we would not do it.
You know, what bothers me is that the military budget on this planet this year is approximately a trillion dollars.
That's an awful lot of dough.
That tells you something about the people on this planet.
And I think if we had the kind of technology that would enable you to build a bunch of fancy vehicles, aircraft in particular, I think we would.
And so, you know, there's a disconnect, in other words, between the idea of, well, we've got all this technology, but we're not using it or we're hiding it.
I don't understand because the military for sure has advanced technologies, aircraft and things, and the two maxims of the military to win a battle is take the high ground and keep everything secret.
And so perfecting this kind of technology would thoroughly satisfy those two things that you need to have to win a battle.
Because you want everybody, you want your enemies to all think that that's what you've got so that when the time comes, you can strike and you can strike quickly.
Surprise and the high ground are the two most valued things in military operations.
And this kind of weaponry gives you both of those advantages, but you have to keep it a secret.
Millions of locusts have descended on farmlands in southern Russia, devouring entire fields of crops and causing officials to declare a state of emergency in the region.
A vast area of at least 800 hectares is currently being affected as the swarms of insects, each measuring about 8 centimeters long, annihilate fields of corn and other crops.
It's been more than 30 years since this part of southern Russia suffered such a dense plague of locusts.
Officials say at least 10% of crops have already been destroyed, and the locust feeding frenzy is far from over, threatening to devastate the livelihoods of local farmers.
On state television, Russian news broadcasts are linking the plague to climate change, connecting the phenomenon to recent flooding and higher-than-average temperatures.
Officials from the Russian Ministry of Agriculture have declared a state of emergency, but appear helpless to prevent the destruction.
First NASA chief scientist Ellen Stoffen openly admitted that alien life is imminent, and just last Tuesday, Dr. John Grunsfeld of NASA's Science Mission Directorate announced the agency was on the verge of discovering life on planets other than Earth.
Some say that Stofan and Grunsfeld hide the fact that NASA has been lying to the public about known extraterrestrial life for decades now, and that ETs have likely been visiting Earth for centuries.
Grunsfeld told a House Committee, are we alone?
Many, many people on the planet want to know.
We are on the cusp of being able to answer that question.
And Stefan's recent comments were even more bold, saying that, I think we're going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade.
We're on the verge of things that people have wondered about for millennia.
Within all of our lifetimes, we're going to understand that there is life on other bodies in the solar system.
We're going to understand the implications of that for life here on Earth.
Her declaration is synchronized with the agency's recent discovery of water of five of Jupiter's and Saturn's moons.
We were also told by NASA recently that their Kepler mission found another Earth in the habitable zone in our universe circulating around a star that resembles our sun.
NASA defines habitable based on the ability of a planet to pool water ostensibly to support life as we know it.

A massive sinkhole has swallowed up an intersection in Brooklyn, New York, stalling up traffic and causing waters and gas outages to nearby buildings.
Local residents are already joking about turning it into a rent-controlled apartment.
Dramatic images show the gaping hole in the corner of 64th Street and 5th Avenue, located just a short block away from the I-278.
The crater appeared shortly after 7 on Tuesday morning.
There were no injuries.
Witnesses say there were cars on it just moments before, and rooftop surveillance cameras captured the cave in it.
The fabled Bishopville, South Carolina swamp creature, known as Lizard Man, appears to have surfaced again Sunday afternoon.
Sarah, a Sumter woman who says she went to church with a friend Sunday morning, stepped out of the sanctuary to see the lizard man running along the tree line.
So she did what anyone else would do.
She took a picture with her phone.
She says they were just a mile or so from Scape Or Swamp, the site of a similar spotting of what may also be the Lizard Man in May.
A man who asked not to be identified submitted a short video of what he thought was the Lizard Man Monday morning.
He said he took the video in May while coon hunting, but kept its existence quiet until he saw the reports of Lizard Man outside a church.
Scape Or Swamp is the area where most of the Lizard Man sightings over the last 30 years have been focused.
Yes, there's quite a lot of local lore surrounding the reptilian humanoid, including the first sighting in the summer of 1988.
There have been searches by Destination Truth and Mysteries at the Museum as recently as 2013.
In a 2014 episode of Ancient Aliens, the Lizard Man was mentioned.
The tales have been documented in a cryptology book titled Lizard Man, the story of the Bishopville Monster.
But the creature has not been seen in more than a decade, until now, possibly creating yet another ripple in the swampy waters around Bishopville.

Dark Matter News Take a walk on the wild side of midnight.
From the Kingdom of Nye, this is Midnight in the Desert with Art.
Tim Friedman, nuclear physicist, is here Jay Widener, filmet with more.
And the subject would appear to be Philip Forso and uh And I'm good with that.
I interviewed Philip Porso actually in a series of interviews and boiled down.
His contention was we took the information from the crash at Roswell and parceled it out to American industrial giants to build many of the things that we now enjoy.
Well, I did meet him more than once, but I checked on him.
And let me tell you some of the things I found.
For one thing, he claimed in the book The Day After Roswell that he had been a member of the National Security Council under Eisenhower.
That's pretty high as far as advising to the president.
You know, you don't get hired in the NSC.
Well, I checked with the Eisenhower Library.
I've been there many times, and they know me, so I told them what he had claimed, and they checked, and I got a letter back saying that he not only was never a member of the NSC, but he never attended a meeting.
They keep track of that sort of stuff.
And I sent a copy of the letter to the lawyer, Peter Gersten, to whom Philip had signed, for whom Phil had signed a sworn statement about his background.
And the lawyer showed it to Phil.
Don't you think we should take that out?
That claim?
No.
He didn't think so.
A second example was that one of the things, remember that he wasn't saying that this was going on right after Roswell.
Roswell happened in 47, early July.
He was saying that this happened after he started to work for General Trudeau, the Army Foreign Technology Division at the Pentagon.
This is after 1960.
So first of all, you have to think that, gee, what, they left that wreckage lying around?
He said he got a filing cabinet of Roswell materials, and that was his job to parcel it out.
A couple of things that he took credit for, there are no references in the book, which I find very frustrating, of course, were things, one, a guy got a Nobel Prize for work done years before Corso came along.
And there were other things that we know the sequence of how those new technologies came into being, lasers and other things.
And Corso wasn't part of it.
Remember, he was not an engineer or a scientist.
And so, and remember that Strom Thurman, who served, I still think he has the record for serving more years in the Senate than anybody, or close to it if he's not still the record holder, he withdrew the forward that was used in the book because he thought it was for a different book about intelligence agency work kind of stuff.
And when his people found out what the book was about, he withdrew it.
So also he claimed that he in July 6th, on July 6th, at Fort Riley, Kansas, his bowling buddy let him look into this crate, which there was a blue liquid in which there was an alien body.
Now, I've heard some egregious violations of security, but that outdoes them all.
There is no way that's going to happen.
That's like saying you're driving around with nuclear weapons in the truck and you park outside of McDonald and leave the truck open.
And we also know that if there's one thing the 509th had at Roswell, the 509th bomb group, the guys who dropped the atomic bombs, you know, if there's one thing they had was airplanes.
Why would they put stuff on a truck?
I mean, they put nuclear weapons on airplanes.
They certainly trusted them enough to be confident.
I was hoping he had something like that because that would be great.
Well, I know when I was transferred there, it turns out that was in March or April.
The date makes no sense.
And like I say, I worked under security for 14 years, and the idea of a bowling buddy in the military letting you look at a crate that has an alien body in it that is sitting around unguarded, just doesn't make any sense to me.
Now, look, if somebody lies, I'm sorry, but if I was an attorney and I was in court, I would have the whole damn thing thrown out successfully if I proved he lied.
I started to say before about when I spoke to the NASA people, what I wanted to get at and didn't, my problem, was that the shape of the command module, it came home to me when I got my hand on it, it's a round, blunt body.
I always thought, most people thought, that a high-speed aircraft has to have a plano, sharp wings, highly streamlined, you know, like the X-15 or something like that.
And we wind up with a round, blunt body coming back at 25,000 miles an hour.
And then, of course, I checked and found that we did do wind tunnel tests in 47 of round blunt bodies.
So I think some smart person said, hey, if these guys are able to go this fast with something that looks like that, maybe we ought to look into it.
So I think, and there may be other subtle things, maybe not so subtle, that have been done in the course of the Cold War that we learned from, remember, as it happens, I'm giving a paper Saturday in Nova Scotia, Liverpool, Nova Scotia.
Everybody's welcome.
In which I talk about crash saucers from Roswell to Shag Harbor, which is also in Nova Scotia.
I talk about five different events, and who knows how many more there were.
They got better at covering things up.
So I'm not saying we haven't been stimulated to look in new directions, that we haven't directly learned specific things that could be of interest.
I certainly hope we did.
If you got that much wreckage, there ought to be people.
I mean, I think that was one of the functions of Operation Majestic 12, is to coordinate the efforts that how do we find out useful stuff here?
You know, you don't parcel that out at 20 different places.
So, and I've got a book, Top Secret Magic that goes into that.
And, you know, I don't know if we, certainly, you and I never talked about this, I don't think, about General Carol Bolander.
No.
It's an incredible tale.
He was an Air Force general, an engineer on a lunar excursion module.
Jay, bear with me.
I've said lunar excursion module.
And he was asked in 1969 after the Condon committee people had recommended in early 69 that Project Blue Book be closed.
He was asked, had no previous connection with Blue Book, Air Force Project Blue Book, what should we do about Project Blue Book?
And he wrote a memo, which we didn't see until 10 years later, and I think then it was inadvertently released.
On the surface, it didn't look spectacular until you looked at what it said inside.
In the memo, he said, and his memo resulted in the closure of Project Blue Book at the end of the year.
He said, reports of UFOs which could affect national security are made in accordance with JNAP, Joint Army, Navy, Air Force Publication 146, or Air Force Manual 55-11, and are not part of the Blue Book system.
And two paragraphs later, he says, if we close Project Blue Book, the public won't have a place to report UFO sightings.
However, as previously noted, reports which could affect national security will continue to be investigated using the procedures established for that purpose.
And yet the Air Force, for umpteen years, has been saying, Blue Book was it, that's it, no national security, no.
I decided I'd call, I'd try to talk to him.
So I located him.
It's easier to find generals with unusual names than John Smith, for example.
And I talked to General Bolander, retired by this time.
And I said, it sounds to me like you're saying that there are two separate communication channels here.
One for reports that could affect national security, and I just heard one, I told him, about a saucer going down the runway at a strategic air command base where nuclear weapons are stored.
By definition, that's a problem for national security.
And then the other problem, if my wife and I are walking down the street and see a saucer go by, big deal, happens all the time.
He agreed with me two separate communication channels.
And so that's extraordinary.
And most people are totally unaware of Bohlander's statement.
Well, I mean, I've looked at the limits at the Smithsonian, and what the conspiracy theorists on that front are saying is that with the backpack and the suit and everything, they can't get through this small opening.
Not as complicated as getting, launching into Earth orbit, going from the Earth to the Moon, then going down from, never tested, taking a soft landing.
The only soft landing test that was ever tried was by Neil Armstrong in New Mexico, and he almost killed himself.
And yet the next time they do the soft landing on a planet they've never been to, it goes absolutely perfect.
Yeah, the number of technical issues that face you trying to just get to the moon and not miss by a 500 miles, it's astounding what you have to go through.
That's why I brought up the incidences with Edgar Mitchell and Buzz Aldrin.
There's some kind of psychological operation going on where these guys, there's no way in the world that I'm going to go to the moon and not remember it, period.
I don't care what you say.
I'm going to remember every second.
I'm going to relive those moments my entire life.
And neither Buzz Aldrin or Edgar Mitchell can even say it.
They can't even talk about what happened to them on the moon.
They just can't say it.
Neil Armstrong never did an interview.
He stayed on his ranch in Ohio and never went out, never did anything.
It's over and over again.
You find these odd reactions by the astronauts.
And again, I don't think they're lying.
I think it's much more complicated than that.
unidentified
I think it's, I don't know, brainwashing, if you will.
Well, this is actually how I got started on my whole journey years ago.
I discovered a monument in the south of France, which I proceeded to decipher, which is actually in my first two books.
And it appears to be of a 400-year-old monument in which a, I don't know, a secret society or some group of men has inscribed a series of symbols, which no doubt, after you see my interpretation, say that there was a gigantic CME or coronal mass ejection at some point in the past, which killed a lot of people.
And they're warning about it in the future.
And in fact, I believe it's a group of Freemasons and that this may be one of the tenants of Freemasonry is to keep this memory of this outburst from the sun alive and also pass it down into the people of the future.
And when my first book came out in 1999, I was actually criticized by NASA for being a fear-mongerer.
And I actually got in some debates with NASA.
And then about 2004, all of a sudden NASA changed their mind.
And they began warning that there was this chance that we could be thrown into the sixth century BC in the flash of an instant by a coronal mass ejection frying everything up, which I had not really talked about.
I was talking about the human part of it.
And so now NASA's in full-tilt boogie about coronal mass ejections and protecting nuclear power plants because if they get fried, radiation is going to go crazy, which I'm gratified to hear and see.
But at the same time, I think it's really a really big concern that we should have.
And we're not doing enough to protect ourselves from this.
It's going to happen.
It happened in 1859, and it's going to happen again.
And we're a wired society, and we're going to pay deeply when this happens.
Buzz has admitted that he performed a Freemasonic operation when he was on the moon.
Now, I don't believe he went to the moon, so I don't believe the story, but why would he be performing a Freemasonic operation if he wasn't already a Freemason?
Why is he saying this?
And I'm just telling you, this is widely reported.
It's not some speculation or something.
unidentified
Yeah, I'm a Freemason, and I'm so thankful for you guys' thoughts on that.
I don't think we're going to get a big argument on that.
There should be an argument, though, about whether we went to the moon as you suggest we did, Jay, or whether we went to the moon as we were told we went to the moon.
I mean, about a different no, I guess the simplest answer is no, okay?
I don't think we went there in a fancy electromagnetic propulsion system or an unspoken about system.
There are several different questions here.
I do think we went there.
I don't think the astronauts worked on a soundstage somewhere to, or okay, somebody impersonating astronauts, which makes it sound even worse, I guess.
It does.
You know, so there's a whole gray area here, if you'll pardon the expression.
Speaking of gray, Stanton, I'd like to point something out.
I'm glad you brought that up.
When the Chinese sent the rabbit, the jade rabbit, to the moon a year ago or whatever, they took pictures of the moon's surface.
You agree that's probably true, right?
But the surface of the moon is brown in those pictures, not slate gray, like it is in all the Apollo photographs.
And I haven't heard anybody explain why is there such a huge difference in the color of the moon between the two operations, especially when you consider that the astronauts were shooting ectachrome, which is far superior to digital.
Well, you know, if you two are going to sit here and agree that all this possibly could have been faked, then who's to say that some of the other things that people like Richard Hoagland have said about things that are on the moon he believes might not be true?
And anybody who sits and examines the aerial photography of the moon, which is where Hoagland is right, when Hoagland is sticking with the lunar orbiter stuff, with the Apollo stuff from the air, wherever it was taken, with the stuff taken in orbit, that stuff is real.
And what he's finding is, you know, it's jaw-dropping.
There's domes, there's square-shaped buildings, there's, looks like even highways in some cases.
The lunar orbiter, all of the videotape of the lunar orbiters, beautiful imagery of the moon, all that tape is rotting in a McDonald's in Pasadena, California, an old McDonald's.
He's got a great point because we never touched on it, and I don't think we should on this show, but maybe some other show.
But in 237, what they do is they cover all of these people's opinions of the movie The Shining.
And my opinion of the movie The Shining, which I believe it closes the case, is that every time that Stanley Kubrick deviates from the Stephen King book, he's telling you the story about him having to fake the Apollo moon landings.
And I have a case I make is deadly.
And even Christiana Kubrick wrote me and told me how impressed she was by my case.
I would like to address that, actually, what he just brought up.
Go ahead.
James Olberg was incensed by the 2004 documentary on Fox called We Never Went to the Moon.
He was totally incensed.
I think you guys know who James Olberg is.
He's a science writer, really good science writer.
And a huge man, too, by the way, like 6'8.
But he went to NASA and he got a $25,000 advance to write a book proving that they went to the moon.
He became exasperated because he kept asking NASA for this file and that file and this picture and that picture and this video and that video, and they would never help him.
Finally, he returned the advance and gave up writing the book.
Not because he didn't want to write the book, but because NASA wouldn't cooperate with him.
If you believe that we had been to the moon, but what we were shown on video was not in fact what happened, then what would have happened with all the astronauts who actually went up there?
Were they the same people, but under different circumstances?
Or did they just kind of disappear out of history and never get heard from again?
Well, there is even argument about whether it exists.
So whatever we call it.
unidentified
If you go read any of Townsend Brown's work, it's all children's toys, basically.
I mean, much has been kept.
But I'm a professional photographer, and my question, I saw a while back they sold one of the Hasselblads they claim went to the moon, and there was no shielding on that camera whatsoever.
And, you know, if you shoot a lot of film, you know that radiation obviously is a problem because the air ports and X-rays.
But heat also plays a big role.
And unfiltered sun on a camera like that full of film would just nuke it.
So did they have any kind of, I mean, I haven't seen any, but did they shield those cameras in any way when they took them up there?
If you go to the Hasse Blad site, Hasseblad provided the cameras, they actually show you the cameras.
They're just regular Hasablads and unshielded.
And you're right, unshielded cameras in 250-degree heat.
Actually, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard as a photographer.
I know there's no way that this can happen.
But you bring up another point which I really want to talk about, which I haven't yet.
And that is the composition of the photography on the moon.
Now, the astronauts had the camera on their chest.
They could not look through the viewfinder.
They were just clicking away, clicking away.
But if you look, and I have, and I've been to Houston, I've gone through the entire photo archives of NASA's Apollo missions, and you look, and it's one stunning photograph after another.
It's just, you know, and then you think about, oh, Stanley Kubrick got hired by Look magazine to be their top photographer when he was 19 years old.
And you look at these photographs, and there's no way, these are amateur shots by guys who aren't looking through the lens.
These are carefully composed and lit shots.
And as a photographer, they're just very well done.
That's all I can say.
unidentified
I always wondered who set up the cameras to, you know, initially to show them getting out.
A drone dropped a package of drugs into a prison yard while inmates were outside, sparking a fight.
It contained almost a quarter of an ounce of heroin, over two ounces of marijuana, and more than five ounces of tobacco.
Smith said there had been instances of drones breaching security, and the agency is taking steps to increase awareness and improve drone detection.
Video footage showed the drone over recreation yards immediately before a fight began.
An investigation determined the drone dropped a package intended for an inmate on the North Recreation Yard, and it was then thrown over a fence to the South Recreation Yard.
Last year, the Mansfield Post of the Ohio Highway Patrol increased efforts to watch and catch criminals who throw contraband over prison fences.
Pitcher, Oklahoma.
It's a ghost town and former city in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, formerly a major national center of lead and zinc mining at the heart of the tri-state mining district.
Over a century of unrestricted subsurface excavation dangerously undermined most of Pitcher's town buildings and left giant piles of toxic metal-contaminated mine tailings heaped throughout the area.
The discovery of the cave-in risks, groundwater contamination, and health effects associated with the chad piles and subsurface shafts, particularly an alarming 1996 study which showed lead poisoning in 34% of the children in Pitcher.
This eventually prompted a mandatory evacuation and buyout of the entire township by the state of Oklahoma and the incorporation of the town, along with the similarly contaminated satellite towns of Trees and Cardin.
An F-4 tornado, which destroyed or damaged 150 homes in May 2008, accelerated the exodus.
The town ceased official operations on September 1st, 2009.
A new comet is currently making its inaugural trip to the inner solar system from the Oort cloud, where it likely originated.
New images show a tremendous amount of dust streaming away from it, along with strange blobs that have attracted the attention of astronomers.
The comet, in addition to being unusually dusty, appears to be jetsoning weird clumps.
Their explanation is that since the clumps are moving directly away from the sun, it appears they are being driven by the solar wind.
The fact that the clumps do not change in size as they blow away suggests they are being held together by a magnetic field of the solar wind.
This means they are likely charged particles or ionized gas, which are sensitive to magnetic fields.
Likely candidates are ionized potassium and sodium that have been roasted out of the rocks on the comet as it passes close to the sun.
Another possibility is the clumps are dust in the process of exploding.
If true, this could explain why comet tails have lines that make them appear as if they're combed.
Surgeons in Manchester have performed the first bionic eye implant in a patient with the most common cause of sight loss in the developed world.
Ray Flynn, age 80, has dry age-related macular degeneration, which has led to the total loss of his central vision.
He is using a retinal implant, which converts video images from a miniature video camera worn on his glasses.
He can now make out the direction of white lines on a computer screen using the retinal implant.
Mr. Flynn said he was delighted with the implant and hoped in time it would improve his vision sufficiently to help him with day-to-day tasks like gardening and shopping.
The images from his glasses are converted into electrical pulses and transmitted wirelessly to an array of electrodes attached to the retina.
The electrodes stimulate the retina's remaining cells, which send the information to the brain.
In a test two weeks after surgery, Mr. Flynn was able to detect the pattern of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines on a computer screen using the implant.
With his eyelids closed, macular degeneration can be a devastating condition, and many people are now affected as we live longer.
These are early trials, but in time, this research may lead to a really useful device for people who lose their central vision.

I have these wormhole messages, and Jay, somebody named Lone Boy says, what Jay said about not being able to find the Saturn V blueprints just simply isn't true.
Bill Wood, the rocket scientist, told me that a guy was told, he was working at NASA, and he was told to destroy all the blueprints for the Saturn V, and he was really upset by the order.
And he did destroy all of the blueprints of the Saturn V but one, and he kept it, and he took it home with him to keep it.
And about two weeks later, he got a knock at the door, and it was the FBI telling him to give up that set of blueprints.
Well, you know, Paul Lavallette, a good friend of mine, and he worked in the patent office for a few years, and he kept noticing that he would approve a patent, and then people above him would stop it.
And then he would notice that the kind of the patent would go dark.
And I'm contending to you that every time one of these inventions comes up, it makes a brief flurry in the news, and then it goes dark.
Everything seems to be happening like this.
And I'm contending to you that that's exactly what's going on.
They're going dark, and they're contributing to this overall mission of creating this kind of breakaway civilization, as Richard Dolan puts it, where they're 60, 70 years ahead of us.
And that means a lot.
Think about technology 70 years ago and now.
And there's no transistors, no computers.
And so if they are that far ahead, and the reports I get from my insiders are is that this is the correct view, that they are that far ahead and that they're really advanced, and they have all sorts of incredible gizmos, including a box the size of a shoebox that apparently can create energy out of nothing and run huge machines.
And they have free energy, and they have all these things, and they're hiding it.
And I think it's time for this stuff to be released.
I think the Earth, we don't need any more Fukushimas, we don't need any more oil burning.
If they really have this technology, I think we have to really start kind of forcing the issue.
And that's one of the reasons I'm doing this whole thing about the moon and Stanley Kubrick, is I'm trying to get these issues forced out into the open because my insiders tell me they have amazing technologies.
And Mr. Friedman, I followed your career for years, and I'm entitled to agree with you.
And the reason I say that is how would you explain if we had such advanced technology at the time and we were using it, how would you explain the Apollo 13 that Tom Hanks brought to light?
Jay, I know you're a filmmaker, and I'm aware of Your stance in the world, which is amazing.
We need that actually.
People need to hear what Jay has to say.
He's got a lot of great things to say, and it's not just him, it's information that's on this planet that he has in him, and many people have in them, but they're keeping quiet.
Yeah, Last Avatar opened yesterday on Vimeo, and you just go to thelastavatar.movie.com, or if you want to watch it, you know, just watch.thelastavatarmovie.com.
It's a story of a guy who is pretty much a failure in life who realizes that he's actually a dynamic, special human being and he tries to change the world, which is what I think all of us should be trying to do right now because the world's in pretty bad shape.
This has been an interesting, if disjointed, program.
I'm not entirely sure what Mr. Widener is getting at.
So far as I can tell, he claims that NASA did, in fact, go to the moon, but the footage we were all shown was a fakery produced by, I guess, Stanley Kubrick.
Yeah, why haven't some of the other technologically advanced and advancing nations, we have many of those right now, landed somebody on the moon, or will they?
The radiation problems, the solar radiation, the synchrotron radiation, there's a lot of problems being on the surface of the moon that no one is actually talking about.
NASA has put out many papers recently warning about how dangerous it is out in outer space and on the moon and Going to Mars without actually ever considering that they actually went there and everybody was fine.
So there's a great contradiction within NASA about the whole thing.
And I'm also certified in metallurgy and aluminum non-ferrous alloys and optical emission spectroscopy.
What I wanted to tell you is that there's a connection.
You mentioned about the 400-year CME warning that was on Jay.
And I've come up with a premise I think that is really shocking.
It's about the vowel vortices.
There's 12 of them on this earth.
And they're made up of aluminum alloy that is isotope 26.
And they're placed around the globe at north and south hemispheres in an even pattern, almost like a stator on a motor.
And I've been trying to correlate that with what we're seeing with the sun CME, the noises in the atmosphere and the grindy noises that Linda was talking about last week.
You have to look really hard to see any sunspots at all, much less major eruptions.

Well, the point is, what we're looking at here with this reduction in the magnetic fields of the Earth is a potential for a magnetic flip.
And I think that those valvortices were placed there intentionally and had to be created from a high-intensity gamma-proton ray beam directed from space to coordinate that kind of pattern.
So I believe that there was a civilization here before, and maybe still here, that we're dealing with the secret societies that we're talking about that are really directing humanity, and they may have actually placed them there to prevent a pole flip.
And I'd like to get some comments, Mr. Freeman, from you on that.
I worry about things like that, like CMEs and so forth, and also the fact that we've had a planet here for over 4 billion years, and our recorded history is really very short.
And I don't see that we're any smarter than the Greeks were.
We know some things they didn't know, but no more intelligent Greek literature is not children's literature, for example.
So I think we are living in a world in which we are quite ignorant about the past.
And I think there may very well have been advanced civilizations here.
Now, we may be somebody's colony, too.
It's a penal colony.
They dumped all the bad boys and girls here, and that's why we're so nasty to each other.
I can't find another good reason for us to be so nasty.
So I think we've got a lot to learn.
And, you know, many of the things that we accept today were rejected for a long time, not because they were wrong, but because people thought, well, I'm so smart, if that were true, I would know about it, and I don't.
Kathleen Martin and I did a book on science was wrong, 14 chapters, each one stimulated by some smart guy saying something stupid.
Like, man will never fly, said a great astronomer.
That was two months before the Wright brothers' first flight.
The English astronomer Royal said space travel is utter bilge a year before Sputnik.
The vaccination would never do anything about smallpox.
You know, there are a whole bunch of these.
The original title was supposed to be It's Impossible, isn't it?
