Meet Valkyrie - NASA's Super Robot For Mars Mission - Video

NASA's Robonaut is only just getting its legs, but it already has some fresh (and arguably superior) competition. The agency's Johnson Space Center has given IEEE Spectrum a sneak peek at Valkyrie, a DARPA Robotics Challenge entry built to take on dangerous tasks that would normally require a human presence. In addition to sporting more joints than many of its typical two-legged rivals, the sometimes autonomous machine is chock-full of cameras, LIDAR and sonar that help it quickly move around. It can operate under planetary gravity loads that Robonaut can't touch, and even an inexperienced user can keep it running; the modular design lets astronauts swap out batteries and replacement limbs within minutes.

Valkyrie isn't guaranteed to enter service, as it will have to win the support of both DARPA and NASA officials before it progresses much further. If it passes muster, however, it could be vital to NASA's long-term plans for Mars -- robots such as Valkyrie will likely prepare any future Martian landing site and assist humans once they arrive.

Ben Hansen and MUFON Sky Watch Group Film UFOs - Arizona

Ben Hansen, host of the SyFy channel’s Fact or Faked Paranormal Files, hosted a sky watch with advanced night vision equipment for the Phoenix area Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and captured some interesting video of two curious objects.

The Phoenix area chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) holds sky watches after many of their meeting in the nearby Superstition Mountains. On November 16, 2013, Hansen was the guest lecturer for their monthly meeting. He joined the group, as did I, for the sky watch. Fortunately, Hansen owns a night vision company called Night Vision Ops. He brought along some great equipment for everyone to try out.

During the sky watch two lights were spotted that could not be seen with the naked eye. Hansen was able to track the lights and record them on HD video. I was also tracking the objects with another of Hansen’s night vision devices.

The objects did not have any blinking lights, like planes would. As Hansen explains on the video, “Although there are many commercial and military vectors in the area, conventional craft are required to use nav beacons which are easily seen pulsating though night vision.”

The description Hansen posted with the video reads:

November 16, 2013 skywatch in the Superstition Mountains which took place after a Phoenix MUFON meeting. 3rd Generation night vision was adapted to a DSLR camera filming in 1080p HD. Two objects were witnessed for over 9 minutes traveling in unison across the sky. Some satellite formations such as the NOSS do orbit in formation. The video is an example of the capability of Generation 3 night vision to enhance objects too dim to see with the unaided eye. The LRS night vision scope attaches directly to the camera body of your DSLR Nikon or Canon for crisp filming with the included lens or your own lens attached to the end. Other night vision scopes can be adapted to your iPhone. To learn more about night vision and thermal options and to purchase your own equipment, visit Night Vision Ops at www.nightvisionops.com.

Often simple points of lights turn out to be satellites, but satellites do not typically travel in groups. However, the Navy has the Naval Ocean Surveillance System (NOSS). These are satellite formations that can travel in groups of two or three. They are also dim enough that they cannot typically be seen by the unaided eye, but night vision could spot them.

In the video, Hansen writes that he is “almost certain” what he captured are NOSS satellites. Although he admits, “In all my skywatching, it’s actually the first time I’ve seen a pair of these.”

One of the people present at the sky watch, who claims to have worked for the Air Force tracking satellites, said he was certain these were not satellites. I am not so sure either.

A few days prior to this sighting I wrote a story about a UFO video that does appear more likely to be NOSS satellites. In that video the objects keep the same distance from each other. In Hansen’s video the objects change in position relative to each other. My guess is that they change position because they are much closer than satellites, and as the angle we view them changes, they seem to change position.

The Navy does not publicize the orbits of the NOSS satellites. However, hobbyists have tracked them and sites such as Heavens-Above.com predict their orbits based off of that information. Heavens-Above.com did not list any NOSS satellites passing over the Phoenix area on the night of November 16.

Another MUFON investigator that was present suggested they were military jets with their lights off. Nearby is the Goldwater testing range, and jets are often seen flying over that area doing exercises with all lights off. However, technically the military should not be flying over an urban area such as where we saw them with their lights off, but it is certainly possible.

NOSS satellites, military jets with their lights off, swamp gas, or something more mysterious? Let us know what you think.

UFOs Over Arizona Move Sporadically in the Sky - Video

Small lights appeared then disappeared, some moved in a seemingly random direction, some were stationary. My friend and I were leaving my house and were getting in her car when I pointed out some strange lights behind her. The lights, I think 4 or 5 total were slowly moving in different directions out South towards nothing. 

Our airport is the opposite direction and there is really only residential areas and desert in the direction where the lights were. These lights faded in and out a few times. We only viewed them for about a minute. My brother happened to be outside for about 30 seconds and caught a picture. I recorded video. My friend and I drove toward the direction where we thought they were to a field where nothing would be blocking our view shortly after the last light faded but the lights were gone.. This happened around 8pm. If you see the video youll be able to tell how my friend and I were reacting, we were both freaking out.

Kim Wilde Had UFO Close Encounter After Michael Jackson's Death

Eighties pop star Kim Wilde had a close encounter with a UFO as she mourned the death of Michael Jackson.

The Kids in America hit-maker is convinced she and many of her family possess mild psychic powers, and the extraterrestrial sighting from the back yard of her home in England in 2009 convinced her.

Wilde tells The New Review magazine, "Maybe a part of me was quite psychic, because we have strong psychics in my family, especially on my father's side... I am tuned into it, a little bit. I don't see ghosts and stuff but I did see something very unusual in the sky once, which I can only say was a Ufo. But there were lots of witnesses, it was in the local paper, it wasn't just me...

"It was 26 June, the day after Michael Jackson died, and me and my mate were in the garden and we saw bright lights in the sky. I have to say there's not a day gone by that I don't think about what the hell it was. It was so huge, two of them, going zig-zag for 10 minutes and I knew it was really massive. It could be some very clever thing that someone developed somewhere, but I've got a feeling it wasn't."
