Watch Out for the Blue Moon on August 31, 2012

Moon

Moody Moon!

When someone says “Once in a Blue Moon,” you know what they mean:  Rare, seldom, even absurd.

This year it means August 31st.

For the second time this month, the Moon is about to become full.  There was one full Moon on August 1st/2nd, and now a second is coming on August 31st.  According to modern folklore, whenever there are two full Moons in a calendar month, the second one is “blue.”

But will the moody Moon of August 31st actually turn blue?  Probably not.

Most Blue Moons look pale gray and white, indistinguishable from any other Moon you’ve ever seen.  Squeezing a second full Moon into a calendar month doesn’t change the physical properties of the Moon itself, so its color remains the same.

With that caveat in mind, however, be aware that on rare occasions it can happen.

A truly-blue Moon usually requires a volcanic eruption. Back in 1883, for example, people saw blue moons almost every night after the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa exploded with the force of a 100-megaton nuclear bomb. Plumes of ash rose to the very top of Earth’s atmosphere, and the Moon … it turned blue!

Krakatoa’s ash was the reason. Some of the plumes were filled with particles 1 micron wide, about the same as the wavelength of red light.  Particles of this special size strongly scatter red light, while allowing blue light to pass through. Krakatoa’s clouds thus acted like a blue filter.

People also saw blue-colored Moons in 1983 after the eruption of the El Chichon volcano in Mexico. And there are reports of blue Moons caused by Mt. St. Helens in 1980 and Mount Pinatubo in 1991.

Alien Bio Humanoid Found On Mars? 2012

anomaly

Incredible anomaly from the Curiosity Rover yet again. This time a series of holes that are in parallel and seem to have been drilled, very unlikely these occurred naturally and its highly likely they are of intelligent design.

The second incredible anomaly i found is what looks like a humanoid head resting against some rocks, the body is not visible, but the facial features are easily seen. The head looks humanoid with a clam shell like forehead. To the left and right of the face we can clearly make out some kind of devices, possibly pipes or tubes which could be part of a bio mechanical suit, they could also be machinery of some kind.

Two possible lifeforms discovered in the new pictures of Mount Sharp, Gales Crater on Mars. One of the anomalies looks very similar to a snake or reptile of some kind, and seems to be eating something.

The second anomalie looks like a quadruped creature of some kind. Of course these anomalies could be tricks of the light or mis-identified, but truth is usually stranger than fiction, and there are many curious and unexplained anomalies and artefacts on Mars

Mystery Light Columns Appear In Japan 2012

mystery

Dozens of mystery light columns appeared in Japan following a unusual thunderstorm.

Hundreds of people witnessed this rare and frightening phenomena, as fiery light columns appeared in the sky.

Eyewitnesses reported, that the light poles appeared immediately after a heavy and unusual lightning storm, lasting several minutes before vanishing.

In 1908 just before the Tunguska explosion, similar phenomena occurred, giant pillars of fire rose from the earth to the sky.

Many locals are fearful that a major disaster is looming, and that the light columns are a warning of grave danger.

Stephen: “This story has been confirmed by the Japanese media and the pictures are authentic, and come from different sources, just in case your wondering”.

Retired Chinese soldier builds “alien research station”

aliens

Rumors of UFO sightings and aliens visiting this planet seem to be increasing in China.

After 17 years of hard work, Xiang Kuansong has finally completed the ”alien research station” he has been building in his village in Mayang county, Hunan province. The 79-year-old said he was told to build it by two beings from another planet.

“Don’t be afraid. We are not ghosts or god. We are people from another planet who want to help you,” the aliens allegedly told Xiang in Chinese.

Xiang’s research station has none of the radio dishes and high tech equipment that are usually associated with the search for extraterrestrial life. In fact, it looks more like a traditional Chinese temple, with a sign at the entrance that reads: “The harmonious way to a foreign planet”.

The retired soldier said he first met the two aliens from the planet of ”Dongsheng” in the late 1980s. They are about 1.95 meters talland visit him quite often, wearing clothes that make them invisible but he can see them and communicate with them.

The two “Dongshengians” asked him to build the station so they could have a place to rest during their trips to other planets, and so far he has spent 200,000 Yuan ($31,470) on their way station.

Inside there is a concrete model of a saucer-like spaceship, and stone tablets marking the spots where Xiang says the aliens talked to him are scattered around the compound.

Although the other villagers believe Xiang is crazy, he just smiles and ignores their taunts. Continue reading here

Early July, photographer Wu Chunyan snapped this unidentified flying ‘ghost’ object in Fenghuang Mountain near Harbin, Heilingjian province. (It is not clear whether this photograph is real or fake).
