Tourist Transforms Into REPTILIAN-LIKE HUMANOID in Sousa‚ Dominican Republic

A Dominican lady of the night recalls a harrowing experience that she had with a client who had transformed into a Reptilian-like humanoid!I received the following account:Hola. Back in 2018‚ I went to the Dominican Republic to spend time with my parents. I';m a very social guy so I made friends with a lot of the Dominicans as well as Haitians in the neighborhood.One night‚ I was hanging out with my new friends and one of them decided to tell us what had just happened to a girl who we all recognized from the area. She was a prostitute‚ however. In the Dominican Republic that';s a way of living for some women so others know what they do for work.Anyway‚ the story went like this. The girl was working a couple nights ago in a tourist area called Sosua. There she met a man from Europe who wanted her to spend the night with him and she agreed. Before that they were enjoying the night‚ drinking and partying at a bar. After drinking lots of beers‚ they left the bar and headed for the man';s place. When they got to his place they conducted business and she fell asleep but woke up in the middle of the night because she didn';t want to stay until the morning. However‚ she wanted to get paid for her services‚ so she looked around but the man was not in the bed with her. She thought he was testing her to see if she was a thief and would go through his things so she decided to leave the bedroom and go looking for him.She heard the shower running and decided to go into the bathroom. When she got inside the bathroom she saw a huge Reptilian-like humanoid lying in the bathtub! She was so terrified that she screamed and bolted out of the house forgetting her clothes and ran all the way back to her house in the middle of the night naked. This girl I recognized and she did not want to talk about the incident and she was so traumatized that she feared telling the story to people. CHAVE A COMMENT?

Unexplained Encounter: ODD-SHAPED CRAFT‚ MEN IN WHITE UNIFORMS‚ LOST TIME‚ &;amp; POSSIBLE ABDUCTION

A Williamsburg‚ Virginia man describes an interesting experience with an unknown craft‚ two humanoids‚ and missing time.The following account was forwarded to me:March 16‚ 1965: At approximately 6:00 P.M.‚ CST. I was standing in our yard near the porch in front of our house near Williamsburg‚ Virginia when I noticed a strange-looking craft about a half-mile away approaching from slightly south of the east. Aircraft followed a regular route north and south‚ but virtually never flew east and west. This craft appeared to consist of one or more rectangular metal boxes stacked upon one another in the center with smaller rectangular metal boxes abutting it on each side. It had no wings. That is the way it looked head-on as it flew towards me. The only sound it made was a gentle swishing sound similar to that of grouse gliding through the air.When it got closer I noticed that this craft appeared to be made of brushed stainless steel with a slightly reddish glint. The sun had not yet set. No lights‚ no moving parts‚ no emissions. It was about two and a half times the size of an automobile. The front sloped downwards from the top‚ two-thirds of the way down to the bottom‚ similar to early 1990s Ford minivans. Glass extended from halfway up to within an eighth of the way to the top.At the time this craft did not appear to be saucer-shaped‚ because I was viewing it head-on with the play of light and a slightly rocking motion making it look like rectangular boxes pressed together and piled upon one another. I retained a distinct impression of its sharp angular design‚ especially of the seam that separated the side from the front‚ with no attempt at softening its features‚ as if it were a prototype. My mother was at the clothesline about 200 feet away.Two humanoids/men dressed in white uniforms were standing inside the craft and were on the side nearest to me about midway between the front and the back in a narrow corridor that seemed to go all the way around the craft behind which was a bulkhead that reached the roof so that you could not see all the way through to the other side. Their uniforms were like those worn by American military officers‚ plain white tunics without any insignia and they were not wearing caps. I was left with the distinct impression of them resembling fine-featured Englishmen. The attention of one man who seemed to be operating controls at a console that was hidden from view beneath the level of the window was directed downwards while the other man looked outside. The craft flew at an altitude of about 400 feet. The man looking out the window drew the other mans attention to my mother who was hanging clothes at the clothesline. The craft came to a virtual stop as they gazed at her when one of the men spotted me watching them‚ reacted like he was startled‚ alerted the other man and the craft sped off at high speed beyond a grove of trees and was soon out of sight. That this happened two days before the first space walk on March 18‚ 1965‚ enables me to establish the date.Footnotes: The aftermath: My mother was adamant that what she saw was a satellite passing overhead and each attempt to convince her that this was not a satellite because satellites traveled many miles above the earth proved futile. She also denied seeing men inside the craft. My sister demanded to know where we had been‚ as she had twice come outside looking for us‚ (including checking the barn) to call us in for dinner‚ but that we had disappeared for about 20 minutes and were nowhere to be found‚ while I was adamant that I had been standing right in front of the house all that time. While I retained a distinct impression of this vehicle NOT being saucer-shaped‚ in retrospect it appears illogical that the two men should be positioned and steering the craft from the side and not at the front unless it was saucer-shaped and what appeared to be the side was actually the front that was now turned towards me. Due to the oblique angle at which surfaces were struck by sunlight a disk made up of rectangular pieces of metal joined together would appear to be rectangles due to variation in surface with the slightest change in position. But if it was saucer-shaped why was there a seam dividing the side from the front? What appeared to be the side joining the front at a right angle might be due to lighting making the surfaces seem to be flat‚ as the front facing the sun was lit up brighter than the side that was facing me.My conclusion that might not be correct is that it was not saucer-shaped. I recently became aware when my hair was clipped down to the scalp that I have deep scars of unknown origin on top of fissures in my skull that form two 5 flattened‚ inverted Vs on the side near the back of my head. It happened precisely as I described with no reason to make up a story (and for that matter I do not wish anyone to know who I am). That was more than fifty years ago. When I tried to tell others what I had seen I was met with disbelief and did not bring up the matter again until about a year ago. I did not think of the craft as extra-terrestrial or as even a flying saucer.This was near the beginning of an era of new technology that included transistors and ventures into space. (TVs still used tubes). As I stated‚ it appeared to be a prototype with no attempt made to soften its features‚ particularly the sharp angle between the vertical side and the horizontally sloping front. The part in my footnote about my sister saying that she had twice come out to call us in for dinner‚ but that we had gone somewhere for about 20 minutes‚ I simply dismissed due to a careless glance outside (as I was actually standing about 20 ft. S/W of the door) even though she had been clear that she had looked all over for us‚ but we were nowhere to be found. I am not brave enough to undergo hypnosis‚ but it would be interesting if she did if she had a memory of what happened during the missing time that was prevented from surfacing. That was my only experience with nothing unusual before or since that time.I will add this. During a medical examination for employment when I had completed university it was discovered that I had a section missing (a cyst) in my right kidney. At that time I could also feel a pea-sized ";pinch"; to the left of my heart that vanished a few years later. But I have no reason to believe that these have any connection to the event. About two decades ago when I returned from the hospital my broken jaw was wired together‚ a few days later I experienced a loss of consciousness that was like going under and asked my doctor if that was due to residual gas in my lungs. In the blink of an eye‚ the room was uncomfortably hot‚ and in the next instant‚ it was cold‚ and eight hours later. (I cannot recall the medical term the doctor used to describe the incident). Yet‚ strangely‚ I seemed to think that this episode was not connected to the operation. Less than half a year ago I had my barber clip my hair down to the scalp and was shocked when he held the mirror behind my head and I saw for the first time two scar-covered fissures on the side near the back of my head that were previously hidden under the hair."; UHAVE A COMMENT?

Top 10 Jefferson Starship Songs

Our Top 10 Jefferson Starship songs list takes a look at a band that was one of the most influential psychedelic bands of the 1960s and then radically changed their sound‚ style‚ and‚ interestingly‚ their name from the Jefferson Airplane to the Jefferson Starship in the early 1970s. The name change occurred because of the departure of Jack Casady and guitarist Jorma Kaukonen‚ who would continue to work with their own band‚ Hot Tuna. The change from the Airplane to the Starship did not occur overnight. The Jefferson Starship grew from Paul Kanters offshoot band Planet Earth Rock and Roll The post Top 10 Jefferson Starship Songs appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

18-year-old plotted terrorist attack on 21 churches in Idaho after swearing allegiance to ISIS during COVID‚ FBI says

An Idaho man allegedly plotted a terror attack on nearly two dozen Christian churches for the sake of the Islamic state‚ but he was thwarted by FBI informants.The FBI said agents were tracking Alexander Scott Mercurio for two years after he converted to Islam against his Christian parents'; wishes. Mercurio was arrested on Saturday a day before he allegedly planned to launch his attack coinciding with the end of the religious month of Ramadan. ";Thanks to the investigative efforts of the FBI‚ the defendant was taken into custody before he could act‚ and he is now charged with attempting to support ISIS';s mission of terror and violence‚"; read a statement from Attorney General Merrick Garland. FBI task force officer John Taylor II said in a sworn statement that Mercurio told him he planned to attack his father in order to gain access to his guns for the terror attack. Mercurio';s father had a locked cabinet with rifles‚ handguns‚ and ammunition. Mercurio allegedly planned to die in an act of martyrdom after attacking the churches. The statement alleges that Mercurio tried to build an explosive vest to be used during the attacks. ";A craving for mayhem and murder."; Prosecutors say that the teenager first converted to Islam during the coronavirus pandemic when the schools closed. ";I';ve stopped asking and praying for martyrdom because I don';t feel like I want to fight and die for the sake of Allah‚ I just want to die and have all my problems go away‚"; he allegedly wrote to the informant. ";I have motivation for nothing but fighting ... like some time of insatiable bloodlust for the life juice of these idolators; a craving for mayhem and murder to terrorize those around me. I need some better weapons than knives‚"; read a second message allegedly sent on March 21. He said that his plan was to storm each church‚ ";kill as many people as possible‚"; burn down the building‚ and then move on to the next church. Mercurio was arrested in Coeur dAlene and charged with providing material support and resources to ISIS. He could face up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted. Among the evidence amassed by the FBI is the image of Mercurio posing in front of an ISIS flag while making a gesture known to be used by terrorists. They were also able to recover the flag from his possessions. ";The Justice Department will continue to relentlessly pursue‚ disrupt‚ and hold accountable those who would commit acts of terrorism against the people and interests of the United States‚"; added Merrick in his statement. ISIS recently took responsibility for a horrendous attack at the Crocus Concert Hall in Moscow‚ where militants gunned down 145 people and injured hundreds more.

Son arrested after his elderly mother is found fused to her bed and surrounded by feces and maggots‚ Pennsylvania police say

Pennsylvania police arrested a man after finding that his elderly mother had been horrendously neglected in a residence in Upper Chichester Township.Police said they were called to the residence on Dresner Circle on Sunday by a neighbor who said they had not seen the woman for months and had noted that packages were beginning to stack up outside the door.When police performed the welfare check‚ no one answered the door. They saw the presence of flies and trash inside the home and forced entry out of fear that someone might be inside with a medical emergency.Once they gained entry‚ they encountered 51-year-old Daniel Klein inside as well as a strong odor coming from the home.Police asked Klein to allow them to check in on his mother‚ and they found her unconscious under a soiled blanket in the master bedroom of the home. Medics called to the home by police found maggots and dried feces when they removed the blanket from Klein';s mother. They also said that the woman was fused to the bed and she had what police referred to as ";ram';s horn toenails‚"; another indicator of neglect.WPVI-TV reported that the scene was so horrific that at least one officer wore a hazmat suit to investigate. Police said Klein allegedly told them that he was the sole caretaker of his mother. He added that she had been bedridden for weeks‚ but police suspected that it could have been months.Klein was arrested and charged with abusing a dependent person and reckless endangermentThe woman was transported to Crozer Chester Medical Center in critical condition. Klein was being held on bail of $50‚000.";This is one of the worst cases I';ve seen in my four years as district attorney here‚"; Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said. ";And for this person‚ the defendant Klein‚ to do this to his own mother‚ it';s just... I can';t even imagine.";A similar incident was reported in Louisiana in 2022 when a couple was arrested after authorities found Lacey Fletcher‚ their severely autistic daughter‚ fused to a couch after being neglected for a decade. The two later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were each sentenced to 40 years in prison‚ but 20 years were suspended. Here';s more about the alarming arrest: Like Blaze News?

Wireless Power Transmission Could Enable Exploration of the Far Side of the Moon

How can future lunar exploration communicate from the far side of the Moon despite never being inline with the Earth? This is what a recent study submitted to Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics hopes to address as a pair of researchers from the IEEE Polytechnique Montral investigated the potential for a wireless power transmission method (WPT) comprised of anywhere from one to three satellites located at Earth-Moon Lagrange Point 2 (EMLP-2) and a solar-powered receiver on the far side of the Moon. This study holds the potential to help scientists and future lunar astronauts maintain constant communication between the Earth and Moon since the lunar far side of the Moon is always facing away from Earth from the Moons rotation being almost entirely synced with its orbit around the Earth.Here‚ Universe Today discusses this research with Dr. Gunes Karabulut Kurt‚ who is an associate professor at IEEE Polytechnique Montral and the studys co-author‚ regarding the motivation behind the study‚ significant results‚ follow-up research‚ and implications for WPT. So‚ what was the motivation behind this study?This research is motivated by the objective of overcoming the logistical and technical challenges associated with using traditional cables on the Moons surface‚ Dr. Kurt tells Universe Today. Laying cables on the Moons rough‚ dusty surface would lead to ongoing maintenance and wear problems‚ as lunar dust is highly abrasive. On the other hand‚ transporting large quantities of cables to the Moon requires a significant amount of fuel‚ which adds considerably to the missions costs.For the study‚ the researchers used a myriad of calculations and computer models to ascertain if one‚ two‚ or three satellites are sufficient within an EMLP-2 halo orbit to maintain both constant coverage of the lunar far side (LFS) and line of sight with the Earth. For context‚ EMLP-2 is located on the far side of the Moon with the halo orbit being perpendicularor sidewaysto the Moons orbit. The calculations involved in the study included the distances between each satellite‚ the antenna angles between the satellites and surface receiver‚ the amount of LFS surface coverage‚ and the amount of transmitted power between the satellites and LFS surface antennae. So‚ what were the most significant results from this study?Dr. Kurt tells Universe Today their models concluded that three satellites in an EMLP-2 halo orbit and operating at equal distances from each other could achieve continuous power beaming to a receiver optical antenna anywhere on the lunar far side while maintaining 100 percent LFS coverage and line of sight with the Earth. Aside triple satellite scheme that provides continuous LFS full coverage‚ even a two-satellite configuration provides full coverage during 88.60% of a full cycle around the EMLP-2 halo orbit‚ Dr. Kurt adds.Schematic from Figure 1 of the study displaying the wireless power transmission and receiver on the lunar far side with three satellites (SPS-1‚ SPS-2‚ and SPS-3) in a halo orbit at the Earth-Moon Lagrange Point 2. (Credit: Donmez &;amp; Kurt (2024))Regarding follow-up research‚ Dr. Kurt tells Universe Today‚ Our future studies will focus on more complex harvesting and transmission models to get closer to reality. On the other hand‚ an approach that takes into account the irregular nature of lunar dust and the variation in its density due to environmental factors such as subsolar angle and others. In the future‚ if research in this field continues‚ explore this experimentally with lunar dust simulants and lasers.This study comes as NASA is preparing to send astronauts to the Moon for the first time since 1972 with the Artemis program‚ whose goal will be to land the first woman and person of color on the lunar surface. With the success of the Artemis 1 mission in November 2022 that consisted of an uncrewed Orion capsule orbiting the Moon‚ NASA is currently targeting September 2025 for their Artemis 2 mission‚ which is scheduled to be a 10-day‚ 4-person crewed mission using the Orion capsule for a lunar flyby‚ whose goal will be to conduct a full systems checkout of the Orion capsule. Therefore‚ what implications can this study have for the upcoming Artemis missions‚ or any future human exploration of the Moon?The findings have implications for the design of energy transmission systems on the Moon‚ Dr. Kurt tells Universe Today. A better understanding of the wireless transmission disruptors such as lunar dust can lead to the development of more efficient and reliable systems for powering lunar missions and infrastructure‚ including those related to the Artemis program and future human exploration efforts.If successful‚ Artemis 2 will be followed by Artemis 3 in September 2026‚ which will also consist of a 4-person crew with two crew members landing on the lunar surface and an approximate mission duration of 30 days. This will be followed by Artemis 4‚ Artemis 5‚ and Artemis 6‚ which are currently scheduled for September 2028‚ September 2029‚ and September 2030‚ respectively‚ with each mission increasing in both the number of astronauts landing on the lunar surface along with anticipated deliveries of lunar habitat modules and lunar rovers‚ as well.Moreover‚ the Artemis mission is targeting the lunar south pole for its landing sites‚ Dr. Kurt tells Universe Today. This region is of particular interest due to the presence of peaks of eternal light (PELs)‚ which receive almost continuous sunlight and permanently shadowed regions (PSRs)‚ which are potential sites for resources such as water ice. These contrasting conditions are ideal for the application of wireless energy transmission (laser power beaming technology)‚ which could provide a continuous power supply in shadowed areas by transmitting energy wirelessly from illuminated regions.The reason these PSRs exist is due to the Moons low obliquity‚ or axial tilt‚ which the study notes is 6.68 degrees. For context‚ the Earths obliquity is 23.44 degrees. This means there are areas‚ and specifically craters‚ at both the north and south poles on the Moon that do not receive any sunlight‚ hence the name permanently shadowed regions. As noted by Dr. Kurt‚ these PSRs could be home to deposits of water ice within these deep‚ dark craters that astronauts could use for water‚ fuel‚ and other needs.The Artemis missions plan to deliver not only astronauts to the lunar surface‚ but a habitat and lunar rovers with the goal of establishing a permanent human presence on the Moon. This will provide opportunities for demonstrating new space technologies that can be used for both lunar exploration and future human missions to Mars‚ which are a part of NASAs Moon to Mars Architecture.Current missions plan to re-use Earth-proven technology‚ Dr. Kurt tells Universe Today. This mindset may undermine the blue-sky design approach‚ where researchers are encouraged to think freely‚ explore creative ideas‚ and push the boundaries of whats possible without being confined by constraints such as specific project requirements or backward compatibility. In our work we aim to include multi-functionality aspects‚ which are not a necessity for terrestrial applications but may turn out to be essential for future space missions.How will this wireless power transmission method help improve communication from the far side of the Moon to Earth in the coming years and decades? Only time will tell‚ and this is why we science!As always‚ keep doing science &;amp; keep looking up!The post Wireless Power Transmission Could Enable Exploration of the Far Side of the Moon appeared first on Universe Today.
