A tremendous noise was heard in the sky on October 19, Wednesday, after evening prayers in Saudi Arabia. Then the sighting of an intense, large light followed. It was heading from the west over a region located in the east of Riyadh.
Residents did not think it was a meteor because it didn’t look like it. They said that it was a blue, green shooting out green flashes. A 40-year-old witness, who introduced himself as Khalid, stated that they were baffled as no one has ever seen anything like it.
Before going south toward the Yemeni desert, the UFO changed course multiple times. A rebel shot the UFO using a low altitude surface to air missile system with a passive infrared homing guidance and high explosive warhead. In contrast to the general idea of UFOs, which typically so advanced that any sophisticated weapons on Earth would find a hard time to take them down, this particular UFO was taken down with just a single shot.
The location of the crash site was immediately determined. A Saudi helicopter revealed an aerial photograph along with the story and embedded location. The location is a dessert located about 220 miles north and slightly east of Al Mukalla. However, it is not determined on what happen to the alien in the photo.
No report about the incident in the west, but it was witnessed as far as Kuwait. Residents in the region where the object was reportedly heading claimed they heard an explosion and felt a tremor as if something had crashed.
The Saudi government has allegedly sealed the area, which borders Yemen, but has not released information regarding the alleged crash site. Houthi rebels have been in rebellion against the Yemen government that started in 2015. Rebel sources claimed one of their men fired at the UFO using a shoulder type 9K-32 Strelka and brought down the unknown aerial thing.This story was published at smobserved.com

Many of the world’s richest and most powerful people, including Elon Musk and Bank of America, think that we live in a simulation of the real world.
Some of the world’s richest and most powerful people are convinced that we are living in a computer simulation. And now they’re trying to do something about it.At least two of Silicon Valley’s tech billionaires are pouring money into efforts to break humans out of the simulation that they believe that it is living in, according to a new report.
Philosophers have long been concerned about how we can know that our world isn’t just a very believable simulation of a real one. But concern about that has become ever more active in recent years, as computers and artificial intelligence have advanced.
That has led some tech billionaires to speculate that the chances we are not living in such a simulation is “billions to one”. Even Bank of America analysts wrote last month that the chances we are living in a Matrix-style fictional world is as high as 50 per cent.
And now at least two billionaires are funding scientists in an effort to try and break us out of that simulation. It isn’t clear what form that work is taking.
“Many people in Silicon Valley have become obsessed with the simulation hypothesis, the argument that what we experience as reality is in fact fabricated in a computer,” writes The New Yorker’s Tad Friend. “Two tech billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage scientists to work on breaking us out of the simulation.”
The detail came from a New Yorker profile of Sam Altman, who runs Y Combinator which helps develop tech companies.
Mr Friend didn’t indicate whether Mr Altman was one of those two, or who those people might be. A number of prominent tech billionaires have discussed the idea of the simulation – including Elon Musk, who has used his fortune to fund potentially odd efforts in the past.
Mr Musk spoke earlier this year about the fact that he believes that the chance that we are not living in a computer simulation is “one in billions”. He said that he had come to that conclusion after a chat in a hot tub, where it was pointed out that computing technology has advanced so quickly that at some point in the future it will become indistinguishable from real life – and, if it does, there’s no reason to think that it hasn’t done already and that that’s what we are currently living through.
If we aren’t actually living through a simulation, Mr Musk said, then all human life is probably about to come to an end and so we should hope that we are living in one. “Otherwise, if civilisation stops advancing, then that may be due to some calamitous event that stops civilisation,” he said at the Recode conference.
Mr Altman seemed to echo that fear and told the New Yorker that he was concerned about the way that the devices that surround us might lead to the extinction of all consciousness in the universe. He spoke about how the best scenario for dealing with that is a “merge” – when our brains and computers become one, perhaps by having our brains uploaded into the cloud.
“These phones already control us,” he said. “The merge has begun – and a merge is our best scenario. Any version without a merge will have conflict: we enslave the A.I. or it enslaves us.
“The full-on-crazy version of the merge is we get our brains uploaded into the cloud. I’d love that. We need to level up humans, because our descendants will either conquer the galaxy or extinguish consciousness in the universe forever. What a time to be alive!”
These six Nikola Tesla quotes show a visionary scientist who thought in terms of energy vibration and intuition when trying to understand the universe.
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, engineer, and physicist. He was best known for developing the alternating current circuit, a technology we still rely on today. However, Tesla has some even bigger ideas, conceiving such technologies as the electric motor, remote controls, hydroelectric power, and lasers.
As the following Nikola Tesla quotes show, he also had a unique way of thinking about the world. Despite his scientific background, Tesla believed in an energetic universe and the power of intuition. The six Nikola Tesla quotes that could change the way you perceive the world
hese quotes show that he had a very different take on the world from the scientists, technologists, and businessmen of his time.
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
This quote shows that he was ahead of his time in truly understanding the nature of the universe. In an age when much of the scientific community believed only material things existed, Tesla had some very different ideas. He understood that the universe, rather than being made up of solid objects, was actually a mass of energy vibrating at different frequencies.
“If your hate could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world.”
Tesla always had an affinity with electricity. Perhaps this was because he was born during a lightning storm. According to family legend, the midwife considered this a bad omen. She declared that the newborn would be a child of darkness. His mother replied “No. He will be a child of light.” I think that the quote above suggests that his mother was right.
Tesla clearly understood the energy of hate, too. This quote will resonate with those of us that believe that hate and love affect the universe as a whole. This powerful analogy shows the strength of hate. But Tesla knew that negative emotions would never power a peaceful world as we can see from the quotes later in this article.
This is one of my favorite Nikola Tesla quotes:
“What one man calls God, another calls the laws of physics.”
In a world where there seems to be such a split between spirituality and science, Tesla implies that these are just different terms for the same thing. Universal energy fuels our universe and as he says, some people call this God, others call it universal energy, spirit, mother nature, or just the laws of physics. He shows that we don’t have to choose between being rational believers in science or spiritual believers in the divine – they are one and the same.
“My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration.”
This quote also resonates with those of us that consider ourselves spiritual seekers today. Tesla indicates that he believed in some kind of source energy that we can all tap into. Many of us have experienced what he describes as being a receiver, whether in meditation or during times of creative flow.
“But instinct is something which transcends knowledge. We have, undoubtedly, certain finer fibers that enable us to perceive truths when logical deduction, or any other willful effort of the brain, is futile.”
In this quote, Tesla shows how he believed in more than just logical thinking. He is not the first scientist to say how intuition and imagination can help us have transformational ideas. Albert Einstein famously used thought experiments to test out his ideas. If intuition and imagination worked for geniuses like Einstein and Tesla, maybe we should learn to use more than just our logical rational minds, too.
And finally, his most inspiring quote of all:
“What we now want is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and communities all over the earth, and the elimination of egoism and pride which is always prone to plunge the world into primeval barbarism and strife… Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment…”
This is one of the most inspiring Nikola Tesla quotes of all. He understood that the ego gets in the way of humankind’s development. Egotistical fighting for superiority will never allow us to achieve the things we could achieve if we combined our resources and skills. To create peace and harmony on our beautiful planet, we need to work together in love rather than egotistical competition and fighting for resources.
Nikola Tesla’s life
Unfortunately, Tesla didn’t get to see many of his ideas come to fruition. Much like Michelangelo, he was a visionary inventor ahead of his time. He never achieved the fame, fortune or credit he deserved during his lifetime. By listening to this visionary thinker, we could have been enjoying transformational technologies like hydroelectric power and electric cars for years by now.
Being inspired by Tesla in the future
It is never too late to be inspired by the great geniuses of the past.If we follow Tesla’s ideas of working together without egotism and pride and using our imagination and intuition to come up with new ideas, then perhaps we can achieve all that he envisioned and more. Above all, perhaps we should follow his example of understanding the energetic nature of the universe. Whether we call it physics or God, we can harness this power for the good of all.
Wikileaks UFO Conspiracy, Is the United States at War with Extraterrestrials in Antarctica, Has the Government always known about the presence of alien life on earth, have they been in contact with them, or in a dispute.Will they ever really tell us, probably not, Wikileaks truth.
For many years, claims about secret Nazi military and research bases located in the harsh terrains of the Arctic and Antarctica were dismissed as fantasy. In fact, these claims were seen as so ridiculous that when a Russian expedition team from the Russian Arctic National Park claimed that they had discovered one of these bases on the island of Alexandra (approximately a thousand kilometers from the North Pole) they were largely ignored.
MYSTERY NAZI BASE DISCOVERED IN THE ARCTIC
However, there can no longer be any doubt that these secret bases really did exist as the Russian team who came across the base have released video evidence of over five hundred differently artifacts uncovered from the Nazi bunker. The ruins of the base itself as well as materials and paper documents can be seen to be fairly well preserved because of the intensely cold conditions that they were kept in. The Russian team says that the base was referred to as ‘Treasure Hunter’ and it was built in 1942, just one year before the Nazis launched an assault in Russia. It is believed that the base was not used for a particularly long period and that it had to be evacuated of all personnel in 1944 after an illness broke out. It is believed that the disease was caused by personnel members eating contaminated polar bear meat. Mysteriously, in 1950 – several years after the end of the Second World War and the fall of the Third Reich, someone returned to the base and destroyed it. Who could have done this and why is still a complete mystery to investigators.
The team is not entirely sure what the purpose of this secret Arctic base could have been for the Nazis, but they have some avenues to pursue. It is known that the Nazis were particularly interested in archaeology which they often used to sustain their ideology of Aryan supremacy, so it is possible that they were looking for evidence of a lost Aryan civilization in the Arctic. More bizarrely, the Nazis were also interested in occult or holy items that they believed would grant them power – including the highly mythologised Holy Grail. Could it be that this is what they were seeking under the ice? Or could it be that they were looking for evidence of hidden ancient technologies in the Arctic region? All of these theories are plausible in light of the Nazis’ other wartime expedition activities.
It’s no secret that Mark Zuckerberg is pinning Facebook’s future prospects on augmented reality — technology that overlays digital imagery onto the real world, like Snapchat’s signature camera filters.
At this year’s F8 conference, taking place this week, Zuckerberg doubled down on the company’s ambitious 10-year master plan, which was first revealed in 2016. On this timeline, Facebook expects to turn artificial intelligence, ubiquitous internet connectivity, and virtual and augmented reality into viable parts of its business over the next decade.

The Facebook 10-year roadmap, first revealed in April 2016.
And to accelerate the rise of augmented reality, a big part of the plan, Zuckerberg unveiled the Camera Effects platform; basically a set of tools for outside developers to build their own augmented reality apps that you can access from the existing Facebook app’s camera, theoretically opening the door for Facebook to host the next “Pokémon Go” phenomenon.

Mark Zuckerberg shows off the Facebook Camera Effects platform, which lets developers make their own augmented reality apps, like this Nike app that lets you share your run times with friends.
And while this announcement seems pretty innocuous, make no mistake: Facebook is, once again, putting itself into direct competition with Google and Apple, trying to create yet another parallel universe of apps and tools that don’t rely on the smartphones’ own marketplaces. As The New York Times notes, Zuckerberg has long been disappointed that it never built a credible smartphone operating system of its own.
This time, though, Facebook is also declaring war on pretty much everyone else in the tech industry, too. While it’ll take at least a decade to fully play out, the stuff Facebook is talking about today is just one more milestone on the slow march towards the death of the smartphone, and the rise of even weirder and wilder futures.
Why buy a TV?
Zuckerberg tipped his hand, just a little bit, during Tuesday’s Facebook F8 keynote. During a demo of the company’s eventual vision for augmented reality, in the form of a pair of easy-to-wear, standard-looking glasses, he showed how you could have a virtual “screen” sitting in your living room, bigger than your biggest TV.
“We don’t need a physical TV. We can buy a $1 app ‘TV’ and put it on the wall and watch it,” Zuckerberg told USA Today ahead of his keynote. “It’s actually pretty amazing when you think about how much of the physical stuff we have doesn’t need to be physical.”
Facebook
Mark Zuckerberg says the eventual goal is to release glasses, like these, that can project virtual objects like chessboards or even TVs into your vision.
Which makes sense, assuming you’re into the idea of wearing a computer on your face (and you’re okay with Facebook intermediating everything you see and hear, glitches and all).
But it’s not just TVs. This same philosophy could extend to smartphones, smartwatches, tablets, fitness trackers, or basically anything else that has a screen, or that relies on a screen, to work. Zuckerberg even showed off a street art installation that’s just a blank wall until you wave the Facebook camera app over it, revealing a mural.
For Microsoft, which already dipped its toe in the area with the HoloLens holographic goggles, this is a foregone conclusion. HoloLens boss Alex Kipman recently called the demise of the smartphone the “natural conclusion” of augmented reality and its associated technologies.
War of the worlds
The problem, naturally, is that a huge chunk of the world’s economy hinges on the production of phones, and TVs, and tablets, and all of those other things that Facebook thinks could be replaced with this technology.
Again, even Zuckerberg acknowledges that it’s a long road ahead. That said, this Camera Effects platform, should it succeed in attracting a bunch of users, will go down as a savvy move. The apps that get built for the Facebook Camera today are going to wind up as the very first versions of the apps you’ll use with those eventual glasses.
Microsoft
Microsoft’s futuristic HoloLens goggles provides an early look into Facebook’s eventual goal.
In the short term, Facebook’s play for augmented reality is going to look a lot like competition with Snapchat, which, in a very meaningful way, it is. Facebook needs developer and user love, and so needs to keep offering fun and funny tools to keep people from moving away from using its apps.
In the long term, though, this is really Facebook versus everybody, ushering in an age of a brand new kind of computing. And pretty much every tech company out there is going to get caught in the crossfire, as Apple, Google, Microsoft, and more rush out their own responses to this extremely existential, but still meaningful, threat.
