Fixing the Navy will take far more than money

While plans have been announced to increase the US Naval fleet to 350 ships, it will take a lot more than money to fix what's wrong with our current Navy. As it stands now, almost 2/3rds of Navy F-18s are grounded, as many as six submarines are facing decertification, maintenance is being canceled on ships, or is running long when it's done.

As bad as that is, there's a far bigger problem with the Navy. Ethics. The problem is being seen in all services, but in the last 20 years, the Navy has taken its increasing lack of ethics to staggering new heights.

One only has to see how many commanders have been relieved in recent years to see something is going on. But then the 7th Fleet, and Naval Surface Warfare Medical Institute cheating scandal truly drove home how bad the situation has become.

During the cheating scandal, 31 students were kicked out of the school, 13 were discharged, and two leaders were fired. Investigators uncovered text messages between students involved talking about corrupting students not involved, to prevent them from blowing the whistle.

Until the Navy fixes their ethics problems fixing the fleet is like putting a band aid on a gunshot wound.

Report shows US in danger of falling behind in hypersonics

Four years ago, the US was on the brink of developing a new family of hypersonic weapons, based on the X-51A. Now, a classified report has come out that states the US is in very real danger of falling farther and farther behind in the quest for hypersonic weapons systems. Both Russia and China have tested new hypersonic vehicles, multiple times, and have others under development. Meanwhile the US doesn't plan to fly another vehicle until 2019, if it stays on schedule, and doesn't plan full rate development until the 2030 timeframe.

Less than four years ago, it seemed that the U.S. Air Force was on the brink of developing the first generation of air-breathing high-speed strike weapons following the success of the experimental scramjet-powered Boeing X-51A. Now a classified report warns that the U.S. may be losing its lead in hypersonics to China and Russia.

Although parallel research on hypersonic glide vehicles under DARPA’s HTV-2 program suffered failures in 2010 and 2011, the Air Force by 2013 appeared enthusiastic about weaponizing the maturing air-breathing technology demonstrated in the X-51A flight tests. After more than five decades of development and testing in high-speed flight, the U.S. finally looked set to become the undisputed leader in hypersonics.

US Marines sent to explore Ancient Pyramids discovered in Antarctica !!!

April 25 2017

April 2017 - Antarctica, Canadian area. Leaked videos shows US Marines deplyed in Antarctica to explore ancient pyramids discovered by US and european researchers in 2012.
Watch the VIDEO HERE !

Three ancient pyramids have been discovered in the Antarctic in 2014  by a team of American and European scientists.
The only reliable information provided by the scientists was that they were planning an expedition to the pyramids to research them more thoroughly and determine for sure whether the structures were artificial or natural. No details about the time frame of the expedition were offered. But today we believe that US authorities lost contact with the expedition. That would explain the use of military power in Antarctica...

What is hiding in the ancient pyramids of Antarctica ? Who built them ? What is their secret ?
Can it be possible that Antarctica was once warm enough in the recent past to actually have had an ancient civilization living there? And even more perplexing is the question of if an advanced culture did develop there, are there any structures still remaining that are buried underneath the ice ?
The shocking discovery of ancient man-made pyramids under the thick ice and snow of Antarctica would change our perception of human history forever.
Scholars and Egyptologists have long suspected that the Sphynx is far older than first estimated, possibly over 10,000 years old.Scientists discovered that evidence of water erosion on the ancient statue, still the world’s largest, tells a story of climate change from rainy hot jungle to desert in afew thousand short years.
If the climate in Egypt changed this quickly, is it not equally possible that the Antarctic climate could have also changed drastically in the same time?Legends speak of pyramids in the Antarctica, of the lost city of Atlantis being covered not just under water, but encased in ice.

New Antarctica Pyramid location of spaceship station

From a pyramid created by a lost civilisation to a staircase built by aliens, Antarctica has been a hotspot for sightings by UFO hunters in recent months.

Now, in their latest bizarre claim, alien enthusiasts claim they have spotted ET's ship hidden in a cave in the South Pole. 

Their 'discovery', made from what they claim are Google Earth satellite images, was described as 'final proof of secret technology' on Antarctica.

From a pyramid created by a lost civilisation to a staircase built by aliens, Antarctica has been a hotspot for sightings by UFO hunters. Now, in their latest bizarre claim, alien enthusiasts claim they have spotted ET's ship hidden in a cave in the South Pole

The claim has been made by a YouTube channel called Secure Team based in Cleveland, Ohio. 

They zoomed in on a mountainous region of the South Pole and found what they believe to to be a disc in a cave.

'This is a bombshell discovery and one of the most obvious unnatural and anomalous structures we have found at the South Pole,' Secure Team said. 

This follows another claim earlier this month that there is a giant staircase in Antarctica.

The 'discovery', made from what they claim are Google Earth satellite images, was described as 'final proof of secret technology' on Antarctica.

An image has surfaced which is alleged  to be a satellite image of the Antarctic, and believers in extra-terrestrial life claim it could prove aliens are visiting Earth.

The picture was posted on a UFO and conspiracy theory forum. 

The image was posted online by an anonymous member on the forum Godlike Productions, along with a message.

'This morning, in the work van, we were talking about conspiracies, and one of them were about so many big names going to Antarctica out of the blue,' the message read.

'I was bored so I pulled out Google Earth for a while, just exploring, when I came across something that looked like a giant staircase.

'Anyone have an idea what it is? Just a glitch with satellite cameras? Or something more?' 

Others offered more logical explanations, like an anomaly with the lens or snow dunes. 

The latest in a series of bizarre claims by conspiracy theorists says there is a giant staircase in Antarctica. An image has surfaced which is alleged to be a satellite image of the Antarctic, and believers in extra-terrestrial life claim it could prove aliens are visiting Earth

Some doubted the origin of the image, which the poster claimed was from Google Earth, because the user did not provide co-ordinates

A YouTube channel called SecureTeam10 found the co-ordinates of the image (pictured)

Another image of a 'dome' in Antarctica sparked claims there was once a civilisation living in the frozen continent.

The picture, which was said to be from Google Earth, showed an oval-shaped structure that is believed be 400 foot (121 metres) across.

Some claimed the structure is 'evidence' that a human civilisation once lived in the South Pole, while others said it may be a natural phenomenon.

'What if, in the distant past, when Earth –and Antarctica— was much different then today, an ancient civilization developed there, creating fascinating structures, monuments and temples there?' a post on Ancient Code says.

The post says scientists initially thought the discovery could be a sastrugi – a natural phenomenon formed by years of battering by strong, freezing winds and heavy snowfalll.

Another strange theory surfaced last year, claiming that there is a mysterious pyramid in the Antarctic had emerged.

Conspiracy theorists have posted a video on YouTube, in which they claim that US Secretary of State, John Kerry, visited Antarctica last week to visit an 'alien base' within the pyramid.

The video suggests that the images have been taken from Google Earth, but it is unclear whether they have been edited.

The video was posted by Third Phase of the Moon, a YouTube channel that regularly posts conspiracy theories on aliens.

It showed a pyramid-like structure in the snow, with a Google Earth-type label and pin.

The label reads 'Antartica Pyramid' – a misspelling of Antarctica, which suggests that image might have been doctored.

Responses to the video were varied, with some users backing-up the claims, such as James Jason, who commented: 'Excellent report Third Phase, I also believe things are about to get very dramatic, and that is for everyone on our planet.'

But others dismissed it, such as Gordon Anderson, who said: 'I have spent a LOT of time on snow covered mountains- skiing down, and this looks natural to me - not man made anyway!'

Others joked John Kerry was there for other reasons, such as Daniel Schultz, who commented: '#27 on his bucket list, fly to Antarctica and make 'snow angels' where no man has gone before.'

It is unclear what the structure could be, but it looks similar to a nunatak – a natural mountain peak that juts up above glaciers.

Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, told MailOnline: 'Pictures of the pyramid structures are either photoshopped, cropped pictures to make the mountains look more like pyramids or simply pictures of natural formations called nunataks. 

'They are mountainous formations created by shifting glaciers and erosion, not by laser zapping aliens.' 

Pyramids are often an area of interest for conspiracy theorists.

In October last year, a video posted on YouTube claimed there was a crystal pyramid beneath the Bermuda Triangle, which was to blame for the disappearance of several planes and ships in the area.

Mr Watson added: 'There is always a mystique about pyramid structures.

'Back in the 1970s there were many claims that such objects could preserve food, generate health benefits and even keep razors sharp.'

Scientists Claim To Have Found 234 Alien Civilizations

Aliens are like buses, you spend ages waiting for one and then 234 come along at once. Or at least, that’s what two astronomers from the Laval University in Quebec are suggesting. Ermanno Borra and his graduate student Eric Trottier have analyzed over 2.5 million stars and galaxies for pulses of light emitted at regular intervals and discovered it in 234 stars similar in size to our Sun. The team believes that alien civilizations are behind those signals. The researchers looked at the Fourier Transform (FT) of the light spectrum. The FT is a mathematical tool that allows us to work out where the components of a signal come from. If the light is a milkshake, by using the FT you get the recipe. The FT analysis has found periodic modulated components which, according to the scientists, are caused by the super quick light pulses (less than a trillionth of a second) generated by Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI). In the paper, available from the Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, they discard every other explanation such as instrumental effects, rotation of molecules, rapid stellar pulsations, and peculiar chemistry. “We find that the detected signals have exactly the shape of an ETI signal predicted in the previous publication and are therefore in agreement with this hypothesis,” the researchers wrote in the paper. “The fact that they are only found in a very small fraction of stars within a narrow spectral range centered near the spectral type of the Sun is also in agreement with the ETI hypothesis.” These superfast pulses will have to be generated by incredibly powerful lasers, like the one at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Interestingly, in previous publications Borra has stated that this area of astronomy is the least explored, which raises the question on why these aliens would all decide to communicate in such a complicated and energy-consuming way. The researchers admit that although they believe aliens is the most likely explanation, this is yet to be confirmed. The Stephen Hawking-backed project Breakthrough Listen will conduct follow-up observations of these 234 stars, but the team at UC Berkeley, where the project's science program is based, invite people to be skeptical. “The one in 10,000 objects with unusual spectra seen by Borra and Trottier are certainly worthy of additional study. However, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It is too early to unequivocally attribute these purported signals to the activities of extraterrestrial civilizations,” the Breakthrough Listen team said in a statement.
