More Indian Military personnel and local natives are coming forward in Himalayas Tarai area (Indian side) and are reporting extremely unusual activities with many UFO sightings all around the day. Some Helicopter pilots are complaining about sophisticated jamming. A young boy in Nepal drew a picture of what seems to be a Extra terrestrial Flying Object. He saw it with many friends while playing in the ground. The boys report that these vehicles have no sound, can take off vertically and can float without effect of gravity. These vehicles can also disappear all on a sudden. Some of Indian Air Force pilots are secretly reporting seeing strange flying objects near Himalayas around the Chinese border. A Tibetian monk recently in India said that these activities are going on since 1998 Indian Nuke test and the number is growing every day.

According some scientists of Indian Geological Survey, UFOs and strange beings are visiting a specific 100 square kilometers regularly since last eighteen months. North of Himachal Pradesh is experiencing very specific sightings. Among the local people there is a rumor that “they” will land somewhere there in the next seven years. Some UFO researchers say that beings from K-9 constellation will land on the earth and expose themselves finally in 2012. Is this then the final preparation of landing that even Mayans predicted thousands of years back?

One thing for sure, some one has told Indian Government and the military to stay tight lipped. The military personnel are talking privately and keep saying that for national security reasons nothing more can be said. But at least one of them has come out and said it is definitely UFO.

There are every indication that some landing base is being built under the hard rocks of Himalayas. The area chosen is tough terrain and is in no man’s land buffering between India and China.

Another interesting thing is also happening. Around this area extremely increased Indian and Chinese army activities are seen. It is so active that in any other times one could have said that India and China is going on war at that spot.

Does India and China know something that they are not talking about?

Recently an artificial lake was created in China very close to Indian border. The lake threatened massive flood on the Indian side. India and China both refused to inspect the area properly. And all on a sudden local Chine-Indian people report the lake is no longer there. Whatever residue of the lake is there is there is no longer a threat to Indian villages. What really happened? What caused an artificial lake of that size and who took care of fixing it?

Chinese officials are perplexed at this happening. But India was never worried. Neither was China worried about the flood. Why?

People in that area are reporting that large and small UFOs are being seen all the time. Chinese and Indian military is telling people that these are spy vehicles.

Why should spy vehicles appear all on a sudden? Why should Indian local people start seeing UFOs near the Himalayas all the time? Why are these vehicles disappearing so fast?

Some in Indian Space Research Organization secretly are saying that these UFOs are definitely planning and building a solid landing site with the help of Indian and Chinese Government. Time will say what the real story is!

Two new planets outside our solar system discovered - Hottest ever found

Astronomers have discovered two new planets outside our solar system, both extremely close to their stars and thus among the hottest ever found.
A University of Florida astronomer is among more than three dozen astronomers who found the new large planets, announced today at the Transiting Extrasolar Planets Workshop at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany.
Stephen Kane, a UF postdoctoral associate, said he and his colleagues pinpointed the planets by detecting the slight dimming of starlight that occurs when the planets pass in front of their stars. Of about 200 planets discovered so far, the new planets are only the 13th and 14th to be found using this technique, called the transit method. But that’s likely to change quickly as the United Kingdom-based effort to discover planets with the transit method gathers steam, Kane said.
“We can expect these two planets to be the first in a wave of a whole lot of these new types of planets,” he said.
Known as “Hot Jupiters” because of their Jupiter-like size and temperature, the new planets are so close to their stars that they complete their orbit in a mere two and two-and-one-half days, respectively. That compares to 88 days for Mercury, the planet with the fastest orbit nearest the sun in our solar system. The very close orbit also means that the new planets are hotter than Mercury, which has a surface temperature of 752 degrees Fahrenheit. The planets are estimated to have a temperature of at least 3,272 degrees.
There is also evidence that the solar radiation from the stars is so intense that it is whipping away their atmospheres. “Hot Jupiters are assumed to have a significantly reduced lifetime due to their proximity to the star,” Kane said.
Most planets outside our solar system have been found using the radial velocity method, which measures the gravitational wobble in the star induced by the orbiting planet. The transit method would seem at first to be impractical because it requires a lucky break: The orbital plane of the planets under observation must be aligned toward Earth so astronomers can see the starlight dim as the planets pass.
The astronomers who discovered the two new planets dealt with this complication through, in Kane’s words, “brute force.” The astronomers surveyed millions of stars using twin telescopes snapping photos of the southern and northern skies from La Palma in Spain’s Canary Islands and Sutherland, South Africa. Each telescope is equipped with eight wide-angle cameras, each of which has a field of view of eight degrees, which comprises a relatively large chunk of the sky. By comparison, the full moon comprises about half a degree.
The work was done through UK’s leading planet detection program, a consortium of eight universities called SuperWASP, or Wide Angle Search for Planets.
Kane’s role in the research was to help pick out from the vast numbers of photographed stars the most likely candidates for further investigation. The job was a difficult one because planets passing in front of stars only slightly diminish the starlight, dimming it by only about 1 percent for just a few hours. Kane also led the research on the prototype for SuperWASP, and has worked on both SuperWASP telescopes, among other efforts.
“We have computer programs which are able to search all of these light curves from the stars and see if there’s something in them which looks like the star has become fainter for a short period, but it’s a complicated task,” Kane said.
After SuperWASP identified the tiny dips in starlight caused when the planets passed in front of their stars, a French-built instrument detected a slight wobble in each star’s motion as the planets passed around them, confirming the existence of the planets.
The planets are located in the constellations Andromeda and Delphinius, respectively. The Andromeda planet is more than 1,000 light years away, while the Delphinius planet is 500 light years away.
Both of the new planets are far too hot to support life. But Kane said their discovery adds to growing knowledge about how planets form, which should help astronomers understand and zero in on Earth-like planets.
“Once we understand planet formation, we’ll understand a lot more about how terrestrial planets form as well,” he said.
