TIME GATE 2004 NEWS

Novelty Engression's World Service

The Time Gate news is already bustling with novelty, as we edit the astounding material for the 3 upcoming Time Gate 2004 pages (see http://www.akasha.de/~aton/TG2004.html), and prepare our animations for the Time Gate 2004 Key Note apex presentation in Switzerland, the following additional material has been coming in (following this introduction)...

Novelty heralding announcements on 911 have been made by former Los Angeles Police Department Narcotic Chief, Mike Rupert, who cites evidence for direct involvement of the US vice president Ñ and the movie 911: In Plain Sight, which is free to download, and one will never look at the events of 911 the same way again Ñ it is a before and after film.

SETI (the official government Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence agency) is finally getting serious about a signal they first picked up in Time Gate 1998, now in Time Gate 2003 they picked it up again... In Time Gate 2004 it is starting to receive more serious attention.

Likewise, life on Mars is almost a certainty of being announced this September, in Italy, on the Time Gate maximum novelty date, however, whether they will announce the formaldehyde, which means life now (as Dr. Formisano has discovered it, "V. Formisano: PFS Observation of methane Formaldehyde and HS: Extant Life on Mars?"), or whether that will be covered up by just the methane and ammonia, which means life on Mars in the last 400 years, is another question:

"Speculation is that already methane is a rather strong indicator life is probably present today on Mars. Just simply based on methane. ...Formaldehyde is destroyed in the Martian atmosphere within 7.5 hours. There is no way that formaldehyde can exist and remain for a long time in the Martian atmosphere. If (formaldehyde) confirmed, possibly life on Mars today, yes."

—Vittorio Formisano, Ph.D., Physicist, Interplanetary Science

This was before certain discoveries were made. Formisano first forwarded that he would announce the formaldehyde at the Italian INTERNATIONAL MARS CONFERENCE, September 23^rd, 2004. However, that was the contents of his title in their programe before the August 12^th revision of the title, as there appears to be pressure placed on this subject by "someone," who that could be even a baby could guess... Interview with Dr. Formisano by Linda Moultan Howe, is the last news piece, at the end.

It is Time Gate news most certainly... Mars has been the subject of virtually every major Time Gate (in 1996 the Mars life fossil from meteor).

Certainly the Italian conference, heralds a New Dawn of our view on life and its history in this solar system... As our Time Gate series will show, Mars has undergone complete new shaping, involving hyperdimensional transformations similar to those occurring on Saturn (see http://www.akasha.de/~aton/TG2004.html).

We are in the midst of the extraordinary... It is an astounding Aeon to be alive in, unforgettable, and of immense implication... Let us use what is manifesting to bring the cogniscent greatest coherent unity into the focus of everyone, in Golden Via Media.

NEW SCIENTISTS:

Mysterious signals from 1000 light years away

19:00 01 September 04

In February 2003, astronomers involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) pointed the massive radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, at around 200 sections of the sky.

The same telescope had previously detected unexplained radio signals at least twice from each of these regions, and the astronomers were trying to reconfirm the findings. The team has now finished analysing the data, and all the signals seem to have disappeared. Except one, which has got stronger.

This radio signal, now seen on three separate occasions, is an enigma. It could be generated by a previously unknown astronomical phenomenon. Or it could be something much more mundane, maybe an artefact of the telescope itself.

But it also happens to be the best candidate yet for a contact by intelligent aliens in the nearly six-year history of the SETI@home project, which uses programs running as screensavers on millions of personal computers worldwide to sift through signals picked up by the Arecibo telescope.

Absorb and emit

"Its the most interesting signal from SETI@home," says Dan Werthimer, a radio astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) and the chief scientist for SETI@home. "We're not jumping up and down, but we are continuing to observe it."

Named SHGb02+14a, the signal has a frequency of about 1420 megahertz. This happens to be one of the main frequencies at which hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, readily absorbs and emits energy.

Some astronomers have argued that extraterrestrials trying to advertise their presence would be likely to transmit at this frequency, and SETI researchers conventionally scan this part of the radio spectrum.

SHGb02+14a seems to be coming from a point between the constellations Pisces and Aries, where there is no obvious star or planetary system within 1000 light years. And the transmission is very weak.

'We are looking for something that screams out "artificial"', says UCB researcher Eric Korpela, who completed the analysis of the signal in April. "This just doesnt do that, but it could be because it is distant.

Unknown signature

The telescope has only observed the signal for about a minute in total, which is not long enough for astronomers to analyse it thoroughly. But, Korpela thinks it unlikely SHGb02+14a is the result of any obvious radio interference or noise, and it does not bear the signature of any known astronomical object.

That does not mean that only aliens could have produced it. "It may be a natural phenomenon of a previously undreamed-of kind like I stumbled over," says Jocelyn Bell Burnell of the University of Bath, UK.

It was Bell Burnell who in 1967 noticed a pulsed radio signal which the research team at the time thought was from extraterrestrials but which turned out to be the first ever sighting of a pulsar.

There are other oddities. For instance, the signal's frequency is drifting by between eight to 37 hertz per second. "The signal is moving rapidly in frequency and you would expect that to happen if you are looking at a transmitter on a planet that's rotating very rapidly and where the civilisation is not correcting the transmission for the motion of the planet," Korpela says.

This does not, however, convince Paul Horowitz, a Harvard University astronomer who looks for alien signals using optical telescopes. He points out that the SETI@home software corrects for any drift in frequency.

Fishy and puzzling

The fact that the signal continues to drift after this correction is "fishy", he says. "If [the aliens] are so smart, they'll adjust their signal for their planet's motion."

The relatively rapid drift of the signal is also puzzling for other reasons. A planet would have to be rotating nearly 40 times faster than Earth to have produced the observed drift; a transmitter on Earth would produce a signal with a drift of about 1.5 hertz per second.

What is more, if telescopes are observing a signal that is drifting in frequency, then each time they look for it they should most likely encounter it at a slightly different frequency. But in the case of SHGb02+14a, every observation has first been made at 1420 megahertz, before it starts drifting. "It just boggles my mind," Korpela says.

The signal could be an artefact that, for some reason, always appears to be coming from the same point in the sky. The Arecibo telescope has a fixed dish reflector and scans the skies by changing the position of its receiver relative to the dish.

When the receiver reaches a certain position, it might just be able to reflect waves from the ground onto the dish and then back to itself, making it seem as if the signal was coming from space.

"Perhaps there is an object on the ground near the telescope emitting at about this frequency," Korpela says. This could be confirmed by using a different telescope to listen for SHGb02+14a.

Possible fraud

There is also the possibility of fraud by someone hacking the SETI@home software to make it return evidence for an extraterrestrial transmission. However, SHGb02+14a was seen on two different occasions by different SETI@home users, and those calculations were confirmed by others.

Then the signal was seen a third time by the SETI@home researchers. The unusual characteristics of the signal also make it unlikely that someone is playing a prank, Korpela says. "As I can't think of any way to make a signal like this, I can't think of any way to fake it."

David Anderson, director of SETI@home, remains sceptical but curious about the signal. "It's unlikely to be real but we will definitely be re-observing it." Bell Burnell agrees that it is worth persisting with. "If they can see it four, five or six times it really begins to get exciting," she says.

It is already exciting for IT engineers Oliver Voelker of Logpoint in Nuremberg, Germany and Nate Collins of Farin and Associates in Madison, Wisconsin, who found the signal.

Collins wonders how his bosses will react to company computers finding aliens. "I might have to explain a little further about just how much I was using [the computers]," he says.

LOTUS SHAPED "MYSTERY CLOUD" APPEARS OVER EASTERN U.S. AND CANADA

Wednesday, 1 September 2004, 4:28 p.m.

By Joe Rao

SPACE.com's Night Sky Columnist

posted: 01 September 2004

07:44 am ET

Anyone who lives in the eastern part of the United States or Canada and gazing skyward on Tuesday evening may have noticed something strange in their west-northwest sky.

At around 9 p.m. EDT, a small, bright, silvery circular cloud of light suddenly appeared. Over the next 25 minutes, the cloud appeared to gradually expand and fade, finally becoming invisible to the unaided eye. Those who saw it, wondered exactly what it might have been.

John Bortle, a well-known amateur astronomer with over four-decades of experience of sky observing first caught sight of the cloud at 9:03 p.m. EDT from his home in Stormville, New York. Initially, he thought the cloud was as bright as zero or first magnitude and upon examining it carefully with binoculars, thought that it " ... resembled the petals of a day lily." By 9:30 p.m., he reported that the cloud had faded completely from his view.

From the North Fork of Long Island, Bill Bogardus and his wife were out observing when they took note of the cloud " ... about the size of the moon" in the northwest sky. "It was a roundish, yet not all that round, object drifting towards our location very slowly, slower that most satellites because it took at least twenty minutes to move from where we first saw it to pretty much our zenith."

After studying it for a while through an 8-inch telescope, Bogardus noticed two points of light, " ... like a satellite would appear, in line and above a jet of gas that seemed to come from them."

Observing from Ithaca, New York, Joseph Storch used 7x50 binoculars on the cloud and reported a star-like point or nucleus and four butterfly shaped petals radiating outward.

Other reports, received as far west as Toronto tell of people who initially thought that what they were seeing was the moon behind a cloud. Typical was the comment: "For a second I thought it was the moon, then I realized the moon was in the east."

MT. ASAMA IN JAPAN ERUPTS...

Wednesday, 1 September 2004, 10:26 a.m.

Volcano Erupts in Japan; No One Injured

Associated Press

TOKYO - Mount Asama, one of Japan's largest and most active volcanoes, erupted Wednesday night, spewing lava and smoke into the air. No injuries or damage were reported.

Television footage shown by public broadcaster NHK showed a red glow lighting up the night sky from the eruption.

Volcanic rock and ash has spread about a mile from the crater, the Japanese news agency Kyoto reported. Tremors were continuing, the Japan's Meteorological Agency said.

It was not clear how high the smoke rose because of cloud cover, the agency said in an emergency bulletin. It asked residents to pay attention to further volcanic activity and stay away from the crater.

Police in nearby Komoro said they received dozens of phone calls from residents reporting the sound of a large bang, police spokesman Akira Yazawa said.

The Meteorological Agency lifted its activity rating for Mount Asama to 3 from 2, meaning that a small- to medium-sized eruption had occurred.

The 8,474-foot mountain is about six miles from the central Japan resort town of Karuizawa, about 90 miles west of Tokyo. It's also about 30 miles southeast of Nagano, site of the 1998 Winter Olympics.

Mount Asama has had several minor eruptions in recent years. In 1947, 11 mountaineers were killed after being struck by molten rocks on the slope.

The volcano's last major eruption was in 1783.

Japan has 108 active volcanoes. The nation lies in the "Ring of Fire" - a series of volcanoes and fault lines that outline the Pacific Ocean.

Earlier Wednesday, a magnitude-5.8 earthquake was recorded off the coast of Fukushima state - about 155 miles northeast of the eruption. No injuries or damage were reported.

COLLIDING SOLAR ERUPTIONS PACK POWERFUL MAGNETIC PUNCH

COLLIDING SOLAR ERUPTIONS PACK POWERFUL MAGNETIC PUNCH Fast-moving solar eruptions apparently overtake and often devour their slower kin. This discovery was made by a team of astronomers working with tandem NASA spacecraft. Strange radio fireworks were first heard by the team using NASA's Wind spacecraft.

The link to the cosmic collisions came when researchers linked the timing of the radio outbursts to images of solar eruptions consuming each other captured by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). Solar eruptions directed toward Earth are potentially harmful to advanced technology, including communications and power systems, and this cannibalistic behavior may result in longer magnetic storms.

These collisions change the speed of the eruption, which is important for space weather prediction because it alters estimated arrival time of Earthbound coronal ejections.

"Coronal Mass Ejection cannibalism is the most violent form of interaction between CMEs," said Dr. Natchimuthuk Gopalswamy, lead author of a research paper presented today during a meeting of the European Geophysical Society in Nice, France.

"This happens when a slow CME is expelled before a fast one from the same general region on the Sun. The fast CME simply gobbles up the slow CME, resulting in a single CME beyond the region of interaction." Gopalswamy, a research professor with The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC, is stationed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD. He presented the research with his colleagues from Goddard, Catholic University and the Naval Research Laboratory.

"I will name Richard Cheney as the prime suspect in the mass murders of 9/11 and will establish that, not only was he a planner in the attacks, but also that on the day of the attacks he was running a completely separate Command, Control and Communications system which was superceding any orders being issued by the NMCC [National Military Command Center], or the White House Situation Room."

911: In Plain Sight

We became aware of this video only 11 days ago, and since our priority was set on editing the Time Gate New Universe pages ( http://www.akasha.de/~aton/TG2004b.html ), so that we DO have an overview of the larger process of which all present changes sweeping our planet can be viewed in context to Ñ this has been the first chance by which we could forward this on... It along with Mike Rupert's September 1st release (http://www.fromthewilderness.com), is the Quintessence of 911 research in terms of its impact on mankind in the conscious cognosis of what Is... Never again can we look at 911 the same (perhaps only the ET and hyper-D equation therein will have its parallel in its hayday)... The information in this movie, now that it is out, is sure likely to make some people (those involved), desperate, and if we do not integrate such areas, compassionately, and take coherent choice and unity directives as a humanity, otherwise other "shockers", larger alarm clocks, are going to ring... This is a chance in a lifetime, for excellence in Human Integrity... Let the word be known, in compassionate Via Media.

Formaldehyde, Ammonia and Benzene Molecules on Mars?

Would Probably Mean Life

Here are some excerpts

from Home Box Office Emmy award film maker Linda Moulton Howe's excellent website earthmysteries.com

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE AT HOWE'S SITE

"Speculation is that already methane is a rather strong indicator life is probably present today on Mars. Just simply based on methane. ...Formaldehyde is destroyed in the Martian atmosphere within 7.5 hours. There is no way that formaldehyde can exist and remain for a long time in the Martian atmosphere. If (formaldehyde) confirmed, possibly life on Mars today, yes."

ÑVittorio Formisano, Ph.D., Physicist

May 6, 2004 Rome, Italy - Back on March 31, 2004, I reported at Earthfiles.com that methane measurements in the Martian atmosphere are being analyzed by Physicist Vittorio Formisano, Ph.D., Principal Investigator of the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS) which he built and is mounted on the European Space Agency's (ESA) Mars Express Orbiter designed to detect methane and other gaseous molecules. Dr. Formisano is based at the Institute of Physics and Interplanetary Science in Rome, Italy, and has been commuting to ESA offices in Darmstadt, Germany to gather more data from the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer in hopes that he will be able to confirm the location of one or more sources of the Martian methane. In March, he hoped he would be able to make a definitive statement at the European Geophysical Union (EGU) conference on April 26, 2004, in Nice, France.

2004 EGU meeting was held in Nice, France, from April 26-30,

in which Dr. V. A. Krasnopolsky from America's NASA Goddard presented his data

and argument that methane in the Martian atmosphere means life processes are at work today on Mars.

At the EGU meeting, physicist, V. A. Krasnopolsky, formerly from Russia and now working for NASA/Goddard in Greenbelt, Maryland, presented a paper entitled, "Detection of methane in the Martian atmosphere: Evidence for life." Dr. Krasnopolsky has access only to ground-based telescopes on Earth to look for methane, not the highly sensitive PFS that Dr. Formisano is monitoring. However, Dr. Krasnopolsky hypothesized that the amount of methane in the Martian atmosphere indicates continual replenishment from a source that he thinks is more likely to be biological life than periodic volcanic outgassing or meteorite impacts.

Dr. Formisano tends to agree, but he is holding off his announcement, pending more data from his search for other molecules of life such as benzene, ammonia and formaldehyde. He hinted to me this week that such molecules have already been detected and the presence of formaldehyde alone in the Martian atmosphere would mean biological processes at work.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interview:

Vittorio Formisano, Ph.D., Physicist, Principal Investigator of Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS), Methane-detecting spectrometer on Mars Express Orbiter, Institute of Physics and Interplanetary Science, Rome, Italy: "The second half of April, we got very good data, but just recently we got them. With the best of this new data, in the future I will be able to say something about the source of methane.

What I would like to do is first produce a map of methane in the Martian atmosphere and then check if the possible source gives us any hint in terms of volcanic or hydrothermal activity. There is also the search for other molecules that may be indicators of possible biological origin. A few of these are:

-benzene

-ammonia

-formaldehyde

These are biological markers. What I want to do is search for these other molecules, identify them in the PFS data and then eventually try to build an overall picture of what is going on in the Martian atmosphere today. Maybe the picture could be similar to what we had on the Earth 4 billion years ago when there was a biological origin of methane and other strange gases. Let's not forget that even oxygen is produced today by biological origins.

Meaning of Variable Methane Distribution On Mars

and Presence of Benzene, Ammonia and Formaldehyde?

If the methane on Mars were due to OH photochemistry in the Martian atmosphere, then methane should have a life time of 300-400 years and should be uniform throughout the entire atmosphere. But it is not uniform. So there must be a 'sink' of methane somewhere. On Earth there are sinks of methane with OH and oxidation with oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere which are indications of biological activity and can be linked to biological things in the soil.

THIS RELATES TO YOUR STATEMENT TO ME EARLIER, 'BY SEPTEMBER, I WANT TO DEMONSTRATE THERE IS LIFE ON MARS TODAY.'

That is my goal, yes.

WOULD BENZENE AND FORMALDEHYDE BE IN THE MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE IF THERE WAS NO LIFE PROCESSES ON MARS?

The formaldehyde is destroyed in the Martian atmosphere within 7.5 hours. There is no way that formaldehyde can exist and remain for a long time in the Martian atmosphere. I don't know about the benzene, but I know this about formaldehyde.

SO, IF THERE ARE MOLECULES OF FORMALDEHYDE COMING UP IN THE DATA, THAT IS A STRONG INDICATOR THAT SOME KIND OF LIFE PROCESS IS GOING ON ON MARS?

If confirmed, possibly life on Mars today, yes.

NASA/Goddard Scientist Goes On Record: Methane Means Life On Mars

On Tuesday, April 27, 2004, at 8:30 a.m. before the European Geophysical Union meeting in Nice, France, physicist V. A. Krasnopolsky formerly from Russia and now living and working for NASA/Goddard in Maryland, presented a paper entitled, Detection of methane in the Martian atmosphere: Evidence for life.

Vittorio Formisano: "I have exchanged e-mails with Dr. Mumma at NASA/Goddard. And I talked directly with Dr. V. A. Krasnopolsky, who reported methane detection in the European Geophysical Union meeting last week in Nice, France. Krasnopolsky reported at the EGU his detection from ground-based telescopes, very difficult measurements, I would say, of methane essentially the same amount that I have seen on Mars. He has no possibility to study variation over Mars because it is very difficult from Earth to do that sort of measurement.

THEN IS YOUR EXPERIMENT ON THE EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY'S ORBITER THE CLOSEST THAT WE'VE EVER GOTTEN IN TERMS OF SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY TO MEASURE METHANE ON MARS?

Absolutely, yes. I think it is the only one that could detect methane at Mars, because you need high spectral resolution. This was never available in the past.

SO THE DATA YOU ARE RECEIVING NOW AS WE GO INTO MAY OF 2004, SHOULD BE THE MOST ACCURATE, SOLID DATA THAT WE HAVE EVER SEEN FOR METHANE, BENZENE, FORMALDEHYDE AND THOSE KINDS OF MOLECULES IN THE MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE?

Yes, for methane. For the rest, I have not yet identified, so you should separate the methane which is identified and the value ÿ the ratio, the percentage ÿ is well known now. We agree with Dr. Mumma and Dr. Krasnopolsky on the average value of methane in the Martian atmosphere.

About the other molecules, we will see. But certainly, thanks to the spectral resolution sensitivity of the PFS instrument that I have produced, the data we are collecting are the best available to search for other molecules and to give an answer to the question that you were also raising previously.

WHICH IS?

Which is obviously the most important, interesting question: Is life present on Mars today?

WHAT IS YOUR GUESS?

You want me to give an answer now? I prefer to give an answer in September.

.................................................

BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN INSTRUMENT THAT IS ACTUALLY ORBITING MARS, WILL BE THE MOST ACCEPTABLE DATA AND CONCLUSION THAT HAS BEEN DONE IN SCIENCE TO DATE, CORRECT?

Yes.

AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE BEING VERY CAREFUL?

Absolutely, yes.

Implications of Finding Life on Mars

BECAUSE WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT, IT SHOULD BE DEFINITIVE?

Exactly. I am convinced also that - honestly speaking, I have been working for 16 years to produce a PFS because it was produced previously for the Russian mission to Mars 1996, which failed as you know. I was certainly hoping to see methane, but I never thought of all the implications and consequences. I had no time for that. And now, I am thinking and looking around and learning a lot and the implications are just incredible! One can say fascinating, but I think more than that. From human culture point of view, this is something important to know that maybe life at least started on another planet."

Dr. Formisano said that if he is not ready to report his Martian atmosphere data during the July COSPAR conference in Paris, then he will be ready for the Italian Space Agency conference about Mars held September 19-23 - on Ischia island near Naples. By then, he expects to confirm both the source of methane on Mars and other life-related molecules.

By now, another groundbreaking instrument aboard the European Mars Express Orbiter was supposed to be looking deep underground on Mars for water and ice. That is the MARSIS radar instrument designed to penetrate rock and soil down to a depth of five kilometers, or three miles, according to ESA.
