LONDON - For those who believe in the apparitions of flying saucers, commonly known as UFOs, there's bad news. In addition to the explanations given so far of the various phenomena seen in decades is now added that of Professor Colin Price, University of Tel Aviv. Price, head of the department of geophysics and planetary sciences, is a specialist of the "winter sprites" that appear in the skies of the northern hemisphere winter months. The Sprites are large electrical discharges that occur above the storm clouds and occur in clusters at heights between 50 and 100 km, and sometimes beyond.

spirits of the air - The Sprites are the spirits of the air "and the term was taken from" Dream of a Midsummer Night "by Shakespeare. The phenomenon was photographed for the first time in 1989 by scientists at the American University in Minnesota. Their demonstrations take place, therefore, very high in the sky, in the upper atmosphere. "They are usually triggered lightning storms in the normal lower levels to stimulate the higher electric field producing the Sprites and now we discovered that only certain types of lightning can trigger them - explains Price - How this happens is still not well understood and debate is open but it certainly can explain some peculiar observations of UFOs. "

"Elves" - The Sprites are sometimes associated with other phenomena such as 'elves' luminous halo with a diameter of about 400 km. Such formations often move in the bright sky and this is the reason why they were called spirits of the air or elves. And it is another of their characteristics associated with UFOs. The strange lightning reaching very high altitudes can have an impact on the ozone layer that surrounds the Earth protecting life. "Fortunately note - Price - that does not happen very often and therefore their potential damage is contained. But given the risk posed should investigate them better. "

BRUSSELS - "It's not an April Fool," assures the police. "There are ghosts," the clerk swears. So all groping in the dark without being able to explain the mystery of Aalsten, a village deep in the north of Holland, 162 souls in all. E 'in the cemetery of the church building that the puzzle has been repeated for months: the lid of a tomb, 450 pounds of granite, leaving only moves from the open tomb. The

all began when a family has found the tomb of a relative uncovered. Thinking about an act of vandalism, has called the police. But the fact was repeated four times without agents were able to identify those responsible. Regularly when the relatives or the clerk went to check the tomb, were open, with the heavy lid displaced laterally over a meter. At this point the police took it to heart and secretly installed a camera in front of the burial.

What happened next explains it better than all of Anna Van der Meer, police spokesman Frisian: "Absurd, thrilling, absolutely incredible. When I saw our video, I was stunned. You see the rock slide to the side, almost fall to the ground. Then it's grave side and stops, leaving the tomb uncovered in large part by a movement of more than one meter. How is it possible? I do not know, weighs 450 pounds. Besides the video shows very well that the stone is firm, then in the blink of an eye from the side shoots. I have never seen such a thing in my whole career. We have no explanation. "

The story has been done now the turn of the Netherlands, with the media triggered the search for the video. But I left empty-handed, as requested by the family secret and the DVD was sent to the science of Amsterdam. Meanwhile, playing the race to solve the mystery of Aalsten. Scientists deny we can deal with landslides, or underground movements of the ground. Some people blame the giant rats, but the theory holds water on all sides. This is known as the temperature changes that may create imbalances in the internal pressure of the grave.

short, few ideas and well mixed. The only apparent certainty comes from the clerk of Aalst, Tjerk Smit: "I certainly was not the ghosts. I do not believe in spirits, otherwise I would not choose this job."

space debris and heavenly mysteries

After the battle in orbit

phenomena reported spectacular fireballs and space debris:
alarm and mystery in the world

state of emergency in Canada, luminous appearances in Italy, Ky. and Texas


La «striscia  di fuoco» apparsa in italia la sera del 13 febbraio registrata con una telecamera dall'astrofilo Diego Valeri di Contigliano (Rieti)
The "strip of fire" appeared in Italy on the evening of February 13 recorded with a camera dall'astrofilo Diego Valeri of Contigliano (Rieti)
ROME - Now space debris ('space debris' in English) are really afraid. In the region of Alberta, Canada, are pulling a sigh of relief for an impact from space averted at the last minute. And in Texas, Kentucky and even in our Italy, standing out here in the sky mysterious "ball of fire", yet it is not known to what extent intertwined with space debris or due to a swarm of meteors.

PANIC IN CANADA - alarm from unit certainly connected with the fall of a man-made object from orbit, the fire in the region of Alberta. E 'success in the early hours of the morning of Friday, February 13, local time, but only in emergency exceeded the details have been revealed. The North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) of the United States, an agency that oversees space and keeps an eye on all the bodies orbiting around the Earth, warned the representatives of the Government of Canada: "A Russian space freighter the size of a bus, that was used to transport materials on the International Space Station, is out of control and about to fall on you. Calculations indicate that it may crash into the city of Calgary, around 10 am, but the trajectory is uncertain. We are defining the minute by minute. We will let you know. " The alarm of the civil protection in Canada, both nationally and locally. One wonders whether it is appropriate to warn people and to prepare evacuation plans, at least in the most populous of the city center. While the hectic consultations are underway, it reappeared NORAD: the trajectory of the bullet maxi space has changed, now it seems to focus on Kneehill or Wheatland County, about one hundred kilometers east of Calgary. There, fortunately, the population density is lower, there is less danger of direct impact with people and things. But it faces another concern. The wreck of the Russian carrier which contains radioactive material, dispersing on impact, it could contaminate a large area overhead. Taking other levels of alert to monitor the possible radioactive cloud. "But just as an operator of our staff was to spread the alarm to the public, says Colin Lloyd, Executive Director of Emergency Management Alberta, from the operations center in Ottawa there comes an order against: the wreck Space the atmosphere has rebounded, finishing in the Atlantic. Danger averted. And 'one morning we will not forget easily. "

THE MATCH IN ORBIT - The alarm space of 'Alberta to just three days following a collision in Earth orbit record-breaking occurred on 10 febbraio, a circa 800 km di altezza, fra due satelliti per telecomunicazioni: il russo Kosmos 2251 e l’americano Iridium 33, rispettivamente da 1.000 e 500 kg di peso. Non era mai successo prima d’ora che due grandi satelliti, ciascuno ruotante sulla propria orbita, facessero un involontario urto frontale. (I cinesi, invece, due anni fa, avevano volontariamente effettuato un impatto fra un loro missile balistico e un satellite in disuso). A causa delle alte velocità in gioco (25 mila km all’ora), un crash spaziale genera migliaia di frammenti grandi e piccoli che, sparpagliandosi progressivamente in vari livelli orbitali, si possono trasformare in potenziali proiettili-killer a danno di altri satelliti, della Stazione spaziale permanently inhabited by astronauts at 400 km altitude and, farther down, the Earth itself.

Sightings 'ITALIAN' - For this reason, when the evening of February 13 the amateur Diego Valeri from Contigliano (Rieti), specializing in the observation of meteors, is able to record with his camera for the surveillance of the sky a ball of fire ten times brighter than the Moon (SEE), is not but wonder whether this is a fragment of the orbital collision, rather than the usual cosmic rock came down from heaven. And the question becomes more urgent when similar sightings are made, again on the evening of February 13, even from other locations italiane e, oltre l’Atlantico, a Morehead nel Kentucky (dove l’apparizione è accompagnata da vibrazioni e boati).

FRA UFO E METEORE - Il 15 febbraio, poi, in molte località del Texas, un’altra palla di fuoco è talmente luminosa da rendersi visibile in pieno giorno. Fatti debiti calcoli, gli specialisti del NORAD escludono che le molteplici palle di fuoco possano essere i frammenti del crash spaziale. Un’ ipotesi alternativa è che si tratti di uno sciame di meteore, provenienti chissà da dove, che ha colpito il nostro pianeta, dando luogo a una molteplicità di fenomeni. Ma, mentre gli astronomi sono impegnati nei calcoli, le ipotesi, anche le più spericolate dei soliti ufologi, si affastellano. Il rischio che l’aumento della spazzatura spaziale possa costituire un pericolo sia per la navigazione spaziale e aerea, che per noi inermi abitanti della Terra, è stato intanto ribadito dal direttore dell’United Nation Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOOSA), Mazlan Othman, che ha richiamato al rispetto di una risoluzione già adottata dall’assemblea generale dell’ONU, che esorta a una non proliferazione degli «space debris», allo scopo di preservare l’ambiente spaziale e la sicurezza del pianeta. In pratica, a questo scopo, i vari Paesi del club spaziale, dovrebbero limitare le attività e le manovre potenzialmente pericolose e le agenzie addette al monitoraggio dei corpi Artificial should improve their skills of observation and calculation to prevent accidents with the best control of the now congested traffic orbital.
