Subject: looking up -- WISE telescope spots interesting shadows over Antarctica

[uploaded 6 times; last 05/09/2024]

The AI's have been twiddling with 100 different things the past few
weeks.  One that has just come to my attention is a re-run of the data
from the WISE IR telescope.

WISE was an old project based on a small orbiting telescope
permanently stuck looking up. Originally it had a big tank of liquid
H2 to keep the IR electronics cold but as time went on that evaporated
and the telescope came to the end of its life. That was more than a
decade ago. But scientists discovered after the machine had been
mothball-ed for a couple years that it could still see in at least one
IR band "W1" (3.4 micron). So the project was revived and data started
streaming into the space telescope database again.

The data I've collected is based on "light curves" for individual
stars in the copious WISE database. There are millions of them. My
programs have been sampling them for months now and there are about
5000 in my database at present (almost 12 million data-points). Each
star is tracked over time as the telescope orbits past the relevant
position in the sky. It goes around every 90m or so and takes snaps of
the same area. Over time its polar orbit drifts to the E so it takes
slightly different snaps.  Over a long enough period -- weeks -- it
has covered the whole sky and starts working over the same spots
again. And again. Etc.

The data is presented as time series of star "magnitudes"
(i.e. greater magnitude means dimmer star in the relevant IR band at
the time).  And by gathering enough individual time series together
and binning them into "sky tiles" of e.g. 5deg x 5deg we can set up
"trip lines" to watch out for shadows or lights crossing into each
tile's area.

And once you have some time series for a tile you can compare it's
brightening and dimming pattern in the relevant IR band with other
interesting datasets. My usual go to strangeness time-series is the
NUFORC data for reported weird objects and military jet chases
thereof. No, there is no evidence we are being visited by people that
live elsewhere in the solar system. But the Pentagon spends a lot of
money looking into it and chasing them off when they show up in
sensitive locations.

The output we'll look at today consists of a "heap map" to show which
parts of the sky "light up" to comparison against UFO sightings data
and a little movie to show how the "looking up" telescope views the
sky, one band along its orbit at a time.

The 2 items are at <kym.massbus.org/WISE/wisemovie.avi>
and <kym.massbus.org/WISE/wisemap.gif>.

The map is perhaps more understandable on one glance. It shows the
biggest responses over the sky as well as the top 20 brightest stars.
There is *some* correlation between location of "pings" and bright
stars.  But not much. The main pattern to observe is most interesting
things seem to happen around declination -80 to -90. Since WISE is
looking up this means over Antarctica. Most of the significant links
(the programs automatically ensure correlations are stat sig to better
than 90% via 2 different tests as well as all other normal TS handling
like serial correlation and noisy data) mostly are +ve. Meaning --
since we are talking "magnitudes" where bigger numbers mean dimmer
stars -- we are spotting shadows passing overhead that seem to highly
highly correlate with UFO sightings reported over N America in the
next few days.

So it seems whatever in heck they are -- they cast shadows in IR.

The biggest hit of the 85 (out of ~2600) sig tiles found looks like this:

MODEL:
lag x 5 units
y = 4.133680e+00*x + -4.871210e+01
beta in 4.13368 +- 2.05644  (90% CI)
alpha in -48.7121 +- 31.174 
T-test: P(beta>0) = 0.999270
Rank test: Spearman corr = 0.471613; cv = 0.432000 2-sided at 1%; 
	reject H0: not_connected
r2 = 0.18498406
Durbin-Watson d = 1.733642
d>du (1.500000) and d<4-du (2.500000):  No auto-corr at 5%

I.e. the stats is 99% sure in 2 different ways that for each 1 unit
of magnitude the average daily IR reads (taken in grabs about 90 mins
apart as the telescope orbits ~500 km up) dimmer in this 5x5 deg region 
above Antarctica there are expected to be around 4+-2 UFO sightings in 6 days
time over N America.

Many other tiles are in the same general region (see the map).  They
mostly see shadows correlated with UFO sightings in the next few days.
Some of them see bright IR flashes that correlate with UFO sightings
in the next few days.

It's individually not a lock on anything. But we have a growing list
of consistent things we are seeing and a growling list of what
whistle-blowers say at least the US military is seeing and doing.

When are we going to stop pretending it isn't happening?

Jellyfish May Dominate a Warmer Arctic Ocean
Technology Networks, 17 May 2024
Climate change is putting countless marine organisms under pressure. However,
jellyfish in the world's oceans could actually benefit from the rising water
temperatures - also and especially in the Arctic Ocean, as researchers from
the Alfred Wegener Institute have now successfully shown.

"[F]or the few cases in all domains--space, air, and sea--that do
demonstrate potentially anomalous characteristics, AARO exists to help the
DOD, IC, and interagency resolve those anomalous cases. In doing so, AARO is
approaching these cases with the highest level of objectivity and analytic
rigor. This includes physically testing and employing modeling and
simulation to validate our analyses and underlying theories, and
peer-reviewing those results within the U.S. government, industry partners,
and appropriately cleared academic institutions before reaching any
conclusions."

Unidentified aerial phenomena I. Observations of events
B.E. Zhilyaev, V. N. Petukhov, V. M. Reshetnyk
Main Astronomical Observatory, NAS of Ukraine,
Zabalotnoho 27, 03680, Kyiv, Ukraine
[...] We present a broad range of UAPs. We see them everywhere. We observe a
significant number of objects whose nature is not clear. Flights of single,
group and squadrons of the ships were detected, moving at speeds from 3 to
15 degrees per second. Some bright objects exhibit regular brightness
variability in the range of 10 - 20 Hz.  Two-site observations of UAPs at a
base of 120 km with two synchronised cameras allowed the detection of
a variable object, at an altitude of 1170 km. It flashes for one hundredth
of a second at an average of 20 Hz. [...]
An object contrast makes it possible to estimate the distance using
colourimetric methods.  [Objects with 0 albedo] are observed in the
troposphere at distances up to 10-12 km. We estimate their size from 3 to 12
meters and speeds up to 15 km/s. [...]
[Astronomers in Ukraine have undertaken their own independent survey
of objects they see flying over the Kyiv region at speeds around 15
km/sec.  They are watching the daytime sky at the zenith and in front
of the moon.  They see many objects -- some bright and some dark,
different sizes.  They travel often singly but sometimes in large
groups.  They report brightness is linked with speed. The spectrum
of bright objects is reportedly not reflected sunlight.  Objects
have been spotted inside the atm upto ~10 km but also out to ~1000 km
above the earth, travelling up to ~1000 km/sec.  They are not likely
anything sent by Russia or any other country].

FOIA Release Sheds Light on Five Eyes Alliance UAP Research Collaboration
John Greenewald/Black Vault, 18 Jun 2024
Australian UAP researcher Grant Lavac has obtained documents through a
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, revealing details about the "FVEY
Inaugural UAP Caucus Working Group" meeting. FVEY, which stands for "Five
Eyes," is an intelligence alliance that includes Australia, Canada, New
Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It encourages
collaboration and intelligence sharing among these nations, particularly in
security and defense sectors.
[The AUS military dismisses any link with UFO investigation.  That
must mean the patrol aircraft we see almost nightly chasing LITS away
are a rouge operation of some kind. Probably Chinese!]
