Our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against Principalities and Powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Ephesians 6:12

NASA Hires Lay Theologian Dr Andrew Davison At The University Of Cambridge To Give Verdict If Extraterrestrials Are Actually Demons Of The Darksome Atmosphere....
LOL!
Please.....
Oh look he is a Thomist!
Hey to all you woke idiots in the Media.....Stop calling this layman Dr Andrew Davison a priest. Only Roman Catholics are called Priests.
Dr Andrew Davison may have been "ordained" in 2003 but he still remains nothing more than a layman.
Protestants reject the word Priest and prefer to call themselves ministers etc....
NASA 'looks to the heavens' for help: Agency enlists 24 theologians to assess how the world would react to the discovery of alien life on distant planets and how it might change our perception of gods and creation
NASA is looking to the heavens for help with assessing how humans will react if alien life is found on other planets and how the discovery could impact our ideas of gods and creation.
The agency is hiring 24 theologians to take part in its program at the Center for Theological Inquiry (CTI) at Princeton University in New Jersey, which NASA gave a $1.1 million grant to in 2014.
CTI is described as building 'bridges of under understanding by convening theologians, scientists, scholars, and policymakers to think together - and inform public thinking - on global concerns.'The program aims to answer questions that have baffled us since the begging of time such as what is life? What does it mean to be alive? Where do we draw the line between the human and the alien? What are the possibilities for sentient life in other places?
Now that NASA has two rovers on Mars, several probes orbiting Jupiter and Saturn and is set to launch the James Web Telescope tomorrow that study galaxy, star and planet formation in the universe, it seems that the agency is hopeful it is on the right path to discovering life outside of Earth.
And it needs a little help from above to help those of us living below to understand if that happens. Source
Here for you woke morons is a real Priest St Thomas Aquinas on where Demons reside....
Summa Th. I EN Qu.64 a.4
Article: 4 Whether our atmosphere is the demons' place of punishment?
Objection:
1. It would seem that this atmosphere is not the demons' place of punishment. For a demon is a spiritual nature. But a spiritual nature is not affected by place. Therefore there is no place of punishment for demons.
2. Further, man's sin is not graver than the demons'. But man's place of punishment is hell. Much more, therefore, is it the demons' place of punishment; and consequently not the darksome atmosphere.
3. Further, the demons are punished with the pain of fire. But there is no fire in the darksome atmosphere. Therefore the darksome atmosphere is not the place of punishment for the demons.
On the contrary Augustine says (Gn ad lit. iii, 10), that "the darksome atmosphere is as a prison to the demons until the judgment day."
I answer that The angels in their own nature stand midway between God and men. Now the order of Divine providence so disposes, that it procures the welfare of the inferior orders through the superior. But man's welfare is disposed by Divine providence in two ways: first of all, directly, when a man is brought unto good and withheld from evil; and this is fittingly done through the good angels. In another way, indirectly, as when anyone assailed is exercised by fighting against opposition. It was fitting for this procuring of man's welfare to be brought about through the wicked spirits, lest they should cease to be of service in the natural order. Consequently a twofold place of punishment is due to the demons: one, by reason of their sin, and this is hell; and another, in order that they may tempt men, and thus the darksome atmosphere is their due place of punishment. Now the procuring of men's salvation is prolonged even to the judgment day: consequently, the ministry of the angels and wrestling with demons endure until then. Hence until then the good angels are sent to us here; and the demons are in this dark atmosphere for our trial: although some of them are even now in hell, to torment those whom they have led astray; just as some of the good angels are with the holy souls in heaven. But after the judgment day all the wicked, both men and angels, will be in hell, and the good in heaven.
Reply to Objection:
1. A place is not penal to angel or soul as if affecting the nature by changing it, but as affecting the will by saddening it: because the angel or the soul apprehends that it is in a place not agreeable to its will.
2. One soul is not set over another in the order of nature, as the demons are over men in the order of nature; consequently there is no parallel.
3. Some have maintained that the pain of sense for demons and souls is postponed until the judgment day: and that the beatitude of the saints is likewise postponed until the judgment day. But this is erroneous, and contrary to the teaching of the Apostle (2Co 5,1): "If our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, we have a house in heaven." Others, again, while not admitting the same of souls, admit it as to demons. But it is better to say that the same judgment is passed upon wicked souls and wicked angels, even as on good souls and good angels.
Consequently, it must be said that, although a heavenly place belongs to the glory of the angels, yet their glory is not lessened by their coming to us, for they consider that place to be their own; in the same way as we say that the bishop's honor is not lessened while he is not actually sitting on his throne. In like manner it must be said, that although the demons are not actually bound within the fire of hell while they are in this dark atmosphere, nevertheless their punishment is none the less; because they know that such confinement is their due. Hence it is said in a gloss upon Jc 3,6: "They carry fire of hell with them wherever they go." Nor is this contrary to what is said (Lc 8,31), "They besought the Lord not to cast them into the abyss"; for they asked for this, deeming it to be a punishment for them to be cast out of a place where they could injure men. Hence it is stated, "They [Vulg. 'He'] besought Him that He would not expel them [Vulg. 'him'] out of the country" (Mc 5,10).

Rocket Man William Shatner Returns From Space And Smashes His Car
Shields up, Scotty! Star Trek legend William Shatner, 90, avoids injury in car crash while driving around LA... after recently returning from space
He's piloted a star ship, he became the oldest man in space on Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin... but a drive in Los Angeles proved more perilous for Star Trek legend William Shatner who was involved in a fender bender on Tuesday afternoon.
The 90-year-old actor stayed on-scene and appeared to avoid injury in the two-car blow as he detailed the incident with a Los Angeles Police Department traffic officer.
It's unclear who or what caused the collision, and DailyMail.com has reached out to Shatner's representatives for comment. While all seemed to be OK on land, Shatner recently made history after the Amazon mogul invited him on the mission of a lifetime when he rocketed out of the atmosphere on the Blue Origin spaceship in October.

9 Killed In Plane Crash At Dominican Republic Airport
9 killed in plane crash at Dominican Republic airport
A charter plane carrying nine people, including six American citizens, has crashed while trying to make an emergency landing in the Dominican Republic, local officials say. There were no survivors.
The Gulfstream IV aircraft, which was operated by the Helidosa Aviation Group, had taken off from La Isabela International Airport in the Dominican Republic on Wednesday afternoon for a flight to the U.S. state of Florida.Flight-tracking websites show that the aircraft encountered problems almost immediately and circled over Santo Domingo once before trying to make an emergency landing at Las Américas International Airport, where it crashed near the runway.
“We hereby inform you that today, the HI1050 aircraft with 2 crew members and 7 passengers, had an accident at Las Américas International Airport,” Helidosa said in a brief statement, which provided no further details.
Local media said nine people were killed in the crash and there were no survivors. The seven passengers were identified as American citizens, including three children. The pilot was described as Venezuelan.
The cause of Tuesday’s plane crash was not immediately known. Source

BEZOS DOOM! Bezos All Smiles After Six Amazon Workers Die In Amazon Warehouse Collapse During Edwardsville Tornado...
Woke Black Man All Smiles
Whitey Died...
Really .......what do expect from a JEW?
And this JEW is gonna conquer Space? LOL!
JEFF Bezos has been slammed after celebrating his Blue Origin space trip after the collapse of one of his Amazon warehouses, which left six dead.
The billionaire took around 24 hours to publicly respond to the tragedy after the tornado hit the building in Edwardsville, Illinois, and trapped 100 workers inside on Friday. On Saturday morning, the Amazon founder made no mention of the deadly collapse when he went on social media praising a successful landing of one of his Blue Origin missions.
“Happy crew this morning in the training center,” the billionaire wrote on Instagram along with a photo of “Good Morning America” host Michael Strahan, a daughter of Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepard and four others.
A majority of the comments applauded Bezos on the successful mission but others weren’t so kind.
“You should worry about the tornado situation more,” wrote one user.
Another person asked, “Will any of your Amazon workers take flight?”
On Twitter, the blasting of the billionaire continued. Source

Pope Arrives In Cyprus On 1st Leg Of Apostolic Journey
Pope arrives in Cyprus on 1st leg of Apostolic Journey
Pope Francis has begun his apostolic journey to the eastern Mediterranean region, flying first to Cyprus in his two-nation visit.
Accompanying him on the 3-hour flight from Rome on an A320 plane of Italy’s new state-owned flag carrier ITA Airways, were 77 journalists, 7 of them from Cyprus and Greece. Pope Francis greeted and thanked them for their company. “It is a beautiful journey, and we will also touch some wounds,” he told them. “I hope we can all welcome all the messages we will find,” he added.
Arrival in Larnaca
The papal plane touched down Larnaca Airport of Cyprus at 3:00 pm in the afternoon, coming to a halt in front of the “Head of State Executive Terminal”.
The Apostolic Nuncio to Cyprus Archbishop Tito Yllana went up the steps to greet the Pontiff inside the aircraft. Awaiting him on the red carpet on the tarmac at the foot of the steps was the Speaker of the House of Parliament, Annita Demetriou, accompanied by 3 children in traditional dresses, who offered him bouquets of flower in welcome. Present also were also several Church dignitaries. After the guard of honour to the playing of band music, the Pontiff and the President of the Parliament introduced members of their respective delegations
Present on the tarmac were also many children holding the Vatican and Cypriot flags, whom the Pope greeted as they cheered: "We love you". One of them held a banner with the words, "Pope Francis, symbol of peace".
There were no speeches at the airport but the Pope and Demetriou talked for a while inside the terminal. The Holy Father was then driven some 50 kilometres in a Fiat 500 car to Our Lady of Graces Cathedral in the capital Nicosia, the see of the Maronite Catholic Archdiocese of Cyprus, where he was to address priests, religious, deacons, catechists and ecclesial associations and movements of Cyprus.

“In the year 1864, Lucifer together with a large number of demons will be unloosed from hell; they will put an end to faith little by little, even in those dedicated to God. They will blind them in such a way, that, unless they are blessed with a special grace, these people will take on the spirit of these angels of hell; several religious institutions will lose all faith and will lose many souls. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)

Pope Francis On His Way To Cyprus And Greece
Pope Francis On His Way To Cyprus And Greece
Pope Francis departed from Rome’s Fiumicino airport at 11:00 am local time en route to the Larnaca International Airport in Cyprus where he is scheduled to arrive in the afternoon for the first leg of his 5-day journey.
A group of refugees gathered in the Vatican to see him off as he departed the Casa Santa Marta for the airport by car. They hail from Syria, Congo, Somalia and Afghanistan and were accompanied by the papal almoner Cardinal Konrad Krajewski. Many of those present spent time in the Moria migrant camp in Lesbos before travelling to Italy. Amongst them were some of those who Pope Francis brought back aboard the papal plane after his visit to Lesbos in April 2016.
The Pope then made a brief stop at that Parish of Our Lady of the Angels in Fiumicino (video above) where he said a prayer before the image of Our Lady of Loreto. He also met with some refugees who are guests of the parish before going on to board the papal plane. Source
Cyprus and then Greece
The Holy Father’s 35th Apostolic journey, taking place from 2- 6 December, will see him visit Cyprus and Greece - two countries at the frontline of migratory routes for people fleeing their countries for Europe. Ecumenical relations with the Orthodox Churches in the two countries will also be a highlight of Pope Francis’ visit.
He will spend 2 – 4 December in Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, where he will meet with civil and religious authorities, the clergy, religious and the faithful in the country. His schedule also includes the celebration of the Holy Mass on Friday at the GSP sports stadium in Nicosia, and an Ecumenical Prayer with migrants at the Parish Church of the Holy Cross.
On Saturday, Pope Francis will leave Cyprus for Athens, Greece, for the second leg of his visit which will last till Monday.
One highlight of his visit to Greece will be his visit with migrants at the Reception and Identification Center in Mytilene town in the island of Lesbos. For the second time in five years, the Pope will visit the island which has long been dealing with migrant arrivals.
In 2016, Pope Francis had visited Lesbos when it was home to the largest refugee camp on the European continent. On that occasion, he returned back to the Vatican with 12 Syrian refugees in a symbolic gesture to highlight the plight of vulnerable migrants. The refugee camp was destroyed in a fire in September 2020.
After meeting with young people in Athens on Monday morning, Pope Francis is scheduled to return to the Vatican. Source

The Pope took a moment from his busy schedule on Wednesday afternoon to pray a while at the feet of the ancient Roman icon of Mary Salus Populi Romani.
He traveled to the papal Basilica of St. Mary Major for a brief visit, before returning to the Vatican.
According to the Holy See Press Office, Pope Francis entrusted his Apostolic Journey to Cyprus and Greece to Our Lady’s protection.
He also laid a bouquet of flowers on the altar where the icon is housed in the Borghese Chapel.
Ecumenical relations
The Pope sets off on Thursday morning for a 3-day visit to the Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus, before traveling on Saturday to Greece where he will stay until Monday. Ecumenical relations with the Orthodox Churches will be one highlight of his visits to both nations.
On Saturday he meets with Archbishop Chrysostomos II of Cyprus, head of the island’s Eastern Orthodox Church, as well as with the Orthodox Holy Synod of Cyprus.
His visit to Greece will see the Pope meet with Ieronymos II of Athens, the primate of the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Greece.
Orthodox Christians make up the vast majority of both nations.
Attention to migrants
In Cyprus, Pope Francis is following in the footsteps of Benedict XVI, who in 2010 became the first modern Pope to visit there.
Pope Francis is also returning to the Greek island of Lesbos to visit with migrants and refugees.
He traveled to the island in 2016 with Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew I at the height of the European migration crisis, returning to the Vatican with 12 asylum seekers aboard the papal plane.
The plight of migrants is once again on his agenda, with events scheduled in both Cyprus and Greece to provide an opportunity for Pope Francis to express his solidarity and closeness to people on the move. Source

Elon Musk Haircut Versus St Thomas Aquinas Tonsure
“You must not cut off the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.” Leviticus 19:28
Musk is the opposite of St Thomas Aquinas....
With a personal fortune of close to $300billion at his disposal, the world's wealthiest man Elon Musk could afford any haircut he desires, and this week the eccentric billionaire opted for a very quirky Mohawk.
The founder and CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX debuted his avant-garde new look when he was photographed landing in Miami on Wednesday night.
Musk, 50, flew in on a private jet ahead of Art Basel Miami, the exclusive international art fair known for glamorous parties and celebrity sightings, which got under way Thursday and will run through Saturday. The trailblazing businessman put his new 'do on full display, showing off the shaved sides of his head, topped with a shock of wavy, richly hued chestnut hair running from his forehead down to the nape of his neck, and revealing his taut face.
Musk's tresses have long been the source of much speculation online, with at least one expert telling Page Six in 2018 that it is 'highly, highly likely' that the tech mogul has undergone hair transplant surgery.
Photos of Musk from his time at PayPal 20 years ago show the fresh-faced South African native with a visibly receding hairline, but since then the entrepreneur's mane has grown thicker and darker, suggesting surgical intervention and a hair care routine possibly involving dyes to give Musk a more youthful and vigorous look. Musk wore a black Western-style denim shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a matching bandana, dark-colored jeans and cowboy boots in a clear nod to his new home state of Texas.
Tesla announced on Wednesday it has officially relocated its corporate headquarters from Silicon Valley in California to a large factory under construction outside of Austin, Texas, and Musk said he has moved his residence to the Lone Star State as well.
Musk arrived in Florida with his one-year-old son X Æ A-XII and his new dog, a Shiba Inu puppy named Marvin, in tow.
Musk's entourage included three security guards and a nanny, who exited the airport cradling her boss' toddler in her arms and carrying a huge backpack. Source
Why was it that Catholic monks only shaved the top of their heads?
The haircut that these monks had was called the Tonsure, or Tonsura in Latin. The word tonsure means “clipping”, as in clipping one’s hair off. The bizarre haircut started around 1073 when Pope Gregorio VII was enthroned. During this time, the culture in the church was very lenient on haircuts, dress code, and even dating amongst monks, priests, and nuns.
During Gregorio VII’s time was also when corruption was very rampant in the church as well. To tackle the old corruption problem within the church, the Pope decided to enforce abstinence on every priest, monk, and nun. Marrying or any kind of sexual relationship for monks, priests, and nuns was forbidden and they were forced to practice abstinence daily. One of the most significant changes that Gregorio VII brought was the standardized haircut for monks.To symbolize the giving of their lives to God, monks were to mimic Saint Paul’s hair. Saint Paul was said to be a bald man; which meant that every monk was to shave their head clean. Saint Paul was revered by many Catholic Christians for writing thirteen books of the Bible and spreading Christianity across the Roman Empire in his lifetime. It seemed appropriate for Gregorio VII to think that mimicking Saint Paul’s hair would bring the church closer to God.
One of the problems with doing so was that the bible forbids cutting the hair at the edge of one’s head or beard. Leviticus 19:28 from the Old Testament goes:
“You must not cut off the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.” This presented a dilemma for many monks who wanted to mimic Saint Paul but were afraid to go against the bible A solution to this dilemma was a haircut that satisfied both the bible and the pope. Monks shaved the top of their heads to show tribute to Saint Paul and kept the edges of their hair to also respect the bible. The new bizarre haircut was named the tonsure and was worn by almost every Catholic monks in Europe in medieval times. Source

St Basil the Great tells you what UAPs & UFOs actually are - DEMONS of our Lower Atmosphere:
Saint Basil also, on Isaiah x, writes that the bodies of Demons are sometimes of air and sometimes of fire, and often compounded of both these elements: there can, indeed, be no doubt that the Demons take upon themselves just that kind of concrete body which answers the particular purpose which they have in view; and their different shapes and appearances may be said to be as limitless as those adopted by Proteus in his various forms. For just as the exhalations of the earth form themselves into clouds which, when shaken by the winds, take an infinite variety of shapes; so also do the Demons, by means of their fluency and rapid dexterity, shape their bodies from a concrete condensation of air and vapours into whatever form they desire.
S. Basil again, on Isaiah ii, says that they often freakishly infest men in the form of a cat or a fly or a dog; Tamblicus (De Mysteriis Aegyptiorum: and Psellus (De Daemonibus) write that it is not possible to compute the various forms in which they busy themselves: for now they will confine themselves within the very smallest of bodies, and now dilate themselves into monstrous size; sometimes they appear as men, sometimes as women; they will roar like lions, or leap like panthers, or bark like dogs; and at times will transform themselves into the shape of a wineskin or some other vessel. Alvarado a Minues, Oviedo, and those who have written of the customs of the West Indians, testify to very frequent meetings with Demons appearing now in the shape of one animal, now in that of another.

Here read from St. Thomas Aquinas on where Demons reside...
Article 4. Whether our atmosphere is the demons' place of punishment?
Objection 1. It would seem that this atmosphere is not the demons' place of punishment. For a demon is a spiritual nature. But a spiritual nature is not affected by place. Therefore there is no place of punishment for demons.
Objection 2. Further, man's sin is not graver than the demons'. But man's place of punishment is hell. Much more, therefore, is it the demons' place of punishment; and consequently not the darksome atmosphere.
Objection 3. Further, the demons are punished with the pain of fire. But there is no fire in the darksome atmosphere. Therefore the darksome atmosphere is not the place of punishment for the demons.
On the contrary, Augustine says (Gen. ad lit. iii, 10), that "the darksome atmosphere is as a prison to the demons until the judgment day."
I answer that, The angels in their own nature stand midway between God and men. Now the order of Divine providence so disposes, that it procures the welfare of the inferior orders through the superior. But man's welfare is disposed by Divine providence in two ways: first of all, directly, when a man is brought unto good and withheld from evil; and this is fittingly done through the good angels. In another way, indirectly, as when anyone assailed is exercised by fighting against opposition. It was fitting for this procuring of man's welfare to be brought about through the wicked spirits, lest they should cease to be of service in the natural order. Consequently a twofold place of punishment is due to the demons: one, by reason of their sin, and this is hell; and another, in order that they may tempt men, and thus the darksome atmosphere is their due place of punishment.
Now the procuring of men's salvation is prolonged even to the judgment day: consequently, the ministry of the angels and wrestling with demons endure until then. Hence until then the good angels are sent to us here; and the demons are in this dark atmosphere for our trial: although some of them are even now in hell, to torment those whom they have led astray; just as some of the good angels are with the holy souls in heaven. But after the judgment day all the wicked, both men and angels, will be in hell, and the good in heaven.
Reply to Objection 1. A place is not penal to angel or soul as if affecting the nature by changing it, but as affecting the will by saddening it: because the angel or the soul apprehends that it is in a place not agreeable to its will.
Reply to Objection 2. One soul is not set over another in the order of nature, as the demons are over men in the order of nature; consequently there is no parallel.
Reply to Objection 3. Some have maintained that the pain of sense for demons and souls is postponed until the judgment day: and that the beatitude of the saints is likewise postponed until the judgment day. But this is erroneous, and contrary to the teaching of the Apostle (2 Corinthians 5:1): "If our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, we have a house in heaven." Others, again, while not admitting the same of souls, admit it as to demons. But it is better to say that the same judgment is passed upon wicked souls and wicked angels, even as on good souls and good angels.
Consequently, it must be said that, although a heavenly place belongs to the glory of the angels, yet their glory is not lessened by their coming to us, for they consider that place to be their own; in the same way as we say that the bishop's honor is not lessened while he is not actually sitting on his throne. In like manner it must be said, that although the demons are not actually bound within the fire of hell while they are in this dark atmosphere, nevertheless their punishment is none the less; because they know that such confinement is their due. Hence it is said in a gloss upon James 3:6: "They carry fire of hell with them wherever they go." Nor is this contrary to what is said (Luke 8:31), "They besought the Lord not to cast them into the abyss"; for they asked for this, deeming it to be a punishment for them to be cast out of a place where they could injure men. Hence it is stated, "They [Vulg. 'He'] besought Him that He would not expel them [Vulg. 'him'] out of the country" (Mark 5:10).

Delta Passenger On A Flight From Syracuse To Atlanta Was 'Breastfeeding Her Hairless CAT And Refused To Stop'
Delta passenger on a flight from Syracuse to Atlanta was 'breastfeeding her hairless CAT and refused to stop'
A female passenger on a recent Delta Airlines flight stunned her fellow travelers and cabin crew when she was reportedly observed breastfeeding her pet cat and the woman refused to stop when asked by a flight attendant.
The bizarre incident was said to have taken place on a recent Delta Flight 1360 from Syracuse, New York, to Atlanta, Georgia.
The tale of the purportedly unhinged feline lover became public knowledge after a screenshot went viral on social media, showing a message that was transmitted by a Delta crew member to colleagues on the ground in Atlanta, summoning assistance.According to the message, which was sent through the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) and was first reported on by Newsweek, a passenger in seat 13A 'is breastfeeding a cat and will not put cat back in its carrier when [flight attendant] requested.'
Flight attendant Ainsley Elizabeth posted more details to TikTok on November 13.
'This woman had one of those, like, hairless cats swaddled up in a blanket so it looked like a baby,' she recounted. 'Her shirt was up and she was trying to get the cat to latch and she wouldn't put the cat back in the carrier. And the cat was screaming for its life.' Source

Pentagon Forms a Group to Examine Unexplained Aerial Sightings
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon on Tuesday night announced a new group to investigate reports of unidentified aerial phenomena in sensitive areas, work that will be overseen by both the military and the intelligence agencies. The group will lead an effort to “detect, identify and attribute objects” in restricted airspace, as well as mitigate any threats to military flights. The announcement follows the release of a report in June that failed to provide explanations of 143 sightings of strange phenomena by military pilots and others over the past two decades. The report frustrated some inside the intelligence community who believed more analysis and research should have been done to try to categorize and explain the phenomena. Releasing a report that said the sightings were unexplained further drove theories that the videos or pictures could be visitors from space, a theory that few in the U.S. government take seriously. Kathleen H. Hicks, the deputy defense secretary, said the new group would be called the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group. It will be overseen by an executive council made up of the under secretary of defense for intelligence, the director of the Joint Staff and senior officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The group will focus on special-use airspace, which includes military operations areas, firing ranges and places restricted for national security and other uses. In a memo, Dr. Hicks said unidentified aerial phenomena in special-use areas represented a potential safety issue for military pilots and raised “potential national security concerns.” In June, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a report that reviewed unidentified aerial phenomena seen since 2004, noting that 143 remained unexplained. Of those, 21 reports, involving 18 episodes, possibly demonstrated technological know-how unknown to the United States, such as objects moving without observable propulsion or with rapid acceleration that is believed to be beyond the capabilities of Russia, China or other terrestrial nations.

Sierra Space Dream Chaser Spaceplane
With a huge infusion of cash, Sierra Space hopes to get its Dream Chaser spaceplane and space station off the ground
The space world has a little engine that could - a small, snub-nosed space plane called Dream Chaser that looks like it could be the space shuttle's offspring. For years, it has pursued an unlikely path in its quest to space, facing all sorts of obstacles along the way. But it has never given up.
Sierra Space, the company that is developing Dream Chaser, lost out on a major NASA contract to use it to fly people in 2014. It appealed, but lost that decision, too. Two years later, it secured a major procurement, this time to fly cargo and supplies to the International Space Station, not humans. It's been five years, and it still hasn't flown to space, despite spending $1 billion on the program.
But on Friday, Sierra Space announced it was getting a huge boost that it said would help get Dream Chaser off the ground, a $1.4 billion investment in a Series A funding round that the company says will help it fly astronauts by 2025. The investment marks the first time the Colorado-based company has brought in outside investors, and it comes as it is revamping the company to pursue a number of projects in an attempt to become a major player in the growing commercial space industry. NASA has contracts with SpaceX and Boeing to fly astronauts to the space station. SpaceX has flown several missions so far, but Boeing has faltered and may not have its first flight with crew until late next year. That could provide an opportunity for Dream Chaser to get back in the picture, and company executives have discussed the possibility with NASA.
Unlike the SpaceX and Boeing capsules, which land in the sea or in the desert, Dream Chaser would land on a runway and allow scientists to access research flown down from the space station immediately. The additional money "is going to be incredibly important for us to take the opportunity to accelerate our plans," Eren Ozmen, who owns the company with her husband, Fatih Ozmen, said in an interview. The company has said it intends to fly its first cargo resupply missions to the space station by the end of next year. Source
