#Helen Sharman
Text
Thinking that when Thirteen fell to Earth and found her new “fam,” it’s no coincidence that she landed near the hometown of the first Briton (and first western European woman) in space.

DR. HELEN SHARMAN // ASTRONAUT
“She was Britain’s first astronaut. Before training for her adventure, she worked as a research chemist for a confectionary company. She heard a radio advertisement that said “Astronauts wanted. No experience necessary” and responded. As Great Britain did not have its own official space program, they aimed to book a seat on a Soviet rocket to provide the world with a feel-good story following the Cold War, with the aim of improving Britain-Soviet relations. Out of 13,000 applicants, Sharman passed detailed psychological and medical assessments, as well as vigorous training, and was chosen as GB’s first astronaut. In 1991, she became the first woman to visit the Mir space station and spent 8 days in space.”

Scientists have for the first time discovered a cave on the Moon.
At least 100m deep, it could be an ideal place for humans to build a permanent base, they say.
It is just one in probably hundreds of caves hidden in an “underground, undiscovered world”, according to the researchers.
Countries are racing to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon, but they will need to protect astronauts from radiation, extreme temperatures, and space weather.
Helen Sharman, the first British astronaut to travel to space, told BBC News that the newly-discovered cave looked like a good place for a base, and suggested humans could potentially be living in lunar pits in 20-30 years.
Tumblr media
But, she said, this cave is so deep that astronauts might need to abseil in and use “jet packs or a lift” to get out.
Lorenzo Bruzzone and Leonardo Carrer at the University of Trento in Italy found the cave by using radar to penetrate the opening of a pit on a rocky plain called the Mare Tranquillitatis.
It is visible to the naked eye from Earth, and is also where Apollo 11 landed in 1969.

Do Aliens Exist? Proof of aliens on Earth | Edge of Wonder
Explore the advancements in recording technology and mathematical probability of Proof of alien sighting, which is also mentioned in the Holy Bible in the Book of Ezekiel.
Tumblr media
Explanations about aliens, their existence or conspiracies:-
Some argue that it is prominent that we are not living alone, while others reject the alien proof altogether. However, with advancements in recording technology and fundamental mathematical probability pointing to the possibility of alien life, disbelief is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
Following on from the incredible assertions made by senior officers of the US military during an investigation into ‘Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena’ before the US Senate in July 2023, below are some of the most persuasive proof of alien life. There is proof of alien life, according to Britain’s first astronaut, and they may exist among us but remain undiscovered thus far.
Helen Sharman, who explored the Soviet Mir spacecraft in the year 1991, said in a British newspaper that “aliens exist, there’s no two ways about it.” “There are just so many millions of galaxies that exist in the universe and there must be a variety of various kinds of life,” she said. “Will they be composed of carbon and nitrogen, as you and I are? Perhaps not. Then, in a tempting theory that should make you skeptical of your coworkers, Sharman added: “They may be here at the moment and we simply can’t see them.”
A little reference to our last article:-
In our last post, we magnified the excellence of the competition in “Who won the Super Bowl 2024?” Furthermore, we decide to describe to you the potential variations of the mysterious happenings. Our energetic team is diligently exploring different methods to boost your understanding abilities. We are also proud of your awareness of our materials. That’s why you allow us to improve your brilliance with advanced knowledge.
Are you looking for mysterious, wonderous, and strange content…?
Engage yourself with a wide range of universes in Rise TV’s unparalleled series, Edge of Wonder, where we discuss and explore strange subjects from our famous compilation of research. Do you not empress yourself to the temptation of expanding your mind?
Explore this exquisite chance to become an esteemed Gentlemen subscriber and start this weird journey with us, securing a glorious advantage from the very beginning.
Historical proofs:-
It’s easy to dismiss much contemporary activity, citing everything from errant meteorological balloons to the propagation of mythology and UFO encounters in pop culture, which provides a consistent image of extraterrestrials for eyewitnesses to draw on whenever someone claims aliens. However, ancient data (pre-National Enquirer) is more difficult to deny. Enter ‘The Madonna with Saint Giovannino’, often known as the UFO painting.
It was painted in the fifteenth century and features the Virgin Mary, as well as a man and his dog peering up at a floating disk-like object that appears strangely familiar. This painting is not alone in representing extraterrestrial life; everything from old cave drawings to Sanskrit scrolls does. A sighting is even mentioned in the Holy Bible in the Book of Ezekiel. Perhaps this is solid proof, or humanity has a long history of conspiracy theories.
Unanswered sightings:-
There are more recorded UFO encounters than there are words in this article to deal with them, and most of the time, they are accompanied by detailed debunking. Yet there have been various cases that have been more difficult to explain, ranging from an 1853 sighting by a group of learners and instructors on the University of Tennessee campus to the well-known Stephenville Lights scenario from 2008, in which over 200 witnesses saw the UFO, including three police officers who remained anonymous. Consider the following fascinating examples that remain unsolved.
Statistical data by Frank Drake:-
In 1961, astronomer Frank Drake developed a formula to predict the possibility of the presence of extraterrestrial life, taking into consideration several parameters such as the average number of planets capable of supporting life and the fraction that might be traveled on to sustain intelligent life. This was later adopted in 2001. As a result, statistically speaking, many thousands of such planets are expected to exist.
Government records:-
While some presidents of the United States have published classified papers about the proof of aliens, with Jimmy Carter publicly detailing his personal encounter, others were denied possession of sensitive information entirely, with Bill Clinton professing to be one of them. Many Christians suspect there is a cover-up going on. Clinton has been continuously open about the existence of any proof about aliens, and it’s worth noting his thoughts on an ‘Independence Day’ scenario.
Space Travelers’ Claims:-
If you continue to believe any UFO stories, you might as well believe those coming from individuals who have gone to space (who typically originate with all their teeth and a Ph.D.). Edgar Mitchell, Cady Coleman, and Dr. Brian O’Leary have all claimed sightings, with several citing official awareness and proof of alien life and cover-ups.
Buzz Aldrin has also commented about his personal experience on board Apollo 11 when they noticed something flying alongside them. At first, they believed it was the last stage of the separated rocket, but mission management verified it was 6000 miles distant.
The historic congressional UFO hearings:-
During a historic congressional hearing in July 2023, retired military officials presented several disturbing claims. Three witnesses testified under oath that the US administration knew far more regarding alien proof than it was putting on.
One of the important lines of investigation was video evidence of the famed ‘Tic-Tac’ UFO, which emerged in 2004 yet was not publicly revealed until 2017. Former Navy captain David Fravor, who originally noticed the item with three additional pilots, raised alarm about its apparent ‘supersonic’ technology. He said that the object vanished in front of their eyes before reappearing 60 miles away only seconds later.
David Grusch Said:-
David Grusch, who previously served as an Air Force intelligence officer, claimed that the authorities worked diligently to conceal data and intended to punish informants. He stated that, although he had never witnessed a UFO, a few of his peers and coworkers had been hurt by them. However, the most bizarre allegation Grusch stated was the fact that non-human ‘biologics’ had previously been retrieved from craft crash sites.
There is still a lot to learn from this historic hearing, but many individuals are more persuaded than ever that the authorities are covering up something.
Concluding Thoughts:-
The text highlights the increasing difficulty in maintaining disbelief in the existence of alien life, with advancements in technology and mathematical probability supporting the possibility.
The statement from Britain’s first astronaut, Helen Sharman, further asserts the existence of aliens, suggesting that they may already be among us but remain undiscovered.
The main point of the text is that while contemporary accounts of extraterrestrial encounters may be easily dismissed, ancient data such as the UFO painting ‘The Madonna with Saint Giovannino’ and references in ancient texts suggest a long history of belief in extraterrestrial life.
In a historic congressional hearing, retired military officials testified that the US administration had knowledge of proof of aliens beyond what was publicly disclosed, with claims including video evidence of the ‘Tic-Tac’ UFO and the retrieval of non-human ‘biologics’ from crash sites.

name: osiris matthews pronouns: he/him -cismale nickname: iris age: thirty-six fc: daniel sharman parents: father (unknown) mother (helen matthews) label: the sycophant (people pleaser/yes man) status: divorce (married from 18-25) job: wwner of "iris corner shop" mechanic shop. neighborhood: sycamore apartments hometown: juniper, wa
osiris was born to a single mother who had gotten pregnant when she was just 16. upon finding out she was pregnant her boyfriend had decided that he wasn't ready to be a father and from then on it was just her and her baby. helen had received help from a local women's shelter and the women there had helped her for her to finish and graduate high school. once she had graduated the shelter had helped her with budgeting and finding a place and his mother had found a small government home. it wasn't the best place in the world however it was a place for her and iris. growing up in the shelter until nearly high school.
growing up osiris was a good child. he didn't cry much and he was always wanting to help his mother when he could. he stayed out of trouble through grade school and when he was in high school he had met his high school sweetheart. a woman who didn't judge him despite where he had lived and what little he didn't have. after graduation the two had quickly married one another and she had moved into the housing with his mother and himself. iris had went to automotive program and when he was about 20 he had opened his own mechanic shop with every penny he and his mother had saved together.
being the owner of the shop iris had to hustle and work his ass off. which meant less time for him and his wife to be a proper married couple. it causes a lot of issues and eventually after seven years of a once beautiful marriage the two had just drifted apart. they remained friends seeing how iris struggled to be mean to literally anyone. with the divorce iris had finally decided it was time to leave his parents place. he wasn't getting any younger and when he was 25 he had moved into the sycamore apartments where he had been thus far.
osiris is a hard worker and is a doll. he tries to be a gentleman and does everything he can to help those around him. he spends a lot of time working in his shop and volunteering at local shelters to give back to the people who had once helped his mother. though iris is holding on to a pretty big secret he is hoping never gets out.

Astronautti uskoo, että avaruusolennot elävät keskuudessamme
Avaruusolennot eivät ole myytti vaan todellisuutta. Mutta ne eivät elä jossain kaukana avaruudessa, vaan ovat eläneet ihmisten keskuudessa jo pitkään. Niiden pääasiallinen piirre, josta ne erottaa, on kyky olla näkymätön missä tahansa olosuhteessa. Tämän takia monet eivät näe niitä. Tämä on varsin kova väite, jonka on esittänyt brittiläinen astronautti Helen Sharman. The Observer -lehden haastattelussa […] from _| Eksopolitiikka.fi |_ https://ift.tt/7TH2owu via IFTTT
