3i/ATLAS object coming? Disclosure?


Why is 3i/ATLAS such a big deal? Is it a UFO?
3i/ATLAS
, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and previously as A11pl3Z, is an interstellar object, perhaps just a comet [16][17], discovered by the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) station. It follows an unbound, hyperbolic trajectory past the Sun [5][c]. It will come as close as 1.8 AU (astronomical units, nearly twice the distance of the Sun) from Earth.


Therefore, it poses no threat [18] to Earth unless it is a UFO mothership, vimana, or extraterrestrial technology such as a probe intentionally sent to monitor this sector and region of space. It is the third interstellar object confirmed passing through our Solar System, after 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov [19], hence the prefix "3i." It is not expected to brighten enough to become visible using binoculars or to the naked eye. During solar conjunction on Oct. 21, 2025 [f], it could be observed by the GOES-19 weather satellite [20]. More

  • (Vaimanika Shastra Shakuna)
    Vimānas
    are flying palaces or chariots described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics, which are disdainfully labelled "mythological." The Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana (who took it from Kubera, whereafter Rama returned it) is the most quoted example of a vimana. Vimanas are also mentioned in Jain texts, and Buddhist text contain a whole section on vimanas, talking about the karma that led beings to be reborn in or in possession of a vimana (space platform).
  • ETYMOLOGY: The Sanskrit/Pali word vimāna (विमान) means "immeasurable" (WQ). Monier Monier-Williams defines vimāna as "a chariot of the gods [the devas], any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace, and one kind is said to be seven stories high," and quotes the Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana as an example. It may denote any vehicle, especially a bier or a ship as well as a palace of an emperor, especially with seven stories [1]. Nowadays, vimāna, vimān, and bimān all mean "aircraft" in Indian languages. More


Physicist Avi Loeb reveals why Atlas/3i 'comet' might be hostile alien object | RISING+
(The Hill) Premiered Oct. 30, 2025: Harvard Physics Prof. Avi Loeb joins the show to discuss the recent finding of the interstellar object 3I Atlas. NASA insists it's just a normal comet, but Prof. Loeb believes it's worth discussing the possibility of it being a piece of alien technology. #AviLoeb #3IAtlas #SpaceAliens

Blue eyes are not blue: illusory gene


Asian born with blue eyes? Yes. "I'm not a fan of reality" (pinterest.co.uk)



Blue eyes go way back on Earth.
We all probably know a number of people who have blue eyes (and may even possess a pair ourselves), but just about 10,000 years ago, blue-eyed humans were unheard of. [What about snow dogs like malamutes and Egyptian cats?]

The Buddha's blue eyes from Central Asia
For a long time, all humans had brown eyes, until one northern European with a genetic mutation [brought on by alien hybrid breeding, mating, abduction, and genetic manipulation] brought a whole new look to the human eyeball [on this planet].
We come in peace and mean humans no harm.
To this day, every blue-eyed person is a descendant of that first azure-eyed [being]. [We're these the ETs who saw a human and said, "Come, let us make Man in our image, after Our likeness? Probably.]

In the Americas, anything is possible (Brazil)
Similar to skin color, eye color comes down to the amount of melanin, or pigment, that can be found in the iris. More melanin means darker eyes. And eyes that lack melanin in the first layer of the iris appear to be blue instead of brown.

In other words, blue eyes are not eyes that have blue pigment, they are eyes that lack brown pigment.

How does this happen? In 2008, researchers at the University of Copenhagen determined that people with blue eyes possess a genetic mutation that basically "turns off" the eyes' ability to create melanin. More

Disgusting police activity: beating, murder


(KCAL News) July 29, 2024: Video shows [abusive] LAPD officer punching handcuffed Black man [abusing him under color of authority] in South Los Angeles. The unnamed officer from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has been removed from field duty after punching a helpless man being detained with another armed officer on video [and is being considered for felony charges unless those who decide whether or not to charge him, his colleagues in the LAPD, find an excuse for the punch, show him the video, provide him no cost legal advice, coach him on what to say, take his statement only after consideration, reconsideration, and multiple opinions to form an airtight rationalization and justification that will stand up in any possible subsequent investigation or attempted civil litigation]. The video shows him punching the Black man he handcuffed after a simple traffic stop he allowed to escalate in his impatience and mistreatment of an uncharged citizen who is presumed innocent even if charged. He has not been suspended, fired, relieved of duty, or given anything worse than a cush assignment behind a desk indoors in an air conditioned office.


Renewed call for police reform after violent [implicitly biased] cop shoots woman who called 911 in the face in her home
Killer Kussin' Kop: "I'll f*cking shoot you right in your f*cking face." *BAM!*
.
(CBS News) July 27, 2024: This morning, there are renewed calls for police reform after a deputy shot and killed an Illinois woman who called 911 about a possible intruder in her home. The deputy, who has since been fired, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges. And new scrutiny has unveiled his checkered past.

Why do only 2% of people have green eyes?

The green eyes of Afghanistan were made famous by Afghan Girl Sharbat Gula
Green eyed Pashtun girl from Afghanistan, the Buddha's birthplace (ancient Gandhara)

What's the origin and reason for green eyes?

  • 0:00 Green Eyes
  • 1:11 The Green-Eyed People of China
  • 1:43 Genetics and Origins of Green Eyes
  • 6:22 Reason for Green Eyes
How to get green eyes greener: Makeup?
When and where did green eyes first develop and for what reason? Now green eyes are the rarest eye color, with only 2% of the entire world’s population having them.

As a general breakdown of eye color worldwide: Brown eyes: 70 to 80% Blue eyes: 8 to 10% Hazel eyes: 5% Amber eyes: 5% Gray eyes: 3% Green eyes: 2%.

People of European descent represent the largest share of those with green eyes -- but green eyes are not exclusive to them [seeming to originate in ET races and arising in hybrid human races] -- and they are most common in northern, western, and central Europe, more specifically, Ireland, Scotland, and other parts of northern Europe have the highest share of people with green eyes.
She was an innocent Afghan girl, 1984
Iceland is one, with around 8–10% of men and 18–21% of women having them, and in the Netherlands, 6% of men and 17% of women have green eyes.

In Europe more broadly, they're found in around 8 percent of the population. Among European Americans, green eyes are most common among those of Celtic and Germanic ancestry, at about 16%.

Even though they’re most common in Europe, people with green eyes can be found all over the world, even as far as remote parts of China. Liqian, a remote village in Western China, is known for its high percentage of people with green eyes and blond hair.
Yuezhi descended people, Liqian, China (theapricity.com)
One myth suggests they’re descended from Roman soldiers who got lost in China, but this is unproven. DNA results from 2010 that analyzed these villagers did indicate that they are almost two thirds of Caucasian origin [ignoring a potential ET connection], potentially lending support to this mundane Roman theory, but it’s still debated.
  • How to classify Yuezhi descended people of Liqian village, China? Are they "white" if they look it? Liqian is a small region in Gansu province in China where many locals have striking European features. Some locals have been told that they are descendants of a "lost Roman legion." They have tried to build a tourist industry around their looks, but their genetics more strongly supports ancestry from Scythians, Tocharians, or other Steppe Indo-European groups. They also have very hawk-like aquiline noses (theapricity.com).
Cause
Now what causes green eyes? Initially, scientists used to believe that eye color in general was decided by two genes — one from each parent. Now they know as many as 16 genes influence the amount of melanin produced by the iris, with the OCA2 and HERC2 genes heavily involved in eye color.

Melanin absorbs light, so irises with high amounts of melanin appear darker. These genes however interact in complex ways, and science is still trying to fully work out how this all works.

Inside Israeli Apartheid before Oct. 7th

Mondoweiss, May 5, 2022; Sheldon S., Seth Auberon, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Inside Israeli Apartheid
(Mondoweiss) For decades Palestinians have accused Israel of the crime of Apartheid, imposing two different systems on the land [of Palestine] between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea:

I never wanted peace. I wanted all this land!
One system privileges foreign Jews (particularly European Ashkenazi Jews to the detriment of Mizrahi or Middle Eastern Jews, Sephardic or Hispanic Jews, African or dark-skinned Jews, Ultra-Orthodox or Neturei Karta and other old-time, established Jews who have lived peacefully in Palestine (particularly in Jerusalem, in the Mea Shearin neighborhood, who are keenly interested in following Talmudic law and reading and studying the Torah or Old Testament), AND there's another one that discriminates against indigenous Palestinians (whether Arabian, European, Christian, or even Jewish).

Now, the rest of the world is catching up. In the past year, the leading global and Israeli human rights groups have joined their Palestinian counterparts in calling Israel an Apartheid state. From the illegally "Occupied Territories" of Palestine (West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza) to Palestinian communities inside Israel, this is a look Inside Israeli Apartheid.

عقود من الزمان ، اتهم الفلسطينيون إسرائيل بجريمة الفصل العنصري ، وفرضوا نظامين مختلفين على الأرض الواقعة بين نهر الأردن والبحر الأبيض المتوسط: أحدهما يميز اليهود والآخر يميز ضد الفلسطينيين. الآن ، بقية العالم يلحق بالركب. في العام الماضي ، انضمت مجموعات حقوق الإنسان العالمية والإسرائيلية الرائدة إلى نظرائهم الفلسطينيين في تسمية إسرائيل دولة الفصل العنصري. من الضفة الغربية المحتلة والقدس الشرقية وغزة إلى المجتمعات الفلسطينية داخل إسرائيل ، هذه نظرة داخل الفصل العنصري الإسرائيلي.

Depuis des décennies, les communautés palestiniennes accusent Israël de crime d'apartheid, en imposant deux systèmes différents sur les terres situées entre le Jourdain et la mer Méditerranée : un système qui privilégie les Juifs·ves, et un autre qui discrimine les Palestinien·ne·s. Maintenant, le reste du monde rejoint le mouvement. L'année dernière, les principaux groupes mondiaux et israéliens de défense des droits humains ont rallié leurs homologues palestiniens pour qualifier Israël d'État d'apartheid. De la Cisjordanie occupée, de Jérusalem-Est et de Gaza aux communautés palestiniennes à l'intérieur d'Israël, voici un aperçu de l'apartheid israélien.

Ahora, el resto del mundo se está poniendo al día. El año pasado, los principales grupos de derechos humanos mundiales e israelíes se unieron a sus homólogos palestinos para llamar a Israel un estado de apartheid. Desde Cisjordania ocupada, Jerusalén Este y Gaza, hasta las comunidades palestinas dentro de Israel, esta es una mirada al interior del apartheid israelí.

Hi, I'm Gary Larson. I went bald up front from thinking up all these great gags.

Yeah, Doug, but what kind of life?
Gary Larson's The Far Side is known for its surreal humor and morbid perspective, including several comics where no human is left standing.

Whether taken out by space aliens, big animals, or their own hubris (overarching pride), humans are just another animal trying to get by in an often hostile world.

The people of The Far Side are prone to apocalyptic levels of foolishness, often reflecting the (hopefully) less lethal foibles of the comic strip's millions of fans.

Here are the 10 best The Far Side comics where -- for a truly impressive variety of reasons -- no human makes it out alive. Some are iconic, some underappreciated, but in each case, Larson leaves no room for doubt that his human characters aren't long for this world. More
