Not a bad fake as it goes, love the way it flips and rises at the end.

You reckon? Hearing the aircraft noises at the exact moment they fly past the UFO was a bit of a give away like.

First look at the MARSIS radar data for Phobos

 

 

 

I have just received the following information from Andrea Cicchetti of the MARSIS radar team. Congratulations to all of those involved; I look forward to the full analysis. -- Stuart

 

MARSIS, the radar aboard the Mars Express orbiter, has successfully observed Phobos again. MARSIS is a multi-frequency, synthetic aperture, orbital sounding radar that operates in the range 1.3-5.5 MHz with a 1 MHz bandwidth.

 

The closest flyby in which MARSIS operated during this fruitful Phobos season took place on March 7th 2010, during the 7915th orbit of Mars Express, when the orbiter reached a minimum distance from the surface of Phobos of about 112 km. For instrument safety reasons, the radar software blocks operations when the target is closer than 240 km. Therefore the team had to devise a new set-up of the main navigation parameters, allowing them to reduce the minimum operational distance down to 175 km, while maintaining a high level of safety for the instrument’s hardware.

 

During this flyby, MARSIS successfully collected 6478 echoes from Phobos in just 72 seconds. The carrier frequency was centred at 4.0 MHz with a 1 MHz bandwidth. Taking advantage of the instrument’s internal mass-memory facility, it was possible to store and then downlink the raw unprocessed echoes.

After the ground-processing of science data, it was found that the radar worked successfully during the flyby. The figure above shows echoes reflected by Phobos as the highest peak in the signal, clearly above the noise level. Scientific analysis of the results is still ongoing. The main quest is the determination of the origin of detected echoes: are they reflections from various surface features of Phobos, or have they been produced by the internal structure of the moon?

 

The MARSIS radar was originally designed solely for the observation of Mars. However, thanks to the Italian operations team, working in collaboration with the international instrument science team, it was possible to re-configure it to allow the observation of Mars’ moon Phobos, a unique target, thereby expanding the scientific capabilities of the mission.

 

In the first phase of the data analysis, the main goal was to validate a new operative configuration of the onboard software and hardware. The scientific analysis of existing and future data will provide us with new and unique insights on the nature of Phobos’ interior.

Russian president asked to investigate alien claims

Richard Galpin

BBC News, Moscow

 

Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, leader of the Kalmykia region

Mr Ilyumzhinov made the claims in a TV interview

 

A Russian MP has asked President Dmitry Medvedev to investigate claims by a regional president that he has met aliens on board a spaceship.

 

Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the leader of the southern region of Kalmykia, made his claim in a television interview.

 

MP Andre Lebedev is not just asking whether Mr Ilyumzhinov is fit to govern.

 

He is also concerned that, if he was abducted, he may have revealed details about his job and state secrets.

 

The MP has written a letter to Mr Medvedev raising a list of his concerns.

 

In his letter he says that - assuming the whole thing was not just a bad joke - it was an historic event and should have been reported to the Kremlin.

 

He also asks if there are official guidelines for what government officials should do if contacted by aliens, especially if those officials have access to state secrets.

 

Mr Ilyumzhinov said in an interview on primetime television that he had been taken on board an alien spaceship which had come to planet Earth to take samples - and claims to have several witnesses.

 

He has been president of Kalmykia, a small Buddhist region of Russia which lies on the shores of the Caspian Sea, for 17 years.

 

The millionaire former businessman has a reputation as an eccentric character.

 

As president of the World Chess Federation, he has spent tens of millions of dollars turning the impoverished republic into a mecca for chess players - building an entire village to host international tournaments.

That Russian guy should go on holiday with Michael Knighton. Personally, I think he had a shitload of vodka and weird mushroos and watched Star Trek.

 

I can imagine the aliens pissing themselves laughing at the ropey Russian women with their badly bleached hair, going to the market with their mulleted and shellsuited husbands in some shitty excuse for a car.
