Black Cube in the Sahara

 
I've come across a strange video. The video itself is about 3I/Atlas and, like many of these publications, is factually ambiguous, shall we say, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2025/07/interstellar-object-portal.html. The last third of the upload is an aside about an entirely different subject. Somebody has supposedly found something interesting on Google Earth, an object on the ground that looks like a black cube. It is in a remote part of the Sahara Desert, although its exact location is unknown. Therefore it is impossible to confirm its presence on the resource or know how big it is, or many other details about it. It appears to be mobile and has connected to it what looks like a track in the sand. This curves to the right; and that makes it unlikely to be a lee feature caused by wind. Source: https://youtu.be/Cl_dsAo-LUY?si=W4Ctw-aaQkVqN4y5&t=1003. The narrator speculates about what it could be; an ET spaceship, an ancient building, a secret aircraft or something else to do with covert government operations. There are UFO sightings of objects shaped and coloured like that. The black cube has other symbolic and archetypal meanings in the region, or more precisely, the Middle East. The best example is the Kaaba, the black cube shaped structure which is the central focus of global Islam. It sits at the centre of the Masjid al-Haram, the biggest and most important mosque in the world. It is in Mecca, the most sacred city in the world for Muslims. The origins of the Kaaba are shrouded in mystery, but most Muslims believe it was built by Abraham. During the ceremonial Hajj, a huge number of people, sometimes several million at a time, will walk in circles around it. Those closest will touch the Kaaba and the "black stone" inside the inner sanctum that is said to be a meteorite. It supposedly has a footprint on it that is the last mark made on earth by the prophet Mohammed. It is considered too sacred to be subjected to laboratory analysis. Judaism also has black cube symbolism. It is a much smaller object called a tefillin and is a container for miniaturized passages of the Torah. They are worn by men around the arm or attached to the forehead by a headband. This is a very tenuous lead and it's likely we're looking at something fake, but I'm curious nonetheless. Similar anomalies have been found, and confirmed, in other remote areas of the world, such as Antarctica, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2015/04/crashed-ufo-in-antarctica.html.

Shermer's Vision

Michael Shermer has not always been a skeptic; or at least he has not been a skeptic in the way most of us mean it, a dedicated skeptic for whom being one is central to his identity. In 1979 he became a cycle racer and competed several times in the Race Across America, one of the world's longest and toughest cycle races. As its name suggests, it is a three thousand mile route from the west to east coasts of the United States. Unlike the Tour De France, it is a non-stop race, not split into stages, in which the riders sleep for about one hour in the middle of each night on a bed in their team truck. The entire route takes about eight days. Shermer came third in the 1982 event, his best performance. As I've said previously, Shermer's path to skepperhood is an interesting one. He was in the 1983 race cycling through the Loveland Pass in Colorado. He was extremely tired, as you can imagine, and also at a high altitude, about 11,000 feet. As a result he experienced an altered state of consciousness. Many people who suddenly have these experiences out of the blue turn to mystical beliefs as a way to explain it, but Shermer didn't. He thinks he immediately understood the episode for what it was and decided to learn about psychology. This is a very different reaction to Susan Blackmore, even though they both eventually ended up at the same place, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2010/10/tam-london-2010.html. I've discovered a remarkable historical document in the story of Michael Shermer. It's a news clip in which a young Shermer with a brown beard is interviewed in the saddle. It is later in the race because he's on a bridge across the river Mississippi and he describes his experience. He says: "A very strange thing happened; I mean, like a psychotic type experience. Thinking my crew were aliens from another planet trying to capture me. Sounds ridiculous, but that's what I thought." Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2_1DofIVqg. He also mentions the incident in this more recent video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zugGYmC6b00. Also he brings up another incident connected to one of his fellow cyclists. It's strange to think Michael Shermer might be taking the opposite path to Susan Blackmore, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-shermerlution-continues.html.

Ranging Needed on 3I/Atlas

 
Today Avi Loeb has reproduced some spectacular new photographs of 3I/Atlas; you can see one of them above. At the same time its unusual properties continue to pile up. There are now officially twelve anomalies. The most recent is the nature of the tails; they are not reacting to 3I's supposed rotation. This rotation was gauged pre-perihelion at 16.6 hours. There are only a few possibilities listed by Avi and the most likely is that the tails are the product of some kind of technology; thrusters a bit like human rockets. Personally what would really surprise me is if 3I did something normal! Source: https://medium.com/@avi-loeb/magnificent-images-of-jets-around-3i-atlas-e4ad8acc723c. It has occurred to me that maybe now is a good time for us to corroborate the distance between the earth and 3I/Atlas. Astronomers employ three different methods to work out how far away a heavenly body is. The first is used for distant stars and galaxies and it involves measuring how bright objects look which are known to have a "standard candle", a fixed absolute brightness level. The second is parallax, seeing how something's position shifts relative to more distant objects by taking measurements at different times of the year. The earth's rotation gives us a stereoscopic view of the universe. This works on planets and closer stars. The third method can only be used for asteroids and comets very close to the earth and that is radar ranging. This works the same as it does on earth with military or aviation primary radar, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2024/05/mh370-portal.html. Is 3I close enough for radar ranging, and if so has anybody done it? This may sound like an odd question, but I think it's worth carrying out this test just in case the object is actively manoeuvring to hide its true distance from the earth with forced perspective. This is an optical illusion that can be induced deliberately or can happen spontaneously. Artificial forced perspective is used in movie special effects, for example to make the hobbits and humans seem to be their true relative sizes in the Lord of The Rings films when the actors playing them are all ordinary sized people, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB8db3PMZ9s. The effect can occur naturally by accident when filming something moving from another moving position. This is what causes the strange incidence of aeroplanes standing still in the sky. They're often blamed on "glitches in reality", but they are in fact simply a moment of perfectly balanced forced perspective, see:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1MRaHjwfSM. Why would 3I/Atlas do this? Well, possibly so it could move closer to the earth without us noticing, or at least delaying the time when we are aware of its approach for as long as possible. If this is its current activity it might explain some of the other anomalies, like its rapidly increasing pulses of brightness. Therefore, I do recommend that astronomers do some radar ranging tests on 3I/Atlas until we are certain that it is indeed exiting the inner solar system as it is predicted to do.

GB News EVP

 
GB News is really the British equivalent of News Nation. It's a typical independent three-digit freeview news channel that was founded in 2020, quite recently. It has attracted a lot of controversy over the years that I've covered before, for example: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/05/gb-news-vs-ofcom.html. Like News Nation, it is not scared to delve into the world of the arcane, but it might have recently done just that inadvertently. On the 1st of this month a train from Doncaster to London had to make an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire because a man wielding a knife had gone on a rampage, stabbing the passengers and crew. The police arrested him and ambulances rushed to the station to treat the victims. Ten people were injured, most with life-threatening injuries. GB News reported on it and I like their style because, unlike the BBC and most mainstream outlets, they don't immediately start politicizing crimes like this; but then something strange happened. In the middle of a video segment narrated by a reporter, a whispering feminine voice can clearly be heard saying the words: "The train never stops." It appears at 5:46 in this recording: https://youtu.be/4ZdKjYjWtcE?si=g74Jalx5JQNvE2Fb&t=344. The reporter, Mark White, does not appear to hear it. When I first watched this I didn't notice it; and in fact I covered the stabbing incident on this Third Rail Radio episode without mentioning the voice: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2025/11/third-rail-radio-programme-227.html, which is ironic considering that project has itself experienced something similar, see the background links below. What happened sounds to me like an electronic voice phenomenon. EVP is one of the most common kinds of paranormal phenomena, but it is also one of the most inexplicable. Most EVP's are vague and full of noise, possibly being only interpreted as a voice afterwards, but this one is very clear and articulate; that's quite rare. I'll write to GB News and ask because I'm curious to know if this voice is unique to the YouTube upload or whether it also can be heard on the original broadcast tape. I'll write a follow-up if they reply.

HPANWO Cyberattack

 
There has been an attempt to hack the HPANWO web pages and my personal computers. I was engaged in my normal activity yesterday when I received a warning email that I had been locked out of all HPANWO platforms. This was not because the hack was successful; the opposite in fact. Luckily the system had detected the Trojan and secured my accounts before any changes to settings could be made. I was then advised to change my passwords and carry out an antivirus scan. I did both and my antivirus did indeed pick up the malware that had probably caused it. I use a subscription antivirus and I really recommend that; it is money very well spent. It's likely a free suite might not have spotted the danger. I'm using quite an old operating system, but I've enrolled in a special security extension until I upgrade my license permanently. I have everything backed up as well. As alarming as this experience has been, the fact that I know it happened is the good news. If a hack works the target will never find out until it's too late. This sort of thing has never happened to me before. Is there a reason why it happened now? Was it a person doing it deliberately? Probably not; these attacks are very often carried out on millions of users by automated systems. I'm now taking additional precautions and hopefully there will be no more trouble.

MH370 Possible New Search

 
Back in March there was a lot of excitement in the quest for the lost airliner Malaysia Airlines flight 370. Ocean Infinity had just begun its search in the best estimated area for the location of the wreck, the so-called "7th arc"; given that name because of the INMARSAT data. This search was hampered by two problems, the upcoming southern winter and the endurance of the ship. From April to November the southern Indian Ocean becomes very rough and cold. Storms and floating ice make locating and salvage impossible. OI's Armada 86-class vessels are very modern and capable, with facilities for deploying AUV's, robot submarines like the one illustrated above; but operating alone in mid-ocean without a network of supply ships last time meant it could only spend about a fortnight on station and it took almost as much time to get to and from port. See the background link below for details. As luck would have it Jeff Wise has a very reliable contact called Kevin Rupp who seems to know a lot of the private goings on at OI. Based on current operations and ship movements it is possible they are preparing to head for the MH370 search area in early December when the summer begins and the weather tends to me more clement, save the occasional typhoon. Source: https://www.deepdivemh370.com/p/seabed-search-update-s2ep41-video. Of course, like regular readers, I am well aware that Jeff has serious doubts that the missing aircraft really did crash into the Indian Ocean. Two of his fellow MH37-tologists, Florence de Changy and Ashton Forbes, agree with him; although Florence thinks the plane never left the Gulf of Thailand and Ashton believes it ended up at the Diego Garcia base. Jeff still feels positive about this new development because it's important to reduce the possibility that MH370 is there as much as possible; although you can never eliminate it. Hopefully we will learn more next month.
