Water on Mars

 
Liquid water has been discovered on the planet Mars. It has been known for a long time that a huge amount of water exists on Mars in the form on ice. The planet has ice caps at its pole similar to those on earth. The surface temperature is so low that there can be no exposed liquid water; however, what about below the surface? On earth there are bodies of liquid water within large bodies of ice known as sub-glacial lakes. The ice is warmed by pressure effects or volcanoes until part of it melts, such as Lake Vostok, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2012/02/lake-vostok-breached.html. Many scientists have wondered if the same is not possible on Mars. The answer has come from the ESA's Mars Express spacecraft. Large subglacial lakes have been found under the south polar icecap. The biggest is thirteen miles across and it is surrounded by several smaller ones. The discovery was made by analyzing radar data from the Mars Express' scans of the southern icecap. The scientists don't think the temperature is high enough at that location for pure water to be warmed enough to melt, so they suspect the water is mixed with several chemicals that act as a natural antifreeze, such as salt. The same question has arisen that did when Lake Vostok was explored; could there be life in those lakes? Liquid water is essential for earth life and so if Mars life is similar then, quite possibly. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-54337779. We know that in the distant past there was surface water on Mars. This means it must have had a much thicker atmosphere and it must have been far hotter. In an age when life on earth had yet to develop, Mars was rather like the present day earth. I think it's quite likely, as I detail in the background links below. I also am fairly sure life still exists on Mars, and that the space agencies are turning a blind eye to it. It is interesting that this story has emerged just a couple of weeks after the revelations about Venus did, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/09/life-on-venus.html. The person on social media who made me aware of this story tagged me with one word: "disclosure?". It does seem as if the concept of extraterrestrial life is being made more fashionable. Are we being given some kind of cultural and psychological immunization so we won't lose our excrement when some even bigger bombshell is dropped?

Save Project Blue Book!

 
I urge all HPANWO readers to sign the petition linked below. Despite positive developments and my prediction a few months ago, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/06/project-blue-book-season-three-ready.html, the third season of Project Blue Book still hasn't been picked up by a new platform. No doubt the COVID 19 pandemic is partly to blame for this, as it seems to be for everything at the moment. This programme is expertly produced, meticulously researched and has grown to be enormously popular. It will be a guaranteed success for any network that broadcasts it. You think they'd all be fighting over it. A petition has been launched that has no objective decision in mind. It is not directed to any particular station demanding that they screen the show, but it is still a very powerful reminder of the programme's recognition. At the time of writing it has 21,849 signatures, including my own. It needs 25,000 to be complete.

A Small Problem

 
The BBC has not always been as horrific as it is today. There was a time thirty or forty years ago when it occasionally delivered quality content. At one point the Beeb even had a great tradition in situation comedy. One part of this excellent range of sitcoms has sadly been forgotten. The only copy I could find was a poor quality conversion from an old and fuzzy home-recorded VHS, see: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ir1w4; (The subsequent five episodes will be on the recommended list.) however it is not so bad as to be unwatchable. This unknown 80's VHS user did the world a great service. A Small Problem ran for just a single season; the standard six half-hour episodes. During its brief incarnation on the screen it was enormously controversial. The BBC was inundated with complaints from viewers. I remember watching the media outrage at the time. One of the viewers was even interviewed by the media in a flood of tears. My grandmother was furious about the show and told me that I, a child at the time, should be ashamed of myself for watching it. However, even back then, I knew better. A Small Problem tells the story of Roy Pink, an ordinary middle class man from north London who one day comes home to find his house boarded up, his dog euthanized and his neighbours and former friends ostracizing him. You see, poor old Roy doesn't live in our world. He lives in a parallel universe where all people under a certain height are officially designated as second-class citizens known as "smalls". He is forced into a grotty slum in south London called Adelphi House where he lives in extreme poverty with other smalls. The smalls need special permission to leave their ghetto and have to carry a passbook around with them outside it. All police are armed with portable rulers to measure the height of members of the public to check whether or not they are smalls. Roy denies that he is a small; in fact his catchphrase throughout the series is: "I'm not a small!" Actually he never used to be because he is a touch short of five-foot-one and to be a small you have to be under five feet tall. However, with the rise of the European Union, then called the "European Economic Community", Britain switches to metric measurements and sets the small cut-off point at one metre fifty-five which when converted puts Roy just below that by a single centimetre. He is therefore reclassified as a small.
 
Roy Pink continuously appeals against the decision at the "Registry of Heights" and is constantly turned down. His brother George reluctantly disowns him, as does his sister-in-law Heather less reluctantly. He is forbidden from contacting his nephews and is subjected to constant harassment and humiliation by the police and non-small citizens. They hurl abuse at him with the epithets: "shrimpo!" and "midgeo!" The history of and the reason for this social segregation and discrimination is never revealed. Some of the smalls fight back, forming the SLF, Small Liberation Front. Their leader is a man called Howard played by the famous short actor Christopher Ryan who has starred in many comedies with Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. The SLF carry out direct action against the establishment that oppresses them. Roy refuses to integrate with his fellow residents, insisting over and over again that he is "not a small! They've made a mistake!" One of the inhabitants of Adelphi House is an elderly man called Fred who is the chairman of the "residents association". He is a bureaucratic man who has delusions of grandeur, holding pretentious meetings where his wife Lily keeps the minutes. In truth, Fred is a kapo. He collaborates with the government that regards him as subhuman and panders to the police, social workers and officials in the hope that they will favour him above his peers. He is an informant who passes on the private information of his fellow smalls and constantly praises the authorities no matter how brutal and unjust they are. In the end, like all such toadies, he is thrown under the bus as soon as he is no longer useful. Roy tries to keep in touch with George whose loyalties are torn between his suppressed affection for Roy and his loyalty to his domineering wife who is a typical small-hater. "But he is my brother!" is George's catchphrase. For Heather, karma comes knocking when her own son stops growing before he has reaches his "coming of height" party. Naturally she blames her husband for the "small genes" in his family that produced Roy. Even as a child, I could tell that A Small Problem was a blatant satire. In many societies around the world there is such social stratification. The Uyghurs in China are currently being treated like the smalls are in the series setting, and worse. The programme was made in 1986, a few years before the end of the Apartheid system in South Africa which clearly influenced it. There are numerous other examples. A Small Problem is a parody of such institutional human subjugation. It is also a warning for the future. For example, suppose Black Lives Matter ever managed to form a government; how do you think white people would be treated by such a regime? The answer can be seen in A Small Problem. The programme could be improved. The police and other officials are portrayed as Machiavellian. They are all universally cruel and narrow-minded. None of them ever try to justify the administration they serve or rationalize their role in it. I would have preferred to have seen a few deeper and more complex antagonists, people a bit more like George. I'd like one of them to have revealed some humanity in his interaction with the smalls. I'd like to hear him explain why he was "just doing my job, sir." or something like that. Nevertheless, this is an excellent TV series, saved from destruction by somebody with a video recorder in 1986 and Dailymotion in 2014. It is sad and disheartening that so many people failed to grasp the satirical nature of the show. Are British TV viewers not capable of more than one-dimensional thinking? I have taken an active step myself in preserving A Small Problem by mirroring it on my Facebook group Interesting Videos Public, see: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2818551025092896. Feel free to join; it is open to all.

Orfordness Lighthouse Demolished

 
I'm sad to report that the Orfordness Lighthouse has been knocked down. I've known for a while the distinctive landmark would eventually be swept away by the sea because of coastal erosion. However the original estimates were that it would have twenty or thirty years left. It would technically be possible to save the structure by building a seawall around it, but that would cost millions and I knew it was unlikely that work would be funded. The lighthouse was built in 1792 and so has been a familiar sight for generations of local people and visitors alike. Its height and the flatness of the surrounding geography means it stands out above the horizon for miles around. I'm pleased to say that some of the components have been saved and the Orfordness Lighthouse Trust that has been looking after it plans to build a smaller replica nearby. It is the end of an era. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-53735247. The lighthouse has become infamous from the late 20th century until now because it was falsely blamed for the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident. Skeptics made the patently absurd claim that US Air Force security had mistaken it for an unidentified flying object in the woods. Time has moved on, but this fable is still sometimes repeated, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/02/ian-ridpath-at-fortean-london.html. Today, UFOlogists are moving ahead, not needing the approval of fools and disinformation agents. The new film Capel Green is on the way which will prove that this case is active and open. I can't think of a better tribute to that sturdy lighthouse that braved the ocean waves for over two hundred years. See: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2019/01/new-2019-trailer-for-capel-green.html.

"Alien Robot" spotted at Area 51

 
The Express Online has reported that people it insists on calling "alien life conspiracy theorists" have spotted a supposed alien robot at Area 51. The secret military base in Nevada USA continuously attracts attention and inspires curiosity by its very covert nature, see background links below. In the attempt to draw as much data as possible out through the tiny informational peepholes available, remarkable claims are often made. In this case Scott Waring of the UFO Sightings Daily YouTube channel has pointed out two objects on the base that look like humanoid robots from a science fiction story. The objects are lying flat on the ground and are 55 feet and 32 feet tall respectively. They can be seen on Google Earth at the coordinates: 37°13'26.4"N 115°49'01.3"W. The satellite photo is quite recent. Source: https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1337382/ufo-sighting-giant-alien-robot-area-51-google-maps-photo-scott-waring, original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVFwo5b69LE. Despite the fact that the objects appear to have a rudimentary face, and two black eyes can be seen on one of them at the place that would correspond to a head; it is impossible to define exactly what these structures are from a Google Earth image. Interestingly an earlier image from 2009 shows a similar object in that place, but it is differently shaped. Scott thinks this might mean the robot was laid on its side. Alternatively it could simply be a collection of crates dumped on the ground in a certain way. Obviously we would not be permitted to enter Area 51 and see for ourselves, but there is a photo from the Dreamland Resort website that shows the same location. The spot is actually some distance from the main base buildings about half a mile southeast of the 2007 hangar that I report on in the background links below. It can be seen between the two white cylinders which are probably fuel bunkers, see: https://dlr.thexhunters.com/area51/aerial_0720_01.jpg. From this angle, none of the loose collection of structures looks like a robot. It wouldn't surprise me if there was an extraterrestrial mechanical monster at Area 51, but if it is then I expect its patrons are keeping it in a more secluded part of the base. It's always interesting when these stories emerge in the media. It is a optimistic sign. It shows that there is a rising level of public awareness towards Area 51 and its associated issues, such as Roswell etc; but sometimes researchers will mistakenly nominate something as being of UFOlogical interest when instead it actually has what Steve Mera calls "a rational explanation." This story has emerged on the first anniversary of Storm Area 51, see background links, and there had originally been a plan for a follow-up event called Alienstock; but unfortunately it has been cancelled because of the COVID 19 pandemic. Source: https://www.ktnv.com/news/alienstock-2020-canceled-due-to-covid-19-concerns-sponsorship-issues. This 2020 festival was not intended to involve any kind of attempted trespass on the Groom Lake facility. It was merely going to be a gathering where music would be played, merchandise would be sold on stalls, outdoor bars would serve drinks and UFO enthusiasts from around the world could gather, meet each other and make friends. Hopefully it will go ahead next year.

COVID 19 Truth Tour Day Ten- Oxford

 
The official video of the COVID 19 Truth Tour's Oxford event is available, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_LNwmvr7Nk.
A group of activists opposed to government policy on the coronavirus pandemic are doing a tour of the entire country lasting all of September. On Thursday the 10th they stopped off in my hometown of Oxford. It was a splendid afternoon where we had a lot of interesting conversations with people and handed out a lot of literature. Only four people hurled abuse at us, which is not bad for Oxford. Many people spoke on the public loudspeaker, including Mark Devlin and myself.
See here for my own coverage of the event: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2020/09/covid-19-truth-tour-oxford.html.
