We propose a vehicle which employs no moving parts and assures near instanteous response time with 360 degrees maneuverability.
Goal: Fundamental development in the plasma based flow actuation using atmospheric medium: (a) to improve at least an order of magnitude in thrust generation; (b) to improve at least an order of magnitude in power/weight ratio.
This is a proposal of the Applied Physics Research Group, Computational Plasma Dynamics Laboratory and Test Facility, at the University of Florida, USA.
Proponemos un vehículo que no emplea partes en movimiento y asegura un tiempo de respuesta casi instantánea con una maniobrabilidad de 360 grados.
Objetivo: Desarrollo fundamental en el flujo de actuación basado en plasma usando el medio atmosférico: (a) para mejorar por lo menos un orden de magnitud en la generación de empuje; (b) para mejorar por lo menos un orden de magnitud en la razón energia/peso.
Esta es una propuesta del Grupo de Investigación de Física Aplicada, del Laboratorio Computacional de Dinámica del Plasma y Banco de Pruebas de la Universidad de Florida, EUA.
On October 18, 2010, in YouTube, our UAPSG member Milton Hourcade, started a new experience and a series of presentations under the title “Unusual Aerial Phenomena: Speaking Clearly”.
What could be seen now is just a sample of what would be probably a total of 12 or 15 presentations that will appear periodically in YouTube.
There are a lot of things to be said and showed, all with the purpose to illustrate and educate the public.
Please share these news in your social networks and everywhere it is possible.

The serious and dedicated Chilean journalist Diego Zuñiga, a UAPSG member, is writing to let us know some news that from this pages we salute wishing a total success. Diego prepared for us this report that we reproduce here and we take the opportunity to invite him to continue writing for our blog.
Four years should have gone for La Nave de los Locos to return to sail along the then turbulent but now boring oceans ofUfology. The magazine, this photocopied bulletin that some of you had the
fortune or misery of reading between 2000 and 2006, disappeared for boredom, for lack of time, because maybe it seemed that there was nothing more to reach. But La Nave comes back. The deliriums continues and it's time to open windows and wait for more air, and wait to show another faces of reality.
And it is no more a collection of papers, but it is a book with 173 pages, covers of brilliant paper, interior pages of beautiful opaque tone. With a renewed design, our magazine-book opens a new stage in its existence with a dossier on the actual situation of Ufology. Has this thing a future? Or maybe the Martians are bored of coming to our planet just to hammer his silvered flying saucers? There are articles written by the British investigator John Rimmer, his colleague Jenny Randles, the
Spanish specialist Manuel Borraz, and the Nave’s editors, Zúñiga y Sánchez.
Though this issue is basically about UFOs, there is material on another topics. Alejandro Borgo, representative in Argentina of CSI (http://www.csicop.org), tells us about an atheist meeting in Mar del Plata, Argentina. Also we can read an article of Crystian Sanchez about prophecies. Marcos González talks us on tarot. In addition, two interviews: one of them to Spanish anthropologist Ignacio Cabria and the other one to Chilean ufologist Willy Wolf, co writer of “Los sin nombre”. Also the Chilean sociologist Rigoberto Muñoz gives us his text about the poor level of Chilean ufologists.
Another text talks about UFOs during the past Chilean earthquake on February 27th about a Mexican who said he was in Venus and even wrote a book about his “experience”. Other article deals with cattle mutilations and economic crisis in Argentina. Other one speaks about Mr. Luis
Altamirano, a well-respected Chilean ufologist who tries to recover of a disease, and finally, a deep view of French specialist Claude Maugé about UFOs and a reductionist theory.
La Nave de los Locos (“Cuadernos de Ufologia” 2002 Prize) has been an open book for all kind of opinions and now there will be no difference. It is, of course, a skeptical publication, but we don’t make proselytism, but we show the other face, which is our view of reality. In this way, we are open
to collaborations, letters and hate too. You can know more about all of this visiting our official website, http://www.lanavedeloslocos.cl; also review our periodical updates in our blog http://navelocos.blogspot.com; and if you like, you could also buy our magazine here: http://www.lulu.com/product/tapa-blanda/la-nave-de-los-locos-n%c2%b0-37/12107110

El dedicado y serio periodista chileno Diego Zúñiga, miembro del GEFAI, nos escribe para darnos a conocer una noticia que desde estas páginas saludamos con el deseo de total éxito. Sobre el particular, Diego nos preparó este informe que aqui reproducimos, y le invitamos a que siga escribiendo para nuestro blog.
Debieron pasar cuatro años para que La Nave de los Locos volviera a navegar por las turbulentas, aunque ahora último un poco aburridas, aguas de la ufología. La revista, ese boletín fotocopiado que algunos tuvieron la fortuna o desdicha de leer entre los años 2000 y 2006, desapareció por aburrimiento, por falta de tiempo, porque quizás parecía que no había nada más que aportar. Pero La Nave volvió. Los delirios siguen ahí y va siendo tiempo de abrir más ventanas para que entre aire y se conozca la otra cara de la moneda.
Y ya no es un montón de hojas corcheteadas, ahora La Nave de los Locos es derechamente un libro. Con 173 páginas, empaste de lujo, tapa de papel brillante, hojas interiores de hermoso tono opaco. Con un diseño renovado, abre una nueva etapa en su existencia con un dossier sobre el estado actual de la ufología. ¿Tiene futuro esa cosa? ¿Se hartaron los marcianos de venir a nuestro planeta a martillar sus naves plateadas? Ahí firman el investigador inglés John Rimmer, la ufóloga británica Jenny Randles, el especialista español Manuel Borraz, y los editores de La Nave, Zúñiga y Sánchez.
Aunque se trata básicamente de un número dedicado a los OVNIS, hay material sobre otros temas. Alejandro Borgo, representante en Argentina del CSI (http://www.csicop.org), cuenta sobre un encuentroateo en Mar del Plata. También podemos ver un texto de Crystian Sánchez sobre las profecías de Primer Plano. Marcos González habla de tarotismo y escasos aciertos. Además, dos entrevistas adornan elcontenido. Una al reconocido antropólogo español Ignacio Cabria (autorde dos libros vitales para entender el desarrollo de la ufología en ese país, “Entre ufólogos, creyentes y contactados” y “Ovnis y ciencias humanas”) y otra a Willy Wolf, ufólogo chileno que coescribió “Los sin nombre”. El sociólogo chileno Rigoberto Muñoz aporta una mirada descarnada del nivel intelectual de algunos ufólogos de nuestro país.
Otros textos hablan de OVNIS durante el terremoto del pasado 27 de febrero, de un señor mexicano que dijo que estuvo en Venus y hastaescribió un libro sobre eso, de la posible relación entre la aparición de vacas muertas y la crisis en Argentina del año 2002, de Luis Altamirano, respetado investigador que intenta recuperarse de una enfermedad. Todo redondeado con una profunda mirada del experto francés Claude Maugé sobre la teoría reduccionista de los OVNIS.
La Nave de los Locos (que recibió el Premio “Cuadernos de Ufología 2001” y cuyos artículos fueron traducidos a diversos idiomas), mientras estuvo volando por ahí, fue una vitrina para que todos pudiesen expresar sus opiniones. Ahora no será distinto. Es, claro, una publicación de marcado carácter escéptico, pero respetuosa de opciones distintas. Nuestro objetivo no es pretender “educar” al lector en el “camino correcto”, sino mostrar otras opciones de pensamiento, que nosotros consideramos mejores. Estamos abiertos a colaboraciones, opiniones, cartas, escupitajos y diatribas furibundas.
Para eso sacamos esta revista. Por algo estamos a bordo de La Nave de
los Locos.
Usted puede saber más de todo esto visitando nuestro sitio web oficial, http://www.lanavedeloslocos.cl; también puede estar a tanto de actualizaciones más periódicas en el blog de la revista, en http://navelocos.blogspot.com; si se entusiasma, puede comprar las 173 páginas bellamente empastadas en la página web española Lulu:

The following is an article published by SCIENCE magazine.SCIENCE – AAAS – American Association for the Advancement of ScienceRecently Discovered Habitable World May Not Existby Richard A. Kerr on 12 October 2010, 3:53 PM |Two weeks ago, U.S.-based astronomers announced the discovery of the first Goldilocks planet circling another star: just the right size and just the right temperature to harbor alien life. But yesterday at an exoplanet meeting in Turin, Italy, Switzerland-based astronomers announced that they could find no trace of the prized planet in their observations of the same planetary system.All the excitement has been over the subtlest of wiggles in the motion of the star Gliese 581 that lies just 20 light-years from the sun in the direction of the constellation Libra. A consortium of institutions led by the Observatory of Geneva in Switzerland had already discovered four planets circling Gliese 581 by sorting out the subtle motions of the star that are induced by the gravitational tugs of any orbiting planets.On 29 September, a U.S.-based team led by astronomer Steven Vogt of the University of California, Santa Cruz, announced that it had discovered a fifth planet. The American team used a combined set of observations: One 11-year-long set consisted of 122 measurements made by the team, while the other set was 4.3 years long and consisted of 119 measurements published by the consortium.Designated Gliese 581g, the new planet has at least three times the mass of Earth—large enough to hold on to a watery atmosphere—and orbits at a distance from its star that would allow any water to remain liquid. That would make 581g a happy home for life as we know it.But at this week's Astrophysics of Planetary Systems meeting, astronomer Francesco Pepe of the Geneva Observatory and the Swiss group reported that he and his colleagues could find no reliable sign of a fifth planet in Gliese 581's habitable zone. They used only their own observations, but they expanded their published data set from what the U.S. group included in its analysis to a length of 6.5 years and 180 measurements. "We do not see any evidence for a fifth planet ... as announced by Vogt et al.," Pepe wrote Science in an e-mail from the meeting. On the other hand, "we can't prove there is no fifth planet." No one yet has the required precision in their observations to prove the absence of such a small exoplanet, he notes.Astronomer Paul Butler, a member of the U.S. team who is at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., says he can't comment on the Swiss work because he wasn't at the meeting and the data are unpublished. He notes, however, that more observations will likely be needed to solidify the existence of Gliese 581g. "I would expect that on the time scale of a year or two this should be settled."

THE PHRASE
"I have come to support less and less the idea that UFOs are 'nuts and bolts' spacecrafts from other worlds. There are just too many things going against this theory. To me, it seems ridiculous that super intelligences would travel great distances to do relatively stupid things like stop cars, collect soil samples, and frighten people. I think we must begin to re-examine the evidence. We must begin to look closer to home." Dr. Joseph Allen Hynek
