This month, NASA engineer Eric Stackpole hiked to a spot in Trinity County, east of California’s rough Bigfoot country. Nestled at the base of a hill of loose rock, peppered by red and purple wildflowers, is Hall City Cave. For part of the winter the cave is infested with large spiders, but is mostly flooded year-round. Locals whisper the cave’s deep pools hold a cache of stolen gold, but Mr. Stackpole isn’t here to look for treasure.

He had, under his arm, what might appear to be a clunky toy blue submarine about the size of a lunchbox. The machine is the latest prototype of the OpenROV–an open-source, remotely operated vehicle that could map the cave in 3D using software from Autodesk and collect water in places too tight for a diver to go.

It could change the future of ocean exploration.

For now, it is exploring caves because it can only go down 100 meters. But it holds promise because it is cheap, links to a laptop, and is available to a large number of researchers for experimentation. . . . Read Complete Report

Once upon a time, an ancient city in China was named Lion City because Five Lion Mountain loomed large behind it. The city, also known as Shi Cheng, has been buried beneath the water for 53 years. Like the lost Incan City of Machu Picchu was ‘rediscovered,’ so was this lost underwater city that had been founded about 1,300 years ago. Lion City is now located about 85 – 131 feet (26-40 meters) beneath the gorgeous Thousand Island Lake (Qiandao Lake). This valley was submerged when a dam was constructed and a lake was needed. The lake and thousands of islands were man-made. Shi Cheng ‘defied’ the Chinese norm since 5 gates and 5 towers were built into the city instead of 4. Lion City is about the size of 62 football fields. International archaeologists and a film crew recorded the amazing preservation of the lost ‘ruins.’ [23 Photos, 2 Videos] . . .

TAMPA (CBS Tampa) — Did Capt. Nemo ever see anything like this when he was “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea”?

A mysterious creature was caught by underwater cameras recently during deep-sea drilling near the United Kingdom.

The camera catches the giant blob – which looks brown in color and appears to have scales — floating around, with organs and appendages sticking out, something rarely ever seen before.

So … should we be afraid of this new sea creature and will it take over the world? . . . Read Complete Report

Alien Race Built Mysterious Underwater City (w/video)

When we think of our closest neighbors, the Co-Planetarians, we usually think of the lands found inside our planet. But actually the most obvious places on earth for the abode of home-bred-aliens is the water which covers 2/3 of the blue planet. Oceans, seas, lakes and rivers have long been associated with UFO and other activities that defies explanation.  It’s really exciting when explorers of the still unknown areas of our planet find evidence of a long gone civilization.  Will this “lost” city answer questions about mankind’s lost history?    We shall keep you informed of developments. In the mean time,Enjoy! . . EDITOR

Said to ‘mystify’ experts, a sprawling, ancient city lies deep underwater off the Japanese coast. Who built it? How old is it? What do the strange symbols carved into some of the stone monoliths mean? Evidence suggests that the enigmatic citythat includes a pyramidmay have been built by a race of alien giants long before the history of Mankind was written. . .

A Nasa satellite has provided jaw-dropping pictures of a huge ‘storm’ brewing under the sea.

The swirling mass of water – which measures a whopping 93 miles wide – has been spotted off the coast of South Africa by the Terra satellite on December 26.

But there’s no need to alert international shipping, or worry about the poor fish that might find themselves in an endless washing cycle – the body of water poses no threat. . . . Read Complete report

Underwater Towns

Ever since I saw the movie “In Dreams” (awesome scary movie with Annette Bening and Robert Downey Jr) with a scene of divers diving in a lake where a town was underneath, swimming amongst headstones and a church, I have been fascinated with the idea of abandoned sunken ghost towns. . . continue w/videos

NEW THEI Series: Exploring Americas Outback ~ Adventure #1 Hiking Up Surprise Canyon to Panamint City Ghost Town

I have been enjoying these “travel” videos for awhile and decided that some of our viewers might enjoy them as much as I do.

In this day of the elitist crying about “overpopulation” and the need for getting rid of the “useless oxygen users” some people need to realize that our great country is not crowded wall to wall with people.  In fact not only are there thousands of uninhabited regions in our country, but there are also hundreds, if not thousands, of places where people once lived and worked but have since abandoned for one reason or another.  It’s these places we will explore in this series.

 I hope you enjoy this new series as much as I will enjoy searching for new off-the-wall and hard to reach places for us armchair explores to visit with our more ambitious YouTube hosts.  Much thanks to those like “Wonder Hussy” who go to great links to make these videos available on YouTube.  Enjoy! . . .

A VERY strenuous hike to a super-remote ghost town in the Panamint Mountains. Many structures and artifacts remain, both from the mining days and from the hippies that moved in later. A fascinating place, but a REALLY TOUGH HIKE!!

Did CERN Created Black Hole Inside Earth? City Swallowed, Millions Sinkholes Opened, Ocean Drops

Did CERN Created Black Hole Inside Earth? City Swallowed, Millions Sinkholes Opened, Ocean Drops

Did CERN Created Black Hole Inside Earth? City Swallowed, Millions Sinkholes Opened, Ocean Level Drops. Everything you are about to see is real. This is Kryan Channel Most Serious Video. Something never seen before is happening. Millions of giant sinkholes opened around the globe within the past few years. Yes, you heard it right – millions. Some blamed weather, some stated that hollow earth theory is proven, some said that CERN created a mini black hole inside Earth, some blamed aliens from outer space, others demons from hell. I thought its because of excessive fracking and mining and I went to the oil rig to investigate only to be proven wrong because sinkholes seemed to evenly distributed around the world and not concentrate around fracking and mining places. Russian Siberia, Brazilian Jungle, Frozen Antarctica and African Sahara have thousands of new sinkholes open without any fraking or mining there. I talk to the engineer in charge of multi million dollar seabed mining sonar vessel who has PhD is geophysics. He told me that what we are seeing on earth is just the tip of the iceberg, for one sinkhole opening on earth there are at least 4 underwater according to his sonar and this process accelerated geometrically within the last couple of years. I asked him what he thinks causing it. He looked at me and said – the only logical explanation is that CERN created mini Black Hole inside Earth. However, I disagreed with him I have discovered something even scarier than a black hole inside Earth created by CERN. Hold your breath, but first watch how those monsters are decimating our planet. Here is what is happening now. Scientists predicted that ocean level will rise by 2 feet by 2020 comparatively to 1900s because of Global Warming. Instead, we are seeing almost 1 foot drop. We have a grotto in San Francisco beach near Seal Rocks that was only possible to reach during the lowest tide in 1990s without getting wet. I used to wait for the low tide to go there. Now it is assessable during any tide 24/7. Moreover, last month I was able to reach Seal Rocks by feet – it was never possible before. Where all the water gone? The thing is that we live on the aging planet and its core is cooling, shrinking and contracting, forcing magma to retreat deeper, leaving hollow spaces inside the earth crust into the newly formed cracks and reservoirs. The ocean water occupies these newly formed sinkholes and spaces also draining down closer to earth magma, exposing more of the ocean floor. New islands forming in the ocean and more land getting exposed. This island just raised from the ocean in Caribbean within a couple of years and don’t even have a name yet. The earth crust also cooling, shrinking and contracting forming new cracks and sinkholes. And this process accelerated in geometrical progression within the last few years. In time all water will be drained from the Earth surface and Earth will be resembling Mars. But before that and very soon, probably within your lifetime, something very dramatic will happen that will create an extinction event similar to the one that happened 250 million years ago. Permian–Triassic extinction. It was the worst in all history because almost 99% of species were lost forever and 99.9% of all earth life went extinct. Life today descended from 1% of the surviving species. As it is today, earth core started to cool down and earth crust cracked like a boiled eggs with trillions gallons of cold ocean water pouring inside newly formed earth cavities and once they reached hot magma – the volcanic magma explosion was so powerful that pieces of the planet were literally thrown to outer space. Possibly, visions some of you including me having of the receded ocean and miles of empty ocean floor exposed are about to come true. All those sinkholes are just the beginning of the end, much bigger fissures are opening at the ocean floor. Once one will be big enough the earth curst will crack again around its ring of fire like a boiled egg. The volcanic magma explosion like hit of 10 mile wide asteroid will create nearly life all on earth following by world earthquake magnitude 12 or higher and 5,000 feet tall tsunami. Why now? Why those sinkholes, cracks and fissures formation skyrocketed within the last few years? Why Earth waited 250 million years? Perhaps, it’s a coincidence, perhaps, it’s a karma for human mistreating its mother earth, perhaps it’s the answer to Biblical prophecy of apocalypse, perhaps, it’s the theory that Earth his the one large organism who has it’s ways to get rid of any invading parasitic species once they overdevelop, perhaps, it’s the answer why we cannot find many developed alien civilizations around us, perhaps, it is all together. We might never know for sure, but the fact is we are being terra-formed from the inside. And by the time it took you watch to this point of the video 11 new sink holes opened around the planet.

Life Might Exist At The Deepest Point On Earth, And What That Means For Aliens On Mars

Life Might Exist At The Deepest Point On Earth, And What That Means For Aliens On Mars

Scientists may have found evidence of life underneath the deepest point in the ocean, and that could be good news for anyone hoping to discover aliens on other planets.

It’s not life forms themselves that the researchers dug up, rather it is organic matter that could have been created by a microbe of some kind. They found those traces in samples of rock that came from a point beneath the seafloor near the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench, the lowest underwater point on Earth. “We cannot pinpoint the exact origin of the organic matter,” their study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences says, but it is entirely possible that life exists down there. . .

Summary:
Researchers are closer to creating underwater robotic creatures with a brain of their own — besides behaving like the real thing. In the near future, it would not be too tall an order for the team to produce a swarm of autonomous tiny robotic sea turtles and fishes for example, to perform hazardous missions such as detecting nuclear wastes underwater or other tasks too dangerous for humans. . . .
