• China’s prototype space station, launched in 2011, is out of control and will crash somewhere on the Earth before the end of the year.
• The space station measures 34 feet and weighs 8.5 tons.
• Chunks as large as 220 lbs may hit the Earth.
• Controlled spacecraft are typically guided to crash in a 2.5 mile-deep spot in the Pacific Ocean, 3000 miles east of New Zealand, known as the “spacecraft cemetery” where more than 263 derelict spacecraft have been dumped.
• China currently has a second space station in orbit and plans to have a permanent space station by 2020.
Sometime within the next few months, the heavens will come crashing down.
Tiangong 1, which translates to “Heavenly Palace,” is China’s first space laboratory, launched in September 2011, serving as a prototype for a permanent space station that it aims to eventually build and launch. But six years after it first went into orbit, the 8½-ton laboratory is soon expected to meet a fiery and uncontrolled end, hurtling down to Earth and crashing somewhere — anywhere — on the planet.
In September 2016, Chinese officials confirmed that they had lost control of the space lab and that it would crash into Earth sometime in the latter half of 2017. In May, China told the United Nations that the lab would reenter Earth between October and April 2018.
Much of the space lab, which measures 34 feet in length, is expected to burn up during its reentry. But Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist from Harvard University, told the Guardian that pieces weighing up to 220 pounds could make it to the Earth’s surface.
Where exactly the craft will fall is anyone’s guess. Even slight changes in atmospheric conditions can alter the landing site “from one continent to the next,” McDowell told the Guardian.
“You really can’t steer these things,” he said. “Even a couple of days before it reenters, we probably won’t know better than six or seven hours, plus or minus, when it’s going to come down. Not knowing when it’s going to come down translates as not knowing where it’s going to come down.”
Uncontrolled crashes of larger spacecraft, while rare, have happened before. The Soviet Salyut 7 space station crashed to Earth in 1991, while NASA’s Skylab space station fell over Western Australia in 1979.
China launched Tiangong 2, its second experimental station, in September 2016. China is aiming to have a permanently manned space station in orbit by 2020.
The 2011 launch of Tiangong 1 was seen by some as a “potent political symbol” that marked an important step forward in China’s expanding space program. It was regarded as a geopolitically significant event, part of China’s broader space program through which it wants to assert its emergence as a new superpower.

• Trump wants to return astronauts to the Moon by 2020, shifting the focus away from Obama’s Mars agenda.
• Trump wants to establish a lunar base, or an orbiting “cislunar” base, before heading to Mars.
• Mars proponents worry that we’ll get stuck on the Moon.
• India’s space program plans to visit the Moon next year.
• Both Russia and China plan to visit the Moon by the 2030’s.
• The European Space Agency envisions building a “moon village.”
• NASA wants to send the Lunar Rover to the back-side of the Moon.
• They all might be very surprised by what they find on the dark side of the Moon.
Rumors that the Trump administration was more interested in the moon than Mars began circulating days after the inauguration. Leaked memos published in February revealed the president’s advisers wanted NASA to send astronauts there by 2020, one part in a bigger plan to focus on activities near Earth rather than missions deeper in the solar system. Vice President Mike Pence spoke vaguely of a return to the moon in a speech in July. In September, the administration nominated a NASA chief who extolled the construction of lunar outposts. All signs pointed to a significant shift in the country’s Mars-focused space agenda of the last seven years.
This week, the Trump administration made it official.
“We will return NASA astronauts to the moon—not only to leave behind footprints and flags, but to build the foundation we need to send Americans to Mars and beyond,” Pence said Thursday at the inaugural meeting of the National Space Council, an advisory body his administration recently revived.
The vice president’s comments marked a pivot from Barack Obama’s directive for a “Journey to Mars,” established in 2010, and harkens to the aspirations set forth by the George W. Bush administration. The Obama administration had maintained that some kind of human activity in cislunar space—the region between the Earth and the moon—was necessary to test technology for a mission to Mars, but the efforts would amount to a pit stop, not a destination. While Pence did not provide details on what kind of “foundation” Americans would build on the moon, the new direction was clear: Americans should be spending more time in their cosmic backyard before flying off into the solar system.
“It’s a 180-degree shift from no moon to moon first,” said John Logsdon, a space-policy expert and former director of the Space-Policy Institute at George Washington University.
The announcement is obviously good news for space-transportation companies and lunar researchers lamenting the country’s 45-year absence from the moon. For those in the Mars camp, many of whom aim for a human mission to the planet by 2033, the news puts their ambitions on shakier ground.
“Most of the people who are Mars-centered worry that we’ll get stuck on the moon.”
The administration’s push for a return to the moon may be unambiguous now, but plenty of questions remain, ranging from the basic, like when and how, to the intriguing, like the role commercial spaceflight companies might play. NASA also wouldn’t be starting from scratch. The space agency has spent the last decade building the Space-Launch System and Orion, a rocket and spacecraft intended to carry people into deep space but also to build a cislunar way station called the Deep-Space Gateway. NASA planned to use the Deep-Space Gateway as a place for astronauts to prep for deep-space journeys, but the new shift could see the station being used for lunar landings.
Both time-tested contractors and growing commercial companies will be eager to work on potential lunar activities. Boeing is currently developing a capsule that would ferry people into low-Earth orbit, and SpaceX said its proposed mega-rocket, which is mostly intended to fulfill Elon Musk’s Sim City-esque ambitions for Mars, could contribute to travel to the moon. Musk, well aware of the political benefits of it, leaned heavily into lunar ambitions. “It’s 2017. We should have a lunar base by now,” he said recently. “What the hell’s going on?”

On October 5, President Donald Trump cryptically spoke to reporters about the “calm before the storm” after a White House dinner with his top military leaders and their spouses. Trump’s previous and subsequent comments suggest that the US military is prepared to launch an overwhelming first strike against North Korea.
According to secret space program insider, Corey Goode, this will involve highly classified space based weapons systems that have never before been publicly revealed.
Reporters were led hastily to the grand State Dining Room, where they walked into a scene of the president, his highest-ranking military aides and their wives posing for a group photo…. Trump gestured to the reporters in the room.
“You guys know what this represents?” Trump asked. “Maybe it’s the calm before the storm. Could be the calm, the calm before the storm.”
“What storm Mr. President?” one reporter shouted. ISIS? North Korea? Iran?
“You’ll find out,” the president said.
As to the country Trump was alluding to, he gave a tweet on October 7, which gave a clear answer:
Trump is clearly alluding to a massive military operation being planned against North Korea. Such an operation would require weapon systems that could very quickly destroy much of North Korea’s military infrastructure in order to prevent it from retaliating against South Korea, Japan, or even the US itself.
Almost four million people in Seoul and Tokyo alone would be killed by a North Korean retaliatory nuclear strike according to a study conducted by scholars at the John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.
The kind of weapons systems required to take out North Korea’s military infrastructure would have to be orders of magnitude more powerful than those used in the air war against Iraq in 2003, and against Serbia in 1999. These air wars took weeks to wipe out the bulk of Iraq and Serbia’s air defense, command and control, and vital military infrastructure.
The US would have to achieve the same strategic goals in a matter of minutes, rather than weeks. This firmly leads to Trump authorizing the use of highly classified space based weapons systems against North Korea. At the official level, space based weapons are non-existent and are merely being planned for the future.
At the classified level, space weapons have been secretly deployed by both the US and China. According to the National Institute for Public Policy, China “has the capability of attacking, destroying or disrupting the 500 US satellites circling the earth at heights of between 1,200 miles and 22,000 miles”.
There has been speculation that the US and China having developed space based weapons such as Rods of God, which drops large rod-like projectiles from space with pinpoint accuracy and devastating results. The effects of such a weapon was depicted in the movie G.I Joe 2.
To understand what is being planned, I asked Corey Goode a number of questions. The following are his responses based on the intelligence he has gained from multiple military and secret space program sources.
Key: MS – Michael Salla, CG – Corey Goode
MS –Can you describe what your sources had to say about SDI weapons being the ONLY way to attack hardened North Korean positions?
Some DOD reports estimate that 20,000 people could be killed in Seoul, South Korea per day if North Korea attacked with their artillery, rockets and mortars that are located in hardened bunkers just 35 miles from the DMZ (source).
Seoul has a population of 9.86 million people and is in range of most of NK’s conventional weapons systems. With Bunker Buster bombs and missiles becoming less effective in recent years the hardened bunkers where the NK Artillery is located has become too hard of a target for a conventional military strike. The loss of civilian life in Seoul was deemed unacceptable.
Some of my NATO sources have provided information to me that indicates that not only does the U.S. have these types of Space Based Weapons Platforms, so does China and Russia.
MS What kind of space based weapons exist that could be used against North Korea, e.g., Rods of God, Masers, etc?
Exotic Weapons Systems are located on Earth and in orbit. In the beginning, I would expect a number of EMP detonations over NK while at the same time “Rods from God” [RFG] projectiles would be released from orbit. It should be noted that North Korea has taken extreme measures to harden their bunkers and systems against EMP attacks.
Each RFG Platform releases 12 projectiles the size of telephone poles. These projectiles are made of Tungsten and are coated with ceramic and have a guidance system similar to the JDAM conventional bombs.
There are also a number of other weapons platforms that include High Energy Lasers and Masers as well as Particle Beam and Molecular Disruptor weapons. The triangular “TR3B like” craft have a number of weapons including a weapon that emit huge electro-plasmic energy bolts (like lightening) at their targets.
MS – Can you describe to what extent China has similar SDI weapons systems?
CG – China was able to obtain the plans to virtually every SDI (and later) weapons systems. They were spared the arduous and expensive R&D process and were able to engineer improvements in the designs that made their weapons much cheaper to develop.
MS – What do you think will be China’s response to the US using their SDI weapons against North Korea?
CG – Unknown. North Korea is thought to be a Cabal Asset by many. It is unclear if China will play a role at all in the defense of North Korea. The war would have to be prosecuted in a very particular way that keeps US Aircraft and Military personnel as far away from the North Korea/China boarder as possible. The US has most likely already disclosed its intentions regarding North Korea to some level authorities or secret societies in China and a tentative framework has been agreed to. This is speculation on my part. I know Trump likes to play things close to the vest. I am going off what has occurred between countries in the past according to information I received while in the programs.
MS – What role would be played by fleets of antigravity flying triangles operating out of places like MacDill’s Special Operations Command play in the attack on North Korea?
CG – I would think that they would fly sorties over North Korea positions and use a number of exotic weapons as well as higher tech conventional weapons (Rockets, Lasers & Mini-rail Guns). I’m sure they also gather electronic intelligence as well as jam certain technologies of the enemy. They would take out any enemy satellites and aircraft over the theater in the beginning of the attacks before more conventional air craft are sent in to clean up the non-hardened positions
MS – What role would MIC SSP space stations play in the attack against North Korea?
CG – I don’t know if the DIA/Air Force Space Stations would be used to coordinate the ground attack or not. The tasking of these satellite systems can easily be done from any location on Earth.
I know that the Triangle Craft and Space Station had been servicing these space based weapons to keep them operational. I would imagine they would be monitoring and maintaining these weapons systems from orbit as they were being used.
MS – Are the Directed Energy weapons systems to be used against North Korea, similar to what was used in the 911 attack that dustified the World Trade Centers as described by Judy Woods in her book, Where Did the Towers Go?
CG – Since being out of the projects I have heard that there was a space based weapon used in 911. I have no inside information on the 9/11 attacks from my own experience. The Molecular Disruptor Systems are known to turn complex structures into a super fine dust. This is a possible answer to your question, though I would be speculating.
MS –Are the Maser satellite technologies to be used against North Korea, the same ones used in the recent weather war attacks against the USA?
CG – It is possible. Now that NATO sources have verified that China (& Russia) have these weapons it opens up the possibility that countries that are a part of the “Earth Alliance” could be taking part in the weather war against the United States.
MS –Would the use of the SDI weapons lead to official disclosure of the MIC SSP?
CG – Yes, just as the F-117 Stealth Bomber/Fighter technology was disclosed to the public in 1989 after being used in the Panama war, some of the technologies used against North Korea would become public knowledge. I would think that they would then justify Space Based Weapons and disclose their Space Weapons and a new generation of Air Force air craft that can enter and leave the atmosphere at will.
President Obama plans to have the U.S. Congress authorize up to $300 billion in tax credits and $50 billion in infrastructure development to create jobs. As the U.S. economy slowly recovers, job creation has been painfully slow for the Obama administration. The reason for U.S. unemployment is all too evident to see. One just has to enter any large retail store, Wal Mart, Macy, etc., and see the all pervasive Made in China sign. China’s open access to U.S. markets had been a principle reason for rapid economic expansion which only a month ago led to China becoming the world’s second largest economy. Why have the U.S. manufacturing and textile industries been allowed to collapse with production moving off-shore primarily to China? Is it merely because U.S. companies are making windfall profits with off-shore production, and their lobbyists have succeeded in getting Congress to approve the legislation to make this possible? Yes that’s part of the answer, but is there a deeper factor at work? Is the U.S. paying China off for its support on some unknown policy issue by sacrificing the US manufacturing and textile industries to Chinese products? What possible policy could China have secretly agreed to that warrants U.S. policy makers giving Chinese products unrestricted access to U.S. markets? The answer is in China holding off in developing advanced technologies that could revolutionize the energy industry. China is being paid-off to play dumb while the oil industry continues its global monopoly on how to power industries through fossil fuels.
So what ‘free’ or new energy sources exist that could revolutionize the energy industry? The answer goes back more than 100 years to the work of the brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla (1856 – 1943). Tesla’s inventions and patents have inspired generations of inventors to come up with commercially viable models of his ideas. For example, in 1928, Dr Henry Moray successfully developed a “radiant energy†device from a 1901 patent developed by Tesla that could draw energy from a vacuum – free energy. Dr Moray, a highly talented electrical engineer with Bell Laboratories successfully demonstrated the device to many scientists. Their response was the same. What Moray claimed was impossible since it violated the conservation of energy laws. So the device must be some kind of trick, and was never seriously considered for commercial development by Bell Labs. Eventually, Moray’s prototype radiant ‘free’ energy device was destroyed by a disgruntled assistant. Ever since Moray, there have been numerous inventors who have developed free energy devices using off-the-shelf material.
Claims of inventors being either bought off or harassed are numerous and form a very long list. One prominent example is Otis T. Carr who successfully developed a free energy device that could be used to power a prototype civilian spacecraft. In the late 1950s, Carr succeeded in gaining private funding to develop a commercially viable model only for production to come to a halt after he refused offers to sell off his work. According to one of his technicians, Ralph Ring, a number of federal government agencies raided his California production plant in 1960 to close it down. The reason they gave was that it was a threat to the US. Monetary system since Carr’s device could lead to a collapse of the oil and power industries. In 1961, Carr was convicted of securities fraud. He was imprisoned and discredited. It was only the public emergence of Ring in 2007 that the truth of what happened to Carr had emerged. It appears that a carrots and sticks approach is used against individual inventors to prevent their new energy devices ever being commercially developed for mass public distribution. So what would be a carrots and sticks approach to a rising superpower such as China?
The carrot for China not to commercially develop free energy devices is for its products to be given unrestricted access to the U.S. market. As long as China plays dumb, and doesn’t develop such free energy devices for its growing industries, then all will be well and it can continue to generate large annual export surpluses in its trade with the U.S. For example, for the first six months of 2010, according to the US Census Bureau, China had a trade surplus of $145 billion with the U.S. In 2009, the trade surplus was 225 billion. Over the last five years, the trade surplus has averaged over $200 billion annually for a total of over one trillion dollars. So that’s the carrot given to China. A carrot that has led to the U.S. manufacturing and textile industries virtually disappearing in the U.S. as large companies have relocated production plants to China. The result is a huge loss in jobs and a middle class back lash against the U.S. Congress and Presidents that have done nothing to prevent the export of U.S. jobs to China and elsewhere.
So if the carrot for China in not developing Tesla inspired free energy technologies is unrestricted access to the U.S. market, what’s the stick? Not surprisingly, the stick itself is an off-shoot of some of Tesla’s pioneering work. One of Tesla’s devices could be used to draw large amounts of energy from the Earth’s ionosphere. This energy could be used for generating seismic activity (earthquakes) in remote locations and/or weather modification. Indeed, Dr Nick Begich revealed that the original patents behind the HAARP facility in Alaska built to send electromagnetic bursts into the ionosphere was based on Nikola Tesla. President Clinton’s Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, tacitly acknowledged in 1997 the existence of eco-weapons that could generate seismic activity and weather modification. He said:
Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations. It’s real…
Cohen’s comment is very significant since it reveals how one nation or (powerful oil industry cartel) could threaten or ‘terrorize’ another nation by the use of Tesla inspired eco-weapons. Cohen’s tacit acknowledgment reveals the powerful stick that could be used against China if it doesn’t accept the carrot offered to it to play dumb on the existence of free energy devices.
Free energy devices continue to be developed by private inventors in the U.S. using off the shelf equipment. Dr Thomas Valone, who worked with the U.S. Patents Office, is the world’s foremost expert on free energy or “zero point†energy devices. He has personally investigated many inventors’ free energy devices and found some to be commercially viable. If free energy devices continue to be privately developed in the U.S. then it’s inconceivable that the same is not happening in China. But the Chinese are playing dumb and not developing these for large scale commercial application. Why? The answer lies in the carrots and sticks approach used to maintain China’s complicity in a secret policy that protects the international oil industry. The continued loss of jobs as the U.S. market is flooded with cheap Chinese products and/or services from other rising powers such as India will not be reversed by stop gap business tax incentives and infrastructure development projects proposed by President Obama. As long as China and other countries are bought-off to prevent the commercial development of free energy devices, U.S. workers and the economy will continue to be sacrificed to protect oil industry monopolies on energy production.
Special Note: Dr Thomas Valone will be speaking about free energy devices that have potential for commercial production at the Fifth Annual Earth Transformation Conference on the Big Island of Hawaii, December 29 to January 2, 2011. Click here or image for more info.
”][Updated] On July 9, 2010, The China Peoples Daily ran a story about a UFO witnessed by hundreds over China on July 7. The UFO closed down the regional airport of Hangzhou for an hour, and Air Traffic controllers could not identify the UFO. A resident took a photo of the cigar shaped UFO that was cited in the People’s Daily story. Together with radar evidence and the closing of the regional airport, the photo has been widely circulated as physical evidence of a UFO.
An anonymous source cited by the People’s Daily claimed there was a military link in an apparent bid to dampen speculation about the UFO’s origins.
The July 7 photo was included in a video titled “Amazing Photos of UFO over China” (see below) that began to be widely distributed on July 10. Along with the genuine photo of the July 7, 2010 incident, there appears to be a number of others taken from 2009 of helicopters that were shown on a popular internet forum, Above Top Secret. It appears that someone wanted to muddy the waters by mixing a genuine UFO photo with a number of dated photos taken of helicopters elsewhere.
