Science Fact or Fiction - Charmain Ingleton

The question, “Is the giant Hogweed an alien life form?” I read an article that claimed that heatwaves in the United Kingdom caused the most toxic plant the “Giant Hogweed,” to spread. The plant, it’s botanical name “Heracleum Mantegazzianum,” was imported from Central Asia in 1893. Now, I don’t believe that the importers knew how dangerous this plant was. However, we’ve since learnt that it has a wicked defence mechanism. The sap contains toxic chemicals and can burn people and animals if its touched. I understand that most plants have some type of defence mechanism that’s used if they feel threatened, but this seems a bit extreme for a plant don’t you think? So, with that in mind, could it be an alien life form? We all assume that aliens walk on two legs, but could some have roots instead? But hey, I’m no Botanist, it’s just a theory. What do you think?   Author: Charmain Ingleton www.thewalkways.co.uk

  The question is, “Can we create a synthetic life form?”   I read an article about scientists creating a new life form in a lab by altering the DNA. DNA consist of four letters G= Guanine, T= Thymine, C= Cytosine and A= Adenine, together these create a code that underlies all living things. However, this has now changed since scientists have expanded the genetic code by introducing synthetic ones at early stages. This could create an entirely new life form! So, with the creation of this new synthetic biology, do you think it will help or hinder mankind? I believe that for every good that comes out of new science, bad follows too. For in the future, isn’t it possible that this new creation will make us extinct with humans replaced with clones... With this in mind, could this have happened before? I ask this because we do have an evolutionary missing link, some say between apes and man? But hey, I’m no Palaeontologist, it’s just a theory. What do you think...

The question is, “What’s the Baltic Sea Object?” In 2011 on the sea bed off Sweden an unusual object was found using sonar by Ocean X, a professional diving company. It looked like an alien spaceship. The spaceship was circular in shape with grooves in its surface. It also looked like it was on some kind of runway? The Star Wars Millennium Falcon spaceship has a striking resemblance to it even though the first film was not released until 1977. The underwater team experienced a technology malfunction each time they were above the object. However, everything turned on again once they were 200 metres away from it. Also, tests on the (runway) formation revealed that the structure was created with metals that could not be reproduced by nature. Hmm, interesting? So, it appears that this structure was made from materials not from this world, created by aliens for alien spaceships! Either, they were submersible spaceships or like Atlantis, they just got submerged by the ocean...

The question is, “What’s Pandora?” ‘Pandora,’ is the name given to a giant virus found underwater in Chile and Australia. Named, the Pandoravirus, it’s ten times larger than other viruses. Scientists claim that only 6% of its genes have been seen on Earth, so where does the rest come from? It’s claimed that this virus came from Mars which is plausible, except that they don’t know for sure. China’s planning to take its first return mission by 2030 so we may find out then. But if it’s confirmed that it did originate from Mars, then that would suggest it’s extraterrestrial and could be a danger to us. However, with that said isn’t it possible that the virus has already been circulated by the oceans and sea creatures? As I first mentioned, it had been found in both Chile and Australia which is separated by an ocean, only 12,726 km apart. Therefore, if we caught and ate an infected sea-creature, or if a land-animal ate a contaminated sea-creature and then we killed and...

The question is, “What’s the Black Knight Satellite?” It’s an object that’s been orbiting Earth that transmits signals to Earth. It’s around 13,000 years old. Its purpose is unknown! What’s really fascinating, is that this object was orbiting Earth prior to humans launching any man-made satellites of their own! Our first one was launched in 1954. So, what is it? Could it be a beacon of some kind? Mysteriously, it’s transmitting to Earth, but why and to whom? Did the Egyptians send this beacon into orbit prior to leaving Earth? If I was to guess, I’d say yes. With satellite images of pyramids built on other planets, it appears that they had the knowledge and technical capability, or did they? Now that’s another question… Buy hey, I’m no scientist.
