Des images de la "Planète X" auraient été prises par le SPT

Avertissement: article hautement douteux

Information ou désinformation ? Probablement un hoax compte tenu de la fragilité de l'hypothèse. Le doute reste néanmoins permis.

L'auteur de l'article (traduit de l'anglais) semble relativement sérieux dans sa démarche de recherche. Néanmoins le contexte de présentation de cet article laisse place à de nombreuses interrogations. Mes commentaires sont à la suite.

Merci à Charles d'avoir transmis ce document.

Permières images de la Planète X / Nibiru diffusées par un informateur anonyme du "South Pole Telescope" (SPT)

1. Introduction et premières découvertes

http://yowusa.com/planetx/2008/planetx-2008-03a/1.shtml

Hoax déclaré le 10 mars 2008 et retiré le 12 mars 2008

La première vidéo de NibiruShock2012 était très convaincante et nous avons publié une analyse détaillée de celle-ci sur le site Web yowusa. Cette vidéo était soit authentique (nous avons montré qu'elle ne pouvait être faite avec Photoshop) [NdT: référence ??] soit un canular sophistiqué.

Puis NibiruShock2012 a récemment posté une deuxième vidéo en réponse à notre article et nous avons nous-mêmes répondu avec une vidéo YouTube. Nous avions un objectif en tête: voir si, à l'instar des joueurs de poker, NibiruShock2012 tenterait d'augmenter sa mise.

NibiruShock2012 ensuite affiché une troisième vidéo intitulée "(20) (8) (9) (19) (9) (19) (1) (8) (15) (1) (24)" en réponse à notre vidéo, avec la message suivant:
   THIS--- (20) (8) (9) (19)
   IS ---------( 9) (19)
   A ----------- ( 1)
   HOAX --- ( 8) (15) (1) (24)

Il est important de remarquer que, quelle que soit la personne qui a diffusé ce troisième message sous le pseudonyme NibiruShock2012, elle est restée comme précédemment, anonyme. Par conséquent, jusqu'à ce que la ou les personnes qui ont diffusé ces vidéos se manifestent ouvertement, il reste impossible de dire qui est l'auteur de ce troisième message.

Ceux qui prétendent que la planète X / Nibiru n'existe pas insistent toujours sur l'existence de preuves irréfutables. "Montrez-moi des images", martèlent-ils avec raison. Nous aussi, nous avons vu de nombreuses photos et de vidéos de la planète X qui au fil des ans ne s'avéraient être que des canulars.

Toutefois, nous ne cautionnons non plus pas le ton caustique et la sentence auto-contenue de l'abrasif "montrez-moi les images" des debunkers, car pleine de préjugés.

Cependant, comme le dit l'ancien adage chinois, "Faites attention à ce que vous souhaitez, ces souhaits pourraient prendre vie". En effet, nous avons maintenant ce que nous considérons être la première preuve crédible d'images de la planète X / Nibiru, par une chaîne d'information qui conduit jusqu'au au "South Pôle Telescope" (SPT) situé en Antarctique.

Le 20 février 2008, un réalisateur sur Youtube postant depuis la suisse et portant le pseudonyme NibiruShock2012 a diffusé des images de la planète X qui auraient été prises par le "South Pole Telescope" (SPT). Intitulé "Nibiru / Planet X, photos prises en Janvier 2008", cette vidéo a été consultée plus de 39000 fois depuis sa date de sa publication.

Article Update #1 — 03-March-2008

A second video was released by NibiruShock2012 the day after we first published this article, and is embedded herein for reference.

Please note; the analysis in this article only addresses the first video posted on February 20, 2008.

Response Video #1 — 05-March-2008

This our response video on YouTube to NibiruShock2012's first two videos.

We've posed several key questions to NibiruShock2012 and look forward to a response.

False Color Images

A common reaction to these NibiruShock2012 images is that they are impossible with a submillimeter wave telescope such as the South Pole Telescope (SPT). However, it is common practice to render the images obtained from such telescopes as "false color images."

Chandra Images & False Color

Light SpectrumImages taken by telescopes that observe at the "invisible" wavelengths are sometimes called "false color images." That is because the colors used to make them are not "real" but are chosen to bring out important details. The color choice is usually a matter of personal taste, and is used as a type of code in which the colors can be associated with the intensity or brightness of the radiation from different regions of the image, or with the energy of the emission.

For example, in the black and white Chandra X-ray image of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) shown on the left, the darker shades represent the most intense X-ray emissions, the lighter shades of gray represent the areas of less intense emission, and the white areas represent the areas of little to no emission. In the yellow and orange version in the middle, a different "color code" was shown. There, the white and yellow colors represent the areas of highest X-ray intensity, the orange to red areas represent the areas of lower intensity, and the black represents little or no emission.

It is important to note that, absent independent confirmation, we cannot authenticate these "false color images." However, the aspects of this story that compel us to declare this a video a credible, "unofficial" leak are as follows:

1. SPT Mystery Teams 2. Intelligence Cover-up 3. International Informant Chain 4. NibiruShock2012 Images

Following a brief overview of the South Pole Telescope, this introduction will briefly discuss each of these aspects.

The South Pole Telescope (SPT)

In April 2006, Yowusa.com was the first to break the SPT story in the context of Planet X / Nibiru research.

Yowusa.com, 26-April-2006 South Pole Telescope (SPT) — America’s New Planet X Tracker

South Pole Telescope (SPT) — America’s New Planet X Tracker Now we have the corroboration we've lacked for years, The South Pole Telescope (SPT). Far more powerful capable and survivable than the 1983 IRAS spacecraft and Hubble Space Telescope put together, this manned observatory will soon begin tracking Planet X / Nibiru from the pristine skies of Antarctica.

Why is America spending a massive fortune to transport this massive facility with massive C-130 airlift to the most desolate, inhospitable and inaccessible region of the world to track this massive inbound? Because this is where astronomers will find their ultimate Kodak moment and this is good news. Their resulting multi-spectrum observations will translate into life-saving data.

In this article, we explain why the SPT is essentially the perfect instrument, at the perfect place and at the perfect time to observe Planet X / Nibiru, assuming a Southerly approach to the core of our system.

Since then, we've continually monitored the Internet for any late-breaking news articles, videos, etc., relating to this original April 2006 story. The first of note happened to be a YouTube video titled South Pole Telescope Commute, that was posted on December 28, 2007 by researchers at the SPT.

What we found interesting about this video was the great care the the researchers used to avoid showing us anything about this massive telescope, which is ostensibly funded by the US government for civilian research.

After all, geeks love nothing more than to show people their high-tech toys, and this video did everything but that. This piqued our curiosity because of a report by a reliable source in New Zealand just a few weeks earlier.

SPT Mystery Teams

In mid-December 2007, long-time Yowusa.com supporter Christopher Ferri, Founder and CEO of a-s-s-e-t.com, an online merchant banking system based in New Zealand, contacted us with some very interesting information.

According to Christopher, several of his merchant members in New Zealand were discussing a troubling, new trend at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica, where the SPT is located.

In the normal course of events, C-130 flights to the Station make a stop in New Zealand to refuel and pick up additional supplies provided by local merchants and to provide transport for scientists traveling to the Station.

However, in December 2007, a troubling trend emerged. Secretive teams of researchers began arriving at the Station on non-stop C-130 flights from the US. While the distance is considerable, it is manageable, given that the C-130 is a military transport with mid-air refueling capabilities.

Christopher reported that his New Zealand merchants were hearing stories from non-American researchers, stating that these SPT Mystery Teams were showing up unannounced on non-stop flights to work for brief periods at the SPT. During those episodes, the SPT Mystery Teams kept to themselves and then left as they had come.

Given that the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is a large, civilian international research base, the mysterious comings and goings of these special US teams was obviously troubling for civilian researchers from other countries.

This doubled our effort to maintain a vigilant lookout for any late breaking news regarding the SPT. It was for this very reason that we picked up on NibiruShock2012's Nibiru/Planet X photos taken January 2008 YouTube video a few hours after it went up. At that time, it had only been viewed 346 times, whereas it has already been viewed over 39,000 times as of this publication date.

At first glance, the video passed the most basic Photoshop hoax smell test, but was it authentic? Ergo, we had immediate questions, such as:

• Where is this object in the sky?
• Is it approaching us? How far out is it?
• If so, will it speed up from where it is now until it passes closest to the Sun.

Absent a second source for verification, the logical approach is to vet the information with the source. In this case, that begins with NibiruShock2012, the YouTube Director who posted it. This is when we encountered what was clearly an intelligence cover-up. Intelligence Cover-up

Here, the author needs to momentarily switch to first person pronouns.

After coming upon NibiruShock2012's video on YouTube, I attempted to contact the director through the YouTube messaging system. My multiple attempts to make contact were being blocked, so I ran a few tests.

Please note, that while I am not willing to reveal my test method I will say that prior to starting my publishing company I worked in the computer industry for over 2 decades. During the last 8 years, I was a freelance senior technical writer/analyst in the Silicon Valley. I specialized in Internet data center technologies, and my client list included AT&T, HP, Lockheed Martin, Oracle and SUN Microsystems.

My test showed that my messages and channel comments to NibiruShock2012 were being sniffed and selectively blocked from inside the YouTube data center — but not by any YouTube servers!

Like they say in Washington, "it's the cover-up, not the crime," and this set off the alarm bells, and not only for us.

Other known Planet X researchers were seeing the same thing, and this is why I came into contact with Part 5 — Object Cluster author, Benjamin Cropley in the UK. He, like several other Planet X researchers in the UK, experienced the same packet sniffing and selective blocking, as well.

Since then, whoever was blocking our vetting efforts has removed the YouTube messaging and comment blocks, and there are now over 400 comments on this video. However, this amounts to nothing more than someone closing the gate after the horse has bolted. The "someone" is, of course, an American agency, but why? That question points us to the initial source of the leak.

International Informant Chain

In Part 3 — Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Janice Manning uses all of the text embedded in and associated with the NibiruShock2012's Nibiru/Planet X photos taken January 2008 YouTube video.

According to her analysis, the video provides evidence of three separate, distinct "author's voices," to wit:

• SPT Informant,
• Video Producer,
• YouTube Poster.

NibiruShock2012, the 37-year old YouTube Poster lives in Switzerland (a neutral country) and is the final person in this informant chain. However, the SPT Informant is most likely an employee of the American government with access to these images. This is the key element.

The SPT Informant clearly chose the representative samples of images in the NibiruShock2012 video for those willing to examine them in detail.

NibiruShock2012 Images

Self-appointed debunkers have latched on to the About text in the NibiruShock2012 posting and used it to attack the video. They use a sloppy, agenda-driven approach. This is shown in Janice Manning's analysis. Her analysis shows us that NibiruShock2012 is essentially a technical illiterate, using publicly available material to introduce the video. The debunkers neglect to take the use of publicly available material into account.

Therefore, our analysis has centered on the thing, itself. That includes the images in the video posted by NibiruShock2012, the text embedded in that video by the telescope photographic camera and the Video Producer's CGI text.

• In Part 2 — Hoax Claim Rebuttal, we present a detailed analysis of a recent hoax rebuttal on YouTube by ProjectStorm that, contrary to ProjectStorm's hoax claims, proves that images in NibiruShock2012's video were not created with Adobe Photoshop or a similar application.

• In Part 4 — Satellite Orbits, Jacco van der Worp, MSc of the Netherlands uses a specially enhanced, inverse overlay to discuss the stable and unstable orbits of four satellites in orbit around the central object in this system.

• In Part 5 — Object Cluster, Benjamin Cropley, an amateur astronomer and Planet X researcher in the United Kingdom, uses additional enhanced images to build on Jacco's findings and discuss the relevance of the NibiruShock2012 images to Andy Lloyd's Dark Star Kuiper Gap hypothesis.

Based on the respective efforts of the various members of this international analysis group, our initial findings are of critical import to all those with an interest in Planet X / Nibiru.

Initial Findings

Based on our current findings, It appears to us that an American working on (or having access to) the SPT leaked the images to a foreign national, who then created the video and relayed it to a trusted third party Switzerland. It was then posted on YouTube.

1. Given the scope of effort involved in bringing this video to the public's attention, we've yet to see any proof of a hoax. However, we cannot authenticate the images, either.

2. Due to the YouTube sniffing and blocking experienced by Marshall Masters, Benjamin Cropley and other Planet X researchers in the UK, we believe this leak was over-managed by a security agency in a botched damage control effort. No doubt, the denials will be quick to come, but this singular aspect lends the single most convincing element of credibility to this informant leak story.

3. This is obviously a concerted effort by a group of individuals. This group could be a informal network of alarmed people. The botched cover-up leads us to conclude that this was not a disinformation trial balloon effort, as some maintain.

4. The intent of the informants is to create awareness. Their approach is noble and can in no way be viewed as a conspiratorial rant against any government.

5. We advise continued monitoring of this Swiss leak source.

As we are unable to contact the any of the informants and cannot independently confirm this report as verified, we can only publish these series of articles as preliminary conclusions. As compelling as they are, they nonetheless must be viewed as speculative at this time.

We will continue to follow this story and report additional findings as they come to light. We can only hope the informants of these "unofficial" images release more of them, as they have promised.

2. Revendication du hoax et réfutations

http://yowusa.com/planetx/2008/planetx-2008-03a/2.shtml

Marshall Masters - YOWUSA.COM - 02-March-2008

PUBLIC NOTICE: We are unable to contact any of the informants and cannot cannot independently confirm this report. As compelling as these images are, any conclusions drawn from them must be viewed as speculative at this time.

On February 20, 2008, a 37-year old YouTube Director in Switzerland with the screen name of NibiruShock2012 posted images of Planet X that were allegedly taken by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) in Antarctica. Titled Nibiru/Planet X photos taken January 2008, it has been viewed over 39,000 times as of the publication date of this article.

Whenever a controversial, new Planet X / Nibiru observation video appears on the Internet, most viewers initially assume that a sophomoric, intellectual delinquent contrived it. That's natural, as that's how many of the Internet Planet X videos are produced, and we call them as we see them. For example, we were the first to declare the APOLLO 20 Important Datas About Nibiru Approaching a hoax video on our new blog on January 28, 2008.

Yes, hoax videos exist, but this does not justify shallow investigations and egotistical, shoot-from-the-hip, ad-hominem attacks. Yet, that is exactly what happened 6 days after NibiruShock2012 posted Nibiru/Planet X photos taken January 2008.

In a scathing attack against NibiruShock2012, another YouTube Director with the screen name of ProjectStorm released a debunking video response on February 26, 2008.

While ProjectStorm's response video was poorly executed, it offers two very valuable research findings:

   * Hoax Fabrication Demonstration: ProjectStorm does a rather good job of showing how to create a hoax image of the brown dwarf (dark star) featured in NibiruShock2012's video using Adobe Photoshop.

   * Proof of Authenticity: ProjectStorm was only interested in showing that he or she could create something similar. However, had ProjectStorm compared his / her work with that of NibiruShock2012, the conclusions would have been exactly the opposite. Instead of declaring NibiruShock2012's video a hoax, ProjectStorm would have had to authenticate it!

Here is what ProjectStorm should have done before declaring NibiruShock2012's video a hoax. Step 1 — Create a Comparative Baseline

To ensure a fair analysis, let's create a baseline by obtaining similar, representative samples from both videos, after they have been compressed by the YouTube Flash video encoder.

NibiruShock2012 - Original

ProjectStorm - Original

While the two baseline images appear similar at first glance, differences appear immediately. ProjectStorm did not faithfully recreate the image. The NibiruShock2012 shows higher clarity and better tonal gradation. Step 2 — Enhance for Detail

To enhance the original images for more clarity, we use an old, but effective image viewer called Compupic 6.22 (2003). We can easily do the same with more current software, such as Adobe Photoshop Elements, also. Below are the originals from above, which have been enhanced for increased clarity.

NibiruShock2012 - Enhanced

ProjectStorm - Enhanced

At this point, we see that ProjectStorm's image becomes mushy during enhancement. However, the enhanced image in NibiruShock2012's video shows greater detail and more subtle tonal gradations.

The manner in which NibiruShock2012's images respond to enhancement prompted Part 5 — Object Cluster author Benjamin Cropley to comment:

The large amount of detail in these screen captures of the YouTube video clearly indicates that they came from very high-quality originals. That is the kind of quality one would expect from the high-resolution CCD imaging systems in modern telescopes.

At this point, it should be clear that ProjectStorm conducted a faulty analysis and wrongly chastised NibiruShock2012 for presenting a hoax. If not, let's take it to the next step. Step 3 — False Colors Simulation

NibiruShock2012's images reveal an amazing level of image depth, given that they've undergone Flash Video encoding by YouTube. This is important, because these original images are false color images, because the SPT is a submillimeter-range telescope.

False colors are used to illustrate what these objects look like in the visible light range.

We can roughly approximate the original observation images by converting the enhanced images shown above to 256 gray scale.

NibiruShock2012 - Enhanced - 256 Gray

ProjectStorm - Enhanced - 256 Gray

The dead giveaway here is the satellite passing in front of the brown dwarf (dark star).

In NibiruShock2012's image, the satellite is passing in front and to the right of the star with a natural effect. On the other hand, ProjectStorm's image resembles an amoeba more closely than anything else.

The point here is that ProjectStorm's images simply cannot stand up to close inspection, as those of NibiruShock2012 can. Conclusion

ProjectStorm was not doing valid research or a public service, either, for that matter. ProjectStorm approached his or her analysis with a highly-charged agenda. He or she fully intended to discredit and humiliate NibiruShock2012 in any way possible. In the process, his or her own hubris not only proved to be his or her downfall; it also proved the exact opposite for NibiruShock2012's video. It proved that NibiruShock2012's video is not a Photoshop hoax.

3. Renseignement humain

The following is a Human Intelligence (HUMINT) analysis based on all of the text embedded in and associated with the Planet X / Nibiru Shock 2012 video.

The Planet X / Nibiru Shock 2012 video evidenced three separate, distinct "author's voices" to wit:

   * SPT Informant
   * Video Producer
   * YouTube Poster

This analysis begins with an analysis of the SPT Informant, using the the four time-stamped and numerically sequenced images from the telescope camera. The SPT Informant

The SPT Informant, presumably an American working at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, captured the four images shown in the video and referenced here. Image #1 — 01-Jan-2008 Date, Time Seq. Num.

This area of space has been monitored daily since 01/01/08. This was the first recorded picture in the video, so it has a difference value of 0 and a daily average value of 1. However, observe the changes to these values as the other images are listed. Image #2 — 10-Jan-2008 Date, Time Seq. Num.

This was the second recorded picture. Note the sequence number. Six images were taken with that camera in the ten days between 01/01/08, 06:31 AM and 01/10/08, 14:30 PM. This produced a daily average for that period of 0.6 Image #3 — 15-Jan-2008 Date, Time Seq. Num.

As of the third recorded picture, taken five days after Image #2, we see the daily average of images increasing as the time between samplings decreased. In fact, Image #3's average more than doubled over the average for Image #2. Image #4 — 20-Jan-2008 Date, Time Seq. Num.

Difference

Daily Avg 01/20/08 21:43 PM LOO# 51259

4.6

01/20/08 21:43 PM

By the time that Image #4 had been captured, that camera had captured a total between 01/01/08, 06:31 AM and 01/20/08, 21:43 PM of 37 images of that area of space. This indicates that the SPT Informant chose the images very carefully to obtain a well-rounded, representative sample of four images out of those 37.

The fact that the SPT astronomers took 23 images in the last five days of this sequence shows a dramatically increasing interest in that area of space at that time. This also shows in the fact that the daily average of images for #4 tripled that of images for #3. The Video Producer

The Video Producer, presumably from an English-speaking country as either a natural citizen or immigrant, produced the video, adding text by using Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI).

The producer wrote it in a pseudo-American style. It had consistent typographical errors, misspelling "visible" twice and January once, with very minimal punctuation.

The producer also wrote it in what newspaper editors call Passive Voice. Here are some very simple formulas for determining Active Voice sentences from Passive Voice sentences:

   * Active Voice sentence: (Person) "A" used "B" to do "C."

   * Passive Voice sentence: "B" was used by (person) "A" to do "C." (OR) "C" was done with "B" by (person) "A."

Here is a representative Passive Voice paragraph from the video:

   "The following pictures you are about to see are of the dark star Nibiru with its orbiting moons and Planet X. They were taken with a photographic telescope located in Amundsen-Scott American South Pole Station (SPT) in january of this year."

Both sentences in the above paragraph are in Passive Voice. Passive Voice is common for people who are not American but can write in English.

To illustrate the point, had the the first sentence in the above quotation been written in Active Voice, it would have read something like:

   "You are about to see the following pictures of the dark star Nibiru with its orbiting moons and Planet X."

Regardless of the Writer's Voice and typos, the care and sense of urgency of the producer show in the last three CGI sentences:

   "These objects are heading towards us and they will become visable to every human on Earth within the next couple of years. This is a matter of National Security and the governments of the world are trying their best to prevent global panic. They're also trying their best on how to deal with this unavoidable event."

The compassionate tone in this last CGI text recognizes the concern of world governments that this will cause a panic. In essence, this chain of informants does not see the governments as the "bad guys" and wants the viewer to understand that. On the other hand, a disinformation ploy would have ended on a strong conspiratorial note.

However, the message "they're trying their best" clearly shows compassion but a lack of conviction in the ability of the governments to overcome their own bureaucratic inertia and broach this information in a timely manner. This one paragraph clearly shows how this concern that bonded the members of this disclosure chain. The YouTube Poster

The person who posted to YouTube wrote in a Continental English style used by English-speaking Europeans. The poster is not a professional writer, as this person consistently inserted commas into the wrong places. However, the tone of the posting indicated a sincere interest in the urgency of a Planet X flyby.

Here is an example of the Continental English spelling (realise) and a copy of the poster's urgent plea.

  1.

     Spelling: What many people do not realise, is that Nibiru is infact a dark star, about half the size of our Sun. ("Infact" is a typographical error in both types of English.)
  2.

     Plea / Challenge: Many people can be saved, but actions need to be taken NOW. If we leave it to the last minute, it will be to late. Within the next few years, nobody will be able to hide the fact these objects are heading towards us, because they will be seen by everyone and will grow larger as they approach us. Global panic is unavoidable and this event is unavoidable.

During the analysis, co-authors Jacco van der Worp, MSc and Benjamin Cropley often noticed that the level of expertise in astronomy was solid with regards to the SPT Informant and less so with the Video Producer.

They both concur that the YouTube Poster is essentially illiterate about the astronomy presented in this video and crafted the About Text using general concepts available from the Web. Conclusion

This article demonstrates how these important images show incoming objects. It shows how the images prompted regular, everyday people, such as the producer, to make the video, and the poster, to post it to YouTube. The sense of urgency in all three people is gravely evident in all of their work.

We, as researchers, need to continue to encourage credible work, such as this, and to vet what we do receive to keep readers informed as fully as possible.
