Luckily, Tau Ceti is in this group, so thats the direction we should go (comparable to heading Northeast from St. Louis). 07 27 First, these stars fry their planets with occasional lethal bursts of radiation emitted from erupting solar flares. Procyon, Praesepe I was incredulous that models could be used to do an astronometric problem," Steggert says. [27] In 2010, the Herschel Space Observatory, a telescope with a comparatively superior spatial resolution and, unlike Spitzer, able to resolve radiation excesses beyond the wavelength of 70m, determined the infrared excess as coming from a two-lobed structure that looked like a debris disk seen edge-on. This seems like a tall order. Allen, Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning, 1889. Sadalsuud Chinese Lunar Mansions, The 13th Zodiac Sign 200 (Enceladus and Europa are tidally locked, but gravitational tugs keep their oceans liquid) The same principles apply to planets of small stars that would otherwise be at the right distance for moderate temperatures. Toliman, Yed Prior Tejat Posterior Peter Van de Kamp says, "It's first rate. 23 24 The viewing angle is from a point In space beyond that limit looking back toward the sun. Mark Steggert of the Space Research Coordination Center at the University of Pittsburgh developed a computer program that he calls PAR (for Perspective Alteration Routine ) that call duplicate the appearance of star fields from various viewpoints in space. The most likely possibilities seem to be: (a) the experience actually happened, or (b) some perceptive and illusory misinterpretations occurred in relationship to some real event. Card #33 | Zeta Reticuli (Past, 1st Era) | Desperation Using the example of the Zeta Reticuli species, they refused to acknowledge the emotional body to the point of creating a species crisis. The route map on page 10 shows the culmination of our efforts. (Dr. Simons, the hypontist in question, later stated, The abduction did not take place but was a reproduction of Betty's dream which occurred right after the sighting. The purported aliens were similar in form to an Outer Limits episode that aired shortly before the session. But even in 1982, when I joined the staff as an assistant editor, the magazine crew still jokingly referred to this legendarily awful story as The Zeta Ridiculi Incident.. The Zeta Reticuli system consists of two yellow main sequence stars of the spectral types G3-5V and G2V. Assuming the two stars in the foreground of the Hill map were the base stars (the sun, a single star, was ruled out here), she decided to try to locate the entire pattern. Rigel 100 Menkar Iain Todd is BBC Sky at Night Magazine's Content Editor. 12 23 Zeta Reticuli is a binary star system that can be found in the constellation of Reticulum and is visible in the night sky from the southern hemisphere. Acrux Stephen Dole of the Rand Corporation has made a detailed study of stars in this range and suggests we should also eliminate F5, F6, and F7 stars because they balloon to red giants before they reach an age of five billion years. The other 2/3 are composed of stars not visible to you, on Earth, but nevertheless affecting the gravitational pull of the other stars and planets in the system. Capulus 140 There is another more compelling reason for eliminating stars of class F4 and brighter. 23 48 During their examination of the map, Mitchell and some of his students inserted the positions of hundreds of nearby stars into a computer and had various space vistas brought up on a cathode ray tube readout. Haedus II They are each fifth magnitude stars barely visible to the unaided eye located in the obscure southern constellation Reticulum. Alphecca In 2005, members of the Defense Intelligence Agency came forward to reveal the operation, including details from the 3,000-page debriefing of the seven members of the Serpo team who returned. Zeta 2 is about 99% the mass and 99% the radius of the Sun. He fell in love with the night sky when he caught his first glimpse of Orion, aged 10. Further elimination is necessary according to the catalogs. So the experience remains a fascinating story despite the absence of proof that it actually happened. Ain 210 (This is no longer believed to be the case. 08 52 Coxa 17 40 The penalty is a short lifespan as a main sequence star. Once you have ordered using the PayPal button, you should have your report within 24 hours, or I will contact you. 22 09 100 The Hills reluctantly disclose the entire story. Beta Reticulis zodiacal degree seems to be mistaken here! In Vedic astrology, the degrees of 26 Aries to 10 Taurus are ruled by the Krittika, or Pleiades. Hynek described how the Hills recalled the details of their encounter in his book, The UFO Experience (Henry Regnery Company, 1972): "Under repeated hypnosis they independently revealed what had supposedly happened. Or perhaps a tiny cloth to polish the lens?? 230 100 Capricornus (Editors note: by no metric is this true outside conspiratorial circles.) One born under the influences of the sisters is said to be fiery, warlike, and adventurous. Only when they saw the immanent death of their species did they shock themselves out of their delusion that the mental body was superior. Bullinger, The Witness of the Stars, 1893. 210 Between Aug. 1968 and Feb. 1973, she strung beads, checked data, searched and checked again. [4] They are currently following an orbit through the Milky Way galaxy that has an eccentricity of 0.24. Binary Stars Other stars have less variations in the data from one catalog to another, but Steggert's point is valid. 100 18 31 110 23 28 One born under the influences of the sisters is said to be fiery, warlike, and adventurous. Sadalmelik Well take the Hill encounter at face value, and see where it leads. 29 22, Kerb If the stars of a double system are far enough apart there is no real problem for planets sustaining life ( see "Planet of the Double Sun", September 1974). 140 140 05 18 Italian translation by Giuseppe Bezza from CCAG V/1 pp. 25 47, 07 20 They have an angular separation of 309.2arcseconds (5.2 arcminutes);[17] far enough apart to appear as a close pair of separate stars to the naked eye under suitable viewing conditions. It had a drawstring at the top to close it up. Polis 130 140 In essence, then, we assume their home planet must be very Earthlike. Kaulins, Stars, Stones and Scholars, 2003. (See above. Dheneb Binary star system in the constellation Reticulum, "Chromospheric models of solar analogues with different activity levels", "A 25 micron search for Vega-like disks around main-sequence stars with ISO", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zeta_Reticuli&oldid=1148113146, Short description is different from Wikidata, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0, This page was last edited on 4 April 2023, at 04:33. Under hypnosis, Betty and Barney began to relay their story, which detailed their abduction onboard a strange spacecraft and conversations with non-human lifeforms. This change, which vastly increases a star's energy output, can occur at various times depending on the star's mass. 200 While he later came to believe in UFOs, he later stated he didnt believe them to be of extraterrestrial origin. Apparently unable to control their actions, Betty and Barney are easily taken back to the ship by the humanoids. 110 Fish later believed her work was in error. 100, 140 04 03 "This must be the next step in attempting to evaluate the map.. Alnilam Precession Astrology [5] This likely puts them outside the thick disk population of stars. 210 A large Jupiter type planet exists in Gliese 86. Labrum 23 13 Algorab Given the orientation of these two locations and the relative distances, it would be hard to place Zeta Reticuli anywhere but firmly within the Orion Arm. One star that should be there ( Zeta Tucanae ) is missing probably because it is behind Zeta 1 Reticuli at the required viewing angle. Centaurus Skat 220 24 01 Asellus Borealis These two stars are Tau 1 Eridani (an F6 star ) and Gliese 86.1 ( K2), and are, respectively, just above and below the parameters we arrived at earlier. Ensis He was a clergyman, so maybe he kept his rosary beads there? Betty Hill famously drew a star map from memory, in 1964, under psychoanalysis. Mira 05 10 "The odds are about 10,000 to 1 against a random configuration matching perfectly with Betty Hill's map," Saunders reports. The Zeta Reticuli System had a very long . Alkaid Now we are ready to return to the map drawn by Betty Hill. 12 46 [Isaiah 40:26 ], 01 02 A planet between a star and earth brings out the fixed stars' potential. 100 21 26 Canis Minor Heavenly Imprints: Development of the Zodiac, Saturn Sextile Midheaven Natal and Transit, Mercury Retrograde April 21, 2023 Psychic Talent, Saturn Conjunct Neptune Natal and Transit. ", "The derivation of the base data by hypnotic techniques is perhaps not as 'far out' as it may seem," says Stanton Friedman. Cassiopeia 130 Then in 2018 a paper was released that showed 'no common proper motion' between the lobed structure of the disc and Zeta 2, suggesting the asymmetry wasn't caused by a planet in orbit. Foramen Eclipses plus the planets Jupiter out to Pluto have the most marked effect in transit, activating the human head and the endocrine glands. Marjorie Fish wrote a letter to Betty Hill dated October 7, 1972 source University of New Hampshire State archives), and she draws her Zeta Reticuli Interpretation set to Betty Hill's star map. 06 52 More will be said about this group in later chapters. Sagittarius Achernar Based upon parallax measurements, this system is located at a distance of about 39 light-years (12 parsecs) from the Earth. The stars were tinted and glowed. Shortly following, she opened the first yoga center in . 140 15 00 06 19 Checking further we find that all but two of the stars in the Fish pattern are on the table of nearby solar type stars. (Today, K-type star stability is seen as a boon, rather than a hinderance, for their habitability.). Facies 200 15 19 Their stellar classification is nearly identical to that of the Sun. 130 In a book titled Alien Abduction?, however, images of several Zeta Reticulans wearing light blue clothing with silver trimming were depicted. We don't want to waste our time and efforts we only want to go to stars that we would think would have a high probability of having planets harboring advanced life forms. Dole believes the K2, K3, and K4 stars are also poor prospects because of their feeble energy output and consequently limited zone for suitable Earth-like planets. There were no grid lines.". This is a way of getting at repressed or forgotten material and can result in unusual accuracy. For two reasons, then, we eliminate stars of class F4 and above: (1) most of them rotate rapidly and thus seem to be planetless, and (2) their stable lifespans are too brief for advanced life to develop. She noted no grid lines on the pattern for reference. Marjorie Fish reasoned that if the stars in the Hill map corresponded to a pattern of real stars perhaps something like we just developed, only from an aliens viewpoint it might be possible to pinpoint the origin of the alleged space travelers. Salisbury insists that while psychological factors do play an important role in UFO phenomena, the Hill story does represent one of the most credible reports of incredible events. We are forced to "scratch" all stars suspected or proven to be variable. Are there creatures inhabiting a planet of Zeta 2 Reticuli? 240 Continuing to take the Hill map at face value, the radiating pattern of "trade routes" implies that Zeta 1 and Zeta 2 Reticuli (again, neither are believed to have planets.) 28 06, 03 09 [25], This star system belongs to the Zeta Herculis Moving Group of stars that share a common motion through space, suggesting that they have a common origin. The ship rises, and then hurtles out of sight. First, it sold lots of books. A suspicious alignment, detected in late 1968, turned out to be almost a perfect match once new data from the detailed 1969 edition of the Catalog of Nearby Stars became available. Dimensional Perspectives: Exist in 4D and some are evolving into 5D Appearance: These look like the gray alien image so commonly known today. Baten Kaitos His standing in the scientific community was deeply damaged by his UFO advocacy.) Didnt he delineate and name Mensa (= Table Mountain)? The Planet Serpo exchange project traces its origins to the Famous Roswell Incident where a UFO reportedly crashed in the plains near Socorro, New Mexico, on May 31, 1947. (Today, most indications of Saunders lasting legacy are in the UFO community.). 21 47 Aquila Dubhe ), (While planets around Barnards Star havent been entirely ruled out, Van de Kamps planets have since been disproven and indeed, no large gas giants exist in the system according to the most recent research. [21], Both stars were considered unusual because they were thought to have had a lower luminosity than is normal for main-sequence stars of their age and surface temperature. 17 58 A nuclear-pulse powered starship begins a historic voyage to some nearby stars similar to our sun sometime in the 21st century. Mar 25, 1927 6:18 AM Chiron enters Taurus. 09 56 Zosma (No.) Albali Light-year (abbreviated as LY ) stands for the distance that light travels in a year (at the speed of about 300,000 km/sec). 03 46 The flares have the same intensity as those of our sun, but when you put that type of flare on a little star it spells disaster for a planet that is within, say, 30 million miles. Lepus No other star on the chart is known to have a planet, though a few have debris discs.). 130 We will limit ourselves to the 55 light-year radius covered by the detailed star catalogs. Unukalhai The worlds best selling astronomy magazine. Zeta 1 Reticuli has a mass equal to about 96% that of the Sun, and a radius about 92% of the Sun. Terebellum, Albireo Octans "I was intrigued by the proposal put forth by Marjorie Fish that she had interpreted a real star pattern for the alleged map of Betty Hill. It seems, from recent studies of stellar evolution that slowly rotating stars like the sun rotate slowly because they have planets. 23 50 Since the aliens were described as humanoid and seemed reasonably comfortable on this planet, their home planet should be basically like ours. 29 45, 01 04 200 130 June 6, 1933 10:23 PM Chiron enters Gemini. Izar, Princeps According to several astronomers who specialize in stellar positions, it probably is. Fixed Stars in Medical Astrology Barney Hill began suffering from ulcers, which were diagnosed by their local doctor as being a result of stress, and they eventually sought the help of Benjamin Simon, a lauded psychiatrist who had treated World War II veterans for post-traumatic stress. [8][19] The two stars are somewhat deficient in metals, having only 60% of the proportion of elements other than hydrogen and helium as compared to the Sun. 210 01 47 ), What stars are left after all this pruning? It must be at the appropriate distance from its sun so that water is neither frozen nor boiled away. 140 Algol, Alcyone Zeta Reticuli: facts about the binary star sytem. (The fact that measurements of most of the stars in question can only be made at the relatively poorly equipped southern hemisphere observatories accounts for the less reliable data. Zeta II Reticuli is supposed to be where the Ebens of the Roswell 1947 incident were from. 15 05 The two stars, Zeta 1 (1) Reticuli and Zeta 2 (2) Reticuli are located just over 39 lightyears from Earth and are separated from each other by a distance of at least 3,750 Astronomical Units (AU), where 1 AU is the average distance between Earth and the Sun. The fact that it would be easily visible in full daylight would give Zeta 1 Reticuli supreme importance to both early civilizations and modern man. They are each fifth magnitude stars barely visible to the unaided eye located in the. In response he shows her a three-dimensional map with various sized dots and lines on it. "The data for some of the stars seems to be very reliable, but a few of the pattern stars are not well observed and data on them is somewhat conflicting," says Kretsch. 03 58 If rotational lock has not yet set in, at least rotational retardation would make impossibly long days and nights (as evidenced by Mercury in our solar system. Your beginner astrology chart is included: SEE EXAMPLE. 200 From this viewpoint the map pattern obtained by Marjorie Fish was duplicated with virtually no variations. 02 35 And almost all A stars are rapid rotators too. 11 58 Hydrus Merak Data used to derive the Fish model and the computer readout were taken from Gliese catalog. Nashira 130, 210 03 11 07 40 Indeed, one M star known as Barnards Star is believed to almost certainly have at least one, and probably two or three, Jupiter-sized planets. 140 The Exchange Program Between Earth and Project Serpo In the Zeta Reticuli System. Hercules Although this section amounts to only 13 percent of the entire sky, it contains 15 of the 46 stars, or 33 percent of the total. 140 Haedus I This point of view is shared by Jeffrey L. Kretsch, an undergraduate student who is working under the advisement of J. Allen Hynek at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. Like Steggert, he too checked Marjorie Fish's pattern and found no error in the work. To date, no exoplanet has been confirmed around either star, which brings us nicely onto one of the reasons Zeta Reticuli is known popularly outside of astronomy circles. All positions used in the fixed star list below are set for 2000. They are told they will forget the abduction portion of the incident. Our editor-in-chief, Dave Eicher, laughed it off until my face told him I am serious and seriously nuts.. Syrma 210 Sadachbia For questions, contact Jamie at funkastrology@gmail.com. 140 This feature described the so-called Betty and Barney Hill story, in which a New Hampshire couple claimed to have been abducted in 1961 and taken aboard an alien spacecraft. Our last table indicated the sun (a G2 star) has a stable lifespan of about 11 billion years. 220 The nearest star to the Earth with an exoplanet is HD 21693, about 105.62 light-years. Aquarius Bellatrix (Earth-sized planets cannot be detected in this manner. Based on the star's spectral type (G2V), Zeta Reticuli's colour is yellow. This model, prepared by Marjorie Fish, shows all the stars located in a vast volume of space extending out about 55 light-years in the direction of Zeta Reticull. The fact that the pattern is less of a "good fit" using data from other sources leads Kretsch and others to wonder what new observations would do. Phoenix 10 08 "Several police departments around the country use hypnosis on rape victims in order to get descriptions of the assailants descriptions that would otherwise remain repressed. (These are often called red dwarf stars, and are among the most abundant in the universe.). While inside they are physically examined, and one Of the humanoids communicates to Betty. Draco [14], The double star Reticuli is located in the western part of the small Reticulum constellation, about 25 from the constellation's border with Horologium. There was no concentration of stars to indicate the Milky Way ( galactic plane) suggesting that if it represented reality, it probably only contained local stars. 130 Lets say we start from St. Louis and want to hit all the major cities within a 1,000 mile radius. Lower photo shows a cathode ray tube computer readout that was run at Ohio State University as a check on the Fish model. Under hypnosis they stated that they had been taken separately aboard the craft, treated well by the occupants rather as humans might treat experimental animals and then released after having been given the hypnotic suggestion that they would remember nothing of that particular experience. 130 Canopus Lyra 14 58 Zeta2 Reticuli is orbited by a . 130 130 Antares Reticulum Pegasus It has windows -and behind the windows, looking directly at him are humanoid creaturesl Terrified, Barney stumbles back to the car, throws it into first gear and roars off. Porrima It all started this way: Barney grabs his binoculars from the car seat and steps out. It probably cost Terry his job, as he was gone from the magazine a few months later. He walks into a field to get a closer look, focuses the binoculars, and sees the object plainly. The first rule will be to restrict ourselves to life as we know it, the kind of life that we are familiar with here on Earth carbon-based life. The reality is that the Zeta Reticuli system is a fascinating place where I'd expect to find advanced life. Zeta Reticuli is a wide binary system composed of two yellow G-class stars, both of which have a visual magnitude of 5.22. [18], Both stars share similar physical characteristics to the Sun,[16] so they are considered solar analogs. A professor of plant physiology, his biology expertise has been turned to astronomy on several occasions while studying the possibility of biological organisms existing on Mars. Planetary returns are most potent. Designated Zeta 1 and Zeta 2 Reticuli, the two solar analogs are slightly smaller, less massive and less luminous than the Sun. The effects are not continuous. Because this is a potentially troublesome area for our objective, we will eliminate all close and moderately close pairs or systems of multiple stars. But the bright stars pay dearly for their splendor. But the planets of M-stars and the K-stars below K4 have two serious handicaps that virtually eliminate them from being abodes for life. Apparently the formation of a planetary system robs these stars of much of its rotational momentum. For example, he says the data from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Catalog, the Royal Astronomical Society Observatory Catalog, and the Yale Catalog of Bright Stars "have differences of up to two magnitudes and differences in distance amounting to 40 percent for the star Gliese 59". Oculus That is, there is one chance in 1,000 that the observed degree of congruence would occur in the volume of space we are discussing. Still, it fascinates us. Dole feels this is cutting it too fine for intelligent species to fully evolve. 25 51, 01 15 The precession rate is 1 per 72 years or 0.838 per year. But in no other case on record have maps ever been mentioned. 03 15 23 16 140 In the late 1960s Marjorie Fish (a teacher) supposedly succeeded in correlating Hill's star map with real stars associated with Zeta Reticuli, this proving Hill had been on a ship from Zeta Reticuli. 140, 200 Fomalhaut 230 To get more information about the map she decided to visit Betty Hill in the summer of 1969. Coincidence, possibly; hoax, improbable. Alderamin This would. Zeta 2 is about 99% the mass and 99% the radius of the Sun. The data on some of the stars in the map is just not good enough to make a definitive statement. It lies north of Hydrus and the Greater Cloud, containing thirty-four stars from 3.3 to 7th magnitudes. Markab "But the star group identified by Marjorie Fish isn't quite a perfect match, and the odds consequently reduce to about 1,000 to 1. Most habitable zone planets discovered so far have been short period planets around M-dwarfs.) . Manubrium The subspace beings, according to Brown, animated themselves through the Greys and . Anonymous, Bright, passionate, harmful and helpful stars, 379. The sun rotates once in just under a month, but 60 percent of the stars in the FO to F4 range rotate much faster. (Majorie Fish later repudiated her findings prior to her death in 2013. Zubeneschamali 220, 140 We cant take each star in order or we would be darting all over the sky. Bos 150 The rest, as they say, is history (Nancy Lieder went on to channel the Zetas about how Planet X would factor into the great cataclysm we all . Bootes 22 10 The method of their release supposedly accounted for the amnesia, which was apparently broken only by counterhypnosis.". Zeta 1 would have long ago been the focus of religions, mythology and astrology if it were in earthly skies. 200 03 53 194-211. 110 What better time to share a silly tale of alien abduction, and bad journalism, than Halloween? Ive annotated a few spots where our knowledge has improved. The planet has to be the appropriate size so that its gravity doesn't hold on to too much atmosphere (like Jupiter) or too little (like Mars). He held his head in his hands. Rasalhague Reticulum Constellation spans 27 degrees of the zodiac within Pisces Constellation, from 24 Pisces Sign to 21 Aries Sign. Betty did not shift her position while viewing it, so we cannot tell if it would give the same three-dimensional view from all positions or if it would be completely three-dimensional. This is like someone saying "Portugal is actually a huge tortoise and people don't even notice because it's so big," and then you saying "this man is right; I looked at a map and Portugal is a real thing." . 100 Pavo The star "behind" the two components of Zeta Reticuli is Zeta Tucanae. Betty explained that she drew the map in 1964 under posthypnotic suggestion. Betty and Barney are returned unharmed to their car. The Zeta Reticuli System contained two yellow dwarf stars, designated Zeta1 Reticuli and Zeta2 Reticuli, and was located at a distance of roughly 39.16 light-years (12.01 parsecs) Trailward from the Sol System. Someone should (or perhaps has already) conduct a test to see how well a similar pattern could be recalled after a substantial period of time. Al Jabhah 13 38 Retrograde motion lessens the effect of fixed stars. While very large stars are unlikely to have planets, several other stellar types could host habitable planets or moons. This means astronomers have observed variations of at least a few percent in the star's light output. "To my surprise I found that the pattern that I derived from my program had a close correspondence to the data from Marjorie Fish.". The only answer is to continue the search. 210 Al Hecka This radiation was attributed to emission by a debris disk with a mean temperature of 150K (123C), theorized to be orbiting the host star at a distance of 4.3AU. Sheratan [17], Zeta Reticuli has no known extrasolar planets. Piscis Austrinus
Let's think about possible futures!
