The First ‘Alien: Covenant’ Trailer Is A Terrifying Holiday Treat
The first official trailer for Ridley Scott’s “Alien: Covenant” that dropped late Saturday night is a real festive treat for sci-fi fans.
“Covenant” is the sixth film in the movie franchise and takes place after 2012’s “Prometheus,” but before the events of the 1979 original film. It follows the crew of a colony ship, “bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world.”
The film stars Michael Fassbender, who is reprising his role as David the android, Katherine Waterston, Danny McBride, James Franco, Jussie Smollett, and Billy Crudup.
“Alien: Covenant” hits theaters May 19, 2017.

Listen to the mysterious ‘alien call’ coming from 36,000-feet below the Earth’s surface
(Google Maps)
THIS chilling sound had scientists spooked after it was heard coming from the deepest part of the ocean.
Researchers at the Hatfield Marine Science Centre were shocked to hear the wailing noise while monitoring deep-sea whale communications in the Pacific Oceans Mariana Trench.
Lasting around three seconds, the moaning noise hits super-low, and then super-high frequencies.
The experts best guess is that they picked up a never before heard whale call while monitoring the uncharted depths.
WILDLIFE OFFICIALS: VIDEO CAPTURES POSSIBLE 2ND JAGUAR IN US
Marine experts sent a machine called a hydrophone down to the deepest part of the trench, which lies between Japan and Australia.
The hydrophone can travel through the sea for months at a time and dive up to 3,281 feet.
It’s there that it picked up the strange booming sound.
Some believe it could be a mating call from a Baleen whale.
‘MYTHICAL’ SEA BLOB FINALLY SPOTTED A CENTURY AFTER ITS DISCOVERY
However, the bizarre sound pattern doesn’t quite fit with what we already understand about whales.
Sharon Nieukirk, a marine bioacoustics expert at Oregon State said: If it’s a mating call, why are we getting it year round? That’s a mystery.
The sound is very distinct, with all these crazy parts she added.
The scientists hope that by publishing the noise other researchers can help identify the call so they can get to the bottom of the noise.

Illustrators get us up close with ‘Tatooine’ and other alien planets
(CNN)Robert Hurt and Tim Pyle have provided the world with stunningly photo-realistic glimpses at what gravitational waves, Earth-like exoplanets, rain storms of molten iron and even the Milky Way from above might look like if we could ever see them for ourselves. They also have the joy of illustrating when science fiction meets science fact, like planets orbiting two stars that harken back to twin suns setting on Tatooine in “Star Wars: A New Hope.”
They have been working together and turning study data into artist renderings for 12 years at the California Institute of Technology, the academic home of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Sometimes, they have only a little bit of lead time to produce the stunning images that accompany NASA’s news releases.
Without Hurt and Pyle, the images we associate with exoplanets would be a single pixel of light surrounded by the vast blackness of space.
The process to create a rendering is the same each time. Hurt and Pyle are briefed on the research and its findings so they can start coming up with an idea of how to represent it and whether it requires an illustration. Then, they hop on a conference call with the researchers to ask detailed questions and confirm what it may look like.
Sometimes, the scientists have concepts of what they would like to see. Other times, their conversation with the artists is the first time they’ve thought about their discovery visually. Together, they work out balancing the science with visual storytelling to represent an artistic hypothesis.
After Pyle and Hurt send a first draft back to the researchers, they usually make tweaks based on the feedback and pull together the final image.
Pyle mostly illustrates exoplanets, stars and asteroids, while Hurt’s specialties align with data coming from the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, and depicting information around black holes.
Occasionally, they fight over who gets to illustrate certain findings. Other times, they argue over how best to represent it.
“Often, by the time we hash it all out, we end up with something better than if left to our own devices,” Hurt said.
Because of their backgrounds, Hurt helps explain some of the concepts from the research to Pyle. In turn, Pyle shares graphics and animation production techniques and styles with Hurt.
“I am really appreciative of how he elevates my art, and I think I’m just grateful I have this asset that artists like me don’t have,” Pyle said.
And together, Hurt and Pyle are doing what they always dreamed and eagerly awaiting the next exciting discoveries they get to illustrate.
“I’ve been delighted to have the chance to connect my personal love of science fiction to my profession of communicating the amazing science being done that is starting to connect what we know to things that we’ve only dreamed about,” Hurt said.

Huge mysterious UFO disc-shaped object captured crossing moon’s surface was alien spaceship, say ET hunters

Alien hunters are convinced this huge apparently disc-shaped UFO crossing the moon is yet more proof of extraterrestrial life.
Mystery surrounds the object which appeared from out of the blue as the Miami Observatory in Florida streamed a feed of the lunar surface on December 3.
The dark circle-shaped shadow is captured above the moon, sparking theories from a well-known UFO enthusiast that it is a craft created by an intelligent species.
Scott C. Waring, from UFOsightingsdaily.com, said: “It’s not a man-made object, because there are not solar panel wings on it to gather energy.
“There are no antennas on it for transmitting, also the surface is not completely round, but has a rough edge to it.
“Looks like a bio-mechanically grown UFO.”
One poster on YouTube refuted claims that it was an alien spaceship or even an object.
They said: “After studying it is NOT an object.
“I have come to these conclusions after multiple re-plays effected, I have seen that it does not maintain the form.
“For me it is the outskirts of a shadow. If this is so it is very possible that the object crossed between the Moon and the Sun projecting the shadow.”
Another user said: “Peekaboo UFO, they know we are watching.”
This is not the first, and certainly won’t be the last lunar-related UFO sighting or claims of an ‘alien base’ on the grey planet.
It was claimed last month that an M-shaped structure in NASA satellite photos is a base for extraterrestrials, while another weird object spotted in imagery from the space agency was dubbed an ‘alien antenna’ .
Footage also emerged recently of a mysterious UFO hurtling past the International Space Station as it orbits Earth seconds before the live feed cuts out.

‘It was not from this world’: Witness to ‘Britain’s Roswell’ UFO incident breaks 36-year silence

A new witness has broken his 36 -year silence to speak out about Britains most famous UFO incident.
Steve Longero was told to keep quiet by his superiors following the infamous Rendlesham Forest incident in Suffolk.
But now the retired U.S. Air Force police officer has gone on the record for the first time and said: I think it was something not from this world.
The incident dubbed the British Roswell took place over three nights between 26 and 28 December, in 1980.
Military personnel from nearby RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge, including the deputy base commander, witnessed strange lights in the forest and hovering above the twin NATO airbases which were on high alert as the Cold War was at its peak.
A UFO? VIDEO CAPTURES STRANGE OBJECT NEAR OHIO MILITARY BASE
Steve, who served as a police sergeant in the USAF, was guarding the weapons storage area when the alarms started going off.
He said: While on duty that night, we had a very sophisticated alarm system and everything just went off.
And then I could see these lights over the treetops, and I was thinking, whats going on? Then they started sending people out there and at first it was hard to believe, all these bright lights. It was hard to take in.
“Well from what I remember the lights, fluorescent lights, kind of a glow, like a reddish glow. I remember going out there.
Steve went out into the forest where he remembers seeing a large group of other military personnel had already gathered including Staff Sgt Jim Burroughs, Airman First Class Edward Cabansag and Airman First Class Larry Warren.
Describing the UFOs, he said: They looked like fluorescent coloured lights, like red and green, glowing lights and thats what they looked like.I could see them hovering over the treetops like an eye that was almost following everybody.
MYSTERIOUS UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT CRASHES IN MYANMAR
He added: It was real kind of quiet and this thing hovering over the trees, and you were like kind of tracking it and like what is this?. And it was like following, it was like watching us, thats what it looked like to us. It seemed like something watching us.
From what I remember it was like aglow, it was really glowing like a reddish, greenish light. It was really glowing, like something was really hot and it was just glowing.
He also recalled seeing Colonel Charles Halt there, who made a tape recording describing how beams of light were being shone down by the UFO. He has written an explosive new book called The Halt Perspective describing his close encounter.
Mr Longero said: Col Halt came afterwards, after all that was called in. I remember him turning up, thats when they kind of gathered everyone around and said this is what we are going to do, and everybody kind of dispersed and did what they were told to do.
“I remember we had a little briefing right there and everybody was just like, we just could not believe what we were seeing. Your adrenalin was flowing and I remember people saying like what is that?.
STRANGE ‘BURNING’ OBJECT SPOTTED IN SKY OVER WESTERN US
Rubbishing theories that the lights in the woods were caused by a lighthouse on the east coast, he laughed: I dont think so. Not unless the lighthouse could move. Unless they could float that thing in the air.
And then, as people were getting close to this thing it kind of came nearer to us and then it would go forward and then go back and all of a sudden it just disappeared, like something out of Star Trek, it was like warp speed and we were all what was that? it was gone and then thats when they started doing all their investigations. After we secured the area they said okay, youre gone, get out of here.
Steve said he was debriefed a few days later and was told not to talk about what he saw as the base had nuclear weapons on site.
UFO investigator Philip Mantle, who interviewed Steve for Outer Limits Magazine, said: Steve does not claim to be anything special but he wanted to emphasise that there were a lot of others involved who were witness to the events in question, many of whom have yet to add their voice to these events.
Steve has confirmed the open secret that nuclear weapons were stored at RAF Bentwaters at the time although he did not personally witness any lights being shone onto the WSA.
UFO OVER ST. LOUIS? STRANGE LIGHT OVER GATEWAY ARCH SPARKS DEBATE
He has confirmed much of what Colonel Halt has already said on the record and he is in no doubt that Larry Warren was there.
What is clear is that despite the best efforts of some this case will continue to be hotly debated for many years to come.
