The worlds most expensive plane to search into space from the skies over New Zealand for 3 weeks. Interesting how urgent this mission seems and the main focus is to use infrared. Brown Dwarfs can only be seen in that field. Whats the real story behind all of this?

The Goddess Sophia - 'Lady Wisdom' and Goddess of the Occult

"Sophia is not mentioned very often and sits on the fence between Christian and Pagan religions. Originally as a Gnostic goddess, the 'Lady of Divine Wisdom' takes her name from the Hebrew 'Hochma' or 'Wisdom.' In Greek, Sophia literally translates to 'Wisdom.' She appeared in 'The Wisdom of Solomon' by an Alexandrian Jew in approx 30BC, was present at creation and was God's bride."

The truth of this is not that they're going up to look a the stars...

They're going up to look DOWN...

They're going to be taking a closer look at the Taupo area, as well as the Christchurch area, and looking for evidence of deep volcanic movement; because what they haven't told the NZL public yet is that Taupo is building up, pressure under it is building and its on the verge of another catastrophic eruption!

Evidence of this is in the fact that there have been a number of 5.0 - 6.0+ quakes in and around Taupo since the 2011 Christchurch quakes...

I think I saw this fly over last week, I'm in Nth Tasmania (due west of NZ) and I heard this kinda sonic boom type noise outside and there was this really unusual plane flying due west overhead, it was white, I wondered is that like Airforce One or whatever they called it. It was releasing chemtrails/or whatever two streams close to the body of the jet. We just don't get that kind of plane in this area.

The World's Premier Airborne Observatory

SOFIA is the largest airborne observatory in the world, studying the universe at infrared wavelengths, capable of making observations that are impossible for even the largest and highest ground-based telescopes. During its planned 20 year lifetime, SOFIA also will inspire the development of new scientific instrumentation and foster the education of young scientists and engineers.

There's a window/hatch in the side for the telescope. Presumably it can look up or down.

NASA's SOFIA Investigates the Southern Sky from New Zealand

NASA's SOFIA airborne observatory will be based in New Zealand for the next two weeks, taking advantage of the Southern Hemisphere's orientation to study celestial objects that are difficult or impossible to see in the northern sky.

SOFIA, formally known as the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, deployed to the United States Antarctic Program's facilities at Christchurch International Airport last week and completed its first science flight at 4 a.m. local time July 18 (noon EDT July 17). A team of scientists, engineers, pilots and technicians from the United States and Germany are deployed with SOFIA to support as many as nine research flights through Aug. 1.

SOFIA is a modified Boeing 747SP aircraft that carries a telescope with an effective diameter of 100 inches (250 centimeters). It provides astronomers access to the visible, infrared and submillimeter spectrum.

On the first flight in New Zealand, astronomers used SOFIA to observe the disk of gas and dust orbiting the black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, and two dwarf galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which accompany the Milky Way. The Magellanic Clouds can be seen easily with the naked eye in the southern sky.

SOFIA is a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center, DLR. The aircraft is based at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center's Aircraft Operations Facility in Palmdale, Calif. Dryden manages the program. NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., manages SOFIA's science and mission operations in cooperation with the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) of Columbia, Md., and the German SOFIA Institute (DSI) at the University of Stuttgart. The National Science Foundation's U.S. Antarctic Program provided vital support for SOFIA's deployment operations in Christchurch.

Also Christchurch...

The city itself is built right at the base of 3 massive caldera's that together, form the mountainous peninsula right there. Its clearly obvious the 'path' that those ancient volcanic eruptions took, and based on that, its clearly obvious where the next one is going to blow...

Right smack in the middle of Christchurch!

The entire city is unwittingly sitting right smack on top of the very spot where the next caldera will be! Everyone knows it, they all talked about a strange rotten egg like sulfuric smells coming from the Lyttelton Harbor area during the last two big Christchurch Earthquakes, and witnessed claimed to see boiling bubbles coming up to the surface of the harbor... then the New Zealand Navy starts saying nothing is happening, but weeks later they got a ship there pounding away at the bottom with sonars and radars... What were they so worried about, if there wasn't anything happening down there?

Guess its a good thing I'm not deep throating them, and that I'm not a slave to them...

In fact, I'm quite pleased with where I am at, and all the WORK that I put into MY life to get to where I'm at, and the WEALTH that I've accumulated because if it... wealth that they'll never get to touch by the way. ;)

On top of that... I never finished my first year in college!
