A poster on Reddit recently shared this photo of Mars reflecting off the early evening sky, as it rises in the East. "Right now Mars is closer and brighter than it's been since 2003. It's so bright it's casting a reflection on the ocean as it rises. Took this two nights ago in Rhode Island," writes the Reddit poster, Advillious. "I live in the middle of nowhere, literally middle of nowhere. No light pollution what so ever. Population says 43 if you google my town. It's almost like the "middle...
A mysterious "canid animal" shot by a Montana rancher in May is believed by paranormal researchers to have been a chupacabra. It resembled a wolf - mostly - though some features were distinctly un-wolflike, which led to some pretty wild speculation about whether it was a dire wolf (they're long-extinct, so definitely not), a dog-wolf hybrid (dogs and wolves can interbreed) or perhaps a dog-human hybrid , The Washington Post previously reported. Tests conducted at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Servi...
Washington, DC, July 24, 2017 ― Seventy years after the cover-up of three interstellar craft downed over Roswell Army Air Force Base in New Mexico, two new books and a documentary reveal the shocking truth about covert programs and why the UFO subject remains taboo... even up to the President and Congress! "It's not about whether these interstellar craft are real," states Dr. Steven M. Greer, considered by many to be the world's foremost authority on the subject. The author of Unacknowledged: An...
Santa Monica's NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik, who is making final preparations for his launch to the International Space Station later this month, will be participating in live satellite interviews from 9 to 10 a.m. EDT Friday, July 14, at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia.

NASA will mark the worldwide observance of International Asteroid Day at noon EDT Friday, June 30, with a special television program featuring the agency's Planetary Defense Coordination Office and other projects working to find and study near-Earth objects (NEOs). The program will air on NASA Television and the agency's website. Viewers will learn how NASA-funded researchers find, track and characterize NEOs – asteroids and comets that come within the vicinity of Earth's orbit and could pose a...
The ocean produces half the oxygen we breathe, regulates climate by absorbing atmospheric carbon, and is the primary source of protein for 3.5 billion people. These and other critical benefits are fast eroding as growing human needs strain the ocean's living systems as never before. From June 5-9, the United Nations will host its first-ever Ocean Conference in New York City, a global gathering focused on protecting ocean resources essential to human survival. The Monterey Bay Aquarium will play...
Early science results from NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter portray the largest planet in our solar system as a complex, gigantic, turbulent world, with Earth-sized polar cyclones, plunging storm systems that travel deep into the heart of the gas giant, and a mammoth, lumpy magnetic field that may indicate it was generated closer to the planet's surface than previously thought. "We are excited to share these early discoveries, which help us better understand what makes Jupiter so fascinating,"...
What some say is an outcropping is in fact the portal to a crashed unidentified Flying Object, says a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In a Youtube video with over a million views, he says that if it looks like a UFO and flies like a UFO, it's a UFO. The item is located 1000 miles inland of the United States' large research facility at Ross Island, in a part of the Southern Ice sheet that has retreated in recent decades. Photos of it are available on the internet, courtesy of Google Ea...
While the United States increasingly puts science on the back burner, the United Arab Emirates is forging ahead with an ambitious program meant to increase knowledge and economic opportunities for its citizens. Their long-term goal is to put men on Mars by 2117. No Arab state has ever launched a spacecraft, but UAE intends to launch its first space probe in 2021 to celebrate the country's golden jubilee. That probe, named Al Amal (Hope), will mark the beginning of UAE's plan to become a...
Chris Austin, author of the popular Maven's Notebook website and a prominent figure in California water news, will be one of the featured guests and moderators at Chino Basin Water Conservation District's Symposium on Statewide Conservation next month. Austin, who has been writing about California water since 2007, is known for her unbiased and accurate reporting and news curation on the most significant issues in water, including the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, groundwater management and...
The Pew Charitable Trusts has called on the 25 member governments of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to continue their efforts to establish a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. In October, the Commission agreed by consensus to designate the Ross Sea Region MPA, at twice the size of Texas the world's largest protected area. As a result, commercial fishing will not be permitted throughout more than 2...
Soundings from the high intensity ultrasound imager on the Cassini spacecraft prove that Iapetus, like another Saturnian moon Pan, is a holdover from the same ancient alien civilization. Iapetus is a moon of Saturn that resembles the infamous Death Star in the "Star Wars" films, with a large crater that resembles the fictional weapon's superlaser focus lens. There is a reason for this: It was built by an alien civilization years ago, parked in orbit around Saturn, and left there. Publicly, NASA...
Cape Cod, Massachussetts. August, the twenty-first century. A ten-foot mako shark swings lightly in the breeze, suspended horizontally from a measuring gallows on the pier where a crowd of locals and vacationers stand around nodding approvingly. From a pierce in the left chest gushes deep-cherry blood; more blood rolls out of the mouth, the jaws thrust out of their socket, forever poised in a last attempt to bite whatever was trying to kill it. The snout designed to slice through water, the...
One thing is for sure: This one is no fake. Who could create such a bright light in the sky for 2 minutes? Seeing is believing, and this is the clearest UFO video we have seen in years. A UFO flying over head in the California Desert at 5:20 p.m. on Wednesday, has been posted to Youtube by a user calling himself Frank Zappa. The famous musician has been dead for ten years, so it seems unlikely that Zappa himself posted it. Though Zappa did name his daughter, the subject of "Valley Girl," Moon...

As he spoke to astronauts on the International Space Station on Monday, President Donald Trump has ordered the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency to review and release all files concerning space aliens and Unidentified Flying Objects or UFOs. Trump promised to take this step in his inaugural speech. He said: "We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies,...
During the evening of April 20th, the right leg of 23-day-old Bald Eaglet "DC4" became precariously lodged inside a hole within the outer rails of its large stick-nest. The eaglet was unable to free itself after many attempts to do so over a considerable period of time. DC4 resides in a wild nest located at the top of a Tulip Poplar tree at the Agricultural Research Service's (ARS) U.S. National Arboretum (USNA) in Washington DC along with its sibling DC5 and Bald Eagle parents Mr. President &...
If you haven't seen a flamboyant cuttlefish before, picture this: a plushy purple almond of about three inches long, abutted at one end with a set of ten lacy wire appendages, one or two of which seems to be bent perpetually up in what looks curiously like a hand giving you "the finger." Two of those appendages, the arms, beard languidly down from the chin and become a set of legs, manoeuvering in a left-right-left pattern along the sand, just the way a human would walk – except trailed by three...
A multidisciplinary team of archaeologists and historians from the Paris Descartes University and The Explorers Club NYC have made an extraordinary discovery close to the French Pyrenees in the Occitaine region. Work started in September, and using drones and ground-penetrating radar they have been able to find a metal container dating from the end of the 19th century. The investigation started thanks to the meticulous study of the works of Jules Verne and, in particular, analysis of the famous...

When villagers found the abandoned tools of a 25 year old man in a field, they suspected the worst: That he had been eaten by a huge snake. "We were immediately suspicious that the snake had swallowed Akbar because around the site we found palm fruit, his harvesting tool and a boot," said Junaidi, a senior village official, who like many Indonesians goes by only one name. An Indonesian farmer has been discovered inside the belly of a giant python after the swollen snake was caught near where the...
Responding to the elephant poaching crisis illustrated in 2016's Great Elephant Census (GEC), philanthropist Paul G. Allen and his team of technologists and conservation experts are partnering with park managers across Africa to provide a new technology platform to better protect this iconic species and other wildlife threatened by human activities. The GEC documented an alarming 30 percent loss of savannah elephants over the past seven years primarily due to increased ivory poaching. This...
The most spectacular UFO sighting in years was witnessed by thousands of people on earth on Tuesday, 2/17/17. A formation of 4 to 6 alien ships seem to sail past the International Space Station, reverse direction, then come back again. Best of all, there is video of the event all over Youtube. Some news sources claim that NASA suddenly cut off the feed to the ISS Livecam, though NASA has said repeatedly it would love to find evidence of extraterrestrial life--imagine the budget requests it could...
A Boston man named Davis was on his way to work Monday when he saw a preternatural ritual: a group of wild turkeys marching in a circle around a dead cat. "I've got three dogs and four fish tanks at home... I enjoy nature, I enjoy wildlife," says Jonathan Davis of Randolph, Massachusetts, who filmed the scene on his phone on March 2. "It's not every day you see something like that." Once Davis posted his footage to Twitter, it went viral. Davis and others noted the incident's apparent...
