British scientists have done DNA testing on hair found on a tree in Bhutan which may be hair from a Yeti, and have not been able to match it to any known animal. The findings raise the possibility that the hair sample belongs to an as yet undiscovered species.

In Bhutan, an expedition team led by a Yeti hunter searched for the creature in a forest in the eastern part of the country, where the leader was convinced a Yeti was at large. ?He told us that he had found evidence of the Yeti in the hollow of a cedar tree,? said Rob McCall, a zoologist who was on the expedition. McCall?s team removed strands of hair from the tree and took them to the U.K. for DNA analysis.

Since Albert Einstein first proposed it, then withdrew his idea because it was just too weird to believe, physicists have puzzled about ‘dark matter.’

Two recent discoveries suggest that hard evidence of dark matter has been detected. The first of these startling discoveries is that the universe has recently started speeding up (by ?recently,? they mean between 4 and 8 billion years ago). And now the Hubble Space Telescope has spotted an ancient exploding star that provides evidence that a mysterious form of ?dark energy? is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate.

The post office in Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia, Canada has developed a new UFO postmark of a flying saucer, to commemorate the book ?Dark Object,? by local authors Don Ledger and Chris Styles, which is part of Whitley Strieber?s ?Hidden Agendas? series.

The postmark will feature a UFO hovering over the water, with a boat and lighthouse nearby. It will be stamped on letters and packages before they?re mailed out and will be in use after May 18, says Shag Harbor postmistress Cindy Nickerson, ?whenever anyone comes in who wants their mail stamped with it.?

The Earth is threatened by ozone holes in the upper atmosphere that let in too many ultraviolet rays from the sun. One cause of the holes are ozone-eating clouds, made up of nitric acid and water, that are created by supercold air over the North and South Poles.

Scientists have long known about these clouds, but have just discovered the bands of frigid air in the stratosphere that help to create them. And as the Earth warms up, the stratosphere gets colder, making it an even better place to create ozone-eating clouds.
