Dr. Bruce Maccabee writes, Fifty years ago, during the most amazing flap of flying saucer sightings in the USA (and the world), the Air Force almost admitted that at least some sightings of UFOs/saucers were sightings of objects not made here. However, when that opportunity arose during a large press conference in late July, instead of admitting that the Air Force couldn’t explain all sightings and that some high officials were seriously considering the interplanetary hypothesis, the Air Force (General Samford) said everything could be explained as natural phenomena, effectively slamming the lid down on the UFO subject. But what the Air Force said privately was a different matter.

Scientists have figured out how to change light into aliquid that forms drops and splashes off surfaces just likewater. Humberto Michinel at the University of Vigo in Italysays it would be ideal for optical computing, wheremicrochips sent light through optical circuits in order toprocess data.

Scientists have told us that we?re all descended from oneEve, like the ancient, primitive partial female skeletonthat archeologists named Lucy. They?ve never figured outwhat happened to the Neanderthals?did they intermix with ourancestors or did they die out?

Scientists can?t seem to decide whether cellphones are safeor not. Now Dariusz Leszczynski at the Radiation and NuclearSafety Authority in Finland has found that one hour ofexposure to cellphone radiation caused cultured human cellsto shrink. The blood-brain barrier normally preventsunwanted molecules from entering the brain, but cellphoneradiation targets proteins in the “stress fibers” of thecells that line blood vessels, which causes these cells toshrink. Leszczynski thinks cellphone radiation might allowdangerous molecules to pass through the spaces betweencells, that become enlarged due to the shrinking of the cellitself, and get into the brain that way.
