For years, NASA has claimed that images of strange objects picked up by Space Shuttle cameras and satellites are nothing but camera errors or misidentified images.

But now hundreds of UFOs have been captured by the European SOHO satellite, which was sent out to observe the sun. Euroseti founder Mike Murray says, “They are the archetypal flying saucers?disc-shaped objects with some kind of glow around them. Many have a pulsing light and leave a trail behind them?The first thing we did when we got the images was to speak to NASA, who said it was a camera fault. But by enhancing the images we proved this wasn’t the case.”

NASA also said the objects could be asteroids or comets, but this doesn?t explain the way they move independently and make sharp turns.read more

If there’s one thing we take for granted, it’s bananas. They’re always cheap and available on the grocery store shelves. But it turns out they may vanish in a decade if we don’t develop new blight-resistant varieties. Could we be facing the end of our yellow friend?

Today’s Cavendish banana has an ancestor called the Gros Michel that was wiped out by a soil fungus in the 1950s. Emile Frison, of the International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain (INIBAP), says it will take genetic engineering to save the current variety, because it lacks the genetic diversity needed to survive.

The Raelian group claims to have produced two human clones (with more on the way), but refuses to let scientists see the babies. This could be because they have some of the genetic defects commonly found in animal clones. Clones and in-vitro (test tube) fertilized babies can suffer from Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, which is a rare condition that causes too much growth, kidney abnormalities and an increased chance of tumors.

Coastal cities and island nations are where where global warming and rising sea levels will have the most effect. England will be especially hard hit because the Gulf Stream, which now keeps Britain warm, will drop down, giving the U.K. the same weather as Northern Canada, which is on the same latitude. The recent heavy snowstorms in the U.K. may be a sample of what’s to come. A newly launched NASA satellite will soon give us the answer, since it will track ice sheets near the north and south poles, which are one of the first signs that climate change isn’t just a future threat?it’s happening now.
