UFOs were seen in Baghdad and Bahrain last week. The Bahrain UFO displayed strange lights for about a minute. Mohammed Jaffer al-Hajer was with six of his friends when they all noticed it. Al-Hajer taped the strange object on his digital video camera twice?once as it gave off a bright yellow light and again when it split in two before disappearing.

“We first noticed the strange light appear to the left of the Batelco tower in the village,” says al-Hajer. “We saw it again just above the tower when I reached for my camera and began to video tape it.” People in a nearby town also reported seeing the UFO around the same time. However, flight controllers in the Bahrain International Airport tower say the radar there didn?t register any abnormal activity at the time.

Vote in our new poll! This time, we’re asking you to tell us, “based on all you know, how would you describe the most important motive of the visitors?” We haven?t forgotten that many of you are “experts,” with firsthand experience.

Do you think “They are here to take something from us even if it hurts us,” “They are here to take something from us, but are helping us as well,” “They are here to help us, regardless of their own needs” or “They are here to harm us, regardless of their own needs?” We want to hear from you.

In our last poll, we asked you: “What do you expect the next 5 years to be like?”

Over 26% of you said “I see catastrophe coming” or “I sense wonder coming.” Either way, you’re expecting a big change.

While some people still insist that homo- (and hetero-) sexuality is a “choice,” scientists disagree?according to the latest research, we’re born with our sexuality hardwired into our genes.

“Our findings may help answer an important question?why do we feel male or female?” says geneticist Eric Vilain. “Sexual identity is rooted in every person’s biology before birth and springs from a variation in our individual genome.”

Scientists used to think that the female and male hormones estrogen and testosterone were responsible for our sexual orientation, but Vilain says hormones don’t explain everything. His team identified 54 genes in mice that explain why male and female brains look and function differently.
