UFO researcher Richard Dolan writes: Since the news was released in early May 2004 that a Mexican Air Force interceptor encountered several invisible objects that registered clearly on radar and infrared systems, a number of articles appeared that attempted to explain the event as either weather phenomena or new stealth technology. Such conclusions are very premature.

Susumu Tachi, who invented a cloak that makes its wearer “invisible,” now plans to develop technology that will allow people to see through walls. He says, “My short term goal would be?to make a room that has no outside windows appear to have a view to the outside, then the wall would appear to be invisible.”
The cloak works by projecting an image onto itself of what is behind the wearer, making him seem invisible. It’s made of a new fabric called retro-reflectum. “This material allows you to see a three-dimensional image,” says Tachi. Aside from startling other pedestrians, the cloak can be used by spies. The invisible walls could be used by pilots to see through the floor of the cockpit to the runway below.

Officials in North Dakota are looking for 27,000 American white pelicans that are missing. They’ve abandoned their summer nesting grounds?leaving their eggs unhatched?at the Chase National Wildlife Refuge.
“It’s like they packed up and left in the middle of the night?except they didn’t pack up, they just left,” says Ken Torkelson of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They first noticed the missing birds about 2 weeks ago.
Ranger Kim Hanson says, “We don’t think they were killed. We think they abandoned their nest(s).” The birds that stayed behind seem skittish.

Scientists want to reassure us that while another ice age, as portrayed in the film The Day After Tomorrow, is definitely in our future, it won’t happen again soon. While this may be true in the natural course of events, global warming could cause it reoccur much sooner than expected.
The next Ice Age is at least 15,000 years in our future?unless global warming changes the equation. The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) says, “Without human influence, we could expect the present warm period to last at least another 15,000 years.” This data comes from new evidence from the deepest, oldest Antarctica ice core ever extracted, that traces the weather back 740,000 years.
