Mission accomplished: a collection of rat brain cells hasflown a virtual F-22 fighter jet from a Petri dish.

Approximately 25,000 interconnected rat neurons were culledfrom the motor cortex of mature rat embryos and ?seeded? ina Petri dish. The neurons soon formed a complex web ofinterconnections, transforming the collection of cells intoa ?live computation device?, says Thomas DeMarse, aUniversity of Florida biomedical engineer who wasresponsible for the project.

The neurons were able to interpret signals from a virtualF-22 fighter jet, indicating the plane?s movement andweather conditions. The in vitro neurons then modified theflight path accordingly by transmitting signals back to theplane?s controls.

An experiment with implications almost beyond imaginationhas confirmed that earth’s rotation actually twists thefabric of space and time.

An international group of scientists assembled by NASA hasconfirmed that Einstein was correct in his theory thatplanetary rotation would do this.

Scientists at the Joint Centre for Earth System Technologyand the University of Maryland measured a ?frame-dragging?effect on satellites orbiting the earth, suggesting that thepull of the Earth?s rotation on surrounding space causessatellites to shift slightly on its axis.

It also may be responsible for a whole range of differentphysical and even perceptual effects that are presentlylittle understood.

UFOs are sometimes identified as “Earthquake Lights,” but arecurring, long-duration and high altitide over the SantaCruz Mountains in California does not seem to fit that category.

The object was well above the horizon, and earthquake lightstypically manifest close to the ground, along stressingfault lines. They do not necessarily mean that an earthquakeis immiment.

Osama bin Laden has been located, but is in an area ofPakistan that the government cannot reach because the entirepopulation is hostile to the central authority. John Lehman,a member of the 911 Commission said in a speech yesterdaythat bin Laden had definitely been found.

Lehman was Secretary of the Navy during the Reaganadministration, and was among the 10 members of the 911commission.

While delivering a speech on terrorism at Pitzer College inClaremont, Lehman said that bin Laden is in Baluchistan, inSouth Vaziristan, in Pakistan. However, US troops are unableto enter the region due to the fact that a substantial forceis needed, and the US military is already overextended dueto the wars in Iraq and Pakistan.
