One of the stumbling blocks being faced by the development of bionic prosthetics is the difficulty of developing a method of controlling an artificial limb, especially in a manner that would seem natural to the wearer. Advances in creating brain-machine interfaces have seen major advancements in recent years, but are still hampered by the difficulty of picking up the brain’s faint signals by sensors placed on the scalp.

Stronger signals can be received if the sensors are placed directly on (or in) the brain, but that method requires invasive, and potentially dangerous brain surgery. However, a new implant inserted through the subject’s blood vessels might help reduce the risk of inserting such implants.

This object was photographed on January 19 at 1:10 PM in Newton Abbot, Devon in the UK. We can find no evidence of the photo being doctored and it is not a computer graphic. Therefore, we are grading this A, Probably True. The object is observed at an angle though, which can mean that it was thrown from below. In this case, though, the distance appears such that this is not a likely scenario. The witness reports to Latest UFO SIghtings: "I could clearly see that the object was in fact a flying saucer and I could see a dome on the top of the saucer. The flying saucer turned back in the direction from where it had come from and then disappeared off into the distance and out of sight.read more

This week, we go back to the beginnings of search, to the Pyramid Texts from 4,000 years ago. We find in the ancient Egyptian word "ta-ntr," or "holy ground" a clue to the kind of energies we need in order to ascend from the wheel of life, which is now known as tantra. As always, much of this material is entirely new with Whitley Strieber, as he continues on this first-of-a-kind journey between the world of the living and "what we call death," led by his wife Anne.

Of all of the sources of images of potentially anomalous objects, video feeds from orbiting NASA spacecraft have provided a treasure trove of images and video for UFO hunters. Ultimately, the data that comes from our space agencies is also controlled and can be censored by said agencies, a fact that can potentially hinder civilian efforts to discover anomalous images. But what if someone were to bypass the middleman, and gather data from orbit on their own?
