A spectacular array of lights were observed over the Arthur Kill near Carteret, N.J. on the night of Sunday-Monday July 15-16. These lights appeared similar to lights that were observed over Phoenix on March 13, 1997. The Phoenix lights were observed and photographed by thousands in the Phoenix area around 8:30 at night. They were later attributed to a flare drop over a military test area, but investigators doubted that disconnected flares falling through the atmosphere could account for their extremely regular motion.

Last week a small town in Tennessee felt three big booms, several days apart, that has left them rattled. At about 10:45 a.m. last Friday, radio station WJKM in Hartsville, Tennessee was knocked off the air by a very powerful energy blast. The weather was clear, with no rain or lightning. The radio station?s computers went down and their phone lines were knocked out. Several power transformers were blown several blocks away from the studio, with smoke billowing out of one of them. All nearby phone lines were also down.

WJKM secretary Jennifer and sales manager Steve found a small bird still alive hopping around with its wings and tail feathers burned off. They saw many birds that were badly burned but still alive.

New statistical analyses show that taller people, on average, tend to live longer lives than shorter people. Scientists wonder if this has always been true.

To answer that question, British researchers analyzed 490 sets of adult skeletal remains from an excavation site at a church in northeastern England. Researchers at the University of Bristol, led by David Gunnell, compared the estimated age of the deceased to the length of their long bones, such as the femur (leg) and humerus (arm). ?The longer the bones, the more likely the person was taller,? says Gunnell, who published a paper on his research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

A 2,300 mph rail link from Britain across the Atlantic to the U.S. could be built by 2030. The undersea link would take just half an hour to get from New York or Boston to Liverpool or Bristol.

Engineers say the technology already exists to build such a supersonic rail link and prototypes are already being built in Japan. Frank Davidson, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says it could replace air travel. Davidson was involved in the Channel Tunnel project that connects England and France, known as the ?Chunnel.?
