A passing coronal mass ejection from the sun caused an illumination response from an otherwise invisible object near Mercury that was captured both by NASA’s Heliospheric Imager 1 satellite and by the SECCHI-A spacecraft. Initially, SECCHI staff explained it as a video afterimage of the planet on the previous day, but other imagery of Mercury taken during other coronal mass ejections do not show the same effect, and the explanation has since been removed from their website. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s wrong, as a similar ‘object’ has been observed near Mars by SECCHI-B. It could well be that what is being seen is an after-image of a previous day’s run, just as NASA says.

Movie director Steven Spielberg says the 1982 film "ET" was based on real UFO encounters that occurred in Kentucky. During the writing of the screenplay, the film morphed from being a scary horror film into a family-friendly drama.

Chinese archeologists say that they have discovered that 12,000 years ago, an alien race used some regions of their country as a massive headquarters here on Earth.

While it must be realized that much of the news coming out of China is bogus, we are willing to consider that something strange went on there in the past.

UFOs are nothing new: On his website, Colin Andrews reports on the discovery of a UFO sighting in the UK in 1733. It was "a report of a silver disc darting across the sky as fast as a falling star."

UFOs have been causing problems for CERN in the form of mysterious rapid beam lights dumping "dust particles" on the Collider. Strange things happened in the past as well: Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the National Security Agency (NSA) has declassified a report from 1957 saying that 29 mysterious signals were received and verified as being "of extraterrestrial origin."
