BOSTON - A Harvard astrophysicist has revealed the exact date a mysterious "interstellar object" is set to reach our planet. Professor Avi Loeb has been monitoring what he has dubbed an "alien probe" since its discovery on July 1. Loeb has proposed that this interstellar traveller, designated 3I/ATLAS, could be carrying surveillance equipment or even weaponry. "It may come
NEW YORK - A hidden source of clean energy could power the planet for more than a hundred thousand years if tapped into, according to new research. Sources of hydrogen could be hiding amid the Earth's crust -- enough to power Earth at its current energy needs for the next 170,000 years, according to a
ANTARCTICA - The Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica is nearly 80 miles wide, making it the largest glacier in the world by width. If it collapses entirely, the resulting changes could raise global sea levels. Scientists are racing to understand the forces at work before it’s too late. To better understand how this could unfold,
NEW YORK - An object has been discovered orbiting the sun far beyond Pluto, calling into question theories about a possible Planet Nine in the solar system. The object, for now, designated 2023 KQ14 and nicknamed “Ammonite,” was found by astronomers in Japan using its Subaru Telescope in Hawaii. Announced in a paper published today in Nature Astronomy, the
BOSTON - Earlier this month, astronomers spotted a bizarre interstellar object hurtling through the solar system. Dubbed 3I/ATLAS, this 12 miles (20km) long visitor has travelled to our sun from another star on a journey that could have taken billions of years. But now, a leading physicist says he has spotted the key piece of evidence that
NEW YORK - It’s long been assumed that if alien civilisations do exist, they’re a hell of a lot smarter than we are. And yet, whilst a team of scientists agrees that this is probably true, they’ve also proven that they’re clever enough themselves to track these ETs down. The international team of researchers, based
NEW YORK - Key Atlantic Ocean currents that appear to be slowing down due to climate change may be more resilient to global warming than scientists previously thought — thanks to a secret back-up system, a new study shows. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a web of currents that loops around the Atlantic like
DETROIT - Michigan residents have reported 36 UFO sightings this year, most recently on June 29 a person reported seeing a mass group of reflective objects near Detroit. "Mass grouping of high altitude random pattern reflective objects — dozens," the report to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) said. "Dozens of highly reflective high altitude objects moving north
WASHINGTON DC - A recent article in the Wall Street Journal suggests that the Pentagon itself fueled much of the “mythology” surrounding UFO stories. Citing current and former government sources, reporters Joel Schectman and Aruna Viswanatha write that a decades-long hazing ritual left “hundreds and hundreds” of Air Force personnel convinced that the Pentagon harbored a “secret
BOSTON - In a groundbreaking advancement poised to revolutionize the electronics industry, researchers have unveiled a quantum material technique that promises to make devices 1,000 times faster and exponentially smaller, heralding a new era of high-speed technology. In a remarkable breakthrough, researchers have developed a technique that could transform the electronics industry, propelling devices into
