What does the Face on Mars really look like close-up?

It was the startling photograph that spawned a thousand conspiracy theories.  A photograph taken by the American Viking 1 Orbiter in July 1976 appeared to show a hill in the shape of a human face on the dusty surface of Mars.  But a new photograph released today, which was taken with Nasa’s high-definition HiRISE camera, finally shows the Face on Mars for what it really is: just a large, rocky hill in the middle of the Martian desert.

British woman spots mysterious blue lights above Newbury skies

A Newbury woman wants to know if any other residents spotted strange goings on in the sky on Sunday night.  Sandra Bartholomew was having a bonfire at her Cromwell Road house with husband, Andrew, when the pair spotted a fast-moving blue light in the sky at about 10.30pm.  She said: "At first we thought it was a balloon but then it went shooting past and up towards the moon."  Mrs Bartholomew said the mysterious blue light was definitely not a Chinese latern - something often mistaken for a UFO.  She added: "We realised it was not [a lantern] because it was going to fast and there was hardly any wind and it was also going sideways."  Did you see the mysterious blue light? Or do you have any idea what the object may have been?

Oregon City faith healers plead not guilty in the death of their infant child

Two members of an Oregon City faith-healing church were charged Thursday with first-degree criminal mistreatment for failing to provide medical care for their infant daughter.  Timothy and Rebecca Wyland pleaded not guilty during a brief appearance before Clackamas County Circuit Judge Robert D. Herndon and were released without bail.  The charges were expected. During a custody hearing last week, a prosecutor disclosed that the Wylands had been indicted by a grand jury.  Child-protection authorities took custody of the couple's 7-month-old daughter, Alayna, after she developed a growth over her left eye that ballooned over several months to the size of a tennis ball and threatens her vision.

Uruguay Air Force investigates wave of UFO sightings

A UFO that was seen by hundreds of Uruguayan citizens participating in a celebratory march near that nation's Legislative Palace in the capital city of Montevideo is now being investigated by the Air Force Multiple photos and a video of the UFO that has not been released have been collected by the investigation team headed by Colonel Ariel Sanchez. All up 30 photos have been sent in by eyewitnesses (one such photo can be seen above and a series of closeups of the object can be seen below). The team of investigators includes researchers from the national Aerospace agency's remote sensing department. Witnesses are also being interviewed.  Colonel Sanchez reminded concerned citizens that over 90% of UFOs can be explained and are not extraterrestrial in origin. Colonel Sanchez stated that this particular UFO might well be a plastic bag blowing in the wind. A number of witnesses however are doubtful of that explanation. Some UFO researchers have noted that the UFO looks suspiciously like the probes that are allegedly currently being sent by an alien civilization monitoring Earth, according to a number of aerospace agency ex-insiders.

Ghost hunting family capture spooky images at old, abandoned church in South Carolina

My son and I went to South Carolina to visit his godmother Joy and her husband last weekend, Joy is also a believer in the paranormal and there is a church that is on a one lane dirt road out in the middle of no-where called Horns Creek Baptist Church dated back to 1790. There is a small cemetary on the side and a few graves in the back. All seemed to be dated in the 1800's and in need of repair. One is a little girl who died at age 2. Very sad. Anyways, we pulled up and got out of the truck and walked up the wooden steps into the church. What caught my eye was what appeared to be 2 peep holes.

Is the conspiracy theory that UFO's are a CIA invention true?

Ufology is a faith that includes many beliefs, from the oddly popular one about Nazi aliens who live under the ground to David Icke's contention that the Duke of Edinburgh is in fact a shape-changing, blood-sucking alien lizard.  But here's the core of the faith - that some UFO sightings and encounters are real, the U.S. government knows all about these extraterrestrial visitations, and they've mounted a huge conspiracy to keep the aliens secret and us in the dark.  This book threatens to demolish that faith. Because here Mark Pilkington sets out to prove that the U.S. government really has been conducting a top-secret UFO conspiracy - only one designed not to hide UFOs but publicise them, fuelling and even creating the major UFO myths. Flying saucers, alien abductions, crash-landed spacecraft, secret underground bases in New Mexico - they were all created by the U.S. government.

Finding reincarnated pets is the passion of animal psychics who wish to be taken seriously!

Pet psychics are serious about their jobs. Dead serious.  In fact, to find a missing pet, pet psychics like Ellen Kohn will turn to reincarnation -- looking into an animals' past lives -- for clues to where it might be.  This was the case last year when Christine Horowitz lost her 13-year-old golden shepherd, Dina, to cancer. Distraught, Horowitz remembered Kohn, who had mentioned contacting animals in the afterlife during a previous consultation about her mother's missing cat.

Reoccurring ghost of former student still haunts Kansas State University theater

A dead student’s ghost has haunted K-State’s Purple Masque Theatre for more than 30 years, spilling paint cans, stealing costumes and flickering lights.  Ask anyone familiar with Nick the ghost, and you’ll hear some story of misfortune or odd occurrence. Many believe he is still at large today.  But with plans to move the Masque, and build a new Welcome Center in its place, what will happen to Nick? Will his soul still linger beneath the stone seats of East Stadium, or will he follow the Purple Masque to its new location?  Alexis Warden, freshman in theater, said she thinks Nick will stay in East Stadium.  “His connection isn’t to the theater itself, it’s the connection to that area on campus,” Warden said. “I don’t know if he will stick around and ‘haunt’ the new Welcome Center or not, whether he sticks around or not just depends on him, I guess.”

Man claims innocence over death of wife during exorcism

For the past 29 months, Jan David Clark has sat in an isolation cell in the Ector County Detention Center wondering how things could have gone so awry.  Though he admits to killing his wife during an attempted exorcism in February 2008, he maintains he never intended to harm the woman he “loved and spoiled” for 17 years.  “That was not a willing thing that took place,” Clark, 63, recalled in a jailhouse interview Tuesday. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s still a supernatural thing.”

Crop circle near Woolaston attracts attention of Norwegian visiting the United Kingdom

Nils Kenneth Fordal, who was informed of the new crop circle near Woolaston on July 19, has studied crop circles for years.  Fordal’s been going to Wiltshire with fellow-enthusiast Dorthe Elisabeth Wennerfeldt for several weeks every year since 2006. The region has been known for its increasingly elaborate designs since the 1970s, National Geographic News reports.  He tells the BBC this particular formation “is a nice circle” and “quite special because it is the first time we have been into a formation so close to the water.”

Former Clinton Chief of Staff, John Podesta, writes forward to new UFO book, "UFO's: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go On the Record", by Leslie Kean

He’s not saying he was abducted by a UFO and probed or anything, but former President Clinton’s chief of staff John Podesta is lending his name to a new book on UFOs.  Podesta has written the foreword for “UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record” by investigative journalist Leslie Kean, which will be released Aug. 10.  This isn’t that shocking, as Podesta has been on the record before as an advocate for the Pentagon to release classified government papers on UFO investigations.

New archeological evidence may prove new origins for the Dead Sea Scrolls

The recent decoding of a cryptic cup, the excavation of ancient Jerusalem tunnels, and other archaeological detective work may help solve one of the great biblical mysteries: Who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls?  The new clues hint that the scrolls, which include some of the oldest known biblical documents, may have been the textual treasures of several groups, hidden away during wartime—and may even be "the great treasure from the Jerusalem Temple," which held the Ark of the Covenant, according to the Bible.  The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered more than 60 years ago in seaside caves near an ancient settlement called Qumran. The conventional wisdom is that a breakaway Jewish sect called the Essenes—thought to have occupied Qumran during the first centuries B.C. and A.D.—wrote all the parchment and papyrus scrolls.  But new research suggests many of the Dead Sea Scrolls originated elsewhere and were written by multiple Jewish groups, some fleeing the circa-A.D. 70 Roman siege that destroyed the legendary Temple in Jerusalem.

Six Russian Satanists (and cannibals) get twenty years for murder in the city of Yaroslavl, near Moscow

 The six were found guilty of "murdering four people with the aim of carrying out an initiation ritual into a sect and of desecrating the bodies of the dead," a court in the city of Yaroslavl, north-east of Moscow, said in a statement. The group, four of whom were minors at the time, killed the four teenagers in June 2008, prosecutors said. They then desecrated the bodies and stole their possessions. The dismembered bodies of the teenagers were found buried in the forest in August that year.

Heinrich Himmler hired alchemist to create gold out of stone at Dachau concentration camp

Nazi chiefs believed they could turn stones, sand and soil into gold, according to a new book.  Heinrich Himmler, head of Hitler's SS police force, was tricked into thinking that precious metals could be produced in this way - and then used to buy weapons to strengthen the Third Reich.  The Nazis set up a secret unit in the Dachau concentration camp before the Second World War, and appointed Karl Malchus, an alchemist, who convinced Himmler that he could make gold from stones, soil and even paraffin.

Research done by analyst at MIT reveals whats behind many of the recent UFO sightings over China

Those probably were not UFOs that hovered over China recently, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology analyst said.  The images of the UFOs have caused quite a stir in China and on blogs around the world.  But many of the images appear to be faked with the software program Photoshop and the ones that were not faked seem to depict the launch of a Chinese ballistic missile, said Geoffrey Forden, an MIT weapons analyst.
Forden, who also specializes in Russian and Chinese space systems, published his analysis on a blog called "Arms Control Wonk."

Possessed elephant rampages through a Liberian lumber company killing one employee, then it's trapped and crushed to death...and maybe eaten?!

The unlikeliest of activists — a rampaging elephant that locals claim was supernaturally possessed — has aired rural Liberians' frustrations with the country's profitable timber industry.  The elephant killed a logging worker in June when it charged onto the local company's property, and had also been known to menace other employees and local farmers in previous weeks.  This unlikely confluence of superstition, corporate activity and a big, mad, male elephant ended last week in a macabre draw, when logging officials killed the elephant after it killed the logging company employee.

The idea of using lasers as weapons has been around almost as long as the laser itself, invented in 1960.
