Another possible location of Atlantis?   Huge underwater landscape discovered near Iceland

Buried deep beneath the sediment of the North Atlantic Ocean lies an ancient, lost landscape with furrows cut by rivers and peaks that once belonged to mountains. Geologists recently discovered this roughly 56-million-year-old landscape using data gathered for oil companies.  "It looks for all the world like a map of a bit of a country onshore," said Nicky White, the senior researcher. "It is like an ancient fossil landscape preserved 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) beneath the seabed."

Italian art historian believes the Shroud of Turin dates back to the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone in 1315
Luciano Buso claims to have found Giotto di Bondone's signature hidden in the 14ft-long, sepia-coloured burial cloth, as well as the number 15.  The historian believes that the number is a reference to 1315, and that the artist was commissioned in that year to come up with an exact copy of the relic because the original was badly damaged after centuries of being hawked around the Holy Land and Europe.

Australian Department of Defense claims it accidentally lost it's UFO 'X-files'
COULD there be any better fodder for Australia's conspiracy theorists? The Department of Defence has ''lost'' its X-Files.  For decades, Defence officials dutifully investigated an unknown number of UFO sightings being reported all over the country. Intelligence officers attached to the Royal Australian Air Force checked the known movement of aircraft against reported sightings, and politely responded by mail to everyone who claimed they saw floating lights or flat saucers or streaking vapour trails. Some of the files were marked as classified.

UFO sighted over the hills over rural Australia
Adam Cainero believes he captured a photograph of an alien spacecraft hovering above an escarpment near Majors Creek, in the Southern Tablelands near Braidwood. After an unsuccessful weekend fossicking for gold Mr Cainero and a friend were making the long trip home when he stopped to take a snap of the steep mountain they had driven down.  When he got home, Mr Cainero said he realised he had found gold of another kind after all.  "I just took a picture of the mountain range and the sun was in my eyes so I just kind of pointed and shot," Mr Cainero said. "Then we looked at the picture - we were, like, no way."  With its shape and its position in the sky, Mr Cainero said he immediately knew the black object was a UFO.

'Flying object' falls to the sky in Florida
Several Polk County viewers called FOX 13 yesterday evening to report something in the sky.  The callers believed the object may have been a meteor or other object entering Earth's atmosphere.  Photos sent by one viewer showed the bright object with some sort of vapor or smoke trail behind it. They were taken at around 5:45 p.m.  It's not clear if the object was a passenger jet with its exhaust trail illuminated by the setting sun, or if it was a meteor or piece of space junk being burned up as it entered the atmosphere.  FOX 13 has been unable to reach any experts who could confirm either theory.

Sydney jury watch graphic video of Black Magic-Rape case involving a demonic voice called 'King Russell'

Frances Psichogios, her husband Arthur and their friend Tony Golossian are charged with a string of sex offences against two women.  Today a Supreme Court jury watched footage from the day Frances Psichogios was arrested more than two years ago.  In the video she tells detectives how she took a woman to naked prayer sessions led by Golossian to help her lift a curse using black magic.  She describes how she told the woman she might feel things that are not actually happening.  But she repeatedly rejects claims the woman was drugged and raped, saying "this is sickening ... he's a healer".  The court also heard a recording of a phone call in which a demonic-sounding voice tells the alleged victim to have sex with Arthur Psichogios.

Paul the Psychic Octopus dies at the age of two
Paul the Octopus – take a bow – there are not many cephalopods that unite the world, there are possibly less humans who achieve this honour, but your clairvoyant abilities brought joy to many.  A resounding boo to the Wikipedia writers who anonymously suggest your abilities were not entirely psychic. They don’t even concede that you were blessed with luck.  They claim light intensity, or minor chemical differences on the surface of each box may have introduced an element of bias to your decisions.  But I am a proficient reader of the countenance of the humble Octopus Vulgaris and I saw no trickery in those kind, domed eyes. Not a hint of subterfuge in any of your legs.

Vatican astronomer exclaims, "I'd love to baptize ET"!
Intelligent aliens may be living among the stars and are likely to have souls, a senior Vatican scientist said yesterday.  The Pope's astronomer, Guy Consolmagno, said he would be happy to 'baptise an al ien' - but admitted that the chances of communicating with life outside the Earth were low.  Speaking at the British Science Festival in Birmingham, Dr Consolmagno also dismissed Creationism and claimed that the revival of 'intelligent design' - the controversial theory that only God can explain gaps in the theory of evolution - was 'bad theology'.

World's very first astronomers may have been Australia's ancient Aborigines
An Australian study has uncovered signs that the country's ancient Aborigines may have been the world's first stargazers, pre-dating Stonehenge and Egypt's pyramids by thousands of years.  Ray Norris said widespread and detailed knowledge of the stars had been passed down through the generations by Aborigines, whose history dates back tens of millennia, in traditional songs and stories.  "We know there's lots of stories about the sky: songs, legends, myths," said Norris, an astronomer for Australia's science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organisation (CSIRO).

UFO captured on camera of airplane passenger flying over Brazil
An astonishing UFO event has taken place in the skies above Brazil. Photographs have come to light of a UFO that monitored a plane and terrified travellers. The incident was first reported by the popular UFO website www.ufocasebook.com.  The man who took the photos as the plane flew over Rio de Janiero (three in total and two of which can be viewed above and below) was a passenger on the airplane who was on vacation.  Several other passengers saw the object in question, which was described by witnesses as an egg-shaped ball of light.  Some passengers screamed in fear as they felt the plane was too close to the UFO, and there was the possibility of a collision between the two craft.  According to statements of passengers, the UFO maneuvered among the clouds, but continued to monitor the aircraft for about two minutes .  The camera used to capture the UFO was a Nokia 3120 Classic.  This publication has extensively reported on small orbs sent by an alien civilization located in Andromeda to monitor Earth and has received information that these orbs enter Earth above Brazil through a star-gate. The orbs are "unmanned" and travel across galaxies at speeds well beyond that of light.  Government scientists studying UFOs make frequent trips to Brazil and will certainly be studying this case.
