11/19/09- Meteor Explodes Over Utah with Force of 1,000 Tons of TNT

Roosters reportedly crowed, and baby birds noisily chirped ready for the day to begin this morning in Utah. The only problem was, it was 2:00 in the morning. Night became day as an explosion lit up the sky with such force, that some residents of Utah thought a nuclear bomb had gone off. Shortly after the initial blinding flash, calls started pouring in to the local news carrier, KSL TV. Excited sky watchers were not sure what they had seen, but many seasoned astronomers estimated it had been a meteor the likes of which had not been seen in the area ever in recorded history.

11/19/09- Chilling Encounters in Haunted Alaska

Of course Alaska has always been considered somewhat of a modern frontier. With accommodations limited and supplies to some of the more remote regions available only by plane, it seems Alaska is one of the most inaccessible places on Earth. It is also one of the most unsung haunted hot-spots in the world. As the sun sets plunging the world into darkness for what can seem like an eternity, specters lurch from the shadows and invade the vision and hearing of residents and visitors alike.

11/19/09- DNA Results: Starchild Skull Only Half Human Hybrid

While visiting her family in the Copper Canyon region, in the mid 1930’s, a hundred miles south from Chihuahua, an American Student discovered a pair of skeletons buried in the dirt. The figures were clearly old, but as she uncovered the dirt from the skulls, she was horrified by what she saw. The second skeleton, much shorter than the first and shaped a bit differently, had the most peculiarly shaped skull. Quickly she covered them up again in a ravine and made plans to have them smuggled out of the village on their way to the United States. The skull she found would become one of the most compelling pieces of evidence of extraterrestrial visitation.

11/19/09- "Thinking" Supercomputer Now Conscious as a Cat

Incredibly, a super computer has been created by IBM that has the thinking capability of a cat at the click of a mouse. Of course the supercomputer, dubbed C2 by the research team putting it together, has raised some serious ethical questions, for example: When is it no longer ethical to turn it off? Though the computer thinks as much as a cat does, it is still in the early stages of development. C2 is quickly developing, however, and has already surpassed the 4 percent mark of human capability. Soon, it is estimated, a computer will exist that thinks as well as a human’s cerebral cortex. The only problem? They still don’t know how it works.

Is there a ghost in the machine stopping CERN from powering up? After scouring the internet for information on CERN, something keeps popping up again and again, and it’s difficult to believe no one has proposed it yet. Of course while this is purely speculative, is it possible that CERN’s LHC could be haunted? At first this may seem like a theory without evidence, but with the theories being thrown around by scientists about time travel, Ghosts don’t seem that unlikely at this point.

Ever since the creation of the cathode ray tube in 1931 there has been an earthly invasion by aliens into our living rooms. Prior to that, thanks to the radio we heard global wars of all worlds broadcast into our living rooms by Marconi’s miracle of invention, radio. The very thought of an alien race visiting Earth brought in a new breed of beings whose limits were confined only by the limits of imagination. But art imitates life, and vice-versa.

11/17/09- Cryptid Confirmed: Pygmy Hippo Killed in Australia

The Pygmy Hippo, once considered a rare species only present in western Africa, has been shot and killed in Australia. The small creature was thought to be a large pig and shot by a hunting expedition. They were amazed, however, when they found it was not a pig but rather the smallest hippo they had ever seen. Could Australia have more of these creatures roaming about? The creature was actually suspected for some time to be in the area, but largely dismissed as a wild story dreamed up for tourists. Of course eyewitness testimony was for years discounted as the legend of the tiny hippo circulated.

With fears of 2012 on the horizon, and many interpreting the Mayan Calendar as the last days of humanity, it’s fun and important to take a look at doomsdays throughout history so we can contrast the differences and similarities between this upcoming 2012 prophecy and previous prophecies. Interestingly enough, the earliest account of a doomsday prophecy was an Assyrian clay tablet from 2800 BC citing moral decay as a sign of the end times. Almost five thousand years later the ritual of waiting for the end continues.

During a recent ghost hunting expedition in the Wellsburg Aspen Manor Mansion in West Virginia, psychics began to feel ill when entering the basement. Members of the paranormal team wondered what could possibly be so drastically wrong. Soon equipment was brought in, and there seemed to be a concentrated area of energy around one area of wall. Upon closer inspection, the wall actually seemed like it may have been closed up separately from the rest of the wall. The team was shocked when the wall was demolished and out tumbled the bones of an unknown person who had been sawed to pieces before being walled up.

Living in the Mediterranean around 470 BC, she is the stuff of legends, who ultimately died because of love.

This week the Pontifical Academy of Sciences holds a conference of astrobiology on Earth as well as throughout the Universe.

11/15/09- The Doppelgänger

The Doppelgänger has had a long history in mythology both contemporary and ancient. The Norse vardøger was seen as a symbol of foreboding and death for the viewer. Often, these apparitions are held with the same fear and reverence as other ghosts. Doppelgänger in literal German is derived from the words “Double” and “Goer.” To see the face of your own doppelgänger, it is said, is to see your own death. But it wasn’t simply anyone who saw the dreaded doppelgänger, as many famous people saw them as well, including presidents.

In human DNA, only 97 percent is actually used in coding for anything useful. The rest of the standard human’s genetic material is called “junk DNA.” Junk DNA, it was thought, held no purpose, and served merely as a placeholder for the more useful DNA around it. Recently, however, researchers on The Human Genome project have been conducting several tests and come to a shocking conclusion: This Junk DNA may hold genetic material that is extra terrestrial in origin!

Nina Kulagina, or the ’Soviet Psionic’ as she became known was born in 1927 in a small village in Soviet Russia. At the age of 14 she joined the Soviet tank division with the hopes of serving The Red Army. After Stalin’s ill fated Molotov-Ribbentrop nonaggression pact with the Nazis resulted in the invasion and eventual defeat of the Nazis in Russia, Nina left the Red Army to pursue a domestic life as a housewife. But then in the 1960s, she found that something about her was very different. Her talents would soon result in her being an international figure, and a contender in the unspoken “psionic” race between the US and the USSR.

Shortly before the iron curtain fell on the tragedy known as The Cold War, there was a politically high charged chess game in 1978 held by the two greatest world champions at that time. Viktor Korchnoi and Anatoly Karpov sat together in Marano Italy. Korchnoi, after defecting from the Soviet Union, played without a country’s flag to represent him.
