UFO's Called To Appear On LIVE TV - Ramon Watkins, who calls himself "Prophet Yahweh" on May 28th astonished a Las Vegas TV crew by apparently calling upon a UFO on command to appear before KNTV News cameras. The station then asked him, to call UFO's on live TV on the 1st June and he agreed. Then apparently, he said that they backed out, under pressure of some unnamed kind. He said "It seems like the station is coming under great pressure to not cover any more of my summoning's." His website is now disabled for 45 days and there are no reports of UFO's over Las Vegas. Now Mr. Watkins has claimed that Las Vegas will experience "large-scale UFO sightings between now and the 15th July, when his website will return."
Weird Lights In The Sky - Over the past five years, seven unidentified flying objects have been seen over the Lincolnshire's skies according to newly released information. A blue and white light, plumes of smoke, glowing masses and silently moving objects are just some of the objects which have been seen and recorded by the Ministry of Defence. Under the Freedom of Information Act these details have now been revealed. The Mystery Deepens About Water On Mars - There is a region on Mar's surface with the mineral "Olivine" which is four times larger than estimated, which raises the question of whether water existed on the red planet according to Hawaii and Arizona planetary geologists. Scientists are trying to find out if water was ever on Mars because it is a key element for life and large quantities of Olivine indicate the lack of water. The findings are reported in the June issue of the journal Geology. Olivine is the most susceptible mineral to weathering by water, yet the large quantities seen on Mars are in an ancient area 3 billion to 4 billion years old. This suggests the rocks might have been protected from any water on the surface of Mars or possibly they were never exposed to any. Under many conditions, Olivine rapidly turns into other minerals in the presence of water. More Safety Work Carried Out On Discovery - The space shuttle Discovery is back in the hangar again for more safety work before its scheduled blast off in July. It was already on the launch pad when Nasa decided to install a safer fuel tank and a heater in order to prevent a dangerous build-up of ice, as happened before on the doomed shuttle Columbia. Discovery was taken back to the hanger on the huge caterpillar-tracked platform along the specially built road, almost as wide as a eight-lane highway. The journey was to take 6 to 7 hours as it moved at less than 1 mph but in actual fact took 10 hours after a bearing overheated. An Ice Volcano Spotted On Saturn's Moon Titan - The infrared images of this inactive volcano were taken by the international Cassini spacecraft (Which is part of the Nasa European Space Agency project) when it flew by last October. The 20 mile dome might help explain at the satellite's thick atmosphere and aid in further studies into how life began. Titan is the only solar system moon with an organism-producing nitrogen and methane atmosphere which was like here on Earth early on.The Cassini team say that Cryo-volcanoes- volcanic vents that spew ice instead of lava may be among the ways liquid methane is released onto the intensely-cold surface. The findings have been published in the journal Nature.
Asteroid Hit - Friday the 13th to some people is unlucky. Well, now according to Nasa we can all breathe again. On Friday 13th April,2029 Asteroid 22004 MN4 which is 320 metre's wide was supposed to hit the Earth. This is big enough to punch through Earth's atmosphere devastating a region the size of Texas and if it hit the ocean widespread destruction caused by a tsunamis.
Sighting Of UFO - Wyvcliffe Wellroadhouse, 380km north of Alice Springs on the Stuart Highway, Central Australia, which was once ranked fifth in the world in a study of UFO activity has been having strange visitors again.In April, a tourist took a photo of an object flaring brightly across the night sky, and now a retired bricklayer, Chris Peacock was trying to get to sleep and he saw something that kept him awake until daybreak. Nasa Space Probe Searching For Water In Space - The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is due to launch on October 2005. and a Russian made device will be mounted on an American space probe to search for water and to find locations for future bases on the Moon. Scientists are hoping to find ice on the poles of the Moon using Russian equipment LEND said Igor Mitrofanov, who is head of Laboratory of the Institute for Space Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This device is a modified version of the neutron detector HEND which was installed on the American orbiter Odysseus. It has been used for four years now for detection of water on Mars. Water on the Moon can only occur in the shape of ice accumulated on the poles, in the craters devoid of sunshine, in the so called "cold traps." A small quantity of neutrons is a sign of the presence of ice. The orbiter will carry five more American made devices, to be used in conjunction with LEND. One will be used for drawing lunar temperature charts to locate areas with the lowest temperatures. Locations with water could be used as sites for building space bases in the long run. Solar generators could be installed in the locations where the Sun shines all the time and they could produce electric power for turning ice into hydrogen fuel. This could be used by interplanetary spacecraft.
Solar Sail Craft Lost - The launch of the world's first Solar Sail craft has hit a problem. Russian sailors launched the craft from a nuclear submarine, but the craft Cosmos 1 went missing a short time after. Nothing has been heard from it and the location in orbit is not known. According to Russian news services, the rocket's first stage experienced an engine problem, which might mean that the sail either shot into the wrong orbital location or that it never achieved orbit at all.
