DOCTORS in Mallow, Ireland, are puzzled by the birth of a green baby. But single mom Bridget O'Leary, 26, says there's a very simple explanation -- she claims she was raped by a leprechaun. "He had his way with me, he did," says the attractive barmaid. "He got me drunk and slipped me his little green shamrock." By all accounts O'Leary has a sterling reputation as a hardworking, upstanding individual. "Bridget is a fine lass, and no mistake," says Tom Shaughnessey, 44, the owner of the Brick and the Rose Pub where O'Leary works. "I've never known her to lie...

CHRIS Peacock didn't believe in UFOs - until he saw one two nights in a row. The retired bricklayer was star-gazing while he tried to get back to sleep at 3am on Monday. Instead he saw something that kept him awake until daybreak. "I looked at the stars and then one of them looked like it moved," he said. "It became bright, then moved up and down and made weird shapes in the sky." Mr Peacock, 53, woke his wife and showed her the object. His 20-year-old daughter also saw it as she was getting ready to go to work....

Almost 50 percent of Americans, according to recent polls, and millions of people elsewhere in the world believe that UFOs are real. For many it is a deeply held belief. For decades there have been sightings of UFOs by millions and millions of people. It is a mystery that only science can solve, and yet the phenomenon remains largely unexamined. Most of the reporting on this subject by the mainstream media holds those who claim to have seen UFOs up to ridicule. On Feb. 24, "Peter Jennings Reporting: UFOs — Seeing Is Believing" takes a fresh look at the UFO...

WHY would a serious journalist like Peter Jennings tackle a silly subject like UFOs? Maybe it's because 40 million Americans can't be wrong. It turns out that 40 million of us have claimed to have seen UFOs, while half — yes, half — of all Americans believe in their existence… < snip > So, why, if millions of people have seen UFOs, are the eyewitnesses immediately reduced to the level of raving loonies (from "lunar")? Interestingly enough, that is the legacy of another successful government PR campaign…< snip > The feds thought they could keep a lid on UFO sightings...

A new finding in India: Extraterrestrial UFOs have the capabilities to disable all nuke missiles in the world including that of India’s, Pakistan’s and China’s Indian scientists are slowly understanding that the Extraterrestrials have very unique power of jamming the operational characteristics of any device made by human beings. If they wish they can disable any equipment instantaneously. That may be one of the reasons why the UFOs are never really caught on the non-manipulated authenticate camera that can really prove their existence. They can easily jam the operations of any nuke missiles in the world including that of India,...

JAMES REYNOLDS SCIENCE CORRESPONDENT AMATEUR radio hams are usually excited by the faint buzz of a distant shortwave station, but a group of scientists believe they have received a message from extra-terrestrials. Astronomers think that a signal picked up by a radio telescope last year shows the highest probability yet that ET’s family may have returned his call. In February 2003, scientists involved in the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI) pointed the huge radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, at about 200 sections of the sky. Unexplained radio signals had been detected twice by the same telescope in these areas...

    Mysterious signals from 1000 light years away   19:00 01 September 04     In February 2003, astronomers involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) pointed the massive radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, at around 200 sections of the sky. The same telescope had previously detected unexplained radio signals at least twice from each of these regions, and the astronomers were trying to reconfirm the findings. The team has now finished analysing the data, and all the signals seem to have disappeared. Except one, which has got stronger. This radio signal, now seen on three separate occasions, is...

Comments by freed nuclear spy Mordechai Vanunu that Israel was behind the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy failed to bring smiles to government officials Sunday. One would expect that such claims would portray Vanunu as a man with a credibility problem, but as far as the defense establishment is concern, the former nuclear technician still has secrets to reveal and a declared goal of ending Israel's nuclear program. He shouldn't be talking to the media and is actually barred from meeting with foreigners. Nevertheless, the London-base al-Hayat published Sunday an interview is claims it had with Vanunu. According...

Who is Rael and why does he want to clone humans? 12/27/2002 Associated Press The religious sect connected to the company claiming it has produced the first human clone is clearly unlike anything that science has grappled with. The group's founder says he met little green space aliens on a visit to a French volcano in the 1970s. That man -- a former French journalist named Claude Vorilhon, who now calls himself Rael -- says the extraterrestrials told him they created life on earth through genetic engineering. Brigitte Boisselier, the chemist who made Friday's cloning announcement, is a Raelian...

Neighboring Mars may look dry as a bone, but experts are finding evidence of life-sustaining water hidden below the planet's rugged terrain. The quantities discovered so far by instruments aboard NASA's $300 million Mars Odyssey mission equal twice the volume of Lake Michigan. Suspected for more than three decades, the watery findings compiled by the Odyssey after reaching its destination a year ago are a signpost of life on the Red Planet. "We know water is essential for life. We know water has changed the face of Mars to a great extent," the mission's chief scientist, Stephen Saunders, told the...
