An airline passenger flying out of New York City captured remarkably clear footage of a saucer-shaped object zipping past the plane at an incredible speed. The tantalizing video was reportedly recorded this past Monday on a flight from NYC to Florida and subsequently popped up on Reddit by way of a friend of the person who filmed the peculiar anomaly. In the footage, as the airliner ascends over the city, there is a split-second moment wherein something strange crosses the sky outside the window of the plane. When the footage is slowed down or paused (as seen in the presentation...

In his first interview since dropping out of the presidential race, DeSantis told Blaze TV’s Steve Deace that the blame is on Iowa caucusgoers who rallied behind front-runner Donald Trump even though many didn’t like him. “They did not want to see Trump nominated again, but they had basically been told that it was inevitable, that it was over,” DeSantis told Deace on Tuesday. DeSantis, who lost to Trump in the Iowa caucuses earlier this month, added that those voters were “checked out” and had “just totally dropped out of the process.” The Florida governor told Deace he’d consider running...

Renowned ufologist Scott Waring recently made an intriguing claim regarding photographs taken during the American lunar mission Apollo 17, suggesting the presence of a peculiar portal from which a UFO emerged. According to Waring, images documented during the December 7 to 19, 1972 Apollo 17 mission, and available on NASA’s official website, unveiled an enigmatic portal. This portal allegedly served as an emergence point for an unidentified flying object (UFO). Waring asserts that a video recording of the event supports his assertions. In the images, an oval-shaped portal emitting a vibrant blue-violet light appeared directly on the lunar surface. From...

Tantalising footage captures a mysterious creature emerging from Loch Ness before it sinks back to the depths as a boat approaches. Eoin O’Faodhagain was watching the water via webcam when he spotted what “could well be the Loch Ness Monster” surfacing in the distance. “The portion of the creature that appeared out of the water first, looked like the head and neck of something,” the Nessie hunter said, “When this upper portion of its body submerged, a long black object appeared – it could be at least eight feet long. Immediately, the black, round, hump-like shape rolled over whale-like in...

When Alicia Griggs steps outside her suburban Fort Lauderdale home, Florida’s latest invasive species comes a-hoppin’ down the street: lionhead rabbits. The bunnies, which sport an impressive flowing mane around their heads, want the food Griggs carries. But she also represents their best chance of survival and moving where this domesticated breed belongs: inside homes, away from cars, cats, hawks, Florida heat and possibly government-hired exterminators. Griggs is spearheading efforts to raise the $20,000 to $40,000 it would cost for a rescue group to capture, neuter, vaccinate, shelter and then give away the estimated 60 to 100 lionheads now populating...

Spending time outside in nature has its perks, and wildlife encounters can certainly be one of them. Some visitors in the Rio Grande Valley State Park had a different kind of encounter, though, when their trail camera caught something on film that they couldn't identify. They sent the tape to the Texas Parks and Wildlife team, who then released it to the public in a popular Facebook post. As you can imagine, the mystery creature has everyone talking. Guesses are pouring in front left and right as to what animal it is, though some of our favorite guesses are more...

Our Solar System is a pretty busy place. There are millions of objects moving around – everything from planets, to moons, to comets, and asteroids. And each year we're discovering more and more objects (usually small asteroids or speedy comets) that call the Solar System home. Astronomers had found all eight of the main planets by 1846. But that doesn't stop us from looking for more. In the past 100 years, we've found smaller distant bodies we call dwarf planets, which is what we now classify Pluto as. The discovery of some of these dwarf planets has given us reason...

A small asteroid the size of a bus will make an extremely close approach to Earth on Thursday (July 7), passing within just 56,000 miles (90,000 kilometers)...And just a few days ago, no one knew it was coming The asteroid, named 2022 NF, is expected to pass safely by our planet, according to calculations by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Astronomers discovered the sneaky asteroid using data from the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) — a system of cameras and telescopes based in Hawaii with the primary goal of detecting near-Earth objects, or NEOs. On...

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his government on Thursday to come up with new measures to support the domestic car industry, which has seen sales crater since Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine. Amid a crunch on demand from Russian buyers and severe logistics problems as a result of Western sanctions slapped on Moscow, car sales slumped a record 83.5% in May, according to figures from the Association of European Businesses (AEB). "I would like to ask the government to tell us in detail what swift measures it is taking to support the auto industry and stabilise the internal market,"...

A senior software engineer at Google who signed up to test Google's artificial intelligence tool called LaMDA (Language Model for Dialog Applications), has claimed that the AI robot is in fact sentient and has thoughts and feelings. During a series of conversations with LaMDA, 41-year-old Blake Lemoine presented the computer with various of scenarios through which analyses could be made. They included religious themes and whether the artificial intelligence could be goaded into using discriminatory or hateful speech. Lemoine came away with the perception that LaMDA was indeed sentient and was endowed with sensations and thoughts all of its own....

Around noon on Tuesday, Biden addressed the American public on the state of the economy. In addition to saying that his administration has made "extraordinary progress" with the economy, Biden blamed all economic hardship on COVID-19 and Russia.

Keck Observatory on Maunakea, Hawaiʻi Island—a team of researchers conducting the Young Supernova Experiment (YSE) transient survey observed the red supergiant during its last 130 days leading up to its deadly detonation."
