The past year as national UFO Examiner has given me a close-up look at what Americans are reporting in their skies these days and how people are reacting to those reports. Straddling the fence between the many theories and debates on aliens and their presence on our planet, I attempted to merely report on the most recent cases as told [...]

These are the stunning images shot for an underwater film created using revolutionary technology. The film took four years to shoot and costing a staggering £45 million to produce. But it's easy to see why: 500 hours of unedited film were shot using remote-controlled mini helicopters, divers, hydrodynamic cameras dragged behind boats and top speeds, and carefully tied poles.

The news was slipped out so as not to attract attention. An amendment was made to an existing document in the freedom of information section of the MoD website, entitled “How to [...]

The first test of the Aeronautics and Cosmonautics Romanian Association's (ARCA) balloon-launched rocket (or “rockoon”) ended in failure when the “inflation arms” used to fill the balloon became entangled in the balloon itself. The arms had to be cut, and the operation – [...]
