Rugby Ball shaped UFO reported by pilot

An airline pilot reported a near miss with a UFO shaped like a rugby ball while flying near London's Heathrow Airport, according to video from Huffington Post.

An aviation board launched an investigation after the pilot's report, which said that the metallic object came within a few feet of the unidentified jet at 34,000 feet, Huffington Post says. The pilot was expecting a collision but had no time to react as the object came toward him, the report says.

The pilot, who was not identified, told investigators that the object passed “within a few feet” above the jet about 20 miles from the airport.

 The incident took place in July but it recently began getting media attention after the investigators' report was released. They were unable to come up with an explanation.

Former defense minister says Aliens live among us

Canada’s former defense minister says space aliens live among us, but hate our nukes

Alien species have been visiting earth for thousands of years, says Canada’s former defense minister, and they’re worried that humans are going to wreck the planet.

“Something dreadful is going to happen to it if we don’t smarten up and change our ways,” said Paul Hellyer, who served as defense minister in the 1960s.

Voyager 1 Left Solar System

APE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - NASA's long-lived Voyager probe crossed into interstellar space last year, becoming the first man-made object to leave the solar system, new research shows.

Scientists have been waiting for Voyager to detect a magnetic field that flows in a different direction than the solar system's magnetic field. But the new research shows that scenario is not accurate.

"We think that the magnetic field within the solar system and in the interstellar are aligned enough that you can actually pass through without seeing a huge change in direction," University of Maryland physicist Marc Swisdak said in an interview with Reuters on Thursday.

That would mean that Voyager actually reached interstellar space last summer when it detected a sudden drop in the number of particles coming from the sun and a corresponding rise in the number of galactic cosmic rays coming from interstellar space.

Not everyone is convinced, however.

Voyager lead scientist Edward Stone, now retired from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said Swisdak's research is interesting but different computer models are portraying different scenarios to explain the Voyager data.

"We know where Voyager is in terms of distance and we know what it is observing. The challenge is relating that to these complex models of the interaction between the interstellar medium and the heliosphere," Stone said, referring to the bubble of space that falls under the sun's influence.

Stone and other scientists believe Voyager is in a previously unknown region, dubbed a "magnetic highway," that exists between the heliosphere and interstellar space.

Voyager 1 and a sister probe, Voyager 2, were launched in 1977 to study the outer planets. Voyager 1 is now about 120 times farther away from the sun than Earth. Voyager 2 is heading out of the solar system in a different direction.

The probes are powered by the slow decay of radioactive plutonium. Voyager 1 will begin running out of energy for its science instruments in 2020. By 2025, it will be completely out of power.

If Swisdak and colleagues are correct, Voyager 1's magnetic field readings will stay pretty much the same throughout the remainder of its mission.

"If they see a strong shift in the magnetic field, a big jump, then that means that what we've outlined can't be correct," Swisdak said.

"I'm perfectly willing to be proven wrong here and if I were, that would be kind of cool. But it agrees with all the data that we have so far," he added.

More evidence may come when Voyager 2 crosses the solar system's boundary as well.

The research appears in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

ISS News International Space Station to receive new visitors

NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg, Russian Soyuz commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano show they are ready for their launch to the International Space Station tonight.

As part of the Expedition 36/37 crew, they will spend five months on the Station. Luca’s Volare mission is Europe’s fifth long-duration flight to the orbital outpost, and the first for ESA astronaut’s new generation of astronauts selected in 2009. The mission is provided through an agreement with Italy’s ASI space agency.

This image was taken at the Baikonur launch site in Kazakhstan after the last press conference held before the astronauts head to into space for six months on a Soyuz spacecraft at 20:31 GMT (22:31 CEST) tonight.

Reflected in the glass are the journalists and photographers. The astronauts are behind glass to protect them from unnecessary contact with possibly infected people. All travellers on a Soyuz spacecraft spend a week in quarantine to make sure they are fit and in good health for their mission.

Our immune systems are impaired in space and unwanted bacteria and viruses in the closed artificial atmosphere of the Station could quickly multiply and infect astronauts. The quarantine before flight is one of the last hurdles in a preparation lasting years.

Watch the launch

Live transmission of the launch from Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan will start at 19:30 GMT (21:30 CEST) with liftoff at 20:31 (22:30 CEST). ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli will provide running commentary.

Luca’s Soyuz will be taking the fast route to the International Space Station, arriving only six hours after liftoff. Live coverage of the docking will start at 02:00 GMT (04:00 CEST) on 29 May showing images from cameras on the spacecraft and the Station as well as from mission control in Russia.

Insomniacs or early birds can tune in at 03:35 GMT (05:35 CEST) to watch the hatch opening and the Station crew, Pavel Vinogradov, Alexander Misurkin and Chris Cassidy, welcome the new arrivals.

      

The Earth has Two Moons?

Earth has two moons, a group of scientists argues. One is that waxing and waning nightlight we all know and love. The other is a tiny asteroid, no bigger than a Smart Car, making huge doughnuts around Earth for a while before it zips off into the distance.

That's the scenario posited by the scientists in a paper published Dec. 20 in the planetary science journal Icarus. The researchers say there is a space rock at least 1 meter (3.3 feet) wide orbiting Earth at any given time. They're not always the same rock, but rather an ever-changing cast of "temporary moons."
