What scientists are saying about UFO whistleblower claims

Interesting. Frustrating. Potentially even "credible."But nothing that science can work on in its current form.That was how physicists and astronomers interviewed by The Hill described recent allegations that the U.S. government has been hiding evidence of multiple alien crash sites.To take those claims beyond buzzy conjecture, the country needs a plan to acquire more hard data, scientists said.On Wednesday the House Oversight Committee will hold controversial hearings about "unidentified aerial phenomena," or UAP.Those hearings will focus on eyewitness accounts by U.S. military pilots of what have appeared to be strange craft moving in ways that known human technology cannot, and on the broader claims of a cover-up made by former Air Force and intelligence official David Grusch.Steven Greer, ufologist and founded of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Disclosure Project, delivers remarks on his UFO and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) rese...Woman Fatally Struck in Pedestrian Collision on Marysville Boulevard [Sacramento, CA]

By Olga R. Rodriguez | Associated PressSAN FRANCISCO — The Pulitzer Prize-winning Santa Barbara News-Press, one of California’s oldest newspapers, has ceased publishing after its owner declared the 150-year-old publication bankrupt.The newspaper became an online-only publication in April. But its last digital edition was posted Friday when owner Wendy McCaw filed for bankruptcy.Managing editor Dave Mason broke the news to staff in an email Friday, according to NoozHawk, a digital publication whose executive editor, Tom Bolton, used to lead the News-Press.“They ran out of money to pay us. They will issue final paychecks when the bankruptcy is approved in court,” Mason wrote to staff.On Monday, the News-Press’ website was still online, with the most recent stories published Friday. There was no mention that it would cease publishing or that it has declared bankruptcy.A voicemail message left Monday by The Associated Press in the newsroom’s phone number wa...Letters: Bridge emergencies | Native landscapes | Population and climate | Political money | Vote Biden

By Alta Spells and Steve Almasy | CNNCarlee Russell, the Alabama woman who earlier this month went missing for 49 hours after making a 911 call about a child on an interstate, said she was not kidnapped and did not see a baby on the side of the road, according to a statement from her attorney.The statement from attorney Emory Anthony – read by Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis during a news conference Monday afternoon – said the 26-year-old woman never left the Hoover area and acted alone.“My client apologizes for her actions to this community,” Anthony said in the statement.The statement didn’t indicate where Russell was while a large search for her took place.“We still don’t know where she was,” Derzis told reporters Monday, adding, “Only Carlee knows, and maybe now her attorney.”On July 13, Russell was driving to her home in Hoover from her job in Birmingham, about 10 miles to the north, when she called 911 to say she was stopping her car to check on a child.She then called a famil...What do Tom Brady, Kanye West and Bradley Cooper have in common? Irina Shayk

it’s hard to imagine that Tom Brady, Kanye West and Bradley Cooper have much in common, other than that each is a rich and famous man who has enjoyed success at the top of his respective profession.But it turns out that all three men share an affinity for a supermodel: Irina Shayk. In fact, the 37-year-old Russian beauty could stand at the center of a Venn diagram made up of circles that represent each of the three men’s lives.Cooper, the Academy Award-nominated actor and director, was in a serious enough relationship with Shayk for five years that they had a daughter together. West, the troubled rapper and fashion designer with avowed white supremacist sympathies, briefly hooked up with the supermodel in the summer of 2021, according to reports, shortly after his high-profile split from ex-wife Kim Kardashian.Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen attends the 2019 Hollywood For Science Gala at Private Residence on February 21, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.

We spend enough money to bury every hungry child under a mountain of caviar without any effect on poverty.Politicians have no interest in correcting the government leaky bucket syndrome.San Francisco is full of homeless people camping on streets alongside empty hotel rooms.

Still, I can’t leave the house without a little bit of mascara, or concealer, maybe a touch of blush.When picking my shade at beauty stores, I’ll spend a good 15 minutes analyzing which concealer or foundation shade correctly matches my olive skin out of the 20 nude shades, not even considering the five darker shades that I’ll never have to use.However, the person with the darker skin tone will spend at most five minutes before they realize that there is no shade for them. Sometimes the shades they do match with don’t match the consistency they’re looking for, but it’s their only option.The beauty industry still fails to recognize that their consumers don’...Latest news
