January 26, 2007 Chicago, Illinois – At the beginning of January 2007, Peter Davenport, Director of the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) received a report about a disc-shaped aerial object seen on November 7, 2006, by several eyewitnesses at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and broke the story. Then columnist Jon Hilkevitch at the Chicago Tribune followed up with a story about a dozen or so United Airlines mechanics, pilots, baggage people and a manager who watched a silvery-grey disc hover in the sky over Chicago O’Hare’s Concourse C-17 for several minutes.

"It would not surprise me if it caused the destruction of at least one working satellite and maybe a couple. I would be surprised if it was bad enough to cause the destruction of many satellites."

“There are some genes we know a lot about, but there are many genes
we have no idea what they do. So, that’s the baffling part to me –
there is still so much work to be done just to figure out how it all works.”

January 18, 2007 Houston, Texas – The human body has about 100 trillion cells. Inside each of those cells is the nucleus that contains the genome—46 human chromosomes which have the blueprint for building a human body.Click for report.
"Two distinct groups of triangular-shaped objects seemed to come out of the main disc. Each group had about five objects. They came down the beam and then turned out of the beam."

Evidence, in saucer lore, assumes many forms. If not a three-dimensional filament of angel hair or a controversial "hot rock," it can be a photograph or a movie showing a shape in the sky, a blip on radarscope, or a voice or sound on a tape recorder. When "contact" stories became popular in 1952, the tapes were quick to follow. I've heard several, each purporting to be evidence. One, sounding like a musical arrangement of Morse Code and believed to be signals from a space species, was in my opinion, wishful thinking. Most others, preachments and warnings by space people, are just pure bunk.

"It’s a little confusing this time around, actually. We haven’t had this problem before ...but indicators (of big solar maximums) that have agreed and worked in the past don’t agree this time."

January 13, 2007 Huntsville, Alabama - If you could fly near the surface of the sun, there would be a lot of humming and sonic booms. At Stanford University and the University of California-Berkeley, physicists have processed radio signals from the sun and produced audio files. The sun vibrates with a hum that goes up and down every five minutes. Stanford scientists call it "the singing sun."

in the universe for structures to collapse and galaxies to form. ...Normal matter - including stars, galaxies and gas - is built inside an underlying
scaffolding of dark matter."

January 6, 2007 Pasadena, California - NASA's JPL reports that scientists now have "definitive evidence of the presence of lakes filled with liquid methane" on Saturn's moon Titan. The radar data was published in this week's journal Nature cover story. Radar imaging data from a July 22, 2006, fly-over by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft provided convincing evidence for large bodies of liquid methane. on Titan today.

January 5, 2007 Albuquerque, New Mexico – Recently in my Earthfiles mail, I received a 4-page, typed and well-written letter from a successful attorney living and working on the West Coast. For more than three decades, this man – whom I will call John Smith to honor his request for anonymity – has kept secret his interactions with a non-human intelligence.
First he trusted them, but now worries that the agenda of the particular type he has encountered is to manipulate and suppress humans. Attorney Smith’s abduction experiences have included being taken right through a wall, examinations by non-humans of his head and genitals and visions of an apocalyptic Earth future. Guiding Attorney Smith through his experiences was a telepathic voice that entered his life with winning raffle tickets and other inside information that convinced John Smith he was being given special protection by extraterrestrial, or other-dimensional, intelligences. Attorney Smith is now 57-years-old and says his first memories of high strangeness go back to odd, repeating dreams he began having around age 25.Click for report.
