We had only bones and simple tools to show that man lived in the Ice Age — until the discovery of a remarkable set of fossilised footprints. Report by Katharine Hibbert

A hunter sprints along the swampy shore of the Willandra Lakes, New South Wales, Australia. Tall and powerfully built, he quickly accelerates to 12mph, his heels slipping slightly in the mud, silty soil squishing between his toes as he pursues his prey. To the east, four men run together, the tallest shortening his stride to a jog to allow his companions to keep pace. A child drags its feet, forcing the adult he is with to slow down, and an adolescent wanders away from the path. The year is 20,000BC, the height of the last Ice Age. They were small steps for man, but a huge leap for the history of mankind: by a quirk of geology, the footprints these eight hunter-gatherers left have been preserved perfectly, fossilised as the clay soil dried and was buried under layers of sediment.

In 2003, another group was walking along the same ground, Aborigines on an archeology course led by Steve Webb, of Bond University, Queensland. They weren’t supposed to be there – a colleague had taken them to the dull-looking clay pan by mistake – but Webb thought it would still make good fieldwork practice for his students. More than 150 Ice Age human burials had been unearthed in the area, as well as the bones of now-extinct animals. However, after years of watching scientists take artefacts and remains away to museums and universities elsewhere, the elders of local tribes had placed a moratorium on excavations. Webb and his colleagues had only recently won back their trust. “Is this a footprint?” asked Mary Pappin Jr, a 26-year-old member of the local Mutthi Mutthi tribe. “Christ, it is,” replied Webb. They quickly spotted two or three more prints, which had been exposed as the wind eroded the dunes. Painstaking excavation has since revealed 450 more, as well as what appear to be spear holes in the ground and the tracks of kangaroos and emus. This is perhaps only an eighth of the total, the rest still covered by dunes, but it is already the largest collection of Ice Age footprints discovered anywhere in the world, laden with information about the group’s physiology, hunting tactics and social behaviour. “It’s really quite a remarkable find,” said Matthew Cupper, an archeologist at the University of Melbourne who has been studying the prints. “It’s a little snapshot in time. The possibilities are endless
in terms of getting a window into past Aboriginal society.”

While visiting Argentina for the 2005 Primera Conferencia Iberoamericana Sobre Pensamiento Critico ("First Latin American Conference on Critical Thinking") in Buenos Aires, I was also able to take a look at some local mysteries with which I already had some familiarity. These included a haunted cemetery, miracles of popular saints, and tales of animal mutilation by the dreaded chupacabras. Here is a brief look at each in turn.
Haunted Cemetery

It is a memorable sight: "a city within a city," as one writer describes it (Winter 2001). Actually, it is a city of the dead, a necropolis consisting of narrow alleys lined with ornate crypts and mausoleums. Given its roster of burials of the rich and powerful, it is said that "For the living and dead alike, Recoleta is Buenos Aires's most prestigious address" and "one of the world's grandest graveyards" (Bernhardson 2004, 72).

I visited the memorable Cementerio de la Recoleta on September 14, in part to view the crypt of Eva Peron. (The late actress-turned-controversial-first-lady is discussed in the next section of this article.) An Internet search had turned up a cautionary remark: "Everybody will tell you the stories about this interesting place, but don't believe all of them; ghosts don't walk there at night" (Fodors 2004). Sure enough, two days after my visit, a local guide told me just such a tale about the cemetery.

The existence of Bigfoot has remained a mystery for years. In Southeast Idaho alone, reports of encounters with the creature date back to 1887. Tammy Scardino caught up with a local county commissioner who offered his support in hosting an upcoming Bigfoot event.

The Bigfoot Rendezvous is expected to attract people to Pocatello from across the nation - believers and non-believers alike.

County Commissioner Jim Guthrie showed up in costume to read the proclamation supporting the Bigfoot Rendezvous. He views the event as an entertaining way for people to explore the topic.

In the early 1960's we lived in Kansas. We were small children then had a house on the North End of Great Bend, on the North end of Morton Street.

One night in 1964 or 65, I looked out of the kitchen window and saw a 'white cube' that glowed like a light bulb. It had a red light glowing on the inside of it. There are or were quite a few radio towers in the area and one huge TV 2 tower farther to the North. The 'cube shaped thing' flew around that radio tower like a moth flies around a light bulb, only slower than a moth and it never hit the tower. Also, the red light was fading on an off like the tower light. Now, I believe the object was trying to communicate with the tower.

When I first saw the object I was transfixed like a deer in headlights!

I ran to get my dad but like most dads, he said not to bother him, so I ran back to the kitchen yelling for my two brothers to come. When I got back to the window it was still flying near the tower. Just before my brothers got to the window it traveled across the field towards me. It started hovering around 75 feet above the ground and was approximately 200 yards away. That's when my two brothers joined me at the window and started asking, "What is that, what is that?"

One of the strangest buildings in the world will be the site of a retro UFO convention this weekend, a throwback to gatherings that once attracted 10,000 or more devotees to the desert.

The building is known as the Integratron, and UFO's or not, it's unquestionably strange. The Eyewitness News I-Team's George Knapp just had to see the place.

The weird humming coming from the spacey-looking building sounds like a UFO warming up its engine for a quick jaunt to reticulum. It wouldn't be out of place. For the past half century, the high desert area around Landers California has been a Mecca for E.T. believers and enlightenment seekers.

In the early '50s, an aircraft mechanic named George Van Tassel says he received telepathic messages from space aliens that told him how to build the Integratron, part-healing chamber, part time machine.

STANDING in the darkness on Long Reef peninsula, seeing anything - let alone alien aircraft - is proving difficult. That is the challenge for members of the UFO Society of Western Sydney, who are on one of their regular UFO expeditions.

The northern beaches is a "hot spot" for unidentified flying objects, according to the Campbelltown-based group, which says it has received hundreds of "genuine UFO sightings" since its inception in 2000.

However, the only sightings this evening are aircraft, which - with a long stretch of the imagination - look vaguely like spaceships as their lights emerge from the clouds. Another "sighting" occurs when a glowing orange light whizzes past the group. "Did you see that?" asks Attila Kaldy, president of the group. But this is no flying saucer, just a flying cigarette ember.

"Most people would think we're crazy coming out here," Mr Kaldy says, as the wind howls and the second downpour of the evening hits.

I have just received this message from a commenter.

Hi everyone,

I have done more than "seen any strange objects." I have been there. This is my story.

My name is Isabelle, and I am a survivor of an alien encounter. Three weeks ago, I was outside swimming late at night when I noticed a bright flash deep in the woods behind my house. I ignored it, and continued swimming. That changed my life.

Suddenly everything went black. I don't know how long I was unconscious, but when I came to, I was lying face-down in a dark room. I was surrounded by other people of all different backgrounds and ages. As the other people started to wake up, a bright light suddenly came on, blinding us momentarily. A human-sized alien, with large black eyes grey skin appeared from a balcony in the front of the room, and spoke to us telepathically, kind of like in the Animorphs. It was crazy, and I kept pinching myself to see if I was awake, but its true. The alien identified himself as a "Grey" and asked us to create an alliance with them. Somehow, they can time travel, and they found out that the "Draconians" are planning to return to "Terra" to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs. They seemed so genuine, that we agreed to help them. After a few moments of celebration, the leader came forward and called for silence. He told us, in an almost threatening manner, that under no circumstances could we come into contact with the Draconians, or the alliance would be off. Apparently they can brainwash humans into fighting for their cause of Universal Domination. The urgency in the alien's mind-voice was enough to convince us. Suddenly everything went black again.

I woke up in my own bed, still in my bikini, to the sound of pounding at my front door. After quickly throwing on a bathrobe, I opened the door and found myself faced with three intimidating men in suits. They identified themselves as government employees investigating a disturbance in the woods the night before. Scared and insecure, I invited them in. They interrogated me about any contact with aliens I might have had, and where I had been last night. I was so scared, so I denied it all. I said I hadn't seen or talked to anything. I was so scared, I was shaking so hard, and I told them that I had been with my friend Jeff all night. I knew Jeff was planning on leaving that morning on a trip to Australia, so I'd hoped I could tell him before the government got to him. Knowing the government was after me, and knowing what they wanted to do to me, terrified me. They've left me alone since then, but I'm still worried, and if something happens to me, I wanted my story to be out there. Others need to know the truth.

Ryan Parry In Centralia, Pennsylvania

SMOKE billows from vents in the ground and toxic gas seeps into every corner, leaving a horrible stench.

From behind a weathered gravestone hobbles the hunched figure of 90-year-old Lamar Mervine.

Pausing to smell the air as it chokes the back of my throat, he looks around the pot-holed graveyard and across the ruins of the town. He issues a hoarse chuckle and says in a rasping voice: "Centralia is the only place where you get buried and then cremated at the same time."

It looks like the set of a horror movie - and the town in Pennsylvania was the eerie inspiration for the new supernatural movie chiller Silent Hill.

The film stars Sean Bean as a dad searching for his wife Radha Mitchell and their missing child in an accursed, deserted town. But the 10 remaining residents of Centralia must live with real horror every day.

Once 1,100 people called this place home, drawn to the town for its thriving coalmining industry. But one day in 1964 an accident deep beneath the town sparked a fire that quickly spread through the mine's underground tunnels.

To the United States, he is a seriously dangerous man who put the nation's security at risk by committing "the biggest military computer hack of all time."

But Briton Gary McKinnon says he is just an ordinary computer nerd who wanted to find out whether aliens and UFOs exist.

During his two-year quest, McKinnon broke into computers at the
Pentagon,
NASA and the Johnson Space Center as well as systems used by the U.S. army, navy and air force.

U.S. officials say he caused $700,000 worth of damage and even crippled vital defense systems shortly after the September 11 attacks.

LARION -- In a small rural area such as Clarion County not much happens out of the ordinary. Or does it? There are people who swear there is more going on than meets the eye, and they’re not talking about what happens after people leave the local watering holes.

Maybe it’s something seen out of the corner of your eye, maybe you hear footsteps in the dark when you are the only one in the house, and maybe personal items are mysteriously disappearing and reappearing.

Or just maybe you live in a house with a tragic history with tales of “strange happenings” passed down through the generations, re-told on cold, stormy nights.

Is there something more than meets the eye going on in Clarion County ?

These tales of the paranormal are exactly what a local ghost hunting organization is seeking.

For the first time in history, the mysterious Puerto-Rican Chupacabra vampire has been spotted in Russia.

Reports of a beast that kills animals and sucks on their blood came from a village in Central Russia back in March 2005, when a farm had 32 turkeys killed overnight. The beast left the corpses bloodless, the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily said.

Then reports came from neighboring villages, where more than 30 sheep and goats fell victim to the vampire. Again, the blood had been drained from corpses but the flesh remained intact. All the slaughtered animals had similar puncture wounds on their necks, different from the marks that wolves, dogs or lynx leave on their victims.

LANDERS, Calif. — "E.T." has been back home for years, and now earthlings claiming contact with space aliens are planning a homecoming of their own Saturday in a section of the Mojave Desert that looks a lot like the moon.

Nearly three decades after a free-thinking Californian named George Van Tassel hosted his final gathering to honor alien visitors, pioneers of the UFO culture are coming back to the site of the nation's earliest extraterrestrial rallies.

They will be coming to see the Integratron, a dome-shaped building said to have been commissioned in 1953 by creatures from outer space; to view the Giant Rock, site of the early rallies; to hear tales by those who say they've had experiences with extraterrestrials; to see demonstrations of "new technologies" by UFO experts; and to enjoy a UFO-themed opera and art exhibits.

Author tells of culture and history ‘Along the River Road’

By Michael Tortorich The Ascension Citizen

Mary Ann Sternberg admits that she’s not the reason people flock to hear her speak, but the subject.

Several people visited the Gonzales library Thursday night to learn more about the subject so many hold dear - the meandering 100 miles or so between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, simply known as the River Road. The culture in the river region has been derived from the influences and settlement of Native Americans, French, Spanish, Germans, Creoles, Cajuns, Africans, Anglo-Americans, Italians and others.

“It’s a subject everybody loves,” the author and freelance writer said.

Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills home is haunted. Previous residents of the rented house on Alpine Lane that he is sharing with fiancée, and new mum, Katie Holmes, say they have experienced spooky sensations there. Among them are Hollywood producer Jon Peters and his teenage daughter, Caleigh.

According to New York Post newspaper, Caleigh has already told friends that while staying in the property she "heard noises" and said the house was "creepy", "haunted" and "full of ghosts".

Reading Evening Post

Reported sightings of a ‘UFO’ above Reading have led to a flurry of calls to the Post’s paranormal hotline.

Reader Vicky Chapman, 17, called the newsroom after she and two friends noticed a glowing red ball in the sky as they walked through Whitley on Good Friday.

An incredulous Miss Chapman, who works in hair and beauty in Spencers Wood, said: “We thought we were going a bit mad.

Do you know of a haunted house or a strange location that people would cross over to the other side of the street to avoid after dark? Somewhere most wouldn't go to in a group, even in the daytime? Would you go alone and what about at midnight? There is one man that would - Tony Hart-Wilden, paranormal investigator and founder of Chasingmidnight.com - one of the Web's leading sites devoted to the mysterious and unexplained.

Why alone? "I'm doing this primarily as a charity challenge, which if I fail I will donate $1000 of my own money to the charity that nominated the location. Also, history tells us that the most significant encounters with the paranormal have not been to groups. There are many instances of individuals witnessing ghosts but few mass encounters; so I'm also doing it to test the theory that if ghosts really can interact with the living, the less people there are present, the more likely they are to appear."

Landlord's terror at phantom menace

By Emma Dunlop

A TERRIFIED landlord is calling in a priest to exorcise his Yorkshire pub after he confronted a ghostly apparition causing mayhem to his premises.
Roger Froggatt, of the Low Valley Arms, was left severely shocked after seeing the ghostly figure of a woman dressed all in white when he went to what he thought was a break-in at his Barnsley pub around at 1.30am yesterday.
But it was when he went to check the toilets that he got the shock of his life.
In front of him stood the grotesquely disfigured apparition of an elderly woman dressed all in ghostly white.
When she turned to look at him he saw half her face was missing, from her cheekbone down to her jaw.
He and his wife Kathryn were so terrified they called the police who also witnessed spooky goings-on.

Recently I have been reading where some believe that UFO sightings are on the decrease, due to the lack of interest and a lack of reported sightings in their areas, in Canada, the United States or worldwide. Personally I found this to be untrue in my case, mainly due to the large amount of reported sightings that I receive here at HBCC UFO Research. As a matter of fact, there is so much material coming in, that HBCC UFO Research has now gone International. The idea behind this is to have UFO investigators scattered all over the world willing to take on and investigate the cases that are sent in.

NASA studied the Ghengis prototype in 1992. Many planetary explorers are modeled on insects and birds.

Jupiter and its four planet-size moons, called the Galilean satellites, were photographed in early March by Voyager 1 and assembled into this collage. They are not to scale but are in their relative positions. Startling new discoveries on the Galilean moons and the planet Jupiter made by Voyager 1 have been factored into a new mission design for Voyager 2. Voyager 2 will fly past Jupiter on July 9.

Known as Seyfert's Sextet, this intriguing group of galaxies lies in the head portion of the split constellation Serpens. The sextet actually contains only four interacting galaxies, though. Near the center of this Hubble Space Telescope picture, the small face-on spiral galaxy lies in the distant background and appears only by chance aligned with the main group. Also, the prominent condensation on the far right is likely not a separate galaxy at all, but a tidal tail of stars flung out by the galaxies' gravitational interactions. About 190 million light-years away, the interacting galaxies are tightly packed into a region around 100,000 light-years across, comparable to the size of our own Milky Way galaxy, making this one of the densest known galaxy groups. Bound by gravity, the close-knit group may coalesce into a single large galaxy over the next few billion years.

On January 16, NASA's space shuttle Columbia roared into blue morning skies above Kennedy Space Center on STS-107, the first shuttle mission of 2003. But this is not a picture of that launch! It was taken on the morning of January 16 though, at sunrise, looking eastward toward Lake Ontario from just outside of Caledon, Ontario, Canada. In the picture a sun pillar, sunlight reflecting from ice crystals gently falling through the cold air, seems to shoot above the fiery Sun still low on the horizon. By chance, fog and clouds forming over the relatively warm lake look like billowing smoke from a rocket's exhaust plume and complete the launch illusion. Amateur photographer Lauri Kangas stopped on his way to work to record the eye-catching sun pillar launch.

Many stars like our Sun were formed in open clusters. The above pictured open cluster, M11, contains thousands of stars and is just over five thousand light years distant. The stars in this cluster all formed together about 250 million years ago. The bright young stars in M11 appear blue. Open clusters, also called galactic clusters, contain fewer and younger stars than globular clusters. Also unlike globular clusters, open clusters are generally confined to the plane of our Galaxy. M11 is visible with binoculars towards the constellation of Scutum.

In the vast Orion Molecular Cloud complex, several bright blue nebulas are particularly apparent. Pictured above are two of the most prominent reflection nebulas - dust clouds lit by the reflecting light of bright embedded stars. The more famous nebula is M78, on the upper right, cataloged over 200 years ago. On the lower left is the lesser known NGC 2071. Astronomers continue to study these reflection nebulas to better understand how interior stars form. The Orion complex lies about 1500 light-years distant, contains the Orion and Horsehead nebulas, and covers much of the constellation of Orion.

How tall are mountains on Jupiter's moon Io? One way to find out is to view them at sunset. Tall structures facing the Sun are then better-lit and cast long shadows. The above image highlights Mongibello Mons on the far left, a sharp ridge rising so high it would rank among the highest mountains on Earth. The violently changing surface of Io shows not only classic volcano cinder cones but also many thrust faults where the ground has fractured and created dramatic shear cliffs. The grayscale image was taken two years ago by the robot spacecraft Galileo currently orbiting Jupiter.

This 1963 photograph shows vent flowing cryogenic fuel and T/C Rake mounted on a 1/10 scale model Centaur rocket in the Supersonic Wind Tunnel at the Glen Rsearch Center. The fuel being tested is liquid hydrogen. Such tests were conducted to determine how far to expel venting fuel from the rocket body to prevent explosion at the base of the vehicle. The vent is used as a safety valve for the fumes created when loading the fuel tanks during launch preparation. Liquid hydrogen has to be kept at a very low temperature. As it heats it turns to gas and increases pressure in the tank, and, therefore, has to be vented overboard while the rocket sits on the pad.

At least three different kinds of rocks await scientific analysis at the place where NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit will likely spend several months of Martian winter.

These speakers just came in yesterday. I've had a chance to test them out a little. They sound great!

Picked them up shipped for less than one third of their retail. They also come with a sub that is shaped something like a trash can and a space ship. If you need something strange looking, to spice up your computer. I would say give these a shot.

The 21st Progress to visit the station launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 12:03 p.m. EDT Monday. The new cargo craft is scheduled to dock with the space station at 1:40 p.m. Wednesday. Expedition 13 Commander Pavel Vinogradov and Flight Engineer and NASA Science Officer Jeff Williams are readying the International Space Station for the arrival of two and a half tons of food, supplies and equipment. NASA TV will provide live coverage of the docking beginning at 1 p.m. Wednesday.

One billion miles per gallon -- that's how far a car could travel if it were powered by a typical black hole. Scientists with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory recently arrived at this estimate after determining black holes are the most fuel-efficient "engines" in the universe, a discovery that highlights a black hole's economical performance and its benefits.

"Just as with cars, it's critical to know the fuel efficiency of black holes," said Stanford University's Steve Allen, lead author of the study. "Without this information, we cannot figure out what is going on under the hood, so to speak, or what the engine can do."

On April 23, 1966, the morning silence was broken by an earth-rattling roar that swept southern Mississippi and Louisiana into the Space Age.

That roar was the sound of the first rocket engine static test-firing at what is now NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center. The S-II-T tested April 23, 1966, was a cluster of five J-2 engines, the second stage of the Saturn V moon rocket.

Mystic, Connecticut,

Specialists in paranormal research are investigating whether a historic whaling ship might be home to the ghost of a long-ago seafarer.

The researchers on Friday night spent some time on the Charles W. Morgan where several visitors have reported seeing the apparition. The 165-year-old craft made 37 ocean voyages in search of whales in 60 years. Some people said that while touring the ship last summer, they saw a man in what appeared to be 19th-century clothing working below the deck. The man, with a pipe in his mouth, nodded at them but did not speak.

When they asked an official about him, they were told that no one was assigned to be on the boat that day. There were about 40 other reports of possible paranormal activities.

According to ‘‘The X-Files,'' the truth is out there.

And on Saturday, it'll be in Landers.

The High Desert will become the landing site for the Retro UFO Spacecraft Convention, an old-school homage to the starry gatherings that used to draw people to the desert decades ago.

‘‘We're going back to the history,'' said Barbara Harris of Yucca Valley, one of the event's co-creators. ‘‘We don't want to make it scary - we want it to be fun.''

Many trekked to UFO conventions in the '50s, '60s, and '70s, Harris said. People used to gather from all over the country for a chance to hear people called ‘‘contactees'' talk about their personal experiences with beings from another world - and expound about what it all meant.

Life can serve up a good mystery every once in a while. Weird things happen that defy explanation, that make us wonder how much we really know about the world.

Something of the sort happened in San Diego County shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 4, and so far no one has come forward with an explanation.

Whatever it was, it caused a woman's bed to shake in Lakeside. It created waves in a backyard pool in Carmel Valley. It set off car alarms in Kearny Mesa and rattled windows from Mission Beach to Poway to Vista. At various spots throughout the county, people reported a rumbling sound or a booming noise.

Audience in Hackettstown hears stories of spirits that remain where lives ended

BY ANDREW NYNKA
DAILY RECORD

HACKETTSTOWN --Describing the "true and shocking tale of a soul-eating house," Rosemary Ellen Guiley, a self-described paranormal researcher and investigator, told the story of a haunted house at a ghost conference here on Saturday.

"Everything we're going to learn about today is real," she told some 75 people at the third annual New Jersey Ghost Hunters Society conference at the Hackettstown Community Center.

"It's a soul-eating house because, if you die in the home, you don't leave," Guiley said.

Guiley described the stories of several people who died in the home and whose ghosts still occupy the building. Among them is a farmer who committed suicide in 1795 and "is probably buried on the property," she said.

MYSTIC, Conn. - Specialists in paranormal research are investigating whether a historic whaling ship might be home to the ghost of a long-ago seafarer.

A five-member team from the Rhode Island Paranormal Research group visited Mystic Seaport on Friday night to spend time on the Charles W. Morgan, a wooden whaling ship where several visitors have reported seeing the apparition.

The 165-year-old craft made 37 ocean voyages in search of whales during the 60 years it was in use. About 1,000 men worked on the Morgan over those decades.

The ship, due for a $3.5 million restoration next year, one of the main attractions at the Mystic Seaport maritime museum.

The Rhode Island Paranormal Research Group became interested in the Morgan after receiving reports from three different groups of people about the apparition.

The visitors said that while touring the ship last summer, they saw a man in what appeared to be 19th-century clothing working below deck. They said the man, who had a pipe in his mouth, nodded at them but did not speak.

There are many reports all around the world of UFO crashes. The evidences are real and many alleges Governments have used cover up techniques to hide the truth. There are many kinds of UFOs. Some are advanced of Type III and IV civilizations. Some are time travelers from our future and some are of Type I or II from our own galaxies.

Advanced UFOs from Type III and IV types of civilizations do not crash. They use spatial and projection techniques of travel. They use bending of space and time to shorten the travel time and space but actually never send the physical UFO thorough the worm holes. They are very advanced. They are capable of projecting spatial structures of the UFOs and remote control them. If these are caught physically, crash or something similar happens, they operators from the outside or other side of the universe shuts the projection system off and as a result, nothing material can ever be recorded, proved or caught in terms of physical evidences.

ROSWELL, N.M. - The spring sun neared the western horizon, casting an eerie glow on the desert.
Having just visited the International UFO Museum and Research Center, my imagination soared when I took a wrong turn and found myself lost in the middle of what was once Walker Air Force Base, where conspiracy buffs swear the U.S. Air Force hid alien bodies and wreckage of a flying saucer from a 1947 crash.
A rancher named W.W. Mack Brazel, as the story goes, went to check his sheep after a thunderstorm and found debris made of a strange metal scattered in many directions. He noticed a shallow trench cut into the desert floor. There had been 16 reported unidentified flying object sightings reported that year in the couple of months preceding what would be known as the Roswell Incident. Adding to the mystery: The Air Force ordered sealed coffins from a Roswell undertaker, fueling speculation that aliens had been recovered.

When SWS Group’s 45-megawatt (MW) windfarm project in Kilgarvan, Co Kerry, is fully commissioned in the next few weeks, it will have the capacity to light up 30,000 homes in the county.

The Kilgarvan project will be the group’s largest windfarm electricity plant to date, but it will be overtaken in size once SWS’ planned 87MW windfarm in Knockacummer, north Cork, is up and running in the next couple of years.

By the time SWS has spent a further €260 million on wind energy, the west Cork group will have capacity to light up 130,000 homes.

SWS is just one of a growing number of companies to commit itself to developing windfarm as an alternative energy source.

AN inflatable hotel that will orbit the Earth is being built by a millionaire hoping to kickstart interest in space tourism.

Robert Bigelow, an American hotelier who says he wants to open up space to the general public, is ploughing more than £280m into the project.

The blow-up structure will be launched on rockets and self-inflate to its full size once it is circling the globe.

Its 1ft-thick skin, made from a toughened combination of multi-layered polymer and Kevlar, will allow it to expand while keeping the astronauts protected from space meteorites.

The non-profit foundation that created a prize to inspire the world's first private spaceship believes that this same spirit of ingenuity can be applied to the automobile industry.

Mark Goodstein, executive director of the X PRIZE Foundation's automotive prize, will address attendees at the 2006 SAE World Congress as he opens the FEV Powertrain Innovation Forum, Monday, April 3 at 10:00 a.m.

Goodstein's organization believes the technology exists to mass produce hyper-efficient vehicles, but the industry has been slow-moving and many obstacles must be overcome. This makes the automotive industry ripe for a very challenging prize, like the X PRIZE, that rewards private-sector innovation.

Two SR-71 aircraft were used by NASA as testbeds for high-speed, high-altitude aeronautical research. The aircraft, an SR-71A and an SR-71B pilot trainer aircraft were based at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif. They have been loaned to NASA by the U.S. Air Force. Developed for the USAF as reconnaissance aircraft more than 30 years ago, SR-71s are still the world's fastest and highest-flying production aircraft.

The Archbishop’s Curia has confirmed that human blood was oozing from the eyes of the statue of the Virgin Mary in a private residence in the last few weeks.

A spokesman for the Curia said in a statement that the first report was examined by the Church Authorities and it transpired that the red liquid was human blood.

The same phenomenon was reported a few weeks later and this second incident is still being investigated, the spokesman said.

Local newspaper In-Nazzjon on Friday revealed that the statue is in a private residence in Birzebbugia.

The owner of the statue of the Immaculate Conception reported the weeping of the red liquid to the parish priest on Monday. The latter advised the owner to report to the Curia.

The CALIPSO and CloudSat satellites are set to launch at 6:02 a.m. EDT on missions to study clouds and aerosols, tiny particles in the air.

Friday's launch attempt from Space Complex 2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., was scrubbed at T-48 seconds due to loss of the primary and backup phone communications between the Mission Director Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base and the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) Space Command in Toulouse, France. It was initially rescheduled for Saturday morning, but that was scrubbed late Friday after it was determined that a refueling aircraft for the radar tracking plane was unavailable.

CALIPSO and CloudSat are flying into space aboard the swift and dependable Boeing Delta II rocket. With more than 300 successful flights, the dual-stage Delta II is NASA's medium-size payload specialist.

JOHOR BARU: News of the alleged capture of a baby Bigfoot in Kota Tinggi last month has started an international debate on the need to protect the mythical creature.

Following this, the Johor Government has announced total protection for the Bigfoot, as a State heritage, which cannot be injured, captured, transported out of the State or killed.

This has won the praise of the American based Bigfoot Research Organisation (BFRO), which said: "The proactive step by Johor to declare the Bigfoot totally protected has disproved the assumption that no government would ever declare the species protected until at least one specimen was obtained by a hunter.

"Given the rarity of the species, it would have been a sadly ironic event if the world’s first declaration of protection would have required the death of one of these rare animals."

NASA officials have announced that the agency will send a small "secondary payload" spacecraft to the moon with the launch of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), scheduled for October 2008.
During a recent press briefing at NASA headquarters, Scott Horowitz, associate administrator for the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate, said the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) will travel independently of the orbiter to search for water ice.
The LCROSS spacecraft, proposed by NASA's Ames Research Center in California and to be built by Northrop Grumman Corporation, will fly on the same expendable launch vehicle that will launch the orbiter from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
