We wrote about how lost tribes are being found in Africa by using GPS devices and satellites. Now a tribe has been spotted on the border between Brazil and Peru that has NEVER HAD CONTACT with anyone else.

According to BBC News, photographs taken from an airplane flying above the thatched-roof huts of the village show “red-painted tribe members?pointing bows and arrows up at the camera.” The organization Survival International estimates that over half of the world’s 100 uncontacted tribes live in either Brazil or Peru.

People who have had contact with aliens describe them as “talking inside their heads.” Now NASA is sponsoring a course on how to talk to extraterrestrials.

The UK newspaper the Telegraph, Tom Leonard quotes Jeffrey Lockwood, who is teaching the class at the University of Wyoming, as saying, “We’ve thought a lot about how we might communicate with other worlds, but we haven’t thought much about what we?d actually say.”

One way to do it might be to communicate mathematically. For instance, student Dixie Thoman wrote a poem about menstruation with the syllables arranged in a mathematical order known as the Fibonacci sequence. If crop circles are (as some people think) being created by ETs, then that’s often how they communicate with us.

There may not be much for dinner soon, even in wealthy countries. fish are dying off due to “dead zones” caused by global warming.

As global warming makes the oceans warmer, oxygen-deprived regions are getting bigger. They are caused when microscopic algae accumulate rapidly in dense concentrations, usually due to run off from fertilizer? These areas are known as “red tides” or “dead zones” because fish can’t survive there.

Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego say these phenomena remain unpredictable in not only where they appear, but how long they persist. While not all of them are harmful, some blooms carry toxins that have been known to threaten marine ecosystems and kill not only fish, but marine mammals and birds.
