The designs of military aircraft have been influenced by the Aztec god of war: the hummingbird. It’s long been believed in the UFO community that modern aircraft designs have been influenced by alien craft. People often see UFOs change shape in front of their eyes?now the military has developed an aircraft that does the same thing.

Traditional saucer-shaped UFOs have been observed morphing into longer, cigar-shaped craft, although this could be due to the angle at which the craft is being viewed from the ground, since a tilted disk can resemble a cigar if it is being viewed from the side rather than from directly underneath. In the Unknowncountry.com subscriber section there is a rare video of a metallic UFO visibly morphing, taken in British Columbia in 2003.

One of the most common descriptions from people who have had close encounters is meeting with something that looks like a “giant praying mantis.” Some witnesses believe that these are the same beings known as the Grays, while others who have seen them believe that they are something entirely different. Could they be from the future when, as some scientists speculate, insects will have possibly replaced man with a new intelligent species of insect form? What would it take for bugs to get large enough to develop the complex brains needed to sustain intelligence? Besides evolution, it would take more oxygen.

We’ve learned about war from hummingbirds and we can learn about memory from a strange little bird call the Clark’s nutcracker. Biologists who study squirrels have come to the conclusion that they have rather limited memories and don’t really “find” the nuts they bury, they just dig up ones that some other squirrel has hidden. But these birds bury tiny nuts in a 15 mile radius, then remember where they put them months later. Those of us who are forgetful would like to know how it’s done.

The population of the United States is now over 300 million. Can we sustain a rate of growth like this?

Economically, no: Andrew Buncombe writes in the Independent that “the average US citizen uses far more than his or her fair share of the planet’s resources?consuming more than four times the worldwide average of energy, almost three times as much water and producing more than twice the average amount of rubbish and five times the amount of carbon dioxide, a major contributor to global warming.” We have to hope that rapidly developing countries like China and India don’t follow our example.

Even at 300 million, we have only 5% of the world’s population, yet, according to Buncombe, we use “23% of its energy, 15% of its meat and 28% of its paper.”
