Despite government pressure on NASA not to support the scenario in The Day After Tomorrow, scientists are backing the science behind the film. The part of the film most of them object to has to do with the compression of events that they think will happen gradually. Marine physicist Tim Barnett says, “What happens will frankly be worse than what they show, in the long run. Our lives and all our systems will get stretched and stretched and pushed and pushed. The conflicts that will come up will be remarkable.” Andrew Bridges quotes oceanographer William Patzert as saying, “?Perhaps it’s an opportunity to crank up the dialogue on our role in climate change.”

Two UFOs have been filmed in the U.S. and a man in Chile has finally revealed his abduction from his car in 1997. This weekour subscribers can see the incredible UFO video from Oregon. In Michigan, Donna Billett says, “I was so shocked when I saw [the UFO] out the bathroom window I just stood there in awe for five minutes.”

Matt Whetstone reports in the Cadillac (Michigan) News that Billett’s son Allan McIlvain ran out of the house and filmed the object for about 30 minutes before it finally moved quickly out of sight. In the video, the objects bounces and weaves, just like the video clip from Montana.

“I thought it was lightning at first,” Billett says. “It was like flipping on a light switch?the whole sky was bright.”

Scientists believe they’ve found the reason why we suffer from jet lag: It’s because we have two timekeeping centers in our brains. One follows the clock, while the other one is influenced by natural events, such as sunrise and sunset. When we travel to another time zone, it takes a while for the two centers become coordinated again.

While scientists have discovered the existence of the two centers, they still don’t understand how they communicate with each other. If they did, they might be able to develop a drug that could “reset” our 24-hour inner clocks when we travel to a new time zone. Researcher Horacio de la Iglesia says, “If we can discover how the two parts of the brain are synchronized we might be able to find mechanisms to treat jet lag.”

In Florida, racing greyhounds are coming down with the same flu virus that affects race horses, even though they don’t race on the same tracks. We know that “bird flu” jumps from chickens to humans and SARS jumped to us from civet cats. While monkeys pass HIV to humans, they get it from another, unknown source. However, this is the first known incidence of flu jumping from one animal species to another.
