The Turkish UFO site Siriusufo.org says the CIA has officially asked the Turkish intelligence agency MIT for information on recent UFO sightings there. MIT has requested UFO reports from the Turkish Air Force and from Turkish Airlines. Turkey has had a large increase in reports of UFO sightings since 1999, especially from pilots.

The Sirius website received 14 reports of Turkish UFO sightings in April and 26 in May. Some of the May sightings were videotaped and photographed, and the photos are on their website.

NASA Chief Engineer Paul Hill, author of Unconventional Flying Objects, was a distinguished, award winning engineer of the very highest caliber, who knew UFOs are real because he saw them himself. Instead of denying their existence or blaming them on ball lightning, he accepted the fact that they are extraterrestrial craft and used his professional skills to backward engineer them in order to try to figure out how they work. He wrote a book about this, but NASA prevented him from printing it during his lifetime. After his death, his daughter happened to find it in his effects, and had it published. This book is an important historical document, and a powerful rebuttal to skeptics who say that no leading aerospace scientist has ever seen a UFO.read more

Amanda Onion writes in abcnews.com that monogamy may be good for a marriage, but in some animals, it’s bad for the species. Researchers in Ghana have discovered that animals living on reserves, with access to fewer mates than they would have in the wild, have a higher risk of extinction.

“In avoiding extinction, it pays to be promiscuous,” says biologist Justin Brashares. He analyzed the population levels of large mammals in six reserves in Ghana, where rangers have kept careful records for more than 30 years. In that time, 78 species became locally extinct, mostly due to hunting and loss of habitat. But it was monogamy that dealt the final blow: the males had only a small group of females available to mate with.
