According to newly-released documents, in 1972 the Ministry of Defense in the U.K. didn’t want the Royal Air Force to take part in a TV debate on UFOs, because it might make the British public believe they were real. There were so many UFO sightings near RAF bases in the 1960s and 70s, that in 1971 the BBC decided to investigate.

Air Commodore Anthony Davis agreed to take part in the show and showed film of military jets which he claimed had been mistaken for UFOs. He said, “Good color film taken [by the BBC] at dusk should show the fire-cones of their jet effluxes in re-heat, apparently hovering and then moving sharply away, as often described in UFO sightings.”

Two women developed infections after touching their eyes after contact with soldiers who were vaccinated against smallpox. Health authorities say you should keep the spot where you were inoculated covered and avoid touching the skin and the bandages that cover it. The smallpox vaccine is made with a live virus called vaccinia, which can cause illness if it moves from the inoculation site to another part of your body or to someone else. This is important to remember in case the vaccinations are given to the general public in the future.

Both women have been treated and are expected to recover. One slept with a soldier, the other handled another soldier’s bandages. So if you’re in love with a soldier, mailman or politician, make sure he keeps his vaccination covered.read more

Before he was captured, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was plotting attacks against bridges, apartment buildings and hotels in New York, according to documents seized from his apartment, as well as notes taken from his pockets. Authorities are now searching for two accomplices in New York City, as well as a third person who probably lives in suburban Westchester or Putnam County. It’s known that al-Qaeda has already done surveillance on U.S. bridges, including the Brooklyn Bridge. “It’s a race against time to thwart attacks that have already been planned,” says former FBI analyst Matthew Levitt.
