We’ve been talking on Dreamland a lot about ancient, submerged underwater cities. Now a volcanic island that’s been submerged off the coast of Sicily for the last 170 years may rise from the deep if nearby seismic tremors continue. “The island could come back to the surface, but we’ll have to wait and see,” says says Enzo Boschi of Italy’s Institute of Geophysics and Vulcanology. “It could be a few weeks or months.”

There’s evidence that quarks have passed through the Earth, giving scientists proof they really exist. Quarks are a strange form of matter that scientists think was created after the Big Bang, and are so dense that a piece the size of a human cell would weigh a ton. However, not every scientist agrees they’re real.
Physicists teamed up with seismologists to search for traces of quarks that might have passed through the Earth at supersonic speed and released the energy of a 50-kiloton nuclear bomb, causing earthquake-like tremors.

In the Norwegian village of Asker, west of Oslo, Helene Solberg looked out her window and saw a comet-like with a long, bright tail flying object flying through afternoon sky shortly after 2 pm. She called her husband Stig, who told her to take a video of it. Helene saw the UFO for 8 minutes and managed to get 3 minutes of it on tape.
“Can I explain what it was? Absolutely not,” says Stig Solheim, after watching the video. The object came out of the west and disappeared to the south. He sent the video to local TV news stations and to the astrophysics department at the University of Oslo, where a professor guessed it might have been a plane.
