Earth was struck by an unexpected proton storm from the sun on Thursday, August 16. The proton count around our planet rose to 1000 times normal. Scientists were taken by surprise, both by the storm itself and by the speed with which it reached earth.

Normally, proton storms that reach earth come from the side of the sun facing our planet, and are the result of explosions from sunspots. However, no such explosion took place this time. It is believed that a sunspot on the far side of the sun must have exploded, but holographic imagery showing the far side of the sun was insufficient to record the explosion.

For the last several years, the National Institute for Discovery Science(NIDS) in Las Vegas has been collecting historical and eyewitness accountsof sightings of triangular UFOs. “Calls regarding low-flying triangularobjects have been coming in pretty steady for the last 18 months,” says ColmKelleher, deputy administrator for NIDS. “People are describing essentiallysimilar objects in different areas of the country.”

Kelleher said that NIDS has compared its research with triangular UFOsightings recorded by the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and those ofinvestigator Larry Hatch, who currently manages one of the largest UFOdatabases in the world. By putting these 3 sets of UFO data together, NIDSwas able to plot the locations of the sighting on a map of the U.S.

The foreboding threat of world disaster from explosive population growthcould turn out to be overly alarmist, according the authors of a newdemographic study. Their forecast shows there’s a high chance that the world’s population will stop growing before the end of the 21st century. Itsuggests that the total number of people may peak in 70 years or so at about9 billion people, compared with 6.1 billion today.

The scientists say their prediction is more reliable than other populationforecasts because they employed non-traditional but more rigorous methods ofanalysis. The study was conducted by the International Institute for AppliedSystems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg, Austria.

Hundreds of sharks were recently sighted off central Florida’s west coast,prompting officials to warn swimmers and scientists to wonder what luredthem there.

Bull sharks, hammerheads and nurse sharks were among those spotted in theshallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico, northwest of Tampa. Some of the sharkswere up to 10 feet long. No one was bitten.

Terri Behling, a spokeswoman for Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, says it’s too early to speculate about what might be luring the sharks. She says it’s is not unusual for sharks to swim up and down the gulf coastline,following tarpon. But a congregation of so many different species isunusual, she adds.
