Every year millions of birds make heroic journeys guided by the earth’s magnetic field. How they detect magnetic fields has puzzled scientists for decades. Now biologists have figured out how they do it–they’ve found tiny magnets inside their ears.

These magnetic cells, called hair cells, are responsible for detecting sound and gravity.

What are birds saying? The world is full of them–of one kind or another (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this show).

Charles Darwin speculated that "The sounds uttered by birds offer in several respects the nearest analogy to language." Language, he thought, might have had its origins in singing, which "might have given rise to words expressive of various complex emotions."read more

The BBC is reporting that an airliner had a near miss with an unidentified flying object over Glasgow on December 2. A just-released report from the Airprox Board says that the object passed 300 feet beneath the A320 Airbus, which was at 4,000 feet. The pilots observed an object ‘looming’ ahead of them at a distance of a few hundred meters. They had little time to observe it, but agreed that it was blue and yellow or silver, and had a narrow frontal area. They felt that it was larger than a balloon, but hardly had time to observe it before it was gone.

Authors such as Graham Hancock have claimed that the real human past is very different from what conventional research suggests and now conventional archaeological methods have revealed that Stonehenge, long thought to date from 2,500 BC, actually dates from 5,000 years before that, or 7,500 BC.

Excavation near Stonehenge found remains of a settlement dating back to 7,500 BC, revealing the site was occupied some 5,000 years earlier than previously thought.

Working at Vespasian’s Camp in Amesbury, Wiltshire, less than a mile from the megalithic stones, a team led by archaeologist David Jacques of the Open University unearthed material which proved that people settled there as early as 7,500 BC, not the 2,500 BC that has been previously thought.

You are walking down the street with a friend. A shot is fired. The two of you duck behind the nearest cover and you pull out your smartphone. A map of the neighborhood pops up on its screen with a large red arrow pointing in the direction the shot came from.

A team of computer engineers has made such a scenario possible by developing an inexpensive hardware module and related software that can transform an Android smartphone into a simple shooter location system.
