Talk of UFOs is taking off.The U.S. has spent the last several decades attempting to reverse engineer the technology found among the wreckage of crashed UFOs and has recovered “non-human biologics” during its work, a whistleblower told a House committee on Wednesday.Former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch testified alongside two former military pilots during a bipartisan hearing of the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs, when he told lawmakers that though he has never seen an alien spacecraft in person, he has spoken to dozens of high ranking government officials who have.Under direct questioning by U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), Grusch said some of the “remains” of pilots discovered at crash sites were “non-human.”“That was the assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program I talked to, that are currently still on the program,” Grusch said.Grusch testified that, while assigned to the National Reconnaissance Offi...

Alaska board delays action on proposal to bar transgender girls from girls’ high school sports teams

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:55:31 GMT

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — The state board of education Wednesday delayed action on a proposal that would bar transgender girls from participating on high school girls’ athletic teams in Alaska, with several board members saying they wanted more time to consider the issue.Opponents of the proposal called it discriminatory and unconstitutional and say it likely will lead to litigation. Supporters, including Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy, said it is needed to ensure fairness in girls’ sports. The board heard more than 2 1/2 hours of public testimony Wednesday, in addition to receiving roughly 1,400 pages of written testimony ahead of the meeting, and went into executive session on the matter. Later, several board members said they favored postponing action on the proposed rule at Wednesday’s meeting but taking up the issue at a future date, perhaps during a special meeting. Two new board members were sworn in at the start of Wednesday’s meeting and another member wa...

Rain brings small ‘reprieve’ in B.C.’s north, but wildfire conditions dire elsewhere

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:55:31 GMT

The number of active wildfires in British Columbia has dropped sharply to about 400 as cooler weather and recent rain has cut the fire risk, but another hot spell could wipe out those gains as large sections of the province wilt under severe drought.Provincial fire information officer Mike McCulley said the BC Wildfire Service is grateful for rain in B.C.’s north, saying it has allowed for “a small piece of reprieve.”“It really helps us to get a handle on the fires and make some good progress,” he said in an interview Wednesday. “We’ve adjusted our tactics accordingly to try to take advantage of this window.”The service is reporting just 10 new fires in the last 24 hours amid the easing conditions.However, McCulley said this will be short lived.“We will be back into some very intense and dire wildfire conditions and extreme fire behaviour in the southeast part of the province especially, as they received virtually no precipitatio...

Ocean currents vital for distributing heat could collapse by midcentury, study says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:55:31 GMT

A system of ocean currents that transports heat northward across the North Atlantic could collapse by mid-century, according to a new study, and scientists have said before that such a collapse could cause catastrophic sea-level rise and extreme weather across the globe.In recent decades, researchers have both raised and downplayed the specter of Atlantic current collapse. It even prompted a movie that strayed far from the science. Two years ago the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said any such catastrophe is unlikely this century. But the new study published in Nature Communications suggests it might not be as far away and unlikely as mainstream science says.The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation is a vital system of ocean currents that circulates water throughout the Atlantic Ocean, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It’s a lengthy process, taking an estimated 1,000 years to complete, but has slowed even more s...

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A jury found a Green Bay woman guilty Wednesday of killing and dismembering a former boyfriend and scattering his body parts at various locations. The Brown County jury deliberated less than an hour before convicting Taylor Schabusiness, 25, of homicide, third-degree sexual abuse and mutilating a corpse in the February 2022 killing of Shad Thyrion, 24, news outlets reported.Authorities say she strangled Thyrion at the Green Bay home he shared with his mother, sexually abused him and dismembered his body, leaving parts of it throughout the house and in a vehicle.In his closing argument, Brown County District Attorney David Lasee called the case “bizarre.”“This is strange. This is unnatural — but in no way is it unclear,” Lasee said. “She did cause Shad Thyrion’s death.”Defense attorney Christopher Froelich said the case was “a puzzling, unclear collection of facts.” “Was this an accidental death? Was there intent to kill Shad Thryion? It’s fog...

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to discuss military issues and the regional security environment, state media said Thursday as the country celebrated the 70th anniversary of an armistice that halted fighting in the 1950-53 Korean War.The North’s official Korean Central News Agency said Kim and Shoigu talked Wednesday in the capital, Pyongyang, and reached a consensus on unspecified “matters of mutual concern in the field of national defense and security and on the regional and international security environment.”The report did not specify what was discussed.
