A study analyzing historical sky survey data found small but significant associations between short-lived star-like transients, nuclear weapons testing, and reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), suggesting potential links that warrant further investigation.
A stunning new image captured by the Hubble and Webb space telescopes showcases the colliding galaxy clusters known as MACS0416, located 4.3 billion light-years from Earth. The image combines visible and infrared light to provide a comprehensive view of the universe, with blue galaxies representing the closest objects and red galaxies indicating greater distance. Webb's observations also identified 14 transients, including stars and supernovas, thanks to gravitational lensing. One star system, nicknamed "Mothra," appeared magnified in both Hubble and Webb observations, raising questions about its origin.
In 1952, three stars were captured in an image taken by the Palomar Observatory, but disappeared less than an hour later and have not been seen since. A new study explored possible explanations, ruling out factors such as photographic flaws or moving sources. The objects may have been asteroids or objects in our solar system, possibly from the Oort cloud, which would explain their absence in subsequent surveys. Another possibility is gravitational lensing, although this would raise further questions. Further research is needed to determine the true nature of these mysterious transients.
A dispute between two transients in downtown Sioux City resulted in a stabbing, with a woman stabbing a man with a pocket knife. The victim was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition, while the woman has been taken into custody by the police. The cause of the dispute is currently unknown.
