It’s very possible we’ll know more about UFOs soon. Due to a stipulation inside the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, the federal government is now required to share any and all internal reports on the subject of unidentified flying objects with the National Archives, which will then (eventually) share those reports...

A team of scientists has shown that crows can ‘count’ out loud – producing a specific and deliberate number of caws in response to visual and auditory cues. While other animals such as honeybees have shown an ability to understand numbers, this specific manifestation of numeric literacy has not yet been observed in any...

An Alaskan man has been killed by a moose that charged suddenly while he was trying to take photographs of its two calves....

A world that bears more than a passing similarity to Earth has just been discovered orbiting a star just 40 light-years from the Solar System....

Nightmares are unpleasant, but perfectly normal – for most. However, my colleagues and I have recently discovered that they can also presage autoimmune diseases, such as lupus....

For nearly 25 years, we thought we knew how the Universe would end. Now, new measurements point to a profoundly different conclusion....

Cryptozoology is the study of mythical creatures. They could be extinct animals thought to have come back to life or new species that have yet to be identified. Whether we believe it or not, cryptozoology is fascinating, and we’d all love to see one of those animals discovered and named beyond any reasonable doubt.

A new laboratory study suggests that human body lice are more efficient at transmitting Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes plague, than previously thought, supporting the possibility that they may have contributed to past pandemics....

The lithic assemblage recovered from sublevels VI-B Middle and Upper appears to be the result of Homo sapiens group settlements at Lake Eyasi during the first part of MIS5....

For 100 years, Egypt’s scientists have watched as their nation’s story was largely told by institutions from Europe and the United States....

The British Museum announced last year that ancient gems, jewellery and other items from its collection, were missing, stolen or damaged....

Some of Alaska’s clear, icy blue waterways are turning a startling rust orange – so intense it’s visible from Earth’s orbit....

Runaway pets — and possibly some zoo escapees — have fueled the spread of invasive snakes across the island. It’s an environmental catastrophe in the making....

Recent years have seen increasing public attention regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Hypotheses for such phenomena tend to fall into two classes: a conventional terrestrial explanation (e.g., human-made drones), or an extraterrestrial explanation (i.e., advanced civilizations from elsewhere in the cosmos)....

You probably already know about the Roswell UFO incident, but New Mexico’s history of unidentified flying objects is far richer – and weirder – than just that one event....

A quick calculation reveals that, if we wanted to collect 10% of the Sun’s energy at the distance the Earth is from the Sun, we’d need a surface area equal to 1 billion Earths. And if we had a super-advanced technology that could make the megastructure only 10km thick, that’d mean we’d need about a million Earths worth...

Viewing our cosmic neighbors in a new light...

Exposure to the industrial solvent trichloroethylene (TCE) and other volatile organic compounds in drinking water raised the risk of Parkinson’s disease decades later, an analysis of 158,000 military veterans showed....

Suppose that we have definitively detected extraterrestrial life. It could be simple, unicellular organisms on Mars or Europa, complex alien fauna in a distant exoplanet, or even an advanced civilization reaching out to us. The exact form and location are not as crucial as the fact of their existence itself. This revelation...

What you need to know about the inside story of how the company allowed PFOS to seep into all of us while sitting on research that showed the chemical is toxic....

The team used ultraviolet (UV) light to identify patches of preserved skin, which are invisible in natural light. Further investigation of the fossil skin using X-rays and infrared light revealed spectacular details of preserved cellular structure....

Human faeces in our rivers is putting the public in danger and the risk will increase without action, the UK’s top engineers and scientists have warned in a report....

Puzzling Havana Syndrome injuries that have afflicted U.S. diplomats may have a more complicated explanation than solely pulsed microwaves or mass psychology...
