Amazing UFO Over Steuben, Maine
Steuben, Maine - 6/19/2015: My dad was outside with his wife and they saw a light when they turned to look they saw a large craft hovering. It made no noise. It had stationary blue lights on top and pulsating white lights around the bottom. Suddenly, still without making a sound it zipped to the right, zipped back to the left and that flew away at a crazy speed. My father said he felt it was a craft from the start. While I have believed in UFOS since childhood I have always known my dad to be a skeptic, now he stands outside every night looking for another one. - MUFON CMS

FBI Agent: The CIA Could Have Stopped 9/11
Mark Rossini, a former FBI special agent at the center of an enduring mystery related to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, says he is “appalled” by the newly declassified statements by former CIA Director George Tenet defending the spy agency’s efforts to detect and stop the plot.
Rossini, who was assigned to the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center (CTC) at the time of the attacks, has long maintained that the U.S. government has covered up secret relations between the spy agency and Saudi individuals who may have abetted the plot. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers who flew commercial airliners into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and a failed effort to crash into the U.S. Capitol, were Saudis.
A heavily redacted 2005 CIA inspector general’s report, parts of which had previously been released, was further declassified earlier this month. It found that agency investigators "encountered no evidence" that the government of Saudi Arabia "knowingly and willingly supported" Al-Qaeda terrorists. It added that some CIA officers had “speculated” that “dissident sympathizers within the government” may have supported Osama bin Laden but that “the reporting was too sparse to determine with any accuracy such support.” Read more at FBI Agent: The CIA Could Have Stopped 9/11

Witnesses tell of seeing Mermaid tail off the Queensland Coast
Tuesday 10.45am: Confirmation has been received that a mermaid is travelling inland up the Fitzroy River towards Rockhampton off the Southern Great Barrier Reef.
Reports (literally) surfaced last week identifying a mermaid off the Capricorn coast, heading towards the mouth of the Fitzroy River.
A mermaid is an aquatic creature with the upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. With the tail usually covered in bright vibrant colours, meeting a mermaid is the dream of every little girl.
Mermaid Melissa's secret den found hidden in an underwater cave
Four-year-old Capricorn Coast resident Eve Coll reported one of the sightings while playing at the beach.
"I was at the beach playing and I saw a mermaid swimming," said Ms Eve.
"She had long hair and a very lovely tail that she flapped in the air. She was very very pretty and her tail sparkled.
"I don't know where she was going but she was heading towards the river instead of back out to sea."
Residents are interested in the validity of these reports, with many raising the question as to why a mermaid would be in these waters.
Bill Sawynok, from Infofish Australia and one of the coordinators of the Barra Bounty confirms that the sightings are correct.
"We have been monitoring the situation, and are able to confirm that a mermaid has been located travelling up the Fitzroy River," said Mr Sawynock.
"There are a number of water vehicles that utilise the Fitzroy River, so it is important to monitor and investigate reports such as this to ensure the safety of everyone.
"We are pleased to say that we are taking the appropriate steps to ensure her safety while in our waters. But we ask that everyone keeps an eye out for the mermaid during her time in the river."
Manager of Regional Promotions, Ms Sarah Reeves said that she was excited by these reports and was working towards providing options for the special visitor during her stay.
"There is really only one reason why a mermaid would be in these waters, and that is for the Rockhampton River Festival as we celebrate everything beneath the surface," said Ms Reeves.
"The organising team of the festival have spoken to our friends at Yamaha, and we are very lucky that they have a 20 metre fish tank which is suitable for a mermaid to splash and swim in while enjoying the festival.
"It's hard to lock her down as she can spend up to four minutes under water.
As soon as she resurfaces we hope to confirm times for when she can be introduced to visitors at the Rockhampton River Festival.
Monday: REPORTS are circulating that a Mermaid has been spotted off the Capricorn Coast.
These sightings have been confirmed from a number of different sources, with reports indicating the mermaid is entering the mouth of the Fitzroy River.
The Rockhampton Regional Council has issued a statement saying these sightings are currently being investigated. - The Morning Bulletin
NOTE: Melissa does make a very good mermaid. Viral promotion, no doubt.

New report predicts World Collapse by 2040
Scientists have predicted that a cataclysmic series of events could occur within the next 30 years.
In a new report released by Lloyds this week the Anglia Ruskin University’s Global Sustainability Institute has outlined its prediction of a global collapse brought about by food and water shortages, energy loss and a period of prolonged political instability.
Supported by both the UK and US governments, the report was commissioned for the purpose of assessing the risks associated with food shortages and other issues over the next few decades.
"Global demand for food is on the rise, driven by unprecedented growth in the world’s population, which is expected to surpass 9 billion by 2050," the report authors wrote.
"To meet the increased demand for food driven by these factors, the FAO (UN Food and Agriculture Organisation) projects that we must more than double global agricultural production by 2050."
The report also indicated that factors such as climate change, extreme weather events, floods, droughts, wildfires and other environmental concerns are all contributing to the problem.
"This is further exacerbated by the growing issue of water scarcity, which is accelerating at such a pace that two-thirds of the world’s population could live under water stress conditions by 2025."
"Volatile food prices and increasing political instability are likely to magnify the impacts of food production shocks, causing a cascade of economic, social and political impacts across the globe." - New report predicts world collapse by 2040
