Flying HUMANOID-SHAPED Object (PHOTO)
Onlookers were left perplexed by the appearance of a UFO that happened to be shaped a bit like a human.
We've seen a lot of videos and pictures over the years of strange, sometimes indescribable objects in the sky, but this particular example is perhaps one of the weirdest we've seen so far.
Footage of the anomalous object, which was filmed over Sequoia Park in California, was shared last week by the Twitter user @528vibes who described it as a "flying humanoid".
At first, the footage is a bit difficult to make out as the object itself isn't in proper focus.
Over time, however, it's possible to make out that the object has a distinctly human-like shape.
If you speed up the clip (or just slide the position marker along), the object actually looks like a figure rotating and tumbling through the air with arms and legs flailing in all directions.
So what on Earth could this be? Read more at Strange humanoid-shaped object filmed in the skies over California

MUTATED BACTERIA Discovered on ISS
The International Space Station (ISS) is home to crews of astronauts conducting research in low Earth orbit, but it also hosts a group of mutated bacteria that are thriving under the harsh conditions of space.
A group of researchers took a closer look at bacterial strains on board the ISS and found that they had mutated to a different form that’s genetically and functionally distinct from their Earthly counterparts. In a new study published on PubMed, scientists suggest that bacteria in space become more resistant to treatment or drugs, and are able to openly persist in the microgravity environment in abundance.
Over the past two decades, the ISS has hosted nearly 300 astronauts. Although astronauts tend to travel light, they do unintentionally bring their microbes with them to space. As a result, a unique microbial population has grown on the space station. In 2019, researchers conducted the first extensive survey of bacteria and fungi on board the ISS and found a whole bunch of microorganisms living among the astronauts.

HUMAN JAWBONE Found in Rock Collection
Experts have confirmed that a human jawbone that was mysteriously discovered in a child's rock collection once belonged to a United States Marine, who died during his military service over 70 years ago. The identification was made thanks to the work of a group of college students and a high school intern who may be the youngest person to help solve a genetic genealogy case.
U.S. Marine Corps Captain Everett Leland Yager was killed in a military training exercise in July 1951, according to a news release issued this week by Ramapo College, the New Jersey institution where students performed tests on the jawbone and eventually linked it back to him. A separate statement from the college's Investigative Genetic Genealogy Center noted that the military exercise involved an airplane accident, although it did not provide more details than that.
