'I WAS VIOLATED BY ALIENS...'
NETFLIX docu-series Files of the Unexplained rose to popularity as viewers became fascinated by the horrifying supernatural experiences it investigated - but there are some things the show left out.
The documentary ended up topping 3 Body Problem as one of the most-watched series on the streaming platform with its exploration of group disappearances, ghost sightings, and alien encounters across North America.
In the very first episode, documentary makers delved into the Pascagoula Abduction of Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker on October 11, 1973.
International UFO researcher Philip Mantle helped the producers of the show with their investigation and has now revealed that there was a darker side to the story that did not make it into the Netflix series.

Are ALIENS Hitching Rides on Meteors?
A fringe theory called "panspermia" suggests that lifeforms can spread to new planets by hitching rides on meteors. New research lays out a roadmap for finding where these hypothetical, planet-hopping aliens may reside.
If life can spread from planet to planet — a concept known as "panspermia" — then we might be able to detect it, even if we don't know what we're looking for, new research suggests.
Astronomers are on the hunt for life beyond Earth. While there are several promising locations within the solar system, the sheer abundance of exoplanets means that we are most likely to find life on a planet orbiting another star. According to NASA, there are more than 5,000 confirmed exoplanets, and that number is always rising. Read more at Aliens may be hitching rides on meteors to colonize the cosmos, study suggests

INSECTS & OTHER ANIMALS Have Consciousness
In 2022, researchers at the Bee Sensory and Behavioral Ecology Lab at Queen Mary University of London observed bumblebees doing something remarkable: The diminutive, fuzzy creatures were engaging in activity that could only be described as play. Given small wooden balls, the bees pushed them around and rotated them. The behavior had no obvious connection to mating or survival, nor was it rewarded by the scientists. It was, apparently, just for fun.
The study on playful bees is part of a body of research that a group of prominent scholars of animal minds cited today, buttressing a new declaration that extends scientific support for consciousness to a wider suite of animals than has been formally acknowledged before. For decades, there’s been a broad agreement among scientists that animals similar to us — the great apes, for example — have conscious experience, even if their consciousness differs from our own. In recent years, however, researchers have begun to acknowledge that consciousness may also be widespread among animals that are very different from us, including invertebrates with completely different and far simpler nervous systems.
