GUANGZHOU, China — China has completed another major part of its own space station, the latest in a string of ambitious extraterrestrial projects from the world's second-largest economy.
The Long March 7 rocket carrying the Tianzhou-2 cargo spacecraft took off at 8:55 p.m. local time on Saturday from the Wenchang launch site, according to the China Manned Space agency.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, Tianzhou-2 docked with the core module of the space station called Tianhe.
Troy Reimink: UFOs are real. So now what? | News | record-eagle.com
Suddenly everyone, from politicians to military personnel to intelligence officials to mainstream media outlets, seems to be talking about unidentified flying objects. Long considered a punchline, UFOs are now openly discussed as both a scientific curiosity and potential security threat.
Under the more respectable name of "unexplained aerial phenomena," their existence has become an open secret, and the secret is this: Nobody really knows anything.

From the earliest days of hip-hop, rap artists have referenced the extraterrestrial to help us escape our earthbound existence.
In “Rapper’s Delight” — the pioneering 1979 rap song by the Sugarhill Gang that ushered hip-hop into the mainstream — Master Gee recites: “I’m gonna freak ya here, I’m gonna freak you there / I’m gonna move you outta this atmosphere.”

DULUTH — I see that UFOs (unidentified flying objects) are back in the news. U.S. Navy pilots filmed them in 2019, but the Navy kept the encounters under wraps until recently, according to The New York Times. Now, the Pentagon is going to release a full report next month.
One clear summer night about then, when my family was vacationing at a lake cabin in northern Wisconsin, my father, older brother and I were standing in the yard just after sunset when suddenly either my father or brother exclaimed something like, "Lookit that," pointing skyward. Something flashed across the firmament right over the lake. They both saw it.
Happy Birthday Frank Drake! | SETI Institute
Happy Birthday to Frank Drake, the astronomer who established a methodology for finding company among the stars, just celebrated his 91st birthday. He hopes that he'll still be around to witness the first discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence. The chances are good.
Frank's soft-spoken manner occasionally leads those who meet him to misjudge his knowledge and insight. But he didn't simply stumble into a whole new experimental realm; his efforts were deliberate and reasoned.
'Quiet Place 2' spoilers: Millicent Simmonds explains surprise ending
Spoiler alert! The following article reveals the ending of "A Quiet Place Part II." Stop reading if you have not seen the movie, now in theaters.
"The events leading up to this were quite horrific, so I think for her, it was very emotional," Simmonds, 18, who is deaf, tells USA TODAY through an interpreter by Zoom. "Regan felt that she had to take over her dad's role now that he's gone and be sure her family survives. She ultimately wanted to do him justice, and that was her guiding point in helping navigate this world and develop as a young woman."
Model Shaun Ross Charts a Musical Path - The New York Times
After appearing in videos for Beyoncé and Katy Perry, the 30-year-old former model released "Shift," an R&B album with electronic feels.
At one point during filming, Mr. Ross barked orders so aggressively that he sprayed the singer's face with spittle. "I immediately popped out of character and told her, 'Oh my God, I'm so sorry, I just spit all over you,''' he said. "She was like, 'No, it's just acting. You're doing great.'"
Opinion: That UFOs are real is easy to see - The San Diego Union-Tribune
No, I'm not referring to those cheesy flying saucers like you see in the 1957 movie, "Plan 9 From Outer Space." If some object is flying in the sky, it's a "flying object." If we know what it is (a bird, a plane or an errant Frisbee), then we can identify it. But if we can't readily identify what it is, then it's "unidentified."
Over the years, military and commercial pilots have witnessed and recorded flying objects that they cannot readily identify. So they're simply classified as "unidentified flying objects" (UFOs), until we can figure out what they are. If we ever do.
