Sonora X-Files: Radio show examines city's historical, current fascination with UFOs | News |
Simerley sought to find some rational conclusion to the historical record, noting the "remarkable similarities" between a proposed aircraft invention a year before similar crafts were supposedly spotted in 1896 above California.
David Allen Simerley, 68 of Jamestown, has produced a new program called "The Sonora X-Files" on Sonora community radio station KAAD-LP about UFO phenomena, early air travel experimentation and alien-fever in the Mother Lode.
Former Pentagon official says UFOs have repeatedly meddled with U.S.
An ex-pentagon official says that UFOs have repeatedly meddled with U.S. nuclear technology, even forcing some facilities to go offline.
'Now in this country we've had incidents where these UAPs have interfered and actually brought offline our nuclear capabilities,' Elizondo said in an interview.
Elizondo was asked about several UFO sightings above secret nuclear weapons facilities and the fact that almost every major nuclear power across the globe has reported and declassified these sightings.

If you think that hackers being inside your systems is a bad idea, that's probably because you've been conditioned into equating hackers with criminals. However, the fact is that while plenty of cybercrimes do involve hacking, all hackers are not criminals and hacking itself is not a crime.
"Hacking just means to find a solution to a problem, and we already have a term for those doing this illegally: a cybercriminal," Luke Tucker, vice-president of community at hacker-powered bug bounty platform HackerOne, says. "The reality is that hackers have a range of different motivations, from those setting out to illegally break into organizations or do harm, to others who are helping to do good."
Ransomware hackers remain largely out of reach behind Russia's cybercurtain - Los Angeles
U.S. authorities are running into a major obstacle in holding hackers responsible for an onslaught of ransomware attacks: The extortionists remain out of reach in Russia, safely ensconced behind a cybercurtain as difficult to penetrate as the iron one that defined the Cold War.
"The criminal hacking the Russian government is willing to tolerate and take advantage of is beyond what we see in virtually every other country," said John Demers, the Justice Department's top national security prosecutor who has battled ransomware since 2017. "It is very difficult to stop hacking when it is occurring in a country that is more than just tolerating it, but is quite happy with it."

Hack the Army: US Army assets hacked by crack team of 40 operatives
Across six weeks, starting in January 2021, a team of hackers described as top-tier military and civilian operatives took aim at military assets belonging to the U.S. Department of the Army and the U.S. Defense Digital Services. These assets included a number of army.mil and westpoint.edu applications. The operation was a success, and that's no bad thing because the hackers were participating in the third Hack the Army event to have taken place since 2016.
You have to remember that while many cybercrimes involve hacking, that doesn't mean all hackers are criminals. In this case, the hacker-powered event was part of a bug bounty scheme developed to uncover previously unknown vulnerabilities 'hiding in plain sight' so they can be fixed before adversaries are able to exploit them and weaken national security.
Beef supplier JBS paid ransomware hackers $11 million
JBS, the largest beef supplier in the world, paid the ransomware hackers who breached its computer networks about $11 million, the company said Wednesday.
The company was hacked in May by REvil, one of a number of Russian-speaking hacker gangs, leading meat plants across the U.S. and Australia to shut down for at least a day. News of the payment was first reported by The Wall Street Journal .
Like many other ransomware groups, REvil has made millions in recent years by hacking organizations, encrypting their files and demanding fees, often large bitcoin payments, in exchange for a decryptor program and a promise not to leak the files to the public.
Ransomware's suspected Russian roots point to a long detente between the Kremlin and hackers -
MOSCOW — The ransomware hackers suspected of targeting Colonial Pipeline and other businesses around the world have a strict set of rules.
"In the West you say, 'Don't . . . where you eat,' " said Dmitry Smilyanets, a former Russia-based hacker who is now an intelligence analyst at Recorded Future, a cybersecurity company with offices in Washington and other cities around the world. "It's a red line."
One password allowed hackers to disrupt Colonial Pipeline, CEO tells senators | Reuters
The Colonial Pipeline hack demonstrated that much of the company's infrastructure remains highly vulnerable and the government and companies must work harder to prevent future hacks, senators said during the hearing.
Security experts call the use of a single-factor login system a sign of poor cybersecurity "hygiene." They recommend two-factor authentication, which requires a secondary measure like a mobile text or hardware token, and most major companies require this across all internal applications.
The Justice Department on Monday reported it successfully retrieved $2.3 million in bitcoin paid by Colonial Pipeline to ransomware hackers in April.
But the news caused a stir of confusion online — some speculated that bitcoin was "hacked," and on Tuesday, the price of bitcoin seemed to slide due to concerns over security of the cryptocurrency.
Though it isn't exactly clear how it was done, experts say the FBI's ability to retrieve the bitcoin ransom was due to the criminals' storage of their private keys, rather than any vulnerability with the cryptocurrency itself.

Training robots to manipulate soft and deformable objects | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of
Robots can solve a Rubik's cube and navigate the rugged terrain of Mars, but they struggle with simple tasks like rolling out a piece of dough or handling a pair of chopsticks. Even with mountains of data, clear instructions, and extensive training, they have a difficult time with tasks easily picked up by a child.
A new simulation environment, PlasticineLab , is designed to make robot learning more intuitive. By building knowledge of the physical world into the simulator, the researchers hope to make it easier to train robots to manipulate real-world objects and materials that often bend and deform without returning to their original shape.

The following is an excerpt from The New Breed: What Our History With Animals Reveals About Our Future With Robots by Kate Darling.
Robots are unlike some of the other interventions we've used with kids previously. Static toys and screens have different characteristics. Robots like the Huggable can talk, move their bodies, and have animated facial expressions. Unlike a passive stuffed animal or a flat animation on an iPad, these robots interact in the physical world.

Bacteria-sized robots take on microplastics and win by breaking them down -- ScienceDaily
Small pieces of plastic are everywhere, stretching from urban environments to pristine wilderness. Left to their own devices, it can take hundreds of years for them to degrade completely. Catalysts activated by sunlight could speed up the process, but getting these compounds to interact with microplastics is difficult.
While plastic products are omnipresent indoors, plastic waste and broken bits now litter the outdoors, too. The smallest of these -- microplastics less than 5 mm in size -- are hard to pick up and remove. In addition, they can adsorb heavy metals and pollutants, potentially harming humans or animals if accidentally consumed.

Space Radiation Shows Limited Effects on Mammalian Sperm DNA, Fertility | Genomeweb
NEW YORK – A team from Japan has shown that several years of space radiation appeared to have manageable effects on freeze-dried mammalian sperm in terms of DNA damage and fertility, touting the results as evidence for the feasibility of a germ cell-based repository of animal DNA at a site in space.
"To conserve genetic resources permanently … extraterrestrial preservation of germ cells is a new choice for our future," the authors wrote. "For this purpose, freeze-drying spermatozoa, oocytes, or embryos is a better solution than traditional cryopreservation."

Fact Check-Meme about politicians born nine months after Roswell incident intended humorously |
One viral post with around 15,000 shares on Facebook can be seen here . While comments indicate many understand it is a meme intended for humor ("Lighten up everyone. It's a joke" and "[laughing emoji] I love this!"), other comments indicate some took the post seriously ("This post is FALSE! None of the names mentioned were born in the same year, and none of them were even born in 1948!!" and "Trump was born June 14, 1946. McConnel (sic) was born February 20, 1942.
The meme says, in part, "Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, 73 years ago, numerous witnesses claim that an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO), with five aliens aboard crashed into a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico […] However, what you may NOT know is that during the month of April, year 1948, nine months after the historic day, the following people were born: Mike Pence, Donald Trump, Paul Manafort, Mitch McConnell."
CU the site of one of the last government-commissioned reports on UFOs. What does it say?
Later this month, U.S. intelligence agencies are expected to present to Congress a highly anticipated unclassified report detailing what they know about unidentified flying objects (UFOs).
According to unnamed officials reported to have been briefed on its contents, the task force did not find evidence that the unexplained aerial phenomena (likened to UFOs) that Navy pilots have witnessed in recent years are alien spacecrafts. But the report does not definitively say they aren't.

Many UFO sightings in Delaware, Maryland remain unsolved
Whether the government says so or not, Peter Davenport thinks he knows the truth: aliens do exist. He's seen them and even has a website that documents UFO sightings, with data broken down by each state, he said.
Delaware has 294 reports of UFO sightings, compared to 1,300 for neighboring Maryland, according to the National UFO Reporting Center, a nonprofit based in Washington state.
Editorial: As we await the U.S. government's UFO report, a reminder to keep reaching
A still image from video released by the Department of Defense shows a 2004 encounter near San Diego between two Navy F/A-18F fighter jets and an unknown object.
Until now, the best-known UFO-related publication may be a fictional tome entitled “To Serve Man,” featured in a classic “Twilight Zone” episode that still thrills viewing audiences in reruns and “Twilight Zone” marathons. As “Twilight Zone” fans can tell you, authors of the book are the Kanamits, a race of 9-foot-tall aliens of vastly superior intelligence.
Neffsville saucer sighting in 1952 remains among handful of unresolved UFO cases | Local News |
Bill Ford and Gordon James were among the teenagers who volunteered as spotters at the Neffsville Ground Observer post in 1953 as part of the national Civil Defense program. The two were among five teenagers who spotted UFOs from that post.
In the early morning hours of summer 1952, three Neffsville boys spotted what they believed to be a UFO.
The Lancaster New Era noted that the three boys, Gordon James, Bill Ford and Tom Groff, all about 14 years old at the time, saw what they believed to be a flying saucer "whirring overhead" near the Neffsville Ground Observation Post at around 4 a.m. on Aug. 20, 1952. The post was one of many civilian air-spotter posts set up as part of Civil Defense initiatives in the 1950s and crewed by volunteers.

Nasa starts investigation into UFO seen by Navy pilots who are 'sure that they saw something
Nasa is investigating the sighting of unidentified flying objects seen by Navy pilots, the space agency's chief administrator Bill Nelson has said.
Video footage from 2018, released by the US Department of Defense, showed pilots attempting to track a rapidly speeding object across the water. The UFO does not have wings or tail, which would be on a normal craft, or visible exhaust plume.
"I have talked to those Navy pilots, and they are sure that they saw something real. And of course, we've seen their video from their jets. What is it? We don't know", Mr Nelson told CNN .
How to find UFO locations, fly them, and reboot in Fortnite
UFOs will appear around the map, but one surefire way to come across them during matches is to look for the points of interest with glowing purple letters or blue smoke. These locations will vary match to match. There may also be grounded craft around the map that we have yet to discover. We know of one that can be found in some bushes on the southern island of Camp Cod. For now, we’ll focus on the UFOs that are airborne.
Your team can also ride on top of your UFO. Just set down and let them jump in like it’s any other human vehicle. Speaking of which, the UFO will let you reboot your allies at any location during your Fortnite matches. No more anxiety about getting pushed by aggressive enemies the moment after you stick a reboot at one of the van locations. You will need 10 seconds to charge the reboot function, so just plan accordingly.
