Bloomberg reported today that Chinese doctors are seeing a concerning, new behavior in coronavirus infections. A new cluster of cases on the northeast region suggest the pathogen may be changing in ways that could complicate efforts to stamp it out. Patients in the northern provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang are carrying the virus for extended periods before showing symptoms. The asymptomatic behavior seen with coronavirus is believed to be one of the reason the virus spreads so easily. Qiu Haibo, one of China's top critical care doctors said on state television: "Patients in the northeast also appear to be taking longer than the one to two weeks observed in Wuhan to develop symptoms after infection, and this delayed onset is making it harder for authorities to catch cases

A large piece of Chinese space debris fell from space yesterday after passing over much of the United States. The debris was a 18-metric-ton core stage from the Long March 5B rocket that China launched on May 5, 2020. The trajectory of the debris passed over Los Angeles and New York before landing off the coast of West Africa just 15 minutes after passing over the US East Coast. The piece is the largest piece of uncontrolled space debris to re-enter the atmosphere since 1991.

As the deadly Wuhan Virus (aka Novel coronavirus, NCP, SARS-CoV-2 virus, COVID-19 disease, or 2019-nCoV) spreads across the planet, the world is applauding China for their handling of the viral outbreak. Railroads in China have been shutdown, flights cancelled, and the city of Wuhan locked down in one of the largest quarantines in history. Meanwhile, Chinese authorities search for the “super spreader” responsible for the outbreak while the media ignores the obvious – Wuhan is home to one of the world’s most deadly virus laboratories, one that specializes in coronaviruses like COVID-19. China's Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory/Wuhan Institute of Virology China’s Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory, home to the Wuhan Institute of Virology,  was opened in 2017 despite scientists' concerns that pathogens could escape the facility and spread

During the Golden Age of UFO sightings, the time between 1940 and 1970, thousands of UFO reports were submitted to officials, many of which were held for decades before being released to the public.  Included in these reports are many notable photographs purported to depict UFO's, or flying saucers as they were known at the time.  Below is a collection of the most popular historic UFO photographs from as early as 1870. UFO over Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia. December 29, 1953     This is widely believed to be a photo of the infamous UFO over Westall Scondary College in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, witnessed by more than 200 students and teachers as it descended into an open, grassy field. The only official explanation to date is "experimental craft". 1966   UFO in

A California businessman suspected something was awry so he hired a private pilot to fly over a factory in a remote desert near the Mexican town of San Jose Iturbide. What he found was startling – nearly one million metric tons of aluminum, stacked in some cases several stories high, and covered with tarp and bales of hay. The cache is heavily guarded and the property surrounded by high walls and razor wire fencing.  The aluminum on the site represents about 6% of the world’s total aluminum inventory and is estimated to be worth over $2 billion dollars. The cache is suspected to be owned by one of China’s richest men, Liu Zhongtian, billionaire owner of China Zhongwang Holdings. It is believed that Zhongtian routed the aluminum

Frames from a video of the spectacular SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket explosion at Cape Canaveral on September 1, 2016 captured an “anomaly” that many suspect may have caused the detonation of the rocket and destruction of its communications satellite payload. In the video frames, which came from a high-speed video source near the launch pad, you can clearly see an unidentified metallic, orb-shaped object approach the launch pad from the right and cross above the rocket before disappearing to the left of the frame. In the video source, the object moves so fast, it can barely be seen without slo-mo post processing. Analysis of the SpaceX Falcon 9 UFO In this first frame, the object can be seen about to pass behind the tower to the right of

For many people, video gaming is serious business. For a 19-year-old boy in China, it’s an addiction. This week police in China found the young gamer lying unconscious under thick bushes near a set of railroad tracks. An ambulance was called and police informed the medics that there was a putrid smell coming from the man’s feet. Hospital workers removed his shoes and found that his feet were so badly infected, they had begun rotting. When the man awoke, he asked for a drink of water and explained that he had spent all of his money playing video games at an Internet cafe and that he had not eaten nor slept for several days. When he ran out of money, he left the café and collapsed from

Like a scene from the sci-fi thriller The Planet of the Apes, villagers in the city of Xianfeng (Sichuan, China) are being accosted daily by hundreds of wild monkeys. Attempts to recapture the monkeys for transport out of the city have failed leaving villagers seeking a way to co-exist with their new unfriendly neighbors. “The villagers are now being terrorized by the monkeys who have taken to destroying crops and homes as well as starting fights among themselves.” In 2003, the village transported 70 macaque monkeys from nearby mountains into the city figuring the idea of monkeys running amok would attract tourists – and it did. Xianfeng became a tourist magnet and the villagers made lots of money from outsiders who travelled to the city to watch the

This week, Chinese officials reported the birth of a two-headed calf in the Linshui county of Sichuan province in southwest China on February 14, 2016. 81-year-old Wen Fangqing told reporters: “A calf with two heads, if I hadn’t seen it myself, I would never have believed it.” The owner of the calf says he heard noises from the shed two days earlier and knew the cow was about to give birth. When the calf was born the next day, the owner was surprised to find it had two heads. The owner says the calf appeared perfectly healthy but unfortunately, died shortly after birth. The mother, who had given birth to three healthy calves prior to this one, is doing fine. Sources: People China

Nobody wants another world war and up until the past decade, many thought the world had matured enough to avoid any new wide scale wars (if accomplished, we’d become the first civilization to eradicate war). Unfortunately, many prominent minds believe we are not only susceptible to war, but that World War III is inevitable – and closer than we may think. Comparing modern-day to 1914's pre-WW1 days It may surprise you to find that when the days leading to World War I are compared to modern times, the periods are eerily similar. For instance, Britain, like the United States today, was a superpower in decline and no longer able to act as the world’s protector. Germany, like China, was a newly formed economic powerhouse. France, like modern-day Japan, was

Chinese state officials say that thirty-five restaurants across China, including a popular chain of hot pot restaurants in Beijing, have been found using opium as seasoning in their food. The China Food and Drug Administration won’t say how or why the opium was placed in the restaurant food but it is believed (based on past cases) that the chefs are trying to “hook” customers on their food and keep them coming back for more. Opium of course, is a narcotic that is highly addictive, and can be easily added to food by sprinkling it with opium poppy seeds. According to Medical Daily: "The administration released a statement this week saying that dozens of restaurants were under investigation for seasoning noodles, hotpot, grilled fish, and fried chicken with

A bizarre video emerged this week showing cars on a busy Chinese street bouncing, rolling, and levitating via some mysterious, unseen force. Chinese officials quickly explained away the video claiming the cars were moved by a cable that had become entangled in the rotating broom of a passing street sweeper. Others however, have found no evidence of a cable in the video and note that despite tossing two large vans and an automobile about, the street sweepers moves not one inch. In the video below, which was recorded in the city of Xingtai, you will see two approaching vans suddenly thrown violently into the air before slamming back down to the road again. According to Chinese officials, a cable had been lain across the road for an upcoming

At one time, there were millions of Saiga antelopes roaming the plains of central Asia. Over time, their numbers were brought down by disease, hunting (their horns were used in traditional Chinese medicine) and oddly, the landing of the Soyuz capsule from the International Space Station (no explanation has yet been given as to why). Still, the population held steady at a quarter-million antelopes until six months ago when 70% of the population mysteriously died. More than 200,000 Saiga antelopes fell dead over the course of just two weeks. Entire herds were wiped out and the causes of the deaths remains a mystery. Conservationists met last week to discuss whether the mass mortality event was attributed to changes in weather or vegetation. Scientists will attempt to repopulate

Thousands of Chinese residents reported seeing a “floating city” in the skies above Foshan in the Guangdong province of China this week. Similar reports occurred in China in 2011 over Huanshan City. In both instances, the apparition shocked and terrified witnesses but only lasted for a few minutes before completely disappearing. Weather experts believe it could be a sort of mirage, an optical illusion called Fata Morgana (named after the mythical sorceress Morgan le Fay who created images of fairy castles in the air to lure sailors to their deaths), but many researchers say the clarity of the apparition rules out cloud or humidity-related weather anomalies. Some have speculated the illusion was a result of Project Blue Beam, a rumored top-secret NASA project that can be used

Some claim they are a rare type of cloud but many believe these UFOs are huge cloaked, alien motherships veiled behind some sort of advanced, semi-transparent cover. This week, pictures poured in from China’s Sichuan Province after residents along the Heilongtan Reservoir spotted a huge cloaked-UFO travelling across the horizon. Shortly after, similar sightings began arriving from India. Check out the photos in the pictorial below and let us know what you think – hoax, weather phenomena, or cloaked UFO…
