PRINCE Philip was an avid reader of books about UFOs and aliens. The Duke of Edinburgh , 99, who died at Windsor Castle on April 9 , spent decades building up his collection. His interest was sparked by his uncle Lord Mountbatten , who wrote an official report about an alien in a silver spaceship landing on his estate. Philip spent the summer of 2019 reading The Halt Perspective, revealing the inside story of Britain’s Rendlesham Forest incident. Troops at two US airbases in Suffolk witnessed strange bright lights for three nights running from December 26, 1980. Officers carried out sorties and one even claimed to have got close enough to touch a triangular spacecraft. The book was co-written by retired US Air Force Col Charles Halt, who was the base deputy commander at the time, and retired West Midlands detective John Hanson. In a letter to Mr Hanson, the Duke’s former private secretary Brigadier Archie Miller-Bakewell wrote: "I am certain it will be read … [Read more...] about Prince Philip was interested in ALIENS and spend decades building up library of books on UFOs

Mozambique: Stark pictures tell horrifying tale of three days under terrorist fire
Pictures shared with Sky News, taken by survivors of the Palma terror attack in Mozambique, give a graphic illustration of a terrifying three days under fire, surrounded by insurgents. Nearly 200 people - including foreign workers - took refuge in one of the town's hotels. But survivors have told Sky News how they fled for their lives because they felt they'd been abandoned and no one was coming to rescue them. One South African contractor spoke of almost constant shooting and shelling during the three days they were trapped inside the Amarula Lodge in Palma. Wesley Nel filmed on his mobile phone throughout and his footage shows those pinned down in the Lodge - including his brother Adrian and father Greg - lying on the floor of the hotel's upstairs restaurant as a volley of gunfire is heard.

Manchester City reach FA Cup semi-finals as Kevin De Bruyne inspires win over Everton
T here must be a way of stopping Pep Guardiola’s great winning-machine but no-one quite knows how yet - not even a manager of Carlo Ancelotti’s calibre whose side tried to win this FA Cup tie without the ball only to find themselves beaten, like all the others. These are times this season when it can feel like the rest of English football exists only as a backdrop for the Guardiola cavalcade, threshing its way through the games and the opponents and the four competitions. Ancelotti is a manager who occupies the same stratosphere as his City counterpart – a fellow multiple Champions League winner, a veteran of some of Europe’s biggest clubs – but even he had no clearer strategy than to cede permission and hope for the best. It was not pretty but there was an appealing stubbornness about Everton as they hurtled towards 90 minutes and the interesting question of what Guardiola’s team might be like in the energy-sapping finale of extra-time. The home team had defended and chased, they … [Read more...] about Manchester City reach FA Cup semi-finals as Kevin De Bruyne inspires win over Everton
