STARGAZERS have reportedly witnessed other-worldly activity here on Earth - some even claim to have been abducted. Check out the most thought-provoking reported alien encounters and abductions. Kenneth Arnold & the first flying saucer The term “flyer saucer” originated in 1947 and was the result of a reporter misquoting a pilot who believed he saw a UFO. Kenneth Arnold, the misquoted pilot, said the aircraft he claimed to see had wings. But just six weeks later, the words “flying saucer” were headlining newspapers covering the Roswell Incident, a famous alleged alien spaceship crash.

As the country faces enormous challenges, our political system has reached breaking point. The Prime Minister has lost the trust of voters and of many Conservative MPs (including me) and Parliament appears to lack the ability, or perhaps even the will, to ensure that MPs abide by codes of behaviour that are taken for granted in every other workplace. Stories of drug-taking and inappropriate behaviour in Parliament are almost commonplace, and we seem incapable of providing protection to young people who want to work in politics from unwelcome and predatory behaviour. The Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme is clearly not working. Parliament’s HR practices are outdated, providing insufficient support for staff or MPs. The Palace of Westminster is unsafe, infested by rats and mice and in desperate need of rewiring and asbestos removing. But we lack the determination to make a decision to rebuild. We have to do better. And, because in our democracy we operate under a party … [Read more...] about The Cabinet should act to solve Britain’s leadership crisis

In 1893, Henry James complained about the recent publication of Gustave Flaubert’s letters. The French novelist was famous for his stylistic perfectionism. What treachery, then, to publish his casual missives, ones that he hadn’t had time to labor over. To James’s regret, the new collection left Flaubert’s “every weakness exposed, every mystery dispelled, every secret betrayed.” James understood why the book existed. As he wrote, humans possess “an insurmountable desire to know .” When we love someone—a writer, a friend, a mistress—we want to know everything about them; when we hate someone, we want to know everything about them too. This desire applies to more than people: We start a novel and need to know how it ends; we feel a pain in our chest and head over to WebMD to determine its cause. If the desire to know is insurmountable, so too are the consequences. Many books, including ones by James himself, dramatize the dangers of knowledge. (Adam and Eve, meet apple.)

HUMANS have reportedly damaged one of the best resources for detecting intelligent alien life. Excessive use of radio waves could hinder researchers' ability to listen for aliens sending transmissions our way, reports claim. SETI is the catch-all acronym for the "search for extraterrestrial intelligence". One of the most effective ways to scan for signs of life coming from deep space is by monitoring radio waves. "Messaging by light has a fundamental advantage over radio in that it can, in principle, convey far more bits per second – typically a half-million times as many," SETI researchers wrote in an official statement . But the high demands of the globalized internet have hamstrung research. "Earth is just getting more and more polluted," SETI researcher Dan Werthimer said.

[This story originally aired on February 20.] In July 2020, Daniel Anderl, the son of federal Judge Esther Salas and attorney Mark Anderl, was shot dead by a gunman at the front door of the family's New Jersey home. Daniel Anderl, 20, took a bullet to his chest trying to protect his parents. By the time Judge Salas came to the door, the killer was gone. Her husband, Mark, was wounded. "I have direct evidence that he died heroically, that he had a holy death," says David Oakley, Daniel Anderl's godfather and a family friend. The stranger who came to Judge Salas' door had been holding a package, posing as a deliveryman.  Just eight days earlier, a chillingly similar incident took place in California. When attorney Marc Angelucci came to his door to sign for a package, he was also shot dead. "He was just a down-to-earth, at the center of his soul a good-hearted person," Marc's friend,  Cassie Jaye, tells CBS News correspondent Tracy Smith.
