In order to prevent a mass panic, Winston Churchill kept top secret a close encounter between a World War II pilot and an unexplained flying object, newly unclassified documents reveal.

The British prime minister said the unexplained incident should be kept secret for 50 years, fearing it would provoke a “mass panic.”
The claim was discovered in files newly unclassified by the British Ministry of Defense. It came from a scientist who said his grandfather was one of Churchill’s bodyguards.

Enter Taranis. The UK Ministry of Defence’s “combat aircraft of the future” — a state-of-the-art jet capable of deploying weapons and bringing back intelligence without human guidance — made its long-awaited debut at a ceremony Monday.

Named after the Celtic god of thunder, the Taranis comes equipped with advanced stealth technology. Unlike the current generation of propeller-driven unmanned combat air vehicles (UCAV), the Taranis would therefore be able to carry missiles into regions where the military does not have air dominance, the AFP reports.
Initially budgeted at 125 million pounds, the Taranis …

NASA has begun operating a flying telescope powerful enough to record the birth of distant stars and planets. A few weeks ago it made its first scientific flight, capturing images of Jupiter and a nearby galaxy.
The telescope, which weighs 17 tons, is built into a 747 that serves as an airborne observatory. It’s called the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA, and it’s a marvel of astronomy and aeronautics.
But just a few years ago, it looked like SOFIA would never get off the ground.

Most telescopes are fixed to …

Houston – Scientists at the United States space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have stumbled upon early stages of life on the Saturn moon Titan, which is one of the planet’s biggest moons.

A 2005 poll by the Center for Survey and Research Analysis at the University of Connecticut found that a majority of Americans believe there is alien life in our universe.
