Ancient and most distant planet discovered
Prospects for extraterrestrial life soared yesterday with the discovery of a "Methuselah" planet twice as old and 25 times farther away than any of the 110-plus planets so far found in our Milky Way galaxy.
The discovery means that planets were formed billions of years earlier than generally believed and under bizarre conditions previously dismissed as improbable, even impossible.
Richer and UBC colleague Ingrid Stairs are the Canadian researchers on the international team that announced the discovery in Washington, D.C., yesterday. The planet has been dubbed Methuselah, after the Biblical patriarch who supposedly lived for 969 years.
The positive identification resulted from 15 years detective work with radio telescopes and crucial photographs from the Hubble space telescope.
The extrasolar planet, two-and-a-half times the size of Jupiter, is in a super-dense cluster of stars called M4 located in the distant constellation Scorpius.
It lies in a stellar region dated at 13 billion years, only a billion years younger than the Big Bang that created the universe.
"Life could have arisen there and died out long before we came to the party," said Alan Boss, an extrasolar planet expert on the staff of the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C.
Methuselah is 5,600 light years away, compared to a couple of hundred light-years for the most distant extrasolar planet previously discovered.
Its probable age of 13 billion years is double that of any other known planet and almost three times older than Earth, which geologists pin at 4.5 billion years.
"What we think we've found is an example of the first generation of planets formed in the universe," said Steinn Sigurdsson of Pennsylvania State University, co-leader with Richer of the research team.

British Police UFO sightings
In UFO Magazine (July), Gary Heseltine, detective constable No 1877 of the British transport police, presented the results of a year's work compiling police officers' observations of unidentified flying objects.
"The last 12 months have literally flown by," recounted DC Heseltine. But his feet were firmly on the ground as he presented a database bulging with encounters of the first, second and third kind - a total of 84 incidents, spanning the period from 1950 to 2002, involving more than 200 police officers.
"Given that well over half the number of incidents were corroborated by other police officers present at the time, this dispels any notion that all of the 218 officers could have been mistaken or imagining things," said DC Heseltine. And he was keen to find more members of the flying saucer squad: "I firmly believe that this report is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg - and I appeal to all officers out there who have had such experiences, past or present, to come forward and contact me, safe in the knowledge that I will protect their identities if required to do so." The editor of UFO Magazine, Graham Birdsall, was convinced. "Witness credibility and testimony par excellence," he said.

UFO seen - Chiayi - Taiwan
Chiayi - Taiwan - 8 July 2003 - A white, oval unidentified flying object described as being the size of a basketball was sighted and videotaped by a Chiayi woman on Sunday. A "UFO specialist" did not rule out that it could have been an object from outer space. The woman, surnamed Wang, reported that her child was playing in the yard Sunday evening when she saw the object moving in a bamboo copse in front of the house. Alerted by the child's shout, Wang saw the object moving noiselessly and immediately videotaped the scene. The woman reported that the object was tinged with green around the edges. It moved up and down, right and left for nearly 20 minutes before flying rapidly southward and out of sight.

Sci Fi Channel begins production on Kecksburg special
The Sci Fi Channel has begun production of a two-hour documentary exploring the baffling 37-year-old Kecksburg UFO case. According to Larry Landsman, director of the cable channel's special projects, the prime-time special will air in October.
"The Kecksburg incident is an extremely compelling case," he said. "We have new eyewitnesses who have come forward ... firsthand witnesses whose recollection of that evening is sharp. It's making for quite an incredible documentary. Startling. It will open some eyes."
"We want to bring together the various participants of this event for the first time. Get the believers and the nonbelievers in the same room at the same time," he said. "We're still working out logistics and details, but this will be a crucial element of the documentary. It could end up to be quite explosive."
The Kecksburg documentary will be a "comprehensive look at an ongoing investigation in Washington," said Landsman, including work done by California-based investigative reporter Leslie Kean, and longtime Greensburg investigator, Stan Gordon.
In addition, the program will reveal evidence gathered during a forensic analysis of the crash site.
"We're committed to exploring the blurry lines between science fact and science fiction," Landsman said. "We've brought in geo-archaeologists from the West Virginia University, plus environmental scientists to examine the area witnesses claim a craft of unknown origin landed."

UFO debris site monument unveiled
As dawn broke on the second day of Roswell’s UFO Festival, a small band of UFO enthusiasts slipped away from the throngs of tourists to attend a monument dedication at the origin of the Roswell Incident.
On a rocky hilltop about 65 miles north of the city, 23 people stepped out of their vehicles Saturday morning and took a mental journey into the past. Attendees of the invitation-only ceremony at the Corona “debris field” found the dusty landscape fertile ground for the imagination.
Among those attending were representatives from the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, UFO investigators, a film crew from the Sci-Fi Channel and descendants of Mack Brazel, the rancher who discovered the debris which the military initially reported to the media as the wreckage of a flying saucer.
“This is where they picked up Mogul Balloon No. 4 ... or the bodies. Depending on what you believe,” said Paul Davids, executive producer of the 1994 movie “Roswell.”
Julie Shuster, UFO Museum director, said the monument is a tribute to the people who came forward to report what they saw in the fields north of the city and in Roswell more than a half century ago.
“The monument is to honor the people involved in the 1947 incident,” she said. “There were a lot of people involved ... it’s affected so many people’s lives. It’s to say that we know what you sacrificed.”
Don Schmitt, author and UFO investigator, conducted the stone monument’s unveiling. In his brief address, he recognized the Brazel family members present and offered them his sympathy for having to cope with the attacks the family has suffered over the years.
The text engraved on it’s surface reads:
“In July of the year 1947 a craft of unknown origin spread debris over this site. Witnesses would report materials of unearthly nature.
“In September of the year 2002 the Sci-Fi Channel brought scientists from the University of New Mexico to search this ground for evidence of that fateful night.
“Be it observed, that whatever the true nature of what has respectfully become known as the Roswell Incident, humankind has been forever drawn to the stars. Dedicated July 5, 2003.”

UFOs - Cachi - Argentina - 24th June 2003
Cachi - Argentina - 24th June 2003 - Three unidentified flying objects (UFOs) of great size and brilliance were seen on June 24th in the location of Cachi (Salta), 157 km southeast of the provincial capital and at an elevation of 2210 meters above sea level.
The strange bodies were videotaped by Antonio Zuleta, an indefatigable researcher of these mysteries, which are exceptionally recurrent in this part of the province, after receiving a warning from a teacher who phoned him to witness the details of the peculiar celestial airshow.
"The time was 19:30 hours when I saw it," said art instructor Maria del Valle Plaza, who teaches at the Payogasta school and in the "Victorino de la Plaza" school in this community. Married and a mother of three, she said that it was "incredible... fantastic. That's why I immediately got in touch with Mr. Zuleta so that he could videotape them. The UFOs appeared behind the western hills. The first one to emerge was enormous in size.
"It gave off lights of different colors and moved slowly, without making a sound. I was coming back from doing my job, all alone, along Route 33 between Payogasta and Cachi, from which I was no more than 3 km distant. I pulled my car over, took out my cell phone and called Zuleta, who came to my observation point and brought his equipment along," said the educator.
"I never thought I'd witness anything like it, despite having been born here," she added. "After the first UFO appeared, it was followed by another two, which also crossed the skies. They suddenly remained still. Their light was intense and shifting, but it didn't hurt the eyes. They were there as if within hands' reach. Motionless, as though they were looking at us from their interior. I was spellbound and amazed. At no time did I feel any fear. I only wanted to strain my eyes to see into the core of those objects, which suddenly, propelled by a strong and powerful force, vanished at breathtaking speed over the horizon," said María de Valle.

Secret papers tell how RAF hunted aliens
Newly released military documents show how fighter aircraft were scrambled to intercept strange shapes in Britain's skies.
The secret papers obtained from the US military give an insight into an astonishing chain of events sparked by UFO sightings over East Anglia in 1956.
After receiving numerous calls reporting bright lights darting across the sky, fighters from RAF Lakenheath spent more than seven hours trying to shoot down the objects, which were picked up on army radar screens.
The classified documents were secured under the US Freedom of Information Act by Dave Clarke, an author researching the subject.
One US Air Force intelligence report described how '12 to 15' objects were picked up on radar screens on 13 August 1956. They were tracked for more than 50 miles. One object was logged travelling at 4,000mph. 'Operators making these radar sightings are of the opinion that malfunctions of equipment did not cause these radar sightings,' the document said.
The radar logs describe white lights darting across the skies. At times, the objects travelled in formation and performed sharp turns.
One document describes how an object was tracked by radar for 26 miles, before it hovered for five minutes then flew away again.
A cable was sent from US Air Force Headquarters in Washington warning of the 'considerable interest and concern' at the sightings and demanding an immediate inquiry. The cable asked if they were linked to a similar scare reported by a British radar station on the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea a week later.
The new documents confirm their Lakenheath sightings as the most dramatic of British UFO encounters and provide proof that alien craft have 'buzzed' Britain for the past 50 years. 'I am absolutely convinced they were breaches of our airspace by some extraordinary flying machines,' said Graham Birdsall, editor of UFO magazine.
