Huff Post - Lee Speigel, 9/4/12

While America celebrated the annual end-of-summer rite known as Labor Day weekend, a team of researchers spent the time searching a lake in northern Sweden for a "Ghost Rocket," an object that allegedly crashed there on July 31, 1980.

Bo and Liz Berg, pictured below, reported seeing an elongated, cigar-shaped object with two protrusions on its sides (see main image above), turn 180 degress and perform a controlled landing in the water of Lake Nammajaure, reports TheLocal.se, Sweden's news-in-English website.

Morgan Beall knows what reaction his interest in UFOs can provoke. He’s heard it all: “So you’re one of those wack-jobs,” “I heard you chase little green men.” Most TV shows and media reports contain what he calls “the giggle factor.”

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange speaks to the media outside the High Court in London in this December 5, 2011 file photo.

Supporters who put up nearly $320,000 to bail out WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange have lost their money, the Guardian of London reported.

Assange’s backers -- who include Jemima Khan, a writer, movie directors Ken Loach and Michael Moore and publisher Felix Dennis – had to forfeit their money because Assange skipped bail in June to avoid being extradited to Sweden where he is wanted on rape charges.

Summary: A new patent, granted to Apple, could prevent academic cheating, cinema interruptions, but also see areas of political protest activity 'ring-fenced' disabling phone and tablet cameras.

Don't you just hate it when there's someone in the cinema taking photos, or talking on their phone? How unfair is it that 'they' cheated on their test because they could access the Web, and yet you only got half their marks?

Isn't it a shame you can't take a photo of the police officer beating a man in the street because your oppressive government remotely disabled your smartphone camera?

A new patent granted to Apple could do all of the above.

Think the exploits of Mulder and Scully were just the stuff of on-screen entertainment? That the Men in Black were dreamed up by Hollywood? Or, that E.T. was just a less-than-cute, very annoying special-effect? Maybe it’s time to think again. Nick Redfern reveals the startling, conspiratorial truths behind Tinsel-Town’s out of this world fiction…
 
 
1. Men in Black: They may have first caught the public’s attention and imagination back in 1997, thanks to Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, but, their non-fiction counterparts have been skulking around for far longer. Indeed, both the MIB movies and the original comic-book series were inspired by countless reports from people who claimed menacing visits from real dark-suited men after seeing a UFO. And did you ever wonder why the characters of Smith and Jones are referred to as J and K? One of those that spent years famously investigating, and writing about, the real MIB was the author of The Mothman Prophecies, John Keel: J and K.

[...]

In a separate filing, Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange also accuses the oil company of misrepresentation and argues that BP committed “willful misconduct”
