Yesterday, it emerged that moon walker Buzz Aldrin and three other astronauts passed a lie detector test over claims they experienced extraterrestrial encounters.

/news/weird-news/694430/news-ufo-aliens-lie-detector-test-buzz-aldrin-astronauts

Aldrin, Al Worden, Edgar Mitchell and Gordon Cooper all took part in the study, which left experts "completely convinced" that signs of alien life were witnessed on board the 1969 Apollo 11 mission to the moon.

And now, footage has emerged online which seems to prove this.

UFOTODAY/GETTY

The video shows a UFO encounter on board a space shuttle mission in the same year.

The clip reveals the moment a concerned space explorer radioed through to NASA's mission control to report the sighting.

Mario Runco Jn - the man filming - relays to his colleagues that they have been observing the object for some time.

He then points out that he can see another light passing above it, admitting that it could have been a star.

But during this bizarre encounter the man is not met with much enthusiasm from the control team, who seem to try and change the subject.

The footage was captured during NASA's 77th Space Shuttle mission dubbed STS-77.

It launched in 1969 from launch pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and lasted 10 days.

It was later clipped by YouTube channel UFO Today, who believe that NASA is trying to hide something from us.

It was uploaded yesterday and has already racked up more than 650 views.

For some unknown reason, the iCal calendar for such popular Apple devices as the iPhone and iPad does not show the date for Easter this year.

It is the most important day on the Christian calendar, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ nearly 2,000 years ago. It falls on April 1 in 2018.

The reputed date of his birth was used to divide the entire calendar in half between B.C. and A.D. The demarcation came from the Latin phrase Anno Domini, meaning "in the year of the Christian era" or literally "in the year of (our) Lord."

Fox News reported while neither Easter, nor Good Friday (commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus) were deemed significant enough for the 2018 iCal, occasions that did make the list include: Groundhog Day, April Fools' Day, Cinco de Mayo, Juneteenth (a holiday celebrating abolition of slavery in Texas), Flag Day, Halloween and Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Major U.S. federal holidays are also included on the calendar such as Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Additionally, Apple does give the option to display other religions' calendars - at least Jewish and Islamic - but Christianity is not included on the iOS 11.2.5 among them.

Christianity is the largest religion in the world, with 2.3 billion adherents as of 2015, according to the Pew Research Center.

The Pew also reported just over 70 percent of Americans identify as Christians, while 2 percent are Jewish and 1 percent are Muslim.

Apple's smartphone market share in the U.S. now stands at 44 percent, which is its highest ever, according to data provided by Counterpoint Research.

Interestingly, Apple was founded on April 1, 1976, so it will be turning 42 on Easter this year.

The name of the company came from co-founder Steve Jobs, who was inspired by a visit to an apple farm.

RELATED: Texas Church Wipes Out Medical Debt for Over 4,000 Vets and Their Families

Job thought the name sounded, "fun, spirited and not intimidating."

The original logo for the company showed Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree.

However, it was changed to an apple with a bite taken out of it soon thereafter. Contrary to urban legend, designer Rob Janoff said it was not an homage to the Biblical account of the Garden of Eden's tree of knowledge.

Rather, Janoff felt the best way to make the logo look like an apple, not some other piece of fruit, was to take a bite out of it.

It is said that eating bananas more than one can be harmful. More often it is said that eating more than 6 bananas can kill.
Is this True??

Banana is most favorite fruit in the world, it contains vitamins and minerals. If this fruit is good for us, then is it possible that it can be fatal? This notion is dispersed by a famous person Carl Palington. He once said, we are talking about bananas before, if you eat more than 6 bananas you can die. 'This is reality, eating 6 bananas can increase potassium to a dangerous level . . . I saw bananas in a basket, there were six bananas, you know why there were six bananas? 7th can be dangerous for you'

To what extent potassium is dangerous for us? Catherine Collins from Senate George Hospital located in London said that Potassium is very important for us, it is present in every cell of our body. 'It stables our heart beat, it controls diabetes level, but increase or decrease in potassium level can disturb heartbeat. It can cause pain in abdomen, vomiting or diarrhea' Anyhow Collins said that for a healthy person bananas or not dangerous.

A person have to eat 400 bananas daily in order to increase potassium to fatal level. Bananas are not dangerous for health, instead, they are beneficial. According to British National Health Service a young person should consume 3500 mg Potassium. A 125 g weighted banana contains 450 mg potassium which means a younger can eat 7 and half banana a day. Kidney patients should avoid such food which contains potassium in larger scale. According to Collins, those who have Kidney problem, should avoid this much potassium consumption.

Trump sure is doing a great job of honoring veterans on Veterans Day. In an interview with reporters aboard Air Force One, he ridiculed U.S. intel leaders and sided with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

This week, the useful Warrior Canine Connection program received a shocking letter at the program's office in the Washington D.C. area. The letter instructed personnel to leave their posts immediately and shut down the program for vets.

They have since closed their offices at Fort Belvoir in Northern Virginia and on the campus of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington.

Warrior Canine Connection Executive Director Rick Yount stated:

"At two o'clock in the afternoon, I received a phone call saying there was a stop work order. There was no explanation whatsoever as to why that was the decision."

He asked, "Why would - all of the sudden - a program be halted that was serving patients?"

Yount added that he "heard absolutely nothing" about any problems with the program. His contract wasn't set to expire until 2019.

He reminded Trump officials, "There's no question that this program saves lives."

Wounded veterans don't only depend on service dogs for physical needs; the dogs also provide a therapeutic effect for PTSD symptoms.

Last week, word of an upcoming Starbucks campaign known as "Dreamer Day" began making the rounds online. The idea behind the promotion was purportedly to offer discounted or free drinks and snacks to undocumented immigrants on August 11 in order to celebrate the passion and hard work of immigrants to America. But now, Starbucks has debunked "Dreamer Day" as nothing more than a hoax plotted by hateful 4chan users.

As BuzzFeed News reports, the 4chan users planned to trick undocumented immigrants into congregating at Starbucks coffee shops all over the country on the anonymous forum, which has been previously linked to the birth of the so-called " alt-right" movement. Their plan was to spread a rumor that Starbucks was celebrating undocumented immigrants, only to call Immigrations and Customs Enforcement who would, 4chan surmised, then arrest the people who showed up. (ICE has yet to comment on the campaign.)

Other 4chan users joined in, brainstorming a name for the event and even creating fake posters advertising the fake campaign. The posters began making their way around social media, with some Twitter users only questioning their validity upon noticing that, on one poster, Frappuccino had been spelled "Frappacino."

Starbucks soon took notice of the event, tweeting at multiple users that they were not responsible or in any way connected to the campaign. "Sorry you've been misinformed. Starbucks is not sponsoring any such event," they tweeted at one user who posted about the event several times. "We're sorry you've been misinformed. This is completely false. Starbucks is not sponsoring any such event," they told another who tweeted that the coffee company was "colluding" with ICE.

Starbucks confirmed to BuzzFeed News that Dreamer Day was definitely a hoax and that they were not involved in any way. Given that Starbucks has offered several discounts and BOGO deals all summer long to promote new drinks and celebrate holidays, people who didn't know how to confirm or debunk the rumors likely believed it to be true on its face. The company has given out free iced espresso drinks for a whole week in June, and are currently offering BOGO macchiatos from 2 to 5 p.m. today in honor of International Friendship Day on Sunday, August 6.

In a scene straight out of your nightmares, a truck full of "slime eels" lost its load Thursday on U.S. 101, causing a five-car crash, dousing sedans with goo and sending sea creatures slithering across vehicles and the highway.

Technically, the fish were not eels, but hagfish, which have a skull but no jaw or spine and they secrete slime when distressed, earning them the nickname "slime eels."

And distressed they were, emitting gooey stuff that will make you shiver in your sandals - and that covered 101 along with the 7,500 pounds of fish.

The Oregon State Police tweeted photos of extensively damaged, slimy sedans. It was a decidedly disgusting scene best avoided by travelers.

Thanks @OregonDOT pic.twitter.com/SmwHtWLeQ3
- Depoe Bay Fire Dist. (@DepoeBayFire) July 13, 2017

The fish were loaded in the back of a truck driven by Salvatore Tragale for transport to Korea, where they are a delicacy. Tragale was driving northbound on 101 when he came upon road construction that had stopped traffic, police say.

But Tragale couldn't stop his truck in time, and containers of hagfish flew. They sailed into the southbound lane, starting a chain reaction of collision.

The crates first struck a 2017 Nissan driven by Kim Randall, a 64-year-old from Arizona. The impact pushed the Nissan back into a Honda CRV, driven by Rachel Craven of Toledo. Craven's car then collided into a white Ford Focus driven by two women, Kristine Torp and Melissa Waage, from Norway. The Focus struck a 2017 Ford F150 containing Kevin, Donna and Brandon White from Tigard.

Randall sustained minor injuries in the crash. No one else was injured. Unless, of course, you count the fish. Hagfish cannot survive outside of salt water. They died on the highway.

The highway was down to one lane for several hours as the Oregon Department of Transportation and the Depoe Bay Fire District hosed fish and slime off the road. The highway reopened about 4 p.m.

Authorities continued working late afternoon to clean the dead hagfish from the side of the road, a state police spokeswoman said.

Charges are pending for Tragale, the truck driver, the spokeswoman said.

Hagfish are caught along the West Coast, including Oregon, and shipped to Korea, where they are a delicacy.

They have unique qualities. The slime -- a type of mucus - from a hagfish can expand to more than five gallons when combined with water. Sorry, ODOT.

Also, according to smithsonianmag.com, to prevent choking on its own slime, a hagfish can "sneeze" out its slime-filled nostril, and tie its body into a knot to keep the slime from dripping onto its face.

And, just to enhance the nightmare, this last fact from smithsonianmag.com: The eel-shaped creatures use four pairs of thin sensory tentacles surrounding their mouths to find food-including carcasses of much larger animals. Once they find their meal, they bury into it face-first to bore a tunnel deep into its flesh.

A news story has been circulating over the last few weeks that the social media site and app will close on November 14th.

Everyday calm down - despite what you may have read, Snapchat will not be shutting down next week!

Earlier this month a news article from website Channel45news.com went viral, spreading the story that Snapchat's demise was imminent, even including a statement from the company's CEO:
"The CEO Evan Spiegel of the very popular app Snapchat has released that Snapchat will be removed from all app stores by November 14, 2017. According to Fox News Media Evan has decided to make this decision due to copyright and legal issues with Facebook, Instagram, and Musical.ly. By the date November 14, 2017 all Snapchat apps with be removed from all devices and all app stores. DISCLAIMER all data and media associated with the app will also be deleted within the app."
The heavy spread of the piece on Facebook, combined with the recent Snapchat outage that left many users unable to access the app, has fueled the rumours that it is about to come crashing down:

Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke of Ishpeming, Michigan, emptied out her piggy bank onto the living room floor and immediately started "counting."

Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up stacks of nickels, pennies and dimes - but then she saw the girl stuff the coins and crinkled bills into a plastic bag and place it in the front pouch of her backpack.

"That piqued my curiosity," Oelfke told CBS News. "Nobody messes with the piggy bank."

After observing Sunshine at work a few minutes longer, Oelfke decided she needed to find out why the little girl decided to break into her savings.

"What are you doing with that money?" Oelfke asked her granddaughter.

"I'm taking it to school," Sunshine replied.

The little girl finally spilled the real reason why she needed the money.

"I'm going to take it for milk money. I'm taking it for my friend Layla," she explained. "She doesn't get milk - her mom doesn't have milk money and I do."

Oelfke's heart sank and melted at the same time.

The 5-year-old was raised in a non-traditional household, Oelfke explained. Her mom is a drug addict and has been in and out of prison.

"She's going to have enough issues growing up with this," Oelfke said. "I've never told her she can't do something, and I didn't want to start now."

Last week, Oelfke and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, at Birchview Elementary School and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved.

There are 20 kids in Sunshine's class and about half don't get milk. It costs $0.45 a carton. The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day during snack time.

"Milk is important in our family, so it's very important for Sunshine's friends to have milk with her," Oelfke said.

After dropping Sunshine off at school, Oelfke posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter's mission. The video was viewed more than 1,500 times.

To her surprise, dozens of people offered to donate toward the cause. Oelfke started a GoFundMe page, hoping to raise $700 to cover the cost of milk for the entire semester.

Within a week, Oelfke raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine's class will have the option to get free milk for the rest of the year.

"Guess what! My whole class got milk today," Sunshine proudly told her grandma on Thursday. "Layla now has milk money."

Oelfke said Sunshine doesn't see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends.

"She doesn't understand the impact she's made," Oelfke said. "But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to."

Once inside the office, Mr. Lynch, a 21-year-old junior studying biosystems engineering, opened the door for another student, Troy Kiphuth, a 21-year-old sophomore studying agricultural economics. It's not clear how long the two were in the office before Mr. Cain returned from his late-night meal and found that something was blocking the door when he tried to open it.

When Mr. Cain yelled out that he was going to call the police, the students burst from the office and ran down the hall, Mr. Blanton said.

Not long after the police arrived, Mr. Lynch, concerned that Mr. Cain would be able to identify him from his class, returned to the building and confessed, Mr. Blanton said.

Mr. Lynch and Mr. Kiphuth, who was not in Mr. Cain's class, were each charged with felony burglary. They could not be reached to comment on Thursday. They are scheduled to be arraigned on June 26.

Mr. Lynch told the police that he had entered the office around 6 p.m. on Tuesday but did not find the exam. He also told the authorities he had stolen another exam from Mr. Cain's office earlier in the semester but did not share the answers with other students, Mr. Blanton said. In both cases, he gained access through the duct.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reported on the episode on Thursday. Efforts to reach Mr. Cain were unsuccessful.

No action had been taken against the students as of Thursday, though the university's Office of Student Conduct will investigate. Mr. Blanton would not discuss potential consequences.

"Cheating and theft of this kind is very serious in an academic institution," he said, adding that episodes like this were rare at the university's College of Arts and Sciences, which has 10,000 students.

"It's an unusual set of circumstances," he said. "It also underscores how late our faculty work."

Voting is important, but what if you don't like any of your choices? Many American people weren't shy to hate on the two major candidates in the election: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. And let's face it - not many people wanted to vote for Jill Stein, Evan McMullin or Gary Johnson either. So what's the solution? Who do you vote for?

Harambe, apparently. If you don't know who Harambe is, you probably aren't into memes or aren't friends with 14-year-old boys on Facebook. This will probably ring a bell: he was the gorilla that was tragically killed this year at Cincinnati Zoo. After a little boy the age of three climbed into the gorilla enclosure, the zoo decided to shoot the animal in fear of the boy's life.

This stirred a lot of controversy online. Since this happened back in May, you would have thought that the topic had cooled down. Not the case. The internet is absolutely obsessed with Harambe's death. Because many believed the controversy was "blown out of proportion", they took to the internet to ironically over-react themselves.

"D*cks out for Harambe" is just one example. Hundreds of memes flooded social media. But the gorilla's popularity still hasn't gone away. This was proved when over 15,000 voted for him in yesterday's election. Voters even tweeted pictures of their ballots. Check them out on the next page, as well as the angry reaction other Twitter users had.

Columbus, Ohio | An 83-year old woman was arrested this morning and accused of training dozens of cats to steal jewelry and other valuables from her neighbors.

The Columbus Police Department opened an investigation on Ruth Gregson and her 65 cats in October after several neighbors reported small objects being stolen from their homes.

Several victims reported being visited by Ms. Gregson's cats before noticing the disappearance of several shiny objects, like valuable cutlery and pieces of jewelry.

Despite their skepticism, investigators began a surveillance operation and were amazed by what they discovered.

According to Columbus Police Chief Kim Jacobs, dozens of cats were constantly coming and going, bringing home "anything that shined".

"She was like Fagin in Oliver Twist, but she was using cats as thieves instead of children. In less than three hours of surveillance, the detectives saw the cats bring home more than a hundred objects."

Upon searching Ms. Gregson's house, investigators found $650,000 worth of jewelry and precious metal among piles of worthless shiny baubles.

A total of 65 adult cats and 17 kittens were found on the site and entrusted to the Columbus Humane Society.

Chief Jacobs says the elderly woman confessed to training her cats to steal, saying the felines had to "earn their meals".

"She would only feed the animals if they brought home valuables, so the animals had to steal every day in order to survive. Most were voluntarily malnurished so they would easily gain the neighbors' pity and be allowed inside their houses."

According to the Columbus Police, Ms. Gregson's animals could have stolen from more than 5,000 houses and apartment in the area, and investigators invite possible victims to contact them.

While Ms. Gregson is the first person in American history to be accused of training cats to steal, this isn't the first time that animals are trained to commit crimes.

In 2009, a surveillance that caught a monkey stealing hundreds of dollars worth of plants from a Texas nursery.

At the time, the police and store owners had hypothesized that the monkey had been trained to take the plants and hand them over a fence to a waiting human accomplice.

In 2013, a Chicago court sentenced a man to five years in prison for training ferrets to steal cell phones from people on the street and on public buses.

An airline passenger who tried to carry a "crude but viable" nail bomb onto a Ryanair plane was released and allowed to catch a later flight because security staff did not realise the device was dangerous, a court heard yesterday.

Nadeem Muhammad, 43, was stopped after airport scanners detected the makeshift device as he tried to board a plane from Manchester international airport to Bergamo near Milan in January this year.

But swabs of the device failed to detect any explosives and Muhammad was released after questioning and allowed to return to his home in Bury, Greater Manchester.

Five days later he was allowed to board another Ryanair flight to Italy and was only arrested on his return after new forensic tests showed the device was explosive, Manchester Crown Court was told.
