President Donald Trump is claiming that a video the White House released depicting contact between a White House staffer and a CNN reporter wasn't altered.

Trump tells reporters that the video distributed by White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was simply a "close up" and "was not doctored."

But a frame-by-frame comparison with an Associated Press video of the same incident shows the one tweeted by Sanders appears to speed up CNN reporter Jim Acosta's arm movement when he makes contact with a White House intern - apparently to make the gesture more threatening.

Trump's also defending the seizure of Acosta's White House press credential and the president is suggesting that more reporters could lose theirs.

Trump claims reporters aren't "treating the office of the president with respect."

310-million-year-old lizard footprints found in the Grand Canyon, oldest ever discovered

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
310-million-year old footprints of a "lizard like-creature" have been unearthed in the Grand Canyon, making them potentially the oldest ever reptile footprints ever found.

It's unclear what creature left the set of 28 footprints behind, but it has been described as "a reptile-like creature" and were found by UNLV geology professor Stephen Rowland.

"It's the oldest trackway ever discovered in the Grand Canyon in an interval of rocks that nobody thought would have trackways in it, and they're among the earliest reptile tracks on earth," said Rowland, in a statement.
85-MILLION-YEAR-OLD SEA MONSTER FOUND IN KANSAS
Rowland added that the tracks were created as the supercontinent Pangaea was beginning to form, noting "In terms of reptile tracks, this is really old."

The geologist, who was first alerted of the tracks by a colleague in 2016, initially believed they were from "two animals walking side-by-side" because of the sideways motion, but that did not make any sense. So he went home, researched and made drawings of his finding of the "peculiar, line-dancing gait" left behind by the animal.

"One reason I've proposed is that the animal was walking in a very strong wind, and the wind was blowing it sideways," Rowland said in the statement.

It's also possible that the slope was too steep and the animal sidestepped; other theories that have been thrown out are a fight with another animal or a mating ritual.

"I don't know if we'll be able to rigorously choose between those possibilities," he said.
40,000-YEAR-OLD ANIMAL DRAWING DISCOVERED IN REMOTE BORNEO CAVE
Rowland and San Diego State University geologist Mario Caputo will publish the findings in January.

"It absolutely could be that whoever was the trackmaker, his or her bones have never been recorded," Rowland said.

At a country dance hall in California, a gunman went inside and started to shoot. This man killed 12 people but he used to be a Marine. People are questioning what the cause of his violence was.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After a Marine Corps veteran stormed into a country music dance hall in California and killed 12 people, investigators said there is no clear motive behind the attack.

Authorities say Ian Long, 28, fired a Glock .45-caliber handgun without a word as patrons line-danced at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks late Wednesday night. He first shot a security guard and a woman working at the counter, but authorities say there was no indication he was targeting employees.

Hours after Long was found dead, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police searched for clues at the home where he lived with his mother. As investigators dig for answers, loved ones and strangers mourn the victims - including some now known as heroes.

Latest developments

*From young Marine to a gunman. Long served in the Marines for nearly five years as a military machine gunner and was deployed to Afghanistan, Defense Department records show.

*A mental health expert declined to commit gunman. Police were called to Long's home in April for reports of a disturbance and a crisis team felt he might be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, but they ultimately cleared him.

*Long's mother "lived in fear" of what her son might do, a neighbor says. She was concerned about Long, the neighbor said, but she was not worried about her own safety.

*Hundreds of people gathered to mourn the victims. "Tonight we are a hurting city but we are a community of love, of compassion and of unity," Thousand Oaks Mayor Andy Fox said at a vigil Thursday night. "We are also a community of hope."

*Authorities have not named all of the victims, but CNN has independently identified some of them.

The shooter

Long's friends say he was a frequent visitor at the bar for years and that he liked going there.

"I would make fun of him, because he would drag me there. Sometimes we'd go there to have a drink, sit and talk, listen to music," said a woman who's been friends with Long for five years and does not want her name made public.

Authorities have identified a Facebook post believed to have been made by the shooter around the time of the attack, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the ongoing investigation.

In it, the writer says: "I hope people call me insane... (laughing emojis).. wouldn't that just be a big ball of irony? Yeah.. I'm insane, but the only thing you people do after these shootings is 'hopes and prayers'.. or 'keep you in my thoughts'... every time... and wonder why these keep happening..."

When CNN read the post to a friend of Long's, who did not want to be publicly identified, the friend said, "That does not sound like Ian to me at all. I don't know what was going through his head when he wrote this. It must have been terrible."

Long's activities in the days before the shooting remain unknown. He was a corporal in the Marines from August 2008 to March 2013, according to Defense Department records. He went to Afghanistan from November 2010 to June 2011.

Curtis Kellogg, a friend who served with Long, said the last time he spoke with Long he was headed to Southern California.

"He was excited to get out so he could go back home, ride his motorcycle again and finish school," Kellogg said.

Long, whose Marines unit was based in Hawaii, was married in 2009 in Honolulu. The couple separated in 2011 and dissolved the marriage in April 2013 in Ventura County, California. He and his then-wife said they had no children and owned no property.

After leaving the Marines in 2013, Long went to college in California but did not complete his degree.

He was a student at California State University, Northridge, majoring in athletic training from 2013 to 2016, but he did not graduate, university representative Carmen Ramos Chandler said.

The victims

Ventura County Sheriff's Sgt. Ron Helus, 54, was among the first officers to arrive at Borderline. He was shot several times as he tried to stop the gunman.

Helus, who loved fishing with his son, was hoping to retire in the next year or two after 29 years on the force.

Cody Gifford-Coffman, 22, lost his life shielding others, his friend Sarah DeSon said.

When the gunfire broke out, Coffman, DeSon and another friend dropped to the ground. After an apparent smoke bomb went off, Coffman stood up and told his two friends to flee.

"When he said leave and when he got up, I left," DeSon said. "I saw one opening, and I ran for it. And unfortunately, he wasn't behind me. ... He made sure people were safe, and now we all have a beautiful guardian angel watching over us."

Several victims had connections to the military.

Coffman was in the process of talking with Army recruiters.

Telemachus Orfanos, 27, was a Navy veteran who survived the Las Vegas massacre last year. After he was killed in this week's California massacre, his mother demanded actions, not words.

"I don't want prayers. I don't want thoughts. I want gun control," Susan Orfanos said. "I hope to God nobody else sends me any more prayers. I want gun control."

Dan Manrique, 33, was a Marine Corps veteran.

Justin Meek, 23, recently graduated from California Lutheran University and was planning to join the US Coast Guard. He was looking forward to cooking for everyone at the school's Veterans Day Celebration on Monday, Cal Lutheran's veterans coordinator Jenn Zimmerman said.

He had returned to the school to support the Country Line Dance Club with Borderline.

"He loved running college night and always seemed to draw a crowd," Zimmerman said.

Pepperdine student Alaina Housley, 18, was "an incredible young woman with so much life ahead of her," her aunt and uncle said.

Noel Sparks, 21, was a gifted dancer and artist, a friend says.

Sean Adler, 48, was a bouncer at the dance hall and a former wrestling coach, his team confirmed.

Four other young victims - Blake Dingman, 21; Jacob Dunham, 21; Mark Meza, 20; and Kristina Morisette, 20 - were also killed, the Ventura County Medical Examiner said.

Georgia woman shot at parents because her dad wouldn't turn off the college football game.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Georgia woman chased her parents out of their home at gunpoint and fired several shots at the couple as they fled -- all because the woman's dad wouldn't let her switch off a University of Georgia football game, cops said.

Tambria Chaprii Palmer, 28, was arrested Saturday after allegedly shooting at her parents at their Baldwin County home -- because her father wouldn't change the channel from the college football game, the Macon Telegraph reported.

"I think it's a culmination of things, but the last part of it was dad was going to watch the ballgame and she wanted to watch something else," Baldwin County sheriff's Capt. Brad King said.

The argument started when Palmer grabbed the remote and changed the channel from the Georgia game while her father, Darrell Palmer, was watching, according to the Telegraph, which cited a police report.

Things escalated when Darrell Palmer turned the television off completely. His daughter attempted to turn the TV back on, but Darrell blocked her from doing so.

According to the incident report, Darrell told police his daughter "began cussing at him and attempted to hit him in the face." He said he grabbed Tambria and put her on the couch -- but she wouldn't stop "cussing."

She eventually got up, went to the bedroom and told the family "she was going to send everyone in this house to hell," family members told police.

That's when officials say Tambria loaded a handgun and fired a shot at her father. Darrell scrambled to get out of the house, according to the Macon Telegraph, and soon, so did Tambria's mom, Le'Trice Palmer. Le'Trice was holding her newborn granddaughter -- Tambria's child -- when the shooting began.

Tambria Palmer chased her mother outside and fired multiple rounds at her, police said. As responding officers arrived, Palmer allegedly threw the gun into the bushes. Police said she "shot every round in the magazine."

Tambria Palmer's three other children were found in a back bedroom inside the home, according to the newspaper.

She was arrested and charged with six counts of aggravated assault, four counts of cruelty to children and one count of reckless conduct.

Michelle Obama opens up about her miscarriage, going through IVF on ABC News prime-time special for new memoir 'Becoming'

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Former first lady Michelle Obama said she felt "lost and alone" after suffering a miscarriage about 20 years ago, during an exclusive interview with " Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts.

Add Michelle Obama as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Michelle Obama news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

"I felt like I failed because I didn't know how common miscarriages were because we don't talk about them," Obama said. "We sit in our own pain, thinking that somehow we're broken."

I think it's important to talk to young mothers about the fact that miscarriages happen.

She added, "That's one of the reasons why I think it's important to talk to young mothers about the fact that miscarriages happen."

Roberts' candid conversation with Obama about her journey to motherhood and more from her memoir, "Becoming," will air during a prime-time ABC News special, "Becoming Michelle: A First Lady's Journey with Robin Roberts," on Sunday, Nov. 11, at 9 p.m. ET.

From miscarriage to motherhood

Obama, who worked as a lawyer and hospital administrator before becoming first lady, told Roberts that it hit her at ages 34 and 35 that "the biological clock is real" and "egg production is limited."

She revealed to Roberts that she underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in order to conceive her two daughters.

"I realized that as I was 34 and 35," said Obama, now the mother of 17-year-old Sasha and 20-year-old Malia. "We had to do IVF."

The former first lady, known for her advocacy for women and girls around the world, decided to get candid about her miscarriage and her journey to motherhood in "Becoming" to help other women.

"I think it's the worst thing that we do to each other as women, not share the truth about our bodies and how they work," Obama told Roberts.

I know too many young couples who struggle and think that somehow there's something wrong with them.

The book, a raw and revealing account of her life, goes where few first lady's autobiographies have gone.

She divulges deeply personal moments and insights that shaped her life -- from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her college years at Princeton, to her deep love affair with her husband, whom she met while she was his adviser at the law firm Sidley Austin LLP. Despite an immediate attraction, she insisted they should just be friends -- but all that changed one summer night when he kissed her.

"As soon as I allowed myself to feel anything for Barack," she writes, "the feelings came rushing -- a toppling blast of lust, gratitude, fulfillment, wonder."

Yet she is also candid about the bleaker periods of her marriage, revealing for the first time that the couple sought counseling when their relationship was under stress.

"Marriage counseling for us was one of those ways where we learned how to talk out our differences," she told Roberts. "I know too many young couples who struggle and think that somehow there's something wrong with them. And I want them to know that Michelle and Barack Obama, who have a phenomenal marriage and who love each other, we work on our marriage. And we get help with our marriage when we need it."

"This was my pivot point," she writes. "My moment of self-arrest."

On Donald Trump: 'I'd never forgive him'

Once Barack announced his run for president in 2007, she threw herself into what would be a bruising campaign. She knew it would be hard, but she wasn't prepared for critics who attacked her for being unpatriotic and called her an "angry black woman."

"I was female, black and strong, which to certain people ... translated only to 'angry.' It was another damaging cliché, one that's been forever used to sweep minority women to the perimeter of every room. ... I was now starting to actually feel a bit angry, which then made me feel worse, as if I were fulfilling some prophecy laid out for me by the haters."

But what stung the most, she says, was the continuous, false allegations that her husband was a secret Muslim, born overseas.

She writes in the memoir about how Donald Trump and other so-called birthers in 2011 began to openly question whether her husband was an American citizen, describing their actions as "crazy and mean-spirited ... its underlying bigotry and xenophobia hardly concealed. But it was also dangerous, deliberately meant to stir up the wingnuts and kooks."

"What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family's safety at risk. And for this, I'd never forgive him."

She recalls her reaction when she heard Trump's "Access Hollywood" video where he brags about assaulting women, saying her "body buzzed with fury after hearing that tape."

She described how Trump seemed to "stalk" Hillary Clinton during an election debate, "trying to diminish her presence with his" and sending the message, "I can hurt you and get away with it."

And when Trump was elected president, she says she was surprised that so many women would choose a "misogynist" over "an exceptionally qualified female candidate."

A new beginning

Obama says she is just beginning to process all that happened since her husband first began to talk about running for president a dozen years ago. Today, as she looks ahead to a new beginning, one thing seems clear: It's unlikely that she will ever run for office.

"If I'd learned anything from the ugliness of the campaign, from the myriad of ways people had sought to write me off as angry or unbecoming, it was that public judgment sweeps in to fill any void. ... I knew that I would never allow myself to get that banged up again."

"I've never been a fan of politics, and my experience over the last 10 years has done little to change that. I continue to be put off by the nastiness."

Tune into the prime-time ABC exclusive special "Becoming Michelle: A First Lady's Journey with Robin Roberts," on Sunday, Nov. 11, at 9 p.m. ET.

The veteran that killed the 12 people in the Thousand Oaks bar shooting may have been texting or posting on social media before and during the shooting.

FBI officials swarmed the California home of Thousand Oaks shooting suspect Ian David Long on Thursday in a desperate search for motive behind his alleged shooting rampage that left 12 people dead.

Add Thousand Oaks Shooting as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Thousand Oaks Shooting news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

Long, a former U.S. Marine, showed signs of post traumatic stress disorder, authorities said, but there's little information available yet on what prompted the attack late Wednesday at Borderline Bar and Grill. Long was found dead inside the bar; authorities believe he shot himself.

"He was somewhat irate. Acting a little irrationally," Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean said at a press conference. "They felt he might be suffering from PTSD, the fact he was a veteran."

Long, 28, lived with his mother, neighbors told police, describing the suspect as a troubled man who battled fits of rage.

"I think I do recall some times when he was struggling with some issues internally," said Todd Stratton, a friend of Long's. "I didn't know [about] PTSD, but his girlfriend would kind of ask him about things going on with him, because he'd get really upset sometimes and kind of shut down and he wouldn't want to talk about it to people. He'd just kind of close himself up, and I think he had a really hard time reaching out for help because of his personality."

One neighbor told ABC News she called the police on Long once after he allegedly got into a fight with his mother. Another neighbor said Long rarely left home and that his mother told her that he was getting violent.

Dean said Long had several previous run-ins with police, including an incident in April where deputies were called to his home in Newbury Park because he was reportedly behaving erratically.

"They went to the house, they talked to him. He was somewhat irate, acting a little irrationally," Dean said. "They called out our crisis intervention team, our mental health specialist, who met with him, talked to him and cleared him."

"It's difficult, because I've been doing this for 41 years, and you don't leave things unfinished," Dean, who'd been considering retirement, told ABC News' David Muir.

Dean was a close friend of one of the shooting victims, Sgt. Ron Helus, who died in the line of duty.

"I think we try to look at the core and try to understand what happened and see if there's a way that we can stop it. We all try to make sense of the senseless."

Authorities said hundreds were inside when the suspect walked in to the country-western bar with a gun and opened fire. The weapon was equipped with a an extended-ammunition magazine, allowing it to hold more than the normal 10 bullets, so it's unclear how many total rounds he may have had, police said.

Zach Frye and Tyler Odenkirk told ABC News that two of their friends who worked as security guards at Borderline were among the dead. A Borderline bouncer said they were surely among the heroes.

"I know they did everything they could in their final moments," the unnamed bouncer said. "We were told one of them went out a hero. He went out fighting the shooter."

As the caravan, numbering roughly 6,000, is getting closer to  America. President Trump

has tightened the asylum rules.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A major shot across the bow from President Trump on Thursday may give migrants in the Central American caravan second thoughts about entering the U.S.

The caravan, numbering roughly 6,000, spent one more night in Mexico City before continuing north to Queretaro.

However, in a statement issued jointly by the DHS and DOJ, the administration said migrants will not be allowed to enter the U.S. illegally to file asylum claims, which is how the vast majority of roughly 150,000 Central American families and children entered the U.S. last fiscal year.

Instead, they will be required to enter through official ports of entry, like those near San Diego, Yuma and El Paso. By issuing the new directive, the President is creating a bottleneck by funneling tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to already overcrowded ports.
MIGRANT CARAVAN GETS WITHIN REACH OF BORDER: WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
With long lines, and long wait times adding up to several months, most migrants will have no choice but to turn around or pursue jobs in Mexico. Others, impatient, will try to cross illegally. If caught, they will lose the right to apply for legal entry for 3 to 10 years.

"Our asylum system is overwhelmed with too many meritless asylum claims from aliens who place a tremendous burden on our resources, preventing us from being able to expeditiously grant asylum to those who truly deserve it," said Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker in a joint statement.

The administration calls the claims 'meritless' since roughly 80 percent are ultimately rejected by an immigration judge. However, because of various court rulings and weak standards of proof, most asylum seekers pass their initial screening interview, providing them permission to live and work in the US until a final ruling. By then, usually about two years, many disappear.
LAWYERS FOR MIGRANT CARAVAN MEMBERS GIVE THEM STARK ADVICE: 'IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT'
The new rule will face legal challenges, but the outcome is not certain, leaving the exodus of Central Americans now in Mexico with a quick decision.

There are 6,000 migrants here in Mexico City and another 4,000 headed north in three additional caravans, according to the International Organization for Migration.

Do they spent another four weeks walking north, praying their odds will improve, or accept offers to stay in Mexico for up to a year, with a legal residency and the right to pursue a job.

Jorge Gomez, 14, is traveling with his 47-year-old father Amilca. Both are from Guatemala.

"We do want to apply for asylum, and we want to leave because there's too much violence in our country," Amilca said last week after 10 days on the road and 300 miles north of the Guatemala border.
SURVIVING THE MIGRANT CARAVAN: FRIENDS WATCH EACH OTHER'S BACKS AND RIDE THEIR LUCK AS THEY MAKE PERILOUS JOURNEY TO US

But after spending two hours with attorneys Wednesday in Mexico City, the family is reconsidering their asylum claim which is based on extortion threats from a local gang.

"They threatened us to give them money or they would kill (Amilca) and all of us," Jorge said. "He started to pay the money and then they asked for a higher amount - he refused. Then they put a gun to his head that they kill him and his family."

Jorge said the attorney told them the Trump administration doesn't consider gang violence grounds of an asylum claim. "She said because of our case, what happened, it is going to be difficult. all we been through is not accepted anymore in the US."

Others don't have a choice. William Blanco will have to cross illegally. He has four children living in Ohio but he's been deported four times, once for domestic violence and once for driving without a license. the other two involved re-entry after deportation. He spent 14 months in jail on the last charge.

When asked why he was going back, even when he's been deported four times, Blanco replied: "For my kid, for my little girl, every little girl needs a daddy."

Alaska man fakes death to avoid prison time

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A commercial fisherman who faked his death to avoid incarceration for a sexual assault has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison.

Federal prosecutors say the Coast Guard spent $384,261 searching for 35-year-old Ryan Meganack after his girlfriend, who was part of the scheme, reported him missing off Port Graham.

Meganack in 2016 faced state charges of sexually assaulting an incapacitated woman.

Investigators determined he swamped his skiff, returned to Port Graham on another boat and hid out near his mother's home. He planned to flee Alaska when the search ended.

The plan went awry when Meganack's girlfriend confessed to his grieving parents that Meganack was not dead.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason ordered Meganack to serve 15 months in prison consecutive to his 15-year state sentence.

32 year-old husband jumped in front of his wife to save her life from a gun shot

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
AURORA, Colo. - A man fatally shot in Aurora on Oct. 31 has been identified as a 32-year-old man who saved his wife's life, according to a family obituary.

The Adams County Coroner's Office identified Jacob Clymer of Evergreen on Thursday.

According to Clymer's obituary, he made the "ultimate sacrifice" by placing himself in front of his wife, Miranda.

He leaves behind his wife, two daughters and a son. The family said he enjoyed "spending quality time hanging out and goofing around with loved ones."

A 15-year-old boy was arrested in Clymer's death later that day.

Aurora police said the suspect is charged with first-degree murder after deliberation, first-degree felony murder, one count of attempted aggravated robbery and one count of menacing.

The Aurora Police Department said the shooting happened around 11:15 a.m. that day near the intersection of East Montview Boulevard and Billings Street, which is just off of Interstate 225.

The call was reported by an Adams County Sheriff's deputy who was in the area on an unrelated investigation. When officers arrived, they found an adult man suffering from a gunshot wound near his parked vehicle.

The man was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died.

The suspect's identity will not be released because he is a juvenile.

There's even a clip of a UFO supposedly attacking a Taliban compound, as well as "sightings" in Peckham and Warminster.

Most of the videos have been debunked by experts. In the M5 clip, for example, the motorway lorries look like models.

While the Peckham UFOs were "almost certainly Chinese lanterns", former Ministry of Defence UFO investigator Nick Pope told the Sun Online.

He added that "true believers wouldn't be dissuaded" by evidence the videos are fake.

Meanwhile, popstar Peter Andre claims to have seen "several UFOs" on a family trip to the Nevada desert.

The desert is also the site of America's famous Area 51 - a highly classified military base at the center of alien conspiracy theories due to scores of UFO sightings in the area.

Artist Dave Huggins believes he lost his virginity to a busty alien called Crescent - and has fathered 60 'hybrid' babies.

Some people even believe this picture of Jesus' crucifixion - which hangs on the walls of the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Georgia - is proof that aliens visited Earth thousands of years ago.

In July 2017, new research was published that suggested "free-floating" earth sized plants could exist and that some of them may even be able to harbor life.

And at the end of August, alien hunters from the Breakthrough Listen project detected "fast radio bursts" coming from a mysterious cluster of stars - which may have been produced by "extraterrestrial civilizations".

In October 2017, an Australian woman took a picture of what she believed was a "flying saucer" hovering over the Great Barrier Reef.

Far North Queensland is considered a UFO hotspot, with several sightings of mystery aircraft in the sky over several decades.

A UFO shaped like a tic-tac stalked a US Aircraft carrier for days before vanishing into thin air, according to a Pentagon report which emerged in May, 2018.

The object - which could reportedly hover in mid-air and make itself invisible - bamboozled US Navy fighter pilots during a training exercise in the Pacific Ocean in November, 2004.

In July 2018 a secret dossier revealed that British spies spent at least 50 years hunting UFOs in the hope of stealing alien technology.
What is the Roswell UFO incident?
The Roswell UFO incident is a world-renowned conspiracy theory about the existence of aliens.

In the summer of 1947, a farmer discovered unidentifiable debris in his sheep fields just outside Roswell, New Mexico.

A local Air Force base claimed the debris came from a crashed hot air balloon, but many people reckon it's really the remains of a flying saucer.

The debate rumbles on, with people continuing to make claims about "leaked US government documents," which supposedly prove it was a cover-up.

In October 2017 a video emerged that was alleged to be of the " body of an alien carried away on a stretcher after the Roswell UFO crash".

Another Roswell sighting was on February 24, 2018.

Two passenger jet pilots reported spotting an "object" shoot above them at 40,000ft - just 500 miles from the so-called Roswell UFO crash.
What happened at Rendlesham Forest?
Dubbed the "British Roswell", a similar incident happened in Rendlesham Forest in 1980.

On December 26, military personnel from RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge, in Suffolk, saw strange lights in a nearby forest - and three of them were sent out to investigate.

Two of them encountered a small, triangular shaped craft - which they later drew images of.

One man, Jim Penniston, got close enough to touch the side of the object.

Two nights later, Deputy Base Commander Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt and his team also encountered the UFO - and were left baffled by the entire experience.

In January 2018, unseen footage revealed former base commander Charles Halt made explosive claims that airmen involved in the case " may have been abducted by aliens."
Are there any other alien conspiracy theories?
Marilyn Monroe's death remains shrouded in mystery, and a new conspiracy theory claims the actress was murdered by the US government after threatening to reveal top-secret information about aliens.

The bonkers theory was revealed in UFO documentary Unacknowledged.

It is claimed that Marilyn made the threats after having affairs with both President JFK and Bobby Kennedy, and was seeking revenge as they both simultaneously ended things with her.

In September 2017, we also reported on the brother and sister alien hunters who discovered a "UFO highway" across America.

Chuck Zukowski and Debbie Ziegelmeyer have spent years traveling across the US investigating hundreds of UFO sightings and other paranormal occurrences.

The pair believe that the 37th latitude line is a kind of UFO or paranormal "highway" along which extraterrestrial craft enter and exit the earth.

Their theory is now the subject of a book called the 37th Parallel, written by Ben Mezrich.

Chuck told Sun Online: "Back in 2006 I was looking at my cattle mutilation investigations - there were huge similarities between them all - most of them were laying on their right side, they're laying east to west and then I noticed that lots of them were on the 37 degree latitude.

"I called my sister at midnight and I said, 'Didn't you have cattle mutilations on the 37 degree latitude in Missouri?'

"And she said, 'Yes' and we started looking more into it. We soon realized it wasn't just cattle mutilations - there were all kind of events.

"We're up until 2.30 in the morning going through all these cases and started seeing these amazing patterns."

The 37th latitude line runs from California through Nevada, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and across to Virginia.

Meanwhile it has also emerged Paul O'Grady is too terrified to go to sleep just in case he wakes up surrounded by aliens.

The 62-year-old presenter even fears he is being watched by extra-terrestrial beings from outer space after first realizing it when listening to an interview with 80s pop singer Kim Wilde.
What has Buzz Aldrin said about aliens and UFOs?
In April 2018, it was reported that Buzz Aldrin, along with three other astronauts, had passed lie detector tests over claims they had experienced alien encounters.

Allegedly, Aldrin, Al Worden, Edgar Mitchell and Gordon Cooper all took part in the study which took place at the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology in Albany, Ohio, the Daily Star reported.

Aldrin, now 88, claimed he saw a spaceship on his way to the moon, adding: "There was something out there that was close enough to be observed... sort of L-shaped."

The tests, reportedly more reliable than standard lie detector tests, showed he was telling the truth.
What is Britain's secret UFO dossier?
An official government UFO dossier, referred to as "Britain's X-Files", contains a cache of 15 unusual incidents in British skies.

It has now been released by the Ministry of Defence but it is making it very difficult to get hold of the files.

The Sun Online exclusively revealed that Freedom of Information requests in relation to the dossier could be blocked, because it is hushed up by EU law.

The University of Manchester and Breakthrough Initiatives are currently running their own £77 million hunt for alien life - but experts are yet to find any concrete proof.
What has NASA said about aliens?
NASA is the expert in space activity, but it has remained notoriously tight-lipped when it comes to alien life.

However, Nasa was previously forced to deny claims from hacking group Anonymous that an alien announcement was imminent.

It has also rejected bizarre claims from former CIA case officer Robert David Steele - who said NASA are running a child sex slave colony on Mars.

To date, there is no evidence of life beyond Earth but, when it comes to unexplained events, the finger is often pointed at alien activity.

Meanwhile, recently, stargazers received "some very peculiar signals" while observing a distant dwarf star.

Experts listening in at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico were on a planet spotting mission when the strange "pulses" came over the radio between April and May 2017.
It wasn't until two weeks after the project finished that they noticed the strange signals which came from Ross 128 (GJ447), some 11 light years away, on 12 May at 1.53 AM (BST).

NASA announced it has discovered a new planet in a far off solar system in December 2017.

They told of a new discovery by its Kepler telescope - a new planet in a far-off solar system which lies within the habitable zone.

The planet, called Kepler 90 i, proves that stars can have their own solar systems and is "a really successful discovery."
What plans does the UK have in the event of an invasion?
The Sun Online spoke to experts about what the UK would do if extraterrestrials were to touch down on British soil.

Nick Pope, former Ministry of Defence UFO adviser, believes "key players would include the Secretary of State for Defence, the Chief of the Defence Staff and the Government Chief Scientist".

That means, in the current cabinet, your lives would be in the hands of Michael Fallon, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach and Professor Sir Mark Walport.

The founder of UFO and paranormal hunters Strange Phenomena Investigations, Malcolm Robinson, adds that there is definitely a protocol in place - we'll just never hear about it.

"They won't publicly admit it but I believe that they have a program up their sleeves for the lukewarm possibility of an alien invasion - and I completely believe they have something planned for the event."

Northern California hospital damaged in raging Camp Fire after patients quickly evacuated

From CNN's Amanda Watts

Flames from the Camp Fire damaged Adventist Health Feather River Medical Center in Butte County, but the extent is unknown, according to a statement on their website.

Patients were forced to evacuate to Enloe Medical Center and Oroville Hospital for their safety, their website said. Photographers at the scene shot a series of images showing search and rescue teams scrambling to evacuate the patients.

"While we did sustain damage to some parts of our property, we are unable to confirm the full extent of that damage at this time. Until it is safe for our team to return to the site, we are unable to confirm any reports," the hospital said in a statement.

Adventist Health clinics in Paradise and Chico will remain closed Friday, the hospital said.

Just down the road from the Thousand Oaks bar where 12 people were killed in a mass shooting, residents were also grappling with the Hill Fire, which quickly spread to cover 10,000 acres, Ventura County Fire Department officials said.

Just 12 minutes after it started Thursday afternoon, the flames spread across the 101 Freeway, leaving several drivers temporarily stranded. The highway is expected to remain closed Friday morning, Ventura County Fire Chief Mark Lorenzen said.

Residents took to social media to share their views of the flames nearly consuming the hillside in Newbury Park, which borders Thousands Oaks to the west.

While no homes or businesses have been lost due to the fast-moving fire, a number of RVs and outbuildings have been burned and a firefighter suffered a minor injury, authorities said.

Fire officials anticipate the fire will reach the Pacific Ocean.

3 massive wildfires are burning in California

From CNN's Nicole Chavez, Sarah Aarthun and Emanuella Grinberg

A series of fast-moving wildfires are racing up and down California early Friday, destroying thousands of structures in their paths and forcing thousands of residents to evacuate through flame-lined streets.
Here's a breakdown of the fires:

Camp Fire: The fire broke out Thursday and forced 40,000 residents to evacuate in Butte County, California. It is burning at a rate of about 80 football fields per minute. So far, it has burned through 20,000 acres, injured firefighters and residents, and prompted hospitals and schools to quickly evacuate. Authorities believe up to 1,000 structures have been destroyed -- most of those in Paradise, a town of 26,000 people about 85 miles north of Sacramento, a Cal Fire spokesman said.

Woolsey Fire: The blaze in Los Angeles and Ventura counties grew thousands of acres overnight, exploding from 2,000 acres to 7,500 in a matter of hours. Mandatory evacuations were in effect early Friday, and 30,000 homes were under threat from the blaze. Some structures have already been destroyed, Cal Fire reported.

Hill Fire: The blaze started Thursday afternoon, the flames spread across the 101 Freeway, leaving several drivers temporarily stranded. The highway is expected to remain closed Friday morning, fire officials said. It quickly spread to cover 10,000 acres.

And here's where they are located on a map:

Woman chased parents out of their house firing shots out of a handgun because her father would not change the channel from the Georgia football game.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Georgia woman chased her parents out of their home at gunpoint and fired several shots at the couple as they fled -- all because the woman's dad wouldn't let her switch off a University of Georgia football game, cops said.

Tambria Chaprii Palmer, 28, was arrested Saturday after allegedly shooting at her parents at their Baldwin County home -- because her father wouldn't change the channel from the college football game, the Macon Telegraph reported.

"I think it's a culmination of things, but the last part of it was dad was going to watch the ballgame and she wanted to watch something else," Baldwin County sheriff's Capt. Brad King said.

The argument started when Palmer grabbed the remote and changed the channel from the Georgia game while her father, Darrell Palmer, was watching, according to the Telegraph, which cited a police report.

Things escalated when Darrell Palmer turned the television off completely. His daughter attempted to turn the TV back on, but Darrell blocked her from doing so.

According to the incident report, Darrell told police his daughter "began cussing at him and attempted to hit him in the face." He said he grabbed Tambria and put her on the couch -- but she wouldn't stop "cussing."

She eventually got up, went to the bedroom and told the family "she was going to send everyone in this house to hell," family members told police.

That's when officials say Tambria loaded a handgun and fired a shot at her father. Darrell scrambled to get out of the house, according to the Macon Telegraph, and soon, so did Tambria's mom, Le'Trice Palmer. Le'Trice was holding her newborn granddaughter -- Tambria's child -- when the shooting began.

Tambria Palmer chased her mother outside and fired multiple rounds at her, police said. As responding officers arrived, Palmer allegedly threw the gun into the bushes. Police said she "shot every round in the magazine."

Tambria Palmer's three other children were found in a back bedroom inside the home, according to the newspaper.

She was arrested and charged with six counts of aggravated assault, four counts of cruelty to children and one count of reckless conduct.

Firefighter got called to fire mid haircut.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This hilarious photo shows a firefighter who arrived for an emergency with half his head shaved after being called out during a haircut.

Firefighter Joe Cartwright was getting a short back and sides but had to jump out of the barber's chair mid-trim when his pager went off.

Much to the delight of Cartwright's colleagues, from Buckfastleigh Fire Station in Devon, England, the 31-year-old turned up with a stripe of hair shaved off around the sides.
ANTHONY BOURDAIN'S FORMER NEW YORK CITY CONDO DROPS IN PRICE
"It was only five minutes in, she'd just started cutting the sides," he said. "The call was to some bales of hay piled up next to a barn that were smoldering. They get very hot this time of year and sometimes they self-ignite. I ran out of the barber's with tissue still hanging out of my t-shirt after taking the apron off."

Cartwright has been a firefighter for two and a half years - on call for 84 hours a week while also working his day job as a student paramedic.

He said his colleagues were delighted when he turned up with his unusual do.

"Some of the older ones thought I was trend-setting and it was some modern new look," he said. "When I told them what had happened they said, 'Oh my God I thought you'd just got an [unfashionable] haircut.' My boss just thought it was hilarious, he laughed and laughed. I'll never live it down."

Luckily the situation was resolved safely and Joe was stood down - he went straight back to finish getting his trim.

In a statement, Buckfastleigh Fire Station said: "To be a retained firefighter takes a certain type of person, to respond to your alerter 24 hours a day, seven days a week takes dedication, stopping what you're doing no matter what. However leaving a haircut half-way through when your alerter goes off is on another level."

Jack and Diane, the male donkey and female emu who are reportedly in love with each other, have become so inseparable, their North Carolina animal shelter fears the animals will not be adopted.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Jack and Diane, the male donkey and female emu who are reportedly in love with each other, have become so inseparable, their North Carolina animal shelter fears the animals will not be adopted.

The animals are currently at the Carolina Waterfowl Rescue near Charlotte, N.C. and have also become famous on social media, the animal shelter said.

In a number of Facebook posts, the two animals were pictured standing side-by-side or going on leisurely walks together. The animal shelter said it will not separate the two (until death do them part), and staffers are trying to find the feathered female and her braying beloved a forever home.

In the meantime, the shelter has tried to fix the pair up with some couple friends. It did not go well.

"They don't get along with other donkeys or emus," a Facebook post read. "They can't be put in with other animals."
NORTH CAROLINA MAN CLAIMS HE PUNCHED BEAR 'RIGHT IN THE NOSE' AFTER ALLEGED ATTACK
The animal shelter said in a Facebook post that, like every couple, there are issues in Jack and Diane's relationship. For one thing, Jack has a jealous streak, on display when he attacked another donkey who was getting close to Diane.

But the animals have managed to stay mostly grounded despite becoming viral celebrities. They've started receiving a lot of visitors, but they still make time for each other. The two animals were being kept together in the same enclosure until they're adopted. Jennifer Gordon, of the animal shelter, sadly predicted that won't happen, however.

Gordon told the Charlotte Observer she believed the two animals started to bond due to loneliness. She said Jack and Diane were found in Kershaw, S.C., where their owner had abandoned the Don Juan donkey and his lovebird, as well as other animals. The shelter took all the animals in, hoping to find them homes.

The animal shelter has launched a campaign to raise money for Jack and Diane, who share a name with a popular song by John Mellencamp, and other animals' medical bills.

New Jersey State Troops save unconscious man from burning car

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two New Jersey State Police Troopers pulled a man from a burning car, saving his life Sunday.

The driver, Anthony Branca, had just left work in South Philadelphia and was headed to his home in Hammonton when he suddenly veered off the road.

Troopers Christopher Warwick and Thomas O'Connor were trying to rescue an unconscious Branca from the driver seat, as flames fanned from the hood of the car.

Believed to have fallen asleep at the wheel, the officers had a matter of minutes to get him out of his burning car.

"We were pulling up to it as a car in the median, we had no idea that it was in the crash for sure," said

A witness told police the 53-year-old veered off the southbound lanes of Route 42 in Gloucester Township.

The pair repeatedly tried to alert Branca that he was in danger.

"We attempted to open the driver door and you can only open it 6 inches at best; it hit the guardrail and there's no moving the vehicle," said Warwick.

Attempting to move the car would have accelerated the fire, so the troopers tried to pull Branca out through a rear door. When that didn't work, they knew the driver's side window was the only way out.

"When we started tugging, we gave him some pretty hard tugs, he wasn't moving at all right away," said O'Connor. "You are cognizant the fire is there, but I don't think in that moment you truly realize how intense and how close it actually is."

Both troopers said if they had been alone, rescuing Branca would have proved to have been more challenging.

As for the victim, attempts to reach him went unanswered Thursday night.
