Scientists baffled after UK satellite ends up 1,000s of miles away - no one knows why

 Scientists baffled after UK satellite ends up 1,000s of miles away - no one knows why

Launched in 1969, just a few months after humans first set foot on the Moon, Skynet-1A was put high above Africa's east coast to relay communications for British forces. The spacecraft stopped working years ago, and conventional wisdom would suggest that the Earth's gravitational pull would move it eastwards over the Indian Ocean, but the opposite has happened. The satellite is now halfway around the world above the Americas, baffling scientists who insist that orbital mechanics mean it is unlikely that the half-tonne spacecraft would have simply drifted to its current position. This leads to the conclusion that it was intentionally moved, but nobody can say who would want or be able to do such a thing.

Trump, Brennan, and Comey: The Investigation That Feels Bigger Than Justice

Trump Celebrates New FBI Investigation, But Is It Really About Justice? Some people believe there’s more going on behind the FBI’s new investigation into James Comey and John Brennan than meets the eye. These two men once led the FBI and CIA and played major roles in the Russia investigation that put Trump under heavy fire back in 2016. Now, years later, Trump is celebrating that they’re being looked into—turning the tables. But it may not be just about finding the truth. When powerful people are investigated, even if they’re never charged, the public sees them as suspicious. These kinds of probes take time, cost money, and bring lots of attention. Some think that might be the point: by keeping Comey and Brennan in the headlines, Trump gets to remind people of how they once came after him—and now they’re the ones being questioned. Others believe this move works like a game of chess. It helps Trump fire up his supporters, show he’s still fighting what he calls the “Deep State,” and dist...

What Are They Hiding in the Sky?

What Are They Hiding in the Sky? Why Are Planes Spraying So Much? Across the world, more people are starting to ask the same question: what’s really going on in the sky? Planes fly overhead every day, and many leave long white trails that stay in the sky much longer than usual. These are not the quick-disappearing contrails people used to see. Instead, the sky fills with hazy streaks that spread out and change the weather—sometimes making it cloudy when it was clear just hours earlier. People in the U.S., Europe, Australia, and even small island nations have noticed strange weather patterns after heavy spraying. Some say the sun looks dimmer. Others report headaches, breathing problems, or dry crops. In farming towns, folks talk about how rain no longer comes when it used to. Even pilots and meteorologists have quietly admitted that these trails might not be natural. Governments call it "geoengineering"—a fancy word for trying to cool the Earth by reflecting sunlight back in...
