A team of scientists from the SETI Institute and the University of California at Davis documented, for the first time, humpback whales producing large bubble rings, like a human smoker blowing smoke rings, during friendly interactions with humans. This previously little studied behavior may represent play or communication. Humpback whales are already known for using bubbles to corral prey and creating bubble trails and bursts when competing to escort a female whale. These new observations show humpback whales producing bubble rings during friendly encounters with humans. This finding contributes to the WhaleSETI team’s broader goal of studying non-human intelligence to…

AI is reshaping countless aspects of life. But so far, its applications have focused mostly on our singular species, Homo sapiens. What if humans used AI to better understand the nonhuman beings with whom we share the planet?  We are just now opening a portal to that world. Advancements in machine learning and robotics are making possible the study of nonhuman animal communication with unprecedented depth and precision. Researchers are getting closer to identifying the unique names that elephants use for each other; understanding how moths hear the distress calls of plants; and decoding the complex sounds of sperm whales, a…

Is 3I/ATLAS an alien space probe? An irregular comet? Debate rages around status of 3rd interstellar object ever spotted. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb discusses implications with ‘Magazine.’An incoming interstellar object – the third ever detected by humanity – challenges all theories about its construction, and could even potentially be a sign of intelligent alien civilization out in the depths of the cosmos, says Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb.The object in question is 3I/ATLAS. ATLAS refers to the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System telescope network that helped discover it. The 3I indicates signifies that it is the third such interstellar visitor ever…

In this month’s It’s Debatable column, Rosen and Moster debate whether the rise of Artificial Intelligence presents an existential threat to humanity and its survival.

There are some areas of the paranormal that I know very little about, however, I still find the stories very intriguing and mysterious. One such subject is “alien abduction” and the dark secrets that come with it.   In this column, I am sharing with you two personal stories: one woman was Caucasian and the other First Nations. A few years ago, I met these women. This subject was new to me, and I found their stories very horrifying. I had never imagined visits by extra-terrestrials (ETs) coming down from the sky, mostly at night. The two abductees were from different parts of the…

A new report from the Department of Defense’s UFO office concluded that no previous U.S. government investigation or research has confirmed a sighting has represented “extraterrestrial technology.”The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office handles everything related to unidentified aerial phenomena, the department’s terminology for UFOs, and it reviewed every U.S. government investigation since 1945. “AARO assesses that alleged hidden UAP programs either do not exist or were misidentified authentic national security programs unrelated to extraterrestrial technology exploitation,” said Tim Phillips, AARO’s acting director. “We assess that claims of such hidden programs are largely the result of circular reporting in which a…

An active-duty U.S. Army soldier has been arrested and accused of trying to leak classified defense information to Russia, prosecutors said.Taylor Adam Lee, 22, of El Paso, Texas, was arrested Wednesday, Aug. 6, and charged with attempted transmission of national defense information to a foreign adversary and attempted export of controlled technical data without a license, the Department of Justice said in a news release.Starting in May, Lee, who had been stationed at the Fort Bliss base in Texas, allegedly tried to send sensitive information about the Army’s main battle tank to Russia’s Ministry of Defense.“Today’s arrest is a message…

Blumhouse Television and Amblin Television have partnered to jointly option the rights to Annie Jacobsen’s upcoming book Phenomena: The Secret History of the U.S. Government’s Investigations Into Extrasensory Perception and Psychokinesis to develop as a TV series. Little Brown & Co. Phenomena traces the U.S. government’s long-hidden history of military and intelligence agency experiments on extraordinary human functioning, including mental telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and other forms of extrasensory perception (ESP), for defense purposes. The book, published by Little, Brown and Company, is coming out next week, on March 28. Blumhouse and Amblin are serving as co-studios on the project. Jacobsen…

The new FX series, Alien: Earth, took no time in becoming one of the most popular sci-fi TV series, bringing back the horrors of Xenomorphs and other extraterrestrial creatures to Earth in 2120. Coming from the hit Alien franchise, the show focuses on five tech companies that dominate the world. Viewers are introduced to three major and advanced forms of humanity: cyborgs, synthetics, and hybrids. They co-exist in this timeline, and Alien: Earth shows how it happens and the impact of such a huge invention. The show came out on August 12, 2025, on FX and Hulu and has now…

The growing debate over whether artificial intelligence should mimic human thinking has been reignited by a recent study by researcher Soumya Banerjee. The work questions long-held anthropocentric assumptions and argues for broader perspectives on intelligence beyond human cognition. The paper, When Planes Fly Better than Birds: Should AIs Think like Humans?, was published in the journal Proceedings. Drawing on philosophical, engineering, and ethical perspectives, Banerjee compares AI’s trajectory with the evolution of aviation, suggesting that just as airplanes surpass birds without replicating their biology, AI might achieve intelligence without mirroring human thought. Do machines need to think like humans to…
