Microbes from Earth could be spread throughout the galaxy…
Astronomers may have shown how microbes from Earth could be spread throughout the galaxy taking life to other worlds.
Scientists at Armagh Observatory and Cardiff University say bacteria could get into space on rocks blasted off the planet by an asteroid or comet impact.
Their calculations then indicate the microbes would eventually leak out of our Solar System to seed other regions.
A touching story from Wiltshire
(For those of you who don’t know it, Wootton Bassett is a small town in Wiltshire that receives the British fallen soldiers).
BBC News
Four years ago repatriation flights started flying into RAF Lynham in Wiltshire and to pay tribute, the people of Wootton Bassett lined the streets and fell silent as hearses passed through the town.
Over the years this mark of respect has been repeated, to honour those fallen and to show support for their families.
MoD Releases Secret Files On UFO Sightings
UFO sightings of mysterious lights over Glastonbury and a “flying saucer” outside Retford town hall have been revealed in Ministry of Defence files.
The images were sent to the Defence Geographic and Imagery Intelligence Agency (DGIA) in July 2004.
Experts examined the photos, including the image of a “flying saucer” taken outside Retford town hall in Nottinghamshire.
The DGIA report stated: “No definitive conclusions can be gathered from evidence submitted.
“However, it may be coincidental that the illuminated plane of the object passes through the centre of the frame, indicating a possible lens anomaly, eg a droplet of moisture.”

Now declassified top-secret X Files and witness reports show TEN more sightings there dating back to 1940.

The Lost Dacomé Files, #1
I’m almost finished and extremely excited about this project. It tells the back story of Halika Dacomé and her final battle of Arcanon Major before her ultimate exile to Earth.
It is advisable to read Elemental: The First before reading this story although it can be treated as a stand-alone novel in itself.
The Lost Dacomé Files, (out end Sept 2011) will be followed by Book 2 of the Primord series, Elemental: The Circle of Fire.
