NEW BIOLOGICAL TYPE of UFOs showing up over Mexico City

Nasa creates incredible video 'fly-through' of 18-mile crack in Pine Island glacier from 3D laser sc

In October 2011, airborne Nasa researchers made the first-ever detailed 3D measurements of a major iceberg calving event - a new iceberg 'being born'.

The IceBridge team has now used the measurements - captured with a 3D laser imaging device - to create a 3D model of the crack in Pine Island Glacier, and an incredible video of what it would be like to fly through.

The "rarest insect in the world" also happens to be freaking enormous

In 1918, a battered British supply ship was forced to run aground off the coast of Lord Howe Island, a volcanic remnant located hundreds of miles off Australia's eastern seaboard. There, the ship's crew was received by the island's famous Dryococelus australis, a positively massive, hand-sized species of stick insect known to Europeans as "tree lobsters." But these impressive bugs were not long for this world.
In the nine days it took the ship's crew members to repair their damaged vessel, a pack of stowaway rats had managed to jump ship and invade the island. A scourge had been unleashed upon the D. australis population. By 1920, the island had been overrun by rats, and the insects had vanished. The tree lobsters of Lord Howe — long believed to be endemic to the island — were presumed extinct.
But in 2001, scientists made an incredible discovery.

About thirteen miles southeast of Lord Howe sits another island, named "Ball's Pyramid," that would look right at home on the cover of a Tintin comic. It was here, about halfway up the island's precipitous, 1800-foot-high slope, that researchers discovered what is believed to have been one of the last bastions of tree-lobsterdom in the entire world: a collection of two dozen of the enormous black insects, huddled beneath the shelter of a single bush.
