Mysterious Space Machines - Caught On Tape


Mystery Space Machines - Pt 7
A Rense.com World Exclusive

Working night after night, John Walson continues to set up his equipment in the cold English countryside. He now estimates to have found around 100 space machines or space craft in the dark skies overhead. There is a great deal of new visual information in this newest installment of our world exclusive series which features four new videos and a number of still frames from them.


One of the videos was recorded with Walson's new HD camcorder and the results are even more stunning. As always, he selects his targets...and then focuses his telescope in on what appear to the casual observer to be 'bright stars'. As we will see, these objects are anything but 'stars'.


Here are the four new Part 7 videos. Take a close look at the first machine... you can pause the video anytime. Given the fact that these craft are very difficult to image, Walson has been able to capture a great deal of detail...and it is quite intriguing...



















The following three stills show an interesting sequence of contrasted stills showing a second object in motion in the frame...which appears to be near the primary object itself.

Endangered Mongolian Desert Mouse Caught On Film


The first known film of the long-eared jerboa, an endangered Mongolian rodent with legs like a kangaroo, was released today by the owners of London Zoo. The gerbil-sized long-eared jerboa (Euchoreutes naso), found in the deserts of Mongolia and China, is classed as endangered on the World Conservation Union's red list.

The nature of the threat is not well understood, but it has been suggested that it is due to habitat disturbance from mining activities, overgrazing and agriculture, as well as possibly climate change.

The introduction of the domestic cat has put further pressure on the mammal.

Half Man, Half Tree? - The Man Who Grew Roots






Tree man 'who grew roots' may be cured
By Matthew Moore

An Indonesian fisherman who feared that he would be killed by tree-like growths covering his body has been given hope of recovery by an American doctor - and Vitamin A.

Dede, now 35, baffled medical experts when warty "roots" began growing out of his arms and feet after he cut his knee in a teenage accident.

The welts spread across his body unchecked and soon he was left unable to carry out everyday household tasks.

Sacked from his job and deserted by his wife, Dede has been raising his two children - now in their late teens - in poverty, resigned to the fact that local doctors had no cure for his condition.

To make ends meet he even joined a local "freak show", parading in front of a paying audience alongside victims of other peculiar diseases.

Although supported by his extended family, he was often a target of abuse and ridicule in his rural fishing village.

But now an American dermatology expert who flew out to Dede's home village south of the capital Jakarta claims to have identified his condition, and proposed a treatment that could transform his life.

After testing samples of the lesions and Dede's blood, Dr Anthony Gaspari of the University of Maryland concluded that his affliction is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a fairly common infection that usually causes small warts to develop on sufferers.

Dede's problem is that he has a rare genetic fault that impedes his immune system, meaning his body is unable to contain the warts.

The virus was therefore able to "hijack the cellular machinery of his skin cells", ordering them to produce massive amounts of the substance that caused the tree-like growths known as "cutaneous horns" on his hands and feet.

"He won't have a perfectly normal body but the warts should reduce in size to the point where he could use his hands," Dr Gaspari said.

"Over the course of three to six months the warts should be come smaller and fewer in number. He will be living a more normal life."

The most resilient warts could then be frozen off and the growths on his hands and feet surgically removed.

Dr Gaspari hopes to get the necessary drugs free of charge from pharmaceutical firms. They would then be administered by Indonesian doctors under his supervision.
