Image
Perhaps it's the knowledge of this near hopeless case that recently prompted a group of scientists to apparently throw up their hands and give their go-for-broke demand of "Screw it. We don't just want Pluto back, we want another 150 goddamn planets added to the list." A "planet," by their definition, is "any geologically active" body in space, which not only would rope Pluto back into the fold, but also moons like Europa, Enceladus and Titan, as well as the asteroid, Ceres. All in all, about 150 new "planets" to add to the existing eight. Publisher: The A.V.

You need to watch the best sci-fi mockumentary on Netflix before it leaves this week Americans have been obsessed with flying saucers and little green men since the end of the Second World War. But in 1972, UFO researcher and astronomer J. Allen Hynek published a book called The UFO Experience: A Scientific Enquiry. But there was something else that bubbled under the surface of science fiction dogma; experiences that largely went unspoken, but were alleged by countless Americans from disparate locations and backgrounds. The horrors in question could be filed under "things that go bump in the night.
