A new Netflix documentary set to premiere on October 30th will explore one of the most controversial alien abduction cases in modern history. The Manhattan Alien Abduction revisits the bizarre 1989 incident involving Linda Napolitano, a mother of two from Manhattan, who claimed to have been abducted from her apartment by extraterrestrial beings. On November 30, 1989, Napolitano reported an extraordinary encounter, alleging that a strange “grey biped” appeared in her bedroom in the middle of the night. Even more shocking, she claimed to have been lifted from her bed and levitated out of her apartment window by a blue beam of light. What makes this case particularly compelling are the accounts from multiple witnesses, including people who claimed they saw Napolitano floating outside her high-rise window that night. These witness testimonies have fueled intense debate over the years, with some considering it one of the most credible alien abduction stories ever documented. In the documentary, experts and investigators take a deeper dive into the case, interviewing key witnesses and reexamining the evidence. Was Napolitano really abducted by aliens, or could there be a more earthly explanation for the event?

NASA is seriously considering growing structures on the Moon and Mars that could eventually be inhabited by people. The US space agency has awarded a $2 million contract to a team of experts from NASA’s Ames Research Center to develop “mycotecture” – the use of fungi-based materials for construction purposes. Such futuristic options are being considered by NASA because launching traditional building materials into space would be very expensive. Architect Chris Maurer, who is part of the research team and founder of redhouse, says the fungal spores could be mixed with lunar materials such as water and regolith to make bricks that would be much cheaper to produce. Preliminary studies have already shown that such mushroom building blocks could even reflect most cosmic radiation and protect people from extreme temperatures. What is especially attractive is that such building materials could be grown in just one or two months. Growing a house of mushrooms on the Moon will begin with sending and landing a special package on the Earth’s satellite. On the surface, it will begin to inflate and grow in size so that mushroom spores, water and algae can mix inside, which will eventually form the outer shell of the dwelling. Early experiments have already shown the effectiveness of this method on Earth, but on another planet or satellite the reality may be completely different. A team of researchers led by NASA Ames Senior Scientist Lynn Rothschild plans to test their method beyond Earth. The scientists want to send a concept model of their invention into space in 2028, along with the launch of the commercial space station Starlab. “In a general sense, there are technological risks,” Rothschild told Al Jazeera. “Will the structure be strong enough? Will it really provide the insulation that we think? What will the material properties be? Will it really grow well?” The post Houses on the Moon and Mars Will Be Grown From Mushrooms appeared first on Anomalien.com.

In one way or another, Ubisoft had been working towards Skull and Bones ever since 2012, and the launch of Assassin’s Creed 3. The sailing and naval combat sequences of Connor Kenway’s adventure were easily the strongest, and made even better in AC4 Black Flag, which remains to this day the best entry in the entire stealth RPG series. It was only natural that a full, sea-based pirate game would arrive from Ubisoft eventually, but Skull and Bones - at launch, at least - wasn’t quite what players wanted. Some middling review scores and troubling player numbers have threatened to demote the swashbuckling epic to the depths of gaming history. But if you’ve stayed away from Skull and Bones so far, thanks to a generous Steam sale, now is the time to give it a swing.
