Conspiracy theorists claim that a strange bright blue light that emanated in the sky over North Wales earlier this month marked the descent of aliens at a secret underground base.
The footage that fuelled this alien speculation was filmed by a member of the Hawarden-based National Police Air Service on 7 February, though some commenters suggested that the eerie phenomenon was caused by a ball lightning or power outage.
However, UFO investigator Russ claims that the light was connected with an underground facility he believes to be lying beneath the North Wales coast.
"I don't know what it was, but it could have been a UFO that came down, something that landed in the area or even something that was brought to the area," he told North Wales Live.
The discovery of a Tengmalm's owl in a Shetland garden on Tuesday is setting the local and national bird watchers community into overdrive.
Named after a Swedish naturalist, there have only ever been four records of the small owl in Shetland, the last being more than 100 years ago in 1912 in Unst.
The bird was discovered sitting on a tree just outside Jackie and Erik Moar's bedroom window in Tumblin, near Bixter.
They put a photo of the bird on Facebook and within a short while local wildlife photographer Dennis and John Coutts, as well as local wildlife guide Hugh Harrop knew that this was something much rarer than the common long eared owls seen in Shetland trees.
As expected, the impressive cyclone we discussed yesterday has gone through an incredibly rapid intensification and deepened below 940 mbar this morning. A very deep cyclone (a "weather bomb") is moving across the north Atlantic and is expected to pass just west of Iceland tomorrow before it hits south Greenland overnight to Friday.
Mean sea level pressure analysis reveals the central pressure had already fallen below 940 mbar by this morning, into 938-939 mbar range. Notice the incredibly steep pressure gradient through the NW and SW quadrants of the system - this is undoubtedly producing some violent winds, in excess of 150 km/h!

Possible disruptions at Catania Airport in southern Italy were reported early Wednesday after Mount Etna erupted sending ash clouds over the island of Sicily. The crisis unit of the Sac, the company that manages the international airport of Fontanarossa, ordered some restriction on landings, local media reported.
While take-offs have not been affected so far, the airport warned of possible delays to travel following the explosion of Europe's most active volcano.
In January, the airport was closed after Etna began erupting. In December the volcano exploded on Christmas Eve sending a series of earthquakes.

The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim: nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences.
