Scientists in the US are said to have read minds using Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) scanners which are normally used in hospitals to detect the flow of blood around the brain using a radiomagnetic field and radio waves. Researchers from Vanderbilt University in Nashville asked volunteers to look at different images on a screen. One had a circles with almost horizontal lines across it and the other had almost vertical lines across it. Monitoring showed that different areas of the brain lit up while they were making the observations. Then they tried the experiment in reverse where the test subjects were told to think about one of the circles. Again, working from which area of the brain lit up, they were able to tell which one the subjects were thinking about! While this is not unlocking the secrets of thought prediction, it does allow scientists to determine which parts of the brain are involved in short-term visual memory.

This report is similar to a Westmoreland County, PA, report Gordon reported on from Oct. 26, 2008, in Mysterious Sky Flashes Puzzle Pennsylvania Observers.
The New Year has brought with it a flurry of unidentified flying object (UFO) reports in the greater Pittsburgh region.
The most interesting case occurred in the Pittsburgh suburb of White Oak on January 3. The witness was driving west on Lincoln Way toward the intersection of Route 48. He happened to look to his right when he noticed a bright string of lights forming on an obtuse, triangular-shaped formation hovering motionless above a Giant Eagle parking lot.
The witness admitted to being a poor judge of height and size, but claimed the object was huge and close to the ground. As he watched the object, more lights started to appear on the edges, and it appeared that all of the edges suddenly lit up with a brilliant flash before returning to the original light pattern.

One of the witnesses, Mr Patapios Palaiologou, a 42 year old worker at a local casino was driving his daughter to school when he saw the UFO.
'The time was 8am in the morning and I was with my daughter in our car. It was a sunny day and the sky was totally clear. . Suddenly, I saw a huge object over the small hillside opposite the village where we live. . It looked like nothing I had ever seen before and I could not believe it. I pointed it out to my stunned daughter. I got out of the car to get a better look. It appeared to be it about 400 meters above ground and it was huge, about 300 meters in diameter. It looked like the planet Saturn with a red ring around it and was metallic silver in colour'.
Mystery surrounds a set of dark round objects seen drifting across the sky in Basingstoke last night.
Claire Whettem, 31, spotted the unidentified flying objects, which each had orange lights, when she went out for a cigarette in the back garden of her home in Cliddesden Road about 9pm yesterday.
She said: "There was five round objects and they had orange lights around them and they were dancing around each other.
"I was a bit freaked out because I definitely knew they weren't a plane because they didn't make any noise.

London - The ghostly figure of a cowboy, who walks in front of a roaring fire in a pub in Britain, has been captured on video.
What can be seen of the ghost are a Stetson style hat and a waistcoat, and locals believe that paranormal forces are responsible for it.
The ghostly figure was caught on a new mobile phone, when its video mode was being tested, and it was only visible after the recording was played back.

Motorists in Wasgington County traveling along a major route in May pulled over to watch as a ''huge dark colored flying creature that looked more like a giant bat than a bird'' was low flying as it passed over the cars.
A Warren County woman reported in May that a Bigfoot-like creature climbed onto her home deck as she watched from inside.
A witness is reporting two triangular-shaped UFOs approximately 150 feet off of the ground traveling north at about Shadeland Avenue on the city's east side at 12:39 a.m.. He described the crafts as about 45 feet in width with blue and white lights moving in a circular motion and a single white light in front.
Recent UFO sighting statistics suggest that one particular Pennsylvania region ranks highest among low-population counties nationwide. Westmoreland County is tucked away in a southwestern piece of the keystone state in the Pittsburgh-metro area with a 2,000 census population of 369,993.
A story in the March 2009 issue of Popular Mechanics lists the top five UFO hot spots for both major metro counties and less populated counties. Westmoreland County ranks number one for less populated regions with 396 UFO reports between 1947 and 2005, according to data the magazine acquired from Chicago's Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS). And CUFOS, according to the story, "gathers data from UFO reporting groups and public records."
