CERES IS IT A ALIEN OR JUST A MIRARGE
Could dwarf planet Ceres be watching us watching it? As NASA's Dawn spacecraft approaches the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, it seems to be lighting up. Not long after images of Ceres revealed a strange reflective spot, another dimmer one came into view in the latest NASA images, giving the appearance of a spooky pair of eyes peering back at Dawn.
So what's going on here? Metallic mineral deposits? The local ice skating rink on an improbably shiny frozen lake in the bottom of a huge crater? A giant Ceresian mirror or solar farm?
The answer is...we have no idea.

"Ceres' bright spot can now be seen to have a companion of lesser brightness, but apparently in the same basin. This may be pointing to a volcano-like origin of the spots, but we will have to wait for better resolution before we can make such geologic interpretations," said UCLA's Chris Russell, principal investigator for the Dawn mission, in a statement Wednesday.
As Dawn gets closer, the images sent back of Ceres become more clear and, frankly, more weird. The above image with the two bright spots was taken from about 29,000 miles from the surface of the dwarf planet. Dawn will continue its approach until March 6, when it will enter orbit around Ceres to get better views for a period of 16 months.
In the coming months, those strange bright spots should come more into focus, as should the underlying nature of Ceres, which many believe may be hiding more freshwater than we have here on Earth.FOLLOW LINK TO SEE PHOTO-http://www.cnet.com/news/whaa-now-theres-a-second-bright-light-on-dwarf-planet-ceres/
BEES HAVE FALSE MEMORIES?
A study in U .K has shown the following.Bees can become muddled by false memories just in the same way humans do.
Whaa? Now there's a second bright light on dwarf planet Ceres

AIDS IN 1908?
It is being claimed that the first human to die from aids or h.i.v virus got if from a chimp killed for meat in 1908.The man from South East Cameroon was inflected when blood got into open wound.This was found by d .n. av by science writer DAVID QUAMMEN ..IN HIS BOOK THE CHIMP AND THE RIVER and believes it lurked undiagnosed in Africans untill Hati began spreading in 1969
IS THIS STUDY SERIOUS?
Well researchers at St.Andrews University ,Scotland dressed a volunteer in a gorilla suit to test how people react to Bigfoot sightings,used a busy road .Also looking into flying saucers,sea monsters and keeping work secret until published in journals-DR CHARLES PAXTON.

Dutch town takes up umbrellas against rogue owl attacks
Residents in the northern Dutch town of Purmerend have been advised to take umbrellas out at night after a spate of attacks by an owl.
Dozens of residents have suffered head injuries over the past three weeks at the claws of the rogue European eagle owl.
Two runners were attacked on Tuesday, with one requiring stitches for five separate head wounds.
The European eagle owl's usual prey are small mammals and birds.

One of the sites of the attacks has been a home for the disabled.
Liselotte de Bruijn, a spokeswoman for the home, told the AFP news agency that residents and workers had suffered at least 15 separate attacks by the nocturnal bird, which remains at large.
"During the day there's no problem, but at night we now only venture outside armed with umbrellas, helmets and hats, anything really, to protect ourselves," said Ms de Bruijn.
Dutch bank Rabobank has donated umbrellas to the home, and a spokesman for the company told local broadcaster RTVNH that it-read more-http:///news/world-europe-31628508
