Trump Leaves Door Open to UFO Disclosure Announcement: “I’m Looking” unverified
Liberation Times reports that President Trump, asked on Newsmax on October 15 whether he would reveal the truth about alien visits, answered "I'm looking." He said he had spoken with five or six Air Force pilots he called credible, one of whom described a round object that flew four times faster than an F-22. It is the latest sign the White House may be open to a UFO disclosure statement, though this rests on a single source.
ESA's Euclid space telescope has found its first previously unknown comet, spotted in images taken between September 16 and 24. Euclid was built to take deep, steady pictures of distant galaxies, not to track fast-moving objects, so the find shows it can also catch new comets while they are still far from the Sun. That could help pick a target for ESA's future Comet Interceptor mission.
Accused OpenAI spy had folder called “Saudi Gov Docs,” FBI says
A US court has ordered that Abdulrahman Alfozan, a former OpenAI engineer accused of bugging a secret conference room to steal the company's secrets, stay in jail while his case goes forward. Prosecutors say he spied on OpenAI either for his own business gain or to help Saudi Arabia, and the FBI says he kept a folder called "Saudi Gov Docs." The case shows how valuable top AI labs' secrets have become.
A feature in Current World Archaeology traces how people in early Egypt adorned themselves, from the Neolithic (about 7000 BC) to the first dynasties (about 2686 BC). As the Sahara dried out, people from nearby regions settled in the Nile Valley and brought new materials with them, and later Egyptians traded for metals and minerals from as far as Nubia, Anatolia and Mesopotamia. The jewelry found in graves and settlements shows how these early communities were linked to other cultures.
