The world is witnessing a new emerging threat. There is an upsurge in peculiar sightings reported over the skies. Commonly knowns as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO), these objects may pose a threat. Could these unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) be satellites deployed by foreign governments? Or falling space junk or maybe even floating speciality balloons or purposely faked UFOs?

'UFO Panel' by NASA explains mysterious sightings for the first time

Scientists have broadly agreed that our species, Homo sapiens, originated in Africa and that modern humans also arose from one place on that continent in time. However, the findings published in the journal Nature, on Wednesday (May 17), say otherwise.

No, all humans didn't come from one place in Africa, claims new study
