<p>A small corner of Ohio has reported a surge in sightings of a creature that is only believed to exist in folklore - The Bigfoot. Residents in northeast Ohio claim that this beast is between 6 and 10 feet tall and completely covered in dark fur. The proof, they say, lies in the 17-inch footprints which could only belong to a creature that is at least 7-feet tall or may be even more. Bigfoot sightings have been in the news in this area of Ohio since March. Some people even believe that it is not a lone entity, but an entire family that seems to be roaming around. Anonymous witnesses say they have come across huge footprints between Akron and Youngstown in Portage County and even shared pictures, according to Fox 8. The sightings are being linked to the harsh winter. According to the outlet, the last time mass reports of sightings emerged from the area was in 1978, with a brutal winter that is seen as one of the worst in US history. The Cleveland Superbomb snowstorm followed, and the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes were terribly affected.

Bigfoot sightings have surged in Ohio as residents claim to have come across mammoth footprints. Experts have started investigations as they claim the brutal winter has pushed them out of their habitat. They have even recorded howls which they say are not from a known animal.

Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan updated his social media bio on Sunday (May 03), a day before the counting of votes for the Kerala Assembly elections, dropping the “Chief Minister” designation and identifying himself as a Polit Bureau Member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). The changed bio of Vijayan now reads "Polit Bureau Member, Communist Party of India (Marxist)". The move comes as Vijayan seeks a third consecutive term in the state, after securing comfortable victories in both 2016 and 2021. Despite the state being considered a Left bastion, the 2026 contest has seen a stronger challenge from both the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) and the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The UDF fielded V P Abdul Rasheed against the Chief Minister, while the BJP nominated K Ranjith for the seat.

Speaking on a new series of BBC Radio 4's The Gift, the sisters told journalist Jenny Kleeman how they came to learn the truth about their origins. "We're miracles," they said. They came to know about their origins as recently as 2022. What is heteropaternal superfecundation? Heteropaternal superfecundation occurs when a woman releases more than one egg during a single menstrual cycle, the same process behind fraternal twins, but the eggs are fertilised by sperm from two different men. For this to happen, two acts of intercourse with different partners must occur within a roughly five-day window, since sperm can survive in the reproductive tract for up to five days while eggs remain viable for only 12 to 24 hours after release.

<p>The attack took place on Mount Zion, near the site regarded by Jewish tradition as King David's tomb and by Christians as the location of the Last Supper. The nun sustained facial grazes but was not seriously injured. Israeli police have arrested a 36-year-old man in connection with the incident.

<h2><strong>Condemnation grows over "shameful act"</strong></h2><p>Israel's foreign ministry called it a "shameful act" that "stands in direct contradiction to the values of respect, coexistence, and religious freedom upon which Israel is founded and to which it remains deeply committed." The French consulate called for the perpetrator to face justice. The director of the French research school, Father Olivier Poquillon, said he expected a firm response from authorities.</p><p><strong>Also read | </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-he-was-in-that-very-building-iran-official-confirms-mojtaba-survived-strike-that-killed-ali-khamenei-dismisses-health-rumours-1777627435826"><strong>‘He was in that very building’: Iran official REVEALS how Mojtaba survived strike that killed Ali Khamenei</strong></a></p><p>The Hebrew University of Jerusalem alleged that the attack was "not an isolated incident, but part of a troubling pattern of rising hostility toward the Christian community and its symbols".

One monastery in Mea Shearim told researchers there had been "no significant incidents" before adding: "The truth is, we hardly left the house. At times, when we did go out, children spat and cursed the name of the Lord Jesus.

<p>Elon Musk has another reason to land humans on Mars - his own pay package. According to a Reuters report, the SpaceX Board members have approved a compensation plan that would only kick in if the company successfully achieves its aims linked to the Red Planet. SpaceX recently filed a confidential registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which states that Musk will get $200 million in super-voting restricted shares if the company hits two goals: a market value of $7.5 trillion and a colony of at least 1 million people on Mars. Besides the interplanetary goal, the statement also states that Musk would get additional incentives of $60.4 million in restricted shares if SpaceX is able to operate space-based data centres with at least 100 terawatts of processing power.

<p>The Artemis II crew made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and shared their experience of flying to the Moon. Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen talked about the challenges they faced on the mission and the awe-inspiring moments they had in space. The crew also shared emotional moments, primarily naming a crater on the Moon after Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. As Fallon shared a photo of Wiseman looking out the window of Orion, and with a complete Earth visible, the astronaut revealed that by the third day, they had started calling their home planet, tiny Earth. Wiseman said, "Koch was looking out the window and called me over, and said, 'you should look at this'. I looked out and saw Earth." He added that the planet looked so small from far off in space that soon they started calling it tiny Earth. For most astronauts, such a moment has often been described as a moment of realisation, also known as the Overview Effect.</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/artemis-ii-astronaut-recalls-the-moment-that-gives-him-chills-and-then-it-was-1776074349461"><strong>Artemis II astronaut recalls the moment that gives him chills — ‘and then it was...’</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The crew admitted that out of everything that was happening, what stood out the most was the views. Glover said the views really got to them. "You could be eating, brushing, or getting ready for bed, and then you look out the window, and you see that Earth out there, it was amazing to see." They also talked about the challenged of being locked in the Orion, their spacecraft, for 10 days. Glover said it was like one minivan, as the crew put on a visual display of how chaotic it got. The Artemis II astronauts also saw the far side of the moon, catching views that no one had ever seen before. Hansen explained that before they actually got to the Moon, they started seeing parts that looked weird. This is when they realised they were looking at the far side.</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-artemis-ii-astronauts-oval-office-nasa-moon-mission-2026-1777526262591"><strong>Trump meets Artemis II crew, jokes about going to space as NASA eyes 2028 Moon landing</strong></a></p>

<h2><strong>Moon crater named after astronaut's late wife</strong></h2><p>Meanwhile, Wiseman revealed it was a crew decision to name a crater on the Moon after his wife. "Christina came up with it (the idea), and Hansen asked me before launch if that was something we should do as a crew. Jeremy gave one of the moving speeches. That was a great honour for my kids; they were in Mission Control at that time, and it was deeply moving for them."</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/artemis-ii-nasa-shares-video-compilation-of-far-side-of-the-moon-an-eclipse-and-a-stunning-eartset-1775617095715"><strong>'Not out of light...': NASA shares video compilation of far side of the Moon, riddled with pockmarks</strong></a></p><h2><strong>Fireball spacecraft falling from space</strong></h2><p>Return to Earth was easily the most difficult part of the journey, Koch said, adding that it is a wild ride and the spacecraft is a literal ball of plasma, and you can see fire outside the window. Wiseman added that the spacecraft was moving at six miles per second and you "only feel the speed when it hits the atmosphere". NASA is now gearing up for the Artemis 3 mission, which is slated for 2027 before the agency lands humans on the Moon in 2028.</p>

Artemis 2 astronauts on Jimmy Fallon: The crew of the iconic NASA mission came on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and talked about some of the best moments they had in space, besides sharing the challenges.

The Artemis II crew made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and shared their experience of flying to the Moon. Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen talked about the challenges they faced on the mission and the awe-inspiring moments they had in space. The crew also shared emotional moments, primarily naming a crater on the Moon after Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. As Fallon shared a photo of Wiseman looking out the window of Orion, and with a complete Earth visible, the astronaut revealed that by the third day, they had started calling their home planet, tiny Earth. Wiseman said, "Koch was looking out the window and called me over, and said, 'you should look at this'. I looked out and saw Earth." He added that the planet looked so small from far off in space that soon they started calling it tiny Earth. For most astronauts, such a moment has often been described as a moment of realisation, also known as the Overview Effect. Also Read: Artemis II astronaut recalls the moment that gives him chills — ‘and then it was...’ The crew admitted that out of everything that was happening, what stood out the most was the views. Glover said the views really got to them. "You could be eating, brushing, or getting ready for bed, and then you look out the window, and you see that Earth out there, it was amazing to see." They also talked about the challenged of being locked in the Orion, their spacecraft, for 10 days. Glover said it was like one minivan, as the crew put on a visual display of how chaotic it got. The Artemis II astronauts also saw the far side of the moon, catching views that no one had ever seen before. Hansen explained that before they actually got to the Moon, they started seeing parts that looked weird. This is when they realised they were looking at the far side.

<p>US President Donald Trump on Thursday (Apr 30) insisted that anyone seeking the US presidency or vice presidency must be "forced to take a Cognitive Examination", arguing it would prevent candidates he deemed unfit from reaching the Oval Office.

The post landed the same week Trump's own mental fitness was the subject of a pointed congressional exchange.

Weather whiplash in North India: Rain and snow cool Kashmir as heatwave grips rest of country

<p>A NASA astronaut captured a stunning sight from the space station. Chris Williams saw a bright streak of light in the upper atmosphere, which slowly split into multiple small fireballs. The brightly lit objects continued to move in one direction, creating a surreal visual spectacle above Earth from space. Williams witnessed this visual over Africa on April 27th at about 10:40 pm GMT from the space station Cupola. Sharing photos and a video on his X handle, he wrote, "I was scanning the sky to try to catch a glimpse of the approaching Progress MS-34 vehicle bringing new supplies. Just as we were passing over West Africa, I saw a bright object directly below us, streaking through the upper atmosphere." He added that its tail &nbsp;grew and then "split apart into a shower of smaller pieces." Williams thinks it was likely some piece of orbital debris or a satellite breaking apart while entering the atmosphere. "It was quite a light show!" he added.</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/mind-blown-see-47-million-galaxies-in-the-largest-3d-map-of-the-universe-each-dot-in-this-photo-is-a-galaxy-1776433522489"><strong>See 47 million galaxies in the largest 3D map of the universe.

One user wrote, "It looks like it was the actual Blok-I Soyuz upper stage from the #ProgressMS34 launch. It reentered over Niger at 22:41 UTC on Apr. 27." Others were simply amazed at the timing. "So cool! Damn timing was spit on to capture video! I've never seen anything like that from a Birdseye view perspective," a comment read, while another added, "Timing is everything. Good shot!"</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/space-telescope-could-crash-any-time-can-a-30mn-robotic-tugboat-save-the-500mn-wonder-1777553597858"><strong>THIS space telescope could crash any time.

"I think you caught a glimpse of the Autobots arriving to Earth," a user commented. Another shared an IMDB link to the 2011 movie, Battle: Los Angeles, which was about an alien invasion, and wrote, "I'VE SEEN THAT!!!" One more user compared it to the same movies, as another wrote, "Fingers crossed for space alien invasion." More people commented on "aliens" and Transformers" arriving. However, it was definitely some space debris, either a rocket or a satellite disintegrating in the upper atmosphere.</p>

A NASA astronaut saw a streak of brightly lit objects entering Earth in a straight line from the space station. There is no official information on what it was. However, the amazing photos and a video led to speculations ranging from a rocket to an alien invasion.

A NASA astronaut captured a stunning sight from the space station. Chris Williams saw a bright streak of light in the upper atmosphere, which slowly split into multiple small fireballs. The brightly lit objects continued to move in one direction, creating a surreal visual spectacle above Earth from space. Williams witnessed this visual over Africa on April 27th at about 10:40 pm GMT from the space station Cupola. Sharing photos and a video on his X handle, he wrote, "I was scanning the sky to try to catch a glimpse of the approaching Progress MS-34 vehicle bringing new supplies. Just as we were passing over West Africa, I saw a bright object directly below us, streaking through the upper atmosphere." He added that its tail grew and then "split apart into a shower of smaller pieces." Williams thinks it was likely some piece of orbital debris or a satellite breaking apart while entering the atmosphere. "It was quite a light show!" he added.

<p>A horrific incident was reported from a Texas asphalt facility where a worker was buried under three feet of hot tar after a tank filled with 50,000 gallons of the substance ruptured. Asphalt went everywhere, as people reported hearing an explosion and the black substance falling down. One man was unaccounted for when emergency responders reached Martin Asphalt at around 3:30 pm on Wednesday after receiving a call about the spill. Alma Alanis, the city of South Houston’s emergency management coordinator, said at a press conference that after they reached the site, one worker was missing, who was later found buried under the piping hot tar. "We have not been able to confirm the identity. Once we do, we will notify the next of kin," Alanis said on Wednesday. Reports suggest that the tar was nearly 100 degrees Celsius when the tank burst, flooding the area and burying one of the men three feet under it, KHOU reported. Martin Midstream Partners LP CFO Sharon Taylor told ABC13 that the body was recovered.

<p>An American scientist convicted in the United States for lying about financial ties to China has resurfaced in Shenzhen, where he is now leading advanced research in brain-computer interfaces, a field seen as both medically transformative and strategically sensitive.

He served a short prison term, followed by house arrest, and was fined. Now based in Shenzhen, Lieber is overseeing a state-backed research initiative focused on embedding electronics into the human brain. The project operates under China’s growing push in neurotechnology and artificial intelligence. “I arrived on April 28, 2025, with a dream and not much more, maybe a couple of bags of clothes,” Lieber said at a Shenzhen conference. “Personally, my own goals are to make Shenzhen a world leader.” Also Read: At least 6 injured after stabbing at Foss High School in Tacoma, Washington The lab, known as i-BRAIN under the Shenzhen Medical Academy of Research and Translation (SMART), is part of a broader ecosystem funded by billions in government investment. It is designed to accelerate research in neural interfaces, which can potentially restore movement in paralyzed patients but also raise military concerns. Analysts say that similar technologies have been studied for defense purposes, including potential applications in enhancing cognitive performance and battlefield awareness. One former US intelligence official said, “China has weaponized against us our own openness and our own efforts for innovation.” The facility reportedly provides Lieber access to advanced semiconductor equipment and large-scale primate research infrastructure, resources far more extensive than those available in US university labs. Researchers say primate testing is often essential before human trials in brain-computer interface development. “With so many hassles with non-human primate research here, to have somebody give you all this support, access to technology, a concentrated center, a national initiative, those are things that are very attractive,” neuroscientist John Donoghue was quoted as saying. https://www.wionews.com/videos/russia-ukraine-war-ukraine-strikes-russia-s-energy-backbone-with-drones-1777572880405/embed SMART and i-BRAIN are part of China’s broader effort to become a global leader in neurotechnology, which has been designated a national strategic priority. The situation has renewed debate in Washington over scientific openness, technology transfer, and national security risks tied to advanced research moving between the US and China.

A new study finds dogs’ brain size shrank by 46% during domestication—but scientists say it doesn’t mean they’re less intelligent.

<p>Loud music playing at a wedding procession killed 140 chickens at a poultry farm in Sultanpur, India. A police complaint has been registered against the DJ operator in the matter. The chickens are said to have died from shock and sudden fear from the music that blared as the wedding group passed the poultry farm. The incident happened on April 25 in Dariyapur village. The farm owner claims that 140 of his birds died from the shock of the loud music. The groom had come with his guests from Ram Bhadra Purwa village in the Kudwar area to wed Babban Vishwakarma's daughter, who is a local in the area. As is the tradition, the procession started making its way through the city to reach the venue. Its path took it past a poultry farm owned by Sabir Ali. He said that the processions crossed his farm at around 9:30 pm. He has alleged that the noise triggered panic amongst his flock of chickens, who started running around, after which they died from the shock. Ali filed a complaint with the police. &nbsp;"The noise was so intense that the chickens got frightened and died," the complaint stated.</p><h2>Poultry farm owner claims DJ music killed 140 of his birds</h2><p>A complaint was registered against Kavi Yadav, the DJ operator, who lives in Parsipur in the Kudwar area.

<p>They say ageing is a privilege, and if a new report is to be believed, you are the happiest after you are deeply thrust into your middle age. According to a survey of Britons commissioned by TePe, people feel happiest and more confident in their late 40s, more specifically, when they are 47. Miranda Pascucci, Head of Clinical Education and Dental Therapist at TePe, says this is because by this time, they have quit toxic environments and are more focused on their health than their appearance. "As people get older, many begin to realise that health isn't just about what's visible,' she explained. It's about how you feel and how well your body functions," she said. A total of 2,000 Britons were asked about the stage of life when health and happiness are at their peak. Nearly half of them said life gets better after 40 because they understand their bodies better at this time.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Survey on the happiest age</strong></h2><p>Nearly 47 per cent said happiness peaks in the late 40s, 32 per cent said they are more likely to choose healthier foods at the time, while the rest said they were more conscious about their health and wellbeing. For most of them, it is about the change in their lifestyle. They don't party and drink as much as they did in their 20s and 30s. More than 28 per cent said such occasions had seen a drastic fall, while 26 per cent said their running around their children or grandchildren kept them active.

Happiness has nothing to do with ageing, and in fact, according to a survey, the best time in our lives comes when we are older, because we are also wiser. This leads us to concentrate on ourselves and end all toxic relationships.
