Just a few weeks after 13 bald eagles  were found dead in nearby Maryland, four more dying birds were unable to be saved in rural Delaware. Authorities remain puzzled as to what is killing the birds, which are the national symbol of the US. However there was some good news as around the same time, two eaglets hatched in DC. RT reports: Workers with the Tri-State Bird Rescue, a private nonprofit based in the area, found one dead eagle on the road near Dagsboro in Delaware’s Sussex County on Sunday. Three more birds were found in a nearby field and could not be revived.

A NASA insider has claimed that the agency are receiving numerous radio transmissions from the center of the Earth – which some experts believe may originate from an intelligent highly advanced life-form.  “It’s clear that someone or something is communicating with us,” said the NASA source. “And whoever it is has the technology to send signals to the surface through hundreds of miles of soil and rock.“ Scientists first detected the signals with the aid of sophisticated satellites, and transmissions have been received at intermittent intervals ever since, the source said.

Officials working at the Yellowstone supervolcano site have said that an ominous “event” may soon occur at the volcano, which may include a swarm of earthquakes, or large earthquake in the region.  According to an email from the Yellowstone Geology Unit: “No eruption threat is imminent rather a possible earthquake swarm (or single larger event) may be coming soon.” “These could very well be “earthquake lights”, which are a sign of geologic stress, which releases a form of plasma light energy due to stresses in the ground.” According to the maker of the video: One of my viewers, Morgan Johns

Rumors are circulating about a Chinese space station is being built deep in Argentina’s Patagonia region.  Beijing and Buenos Aires signed a deal in 2012 to build the “Deep Space Station”, due to be completed by the end of 2016. While both countries maintain that “the ground station in the Southern Hemisphere to support the program for moon exploration and other space activities,” there is a concern that the Chinese facility may harbour military ambitions.

NASA is planning to start “the biggest man-made fire ever in space” aboard an unmanned Orbital ATK Cygnus cargo vehicle. In an experiment known as Saffire scientists want to find out how fire spreads in near-zero gravity in a bid to keep astronauts safe. International Business Times reports: The study is being developed by engineers at Nasa’s Glenn Research Centre, Ohio, and will be lit after the cargo vehicle delivers supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). The idea is to monitor the way that flames spread in microgravity so that future disasters can be avoided.
