An ancient “flying machine” has been discovered in a cave in Afghanistan, attracting the attention of world leaders including Barack Obama.  The Vimana (a flying machine often described in Sanskrit texts) was discovered by a group of U.S. soldiers on a mission in the desert of Afghanistan. Eight troops who were tasked with removing the machine from the cave have since gone missing following its discovery. The 5,000 year old machine is believed to be protected by an energy barrier, preventing the troops from removing it from the cave.

The Russian air force regularly monitors Luftwaffe Tornados conducting reconnaissance in Syrian airspace, according to a Lieutenant-General of the German Air Force, saying that both sides act professionally to prevent incidents.

Ukrainian authorities have said that the country needs to prepare for an imminent war between Russia and Ukraine, and have appealed to the international community to support the country militarily.

Why?
