Time for UFO truth
UFO sightings days.
More and more of us seem to have a tale of a close encounter to tell.
But most reports are quickly ruled a case of mistaken identity.
And the more outlandish are belittled as the work of loonies and weirdos.
But one thing is for sure – the evidence is stacking up.
Now former US colonel insists: “We are not alone.”
He claims a UFO fired beams at RAF Bentwaters airbase in Suffolk while he was deputy base commander.
But his detailed account into the 1980 mystery was dismissed by defence chiefs. are 10

Of course, many of these incidents can be explained away.
But it would be foolish to dismiss them all. Is it really possible that not a single one is genuine?
Ultimately we won’t have an answer until we start taking reports like this seriously.
That means taking a proper scientific look into it.
We all deserve to know the whether it is out there or not. truth

BRITISH film hunk Henry Cavill is set to return to his role as Superman.

Here JAMES MOORE
reveals 15 fascinating facts about the character…
THE superhero was created by two Americans, writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster and first appeared in Action Comics #1, on June 18, 1938. They sold the idea for just $130 (£105).
HE was the third version of Superman they’d toyed with. Their first ‘Super-man’ was a bald villain with mind-control powers. But it would be Superman’s arch-enemy Lex Luthor who would end up with the smooth pate.
SUPERMAN’S original name on his home planet Krypton was Kal-el. He was sent to Earth from the doomed planet, where he would develop superhero powers and become Superman while working as reporter Clark Kent for The Daily Planet.
ORIGINALLY “faster than a speeding bullet” Superman couldn’t fly – only jump over buildings – and the idea of green kryptonite weakening his powers wasn’t devised until the 1940s radio show.
SUPERMAN’S tight-fitting costume – often lampooned as wearing underpants outside his clothes – was inspired by wrestlers. As well as standing for Superman, the ‘S’ on his shield is the Kryptonian symbol for hope.
IN the comics Superman was once bitten by Dracula who exploded because the super hero is fuelled by the sun. In another storyline Superman teams up with boxer Muhammad Ali to fight off aliens.
THE first Superman film was released in 1948 starring US actor Kirk Alyn, while fellow
American George Reeves played the part in a hit 1950s TV series.
COSTING £44million, the 1978 Superman movie was then the most expensive made and starred Christopher Reeve as the superhero, after Robert Redford turned down the part.
TO bulk up, Reeve trained with British bodybuilder Dave Prowse, who played Darth Vader in Star Wars.
REEVE was left paralysed by a 1995 riding accident and died in 2004, aged 52. Margot Kidder, who played Superman’s love interest, Lois Lane, in the movie died in 2018 aged 69.
THE film’s title music was released as a single. The movie employed 1,000 crew and included ground-breaking special effects including huge-scale models and complicated rigging to make Superman appear to fly.
THE £250million box office hit spawned three sequels with Reeve as well as 2006’s Superman Returns starring Brandon Routh.
Spinoffs include the 1984 Supergirl movie and TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman and Smallville.
HENRY Cavill originally auditioned for the abandoned film Superman: Flyby. He was turned down.
CALLED “Fat Cavill” by bullies at school, the actor actually had to eat 5,000 calories a day while training to play the musclebound hero thanks to his intense, daily two-and-a-half hour workouts.
