Mexican politicians have heard testimony regarding the possible existence of extraterrestrials and have been shown two artefacts that a journalist claimed were the remains of non-human beings. The bodies, which were displayed in cases and had three fingers on each hand and elongated heads, were allegedly recovered in Peru near the ancient Nazca Lines in 2017. However, similar finds in the past have turned out to be the remains of mummified children. Critics have raised concerns about the authenticity of the presentation.

The US Air Force is planning to reorganise its aerospace forces' operations in the western Pacific to counter China's growing military capabilities, according to Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall. The move is part of a broader effort to deter China's increasing military activities in the region and to prepare for a potential conflict. Kendall stated that the US must be ready to "win" a war against China, which has been modernising its air and naval forces and developing a rocket force capable of targeting US strategic military assets. The changes, which are expected to be implemented by January 2024, will involve five teams focusing on organisation, equipment, personnel recruitment and training, readiness, and operational support. China has been transferring its navy's aviation units to its air force as part of its efforts to modernise and strengthen its air-based maritime strike capabilities. It has also been increasing the production and introduction of new aircraft and strengthening its rocket force capabilities, raising concerns in the US.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russian society has "raised a second Hitler" in a powerful speech delivered at the UN General Assembly. Zelensky urged the world to unite against Russian aggression and claimed that Russia was using tactics more catastrophic than nuclear destruction. He argued that while nuclear weapons remain in place, the "mass destruction is gaining its momentum" through the weaponization of food, energy, and children. Zelensky's speech comes ahead of a face-to-face meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at the UN Security Council, where Zelensky is due to speak about Ukraine.

Exclusive: Satellite images show increased activity at nuclear test sites in Russia, China and US

Satellite images have shown that Russia, the United States, and China have expanded and built new facilities at their nuclear test sites in recent years. The images, obtained by CNN, show new tunnels, roads, and storage facilities, as well as increased vehicle traffic at the sites compared to just a few years ago. While there is no evidence to suggest that any of the countries are preparing for an imminent nuclear test, analysts believe that the expansions could spark a race to modernize nuclear weapons testing infrastructure. This comes at a time of deep mistrust between the three major nuclear powers. Experts have warned that the increased activity could accelerate the growing arms race between the US, Russia, and China. They argue that the consequences of this are that vast sums of money will be spent without making the world any safer. The images also show increased activity at the Chinese nuclear test site in Lop Nur, and at the US nuclear test site in Nevada.
