Dallas, Texas: Viral video of squid-shaped 'UFO' sparks debate (Pixabay - representational image) Take a look: In the comment section, many speculated that the footage is not real and is AI-generated. Some said it might be something else, and not a UFO. could not independently verify the incident. 'Bro that was my drone malfunctioned,' one user joked. 'Weird. They don't sell that kind of fireworks in Texas,' wrote one user, while another said, 'Ai af'. 'Looks fake af,' one user said, while another wrote, 'The government is trolling us'. 'Since no one seems to be explaining this I will, It's called the "Jelly fish / Twilight effect" during a rocket launch,' claimed a user. Houston has had the highest UFO sightings in Texas history A list compiled by tracker revealed that Houston has had the most UFO sightings in Texas history. Since 1995, Houston has recorded as many as 435 UFO sightings. Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, and El Paso are other Texas locations with high UFO sightings. Stacker opened up about America's "alien obsession," and about compiling the information to find out the top ten places in each state with the highest UFO sightings. It said, "Stacker compiled a ranking of cities with the most UFO sightings in Florida using data from the National UFO Reporting Center. Data encompasses all reports of UFO sightings dating back to 1995. Sightings with locations listed across multiple cities were not included in this analysis. For now, the U.S. government's official stance is that extraterrestrial life does not exist. But if the last century is any indicator, that will do little to curb America's alien obsession." Stacker explained, 'UAP and UFO sightings in the U.S. are particularly concentrated in the West, partially because of the abundance of dark sky locations, where it's easier to spot objects with less light pollution. Those who believe they've seen something otherworldly can report it to the National UFO Reporting Center, which relies on volunteers to separate fact from fiction.'

Seeds of seabuckthorn, Himalayan buckwheat part of experiment on ISS
Reuters NASA's SpaceX Crew-11 crew members (File photo) Seeds of seabuckthorn and buckwheat grown in the cold desert of Ladakh are part of the experiments on board the International Space Station flown by NASA's Crew-11 mission. Seeds procured from 11 nations across five continents are part of the study spearheaded by US-based bioastronautics firm Jaguar Space, which plans to expose the seeds to microgravity conditions for a week. The seeds are part of the "Emerging Space Nation's Space for Agriculture & Agriculture for Space" payload that flew to the ISS along with NASA's Crew-11, which lifted off from Florida on Friday and docked onto the orbital lab on seeds will be brought back by the Crew-10, which is expected to return to Earth later this month. The seeds grown in Ladakh were sourced by Bengaluru-based space start-up Protoplanet. "We will study how the seeds react to micro-gravity conditions and their potential use as a food source for long-duration space missions," Siddharth Pandey, Director, Protoplanet, told stated that Protoplanet has contributed sea buckthorn and Himalayan tartary, nutrient-rich plants native to high-altitude regions. The Himalayan tartary is a variety of buckwheat that is nutrient-rich and return from space, the seeds will be studied by Indian to Jaguar Space, the World Seeds study examines how seeds react to the unique stresses of the space environment before they begin to grow, focusing on fundamental processes such as the activation of genes and metabolic pathways essential for germination. This experiment explores the potential of previously unexamined species to contribute to future space agriculture initiatives. Seeds from the Maldives, Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nigeria, Armenia, Egypt, Pakistan and Nigeria are part of the experiment. "Beyond its scientific potential to advance research on climate resilience and global food security, the World Seeds payload represents a meaningful step toward ensuring that, as humanity becomes a spacefaring civilization, the millennia-old knowledge, biodiversity, and cultural heritage of communities around the world are carried forward as an essential part of that journey," said Dr Luis Zea, Founder of Jaguar Space.
