Star Wars starr actor Liam Neeson was pictured this week coming out of a bar in Belfast city centre.
Looks like he’s been using Master Yoda’s Cantina Genius trick to good effect.
Stan Romanek announced to the world this week that he has video proof that alien life has visited this planet.
Romanek shot the video back in 2003, he set up the camera to catch what he thought was a peeping tom that was spying on his daughters, but instead believes he’s made history by getting the first video of alien visitors from outer space.
It has taken five years for the video to be finally released to the media, while UFO and film experts studied the tape to see if it was a hoax.
A Denver film expert who checked the video has confirmed that the film has not been tampered with in any way, and the footage show’s either a real alien or a very expensive and elaborate puppet.
Alejandro Rojas of the Mutual UFO Network explained that in the past video has been released without proper analysis, but was hesitant to assert his belief the video showed a genuine extra-terrestrial.
Here is the shocking footage that Romanek caught:
And here it is enhanced to show the visitor more clearly:

25 year old female school teacher Nazira Rafei appeared in a Melbourne court today charged with four counts of willfully committing an indecent act on a child under 16, sexual penetration of a child under her care, supervision or authority and making unwarranted demands.
The unwarranted demand in question is the alleged conversation Ms Rafei had with a 15 year old male pupil of hers that took place in the back of her car. The teacher is alleged to have been lying on top of her student, when she pinched his nipples and instructed him to “treat her like a sex slave”.
Other alleged offences include groping the boy’s genitals, kissing and hugging him. Possibly on the genitals, the report is unclear.
Ms Rafei was bailed to appear in court again in August where her lawyer says she will contest the charges made against her.

In the meantime, I am continuing treatment at Stanford and the great news is I continue to respond well.”

“I’ve been concerned about, oh, who should we deal with the Olympics because they’re not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who’s a good friend of mine. And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened and I thought, ‘Is that Karma, when you’re not nice and the bad things happen to you?’”
