A newly declassified video by the U.S. Defence Department shows Navy F-18 fighter jets apparently having a close encounter with an unidentified flying object. The video is 35 seconds long and in it, you can hear the two pilots discussing the fast-moving oval-shaped aircraft. “Oh my gosh, dude,” said one pilot during the 2015 incident, which happened along the East coast.  “Wow! What is that, man?” said another pilot. “Look at that flying!” The video was released by a private company, To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science. In December, the Pentagon acknowledged it ran a program to study UFOs. This is the third such video released in the last three months.

Tracks to nowhere: Back-to-back winter storms hitting New Jersey have helped uncover famed abandoned train tracks confined to a remote stretch of a beach in Cape May County. The famed “ghost tracks” at Higbee Beach have drawn a number of visitors and photographers since their re-emergence. NJ.com reports the latest section to be uncovered on the bay beach in Lower Township is more intact and level than the segment that appeared last summer. The ghost tracks are all that remains of a rail line that once served as support for sand mining and munitions testing facilities during the First World War. The tracks are currently only visible at low tide.

Hillary Clinton: U.S. did not ’deserve’ Trump presidency: Hillary Clinton told an audience in India that the United States did not “deserve” Donald Trump’s presidency and these are “perilous times.” The 2016 Democratic presidential candidate spoke over the weekend at a conference in Mumbai. Clinton said the Republican president has “quite an affinity for dictators” and said Trump “really likes their authoritarian posturing and behaviour.” But she said she thinks it’s “more than that” with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia. Clinton was critical of the reality campaign tactics of her opponent and questioned whether she should have provided more entertainment to voters who responded to Trump’s brash style. She also believes former FBI director James Comey’s Oct. 28, 2016, letter to Congress about her private email server cost her support from white women voters.
