Reports have re-emerged that suggest a crystal pyramid lies 2,000 metres below the surface of the Bermuda Triangle, which is roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. The reports claim that the findings were presented by a scientist at a press conference held in the Bahamas, but there is no evidence that the scientist actually exists.
Professor Cox has admitted that he believes our search is unlikely to see results because intelligent life destroys itself not long after it evolves.

Planet Earth is back! Lion attacks, monkey thieves and giant dragons star in first trailer for the return of Sir David Attenborough's stunning series
A decade after the first Planet Earth series was filmed, Sir David Attenborough has given a first glimpse of the second season of the hit series - and it looks every bit as stunning as the first. 'Earth illuminated - Planet Earth two, coming to BBC One soon,' he says in the eagerly anticipated trailer. The new series, which begins later this month on BBC One, will have six episodes, each an hour long. Each week will deal with life in a different environment, from mountains, to islands to jungles. Although the locations have not yet been revealed, the The first episode takes us to the Galapagos islands (pictured).
Stunning images of Mars beamed back from Indian space probe reveal the red planet in all its glory
India;s space agency, based in the city of Bengaluru, has released the first full year's worth of data from its Mars probe, showing stunning context for Earth's neighbour and its features. While the instrument aboard ISRO's Mangalyaan probe, called the Mars Colour Camera (MCC), can’t match the level of granular detail from other probes, it has a very wide field of view, enabling it to capture the whole planet in a single shot (left). Pictured bottom right is Mars' moon Phobos transiting the planet.Top right is the Valles Marineris canyon, largest canyon in the solar system.

How the one per cent lived 2,000 years ago: 3D video tour reveals the luxurious villa of a wealthy banker in ancient Pompeii
Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have been working on the project since 2010, in the hopes of documenting the area in Pompeii before it deteriorates further. The researchers uncovered floor surfaces from AD 79, performed detailed studies of the building development through history, cleaned and documented three large wealthy estates, a tavern, a laundry, a bakery and several gardens. Pictured are two examples (left to right) of the appearance of what the house could have looked like, based on photographs and 3D scanning.
The 'Tesla of speedboats': $150,000 electric 40 knot hydrofoil travels 50 miles on one charge - but you need an invitation to get one
Netherlands-based Edorado Marine hopes to bring a fleet of designs to market that echo efforts around the development of electric cars and aeroplanes. Alongside the electric system, the boats use hydrofoils – blades that lift the vessel to reduce drag – to make the boat more efficient. This will allow the boat to travel at speeds of up to 40 knots (46 miles/hour).
Former policeman spots 'UFO with flashing lights' hovering over West Yorkshire
The retired officer, who asked to remain anonymous, made the sighting near Holmfirth, in Kirklees, and immediately contacted renowned ufologist Gary Heseltine (pictured, inset). Mr Heseltine set up a camera to record the footage, which starts with him scanning around for anything unusual. A dim light comes in from the left before an incredibly bright, circular object then appears from the top-right corner of the screen.
EXCLUSIVE: Hunt for ancient 'whistling bullets' in Israel could link Roman ruler to raid on Scottish fort
Researchers from the Trimontium Trust are investigating ancient ruins at Beitar in Israel in the hopes of linking Roman ruler Quintus Lollius Urbicus to a siege in Scotland. Earlier this year, a collection of whistling bullets (pictured) used 1,800 years ago by the Romans to incite fear into their enemies was been found on Burnswark Hill, in Dumfries, Scotland.
China to build the world's biggest space plane by 2020: Aircraft would take 20 tourists 80 miles above Earth
The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology in Beijing designed the plane, and presented its ideas at the International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico last month. China's plane would be a vertical take-off and landing aircraft (pictured inset). The researchers presented two ideas. The first design weighs in at 10 tonnes and has a wingspan of 6 metres. The second design was for a scaled up 100-tonne version, with a 40 foot (12 metre) wingspan, could fly 20 people to 80 miles (130 km), giving 4 minutes of weightlessness (diagram pictured).
Civil War cannonballs surface on South Carolina beach after Hurricane Matthew
About 15 Civil War-era cannonballs surfaced on South Carolina's Folly Beach on Sunday (main). The U.S. Air Force Explosive Team was dispatched to the beach where they safely detonated some of the bombs and took the rest back to the base. The beach is about eight miles down the coast from Fort Sumter, where the Civil War started in 1861 (painting depicting the battle, inset).
'We might be at the end of the rainbow: Explorer who discovered pirate shipwreck says he's FOUND the ship's legendary treasure after searching for 30 years
The undersea explorer who discovered the Whydah Gally (pictured inset as a drawing and as a life-size replica, left), the first authenticated pirate shipwreck in North America, believes he's found where the ship's legendary treasure lies after more than 30 years of poking around the murky waters off Cape Cod. Barry Clifford says his expedition recently located a large metallic mass that he's convinced represents most if not all of the 400,000 coins and other riches believed to be contained on the ship. A bell once belonging to the ship (top right) and a bronze wheel wax (bottom right) were recovered from the ship's wreckage.
Radical ion rocket engine that could 'get to Mars and back on one tank of fuel' set to be tested on the ISS
It’s said that a radical ion engine known as the Neumann Drive could one day go to Mars and back on a single tank of fuel. Now, the technology which has demonstrated efficiency surpassing that of even Nasa’s top efforts is set to undergo testing on the International Space Station. The payload is expected to launch in 2018 and will operate in space for up to a year, allowing researchers to evaluate the system under real conditions. The system was developed by Dr Paddy Neumann, pictured on left, formerly a PhD student at the University of Sydney. On right, the illustration shows how an ion thruster works.

It allows people to join the same virtual space, and do everything from watch a video to be transported to the surface of Mars.
That's one way to get the girl: Bizarre courtship display makes hummingbirds appear to have the head of a purple octopus
The male costa's hummingbird's mating dance is a spirited dance. He gyrates his body around in order to show off its shimmery green back in every angle of the sun's light. And for the grand finale, he flexes the feathers of his mantle until they become a glowing mask of violet (left) - which also resembles metallic octopus.
America's next tank unveiled (and it looks familiar): Bradley design first developed in the 1950s set for hi-tech overhaul
BAE Systems has unveiled its prototype for the massive tank that could one day replace the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The Next Generation Bradley was debuted at the Association of the United States Army annual meeting in Washington, revealing improvements in space, electrical power, and force protection. This new concept is a high-tech upgrade to the decades old design, incorporating targeting sensors and network connectivity and allowing for the addition of future technologies as these systems continue to grow.
Touchdown! Blue Origin passes its 'toughest test yet' as in-flight escape pod blasts off (and even Jeff Bezos is suprised)
Blue Origin and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos streamed the dangerous launch from the launch site in West Texas. The company intentionally triggered an escape in flight at the most stressful point of the flight.The rocket launched (shown left) and the crew capsule ejected from the booster (shown second from left), falling to the ground slowly with parachutes (second from right). The booster then successfully landed too (pictured right), meaning the test was more successful than the crew had hoped.
