NEW Mysterious signals coming from distant galaxies could be evidence of advanced technology used by deep-space explorers billions of light-years from Earth, a new study claims. A team of theorists investigating ‘fast radio bursts’ found that these signals, which have perplexed scientists for nearly a decade, could be coming from faraway alien transmitters powering interstellar probes. The researchers determined that leakage from the transmitters could result in brief flashes detected here on Earth, as the sail of the probe, the host planet, its star, and the galaxy all move relative to our planet.

PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: Inside the 'Lost City of the Monkey God' protected from visitors by a flesh-eating disease
For hundreds of years, local rumours among tribes people and Spanish explorers have spoken of a city full of treasure lost somewhere in the Mosquita jungle of Honduras. Last year, a team of explorers found this city. The images were captured by author Douglas Preston, from Massachusetts, who was part of a group of explorers who found the remains of a lost civilisation in the Mosquitia rainforest (left) in Honduras. The team found a cache of ancient sculptures sticking out of the rainforest floor (right). The explorers found the Lost City after trekking through dense jungle inhabited by dangerous venomous pit vipers (inset).

F35B finally fires its guns in the air: Gatling 'pod' can fire 55 rounds per SECOND (but it can't yet aim at a target)
The test near Naval Air Station Patuxent River on February 21st is believed to be the first time the F-35B and C's belly-mounted gun pod (inset) has been fired in flight. Capable of firing 55 rounds per second, the GAU-22 gatling gun is powerful enough to shred vehicles in mere moments. The in air firing of the GAU-22 gatling gun will be seen as a major step forward - even thought the software needed for pilot's hi-tech helmets to aim it accurately is not yet finished.
The lion-headed goddess of war protecting a pharoah: Archaeologists discover 66 statues of Sekhmet buried to ward off evil from the temple of Amenhotep III
Dozens of statues depicting a lion-headed warrior goddess have been unearthed at the temple of Amenhotep III, where they were arranged thousands of years ago to protect the ruler from evil. Researchers with a German archaeological mission in Egypt discovered 66 well-preserved statues of Sekhmet near Luxor, the site of the ancient city Thebes. The statues show the goddess in both the sitting and standing position, holding a sceptre of the papyrus flower and the symbol of life.
Neanderthals discovered antibiotics 50,000 years before us: Caveman 'Sid' is found with medicinal plants stuck between his teeth which he used to treat toothache and stomach pains
Researchers, led by the University of Adelaide, made the discovery after studying dental samples taken from the remains of five Neanderthals found in Spain, Italy and Belgium. The results have helped to shed new light on the diet and self-medicating abilities of of these ancient human cousins, who died out around 40,000 years ago shortly after our own ancestors arrived in Europe after migrating out of Africa. Pictured left is a Neanderthal jaw with small and thin dental tartar that provided usable DNA sequences. Pictured top right are Neanderthal remains from the Spy Cave site, Belgium, used as part of the study. Bottom right is the El Sidrón cave in Spain, where another of the Neanderthal skeletons, dubbed 'Sid', was found.

Is there really life after death? Brain activity is recorded 10 MINUTES after patient dies in an ‘unexplained’ case
Doctors in a Canadian intensive care unit found a patient who continued to release delta wave bursts for ten minutes after they were declared clinically dead. We normally get these waves during a deep sleep. The experiment raises difficult questions about when someone is dead and therefore when it is medically and ethically correct to use them for organ donation.
Unearthing the 'city of the dead': Archaeologists find nearly 200 rare ancient tombs in an area the size of two football fields
Archaeologists have unearthed a tomb cluster containing nearly 200 rare boat-shaped coffins (inset) in China. The tombs are thought date between the late Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) and the mid Warring States Period (475-221 BC). They spread across an area the size of two football fields (main) in Dawan Town's Shuangyuan Village outside of Chengdu.

Once passengers reach their destination, both the the air and ground modules will return to dedicated recharge stations, where they will wait to be summoned by the next customers.
The secret world of the Knights Templar revealed: Caverns used by the shadowy warrior monks 700 years ago are just a few feet inside a rabbit hole
The caves in Shropshire (pictured, right and left), which are barely visible from the surface (inset, bottom) were once a place of pilgrimage and worship for followers of the Knights Templar (top inset), a feared fighting force during the Crusades who built an international power base on their reputation and spoils. The untouched caverns date back to a time when the Knights were prominent before King Philip IV of France, fearful of their power and deeply in their debt, attempted to dismantle the renowned group. Some believe they are up to 700 years old and have been used for safe haven by many groups over the centuries, including pagans.
Caught on film for the first time: Stunning underwater footage shows one of the world's most elusive whales
A species of elusive deep-diving whale has been captured on film for the first time in its underwater environment. The footage was recorded in the coastal waters of the Azores and shows three majestic True's beaked whales surfacing. True´s beaked whales spend 92 per cent of their time underwater, which means sightings are scarce. So far, only seven live sightings of the species have been reported in Macaronesia, a region in the North Atlantic ocean.
Bizarre alien 'megaship' is spotted by the International Space Station camera moments before the lights dim, UFO hunters claim

Bacteria travel in BUBBLES: Scientists discover how tiny microbes hitch rides on raindrops to get around
Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology studied the microbes living in soil and found they travel by attaching themselves to water droplets that land on the ground. When raindrops evaporate, bacteria float up into the atmosphere in tiny bubbles. The discovery could explain how disease and pollution spread across countries.
Is THIS what aliens look like? Stunning 3D images show scientifically-based depictions of life on other worlds
A scientist from Flinders University in Australia has worked with a graphic artist to create images of life on the planets around red dwarf stars, which could harbour alien life. They envisage creatures with transparent flesh to capture as much light as possible and mouths suited to gathering plant life found clinging close to the ground and in cracks between rocks (centre). They would also need thick skin and armour plating to protect them from the elements (top left). Plants themselves may have to protect most of their anatomy underground, with a surface 'bloom' to release its seeds (top right).
