Potentially some of the best footage of a UFO ever caught on tape. The entities can even be seen through the front of the craft. A MUST WATCH short video documenting the encounters.

The Most Astounding Fact (Neil deGrasse Tyson)
Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked by a reader of TIME magazine, “What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?” This is his answer.

Science, You’ve Done It!
We are a mighty species. MIT researchers have developed a nanomaterial coating for ketchup bottles (and other hard to pour substances) that solves one of mankind’s most immense problems: How do you get the stuff out of the bottle??
Behold LiquiGlide, and glance into the future of condiments.
No 57’s were tapped in the making of this video.

Ferienne
Your daily “wow” video.
Afiq Omar is back with another stunning crossover of physics and art. His previous work Ferroux used ferrofluids and other chemicals to create dynamic visual effects, haunting and exotic.
This latest video, Ferienne, uses more of those ferrofluids, taken to another level of visual complexity (and a pretty nice beat to boot). The shapes you see here are like peering into the invisible, using the ferrofluids to reveal the shapes of unseen magnetic fields. These are forms that we could never create in any other way, and are so random that each one may never be seen again.
Previously: At this rate ferrofluids are going to become my favorite thing on the internet. Don’t miss these dancing spires of “liquid wow” from a few weeks ago (plus more on the science of ferrofluids).

Aaaand now I’m obsessed with ferrofluids.
Join the club, Radiolab!
Ferrofluids are a colloid, like mayonnaise, except instead of fat suspended in liquid there’s iron-containing particles that can respond to a magnetic field. The particles are so small that they can remain dispersed in the liquid instead of sedimenting, the way that sand sinks and river silt stays suspended. When a magnetic field and some kind of substructure is applied (here, the cones), you get something amazing.
The peaks and valleys that are created are due to the magnetic field preferring the liquid over the air (something called “normal-field instability”). You get liquid dancing in dimensions that you aren’t used to seeing, and you get the illusion of dancing, dynamic solids growing solely from a black lagoon.
I’m gonna need a minute. This was too cool.
