NASA scientists have reported that they’ve successfully tested an engine called the electromagnetic propulsion drive, or the EM Drive, in a vacuum that replicates space. The EM Drive experimental system could take humans to Mars in just 70 days without the need for rocket fuel, and it’s no exaggeration to say that this could change everything. But before we get too excited it’s important to note that these results haven’t been replicated or verified by peer review, so there’s a chance there’s been some kind of error. But so far, despite a thorough attempt to poke holes in the results, the engine seems to hold up. The engine is controversial because it seems to violate one of the fundamental concepts of physics - the conservation of momentum, which states that for something to be propelled forward, it needs some kind of propellant to be pushed out in the opposite direction. But the EM Drive doesn’t require any propellant in order to create thrust, it simply relies on electromagnetic waves. To put it simply, electricity converts into microwaves within the cavity that push against the inside of the device, causing the thruster to accelerate in the opposite direction.

So what does all this mean? If the results can be replicated and verified in space it would change the way we travel in space, and open up access not only to planets in our own Solar System, but in the systems beyond.

UFO Sighting, Manchester England, here is a remarkable set of pictures which shows a UFO formation hovering above Manchester.

Manchester is considered to be a ufo hotpot, acording to Mutual UFO Network (Mufon) there are 29 UFOs spotted in Greater Manchester every year, that’s about one every 2 weeks!
