The sponges feed by clinging to muddy sediment on the ocean floor and letting ocean currents wash hapless tiny crustaceans into their harplike limbs. They later captured two specimens of the animal, which is scientifically called Chondrocladia lyra, and took 10 more video observations, reporting their analysis of the new species in October 2012 in the journal Invertebrate Biology. The ice crystals almost act as a mirror for the sunlight, Chavez. This truly bizarre creature had never been observed by human eyes before 2000, when a team from the Monterey Bay Research Aquarium Institute in California took a remotely operated submersible into 2-mile (3.5-km)-deep waters off the central California coast. A photo shows an optical phenomenon that looks similar to science-fiction portrayals of portals to other dimensions. It looks like a harp or a delicate candelabra, but beware to any crustacean that gets too close: The so-called ' harp sponge' will snare and slowly digest you before you know it. In this thought-provoking (and occasionally side-splitting) talk, he tells stories of truly weird science - and makes the case that silliness is critical to boosting public interest in science. As founder of the Ig Nobel awards, Marc Abrahams explores the world's most improbable research. These weird, uniform clouds get their name from Lord Kelvin and Hermann von Helmholtz, who studied the effects of velocity difference between fluids. A science award that makes you laugh, then think.

In either case, it is a concern for safety of flight.This photograph of the recently discovered carnivorous harp sponge, Chondrocladia lyra, was taken in Monterey Canyon, off the coast of California, at a depth of about 11,500 feet (3,500 meters). If it is something else, it is an issue for science. While Lt Graves did not go so far as to pinpoint the origin of the vehicle he witnessed, he concluded: ‘If UAP are foreign drones, it is an urgent national security problem. Burchett said the US had evidence of technology that defies all of our laws of physics, and angrily railed against a cover-up by military officials. They used a funny Youtube video mimicking a news format, with the band. Lt Graves was joined in testifying by former Department of Defence analyst David Charles Grusch, who has alleged the US government has evidence of ‘intact and partially intact’ alien vehicles. Nature, science and religion intermingle curiously here, and the lake is actually. Scientists build on knowledge to explain or predict phenomena engineers design solutions to problems that arise from phenomena.

Later, Lt Graves founded Americans for Safe Aerospace, which he describes as a ‘haven’ for UAP witnesses, including other military personnel and commercial pilots who do not wish to speak out for fear of professional consequences. A sunset, your breath on a cold morning, and the fizz of baking soda and vinegar are all phenomena. ‘They did not have any visible means of lift, control surfaces or propulsion – nothing that resembled normal aircraft with wings, flaps or engines,’ he said. Lt Graves noted that, although a trained engineer, he cannot explain how the UAP, which was between five and 15ft in diameter, was able to fly.
