The US Customs and Border Patrol, the government's armoury in keeping terrorists and arms out of the country's territory, has released ten videos that seem to be moving in strange ways in our skies. Chris Mellon (pictured right) said they were still evidence that UFOs pose a'security threat.' The videos were released on August 9 without alert, a press release, or much in the way of context, and they were only discovered by UFO enthusiasts and online sleuths this week. The videos depict a fighter jet pursuing by an apparently baffling flying orb, as well as something that seems to be a propeller-powered hang-glider, and yet another apparent orb hovering near a parked 16-wheeler truck.

Princess Anne expressed her gratitude on a day today at the Armed Forces Memorial, where she addressed the crowds and laid a wreath on the Armed Forces Memorial to honor the 395 National Servicemen who served on active service from 1947 to 1963.
