• A former NASA astronaut claims the US government has proof that man is not alone in the universe. Frankly, it sounds like someone in the Army pulled a bit of a practical joke on him.

• No surprises here, but the Radiophonic Workshop’s Doctor Who theme has been declared the best scifi theme on television.

• The latest issue of Wired is edited by J.J. Abrams, and one of the goodies he bestowed upon the magazine is some great concept art of Star Trek‘s ice monster.
