Engineers investigating the mishap found the charredremains of a furry creature near a gnawed-through power cable.Then, nimble-fingered robots that exactly mimic themovements of a human hand could soon be used tohelp decommission nuclear powerstations. Remote-controlled robots with hand-like manipulatorsare used in many situations that are difficult or dangerous forhumans, such as bomb disposal. Then, a Kansas witness atClearwater recalled a UFO incident from the 60s when she and twofamily members had an encounter with a disc-shaped UFO that shot abeam of light inside their vehicle.
