Pope Benedict XVI concluded his four-day State visit to Britain with a two-hour Mass at Cofton Park to beatify 19th Century Cardinal John Henry Newman, an event which attracted more than 50,000 people. 

The Pope had two more duties to attend to after the Mass, but first drove down Hagley Road, Birmingham in his Popemobile, so that as many local people would have a chance to see him as possible.

Chelsea moved four points clear at the top of the table yesterday when they beat Wolves and watched Everton overturn Manchester United, and with the other five Premiership games on today the emphasis seemed to be on that illusive fourth spot. 

Manchester City and Liverpool are two of the favorites to take fourth and they faced off at The City of Manchester Stadium. Instead of a hard-fought game with goals, cards, chances and excitement, it was a drab affair with very little to comment on. The game ended 0-0 and both of these teams shared points in a game that neither wanted to lose.

Many people claim to have developed unusual abilities after alleged alien abductions (or as some prefer to call it "alien contact"), but quite often they are not aware that any contact has occurred until they undergo hypnosis. 

There are some who question the ability of hypnosis to recall past events, even though hypnosis has been proven to reveal memories that have been lost or forgotten many years ago.

Whilst most Ufologists would like to see more UFO sightings getting a mention in the mainstream media, there is always some concern on how the reports are presented. In the past, TV stations and Newspapers have never been able to resist smiling or making some joke when providing the information. 

The reason for the mainstream media taking an interest today is the result of 24 files being released by the MOD, containing some 6,000 pages of documentation covering UFO reports for the period 1994-2000.
