The record for the shortest day was just broken by Earth, which has recently started rotating more quickly

On June 29, 2022, something extraordinary happened to the rate of spin of planet Earth. However, it probably had such a minuscule impact on your life that you can be forgiven for not even noticing. Believe it or not, but you actually gained an extra 1.59 milliseconds to your day. We hope you spent it wisely! According to TimeAndDate.com, on that day, our planet, as far as scientists can tell, set a new record for the quickest time to complete one rotation. But what? Isn’t the Earth’s day exactly 24 hours? Actually, no, well, not quite. The first thing to note is that there are actually “kinds” of days, depending on your definition. The first, a solar day, is a period of 24 hours during which the Earth rotates so that the Sun appears at the same location in the sky. However, a sidereal day, which is defined as 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.091 seconds, is the time it takes for Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis with respect to distant stars....

The search for a “alien spaceship that hit Earth and is laying at the bottom of the sea” has started.

Off the coast of Australia, search operations have started for a “crashed extraterrestrial space craft.” Astrophysicist Avi Loeb is sure that a meteor that crashed in 2014 came from outside our solar system and had ET technology. The £1.9 million operation to recover the “UFO” that is submerged in the Pacific Ocean has been completely financed. According to NASA, the meteor traveled through the sky close to Papua New Guinea at a speed of more than 100,000 miles per hour before colliding with the Earth near Manus Island. According to US Space Command authorities, the meteor, which was about 1.5 feet wide, “was certainly an interstellar object.” Loeb said: “Our discovery of an interstellar meteor heralds a new re search frontier. “The fundamental question is whether any interstellar meteor might indicate a composition that is unambiguously artificial in origin. Better still, maybe certain technical elements might withstand the impact....
