NASA has previously announced that it will create a panel of experts to study “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP), aka UFOs – while saying it does not believe they are “of extraterrestrial origin”. (Of course, NASA.)
Now the space agency has unveiled the 16-member panel that will focus on these unclassified observations, chaired by David Spergel, former director of astrophysics at Princeton University. Other members include Anamaria Berea, a researcher affiliated with the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Life) Institute in California; retired NASA astronaut and test pilot Scott Kelly; and astrophysicists, science journalists and more.
The US government actually operates two UFO probe tracks. There is also a Pentagon group that investigates UAPs reported by military pilots and investigated by US defense and intelligence officials.

But does he only come to Europe?
When the European Parliament voted to make USB-C the common charging standard in the region, it was obvious that Apple was going to be the company most affected by the mandate. While the tech giant already has iPad models with USB-C ports, its iPhones still require a Lightning connector. Now, in an interview at The Wall Street JournalDuring Apple’s Tech Live event, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Global Marketing Greg Joswiak confirmed that the tech giant will switch to USB-C connectors to comply with EU regulations . “We have no choice, as we do around the world, but to comply with local laws,” Joswiak said. However, he did not say whether Apple was only making a different variant for the European market while continuing to sell phones with Lightning connectors elsewhere.

It’s always weird, it’s always chaotic.
Bayonet 3 is full of classic Bayonetta craziness, all amped up by a degree. The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been, the enemies are absolutely massive, Bayonetta’s magic is insanely powerful, her outfits are exceptional, and the fights just keep coming. She’s still a witch with gun shoes, but new abilities mean she can transform into hybrid demons, adding even more dimensions to epic battles. It’s still very silly, very memorable, and for now, it’s a Nintendo Switch exclusive. Keep reading for the full commentary.

The S1 Hoonitron is (more) kind to the planet.
Rally driver Ken Block has released his first Gymkhana video with an electric car – and this time around the vehicle is almost as important as the horn. The “Electrikhana” sees Block drifting around the landmarks of Las Vegas in a one-of-a-kind Audi S1 Hoonitron. It borrows design cues from the acclaimed Sport Quattro S1 while using a twin-motor system. Think of it as a bloated cousin to the E-tron GT. Along with tire drift and smoke, it’s another kind of sales pitch for electric cars. Initially associated with environmentally conscious drivers, they are becoming the machines of choice for performance enthusiasts thanks to their instant torque and supercar-like low-end acceleration.

DALL-E artwork may soon be widely distributed online.
Shutterstock has expanded its agreement with OpenAI and will begin selling stock images built using the DALL-E 2 AI generator.

The company also plans to pay royalties to artists when the AI uses their work. The agreement represents one of the first practical uses of the technology.
