Pentagon Denies Congressman's Claim Of Iranian 'Mothership' Launching Drones Off US Coast

"There is not any truth to that," Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters Wednesday afternoon, hours after Republican Congressman Jefferson Van Drew of New Jersey claimed on Fox News that Iranian drones were flying over New Jersey skies.

Singh said: "There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States ... and there is no so-called 'mothership' launching drones towards the United States."

"They were not US military drones," she continued, adding, "These are not drones or activities from a foreign entity or foreign adversary."

Mystery drone invasion sparks 'state of emergency' in New Jersey with warning Iranian mothership lurks offshore

A mysterious drone invasion in New Jersey has sparked calls for a 'state of emergency' as officials suggested they are coming from an Iranian 'mothership' off the East Coast.

Republican Rep Jeff Van Drew said Wednesday that Iran launched the vessel 'probably about a month ago' after making a deal with China 'to purchase drones, a mothership and other technologies.' 

'These drones should be shot down,' he told FOX News, adding that 'the military is on full alert with this.' 

However, the Pentagon rushed to claim there is no evidence the drones are the work of an adversary and denied there's an Iranian 'mothership' lurking off the coast.

Colorectal cancer expert reveals five everyday things he'd never do due to health fears

Not use is facial wet wipes.

This is because he claims the wipes, used to remove make-up and dirt, have 'chemicals in them [which] can destroy your skin'. 'Why do it?' he quips. 

One NIH study examining 178 facial wipes purchased from four large US retailers, identified a total of 485 ingredients in the products. 

It was found the average facial wet wipe contained 16.7 ingredients.

The researchers noted that 'many potential allergens' are present in facial wet wipes, including fragrances, preservatives, synthetic liquids, and cleansing agents.

'A woman ahead of her time': Utah trailblazer (pharmaceuticals) Martha Hughes Cannon honored in DC

Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson — a state senator herself when she championed the legislation — said the idea was inspired by a lack of real women represented in history. Utah leaders wanted to showcase a real person who made a societal impact, which led them to a Utah health and political legend at the beginning of statehood.

She also became a vocal leader in Utah's suffrage movement, especially after Congress removed Utah women's right to vote in 1887.

After helping to ensure women had the right to vote when Utah gained statehood, she ran and became the first woman to serve as a state senator in the U.S., defeating her husband during the 1896 election.

"Martha is both a real woman and a representation of who we are and what we value as Utahns and Americans," Henderson said during Wednesday's ceremony. "Martha means something to all of us."

About 4 p.m. Monday, Sandy police were called to Tim Dahle Mazda Southtowne, 10785 S. Auto Mall Drive, where Michael Lee Murray, 35, had purchased a car from the dealership earlier in the day but brought it back several hours later, according to a police booking affidavit.

Subaru Outback owner drove car into dealership

An enraged customer was caught on camera purposely plowing his new Subaru into a Utah car dealership on Monday.

Michael Lee Murray, 35, was apparently upset after he bought the Subaru Outback from the Tim Dale Mazda Southtowne dealership in Sandy earlier that day - only to find what he said were mechanical issues with the vehicle, according to Fox 13.

He returned to the dealership hours later demanding his money back and asking to return the vehicle, telling police in the aftermath that the store 'sold him a lemon and they would not give him his money back,' Newsweek reports.

Salesmen then explained that the sales contract for the Subaru Outback was 'as is,' and would therefore not give him a refund.

Murray was soon taken into custody and booked at the Salt Lake County Jail.

He was charged with felony criminal mischief, and misdemeanors for reckless endangerment and economic interruption.

Murray was then released from jail on Tuesday.

Doctors warn cooking oil used by millions may be fueling explosion of colon cancers in young people

Certain types of cooking oils may be fueling a surge of colon cancers in young Americans, a government-funded study suggests.

Consuming large amounts of seed oils – which include sunflower, canola, corn and grapeseed – has long been linked to inflammation in the body.

But now a study analyzing the tumors of more than 80 patients with colon cancer has found they may also raise the risk of one of the fastest-growing forms of the disease. 

Researchers found patients' tumors had high levels of bioactive lipids, microscopic fatty compounds produced when the body breaks down seed oils.

Vatican to open five ‘sacred portals’ for first time in quarter of a century

Pope Francis is preparing to unbrick and open five ‘sacred portals’ symbolising the doorway to salvation.

The doors have not been opened for 25 years, since the turn of the Millennium, so may well be a little rusty.

This year, for the first time, one of the doors will be opened in a prison, as a ‘sign inviting prisoners to look to the future with hope’, the Pope said in his bull of indiction announcing this year’s ceremony.

The tradition dates back to 1300, and the door openings themselves follow a ritual first carried out in 1423.

They mark ‘Jubilee’ years, a concept dating back to the Old Testament when sinners could see their sins forgiven.

2025 is one such year, so if you’ve got something on your mind, it could be a good time to confess.
