Wreckage on Mars is not a flying saucer — NASA explains

WASHINGTON - New images released by NASA reveal what looks like a crashed flying saucer on the planet Mars belonging to aliens. And while it may appear this way, the space agency says that’s not the case. According to NASA, the agency’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter recently surveyed the parachute that helped the agency’s Perseverance rover land on Mars, along with a cone-shaped backshell that protected the rover in deep space during its descent toward the Martian surface on February 18."The aeroshell, which protected the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter during its plunge through the Martian atmosphere a little over a year ago, bears a pretty strong resemblance to the flying saucers of science fiction," Al Chen, a Mars 2020 Perseverance lead at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), told FOX TV Stations Group.

FBI warns teen boys increasingly targeted in online 'sextortion' schemes

FBI is warning parents that teen boys are increasingly being targeted in online "sextortion" schemes. FBI Boston Division’s Child Exploitation-Human Trafficking Task Force warned parents and caregivers on Wednesday about an increasing number of reports of adults posing as young girls who coerce young boys through social media to produce sexual images and videos and then extort them for money. In the so-called "sextortion" schemes that have recently become more prevalent, adult predators pretending to be young girls contact young males usually between the ages of 14 and 17 online over any platform used to meet and communicate, such as a game, app or social media accounts. They then use "deception and manipulation" to convince the young males to engage in explicit activity over video, which is then secretly recorded by the predator, the FBI says.
