London: A video that was shot from below the BBC building in London showing ‘white dots’ whizzing across the sky, assumed to be UFOs, has created much excitement all over the UK.
People were left wondering if aliens are getting less camera shy and are embracing the paparazzi, reports the Daily Mail.
A whole crowd gathered to watch as three fast-moving white dots streaked across the London skyline, being quickly followed by two similar sized white dots.
After the five white dots whizzed pass, one larger brighter disc-shaped white object, supposedly the mother UFO was spotted moving around slowly in the sky.
The ‘alien visit’ has attracted different opinions, with one set of people saying that the video could be the work of one of London’s many production houses having the expertise and facilities to mock up a convincing video. (ANI)

Swedish school bans ‘him’, ‘her’ to foster equality
London: A pre-school in Sweden has decided to stop referring to children as “him” or “her” in an effort to obtain equality between the sexes from childhood.
The Egalia preschool, in the Sodermalm district of Stockholm made the decision as a part of the national curriculum for Swedish preschools to stop children falling into gender stereotypes.
Staff at the school has tried to shed masculine and feminine references from their speech, including the pronouns him or her – “han” or “hon” in Swedish and instead, they have adopted the genderless “hen”.
The option to implement the rules was underpinned by a theory that society gives boys an unfair edge. (ANI)
