“Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking

so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as

children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just insome of us; it is in all of us, in everyone.”

Marianne Williamson

Introduction I created this publication with the support of Graham Hancock and John Anthony West to share news and information on various disciplines to include paleontology, space sciences, genetics and archaeology. My goal behind sharing this publication has always been very simple, by sharing knowledge we can make our world a better place. Since the beginning of the internet age we havealways heard of the world being drawn together but through my investigations I’ve never found a publication like the Weekly Science Report. This publication is my contribution to bring people together and share ideas and discoveries with my fellow humans. I hope you enjoy this publication and that the content challenges and inspires you!
