The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a mystery in the sky. A mysterious object flying over Denver nearly caused a mid-air collision Monday evening, 9Wants to Know has learned.
As far as investigators know, the mystery object did not show up on radar Monday.
Investigators believe this object, whatever it is, could pose a serious safety hazard to planes.
Radio transmissions from LiveATC.com confirm a nervous-sounding pilot reported a strange object at 5:17 p.m. Monday.
The pilot is heard telling air traffic control: "A remote controlled aircraft, or what? Something just went by the other way ... About 20 to 30 seconds ago. It was like a large remote-controlled aircraft.
NBC’s America’s Got Talent premiered lower in the ratings this year despite the high-profile addition of Howard Stern as the show’s new judge.
Monday’s two-hour Got Talent returned to 10.3 million viewers and a 3.6 rating, down 16 percent from last year. EW’s Ken Tucker suggested Stern’s performance was almost too nice.
Before everybody points fingers at Stern, however, here’s a big mitigating factor: Last year Got Talent premiered at the very end of May and was paired with The Voice. This year, Got Talent faced a full boat of competition from rival networks, so the talent competition might have returned lower in the ratings due to the scheduling change. NBC points out last night’s rating matches Got Talent‘s performance two years ago. At 10 p.m., NBC’s Smash (6.1 million, 1.8) finale was steady.
Britney Spears may have just closed a $15 million dollar deal to become part of 'The X Factor' this fall as a judge, but it looks like the pop star isn't willing to fork over a few bucks for something as simple as a manicure.
The singer, 30, showed up to the Fox Upfront event in New York City on Monday sporting a body-hugging purple dress - and some very bloody cuticles.
Spears, who has admitted to nervously biting her nails in the past, might have been feeling the pressure prior to Monday's announcement that she was joining the network's talent competition show.
Embroiled in a legal battle over the custody of his dog, a Brooklyn man is offering everything from a $250 game of fetch with his beloved puggle to limited edition art pieces to raise money for his depleted legal fund.
Manhattan art gallery employee Craig Dershowitz, 34, has already burned through $60,000 of his own savings in the cross-country court battle for the return of Knuckles, who is one-quarter pug and three-quarters beagle. Dershowitz’s ex-girlfriend, wardrobe stylist Sarah Brega, currently has the dog in her home in California.
From your child’s playroom to the streets fo Sydney, Australia, LEGO is always challenging the human imagination to produce new and remarkable creations. South Korea decided to celebrate LEGO Corporation’s 80th birthday in a huge way — by erecting a record-setting “skyscraper” created from thousands of those tiny plastic bricks.
It took 4,000 children and five days to construct this 105 ft. high building in Seoul, South Korea. Over 500,000 bricks were used in the making of the tower, which was constructed in front of Seoul’s Olympic Stadium. Danish Crown Prince Frederik laid the topping brick when the structure was revealed on Sunday, appropriately (LEGO was founded in Denmark). The colorful tower drew a large crowd, with 30,000 people present at its unveiling. The new tower beat the previous world record of 103 feet, 8 inches, which was set in France.
Emmelyn Roettger is a genius. The 3-year-old, with an IQ of 135, is currently the youngest member ever admitted to Mensa, and that feat led Emme and her parents to the TODAY Show this morning, where she was expected to be adorable and brilliant for the audience.
She was both. But mostly she was 3 years old. And she taught Natalie Morales something about live television and toddlers.
A controversial ordinance to ban "unauthorized" camping in the city of Denver--a measure that specifically targets homeless people sleeping on the streets and one that critics say simply criminalizes homelessness--was approved by the Denver City Council by a 9-4 vote Monday night.
In two weeks, once the ban goes into effect the city's homeless can continue to sleep on public property, however it will be illegal for them to sleep in sleeping bags, tents, or other constructed outdoor shelters anywhere where camping is unauthorized, like: alleys, sidewalks, public city parks or outdoor malls. Namely, where some of the city's homeless bed down for the night.

Angelina Jolie certainly does not mess around when it comes to boys' toys.
Jolie forked over almost $1.6 million on a helicopter and flying lessons for fiance Brad Pitt -- and it is not even his birthday.
A source said of the movie star couple: "They've had a helicopter pad installed in the grounds of their south of France home, Chateau Miraval, so Ange thought it would be nice to buy Brad a helicopter as a surprise present."
The source added: "But even though Brad has his private pilot's license, he still needs to take a few flying lessons, which he'll start straight away."

Let's talk about sex. What do you want to know?
My name is Kimberly and I am going to college studying to be a sex therapist. I would love to hear questions about sex, stories about your experiences, or have a conversation of your beliefs or worries. I am completely nonjudgmental and there is no such thing as a stupid question. I am NOT a doctor...yet.. so please do not assume I have all of the answers.
A fourth masseur has come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against John Travolta.
Former Peninsula Hotel employee Michael Caputo tells the New York Daily News the actor, 58, was placed on the swanky hotel spa's blacklist for over three years because of "inappropriate behavior" around spa staff.
"Travolta would always request a man for his massage, but after a while no one would take him," Caputo shares. "It got to the point where they couldn't find any men to take him, and they had to ban him."
According to Caputo, male employees accused the star of "removing his towel, grinding against the massage table and lifting his butt in the air."
"These are signs to a massage therapist he was trying to see how much he could get away with," the former masseur explains. "They went to management."
Following a complaint to hotel officials, Caputo says Travolta was eventually removed from the blacklist.
There's a time and a place for sex, and latest research suggests for women their desire peaks at 11pm on a Saturday night - the venue TBC.
The finding is just of the statistics to emerge from a nationwide study investigating the truth behind female libido.
Despite more than than three quarters of the UK being satisfied with their sex lives, a large proportion blamed hectic work schedules and lack of free time for dampening the mood.

Putting on nail polish while crusing down I-25? Mom trimmng her chin stubble while at a red light? These are just a couple of obscene spottings while driving around town!
Vidal Sassoon, whose mother had a premonition that he would become a hairdresser and steered him to an apprenticeship in a London shop when he was 14, setting him on the path that led to his changing the way women wore and cared for their hair, died on Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 84.
Hillary Clinton stated that she's at a point in her life where she no longers feels it necessary to wear make-up. "I feel so relieved to be at the stage I'm at in my life right now. Because you know if I want to wear my glasses I'm wearing my glasses. If I want to wear my hair back I'm pulling my hair back. You know at some point it's just not something that deserves a lot of time and attention. And if others want to worry about it, I let them do the worrying for a change."
John Travolta's lawyer is lashing out at the second "anonymous" male masseur who's accused the actor of sexual harassment -- calling the 2nd claim "just as absurd and ridiculous as the first one."
Travolta's powerhouse attorney, Marty Singer, just released a statement in response to a report that a second accuser filed legal docs claiming Travolta grabbed his genitals and masturbated during a massage session on January 28th at an unidentified Atlanta spa resort.
Singer calls the new allegations "absurd and fictional" ... and says they're "just as fabricated" as the claims made by John Doe #1 in the initial lawsuit filed May 4th.
We told you first here on INC, four innocent children, ages 4, 5, 6, and 7, were strapped to the hood of a moving car. They're okay, but Fort Wayne Police say the adults behind the wheel will face some serious charges.
Indiana’s NewsCenter had a chance to speak with the children after the incident. They told us the adults asked if they wanted to ride on the hood of the car and they said, "yes, because it sounded like fun.”
Yogurt isn’t just slimming — it could also feed your sexual prowess.
At least that’s the theory behind data compiled by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and featured in this month’s Scientific American.
Last summer, the MIT team wanted to test the link between eating yogurt and obesity, the science magazine reported. The team fed groups of 40 male mice and 40 female mice with either a high-fat, low-nutrient diet or a diet more typical of rodents.
In addition, some of the mice were also fed vanilla-flavored yogurt.
But while the team tried to observe obesity, “the most entertaining aspects of all this were things we didn’t anticipate,” cancer biologist Susan Erdman told Scientific American.
Male mice developed testicles that were 5% heavier than mice that were only fed regular food, and 15% heavier than mice fed only junk food.
Looks like there’s no love lost between Rihanna and the producers over at “Saturday Night Live.” According to TMZ, RiRi called in sick just before dress rehearsal, which is done before a live studio audience just before the actual show.
SNL’s head honcho, Lorne Michaels, who’s known as a stickler for dress rehearsal attendance, was upset when Rihanna bailed at the last minute. It didn’t help matters when Rihanna showed up later, looking fit as a fiddle.
Sources close to Rihanna say she attended every rehearsal, except the dress rehearsal because she was feeling under the weather. A doctor came RiRi’s dressing room and gave the pop star a shot of penicillin.
A rep for the singer tells TMZ, “Rihanna was sick and needed to save her voice for the live show.”
Pulling in more than $200 million in America, this makes it the highest grossing film debut of all time, quite an accomplishment for a movie that had already been available in other parts of the world for almost two weeks. This record follows another record and near-record; the movie pulled in the second highest day take of all time, with $80.5 million, and got the highest Saturday take of all time with $69.7 million.
This puts the movie on roughly $642 million worldwide (so far), which is an amazing number and must make Disney very happy indeed. It makes The Avengers the 55th highest grossing film of all time, larger than the five films that led up to it – combined. With a bit of headwind and enough people coming back to see the movie a second time, this could become the highest earning Disney film of all time and could even surpass The Dark Knight as the highest earning superhero film. Avatar still clings to the title of top earner of all time, sitting on a nice pile of money $2.7 billion dollars high.
An NBA playoff game in Denver was interrupted Sunday when a woman wandered onto the court late in the first half of the contest.
Video showed the woman walking onto the court as the Denver Nuggets were battling the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series at the Pepsi Center.
The woman, who didn't make any contact with the players, was quickly taken off the court by security personnel.
TNT reported the woman is known to the Nuggets as a fan who has a history of stalking or following players, and had been banned from the arena.
Police charged the woman with trespassing, the broadcaster said.
Not too long ago, the record for best opening weekend was held by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which managed to pull in $169.2 million. Today, it’s clear that The Avengers has blown it out of the water.

The Avengers posts record opening day at box office
Disney's The Avengers has posted the second biggest opening day at the Australian box office in history.
The film, which brings together several Marvel characters featured in recent blockbusters including Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans) and The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), grossed $6,003,882. That result places it second only to the final film in the Harry Potter series - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
The film is only released in the US on May 4 but other overseas territories are already reporting strong box office results such as France ($US3 million), Philippines ($US1.3 million), Taiwan ($US1.2 million) and New Zealand ($US800,000).
The Avengers is the first Marvel film to be released by Disney after the end of its previous distribution relationship with Paramount.
We are well aware that many of our readers have had a tough time dealing with Best Buy employees. But we're pretty sure that being outed on Facebook during the process of a phone servicing session pretty much takes the "You're Terrible With Customers" cake.
A man in Denver tells 7 News there that he brought in a cellphone to Best Buy to get fixed. He claims he was given a new phone shortly after bringing in the faulty model, and his Facebook status subsequently read, "I am gay, I'm coming out."
But wait a minute a gosh darn minute! He's straight, and he says didn't post that. He says he was logged in to Facebook when he handed over the phone he'd been having trouble with.
"The phone just started ringing constantly after that, from ex-spouse to friends," he told 7 News. "It's totally not a joke. It just put a bad taste in my mouth."
An Aurora elementary school student has been suspended for three days after quoting this line from an LMFAO song: “I’m sexy and I know it.”“I only just said the song,” D’Avonte Meadows told 7NEWS. “I’m sexy and I know it.”Forms from the school indicate the 1st grader was suspended for sexual harassment, which the school district’s discipline code reads “…must have negative affects of the learning or work of others.”
D’Avonte said he and the girl were standing in the lunch line when he used the song lyric
Next to Life Day, there is perhaps no more enjoyable holiday in the Star Wars universe than May 4, which transforms just another spot on the calendar into the Jedi greeting "May the Force be with you."
And so before you head down to the cantina to do some shots (remember to shoot first, people!), let's take a moment to honor what makes this day so very special.
This fan-generated holiday (more info at StarWars.com) gives both Padawans and Jedi-level nerds a topical opportunity to talk about the George Lucas-spawned space saga in whatever way they like, one that's not tied to 3-D reissues or the latest Lego release (which are awesome, by the way!). But just because it's fun.
Not that most fans need a reason, of course. Everyday is Star Wars Day for some people.
So no need to blow up a planet or offer a hand to your long-lost father, just take a moment to enjoy an unlikely hit movie about a kid from the backwaters of the galaxy who overcomes adversity and imperialistic bullies to make good with the help of his new friends.
Saturday, May 5 from 3 - 5pm

I wouldn’t call my daughter’s first birthday party your usual celebration. Decorations were kept at a minimum, music played at a nice even tone, and we ditched games. Our daughter wasn’t even walking yet, so we wanted to keep things simple.
Even though it was more of an adult event, skipping the spirits was a no-brainer. I assumed filling the cooler with only non-alcoholic beverages was standard practice at a kids’ party.
But I recently learned that’s not always the case.
Anna Mackowiak, a 34-year-old Polish dentist, is facing criminal charges for having exacted one of the worst forms of revenge on her ex-boyfriend ever. The man, Marek Olszewski, had a toothache and thought that Mackowiak was a dentist he could trust, but when he woke up from the anesthesia and unwrapped his bandages he found that his ex-girlfriend had removed all of his teeth — every single one
If there's one thing Jessica Simpson knows how to do, it's make money out of stuff that other people do all the time, like, getting married. Or, in this most recent case, making a newborn baby girl named Maxwell Drew Johnson.
The New Jersey mother accused of allowing her 5-year-old daughter to use a tanning booth has denied the allegations after she was arrested and charged with second-degree child endangerment.
Although Patricia Krentcil doesn't deny that the child has been to the tanning salon with her, she says daughter Anna suffered from outdoor sunburn.
The Denver Nuggets will have to find a way to deal with Lakers big man Andrew Bynum if they plan on competing in the Western Conference quarterfinals.
Bynum put on a brilliant defensive performance in Game 1 of the series on Sunday, matching Hakeem Olajuwon and Mark Eaton for the most blocks in an NBA playoff game and posting the first Lakers postseason triple-double in 21 years as Los Angeles thumped the Nuggets, 103-88.
This weekend, my daughter had her spring pre-school performance. As we were getting ready, practicing her songs and pulling out her “good shoes,” she walked into the bathroom and reminded me that I needed to plug in the curling iron. “Mom,” she bellowed from across the house, “you need to turn on the hot curly thingy.”
Brenna and I have a pretty solid “dress-up” routine. Every holiday, performance, or any other event that she deems necessarily fancy, we pick out a pretty dress, curl her hair and then we apply a little make-up. Alright, we apply a full face of make-up. On both of us.
Ever since she could sit in front of my vanity, my daughter has loved make-up. The entire idea of painting her face was pretty exciting. She’s begged for blush and pleaded for a little lipstick. And for the past two years, I’ve obliged her.
Have you ever been doped into something silly.. Bj went out on a snype hunt once… and once Jamie was told to look for water with a couple of cut off coat hangers.
Bj saw a post from a lady on Facebook who has lost her job and is going to take her kids out of school and is going to home school them now… DoesHome schooling make kids strange?
Octomom may be declaring bankruptcy, but she's still very much the master of her own domain.
Octo has signed on to do a masturbation video ... TMZ has learned. She's hooked up with an online adult entertainment company and will shoot the video this summer. It will be released shortly thereafter -- not a lot of post production, we're told.
As for how much she'll make, it's hush hush, except we're told, "It's a lot more than the $10,000 she made for posing topless."
You'll recall Octo once vowed never to do porn, but she's saying she doesn't consider a masturbation video porn, because it's a solo mission.
Since the finalization of her divorce from Jesse James in 2010, America has hoped that Sandra Bullock would find love and happiness again, and it looks like she might be on her way!
On Saturday (April 28), Bullock and her adorable son, Louis, were out antique shopping with what looks to be a "mystery man." According to sources, the trio spent the afternoon together, but when the Academy Award winning actress spotted the awaiting shutterbugs, she quickly sent her man back inside the store to leave using a back exit.
