The seeds from which they grew were fired into space, where they orbited the Earth for two weeks.

Once they returned they were cultivated in hothouses, producing the monster specimens seen here.

China has been experimenting with space plants since the 1980s.

Previously it has claimed that the near zero gravity conditions - microgravity - have created high-yield rice and wheat plants, and tomatoes and peppers with harvests ten to 20 per cent greater than normal.

The country is desperate to find new ways to feed its 1.3billion people, as farming land is gobbled up by factories.

The most recent batch of 2,000 seeds was launched into orbit in 2006 on the Shijian 8 satellite. Afterwards they were cultivated and the best specimens selected for further breeding.

he and his colleagues could not explain why time in orbit causes the seeds to mutate

Britain releases files on UFO sightings

clipper's remarks: The National Archives is releasing the files because of numerous freedom of information requests seeking information about the government's UFO reports. Officials said that names of many individuals had been blacked out to protect their privacy and that the entire files had been reviewed to make sure their release did not compromise national security.

Ministry of Defense officials indicate in the files that UFO reports were only investigated to make sure no enemy aircraft had illegally entered British airspace. This was crucial during the Cold War when Russian planes posed a threat.

Officials said they did not try to solve UFO riddles once an enemy attack had been ruled out.

The vast majority of UFO reports come from members of the public who see strange things in the sky and jump to the conclusion that a UFO is involved even though there are logical explanations for what they observe, experts said.

"The most common things are aircraft lights, bright stars and planets, sate

The National Archives are releasing new files which contain a wide range of UFO-related documents covering the years 1978–2002.

The air traffic controllers' "Report of Unusual Aerial Phenomenon" was filed from an unspecified small airport near the eastern coast of England.

Everyone became aware that the object was unidentified,

made a touch and go on runway 27, then departed at 'terrific speed' in a 'near vertical' climb."

The incident is one of the more credible in the newly public files because it was reported by air traffic controllers, said David Clarke, a UFO expert who worked with the National Archives on the document release.

The incident is one of hundreds of reported sightings contained in more than 1,000 pages of formerly secret UFO documents being released Wednesday by Britain's National Archives.

Einstein letter calls Bible ‘pretty childish’

In the note, written the year before his death, Einstein dismissed the idea of God as the product of human weakness and the Bible as "pretty childish."

The letter up for sale, written to philosopher Eric Gutkind in January 1954

In it, Einstein said that "the word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."

"For me," he added, "the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions."

Born to a Jewish family in Germany in 1879, Einstein said he went through a devout phase as a child before beginning to question conventional religion at the age of 12.

A memorial train featuring an exhibition on the thousands of children deported and murdered by the Nazis during World War II completed its journey near the former Auschwitz death camp in southern Poland.

Some 200 people marched on Thursday from the railway station in Oswiecim, where the train arrived, to a platform at the nearby Auschwitz camp, where more than 1.1 million people, including one million European Jews, were killed there between 1941-45.

The train's arrival at Auschwitz coincided with the 63rd anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe on May 8, 1945.

Symbolic journey

Organizers said that more than 225,000 people viewed the exhibition during its six-month voyage.

Detailing the fate of Jewish children and teenagers deported by the Nazis between October 1940 to December 1944, the "Memorial Train" focuses on the biographies of
