Some of the defining characteristics of life include its ability to replicate and reproduce itself and its genome whilst maintaining a capacity for evolution. Life, as we know it, requires genetic information and no fewer than 382 genes. Thus, the origins of life can be estimated by determining duplication rates beginning with the first gene. Conversely, an approximate date for the origin of the first gene can be estimated based on the time frame in which life appeared on Earth and then evolved. Data from genomics and molecular biology indicate that all modern organisms originated from an ensemble of prokaryotic genes dating back to the first appearance of life on Earth over 4.2 billion years ago (bya), which means life was present on Earth from almost the beginning.

Flights were re-routed or forced to circle an airport for over an hour after Chinese air traffic controllers saw what they believed to be a UFO hovering over the runway. The incident, which took place at about 8 p.m. on Sept. 11 at an airport in Baotou, is the eighth reported UFO sighting in China since June, according to AOL News. Back-to-back sightings in June alarmed Chinese residents. As ABC reports : The alert was triggered by bright lights in the sky that moved erratically, but reports claim that air traffic controllers at the Hohhot Air Traffic Management Bureau spotted the object on their radar.
