A new study has shown that the six-tonne Altar Stone at the heart of Stonehenge came from the far north of Scotland – rather than southwestern Wales, as previously thought.

A couple claim to have spotted a gigantic UFO hovering over Stonehenge. Tash Minto and her partner Tony Waterhouse spotted a light in the sky as they were driving near the famous landmark and haven't ruled out the possibility of it being "little green men". Tash told the Daily Star newspaper: "Tony kept mentioning it was like 'The X-Files' and I told him to stop because it just didn't feel natural. "I'm a big fan of nature and this didn't seem to come from anything like the sun or the moon, it felt like it was coming from something artificial. "Tony said it was definitely little green men.
