For the first time, two women involved in this sophisticated spy
What’s the best way to hide nearly $770,000 worth of stolen diamond earrings? Swallow them—at least, that’s what one alleged thief in Orlando thought.

The U.S. intelligence community just got a serious shake-up. More than 100 spies across 15 agencies—yes, including the CIA and NSA—have been fired after investigators uncovered explicit, wildly unprofessional chat groups on a government messaging platform.

Is it a UFO? A secret government bunker? Or just the world’s weirdest birdbath? That’s what the internet’s been asking ever since a mysterious, disc-shaped structure was spotted in the rugged mountains of New Mexico. Tucked away at coordinates that sound straight out of a spy movie (34°24’21.6 “N 107°05’44.5” W), this bizarre white object has
