The researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, led by University of California-Berkeley Professor Heino Nitsche and and Berekely Lab senior staff scientist Ken Gregorich, independently confirmed the production of the new element, which was first published by the Dubna Gas Filled Recoil Separator group. Using an instrument called the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator at Berkeley Lab's 88-Inch Cyclotron, the researchers said they were able to confirm the creation of two individual nuclei of element 114, each a separate isotope having 114 protons, but a different numbers of neutrons, and each decaying by a separate pathway. "By verifying the production of element 114, we have removed any doubts about the validity of the Dubna group's claims," Nitsche said. "This proves that the most interesting superheavy elements can in fact be made in the laboratory." The verification of element 114 is reported in the journal Physical Review Letters. "People have been dreaming of superheavy elements since the 1960s," Gregorich added. "But it's unusual for important results like the Dubna group's claim to have produced 114 to go unconfirmed for so long. Scientists were beginning to wonder if superheavy elements were real."

ironically enough some of the first people to theorize the existance of this and the other elements within the range of 114 and to 118, in the claims of UFO anti-gravity drives (though they usually mention SPECIFICALLY element 115, which is rather precise, based on a claim by physicist Robert Lazar who calimed to have seen an alien reactor at a place called "S4" in groom lake; or as it more commonly know Area 51). particlarly because they have their OWN gravity that exists beyond the individual atoms and hence can distort space/time, and thusly their effects. element 118 was also "offically" made, back in the 80´s, and they decayed into elemeent 116 "almost instantly", which then decays into element 114 (silimilarly element 115 when made decays into element 113)... amazing how its only news, when certian "crazy" physicists and ufologists have long since known this and been trying to make the existence of such elements public

So, yet another fact mentioned by Ufologists has been confirmed that has been previously ridiculed and denied, I think the (un) official line till now was it was a Russian myth that Ufologists jumped on, Steve Greer must be happy at this recent revelation, or should I say, confirmation
