Man Claims to Have UFO Fragment
It sounds like something you would see on the front cover of a tabloid magazine, but after watching the story aired in the History Channel special
"UFO Hunters", I was intrigued at the notion of physical evidence from a UFO sighting. Having heard of other similar experiences of UFO crafts
shedding material before disappearing, I decided to look into it further. In 1985, Bob White was traveling in a car on his way to Los Vegas when he
and a female companion encountered a UFO. But unlike most sightings, this UFO ejected something before disappearing. [1] The object struck the ground
near them, so Bob went to go see what it was. He found the metal fragment in a ditch and was still glowing red-hot. After it cooled off, he put it in
the trunk of the car and they continued on their way.
Moderator's Musings
Its certainly been a strange and exciting month on-board. We recently completed our massive Debate Tournament, the first full tournament all year.
Large part in thanks to the participants and Moderator Amyorymeltzer. The previous tournament collapsed in on itself because of a number of reasons,
most I'm not even familiar with myself. But I can certainly understand how they can collapse, this one almost did. We had a lot of people that were
eager to participate, but, as so often happens, 'real-life' concerns can intrude on this little universe of ours. Numerous people had to drop out
of the competition entirely at a number of stages within it. At a few points, we were seriously concerned about the survival of the tournament all
together. But the remaining posters were able to roll up their virtual sleeves and dig into the topics, blazing new trails in the subjects at hand.
PODcasting Comes to
AboveTopSecret.com
Over the past three years, we've had an excellent history of "firsts" here on AboveTopSecret.com. We became the first "alternative topic"
community to surpass one million posts, we were the first community of any type to accept submissions directly from camera phones, we were the first
to integrate a community news portal into the fabric of the discussion board, we were the first to involve community members in collaborative events
with high profile guest speakers, and now we're the first to involve our members in the next wave of the future, PODcasting.
News of The Strange
It's the middle of the night. Suddenly you're aware that you're awake, but you can't move or make a sound. And then you feel a weight begin to
press down on your chest and you feel you can't breathe. No, you're not receiving a visit by a supernatural evil being and you're not going mad.
But you are experiencing what can be a frightening event that is estimated to happen to up to half of the population at least once in their life.
