Secret UK report points to existence of
'Aurora'
Secret UK report points to existence of 'Aurora'. Research and development on hypersonic technology is expanding, principally in the USA. The
projected (USAF) priority plan is to produce unpiloted air-breathing aircraft with a Mach 8-12 capability and transatmospheric vehicles which can
operate between the upper air-breathing and sub-orbital flight regimes, as well as highly supersonic vehicles at Mach 4 to 6.
Word Spreads About N. Oregon Coast Mystical
Legend
If you’re an addict of the ABC show “Lost,” with all its strange, intertwined coincidences, you may be interested to know there’s a place on
Oregon’s coast that has its similarities. “I'd say that the ‘Wheeler Moment’ is the result of some sort of spiritual vortex that apparently
exists in this little corner of the Oregon coast,” Laszlo said. “It seems that the vortex - or whatever it is – causes wishes and visions to
become manifest at a higher than normal frequency here.
Amazing Nebraska Cryptid Photo
A remarkable photographic image has been snapped on the morning of June 13, 2006, in a woman’s backyard in the Midwestern state of Nebraska. KETV-7
in Omaha broadcast the picture on June 14, and it appears to be an animal unlike any most people have seen locally. A werewolf, perhaps? I’m mildly
joking, but that moniker has been used in reports before, as we know from the work of Linda Godfrey, northeast of Nebraska, in Wisconsin.
NSA looking at social-networking spaces
Amidst the political firestorm generated by revealed wiretapping of domestic phone calls, the National Security Agency has recently been revealed to
be funding research to ramp up data-mining efforts to encompass social-networking Web sites. These sites, which include household names such as
MySpace.com and Facebook.com, represent a potentially larger data source for firms like the NSA to tap into. With more than 80 million accounts on
MySpace.com alone, the sites offer a wider array of publicly available information such as contacts and shared activities.
Arctic expedition will
investigate alien-like glacier
A scientific expedition to a remote glacier field in Canada's High Arctic may help researchers unlock the secrets about the beginning of life and
provide insights for future exploration of our solar system. "We really want to try and understand the plumbing system for this spring and where all
this sulfur is coming from," Beauchamp said. "This is a very unusual feature on the earth's surface and it's an extreme ecosystem that could be a
good model for how life first begins in a harsh environment."
No shortage of action for local UFO
hunter
“The situation in Waterhen Lake is that there has been a number of sightings from April 4 to May 23,” said Campbell. “What makes this unique is
that 75 per cent of the population up there have been seeing these UFOs and there’s 1,600 people up there. So not only is it the amount of people
which makes it credible, but there was video footage captured.”
Man Makes Casts Of Purported Bigfoot
Footprints
Some say footprints found in northern Minnesota belong to the legendary Bigfoot. The prints were found by a Cass County grater operator near Deer
River, Minn. When Bigfoot believer Bob Olson heard about the footprints from his granddaughter, he went to see for himself. He made casts of two of
the 15-inch prints, which make the 6-foot-5-inch tall man's size-14 feet look small.
Can this man read your baby's mind?
Reading babies' thoughts is Ogilvie's speciality. We are not talking reading body language, child psychology or any of the other ways of working out
what our wee ones are thinking which are backed by scientific study. We are talking thoughts.
