Was Nic Cage in the Civil War?
From The inquisitor:
A Civil War-era photograph of Nicolas Cage has surfaced on eBay, and there is only one logical explanation… he’s a vampire.
The photo, which is being sold by a man from Tennessee for an asking price of $1 million, shows the Oscar winner in a Civil War-era photograph. But what’s even more amazing, it appears that Nicolas Cage hasn’t aged a day since the photograph was taken.
Boy emerges from a German forest with no memory
He walked out of a German forest, speaking English and knowing only his first name. Police in Berlin are trying to unravel the mystery of a teenager who says he has no idea who he is or where he comes from.
The boy presented himself to the Berlin authorities last week saying all he knew was that his first name was Ray, he was probably 17 years old and he and his father had roamed through the woods for about five years.
“He speaks fluent English and very broken German,” the Berlin police spokesman Michael Maaß told the Guardian. The police have not yet determined if his accent is American, British or that of some other English-speaking nationality.
He told youth workers that his father, whom he called Ryan, had died two weeks ago and he had buried him in a shallow grave covered with stones. The boy then walked north, following instructions his father had given him should anything happen to him.
Blinding bright light over Colorado rural road
From The Examiner:
Two Colorado witnesses driving northwest along Road 97 toward Conifer report watching a large triangle-shaped object hovering over nearby tree tops with “white blinding lights” and a “strange blue and green light on the front of the craft,” according to September 14, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The two had just left Kennedy Gulch and were near Conifer when they made a left turn and encountered the object.
“My friend saw something in the sky and told me to look,” the reporting witness stated. “I turned and looked at a 60-degree angle up to my left, and saw three lights in a triangle shape.”
The reporting witness details what his friend saw.
“My friend then turned and looked back at the craft and he saw a very large object in the sky hovering over the tree tops on the left side of the road.”
The object then moved across the road, turning slightly - “exposing large, white blinding lights alongwith a strange blue and green light on the front of the craft.”
50th anniversary of the first UFO abduction case
Betty and Barney Hill’s reported interaction with a UFO on Route 3 near Lincoln, occurred 50 years ago Monday.
The Hills, a quiet Portsmouth couple whose only public role until then involved participating in the state’s Civil Rights movement, said they had been taken aboard a cigar-shaped spacecraft and questioned by humanoid alien beings.
Betty Hill even drew from memory a space map that the creatures had shown her, locating their home base (some claim it points to a binary star called Zeta Reticuli, 39 light-years away).
A state historical plaque unveiled this summer celebrates “the first widely-reported UFO abduction report in the United States.”
Lights over Phoenix, sound familiar?
Gilbert, Arizona was recently home to some bizarre UFO activity. On the night of September 17th, several eyewitnesses saw spinning white lights in the sky.
Was this fiery UFO simply a meteorite? Not so fast
If you live in Arizona, California, and Nevada chances are you had a chance to take part in one of the most widespread UFO sightings in years. NASA scientists say this multi-colored object was most likely an astroid that broke off into a meteorite.
Sounds fair. But not so fast.
Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center, is skeptical that the UFO was a meteor because it was visible for so long.
“It’s definitely too early to say that it’s a meteor,” he told 8News. “One would not expect a person to be witness to a meteor for 45 or 50 seconds.”
Sure enough. If you look at this video you can clearly see a fiery object hovering and moving in patterns inconsistent with a meteorite.
Are these kids human magnets?
Look at these photos from the AP and decide for yourself. Two Serbian sisters claim their sons have paranormal powers akin to magnetism.
They claim their sons, 4-year-old David Petrovic (pictured) and 6-year-old Luka Lukic, have an unusual ability to attract metal objects with their bodies alone.
What explains the phenomenon? “As far as I know, there is no medical or scientific explanation,” Mihajlo Dodic, a radiologist in Belgrade, Serbia, told the Associated Press. He said the cousins’ magnetism borders on the “paranormal.” But other experts have been dubious of previous cases of “human magnetism.”
Next stop for NASA… deep space
The Wall Street Journal breaks down NASA’s new ambitious Space Launch System.
NASA unveiled plans Wednesday for a $35 billion rocket program designed to surpass the storied boosters of the Apollo era and eventually be powerful enough to launch astronauts as far as Mars.
The ambitious project caps months of disputes between NASA and lawmakers, and follows internal White House debates over its price tag. The heavy-lift rocket will be the cornerstone of the U.S.’s efforts to explore deep space, taking “humans to places no one has gone before,” said Charles Bolden, head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The ultimate goal, according to industry and government officials, is to launch 140 tons or more, including a capsule already under development and able to carry at least four astronauts, far beyond Earth’s orbit in future decades.
King Arthur’s Round Table Discovered?
It’s not quite the table you’d order from Pottery Barn, but the Epoch Times thinks this could be the famed round table of King Arthur’s court.
Archaelogists surveying the King’s Knot landmark near Stirling Castle in Scotland have discovered a circular feature beneath the site that could explain why folklore links the knot with the legendary Round Table where King Arthur gathered his knights.
Tomb discovered in Wales is linked to Stonehenge
The Epoch Times helps put two and two together. Strange blue stones found at newly discovered Welsh tomb may have wound up at Stonehenge. And that’s just the beginning.
The archeologists believe the 80 bluestones at Stonehenge originated from the same area as the tomb and were transported around 160 miles (nearly 260 kilometers) to the Wiltshire plains about 4,500 years ago (around 2,300BC).
Uncovering the reason for this epic journey will unlock the mystery behind Stonehenge’s existence.The Preseli area has many springs linked with ritual healing in prehistory, and this could explain why the bluestones were quarried for Stonehenge, despite being so far away.
