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.”
A blue shark found in the woods, yes the woods
From Yahoo:
Locals in the small town of Milton, New Hampshire are trying to figure out how a six-foot shark ended up in the region’s woods.
Floyd Ellis told local station WMUR that his brother found the decomposing blue shark on Thursday. The closest ocean beach is a 45-minute drive away, so authorities think fishers without a license may have caught it there and then dumped it in the woods to decompose when they realized they might get in trouble for the catch.
It is Shark Week afterall.
