Archaeologists announced that they have discovered remains of a woman buried in Poland 400 years ago. Her toe was padlocked, and a scythe (curved sword) was placed over her neck to keep her from rising from the grave. If she tried, her head would be cut off, presumably. Her legs were also shackled with irons. The woman wore a silk cap, which archaeologists said was a sign of "high status." The cap was in the traditional wizard shape. The woman was believed to have been about 35 years of age at...
The Mastcam on the Mars Curiousity Rover has beamed back a photo of what looks very much like a door carved into the Martian hills. Needless to say, Social Media had a field day with it. "The human brain has a pattern recognition function. In brief.. it’s not a door," tweeted Gordon Newell. "That’s what the lizardmen at NASA and the UN who claim the Nazis never made it to Mars want you to think" replied Arthur Scott. "I wouldnt say that's fair to simply assume. These are mere excited com...
In a tweet early this afternoon, SpaceX founder Elon Musk predicted that human beings would land on the planet Mars by 2029. Space Hub tweeted, "What's your guess? Referring to a photo of Neil Armstrong on the moon, above a photo of Mars with men walking on the red planet. "2029" tweeted Musk in reply. Manned missions to Mars are much more difficult than trips to the moon. It is 100 times further from Earth, and would expose astronauts to cosmic radiation in potentially lethal doses. NASA has...
2/21/22: Many men who have recovered from Covid have claimed to lost 25% of their penis size due to the virus. In a study released today, the University of Hong Kong's Department of microbiology has found that the coronavirus may cause men's testes to shrink and die from necrosis. Needless to say, social media platforms like Reddit were abuzz with the implications of such a chilling study. "See, even hamsters need a valid excuse. "They aren't usually that small, it's just a bit cold." "But it's...
Astronomers think it might be a remnant of a collapsed star, either a dense neutron star or a dead white dwarf star, with a strong magnetic field -- or it could be an artificial lighthouse, warning space ships away from some danger. Radio astronomers report that they have found a signal from space unlike anything observed by Earthmen before. It has been likened to "a celestial lighthouse" by astronomers. While mapping radio waves across the universe, astronomers happened upon a celestial object...
January 14th's eruption of Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai volcano, located on the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, sent tsunami waves across the Pacific Ocean. The audible report carried some 2,300 kilometers away in New Zealand, a distance of over 1,430 miles. It was widely reported (including by seismologist Lucy Jones), that this was "a once in 1000 year event." Actually, the eruption was a once in 1000 year event at this particular undersea volcano, which also erupted in 200 AD and in 120...
I am often skeptical of reports like this one, but it comes with video that just can't be ignored. A pilot believes he saw a series of UFOs while flying over the Pacific Ocean. He captured a video clip of the 12 lights, apparently rotating and moving at high velocity. The clearest UFO video in years shows 12 lights moving in formation at high velocity. In the video, the pilot can be heard saying: "I do not know what that is. That is some weird s**t. That is something flying." The pilot then...
The US Army has developed a vaccine that will end the worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic. This according to the website Defense One, which says that The vaccine, named SpFN, also showed promise against SARS, another dangerous coronavirus disease. The results of early human trials should be released this month, the Army said. This would of course, be a game changer. The original virus has spawned multiple variations and some of them seem to elude vaccine protection. Within weeks, scientists at the...
A joint project of the European Space Agency and NASA, on Christmas Day an Ariane Rocket will launch the most ambitious space telescope ever. It will be placed in orbit at a LaGrange point beyond Earth's orbit, where it will hopefully not fall back to the sun or earth. At 46 feet wide by 66 feet long by 20 feet high, the James Webb Space Telescope is the size of a yacht. It will peer into the universe much further than the Hubble Space Telescope ever could. It will also be much farther from...
A Chinese lunar rover operating on the dark side of Earth's moon, has discovered an object the size and shape of an ancient Egyptian obelisk. The Chinese space agency has released a photograph of the object. The rover is still 70 meters from the object, and it is not clear whether or not its surface is inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphics. But it seems likely. Did the ancient Egyptians visit the dark side of the moon? Or did they form an alliance with extra-terrestrials, as Erich Von Daniken pr...
NASA has released video from the Perseverance rover on the surface of Mars, complete with audio. Nasa has tried to record Martian sound before, but the audio is clear and well, haunting. It may be seen at this link: https://twitter.com/MAstronomers/status/1464347796933328900?s=20 The Martian atmosphere is 1/90th as thick as the air on Earth. It is mostly carbon dioxide as opposed to our planet's oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere. There is water vapor present too, much less than on Earth. NASA's...
A paper published today at Phys.org, suggests that the cylindrical meteor or other object that passed through the solar system in 2017, may not have had a natural origin. The paper is entitled "Not saying it was aliens, but 'Oumuamua probably wasn't a nitrogen iceberg." Written by Matt Williams of Universe Today, the paper disagrees with the theory that the object was nitrogenous debris from the outer solar system. A long excerpt is below. Other evidence for Oumuamua being a space probe from...
Fun fact: Titan has only one third as much gravity as earth, but the atmosphere is 10 times thicker. Therefore, a man could theoretically strap on winds, and fly through the air like a bird. Of course, the temperature is around 200 degrees below zero, Farenheit. So dress warmly. NASA has release posters of imaginary vacations on planets such as Venus and Mars, and a poster designed by NASA artists depicts people visiting Jupiter's moon Titan, which has liquid methane oceans. In the videos, peopl...
October 19, 2021 - Statistics from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health show an increasing percentage of breakthrough cases among the fully vaccinated and an increasing percentage of deaths among those breakthrough cases. The general public has not had an opportunity to become fully vaccinated until April, 2021, so data regarding the efficacy of the vaccines in LA County in preventing infection, hospitalization, and death have only been available for the past 7 months. The County...

More than 30 Elegant Tern chicks that were startled off their nesting site in Long Beach Harbor are now in care at International Bird Rescue in San Pedro, reports an organization called Bird Rescue. More of these young seabirds are en route. "These rescued seabirds are a part of a large tern colony nesting on an anchored barge located in Long Beach Harbor that may have been disturbed by boaters and fireworks over the Fourth of July weekend," writes Bird Rescue. "These young terns are in crisis...
July 6, 2021 - Summer...surf and sand, swimming pools, picnics, camping, outdoor sports and stinging insects! Bees, wasps, yellow jackets, mosquitoes and hornets can take the fun out of summer, and almost everyone has been bitten by one of these pesky creatures. Insects like these cause local skin reactions in most people. Reactions can range from itchiness to severe pain depending on the type of insect and the site of the bite. For two million Americans, however, stinging insects can be deadly...
The statistics coming out of Peru are concerning. Some in the world's medical community are beginning to express concern that the Lambda variant is more resistant to vaccines and antibodies, than other known variants of novel coronavirus. In June 2021, the Peruvian government reviewed the number of Covid-19 deaths, increasing the official death toll from 69,000 to 187,847 deaths. The new figure placed Perú with the highest death rate per capita in the world, according to the Johns Hopkins...
A bobcat captured and collared more than a year after the Woolsey Fire gave birth to three kittens recently - B-379, B-380, and B-381, according to the National Park Service. Using VHF radiotelemetry and GPS points from the mother's (B-370) collar, National Park Service biologists located the female bobcat in a cavity of a large oak tree on April 15, 2021. She was in an area that was intensely burned during the Woolsey Fire that swept through Calabasas and other areas in the Santa Monica...
Washington is quietly buzzing about what should be the single biggest news story of the 21st Century: UFOs are real. And the pentagon, the headquarters of the US Armed Forces, has the evidence. In any other year, we would be talking about nothing else. But this is 2021, and we are consumed with masks and viruses and vaccines. In April, former CIA director James Woolsey said that he was not "as skeptical as I was a few years ago, to put it mildly, but something is going on that is surprising to...
LOS ANGELES (May 14, 2021) - A record $25 million conservation challenge grant from Wallis Annenberg and the Annenberg Foundation to the National Wildlife Federation's #SaveLACougars campaign to build a wildlife crossing in the Los Angeles area will help the landmark project break ground later this year. The wildlife crossing at Liberty Canyon over the 101 Freeway – which will be the largest wildlife crossing in the world - will reconnect a long-fragmented ecosystem, a biodiversity hotspot, and...
A new report on the Researchgate.com website reports on a group of US, European and Chinese researchers who believe the "blueberries" of Mars are not rock formations. They are actually hardy fungi, the report claims. Which would mean there's life on Mars. The report theorizes that the fungus, or fungi, could be used as food or fuel by future human colonists. Personally, I think I prefer the deep fried mushroom burger at Shake Shack, but I digress. The objects in question show“chalky-white c...

8: A highly convincing video with over 26 million views on Twitter and Facebook, appears to show the Mars Perseverance Rover on the Martian surface, with audio. While Perseverance will ultimately broadcast audio and video from the Martian surface, the video now going viral is not actually from NASA at all. While NASA did land Perseverance on Mars, many on the internet are unintentionally sharing a false video. The 26 second fake video claimed to be from Mars Perseverance rover goes viral....
The best footage of a UFO taken from an airplane in several years was posted to Reddit and to Twitter on February 2, 2021. The footage may be seen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/lcalco/best_footage_of_an_ufo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 In the footage, a woman points to a oblong object seemingly following the airplane about a kilometer away, off the starboard side. "oh wow it teleported huh that's pretty cool", she says. The object is seen to reverse direction and...
