Opportunity Breaks NASA's 40-Year Roving Record After nine years of hard Mars roving, Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity has broken a 40-year-old extraterrestrial distance record. On Thursday, the tenacious six-wheeled robot drove 80 meters (263 feet), nudging the total distance traveled since landing on the red planet in 2004 to 35.760 kilometers (22.220 miles). NASA’s previous distance record was held by Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt when, in December 1972, they drove their Lunar Roving Vehicle 35.744 kilometers (22.210 miles) over the lunar surface. Yea!!! |

UFO lights over Phoenix Arizona, real or not?
(Message 1368736)

Do we have anyone here from Snowflake, Arizona? This is based on a true story. A group of men who were clearing bush for the government arrive back in town, claiming that their friend was abducted by aliens. Nobody believes them, and despite a lack of motive and no evidence of foul play, their friends' disappearance is treated as murder. Written by Murray Chapman <muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au> This film recreates the strange events which happened November 5, 1975 in the town Snowflake, Arizona. Travis Walton works as a logger in the woods. When he and his colleagues drive home after work, they encounter an UFO. For the next five days Travis disappears and his colleagues are accused of murder. When he reappears, first he didn't remember that he was gone, but in time the terrible memories come back.. Coming home from work, the men come across an unidentified flying object on their drive home. Curious to learn more, Walton gets out of their truck and is struck by a beam of light from the object. Fearing Walton was just killed, the others flee the scene. Rogers decides to go back to the spot to retrieve Walton, but he is nowhere to be found. Making their way back to town to report the incident, the loggers are met with skepticism, as they relate what sounds like a tall tale to Sheriff Blake Davis (Noble Willingham) and Lieutenant Frank Watters (James Garner). They are suspected of foul play despite no apparent motive or knowledge of Walton's whereabouts.  |

The artifacts at Bimini appear to be man made but several geologists discount that claim with arguments that the objects are of natural origin. Thanks Bob, even so, the whole area appears to be very mysterious. Bermuda triangle. Crawling back into my hole, for now. |

Black Holes part 2
(Message 1368368)

Huge one! Black Hole-Powered Jets Plow Into Galaxy  This composite image of a galaxy illustrates how the intense gravity of a supermassive black hole can be tapped to generate immense power. The image contains X-ray data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (blue), optical light obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (gold) and radio waves from the NSF’s Very Large Array (pink). This multi-wavelength view shows 4C+29.30, a galaxy located some 850 million light years from Earth. The radio emission comes from two jets of particles that are speeding at millions of miles per hour away from a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. The estimated mass of the black hole is about 100 million times the mass of our Sun. The ends of the jets show larger areas of radio emission located outside the galaxy. |

Bimini is home to several landmarks said to contain mystical properties of obscure origins. I watched a special on TV. It was thought, Atlantis was there. |

NASA Curiosity Rover Team Selects Second Drilling Target on Mars  This map shows the location of "Cumberland," the second rock-drilling target for NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, in relation to the rover's first drilling target, "John Klein," within the southwestern lobe of a shallow depression called "Yellowknife Bay." Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona PASADENA, Calif. -- The team operating NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has selected a second target rock for drilling and sampling. The rover will set course to the drilling location in coming days. "Cumberland", has some erosion. |

UFO's exist - I've seen at least two
(Message 1366218)
Posted 13 days ago by Lynn
One's eyes can play tricks. I posted this on some thread 5-30-2000. I was on my computer when I heard a loud airplane. I was in my living room at the computer when I heard the airplane. My son was home and yelled to me Mom, come here there's a UFO. I ran into the kitchen and looked. He said see it out there. I said where? He said right over the other house. I looked and saw a bright glowing round shape object which appeared to have a glitter effect. Then it went up and left. I then went outside to see the airplane making circles and chasing the object. Janesville, is not far from where we live. Never saw the plane. Blue Angels, were coming by me and turning around. Next time you see The Blue Angels, Watch Out!!! Yep! No ufo's. What was this strange airplane? The U.S. Navy's Blue Angels. The Blue Angels are making their first appearance in Janesville, Wisconsin. "People will see our maneuvers and think of them as daring feats or stunts. Right!!! |

Brazilian 'Atlantis' found Geologists have announced the discovery of what has been dubbed the 'Brazilian Atlantis', some 900 miles from Rio. The legend of Atlantis, a sunken island thought to have once lay between Africa and South America, has been the subject of literary myths for centuries. But geologists in Brazil have now added their claims to speculation over the precise location of the mysterious land mass, mentioned first by Plato in around 360BC.  A member of the Geological Service of Brazil with the rock dug out from the deep sea bed 1,500 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro How can they tell from a rock?? Nah! Too good to be true. |

“Our Galaxy’s black hole may be cooking its dinner right in front of Herschel’s eyes.” Supermassive black hole feasts on hot gas for dinner It’s not everyday that you get to see what’s on a black hole’s dinner menu. The European Space Agency’s Herschel space observatory has spotted hot molecular gas that may be circling or falling towards the supermassive black hole located at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. |
