Dead Blackbirds Fall Again in Ark. Town By JEANNIE...

Dead Blackbirds Fall Again in Ark. Town By JEANNIE NUSS

Thousands of dead blackbirds rained down on a town in central Arkansas last New Year’s Eve after revelers set off fireworks that spooked them from their roost, and officials were reporting a similar occurrence Saturday as 2012 approached.

Police in Beebe said dozens of blackbirds had fallen dead, prompting officers to ban residents from shooting fireworks Saturday night. It wasn’t immediately clear if fireworks were again to blame, but authorities weren’t taking a chance.

Officer John Weeks said the first reports of “birds on the streets” came around 7 p.m. as residents celebrated the year’s end with fireworks in their neighborhoods.

“We started shutting down fireworks,” he said. “We’re working on cleaning up the birds now.”

He said police were working with animal control workers and others to remove the birds and determine a death count.

“We’re not sure if they’re going to continue to fall throughout the night. I can’t tell you,” Weeks said.

Scientists say the loud cracks and booms from celebratory fireworks likely sent the birds into such a tizzy that they crashed into homes, cars and each other before plummeting to their deaths last New Year’s Eve. The birds landed on roofs, sidewalks, streets and fields. One struck a woman walking her dog. Another hit a police cruiser.

The blackbird die-off, coupled with tens of thousands of dead drum fish that washed up on the shores of the Arkansas River, flung the state into the national headlines and drew conspiracy theorists and filmmakers to the town about 30 miles northeast of Little Rock that shares Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe’s last name.

Some people speculated that the birds had been poisoned; others said their deaths marked the beginning of the apocalypse.

“It’s just got to be a pain in my career,” Beebe Police Chief Wayne Ballew said.

Prior to this New Year’s Eve, Ballew said he wouldn’t be surprised if people sit out on their front porches in case the winged creatures fall from the sky again.

“I guess we could have an annual blackbird watch,” he said with a laugh. “People can just bring their umbrellas, open them up and walk through the neighborhood and hope they don’t get hit.”

Charles Moore didn’t plan to have an umbrella at the ready, but said he would have his camera out on New Year’s Eve. Last year, he drifted off to sleep before the ball — and birds — dropped.

“When we got up on New Year’s Day and walked out to get the paper, we saw all the carnage out there,” he said. “So we thought we would be on the watch for it this time.”

A cloaked UFO near Mercury??

A camera on board NASA’s STEREO A satellite seems to have captured video of an unknown thing that looks like an actual spaceship. The blip appeared when a Sun’s coronal mass ejection (CME) reached planet Mercury. Watch the video and judge by yourself.

Update: whatever it is, it appears on the images taken by STEREO twin satellite too. Check out the new video, taken at the same time, taken from the opposite side of the action.

Make sure to run the video at full screen.

What is happening in the video?

The video shows a coronal mass ejection coming from the Sun and reaching the planet Mercury. Coronal mass ejections are massive explosions of solar wind, radiation and magnetic fields that go well beyond the solar corona, deep into space. They are so big that sometimes they reach Earth.

You can see the gigantic solar wave reaching Mercury but, just as it goes through, something else becomes visible: a very angular shape that seems to be formed by two separate objects joined together. It looks as if the CME wave reveals a volume on impact, interacting with it.

You know, like a cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey being uncovered by the Sun’s radioactive fury.

What captured the images?

The images—found by YouTube user siniXster in the US Navy’s SECCHI site—were captured by the heliospheric imagers HI-1A on board of one the Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatories: STEREO A.

The twin STEREO spaceships were launched on October 26, 2006. They are rotating around the Sun, studying its surface and activity. They are also part of an early warning system that alerts scientists in case a CME is so strong that it may gravely disrupt satellites orbiting Earth. That’s why the US Navy participates in the mission.

The heliospheric imagers are part of Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation (SECCHI), a ground of five cameras: a telescope that works on extreme ultraviolet, two white-light coronagraphs and the two heliospheric imagers, HI1 and HI2.

Update: the heliospheric imager from STEREO B also shows the same thing. See below.

When was it captured?

The video shows a period of 24 hours captured on December 1st, 2011. It’s made of 36 frames in total.

I have repeated the 36 frames at different speeds (10 frames per second and 2 frames per second) so you can better appreciate the object and how the CME appears to interact with it.

What is that thing?

This is going to be a question for debate between scientists and ufologists.

It could very well be a glitch on the sensor, a ghost image from the planet Mercury itself. If you pay close attention, you can see that the two lines follow the same direction that the planet does. But if it’s a ghost image, why does it end so abruptly? How is it so well delimited? Why does it look like a spaceship?

The answer, according to Nathan Rich, lead ground system engineer at the United States Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, is in the way the images are post-processed.

Talking to Life’s Little Mysteries’ Natalie Wolchover, Rich said that these are “artifacts in the background where the planet was on the previous day” which then show up as residual pixels in the processed image:

The pixels which form the two parallel lines are where the circle from the planet and the bleeding pixels (cross-like features) overlap as it progresses across the field.

That seems to make a lot more sense than a cloaked alien mothership almost as big as a little planet.

In any case, Scully, I want to believe.

Sobe Bomb Bigfoot Caught on Camera

In spring 2008, teenagers in a canyon one mile east of Logan, Utah inadvertently taped footage of a Bigfoot hiding behind the trees during the making of a sobe bomb. There was a breakdown of the video by FB/FB confirming the Bigfoot on multiple points including head on shoulders, slope to back, gray on face, and etc.

Last week, the Finding Bigfoot crew went to investigate and Moneymaker recently confirmed via Twitter this morning that it was definitely a Sasquatch.

New Sasquatch footage from Canada

From: Phantoms & Monsters

I have to admit that this video has much of the criteria needed to make a reasonable argument that these creatures do exist. The witness, Timbergiant, IMO is very believable and the explanation offered by FB/FB and Timbergiant make this video a very intriguing piece of evidence. I don’t normally give credence to Bigfoot videos but I do take my ‘hat off’ for this presentation.

Statement with video: Thanks to FB/FB for this, and of course Timbergiant bigfoot.Timbergiant films Sasquatch flanking him November 21st 2011 Ontario, Canada. This is the third video by TMBGT to make the list. Confirms on Coned head, Bent legs, tree hiding, high shoulders, consistent coloring. This shows just how strategic Sasquatch are. We include some clips of Jim and how the video came to be. Jim goes deep and goes solo. Sasquatch is on film for 28 seconds.

Nothing “New” about Weather Modification In November...

Nothing “New” about Weather Modification

In November of last year readers of the San Luis Obispo Tribune saw the below ad in the “Legal Notices” section of the paper:

NOTICE OF INTENTION WEATHER MODIFICATION PROGRAM THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY WATER AGENCY HEREBY GIVES NOTICE OF INTENTION TO CONDUCT A WEATHER MODIFICATION PROGRAM NATURE AND PURPOSE: The purpose of the project is to increase rainfall to help alleviate deficiencies of water supplies in Santa Barbara County. Clouds would be seeded by the dispersal of Silver Iodide (AgI). Two possible modes of seeding, air based and ground based, would be used. LOCATION OF PURPOSE: Project operations could be conducted during the period between November 15 and April 15, for each year, 2011-2012 through 2015-2016. Airborne seeding operations would utilize air space over Santa Barbara County, portions of San Luis Obispo County as well as the Pacific Ocean immediately west of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. Ground based seeding operations would be conducted from the Santa Ynez Mountains, the Casmalia Hills and the San Rafael Mountains. The target areas for seeding operations are the watersheds behind Cachuma and Gibraltar reservoirs on the Santa Ynez River as well as Twitchell reservoir on the Cuyama River. LICENSEE: The project would be operated and supervised by a licensed weather modification consultant.

While terribly interesting to a chemtrail believer, such as myself, weather modification has been conducted for decades across the country, mainly in the form of cloudseeding. Cloudseeding is not Geo-engineering. Cloud seeding is performed in lower altitudes, generally under 10 thousand feet, or where clouds accumulate. Geoengineering Aerosols are being sprayed at much higher altitudes, generally much higher than rain clouds.

Cloud seeding is a technique that basically forces rain clouds to produce more rainfall. Chemtrails eliminate rain clouds, eliminate the chance of rain, supposed purpose is to create drought conditions. This is usually done with a slow propeller plane, much like a crop duster. Chemtrails are always seen coming from high speed jet planes. The proof can be seen on thousands of websites throughout the world via photos taken daily by the general public. Just GOOGLE the word Chemtrail, check it out for yourselves.

More examples of public notices:

and

The public works department of Santa Barbara even have this posted on their website:

As early as 1948, Santa Barbara County has participated in weather modification activities in order to augment local water supplies. Weather conditions are “modified” by seeding clouds - cloud seeding - with condensation nuclei to increase the amount of rain that falls. There are a number of benefits from doing this, which are supported by statistical analysis. The most significant benefit is that in some years up to 20% more rain falls in areas where clouds have been seeded than in control (unseeded) areas. There are three distinct benefits of cloud seeding: infiltration of significant amounts of water into ground water basins; runoff into reservoirs; and irrigation effects on grasslands and crops.

To understand how cloud seeding works, it is important to understand clouds. Clouds are composed of droplets of water vapor of varying size and temperature. These cloud droplets form on microscopic particles of atmospheric dust, called condensation nuclei. Toward the top of the cloud formations, “supercooled” water vapor may exist. This means that the water vapor is suspended in the cloud at temperatures that are below freezing.

Precipitation forms when this vapor contacts a particle or “nuclei”. The vapor freezes to the particle and forms an ice crystal. The crystal grows larger as more vapor contacts it. When it becomes large enough to overcome the forces of “uplift” in the cloud, it falls out as precipitation. This precipitation may reach the ground as hail or snow, or during its descent it may melt and reach the ground as rain. It may evaporate entirely on the way down and rejoin the cloud as vapor. The existence of supercooled water vapor constitutes the most opportune conditions to seed clouds for rainfall augmentation purposes. It is possible, though, to seed clouds without supercooled water vapor, under certain meteorological conditions.

In storms typical to Santa Barbara County, there is much more moisture available than there are condensation nuclei to act as ‘bus’ mechanisms to bring the cloud droplet from a high elevation in the atmosphere down to earth’s surface. For this reason, Santa Barbara County’s weather modification program focuses on adding more condensation nuclei to clouds to increase rainfall.

A number of substances have been shown to work for cloud seeding, including dry ice, but the most commonly used substance is silver iodide (AgI). There are two ways to inject silver iodide into clouds: aerial and land-based methods. In aerial seeding, silver iodide generators are mounted on the wing tips of an airplane which flies directly into the most productive part of the cloud. Land-based generators are placed at the top of mountains where updrafts carry the silver iodide into passing clouds. The generators burn a solution of silver iodide and acetone which releases the seeding agent in a smoke form.

Local aircraft generators are flown on planes leaving the Santa Barbara or Santa Maria Airports. This is a more precise method of seeding because the pilot can fly directly into precipitation bands, the most productive portions of the storm. These bands can be detected by radar and pilots can be directed to them by radio. Ground generators are located at the Refugio Pass and La Cumbre Peak in the Santa Ynez Mountains, and are independently activated by a meteorologist from the control center. A computer model is used to pre-determine the effects of seeding. The County cloud seeding program is only conducted north of the Santa Ynez Mountains, partly to avoid inundating populated areas with rain, and partly because run-off south of the mountains goes into the ocean.

The effectiveness of cloud seeding has been evaluated to demonstrate its benefits. Recent statistical studies suggest that seeding results in a maximum increase in precipitation of about 20% over one rain season. This translates to thousands of acre feet of additional water captured for storage in local reservoirs. For example, in a wet year such as 1992-93, approximately 20,000 acre feet of water was generated through cloud seeding, and this figure does not include infiltration into groundwater basins.

The local cloud seeding program is operated between November 1 and April 30 of most years. Seeding is only possible during those months if there are clouds present that might produce rain. During drought periods, cloud seeding is not effective. Conversely, in large storms, seeding operations are suspended in order to avoid contributing to flooding problems. The most effective seeding occurs during moderately wet years such as occurred in 1992 and 1993. Some level of cloud seeding is conducted most years.

The current cloud seeding program in Santa Barbara County uses state-of-the-art technology to reduce the associated risks of excessive rainfall or rainfall occurring in areas not intended. County hydrologists use a network of rain and stream flow gages together with predictive computer models to prevent potential problems. A set of suspension criteria is established every year which specifies conditions under which seeding may be conducted. For example, all seeding is suspended in the areas recently burned by wildfires (such as the Marre Fire in Santa Ynez Valley) because those areas are sensitive to excessive soil erosion which can lead to landslides. Seeding can resume when biologists and others have determined that there is no longer any danger of landslides or other adverse erosion impacts. The program is under the constant supervision of a certified meteorologist who uses real-time radar and satellite imagery to monitor storm progression and rainfall.

The cost of the annual cloud seeding program is shared among the County and the water districts which receive a benefit from it. The cost is well justified when compared to its benefits. The average cost of water produced by cloud seeding is less than $100 per acre foot. By comparison, the cost of State Water on the South Coast is roughly $1200 per acre foot. Desalinated seawater costs approximately $1950 per acre foot. Groundwater and water from Lake Cachuma average between $75 and $250 per acre foot. Cloud seeding is one of the least expensive sources of water available to us.

Ghost Driver

“On November 15, 2011, around 3:30 p.m, I took this photo of this Model T parked in storage for the Eklund Hotel in our town, Clayton, New Mexico,” says Coby. “There have always been stories about a ghost named Irene in the motel. It was built in the late 1800s. I felt/saw nothing unusual at the time I took the picture. It was simply needed for insurance coverage. Please check out the image behind the wheel and let me know what you think. Everyone I’ve shown this to thinks I need to do something about it!”

Coby, I am assuming that the picture was taken with a digital camera, which rules out a double exposure, so in my opinion the possibilities with this photo are these:

It is a hoaxed photo. The image is just a smudge on the glass that happens to look like a human head. It is a reflection of the photographer. It is a reflection of something else in the room. It is a ghost. I am leaning strongly toward the probability that this is a reflection of the photographer. It looks to be the right position and the right size, considering the distance of the photographer from the car. It even looks like there is something like a camera in front of the right eye. (See enlarged inset.)

This, of course, does not negate the possibility that the hotel is haunted, but I don’t think this photo is evidence of that.

Coby comments further:

“I took that picture, he says. I’m a 48-year-old male with a very, very short haircut and wear glasses. Does that impact your analysis?”

It does, Coby. The image does not look like it has short hair and does not appear to be wearing glasses. So perhaps that information lends more weight to this being a genuine ghost photo.

Triangle-Headed Alien Mummy discovered in Peru — we’re not alone!

By Meredith Woerner, Nov 18, 2011

Behold the giant-headed alien mummy that turned up in Peru. Stare into its all-knowing eye sockets of an alien that somehow wound up on Earth many years ago, and was mummified by the locals. But what was it doing here?

Website RPP is claiming that Renato Davila Riquelme, an anthropologist working at the Privado Ritos Andinos museum in Cusco, has discovered remains of something that isn’t human. Measuring at 20 inches tall, the tiny remains were originally believed to be that of a child, but Spanish and Russian doctors disagree, saying:

“It has a non-human appearance because the head is triangular and big, almost the same size as the body. At first we believed it to be a child’s body until Spanish and Russian doctors came and confirmed that, yes, it’s an extraterrestrial being.”

BOOM. There ya go. Four out of five faceless scientists agree that what you’re looking at are mummified alien remains. Case closed.

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:29:09 -0500

From the city of Marcos Quito, Ecuador, comes a video of a strange, glowing object. The man who took the footage sent me some information on what he saw. The object hovered over the city for some three hours, and slowly moved from the central part of the city to the southern rim.

It occasionally flashed, and eventually disappeared from view. At first glance, this looks like it could be a Chinese Lantern, but after watching it a couple of times, I am not so sure.

The O’Hare Airport UFO - New Evidence of the O’Hare...

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 16:47:51 -0500

The O’Hare Airport UFO - New Evidence of the O’Hare Airport UFO

Case Background One of the most publicized UFO cases in recent years was the 2006 O’Hare Airport UFO. There were many rumors shortly after the incident made worldwide headlines that there existed photographic and video evidence of the event.

It was even rumored that actor/UFO proponent Dan Aykroyd had bought the evidence, and would release it as part of a new DVD. This never happened. Shortly after the rumors began to fade from Internet blogs and forums, the Chicago O’Hare incident took its place in UFO archives.

This one time famous case has now taken front page status again, riding the shoulders of three new pieces of evidence from witnesses claiming to have irrefutable proof that a UFO did, in fact, hover over the busy airport in 2006.

New Witness Comes Forward

The first witness to come forward claimed to have sixty second footage of a disc-shaped object clearly seen hovering in the skies over the airport. When the video was first released, details were scant, but now he has come forward with a much more detailed report.

The witness stated that he was quite far from the airport, spotted the object, and with his Samsung SGH-D900, 3 Megapixel cell phone, took 60 seconds of film, although his sighting lasted about 2 minutes. He was facing Concourse C.

His footage was limited to 1 minute because of the lack of storage space on his camera. He stood on a wall with his hands above his head to get the footage.

Soon after his footage was posted on youtube, he was swamped with questions, and information. Part of this barrage of e-mail contained information pertaining to two new witnesses, both claiming to have corroborating, photographic evidence of the O’Hare UFO.

He also claimed that several large media companies offered him money for his footage, but he was not interested in putting his film in the hands of any organization that might attempt to debunk his evidence.

More Evidence Made Public

Details of the second witness are, as of this writing, still very limited. All we know is that, after seeing the first video on youtube, he decided to make his evidence public. His video footage is very similar to the first video.

The third witness was a pilot who was in the air when he, along with other crew members, saw the UFO hovering in the window of his plane. His flight attendants grabbed a camera, and took a photograph of the UFO. The pilot released details of he and his crew members’ report on March 28, 2009.

“On November 7, 2006, we had just left Chicago O’Hare Airport, roughly 10 minutes into the flight at 3:45 PM. We were cruising smoothly at 37,000 feet when suddenly our attention was drawn to a dark, solid, wingless, cigar/disc-shaped UFO which suddenly appeared in our view through the cockpit window.”

The pilot claimed that the UFO was “dangerously” close to the plane. He estimated the size of the object as 100 feet in diameter. Three crew members observed the UFO, the pilot, co-pilot, and flight attendant, who grabbed his 35 mm camera and took several photographs of the object.

They contacted Air Traffic Control immediately, but were told that no unknown object was being picked up on radar. The object was seen for about one minute, before it shot away at incredible speed.

A Comparison of the Photographs

After obtaining all of the current, recent evidence, I resized them to the approximate same size, and took a good look at all three simultaneously. Here are some of my conclusions, pending more evidence.

Considering the three photographs were taken at different times, at different angles, varying distances, and with different cameras, it is quite obvious that all three show an object of the same shape and size.

If one assumes that all three photographs are of the same object, only two theories can be considered.

(1) Three different witnesses, unbeknownst to each other, took photographs of the same object… or

(2) The three witnesses are involved in a conspiracy, and used the same graphic representation or 3D model to create their images to give the impression that they all saw and photographed the same UFO.

We are hopeful that more evidence will be made public, and the three witnesses will validate themselves to our satisfaction, knowing full well that we could be buying into a well planned hoax.

Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:07:46 -0500

An aircraft-carrier-sized asteroid known as Asteroid 2005 YU55 recently passed between the moon and Earth, making its closest pass to our planet in 200 years. According to NASA, strange structures were detected on the large asteroid as it passed Earth at an impressive 30,000mph.

According to the BBC, two radio telescopes–the Goldstone Observatory in California and the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico–recorded radio echoes off the asteroid “to understand better what it is made of and how it is shaped.” Scientists at the Goldstone Observatory assembled a short video of the asteroid using images generated from data acquired with the 230-foot-wide Deep Space Network antenna on November 7, 2011, between 11:24 a.m. and 1:35 p.m. PST. The images used to create this video are reportedly the highest resolution images ever made by radar of a near-Earth object.

NASA reports that the principal investigator for Asteroid 2005 YU55 observations, radar astronomer Lance Benner from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, stated about the video, “The animation reveals a number of puzzling structures on the surface that we don’t yet understand.” He further stated, “To date, we’ve seen less than one half of the surface, so we expect more surprises.”

So are these structures evidence of an extraterrestrial civilization? Some think so, while others think the usage of the term “structures” in this instance simply refers to anomalies on the asteroid’s surface. In either case, these “structures” have scientists puzzled, and their identity is unknown.

I don’t see any structures. Do you?

Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:47:44 -0500

What you think, what you know, and what you can prove are often very different scenarios as I was recently reminded by a colleague. This is especially true when concerning the Patterson Gimlin film of an alleged sasquatch/bigfoot. On October 20th 1967 Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin claimed to have captured film of a sasquatch and documented part of its trackway along with making plaster casts of the imprints left by the film subject.

I’m claiming that during the footage of Patterson casting a track there should be an impression visible past the one he is casting. There is not. During the footage showing 4 impressions there is now a footprint present past the one Patterson was casting previously. The ground in the footage of Patterson making the cast shows flat mud and no impression. (no following track present!) I’m also identifying the two scenes as one in the same location and impression. (the right impression being cast, is the same right footprint cast Patterson represents coming from the film subject)

It is not coincidence that Krantz documents Pattersons actions just by wild chance.

on Page 32 of ‘Big Footprints’ by Grover S. Krantz 1992 2nd paragraph: Krantz writes:

‘The shape of a footprint can be dug into the ground with the fingers and/or a hand tool, the interior pressed flat, and it can then be photographed or cast in plaster. My first footprint cast was made by a student in just this manner (Fig.10). Roger Patterson told me he did this once in order to get a movie of himself pouring a plaster cast for the documentary he was making. (A few days later, he filmed the actual Sasquatch; See Chapter 4).’

Krantz’s documentation of this also places Patterson making fake tracks at Bluff Creek, and making a film of it. The case of the missing print. How ironic is it that Patterson filmed proof of his own hoax?

Costa Rica 1970s UFO Photo Revisted

From ufo.about.com

Lake Cote, Costa Rica

In a letter sent to a group called Main Karinya Directory in Costa Rica, an extremely compelling account was revealed of the taking of a photograph of a silver disc-shaped UFO in 1971 in Costa Rica.

The UFO, tapered upward to a dome or central control unit, was photographed over Lake Cote as part of a Costa Rican mapping program . A state-of-the-art camera was used, pointing downward and snapping photographs every 17 seconds.

The UFO appears to be entering the water, as no water splash is seen, and one small side of the disc is hidden from view. Allegedly, the UFO was moving from right to left, at about a 30 degree angle. As the photo is rotated for display purposes, this would be from top to bottom.

The photograph itself reveals a very detailed view of water, the shoreline, and trees. It is one of the very few photographs taken of a UFO entering or exiting water. The photographer saw nothing unusual at the time that the image was taken.

It is not known how long of a time frame elapsed before the photograph was released for public view or analysis. However, in 1989, noted researchers Richard Haines and Jacques Vallee examined the photograph and released the following statement:

Photo Analysis

“In summary, our analyses have suggested that an unidentified, opaque, aerial object was captured on film at a maximum distance of 10,000 feet. There are no visible means of lift or propulsion and no surface markings other than dark regions that appear to be nonrandom… There is no indication that the image is the product of a double exposure or a deliberate fabrication” - [Haines, and Vallee,1989].

Importance of Photograph

It is rare that a photograph of a UFO receives such a clear cut validation by well known investigators. If you can imagine that the photograph shown here is a scale of 7 miles across, you can get some idea of the immense size of the UFO.

An interesting side note to the location of the photograph is that the area is well known for its UFO sightings, and researcher Andreas Faber-Kaiser claimed to have descended a tunnel in the same area that locals claim leads to the “Temple of the Moon.”

This temple, according to folklore, is part of an immense city built many years ago by extraterrestrial visitors. It is claimed that the city contains over 500 buildings.

He’s a hip-hop icon credited with single-handedly creating gangsta rap in the 1980s. Television viewers know him as Detective Odafin “Fin” Tutuola on the top-rated TV drama Law & Order: SVU. But where the hype and the headlines end, the real story of Ice-T—the one few of his millions of fans have ever heard—truly begins.

Ice is Ice-T in his own words—raw, uncensored, and unafraid to speak his mind. About his orphan upbringing on the gang-infested streets of South Central Los Angeles. About his four-year stint in the U.S. Army’s famed “Tropic Lightning” outfit. About his successful career as a hustler and thief, the car crash that nearly killed him, and the fateful decision to turn away from a life of crime and forge his own path to international entertainment stardom.

Ice by Ice-T is both a tell-it-like-it-is tale of redemption and a star-studded tour of the pop culture firmament. The acclaimed rapper and actor shares never-before-told stories about friends like Tupac, Dick Wolf, Chris Rock, and an antler-clad Flavor Flav, among others. Readers will ride along as Ice-T’s incendiary rock band Body Count narrowly escapes from a riotous mob of angry concertgoers in Milan, and listen in as the music legend battles the self-appointed censors over his controversial “Cop Killer” single.

Most of all, Ice is the place where one of the game’s most opinionated players breaks down his own secret plan for living, offering up candid observations on marriage and monogamy, the current state of hip-hop, and his latest passion: doing one-on-one gang interventions and mentoring at-risk youths around the country.

With insights into the cutthroat world of the street—and the cutthroat world of Hollywood—Ice is the inspirational story of a true American original.

Hysteria @ Texas High School:

Authorities in Houston are still searching for answers after an area high school football game was called off early after nearly two dozen fans were hospitalized after suddenly becoming sick in the stands of Barnett Stadium on Friday night.

During the second half of the game between Austin (Texas) High and Houston (Texas) Yates, many members of the band and dance team from Austin started suffering from nausea, vomiting and dizziness and began collapsing in the stands, according to numerous media reports.

Officials feared they had been exposed to some type of biohazard and called hazmet teams to the scene but no traces of gases or chemical agents were found.

Nevertheless, the stadium was cleared and the game was called with Yates leading, 47-14.

The students, many complaining of nausea, were sent for more medical evaluation.

“We ended up with 22 students being transported to five different hospitals,” Houston Fire Department assistant chief David Almaguer told the local FOX affiliate, KTRK-TV.

Food poisoning of some sort remains a possibility for the incident, but initially appears unlikely as those who were sick ate different meals at different times in different places before the game.

“The kids all ate at different places, some of them ate at different times … but they did have something in their stomachs,” Emergency Medical Services doctor David Purse told the station. “At this point, it remains a little unclear what set it off.”

Officials, however, aren’t taking any chances. A football game scheduled to be played there on Saturday afternoon has been moved to another location.

From Phenomenica.com

A large asteroid will have a close encounter with Earth on Nov. 8, NASA has revealed.

According to NASA, the asteroid 2005 YU55 will come within approximately 201,700 miles of Earth. That’s 0.85 the distance from Earth to the moon, ABC News reported.

This would give scientists a rare close-up of a space rock that could hold valuable clues to our planet’s origins as well as our potential interplanetary future.

Asteroids often pass this close, but they are too small to spark much interest.

This one is 1,300 feet wide - the size of an aircraft carrier. It is roughly spherical, spinning slowly and darker than charcoal, according to past NASA radar observations.

Don Yeomans, manager of NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program Office at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, Calif., said this flyby is an opportunity to learn more about c-type - that is, carbon-based asteroids in case one is threatening to hit us.

It will also offer “clues as to what it was like when our solar system was forming,” he said.

Asteroids like this one likely delivered organic, carbon-based materials to Earth, enabling life. “Without objects of this type, we probably wouldn”t be here,” he stated.

Moreover, c-type asteroids could be resources for future space exploration.

Because they often contain water resources and the compound that constitutes jet fuel, they could help us build “fuelling stations and watering holes for interplanetary travel,” Yeomans added.

August 2011 - an unknown flying object is seen slowly descending. Its estimated altitude drops approximately 50 meters during the time it was on video.

The object was moving in the skies above Bellas Artes. The original youtube video is raw, i.e. taken directly from camera to upload.

(Editor’s Note: We have done some minor adjustments to the original video: added a little brightness, and denoised to take away some of the pixelation.)
