UFO sightings in Nevada

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

 It is strange that the majority of UFO sightings are witnessed over the skies of the United States; it’s a fair bet to say that if you sat out every night and watched the skies you would see some form of weird flying object. And some states report more sightings than others.

Nevada is one of them; you hear about dolphin watching tours, whale watching tours - so why has no-one yet come up with their own version of Vegas vacations which focus on UFO spotting…?

I think it’s great runner - there’s a lot of weird stuff going on right now up there!

Are we suffering from information overload…?

It is official. The human race is suffering from ’information overload’ and we are all being advised to turn off the mobile phones ( something I would celebrate! ), unplug the computers, get off the nintendos and PSP’s, put away the iPods and find your way without the darn GPS.

And it is true; we are relying way too heavily on technology these days. Everything is either a blip on a screen or plugged into your ear. We shop online, flirt online, work online - we can buy products on cyberspace including everything from acne products to surrogate mothers.

We cannot do anything using our own brains anymore; we program things to tell us where to go and how to get ( often getting lost on the way ), we find our perfect mate by entering a few details and seeing our ideal match chosen for us…

Just imagine we actually DID spend 24 hours totally reliant on nothing more than our own instincts, knowledge and initiative. Or have we grown out of all that…?

Stonehenge - riddle solved at last !

The riddle of Stonehenge, that amazing puzzle that has truly captured the imagination of historians and scientists for many centuries, may finally have been solved. But how…?

Archaeologists have new evidence that the monument was built as a cemetery for influential Stone Age Britons and could even have been the burial ground for a long forgotten prehistoric royal family. The findings come from the first radiocarbon dating of charred human teeth and bones discovered at the site in the 1950s.

The detailed tests show that the bones were buried about 3000BC - the same time that Stonehenge was being created on England’s Salisbury Plain. The puzzle of Stonehenge has deeply intrigued historians for just on 2,000 years. More is known about the origins of the Moon than the world’s most famous stone circle.  Little is known about the human creators of Stonehenge - possibly farmers living at the end of the stone age and the start of the Bronze Age era’s.  They lived in villages made from wattle and ’clay’ houses - a mixture of chalk, plaster and used pottery.
