g STARS - In the distant, young universe, quasars shine with a brilliance unmatched by anything in the local cosmos. Although they appear star-like in optical telescopes, quasars are actually the bright centers of galaxies located billions of light-years from Earth. See http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n0607/25quasar/.
g ABODES - One of the fundamental requirements for life as we know it is the presence of liquid water on (or below) a planet's surface. See http://astrobiology.arc.nasa.gov/palebluedot/abstracts/kasting.html.
g LIFE - Once upon a time, a 2-ton wombat lumbered across the Australian Outback. Around the same time, mammoths and saber-toothed tigers had the California coastline all to themselves. Millions of years before any of these animals existed, Tyrannosaurus rex and other colossal dinosaurs ruled the world. These and some of the other largest and most fantastic creatures ever to walk the planet are long gone, victims of mass extinctions of large beasts. And for reasons poorly understood, often the animals to fill the voids were tiny by comparison. See http://www.livescience.com/animalworld/060718 big animals.html.
g INTELLIGENCE - Researchers at Yale School of Medicine and the University of Oxford have identified the very first neurons in what develops into the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain that makes humans human. See http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/07/060721182137.htm.
g MESSAGE - Dan Werthimer, director of the SERENDIP SETI program and chief scientist of SETI@home at the University of California Berkeley, predicts we'll make first contact with an alien civilization in 50-100 years. See http://www.astroseti.org/danweng.php. Note: This article is from 2004.
g COSMICUS - Plans for a secretive commercial space venture backed by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos were coming under public review Tuesday at a government hearing. See http://www.space.com/news/ap 060725 bezosplan public.html.
g LEARNING - Here's a neat classroom activity courtesy of DiscoverSchool.com: "Extraterrestrials." In the activity, a digital radio message, intended to alert any intelligent life in space to the existence of intelligent life on Earth, has been electronically transmitted into space by the Arecibo radio dish in Puerto Rico. Students must ensure the message is effective by showing that the senders (humans from Earth) are capable of advanced thinking - but it must not depend on the ability of extraterrestrials to understand any Earth language. See http://school.discovery.com/lessonplans/
programs/extraterrestrials.rtfprograms/extraterrestrials.rtf.
g IMAGINING - Britain's Manchester Evening News termed it a hoax that "fooled the world." Well, not exactly: Skeptical Inquirer magazine was on to the 1995 "Alien Autopsy" film from the outset. But now the reputed creator of the fake extraterrestrial corpse used for the "autopsy" has publicly confessed. See http://www.livescience.com/othernews/060507 alien autopsy.html.
g AFTERMATH - Book alert: Science fiction writers have given us many fine novels contemplating humankind's first contact with intelligent extraterrestrials. But our nonfiction world has not thought much about what to do if we are actually faced with this situation. In "Extraterrestrial Intelligence," Jean Heidmann, chief astronomer at the Paris Observatory (and self-styled bioastronomer), offers a book on the subject that is at once serious and fun. Heidmann's obvious joy in raw speculation - all of it grounded in real science - is contagious. If aliens send us a message from many light years away, for example, how should we respond? Heidmann reviews the protocols established in the SETI Declaration and then offers his own suggestion: send them the entire contents of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Now, as everyone knows, the reports of Mothman and Bigfoot, as well as other weird events, around Point Pleasant, West Virginia, were mostly in one specific spot - the TNT area, outside of town. The location was used to manufacture TNT during World War II. The first thing the "airport" gentlemen from Indiana whom I met, who is consulting in Seneca, asked me when I mentioned the WVA site was, "Was it a DuPont factory?"
I didn't know, although I don't recall hearing DuPont associated with Mothman. But I now wonder what company (or spinoff or parent company) owned the TNT site near Point Pleasant. Something to think about and research later, when I return home unless a Cryptomundian finds the answer before then.
And as Andrew Colvin, author of Mothman's Photographer, notes several times in his book, the corporate connection with Mothman and the paranormal-Fortean world cannot be ignored; if nothing else, there is a strange and strong relationship between the two. How and why, that's another story.
The swimming Bigfoot and underground tunnels, pathways, rooms, mounds, etc. gives support to the theory Bigfoot lives underground.
recent UFO activity is connected to the Large Hadron Collider experiment
in Geneva.
A man called Anthony from Wales emailed a similar account of what he saw: "I was having a cigarette outside my front door on Saturday at
around 9pm and I looked over the roof tops and saw two orange-red
glowing lights coming from over the hill where I live.
"I called my wife and daughter to come and have a look, then a third light followed the other two. My wife phoned her father who lives not
far away and he saw them too. I then went to get my camera but by the
time I got it out the lights just vanished. Not knowing what they were I
decided to search the net to see if any one has seen the same as us and
I came across your picture which is exactly what we saw.
"We live in a little village in Swansea and after 47 years of looking up at night this is the first UFO I have ever seen."
He added: "Could it be something to do with that experiment they are doing under ground in Geneva letting out pockets of energy or
something?"
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most
powerful particle accelerator, intended to smash protons together in the
hope of learning more about the Big Bang theory. It was turned on to
much international press interest last week despite some scientists
calling for the experiment to be stopped, in fear it could lead to the
formation of mini black holes, which could expand and swallow the Earth.
Rachel Rijsdijk emailing from The Netherlands said she also saw similar orange lights last Saturday: "On Saturday night a week ago I was
driving on the highway, past a city called Eindhoven, and I saw three
orange round lights high in the sky. They were not moving, but hanging
in a triangle form."
Reg Lambert from Rugby emailed to tell us about his own recent
experience: "I and three others saw an orange light travelling
south-west to north-east over Rugby at about 8pm.
"It was travelling quite fast and was above the height of a few clouds around at an estimated height of 5000ft. A few minutes after
disappearing from view it reappeared travelling in the opposite
direction."
He added: "There was no flicker or variation, or colour change, and it was in a straight line."
David Hinde from North Yorkshire is adament such sightings are not sky lanterns after witnessing some strange lights in the sky near his home:
"I have seen the orange/red spheres in the skies above Speeton, moving
in ways no conventional aircraft move - diagonal, vertical and
horizontal movements, with no sound and no vapour trails - definitely
not sky lanterns."
Theorising on where the UFOs came from, he concluded: "I am personally of the opinion that these objects are not of this world and believe that
there is a continued cover up."

So that means there's no matter which on the whole challenging about shellfish. They are abominations in the eyes of our Member of the aristocracy."
John Thompson, of Bolingbrook's Division of Outer space Interaction, shielded the independence.
"The Obama Freedom is about people forthcoming collection. That includes people who repugnance maritime shelled aliens. We'll blow your own horn a shelled alien undergo a muted phraseology at the Pre-Inaugural Convivial on Monday.

For example asked if she would integrate along with her twin sister, Claudia, Juanita giggled, and imaginary. "She's my twin. We'll never be apart!"
