Signs In The Sky

Niagara Falls residents and tourists were left to ponder after seeing an unusual, spectral pattern in the night sky over the tourist district for a period between 9 p.m. and midnight on Oct 17 2009.


Some say the unidentified phenomenon looked like a metallic object hovering motionless and without sound.


"At first it look like a circular tear in the sky," said Joshua Green, who lives on Rob More..inson Street.


"When the spotlights from the casino would rotate, they would hit the object . . . and it would illuminate the object and create a flash coming back down.


"I had never seen anything like that before."


I called my sister and told her to go outside and look at the sky. I called my father to see if he had any idea what might be. He went outside and said he's never seen anything like that."

A tourist said he and his wife were walking along Victoria Avenue near Clifton Hill when they noticed "everybody on the street was looking up in the night sky."


Scott Jordan wrote: "When the four search lights that light up the night sky (over Niagara Falls) came together it appeared like there was something in the sky and it was reflecting the light."


A Niagara Regional Police spokesman said Sunday afternoon he was unaware of any reports coming into police overnight.


Mayor Ted Salci was surprised to hear about the unusual incident, too.


Salci said if it was some kind of object, he doesn't know what it could have been.

What is going on in our world? Recently there has been an upsurge of UFO sightings. Is something big getting ready to happen? Look at the video below and tell me what you think.

Meteor or Something Else?

No one was injured after a meteorite fell near a small town in northern Latvia on Sunday, local Latvian media reported.



According to media reports, the meteorite fell near a residential house on the outskirts of Mazsalaca town in the Valmiera district of Latvia, leaving a crater of some 20 meters (66 feet) in di More..ameter and 10 meters (33 feet) deep.

A spokesperson for the Latvian State Fire and Rescue Service said that rescuers and soldiers immediately cordoned off the territory, however, it is still not clear whether it was an asteroid or a space satellite.

"The territory has been immediately cordoned off as we still do not know what fell down from the sky. According to preliminary information, it was a meteorite. However, it is possible that it was a [space] satellite or its fragment. A radioactive contamination is also possible," she said.

A witness, who saw the object falling from the sky and leaving a burning trace behind, said it was making a noise similar to the one of an aircraft flying at a low altitude. What did crash in Latvia and how did the military get there so quickly? I don't think we'll ever know. What do you guys think?

"V" (The Visitors)

V: The Series was a one-hour weekly television series that aired in the United States on NBC in 1984-85. I remember watching it every time it would come on I was six years old at the time and I loved the show From time to time I go on YOUTUBE and watch some of the episodes to remenisce. You can only imagine how excited I was when I heard that the series was coming back this Fall! My first thought was. "Awesome!" my second thought was, "I hope they don't screw it up like they did with the re-make of Knight Rider!" Knight Rider was another show I grew up watching and in my opinion they killed it! I am definitely looking forward to the new series and I hope it's as addictive as "Flashforward." Below I have posted some sneak peeks to the show. Enjoy. Remember, they are of peace...always.

Here comes Microsoft!

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp's first store looks ready to open in an upscale Phoenix valley city in the next few days, as the software maker takes its first step in trying to match rival Apple Inc's successful venture into retail.
Expectations are running high that its first store, in the Fashion Square Mall in Scottsdale, Arizona, will open next week, to coincide with the launch of Microsoft's new Windows 7 operating system next Thursday.


The site is still boarded up, but a peek through an open door reveals lights and shelving all ready for customers and a large, flat-screen display running along the walls.


Microsoft has so far been coy about its retail plans and a company spokeswoman would not officially pin down an opening date beyond "the fall."


Chief executive Steve Ballmer teased reporters with an imminent opening on Friday, but also would not commit to a date.


"We'll open a couple of stores, try to improve, open a couple more stores," Ballmer said at a public appearance in downtown Boston.

"It's very important for us to have a direct connection with the user," said Ballmer, talking about the planned stores, which he said will be important for "showing the customer what you really can do."


Microsoft unveiled its plan to open stores in February, in emulation of Apple, hiring a former Wal-Mart Stores Inc executive to run them.


In July, Microsoft's chief operating officer said the company would open up stores "right next door" to Apple stores. The nearest Apple store to Scottsdale is several miles away in Phoenix.

The 4WD with seats made of WHAT?!!

A Russian armoured-car builder is boasting that its latest vehicle has seats covered with “whale-penis leather”.


The €1 million ($1.6 million) Dartz Prombron Monaco Red Diamond Edition armoured car has been developed by the same company, RussoBaltique, that built armoured vehicles for Tsar Nicholas, Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky.

On its official website, the company says the whale-penis leather is the same as that used by Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis on the yacht Christina O.


Onassis is rumoured to have had some of the barstools on the yacht, the world’s most expensive at the time, covered in the controversial leather.


The leather is not the only tacky accessory on the Prombron, which Dartz claims is the world’s most expensive SUV.


The bulletproof windows are gold-plated, the exhaust is made of tungsten, the gauges are encrusted with diamonds and rubies and the exterior has a Kevlar coating.


The car also comes with three bottles of the world’s most expensive Vodka, RussoBaltique, although the website does warn prospective buyers not to drink and drive.


The vehicle is being specially prepared for the ultra-exclusive Top Marques luxury motor show in Monaco next year.


Dartz’s armoured vehicles weigh roughly 4 tonnes, are powered by V8s putting out between 300kW and 400kW and are “rocket grenade-proof” according to the website.


For those wondering just how may whales may need to be harvested to outfit the special edition, the answer is not many. The penis of the Blue Whale, for example, can grow up to 2.4 metres. 

PETA is going to have a major problem with this!

GO DODGER BLUE!

I will never forget the day I saw Kirk Gibson hit a two-run, walk off home run, winning the game for the Dodgers, 5-4 back in 1988. I have always been a Dodgers fan ever since I was 7 years old. I have been waiting for the Dodgers to be champions again ever since then. 2009 has been an awesome year for the Dodgers and Joe Torre. The Dodgers ended their regular 2009 season with the best record in the National League despite Manny’s suspensions. However that doesn’t surprise me the Dodgers have always been a strong team. Today is the first game of the 2009 NLCS. The Dodgers will be facing the Phillies. I am extremely excited to see the game tonight I only wish I could be watching it from Dodger Stadium while eating a Dodger Dog and some Cracker Jacks rather than in my living room in Phoenix, AZ. I remember going to Dodger Stadium growing up it was always a good time! All this year I have said that this is the Dodgers year to be champions again! Dodgers fans lets show the world how deep Dodgers blue runs through our veins!! Millions of fans are rooting for you Dodgers. I will definitely will be with you in spirit. I am looking forward to more great memories from this NLCS!

                                       GO DODGER BLUE!!
