Smart Bombs: They Made America A Military Monster
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Smart Bombs, Middle East* Do they really enable America to fight wars more cheaply, with a better chance of success, and with lower overall costs in terms of blood and treasure? *Here's What You Need To Know:* The growth of the PGM complex appears to have had a significant, independent effect on how the United States uses military force to accomplish national ends.

Coast to Coast - American Airlines Sighting and Cigar-Shaped Craft
KRandle, A Different Perspective - 5 hours ago
There is more information about the American Airlines flight and their UFO sighting, though the information is very fluid. Fran Ridge has been working on the case and on Monday suggested that the object seen by the flight crew was a Lear Jet flying 5000 feet above the airliner. But then, on Wednesday, he reported that it couldn’t have been the Lear because the Lear’s transponder was on and it would have been seen on the airliner’s TCAS system, not to mention the jet would have been visible to the airline pilots. He also reported that it wasn’t a missile test from White Sands b...

“NGC 253 is not only one of the brightest spiral galaxies visible, it is also one of the dustiest. Discovered in 1783 by Caroline Herschel in the constellation of Sculptor, NGC 253 lies only about ten million light-years distant. NGC 253 is the largest member of the Sculptor Group of Galaxies, the nearest group to our own Local Group of Galaxies. The dense dark dust accompanies a high star formation rate, giving NGC 253 the designation of starburst galaxy. Visible in the above photograph is the active central nucleus, also known to be a bright source of X-rays and gamma rays.” - http...
"How the Brain Stops Time"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 5 hours ago
*"How the Brain Stops Time"* by Jeff Wise "One of the strangest side-effects of intense fear is time dilation, the apparent slowing-down of time. It's a common trope in movies and TV shows, like the memorable scene from "The Matrix" in which time slows down so dramatically that bullets fired at the hero seem to move at a walking pace. In real life, our perceptions aren't keyed up quite that dramatically, but survivors of life-and-death situations often report that things seem to take longer to happen, objects fall more slowly, and they're capable of complex thoughts in what would n...
