Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program
December 2017 New York Times story by Helene Cooper, Ralph Blumenthal
and Leslie Kean about the Defense Department’s Advanced Aerospace Threat
Identification Program, which was tasked with cataloguing UFOs recorded by
military pilots. DoD officials confirmed its existence.
Though this story generated some justified skepticism, it represented the first time
the U.S. government acknowledged the existence of such a program.

Not pumpkin Orange, but radioactive Day-Glo Green
Just after the area 51 raid we get this-
July 2019
The animal’s sex organs and tongue had been removed.
All the blood was gone.
In the next few days, four more Hereford bulls were found
within 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers) in the same condition.
There were no tracks around the carcasses.
(Breeding bulls cost thousands of dollars each.)
“To lose a completely healthy animal would be an oddity,”
Marshall said. “To lose five young, very healthy, in great shape,
perfect bulls that are all basically the same age … that is so
outside the bounds of normal activity.”
Marshall speculates the bulls were darted with a tranquilizer
that knocked them out. While some people acted as lookouts,
others bled the animals out by inserting a large-gauge needle
into the tongue and into an artery, then removed the organs
after the heart stopped beating, he surmised.

Reality-
Some of the mutilations can be attributed to natural causes.
An animal drops dead, the blood pools at the bottom of the
carcass, it bloats, and the skin dries out and splits.
The tears often appear surgical. Carrion bugs, birds and
other scavengers go for the soft tissues.
They shot the bull in the family jewels, then removed the evidence ?
Does slicing off the family jewels cause the animal to bleed out ?
Pails of blood.
Bathe in the blood, and burn the internal organs on the altar as a sacrifice to ?
The person dedicating the sacrifice lay in a pit with a perforated board
placed over the pit’s opening. A bull was slaughtered above him, and
the person in the pit bathed in the blood streaming down.

Bulls sacrifced, to honor the diety that granted victory in battle ?
A purification ritual ?

What is the history of Daylight Saving Time?
The concept dates back more than a century when English architect
William Willett proposed the idea to change the clocks in 1907 in
The Waste of Daylight. The suggestion of using daylight more
efficiently may even be traced back to Benjamin Franklin.
While visiting in Paris in 1784, he wrote a letter to the editors
of the Journal of Paris calling for a tax on every Parisian whose
windows were shuttered after sunrise to “encourage the economy
of using sunshine instead of candles,” according to Michael Downing,
author of Spring Forward: The Annual Madness of Daylight Saving Time.

No...Not that Bowling Green!
But on a more serious note, Chelsea Clinton called the massacre “completely fake”
and urged people not to “make up attacks.”
Very grateful no one seriously hurt in the Louvre attack ...
or the (completely fake) Bowling Green Massacre.
Please don't make up attacks.

This Bowling Green!
More than 200 years before Charging Bull landed in Bowling Green,
the New York City park was home to a different kind of symbolic bully:
a statue of King George III.
http://mentalfloss.com/article/606231/bowling-green-king-george-iii-statue-arm-auction
Five days after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, around 40 soldiers
and sailors snuck into a small Manhattan park called Bowling Green. Operating
under the cover of darkness, these rebellious patriots draped ropes across the
park’s centerpiece—a 4,000-pound equestrian statue of England’s reviled
George III—and toppled it over. Then, they melted the monarch’s likeness
down, using its remnants to cast 42,088 bullets.
As postmaster Ebenezer Hazard wrote to General Horatio Gates in the days
following the act, “[The king’s] statue here has been pulled down to make
musket ball of, so that his troops will probably have melted Majesty fired
at them.”

Doggone it!
How an 18,000-year-old puppy could change everything we know about dogs
27 November 2019
Name: Dogor.
Appearance: Sharp teeth, soft nose, fluffy all over, cute as hell.
Age: 18,000 years and two months.
That’s very precise. How do we know all this? Dogor was found by
tusk hunters in the summer of 2018, buried in the permafrost near
the Indigirka River, north-east of Yakutsk, Siberia.
Ah yes. I know it well. Radiocarbon dating shows that Dogor is 18,000 years old,
but he was so well preserved that even his eyelashes and whiskers are in good
condition. On close inspection, scientists were able to tell that he was a puppy
aged two months when he died.
So far, DNA analysis has not been able to establish Dogor’s species.
He might have been a very early modern wolf. He might have been
a very late ice-age wolf. He might even have been be a very early
domesticated dog.

A Ritual Begun Before the Founding of Rome
The Lupercalia also played an important role in the life
(and death) of Julius Caesar. Shakespeare chose the
festival as the opening of the second scene of his play
Julius Caesar, probably based on an account in Plutarch’s
work Lives of Noble Greeks and Romans. The great dictator
had prepared his own political spectacle under the guise of
the Lupercalia chaos and had made his ally, Mark Antony,
the captain of the Luperci. In front of the festive crowds,
the wolf-man Antony ran up to Caesar in the Forum and
offered him a royal crown – a strict taboo in Rome, where
the early kings had been vanquished to form the republic.
But by 44BC, Caesar’s powers were unprecedented,
comparable to those of a king: an impossible position in
the republican Roman system. The Senate was concerned
that he might declare himself king; Caesar therefore tried
to use the popular festival to make a statement. Before the
gathered Romans, Antony thrice offered Caesar a crown –
and three times Caesar rejected it. This public rejection of
power was meant to alleviate the Senate’s concerns.
Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect.
The Lupercalia of 44BC happened exactly one month before
Caesar’s assassination on the Ides of March.
Despite this evidence of the importance of the Lupercalia
festival, the actual sanctuary of the Lupercal is proving
difficult to pin down. We know that the wolf-men started
their ritual run from the cave, but its location has become
a subject of controversy. The Italian archaeologist Andrea
Carandini and his associates claimed to have discovered the
site back in 2006, to great fanfare in the international press.
However, other archaeologists demonstrated that the “discovery”
was already known in the late 19th century and it was in fact
a nymphaeum, a fountain-like structure.
"If archaeological research were conducted in this area,
it would yield most promising results. The discovery of the
Lupercal would be the find of a century: the cave of Romulus
and Remus with their she-wolf stepmother, an icon of Rome
wherever its empire spread."
