Hawaii Shark Attack Prince's $200M Estate UFO Report Is In:Bear, Government Can’t Untouched Explain What’s Out There Victim Also Had Remains Pentagon will step up its data collection on sightings Rattlesnake Run-Ins
The federal government released its anticipated report on UFOs confirming that more than 100 of them remain unidentified. After reviewing reports of sightings since 2004, the government can’t say whether they can be explained by atmospheric visual tricks or extraterrestrial life, or neither. There’s no evidence that aliens are behind the flights, but there’s no evidence that they’re not. There’s also no data to attribute the sightings to secret US weapons programs or unknown technology belonging to China or Russia, but the report said those remain possibilities. It said an American company could be behind the technology, but officials dismissed that. The full report, about what the government now calls unidentified aerial phenomena, can be read online.
Erriyon Knighton became the youngest male to make the US Olympic track and field team in nearly 60 years, and he also now has two big record-busters under his belt to boot. The 17-year-old came in third place in the finals for the men’s 200-meter race, clinching his spot on Team USA for the Tokyo Games. This achievement came after Knighton came The UAPs don’t all move the same way, the report says, so they might have in first in the semifinals with a time of varied origins. “Some UAP'The appeared to remain stationary in winds aloft, move Rock' Couldn't Make 19.88 seconds, a sprint that beat the against the wind, maneuver Teen's abruptly, orBut move Prom Still at considerable speed, without under-20 2004 record of 19.93 seconds discernible means of propulsion,Came ” the report Up Big says. One official said, “There is no set by a then-17-year-old Usain Bolt. In one answer about what these UAP are.” The lack of answers could well increase the finals, Knighton then proceeded to speculation about the possibilities.

Two Brothers Walked 2800 Feet While 1600 Feet in the Air In June, a group of 20 adventurers set a record for the longest highline ever to be walked in California. What that means: They walked 2,800 feet—while 1,600 feet in the air. Bay Area brothers Moises and 6 Shop In RI
Most wear safety harnesses while they do so, including the 26- and 23-year-old brothers, both of whom fell during their first attempts. Ultimately, Moises and another member of the group, Eugen Cepoi, were able to make it across the nylon line, which was one to two inches wide and a few millimeters
thick, without falling. It took Moises 37 minutes. Daniel says stringing the line, which they had approval from the park to do, was more dangerous than walking it. The record highline length for the entire US is 3,200 feet. The brothers, who are training to be rope-access technicians, hope to one day break that record too.
