Keesler confirms jet training
Pascagoula - The boom that rattled windows in Pascagoula and Moss Point, swamped police phone lines and brought entire neighborhoods of people out of their homes to see what was happening was almost as much a mystery Wednesday as it was Tuesday night when it happened.
Keesler Air Force base told city police around 8:45 p.m. Tuesday the boom was caused by military jets on a training exercise in the Gulf, but that the jets were not from Keesler.
On Wednesday security at the base reconfirmed the jets had contacted the tower Tuesday night and were told there was a training exercise.
But what jets, and whose jets were flying at supersonic speeds over the Gulf at night?
A basketball-sized chunk of ice crashed through the roof of a family's Colorado home after apparently falling from an airplane passing overhead. Danelle Hagan and her 9-year-old daughter were at home in Brush on Saturday when they heard the kitchen ceiling come crashing down. They were not injured.
"I hear a huge, what sounded like an explosion. And I look over and my kitchen is basically in shambles," Hagan told KMGH-TV in Denver. "It was very terrifying."
The Federal Aviation Administration was sending investigators to the home to investigate whether the ice came from an airplane. The Hagans put some of the ice in their freezer.
FAA spokesman Mike Fergus said Wednesday the ice chunk appears to be "Rime ice," which can build up on the outside of a plane's fuselage when it flies through cold and wet air.

Liberal - - The 2-inch-diameter gun-metal black rock that 10-year-old Chandler Harp found Saturday in his Liberal backyard traveled a long way to get there.
"There's no question in my mind whatsoever that what they have is a meteorite," said Don Stimpson of Haviland, a biophysicist who owns the Kansas Meteorite Museum and Nature Center on U.S. 54/400 near Greensburg.
A fast moving meteor lit up the night skies over most of Utah just after midnight Wednesday. Moments later, the phones lit up at KSL as people across the state called to tell us what they saw and ask what it was.
Utahns are still talking Wednesday about what scientists are calling a "remarkable midnight fireball." The source of all the excitement was basically a rock, falling from space. When a meteor enters the atmosphere, it gives off a lot of heat and light.
Folks at the Clark Planetarium say this rock was big--between the size of a microwave and washer-dryer unit.
This is the ghostly picture taken at the former Roe Valley Hospital showing a nurse like figure holding a baby that has put paranormal sceptics in a spin, and sparked fresh supernatural investigations into the grounds.
The photo, taken by a night time LCDI security guard just a few months ago, has been deemed by experts as authentic and reignited examinations into the ghoulish goings on at the former workhouse. The picture was passed onto paranormal investigators at the Paranormal Society Ireland who analysed the photo for two to three months before releasing it. LCDI manager Damien Corr, the first person to be shown the picture, says he was taken aback by the image.
If reports are to believed, on the Utah Idaho border, near the Bear Lake it seems that the Bear Lake Monster is again surfacing and seen. A creature which sometimes resembles like a beast, walrus or a dinosaur was first sighted in 2004. The locals call it the Bear Lake Monster and it originally grew from articles in the 19th century by Joseph C Rich, a Mormon Colonizer in the area.
The Bear Lake monster also appears in Animal Planet's Lost Tapes.
The Bear Lake Monster is believed to be like a huge brown snake of around 90 feet long. It has ears that stick out from the side of its skinny head and its big mouth is capable enough to eat a man. Many say that it has small legs and can swim very fast, even faster than a horse can gallop.

Witness Statement: It was over cast all day with no breaks in the cloud, i looked over my friends shoulder while waiting for a train and a flat darker grey object was dropping around 2 miles away (estimate) from the dark grey cloud, rectangular in shape, it then disapeared into the cloud and came back out back and was a round disk shape then tilted the other way and went back into the cloud, I showed this as it was happening to my friend and he seen it also, when it came back out of the cloud again it looked like it was getting closer to the bottom of the clouds and a thought of it crashing went through my head.

Location of Sighting: Gretna, Dumfriesshire, Scotland
Date of Sighting: 01/11/09
Time: 15:10 approx
Witness Statement: 3 white globes traveling in a triangular formation from the North East to South East then rapidly changing direction to head south West. Definitely not satellites or any recognisable aircraft, difficult to determine height or speed although they covered about 180 degrees of sky in about 2 mins so seemed to be traveling very rapidly. At a guess I would say they were traveling at above the height of a typical cumulus cloud although the skies were virtually clear at the time and it was hard to make a good

2 bright lights at either side with flashing light in the middle.
This looked at first sight like a distant aircraft coming in for a landing in line with the M9. But as I got closer it became clear it was COMPLETELY stationary and just a 150 ft-250ft above the motorway. I drove under it.

"There is no more important struggle for American democracy than ensuring a diverse, independent and free media. Free Press is at the heart of that struggle." Bill Moyers
"This is, in theory, still a free country, but our politically correct, censorious times are such that many of us tremble to give vent to perfectly acceptable views for fear of condemnation. Freedom of speech is thereby imperiled, big questions go undebated, and great lies become accepted, unequivocally as great truths." Simon Heffer in The Daily Mail, 7 June 2000
