"This camera from Sprays Landscape in Cheboygan Michigan faces east-northeast which means this meteor fell and landed (broke apart) somewhere over Lake Huron or Ontario," said Michigan Storm Watchers. Macomb Wx reported that a fireball was spotted at 8:47:22 p.m. and lasted 4.7 seconds in Macomb Township, facing northeast. "The Canadians are attacking!!!" said Richard Evans on the Michigan Storm Chasers post. Viewers listed sightings near Saugatuck; Coloma; and Sombra, Ontario. Reddit users in Toronto said they saw the fireball, too. https://www.sott.net/article/508397-Meteor-fireball-spotted-in-night-sky-in-Michigan-on-September-13 Tue, 15 Sep 2026 12:29:50 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508396-Drenching-rains-bring-flash-flooding-across-coastal-Connecticut-New-York-and-New-Jersey-rainfall-rate-of-up-to-4-inches-in-an-hour Flash flooding brought on by heavy rains prompted road closures, water rescues and commuter rail problems across the tristate area Sunday. The National Weather Service said the hardest-hit areas appeared to be northern New Jersey, parts of New York's Westchester County and a swath of coastal Connecticut along Interstate 95. The service issued flash flood warnings across the region for much of the morning Sunday as rain fell at a rate of 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 centimeters) an hour in places. Metro-North and Amtrak said their rail lines to New Haven, which serve Norwalk, Bridgeport and other major Connecticut communities, were experiencing delays and cancellations due to flooding impacts. Tweed New Haven Airport also closed its departures terminal due to local flash flooding. Airport officials in a Facebook post said travelers with flights departing Sunday should not come until further notice. Connecticut Gov.

Or according to which designs? Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in July 2006 that we were witnessing the "birth pangs of a new Middle East" toward a pro-Western regional order. But here we are 2 decades later, and the region is decidedly less pro-Western than it was before 9/11. Has Al-Qaeda won?! Osama bin Laden's 1996 fatwa sought to "expel the polytheists [US military forces] from the Arabian Peninsula." That hasn't happened, yet, although the current Houthi push to rid Yemen of Saudi occupation forces could yet impact the balance of power across the whole peninsula. Denigrated as 'proxies' of Iran, their successes mirror Iran's chokehold in the Strait of Hormuz on US 'reshaping ambitions'. 9/11 was meant to be the "catastrophic and catalyzing event" the US needed to 'lock down' the Middle East and "prevent the rise of competing powers," thus delivering... https://www.sott.net/article/508395-NewsReal-From-9-11-to-the-Strait-of-Hormuz-What-Went-Wrong Tue, 15 Sep 2026 10:54:56 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508394-Over-31000-evacuated-as-heavy-rain-lashes-south-Chinas-Hainan-28-7-inches-of-rainfall-in-24-hours-for-Wuzhishan More than 31,000 people have been evacuated from at-risk areas in south China's Hainan province as persistent heavy rain battered parts of the island, Xinhua reported. As of Sunday evening, 31,564 people had been relocated to safer areas, though no major disasters had been reported, according to the provincial committee for disaster prevention, mitigation and relief. Rainfall exceeded 300 millimeters in 24 townships across six cities and counties between Friday morning and Sunday afternoon, including Wanning, Lingshui and Qionghai. Changfeng Township in Wanning recorded the highest rainfall at 452.1 millimeters, with more rain forecast through Monday. https://www.sott.net/article/508394-Over-31000-evacuated-as-heavy-rain-lashes-south-Chinas-Hainan-28-7-inches-of-rainfall-in-24-hours-for-Wuzhishan Tue, 15 Sep 2026 09:21:06 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508393-Why-do-these-fossil-shells-flip-their-spirals-every-few-millennia The mystery of the flipping foraminifera may conceal a rarely observed evolutionary process playing out across the planet. For thousands and sometimes millions of years, marine plankton all over the world built their spiral shells in one direction. Then, suddenly, the spirals switched direction at the same time, everywhere, only to switch back again later. These microorganisms are types of foraminifera, or forams. Found in all oceans, from the tropics to high latitudes, they're among the most abundant eukaryotic organisms on Earth. The single-celled protists secrete a hard shell perforated with many small holes; most species live on the seafloor, while some are planktonic, at the mercy of currents. When they die, their shells blanket the seafloor across the world, forming a natural archive of Earth's history that goes back some 560 million years. https://www.sott.net/article/508393-Why-do-these-fossil-shells-flip-their-spirals-every-few-millennia Mon, 14 Sep 2026 22:00:26 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508392-Merciless-kindness-Britains-economic-war-on-America-and-the-long-shadow-over-the-Iran-sanctions A chokepoint is not a wall. It is a tollbooth — expensive, annoying, survivable — and the traffic always finds another way around. That is the single lesson I would press on anyone in Washington who believes the dollar can be made into a cage for Iran, and it is a lesson the last great naval hegemon paid for in starved cities and a needless war. Britain held the sea lanes in 1812; the United States holds the dollar-clearing system in 2026. Both powers convinced themselves that command of the arteries of commerce could bend a rival without fighting him. Both discovered that a blockade, whether of ships or of payments, leaks — because networks reroute, and a determined adversary treats the chokepoint as a toll to be paid rather than a barrier that stops him. I want to walk through why I think the parallel is exact rather than poetic, because when you lay the two systems side by side they line up almost part for part, and so — so far — do their results. https://www.sott.net/article/508392-Merciless-kindness-Britains-economic-war-on-America-and-the-long-shadow-over-the-Iran-sanctions Mon, 14 Sep 2026 21:33:47 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508391-Mayor-Karen-Bass-snubs-House-Committee-hearing-on-LA-homeless-fraud-allegations Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has refused to appear at a House committee hearing investigating alleged fraud at the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority and could now face a congressional subpoena. The House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, led by Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., had requested that Bass testify Tuesday, Sept. 15, about alleged waste, fraud, and abuse at LAHSA, which has received more than $1 billion in federal funds since 2021. When the Daily Signal asked whether Burchett would consider subpoenaing Bass to testify at a later date, a spokesperson for the chairman said, "All options are on the table." https://www.sott.net/article/508391-Mayor-Karen-Bass-snubs-House-Committee-hearing-on-LA-homeless-fraud-allegations Mon, 14 Sep 2026 21:13:39 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508390-Paul-Otlets-Mundaneu-The-internet-before-there-was-an-internet Comment: As this article is over ten years old, one may skip the overly optimistic paragraphs on the possibilities of the Web as as repository of knowledge. But carry on to Otlet's vision and his efforts to realize it. Fascinating! Belgian information activist Paul Otlet envisioned some of the possibilities of today's Web more than a century before its existence. More than a century ago, Belgian information activist Paul Otlet envisioned a universal compilation of knowledge and the technology to make it globally available. He foresaw, in other words, some of the possibilities of today's Web. Otlet's ideas provide an important pivot point in the history of recording knowledge and making it accessible. In classical times, the best-known example of the knowledge enterprise was the Library of Alexandria. This great repository of knowledge was built in the Egyptian city of Alexandria around 300 BCE by Ptolemy I and was destroyed between 48 BCE and 642 CE, supposedly by one or more... https://www.sott.net/article/508390-Paul-Otlets-Mundaneu-The-internet-before-there-was-an-internet Mon, 14 Sep 2026 20:54:12 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508389-The-West-is-watching-the-wrong-Ukrainian-collapse Missiles and territorial losses dominate the headlines, while the deeper rupture between state and society goes largely unnoticed Last weekend, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Moscow and then Kiev. This was the first such visit in a long time, since all trilateral contacts between Russia, the US, and Ukraine were practically halted following the start of the conflict in Iran this February. Following the visit, leaks regarding the talks emerged from Kiev; reportedly, the US envoys presented the Ukrainian side with a 28-point Russian peace plan that had been agreed upon a year earlier. Jared Kushner indirectly confirmed this on Saturday, stating that the territorial issue was the only point of the peace plan that remained unresolved. Is it true that Ukraine accepted all the other fundamental demands of the Russian side - such as the points concerning the Russian language and the status of the Orthodox Church, the renunciation of military cooperation with NATO, the... https://www.sott.net/article/508389-The-West-is-watching-the-wrong-Ukrainian-collapse Mon, 14 Sep 2026 20:33:34 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508388-21-air-safety-concerns-raised-Amazon-contract-under-criticism-after-deadly-Boeing-767-crash Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: The deadly Boeing 767 cargo crash at Miami International Airport (MIA) is drawing renewed scrutiny on 21 Air, the North Carolina-based carrier that operated the Amazon Air flight, as former employees describe years of alleged safety concerns and investigators examine how the company worked with Amazon. The September 6 crash killed five people after the aircraft overran Runway 30, crossed airport boundaries, and struck vehicles on the ground. Five others were injured. The National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) preliminary findings have also raised questions about the flight crew's handling of an unstable landing. The 767 touched down at 158 knots, or roughly 182 mph, and the crew briefly increased engine power in what investigators say was consistent with an attempted go-around. The throttles were then reduced, braking resumed, and the aircraft continued beyond the runway. The NTSB found no indication that speed brakes or... https://www.sott.net/article/508388-21-air-safety-concerns-raised-Amazon-contract-under-criticism-after-deadly-Boeing-767-crash Mon, 14 Sep 2026 20:26:21 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508387-Trump-rejects-AI-giants-warnings-of-existential-threat The US president has argued that Washington cannot afford to slow down as China rapidly closes the technological gap. US President Donald Trump has brushed aside mounting warnings from leading artificial intelligence executives that increasingly powerful AI could pose an existential threat to humanity, insisting that Washington's priority should be defeating China in the technological race. Speaking to reporters in Ireland on Sunday, Trump acknowledged that some safeguards could be introduced but suggested the dangers were being exaggerated by unspecified "negative forces." "We're leading China in AI, we're the most sophisticated country in the world, and frankly I want to keep it that way... Whoever wins AI wins. Critics are raising scenarios that 'won't happen'." 'Just slow down yourselves' Trump's remarks came after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for slowing frontier AI development, warning that increasingly autonomous systems could soon improve their own capabilities, evade... https://www.sott.net/article/508387-Trump-rejects-AI-giants-warnings-of-existential-threat Mon, 14 Sep 2026 20:09:30 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508386-Why-Jamaicas-petition-to-King-Charles-is-rattling-Western-capitals Decades in the making, the September 7 filing brings a direct legal challenge against the British Crown for its ties to the slave system. On September 7, 2026, a high-level Jamaican delegation delivered a historic legal petition to Buckingham Palace addressed to King Charles III. Its objective was to compel the monarch, as Jamaica's head of state, to refer to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the island's highest court of appeal, three questions that have haunted the British Empire for centuries: - Was the forced transportation of Africans to Jamaica and their subsequent enslavement lawful? - Did this system constitute a crime against humanity? - Does the United Kingdom bear an obligation to make reparation for slavery and its enduring consequences? Culture Minister Olivia Grange, who led the delegation, shared a photo on X of herself holding the document aloft, captioned: "The petition has been filed." King Charles III was not present at the handover.

Arab governments may hold legal title to some of the world's most advanced weapons, yet ownership does not confer operational sovereignty. A fighter aircraft without approved munitions, spare parts, software updates, mission data, or specialist maintenance is an expensive object on a runway. Washington does not need a secret button to switch off an ally's arsenal. Control over the system surrounding the weapon can produce the same result gradually, selectively, and under the cover of contracts, export rules, and routine technical support. https://www.sott.net/article/508385-Washingtons-invisible-military-kill-switch Mon, 14 Sep 2026 20:08:09 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508384-AI-giants-call-for-slowdown-over-serious-risks Industry leaders are backing closer oversight of increasingly powerful artificial intelligence models. OpenAI chief Sam Altman and xAI owner Elon Musk have backed calls to immediately slow the development of increasingly powerful AI models. Their statements came after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI could outpace human control and cause catastrophic damage within months. Four days ago, researcher Jacob Coxon publicly resigned from Anthropic, accusing both the company and his previous employer, OpenAI, of racing towards self-improving super-intelligence without "acting responsibly." He also claimed that the technology could "kill us all" by the end of the decade. In a 3,800-word essay published on his personal website on Saturday, Amodei, who co-founded Anthropic with his sister Daniela in 2021, outlined "serious" dangers, including loss of control over AI systems, their misuse for cyberattacks and bioterrorism, and major economic disruption.

The argument is straightforward and, once stated, almost obvious: space is not primarily a government achievement that private enterprise has recently colonized, it is the other way around. The state involvement of the Cold War — from Sputnik to Apollo — was an historical anomaly. What we are living through now — with SpaceX, Blue Origin, and a swarm of smaller ventures — is a return to form. Zitelmann frames the space economy as the next great frontier of human innovation, no less consequential than the opening of the New World or the industrial revolutions that followed it, and he wants the reader to understand that frontier as fundamentally entrepreneurial territory rather than bureaucratic terrain. That historical argument gets its spine from the deep, often-forgotten record of privately-funded space science.

The fireball was observed by a wide number of casual eyewitnesses, who reported it on social networks. The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from an asteroid that hit the atmosphere at about 47,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the province of Sevilla (Spain). It began at an altitude of about 80 km over the locality of Aznalcóllar (province of Sevilla), moved northeast, and ended at a height of around 32 km over the locality of Villanueva del Río y Minas (province of Sevilla). This bright meteor was recorded in the framework of the SMART project, operated by the Southwestern Europe Meteor Network (SWEMN) from the meteor-observing stations located at Huelva, La Hita (Toledo), Calar Alto (Almería), Sierra Nevada, La Sagra (Granada), Sevilla, and Mazagón (Huelva).

The ski resort posted a video on its social media of the snow falling and reported that the snow started falling Saturday night and was still falling Sunday morning. Approximately 7 inches of snow fell at the time of the social media post. It was the first snow of the season at the mountain that stuck to the ground. Even though Crystal Mountain's last weekend of its summer operations is next week, it seems that winter can't wait to get started in the Pacific Northwest this season. "We are still open for summer operations, so come prepared for a true mountain weather day," Crystal Mountain's website said. "Expect snow and winter-like conditions on the upper mountain, cooler temperatures, and potentially slick surfaces."

The male whale shark was first spotted by a local resident at around 5 a.m., according to the Jembrana Police. Police and relevant agencies were subsequently alerted and went to the site to assist with the handling of the animal. Following examination, the animal was confirmed to be a male whale shark (Rhincodon typus), measuring approximately eight metres in length, 3.5 metres in width, with a body circumference of 4.8 metres and a mouth measuring 2.15 metres across. https://www.sott.net/article/508379-8-meter-whale-shark-found-dead-and-buried-in-Bali-Indonesia-on-September-12 Mon, 14 Sep 2026 11:56:52 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508378-One-killed-by-lightning-during-football-match-in-Uganda A 23-year-old player died after lightning struck a football pitch during a parish tournament in Buwama, Mpigi District.

These men tell us how they helped develop an AI mapping tool that trawled for phone signals and recommended apartment buildings in Gaza to bomb. Indirectly, they admit, they are responsible for thousands of deaths, but they never spoke up because that wasn't their place. "My role is technical," says one. "I'm just a small cog," says another. NAZA - directed by the Israeli film-makers Rachel Szor and Yuval Abraham and produced by the Guardian - is a chilling documentary about a mass slaughter that was authorised at the highest levels of government.

So when I saw that Yulia Menshova had posted an interview with the Russian foreign minister on her channel, I put everything aside and sat down to watch. Minister Lavrov rarely gives personal interviews. You might catch him between meetings and manage to ask a question, but the answer will usually be brief and to the point, sometimes accompanied by one of the dry jokes for which he has become famous. Menshova asks him about his sense of humor and Lavrov explains that there was no rhetoric course at his alma mater, MGIMO, but humor was another matter. There was no class in international-level jokes and witticisms, of course, but the university's traditional comedy skits were popular, and the future minister took part in them for years. https://www.sott.net/article/508373-The-unlikely-appeal-of-Sergey-Lavrov-to-Russias-Generation-Z Sun, 13 Sep 2026 21:13:11 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508372-Progress-Moscow-reveals-potential-timeline-for-trilateral-Ukraine-talks Negotiations between Russian, Ukrainian, and US representatives could begin in October, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said Trilateral talks between Russian, Ukrainian, and US representatives could begin in October, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

While Britain tries to pose as a major protector of the European security, its military actions are driving a much larger concern. Till this date, Britain has invested more than 9.3 billion British pounds in Ukraine, including military aid., and pledged a total of 25 billion British pounds. The main question is that whether Britain is actually a peace broker, or does London's apparent role push Europe farther from settling its differences with Moscow and into a protracted war with Russia?

Among the things a police career taught me is that a small number — usually single digits — of felons commit most felonies. They'll draw in other criminals, involve them in their crimes, and when convenient, abandon them to arrest. There is no honor among thieves. And the number of the most prolific felons increases and decreases slightly from place to place, and in relation to the specific type of crime. In some places, crooks specialize in home or business burglaries. In others, specialization might involve burglarizing vehicles or carjacking. But one thing is certain: take these small bands of crooks out of circulation, and the number of their crimes in those areas immediately, dramatically plummets. The trick is identifying the crooks and rolling them over on each other. Catch some in the act or with the evidence, and the second part is usually easier than the first.

The drop leaves Netanyahu's governing bloc, which includes Likud together with its coalition partners, on 50 seats, 11 short of the 61 needed to form a government, against 58 for the opposition parties and 12 for the Arab lists.

He informed him that Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas military chief, was preparing a major offensive against Israel. The call lasted 45 minutes. The Prime Minister replied that Israel was already prepared and that the attack would come from the West Bank, not Gaza. According to the authors, MBZ's call came after Netanyahu broke off negotiations between Israel and Hamas. The call reflected a direct threat from Yahya Sinwar, who was furious about the breakdown of talks. Sinwar spoke of " Zinzal " (earthquake), a word Arabs use to refer to wars and revolutions.

Yemen's Houthis have asked the United States not to intervene in their escalating conflict with Saudi Arabia, US President Donald Trump has said, as Washington seeks to avoid opening another front in the Middle East. Houthi forces made major gains along Yemen's Red Sea coast this week, pushing back Saudi-backed government troops and seizing the strategic ports of Mocha and Dhubab, as well as Perim (Mayun) Island at the entrance to the narrow Bab al-Mandeb Strait. The advance has tightened the group's grip on one of the world's most important shipping chokepoints while threatening another crucial route for Saudi oil exports.

The ECHR dismissed the migrant's complaint on Tuesday, holding that Council of Europe states are not required to treat polygamous family arrangements as they would a monogamous household. The man, 56, has three wives and 13 children from those unions. After arriving in the Netherlands in 2018 and receiving asylum, he was allowed to bring one wife and their eight children.

As the National Hurricane Center said on social media: We officially passed the satellite-era (1966-present) record for the latest formation of the first hurricane during an Atlantic hurricane season, held by Hurricanes Gustav (2002) and Humberto (2013). It's important to remember that about half of a normal season's activity happens after today. In fact, there has never been a season during the satellite era without the formation of at least 2 hurricanes. Late-starting years can still produce hurricane impacts, so stay prepared! Continue to visit Hurricanes.gov for the latest forecast. The forecast for the next seven days will continue the quiet streak we've seen so far. While we haven't had any hurricanes in the Atlantic yet, we have had five named tropical storms: Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly and Edouard. https://www.sott.net/article/508364-2026-Atlantic-hurricane-season-sets-a-record-No-hurricanes-yet Sun, 13 Sep 2026 19:58:36 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508363-New-laser-experiment-reveals-scientists-got-diamonds-melting-point-wrong-by-more-than-1000-degrees Scientists blasted diamonds with lasers to get the best measurement of the mineral's melting point yet. The new, more accurate numbers could help improve fusion experiments and studies of giant planets. Scientists melted diamonds with a powerful laser to take some of the most precise measurements of the mineral's elusive melting point — and found that previous experiments were off by more than 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit (700 degrees Celsius). It's odd to think of diamond, the hardest natural material on Earth, melting — but melt it does when blasted with extremely powerful lasers under the right conditions. Understanding how diamond responds to shock waves from lasers is an important part of developing nuclear fusion, the process that powers stars. Nuclear fusion is also a potential energy source for the future, so researchers have put a lot of effort into developing models that describe and predict how diamond behaves. https://www.sott.net/article/508363-New-laser-experiment-reveals-scientists-got-diamonds-melting-point-wrong-by-more-than-1000-degrees Sun, 13 Sep 2026 19:38:52 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508362-Massive-waterspout-in-the-Black-Sea-off-Georgia-coast-on-September-7 Watch a massive waterspout sweep across the Black Sea near Georgia's coast in footage captured from shore. https://www.sott.net/article/508362-Massive-waterspout-in-the-Black-Sea-off-Georgia-coast-on-September-7 Sun, 13 Sep 2026 13:45:47 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508361-Heavy-rains-severe-floods-and-large-hailstones-hit-55-municipalities-in-Santa-Catarina-Brazil-12-declare-state-of-emergency Heavy rains that hit Santa Catarina caused incidents in 55 municipalities across 16 Civil Defense regions .

Note that the sanctions are not against the Israeli state, but rather a much narrower definition: Israeli entities in the Occupied Territories. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham claimed that the move was an example of Britain giving international leadership to stand against oppression and injustice. Addressing the British Parliament, Burnham said: "In this difficult and dangerous world, Britain has to stand for something, Britain has to show leadership, Britain has to stand for fairness against injustice...

A ball of fire was seen streaking across the sky shortly after 8 p.m. and was seen across a wide swath of southern Manitoba and the Interlake, including Dauphin, Hecla and Swan River. "I thought it was going to crash right into the lake," said Terry Martin, who witnessed it near Hecla Island. "It was right at my eye-level, right across. I might have lifted my head a little bit up at the sky, but not much, and it was fiery. It was a huge fireball." Martin said she didn't hear it make any sound, but it did cause a flock of Canada geese to scatter. Scott Young, the astronomer at the Manitoba Museum, said the object was bolide, a bright fireball meteor.
