| Tom Petty, rest his soul, was a very good guy in this movie |
Initially annoyed because she thought a mosquito was ruining her picture, Osborn was disabused of that notion when she took a closer look at the aerial interloper and realized it seemed to be some kind of craft that sported 'tentacles' hanging from it. Fortunately, she managed to capture footage (seen below) of the UFO, which was only visible in the sky for about three minutes. "It disappeared almost as quickly as it came," she later recalled. https://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/watch-weird-jellyfish-ufo-filmed-near-military-base
VETERAN'S DAY STORM EVEN STRONGER THAN WE THOUGHT:One year ago, the biggest solar radiation storm in 20 years hit Earth. Literally hit. Particles from an X5-class solar flare on Nov. 11, 2025, penetrated the atmosphere and struck the ground.

A new paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Space Weather reveals a surprise. "The storm was even stronger than we thought," says co-author Clive Dyer of the University of Surrey.
Luckily, the Surrey team was in a meeting with the UK Met Office when the storm began. Within an hour, a weather balloon carrying a radiation detector lifted off from Lerwick in the Shetland Islands. More balloons followed from Cornwall and the Netherlands, and detectors rode aboard two transatlantic airliners.
Over Shetland, the balloons measured startling dose rates where planes fly. At 48,000 ft (business jets), radiation doubled--enough to cross the International Civil Aviation Organization's "moderate" threshold. At 60,000 ft (supersonic jets), it was nearly 5 times normal and twice the "severe" threshold. Higher up, it kept climbing.
"[We measured] 300 µSv/hr--which may be the most intense natural atmospheric radiation field observed," the authors wrote. That's about 40 times the dose rate airline passengers normally receive.
Yet no aviation radiation warnings were issued. Forecasters rely on computer models, and the only model with published results said "moderate" levels were exceeded for no more than 10 minutes--a clear failure.
Colloquially, this has been called "the Veterans Day storm," but it has a technical name: GLE 77--the 77th ground level enhancement (GLE) since counting began in 1942. GLE 78 (whenever it happens) could be just as big. The authors call for a global network of rapid-response balloons to monitor future storms for air travelers.

ASUNCIÓN IN FLAMES: The Ueno Bank Freeze Proves Digital Fiat Is a Trap
The headline reads like financial fiction, but the reality unfolding in Asunción is cold, calculated arithmetic. The Paraguayan Central Bank just placed Ueno Bank into resolution, locking the digital gates on three million accounts. That represents roughly 60% of the nation’s adult population, overnight, stripped of their purchasing power by a regulatory keystroke.
No balance inquiries. No debit cards. No ATMs dispensing relief. Even $380 million from the state pension fund sits trapped inside the digital vault
 |
The political theatre is right on schedule. President Santiago Peña—who conveniently held shares in Ueno’s parent group until recently—is scrambling to contain the damage. The central bank chief resigned. Executives are in police custody. Meanwhile, millions who trusted a clean mobile interface to safeguard their life savings are learning the oldest law in finance: if you don’t hold it, you don’t own it.
Commercial banks do not store your cash in a personal vault. You hold an unsecured liability—a digital IOU issued by an institution operating on fractional reserves and political backroom agreements. When solvency ratios crumble below minimum thresholds, the regime closes ranks to protect itself first.
This isn’t an isolated technical glitch; it’s the fundamental architecture of modern fiat banking.

By turning the hype machinery to 11, our Billionaire Tech Bros have become parodies of themselves. Each AI Tech Bro is now a thinly cloaked parody of a James Bond villain, a fervent believer in their own private religion of PR and delusions that transmogrify the AI Ponzi Scheme credit bubble into the Savior or the Devil, either one works equally well. -
