My own Roswell Theory - C. T. Fluhr
I claim the somewhat dubious credit for this theory. Get your tin foil hat ready.
It's a variation on the classic Roswell UFO conspiracy
theory, but without aliens or UFOs.
The Roswell UFO Incident claims an object crashed in the
general vicinity of Roswell, New Mexico, in June or July 1947. Furthermore it claims a body was recovered
and stored at a local morgue.
My theory is based on the following foundations:
1. Roswell was an air force training and experimental air
base.
2. This was at the
beginning of the Cold War and the race for high altitude aircraft.
3. In 1994 the Air
Force announced it had been using "crash test" dummies as part of
"Project Mogul" to study the effects of high-altitudes on
pilots. The published report concluded
that Mogul Flight #4, launched from Alamogordo, New Mexico, on June 4, 1947,
was what crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, and formed the source of the debris
which sparked the Roswell UFO Incident.
Now consider these points:
- Camp Roswell POW Camp was located14 miles SE of Roswell, New Mexico and housed POWs from 1942-1947. In addition to the airfield, the Roswell POW camp was built for up to 4800 Prisoners of War. The POWs were actually used as construction laborers on local projects and many of Roswell's parks were built by POWs. The Spring River, which passes through downtown Roswell, was lined with concrete and stones using POW labor. Most of the POWs were German and Italian soldiers captured during the North African campaign but there were also Japanese POWs. The actual number of Japanese POW's is unrecorded due to the large number who refused to identify themselves until repatriated to Japan in 1947.
- The US government was at this time testing the effects of radiation on its own troops in numerous bomb tests. Testing on US soldiers also included incidents such as the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiment.
Conclusion:
- There was no UFO or alien crash at Roswell.
- The US government did not use "crash test dummies" for the high altitude tests. They used undocumented Japanese POWs.
Consider the general descriptions of the "alien"
bodies: Small stature, hairless, bluish or pale skin, oval eyes. How would a Japanese POW appear after dying
of high-altitude exposure, especially if the subject's body had been shaved in
anticipation of the post mortem examination?
This is the kind of secret people keep. If revealed, all concerned would face War
Crimes trials similar to the 23 Nazi doctors and scientists were put on trial
for the unethical treatment of concentration camp inmates, often used as
research subjects with fatal consequences.
Such damage would also harm current US world standing particularly with
Japan and other Pacific Rim nations.

DUI driver with sex toy in tush rear-ends other driver
A driver with a "sexual anus plug in his rectum" was jailed after investigators say he rear-ended another driver and had more than five times the legal limit of alcohol in his blood, according to a recently released arrest affidavit. What could be called the case of the soused driver with the sex toy in his hindquarters happened about 11:20 a.m. Feb. 24 as Martin County Sheriff's investigators went to a two-vehicle crash at U.S. 1 and Seabranch Boulevard in Hobe Sound.
A deputy determined Kevin Brann, 41, had rear-ended another vehicle. Officials also determined Brann smelled strongly of alcohol. Brann's speech was slurred and mumbled, his eyes bloodshot and glassy. A deputy gave Brann, who'd urinated in his pants, field sobriety exercises before arresting him on a DUI with property damage charge. Brann "soiled himself" en route to the slammer.
"The defendant had a sexual anus plug in his rectum, which he removed, or it fell out in the rear of my patrol car," an affidavit states.

The Red-Dress Effect -
The pull of red is nothing new. Women have donned pinkish blush and bright lipstick for nearly 12,000 years. And, if you're lucky enough to get a Valentine's Day card, it will probably come decorated in tiny red hearts. It's an effect that likely stems from biology, says Adam Pazda, a psychologist at the University of Rochester in New York state and an author of the new study. When many primate females—from chimpanzees to types of baboons called mandrills—become fertile, their estrogen levels peak, opening up their blood vessels and turning their faces bright red. This flushed complexion seems to give males the signal that it's time to make their move.
The same could be true for humans, Pazda says. In a previous study, scientists showed that men seem to be more attracted to women clothed in red rather than in a blah color such as white. That's regardless of the cut, he adds.

Secret compartments could get drivers busted
Secret compartments could get drivers busted
A hidden compartment in your vehicle, with or without drugs, could mean big trouble as Ohio officials get serious about slowing down drug-smuggling.
A hidden compartment in your vehicle, with or without drugs, could mean big trouble as Ohio officials get serious about slowing down drug-smuggling.
A proposed state law, advocated by Gov. John Kasich, would make it a fourth-degree felony to own a vehicle equipped with secret compartments. A conviction would mean up to 18 months in jail and a potential $5,000 fine.
The hidden-compartment law, coupled with nearly 150 new highway signs warning traffickers that they face prison time in Ohio, are part of a stepped-up drug interdiction campaign announced yesterday by Kasich.

Married female judge & with female defense attorney caught naked
Married female judge & with female defense attorney caught naked in backseat of car.
"The officer said as he approached the vehicle, he “observed a female’s head raise up from the back seat and look out the back window.” He then saw “two female subjects placing their clothing items on and then exit the back seat and move to the front seats."
I guess that sort of gives new meaning to "full disclosure" or presenting one's briefs to the court?

Police forget to shut off lapel-mike when beating suspect
Cops: if you're gonna shut off your dash cam to beat a suspect, you might want to shut off your lapel mike.
Two friends who had planned to visit a Seattle sports bar claim they ended up being kicked, arrested at gunpoint and held in jail for several hours by a cop who said he intended to "make stuff up."
Part of the arrest of Josh Lawson, 23, and Christopher Franklin, 22, on Nov. 16, 2010 is caught on tape by the officer's dashboard camera.
But key moments of the arrest that should have been captured on video are missing and it was unclear whether the officer intentionally neglected to turn on the dash cam. None of the released footage shows the officer in the moments he made the stop or kicked Lawson.
The accusations against Richardson are among many that have put a spotlight on the Seattle Police Department and it comes after the release of a Department of Justice report in December that said "serious concerns about practices that could have a disparate impact on minority communities" were raised by its review.
The recording of the arrest was released after ABC News affiliate KOMO began an investigation into missing police dashboard camera videos.

UPDATES: YouTube dad says authorities pay visit;
The former Marine wrote on his Facebook page that Child Protective Services officials came to his home in Stanly Co. on Saturday and interviewed him and his daughter — separately — after viewers of the video called with concerns about his actions.
He said the police also stopped by.
“The police by the way said ‘Kudos, sir,’ ” Jordan wrote. "I actually had a "thank you" from an entire detectives squad. And another police officer is using it in a positive manner in his presentation for the school system. How’s about those apples? Didn’t expect THAT when you called the cops did you?”
Police officials in Albemarle told Channel 9 they have received dozens of calls and emails asking why they haven't done anything about the video. Officials said Jordan lives outside of city limits, so his actions are outside of their jurisdiction.

Antarctic scientists go missing while exploring Lake Vostok
Remember that gigantic Antarctic mountain range buried under the ice that scientists discovered? You know the one ..... size of the Himalayas? Lake Vostok region, millions of years old, a mountain range where no mountain range should exist at the South Pole miles under the ice?
Yeah, that one. Well, it seems a group of Russian scientists have vanished while exploring it.
Hasn't anyone ever heard of Lovecraft's "At The Mountains of Madness" or John Carpenter's "The Thing"????

"A group of Russian scientists plumbing the
frozen Antarctic in search of a lake buried in ice for tens of millions
of years have failed to respond to increasingly anxious U.S. colleagues
-- and as the days creep by, the fate of the team remains unknown."
"No word from the ice for 5 days," Dr. John Priscu professor of Ecology at Montana State University. The team from Russia's Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute
(AARI) have been drilling for weeks in an effort to reach isolated Lake
Vostok, a vast, dark body of water hidden 13,000 ft. below the ice
sheet's surface. The lake hasn't been exposed to air in more than 20
million years."

Telepathy machine reconstructs speech from brainwaves - health - 31 January 2012 - New Scientist
Telepathy machine reconstructs speech from brainwaves - health - 31 January 2012 - New Scientist
When you read this sentence to yourself, it's likely that you hear the words in your head. Now, in what amounts to technological telepathy, others are on the verge of being able to hear your inner dialogue too. By peering inside the brain, it is possible to reconstruct speech from the activity that takes place when we hear someone talking. Because this brain activity is thought to be similar whether we hear a sentence or think the same sentence, the discovery brings us a step closer to broadcasting our inner thoughts to the world without speaking. The implications are enormous – people made mute through paralysis or locked-in syndrome could regain their voice. It might even be possible to read someone's mind.
USAF’s Big Penetrator Needs to Be Harder
Yup, the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) needs to be harder,
according to anonymous Pentagon sources cited in a Wall Street Journal
article. A series of recent tests found that the Air Force’s
30,000-pound tool for penetrating 32 stories of reinforced concrete
might not have enough penetrating power to take out Iran’s most heavily
protected nuclear facilities, reports the WSJ. This has prompted the
Pentagon to secretly ask lawmakers for $82 million to improve the bomb’s
penetrating power. The MOP is getting Viagra.
