just once I like it to be aliens and not some rational scientific explanation! but if they were aliens, and they knew they were close to us, I bet they would try and steal our women and our precious metals, and our Fedora‘s!

“Alien Structures or Shock Waves? Strange Filaments Discovered in the Milky Way Baffle Astronomers - Astronomers using ALMA have discovered a new type of long, narrow “slim filaments” in the Milky Way’s central molecular zone, revealing surprising details about shock-induced material circulation near the galaxy’s core. These filaments, traced by silicon monoxide emissions and lacking dust association, suggest a cyclical process of gas replenishment and depletion driven by energetic shocks. (Artist’s concept.)

“That belongs in a museum!” Post of The Week!

•••3,000-year-old Hallstatt dagger unearthed on Polish Baltic coast after storm - It was found by President of St. Cordula Association for the Rescue of Monuments Jacek Ukowski, when he together with his colleague Katarzyna Herdzik, was conducting an exploration. While using a metal detector along the shoreline in Kamień Pomorski, Ukowski noticed signals near a fallen clay mass and uncovered the dagger within it. In an interview with the Polish Press Agency (PAP), he described it as his most valuable discovery to date. He said: “The cliff had collapsed, and the lump must have fallen from above. I went to the site with a metal detector because I started getting signals.”•••

What a way to spend a Wednesday night - pizza, sangria, freshly cleaned fedora, and an archaeological discovery!

“Archaeologists Found a 2,000-Year-Old Tomb That Adds a New Twist to Roman History - Located just outside of modern-day Naples, archaeologists have started excavating the 1,600-square-foot necropolis.

Imagine a funnier version of "The Hurt Locker" during World War 2. This explains so much about Mel Brooks.

"How Comic Legend Mel Brooks Defused Land Mines During World War II!"

"Instead of receiving and sending coded messages, Kaminsky's new assignment was far more dangerous. His main responsibility would be to defuse land mines, but true to his nature, he joked about what could possibly go wrong.military service had trained him as an electrical engineer -- saw the word "engineer" and immediately reassigned him."

Every time somebody says that something is impossible somebody else proves that not only is something possible, but it’s also very probable. There is some weird science that is beyond our comprehension going on in the new universe that feels right out of the realm of Science Fiction.

Popular Mechanics: “Scientists Spotted Evidence of an Unseen Universe—Even Though That Should Be Impossible: The James Webb Space Telescope’s JADES survey recently observed a galaxy that shouldn’t be visible, because it existed only 300 million years after the Big Bang.”

At that point in cosmic history, the universe was shrouded by neutral hydrogen, and most objects and phenomena would not be visible until nearly a billion years later. For now, researchers think the light might be coming from the first stars to exist, or outflows from a supermassive black hole at the galactic core. But the source remains unknown.

How would you prepare to explore a world 2.6 times the size of Earth? Can we presume the gravity is much more intense than here? Would fedoras wear differently?

“This is K2-18b, a potentially habitable planet covered in oceans and about 2.6 times the size of Earth. JWST has detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere, and it is within the habitable zone.”

Imagine finding ANOTHER Stonehenge that was missing for almost 4,000 years.

“FARLEY WOOD, ENGLAND—According to a statement released by Forestry England, a Bronze Are stone circle has been discovered in the Derbyshire forest near the town of Matlock. An archaeological team sought to investigate a single ancient standing stone known as the Farley Moor stone. It was previously thought that the seven-foot-tall monolith was a solitary marker, but recent excavations revealed that it actually stood upon a ceremonial platform and was part of a larger ritual complex dating to around 1,700 B.C.”

The Fedora Chronicles Paranormal Post: Its amazing how far we’ve come from The Project Blue Book era: The Government is more interested in finding out what is really going on and not discounting what witnesses really saw.

If you witnessed anything… would you share with the DOD?

The Truth is still out there.

Stolen from “The Guardian.” - “NASA rover discovers largest organic compounds yet found on Mars
Presence of long-chain alkanes in rock raises new questions about possible existence of life billions of years ago.”

Imagine that, Large Martian Organic Organisms… grab your fedoras, protein pills and ray guns! Let’s go see!

“Quasar Gamma Rays, very dangerous… YOU go first.”

For a problem like this , we all need to be a little more Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, and Captain Kirk. And a new set of heroes the galaxy has never seen before!

“Cosmic anomaly hints at frightening future for Milky Way - A terrifying glimpse at one potential fate of our Milky Way galaxy has come to light thanks to the discovery of a cosmic anomaly that challenges our understanding of the universe.”

It has a very "John Carpenter" vibe to it. Are you sure it's "really" him and not something you found underneath the ice? We should mount a rescue, but how do we prepare for what we find?

First Bootleg bottles found in the walls, now prohibition bottles on the beach. And when is going to be my turn?

“A man walking his dog on a New Jersey beach discovered 11 bottles of whiskey that appear to have been buried there during Prohibition.”

*The man, who has been identified as Austin Contegiacomo, 28, first posted his findings on Reddit in an effort to determine how old they were and what their value may be. The bottles were embossed with the words “Lincoln Inn” and a depiction of a man on a horse.*

“Lincoln Inn was produced by a company that later became the Canadian whisky brand Seagram’s, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.”
