Yesterday’s event in Russia was a powerful, impressive and rare. Scientists are currently claiming that the explosion, apparently caused by a meteor, over Russian yesterday had the force of 30 Hiroshima bombs.

According Nick Pope they just might. And, when it comes to UFOs, Nick Pope knows what he’s talking about. From 1991-1994, he worked for ” Sec (AS) 2a” a part of the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense. While at “Sec (AS) 2a” his duties included the investigation of UFO sightings, and the analysis of their potential impact on national defense. Since leaving the Ministry, he has written and lectured widely on UFOs, and engaged in a number of private investigation. And, now, in a recent interview he’s suggesting that UFOs may make a spectacular appearance at this summer’s Olympic games.
If you believe in vampires today, you’re labelled as crazy, a freak, or one of the more aggressive fans to the Twilight Saga. But this wasn’t true 500 years ago. Such belief was positively mundane. Especially in Europe. And a recent archeological dig in Bulgaria offers further evidence of this fact.
This bizarre footage comes from the SOHO (Solar & Heliospheric Observatory) spacecraft. A craft launched in 1995 whose mission was to study the deep core of the sun and solar emissions. It was a join project between the ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA.
We are not as convinced as this YouTuber that the bizarre footage is a solid object. But the images are curious and worthy of further study.
