@MyMatesBrainwashed He took his gun — unnecessary for a hike. There are wolves and mountain lions in the area, a fact of which the retired agent seems to be unaware. In much of the US a gun might be considered a strange thing to carry on a...

It seems to me that two separate questions are getting mixed together here: the exact initiating mechanism, and how rapidly load-bearing capacity can degrade once instability develops. The "can" analogy is still useful in that limited sense. The...

ALERT: If someone associated with the production is reading this, please recommend Mick West for a cameo! Although I reckon Mick has enough gravitas to carry the whole film...

Absolutely. I have seen a 'sun pillar', which is a similar effect that extends above the Sun; but a 'sun candle' or 'subsun' occurs below the sun, and is generally observed when looking down a slope in cold weather so that the 'candle' occurs at...

It's a good example of how a strong belief is impervious to facts. Why wouldn't they believe McCasland himself when he said he had nothing to say? If they made multiple attempts to get him to talk, my money is on him being annoyed, and sharing...

Just to up the cringe factor with UFOlgist jumping on this story, one Christina Gomez is a rather prolific UFO poster on Facebook and has posted comments by congressman Burlison about the missing General: Apparently when McCasland told...

Of all the motivations that might prompt a retired military officer to flee their home with a gun, "possessing secret UFO knowledge" would not be in my top 10, maybe not the top 100.

Totally agree. I still think CE3K holds up well, maybe my favorite Spielberg film, leaving the 3 Indiana Jones films in their own category. Yes, Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List are more important, but how many times can one watch Saving...

Yes, this occurred to me as well. However, I find it likely that if he had intended that, he'd have left a note—but apparently his wife did not find one.

I investigated this sighting of a 'white light' over Solerno, Italy - turned out to be the ISS. But the Sitrec showed a great example of the new features of 3d buildings and clouds.... so I thought I'd share. Great work @Mick West ! Source...
