A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945

Sunday's can be a good time for reflection:


Description with the video:
Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project's "Trinity" test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan's nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea's two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear).

Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing"the fear and folly of nuclear weapons." It starts really slow — if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so — but the buildup becomes overwhelming.

FOX News!!!UFO Flies Past On Live Broadcast Over D.C. Feb 23 2011

Remember that UFOs over Washington D.C. thing that was supposed to happen a week or two ago? (The Agency crappola.) Well, seems that this afternoon an orblike phenomena was seen in the background of a Fox News Report. The object in the video is only seen a few seconds and the poster makes some huge claims about these few seconds - nonetheless, it is interesting:

Amazing UFO over Cheltanham, UK - (night of the 30th January 2011)

Make sure you stick with this video until he does a close up at around the 40 seconds mark. WTH is this thing? Certainly seems to have `structure'. Even more amazing in the description posted with this video - which will follow the vid. (15K9Hviews)


Here is the description:
This video was filmed last night in Cheltenham UK - 30th January 2011

This is the un-stabilized version, here is teh stabilised one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYVjWB...

This UFO was there most of the night if not all of it, in the same spot, was completely silent and seemed to change colour from blue to yellow to red - you can see a bit of this as the camera zooms in. Any movement you do see is camera shake.

I did not film this - the guy who did gave this description of what he saw:

"Sunday night 30th Jan 2011 over Cheltenham UK. Crisp, clear, very cold night and we saw 3-4 lights which seemed brighter than the other stars. If you looked closer you could make out a few 'coloured' lights which seemed to be flashing and some of the them were moving slowly across the sky, inconsistently (starting/stopping). So we tried to video the brightest and eventually the zoom managed to focus and this is what came out...
I just wish I had a stronger zoom and a tripod! Strangely there was absolutely no sound at all, completely silent and this one was there all night long over my house. At about midnight we drove up to the masts which is the highest point in the area and with no city light distraction - we saw over 100 of these. All a variety of colours and some moving differently or just disappearing."
