This photo was taken a few days before the one where the 11 year old boy snapped a picture of a possible ufo. This one from Houston,Texas appears to look a lot like the one the young boy took.

I got a chance to get the story direct from Felipe Mendoza about the photo and here is what he told me about the photo.

"The picture was taken May 19, 2012. My cousins and I were heading back from a hiking trip that we have done earlier in the day.

We were coming down I 45 and I was looking at the skyline of Houston. So I just took a picture and didn't notice the image till later. So I send it to Lupe (Mendoza) to see what he thought about it but didn't tell him what was in the picture. He saw in the image the same thing that I saw. He zoomed in on it and better than I can on my iPhone. It kind a looks like a reflection but the strange thing is there is a disturbance in the clouds. So thought it would be interesting to see what other people think."

 

A photograph shown to reporters on Tuesday portrayed Poppo walking down a hospital hallway, supported by hospital staff on either side of him.
The man had his left eye removed but doctors are hoping to restore vision in his right eye, which was also severely damaged in the attack.

'He's pleased to report to all of you that he's feeling well, he's eating, he's walking around with physical therapy, he's talking with us,' said Nicholas Namias, a University of Miami trauma surgeon.
A photo released by the hospital shows the upper two-thirds of Poppo's face covered in scabs.
He's missing his nose and both eye sockets were covered, one with gauze and one with what appeared to be a skin graft.
His grey beard was trimmed, leaving a mustache over his upper lip.
Doctors at the hospital said the homeless man also has holes in his chest that may be from bullets fired by the police officer who killed his attacker.

Doctors added that the victim lost his left eye but are trying to save his right eye, which was severely damaged.
Poppo also suffered a brain injury during the attack, like that suffered by a car crash victim, the Herald reported.
Despite these problems, the medical team said Poppo, who has been in the hospital since the attack on May 26, is doing much better.
He has talked about swimming, which he used to enjoy, and he has asked for pizza, orange juice and Italian food.
He's asked for the television to be switched off in his room, except when the Miami Heat basketball games are on, Namias said.
The doctor said Poppo has not once complained about his pain.
'He's really just sort of living in the moment and just wants to talk about routine things,' he said.

Mr Poppo will have to undergo a number of skin grafts to rebuild his face.
Social workers will try to help him find a place to live as he has been homeless for nearly 30 years.
A fund set up by the Jackson Memorial Foundation to assist Poppo has raised $15,000. Poppo also qualifies for Medicaid and Medicare.

'If he doesn't get his vision back then it becomes, is he concerned about how he looks or is it more about how the world sees him? Those are things to think about,' plastic surgeon Wrood Kassira said.
'I've talked to him about reconstruction and he's said we'll take it one day at a time. He's very logical.'
Poppo has been at Jackson Memorial Hospital since he was attacked on May 26 by Rudy Eugene.

On Sunday, May 27, Jack Brody was playing in the garden of his family home in Loughton, when he noticed a tiny silver object glittering in the clear blue sky far above. Jack ran inside, grabbed a camera and took a photograph of the object.
Jack’s father Simon, 39, said: “I got back from a walk and Jack ran up to me and said ‘you will not believe what I got a picture of.
“He pointed at this thing that was so small that you could barely see it. It was up there glimmering in the sun.
“When we zoomed in and looked at the picture closer I said to my friend, who was visiting, ‘you have to come and see this.’ “ “We just could not work out what it was. It is a kind of silver circular thing. It is very odd.
“We have heard some people say that it must be a weather balloon, but the way it moved I just don’t think it could have been.
“When a plane came close to it it was there one minute and the next minute it was not, you could not hear it fly off, you just could not see it again.
“It is funny, committed UFO spotters who spend years trying to get pictures would not be able to get one that is that good.”
Simon also said " I can assure you this is a real picture, we are not only incapable of faking a picture , we would have no need to. We are not claiming aliens we are just showing a picture."

If anyone has an idea what this is please let us know.

Thanks

Two new moons have been discovered orbiting Jupiter, bringing the planet's total number of known satellites to 67.
And, at just two kilometres in diameter, one of the moons may be Jupiter's smallest known satellite.
The two distant moons - S/2010 J 1 and S/2010 J 2 - were discovered during routine tracking observations of already known satellites in September 2010.
They were then re-observed by scientists several times that autumn.
With Jupiter now having 67 known satellites, the discovery of two tiny moons does not have a large bearing on our understanding of the system.

Their size has been estimated based on their brightness.

S/2010 J 1 is 3km in diametre, while S/2010 J 1 is estimated to be just 2km in diameter.
It is believed that nearly all moons the size of S/2010 J 1 or larger are known.

This video is from joebblack1963, he is a East TN researcher and shares his finds on his youtube channel.

The video is a little long but keep watching it has an interesting photo or two.

With all the talk of zombie attacks, zombie Apocalypse, and LQP-79 the CDD has released several warnings. The only problem seems to be the CDD  is not a real organization. I think this is more of a spoof type of site, but it is very well done. Or could it be real?

   

The main focus of the site seems to be the zombie virus LQP-79. They have some very nice videos about it.

Here is their latest public service announcement video

This is a video from 2010. It was filmed in GA. The Kid is pretty excited and from his reaction, they seem to have seen this bigfoot before and were glad to film it.

I have attempted to enhance the footage.

Here is the video

 

Cast from TUNRG's recent outing. Photo property of TUNR, no reuse without permission

 

TCC-  I have been looking at the video and there does appear to be something dark moving away kind of quickly. I hope to have it completed soon and will send the finding over to TUNR.

Kevin Vaughn from Scioto County Paranormal was recently out taking some pictures at Garvin Cemetery and upon review he noticed something odd in one of the photos.

 

Here is the original photo

 

If you will notice there appears to be something in the sky. It's on the upper right of the photo.

Kevin contacted TCC about maybe trying to see what was in the photo. SCP is a good group of people and we have worked with them before...so we gave it a try and below is the zoomed and enhanced photo of the object.

 

We still can't say for sure what this object is but it only showed up in one photo, so we do not think it was something on the lens.

 

Here is what Kevin told us about the photo:

 

"Taken at garvin cemetery 5 /29/12, notice the black dot to right side of the upper top. this is the only pic that caught anything, it was not seen at the time the pic was taken, only in review did i see this. and there was no sound."

 

So we have a mystery object that appears to be in the sky.

Thanks to Kevin and SCP for sharing this with us.

 

Thanks

I was doing some research on the Dr. Melba ketchum DNA paper and ran across some information that stated the Ketchum's company,DNA Diagnostics, was currently in litigation. This as far as I know has nothing to do with reported bigfoot dna samples but with the company's failures.

So this got me to checking with the Better Business Bureau and I found some things that people might find interesting.

It seems there are numerous complaints filed with the BBB against Ketchum's company.

19 complaints filed

There has been 19 complaints filed with the BBB against DNA Diagnostics over the last 3 years.
Most of the complaints seem to be for either very slow or no service at all. I read some of the complaints and many did not get any results back from the lab at all. Others were trying to gets refunds. Many complaints also stated that there was a  "Failure to respond to phone calls or written requests for assistance or support" from DNA Diagnostics.

Here is a little part of one complaint, the customer wrote:
"On Feb 24th my wife called and was told "there was a problem with the sample and it would have to be re-tested". On the 4th of March my wife called again and was also told that "sometimes it depends on how the hair reacts to the chemicals, or, IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU HOLD YOUR MOUTH WHEN RUNNING THE TEST". Then it was "the technician wasn't working out so we hired a new one that seems to be working out pretty good, so we are going to run it again tomorrow. But we may have to have another sample." We were told that this testing is done on fridays. So they had 5 fridays to complete the tests or inform me that a new sample needed to be submitted...."

The customer went on to say:
"I sent you a hair sample for HYPP testing that you received and SIGNED for on the 31st of January 2011. I have made repeated attempts to contact you about the progress and have been told "we didn't receive it when you think we did, the test will be done this week and results mailed to you, the email address you sent the email to doesn't come to me (then why have the email address?), there was a problem with the test and it has to be rerun on Friday (March 4th, 2011) and I take the results and put them in the mail that day or the next. It took you 2 days to deposit my check but has taken over 30 days to get my test results."

 There seems to be a history of slow service, could this be the reason for the long delay of the DNA paper being published? Maybe

The BBB summed the complaints as follows:
"DNA Diagnostics has developed a pattern of complaints and has failed to correct the underlying reasons for complaints. Consumers claim have paid for services that have not been delivered or have not been delivered within a reasonable time. Further, they have not received a refund when services were not provided."

With these complaints the BBB give Dr. Ketchum's company a grade of F.

Company grade of F

So given the complaints and the current rumor that Ketchum is in litigation now. I can see why the DNA paper might be delayed. I can also understand why many think the paper will never be published. If you have a possible bigfoot  DNA sample sent into Dr. Ketchum this could cause some concern about it. Will a company with a grade of F be taken seriously? Does the BBB really carry any weight? or is it meaningless?

I had very high hopes about  the DNA paper from Ketchum but after all these long delays and the history of these short comings it sure makes me wonder if everything is what it is said to be.

If you would like to check the BBB reports yourself then click HERE.
Maybe all this means nothing and the paper will come out someday...lets hope.

Beginning on Tuesday at 11.04pm BST, skywatchers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and the northern part of South America will see the beginning of the show before the sun sets.

Assuming the Great British Summer decides to give us a clear morning, you will be able to view the transit from home - but make sure you do it safely, with this advice from NASA:
Inexpensive eclipse shades have special safety filters that appear similar to sunglasses, but these filters permits safe viewing. However, with less than 48 hours to go, these may be tough to track down in time.
If you have binoculars or telescopes, special solar filters are available. However, never ever use a telescope without a filter or look directly at the sun - or you will irreparably damage your eyesight. And NASA warns not to buy solar filters that attach to the eye-piece, as these are not always safe.
But if there is a telescope to hand, find a screen and project the sun onto it. This will provide a magnified view of the sun, and the clearest way of seeing the transit yourself - but find a safe surface to project onto, as this can be a fire risk.
Pinhole projectors have the advantage of being easy and inexpensive, although their view is unmagnified. For advice on how to make one, check out the page at Stanford.
More advice is available at NASA's Transit page.

This is a video I made about the people who contracted the flesh-eating virus, I think all of them ended up living. 
The flesh-eating disease, a bacterial infection called necrotizing fasciitis, is an infection that kills the body's soft tissue. It is a serious disease that begins and spreads quickly. Symptoms include red or purple or black skin, swelling, severe pain, fever, and vomiting.

Here is the video
