when the hell did that happen?



those where balloons.

^Did I really need to use Green Font?

You could've, but my answer would have been the same. That looks like 3 bundeled up balloons, no need to look for something that's not there. Noone in their right mind would build flying machine in the shape of a sphere, it would never work.

C'mon bro, use common sense and logic: If I was being sarcastic how could your answer be the same in response to my post, when your Sarcasm detector was off?

Anyway, another sign that it likely wasn't a UFO: Fighter Jets would've been scrambling to intercept if it was a legit issue within an allotted time, and those "things" were there for a bit.

How do you explain the pictures of UFO's in china?

The only thing you can see on those pictures is light in the sky, and nothing else. Drawing conclusions of that is premature. Secondly....it was in China. I trust them as much as I trust people from Alabama with these UFO sightings.

Correct me again if I'm wrong, but this sentence:

Ofcourse, it's a "weather balloon" says the experts.

was clearly sarcasm.

But seriously those pictures are definately UFO's.

Yep, hence my Green Font follow-up post to yours.

Well a UFO is an unidentidied flying object. It could be a suicide bomber bird blowing itself up for all we know. As long as people only see lights, it can be anything. It was probably an experiment. The militaries throughout the world have far more advanced technologies than we know.

So where is the confusion? You were sarcastic, I got it, didn't agree with it, so I made a post expressing my disagreement.

[magnumt]

^So you're saying that you think it's a UFO then.

[Marty McFly]

What do you guys think of this? I've only gone through about half of 1984 ( It's kind of bland to me to be quiet honest) But I'm interested in Aldous Huxley's "BRAVE NEW WORLD". Is this accurate?

[magnumt]

^Well there was the sentiment recently that the masses are too used to getting things "yesterday", with things that give you what used to take 1/2 Hour in 10 minutes.

Me, I think everything is good in moderation...it's the overuse that can take the mundane and make it dangerous.

IE: In your example, it's TV (IE: pleasures) that's used as the driving "distraction" medium here.

Exactly my point.

And it doesnt make sense to use "secret technology" at a public airport think about it.

A couple of Days old, but great news nonetheless:

Google Invests in Mammoth Offshore Wind Farm
October 12, 2010 Jolie O'Dell

Google has just sealed a deal that will help bring clean, renewable energy to almost 2 million households.

The company is investing in the Atlantic Wind Connection (AWC), a plan to erect a 350-mile stretch of wind turbines 10 to 15 miles off the United States’ Atlantic coastline, where waters are relatively shallow. The AWC “backbone” will take advantage of strong, steady winds at sea and deliver energy via underwater cables.

If successful, the AWC will be the first operating offshore wind collection project in the U.S.

Calling the AWC “a superhighway for clean energy,” Google’s Green Business Operations Director Rick Needham wrote on the company blog, “As those in the Northeast remember from the 2003 blackout, transmission is severely overstretched on the East Coast. The AWC project relieves grid congestion in one of two National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors which were deemed to have significant network congestion and need speedy creation of transmission capacity.”

The AWC is estimated by outside sources to be a $5 billion project, and Google has invested 37.5% of the equity for the AWC’s initial development stage, “with the goal of obtaining all the necessary approvals to finance and begin constructing the line,” Needham wrote. New York-based cleantech investment firm Good Energies also invested 37.5% of the equity.

Google has invested heavily in wind energy in the recent past. Earlier this year, the company bought 20 years’ worth of wind energy a couple months later under the newly created auspices of Google Energy.

Google’s commitment to clean energy is impressive, and we also note that its investment strategies make good business sense, as well.

What do you think of this investment and the idea of offshore wind farms?

China is projected to be the World leader in Wind Energy use by 2020, and it looks like Google is looking to change that.

i tried dude. i tried twice.

It is a gloomy, dark book that takes you places.

I found Huxley hard to read, but did enjoy BNW. Lately it's been en vogue to say BNW > 1984 but that's because the ways for Big Brother to track us has become common place, so part of our everyday lives that we don't even think about it: everything from cell phones, email addresses, gps in our cars, using mapquest (which basically tells some Minister of Information) where we are going, etc...

Nineteen-Eighty-Four (1984) crushed us in order to make us think it's a Brave New World!
