Amazing Time Lapse of the Aurora Borealis Dec. 2010

Tor Even Mathisen created this stunning timelapse video of the aurora borealis over Tromsø, Norway, shooting the still frames with a Canon 5D Mark II and 16-35mm f/2.8L II lens. The individual frames captured are beautiful in themselves, but the result of combining them into a timelapse video is breathtaking.

THE WILLIAM RICKETTS SANCTUARY

The William Ricketts Sanctuary is in the Dandenong mountain range, on the outskirts of Melbourne.
If anyone has seen the Billy Connolly tour of Australia they will already be familiar with it. Each of the aborigne faces is different and said to represent someone he knew. William moved here with his mother in the early 1930's, leaving behind an abusive father. He is buried here under the Tree of Life. It's an incredible place to visit

Ancient Airplanes

These small gold objects were found in a tomb in Columbia and
catalogued as fish, moths and butterfly trinkets. When German
fighter pilot and engineer J.A, Ulrich saw the large, bottom "bee"
in 1972, he remarked that it looked exactly like an F-102 fighter,
with rudder and speed brakes, exactly like the Swedish SAAB
aircraft at the time. Many scientists refused to believe these were
models of aircraft.

This perfect scale-model wood glider is in the
Cairo Museum in Egypt and was found at a
dig in Saqqara. It was catalogued as a "bird".

At the 'Ancient Astronaut' Conference in 1997, Peter Belting actually built  scaled-up (but otherwise precise) models of the ostensibly "miniature aircraft" -- and then attached propellers and jet engines.  And they flew!!

Watch these two videos about these ancient aircraft.  The first is a short documentary from the history channel. (history.com).  The second, I think is even more interesting.

2000 Year Old Pots Were Found to be Electrical Batteries!

In 1938 Dr. Wilhelm Konig found several earthenware pots at a dig near
Baghdad, Iraq. The pots dated back 2000 years and were found to be
electrical batteries.

Each pot contained a tube of sheet copper made up of smaller cylinders
soldered to each other with a 60-40 lead-tin alloy. The bottoms of the cylinders
were capped with copper disks and sealed with asphalt or bitumen. Another
layer of asphalt held two suspended iron rods down into the pot and copper
tube and showed evidence of being corroded by acids. When a replica of the
pots was made with freash materials, it was found that the iron rod held at the
top generated between 1.5 and 2 volts of electricity. According to current
historical beliefs, electricity wasn't 'discovered' until AD 1800 in Europe, yet
here it is.

Some researchers have said we only know about 10% of Man's past history -
why don't we examine these anomalies with an open mind?

Truly Amazing: Convicted Forger at Sing Sing in the early 1800's

Convicted forger A. Schiller was serving his time in Sing

Sing prison in the late 1800s when guards found him dead in

his cell. On his body they found seven regular straight pins

whose heads measured the typical 47/1000ths of an inch or

1.17 millimeters in diameter. Under 500 magnification it was

found that the tiny etchings seen on the heads of the pins

were the words to The Lord's Prayer, which is 65 words and

254 letters long. Of the seven pins, six were silver and one

was gold - the gold pin's prayer was flawless and a true

masterpiece. Schiller had spent the last 25 years of his life

creating the pins, using a tool too small to be seen by the

naked eye. It is estimated that it took 1,863 sepatate carving

strokes to make it. Schiller went blind because of his

artwork.http://www.anomalies-unlimited.com/Prayer.html

Lofoten - Arctic Circle Anomaly

The archipelago of Lofoten in Norway is north of the Arctic Circle.  Yet throughout the year it has temperatures which belie its position.  

This is because of the largest positive temperature anomaly in the world relative to latitude.  

It makes Lofoten an unexpected delight – its early settlers must have thought they had stumbled across an arctic paradise.

Prepare to have your breath taken away.

What they found there was a sea teaming with life and the largest deep water coral reef in the word.  There are literally millions of sea birds with many species represented, such as the sea eagle, the cormorant and the puffin.  Otter are common in the area and on the larger islands of the archipelago there are moose.

Supercell Cloud

The photograph is just one image from the portfolio of electrician Sean Heavey. The supercell cloud was photographed in July west of Glasgow, Montana, USA.

Mr Heavey, 34, an amateur photographer, created the jaw-dropping panoramic image by stitching together three photos from the 400 frames he took of the violent scene he witnessed in July.  It caused minor damage, and lasted several hours before moving on. Massive storm systems like this centre on mesocyclones -- rotating updrafts that deliver torrential rain and high winds.  The dangerous outbreak of weather raged for several hours and caused minor damage to local communities - while watchful Mr Heavey captured all its devastating beauty from a distance.  Taking photographs of storms for the past seven years, this year Mr Heavey and his masterpiece are up for a prestigious award from National Geographic.   Called the 'Mothership', because of the striking image's similarity to an alien space ship, the photograph was actually four years in the making.  'I have two storm chasing friends I met through my wife Toni and they've been badgering me to go out with them for that long,' explained Sean.  'I' normally rely on simply being in the right place at the right time for my photography, while I'm out working. But in July I finally decided to do it and thankfully this picture was the result. We don't usually get weather like this out in Montana, it felt like the perfect storm.  'The power was awe inspiring.'
