Valleys form the shape of a human head
Nature yields some strange things, but this one is way spooky. What you see here is not some masterpiece of mankind, but one of Mother Earth.
Situated 25 miles east of Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada, near the Saskatchewan border at 50° 0′38.20″N 110° 6′48.32″W,
this extraordinary phenomenon is clearly in the shape of a human head, 1000 feet wide, complete with feathered headress, and facing westward.
Is this a formation of one of the ancient gods? How did it get there? Is it really just a natural oddity, or was it carved there for some purpose thousands of years ago? Sadly, we may never know the answers to these questions. But it’s sure worth pondering…at least it is for me!
Using my Google Earth program to view it at a lower angle almost level with the earth, you can see that it is formed by valleys rather than raised ground, as it looks from above.
I’m certain this anomaly has made it’s rounds across the world wide web, but I had not seen it before today. It’s definitely something to share with those who have appreciation for such things.
Strange Clouds…or Cloud Ships?
I recently found a website that knocked my socks off! I spent a very long time examining the photos there. Clouds can be very strange indeed, especially lenticular clouds.
Lenticular clouds are simply one more example of the beauty and complexity that can be the result from a simple process in nature.These lens-shaped clouds are often mistaken for UFO’s because of their weird shape that seems to mandate a prior design. But like evolution, it is just a process that has designed these kind of clouds…
Simply, when clouds go over a mountain top, the mountains cause a pattern of up and down waves in the wind, with lenticular clouds forming at the peaks of these waves.

And this one is just magnificent:

I understand the concept of lenticular clouds, but what about ones that are not situated over mountains or hills? Like these, which look suspiciously like some kind of flying or hovering craft?
I don’t know about you, but if I saw these clouds hanging over my house, I might get a bit edgy. Especially if I were this guy, who filmed two of these clouds “hanging out” in his area in Costa Del Sol, Spain.

The camera is erratic at times, but if you watch these videos closely, you can see clusters of small craft, from time to time, entering and leaving the big cloud on the left at a very high rate of speed! Is that the “mother ship?” You tell me! And if so, what was the purpose of all that activity?

Beautiful Comet McNaught

Comet McNaught can no longer be seen from the Northern hemisphere, but those in the southern hemisphere and getting quite a show. Beautiful!
An Odd Dwarf Planet is Going to be the Brightest Comet Ever
A bit of exciting news from astronomy:
Astronomers believe that a strange dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt, found in a region of the outer Solar System is going to become the brightest comet ever.
2003 EL61 is one of the biggest in the icy Belt, as large as Pluto along its longest dimension.
The dense, rugby-ball shaped planet is made of rock with just a thin layer of ice on its surface (other Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) contain much more water-ice) and fast revolution rotation.
The researchers think that the object could have a close encounter with the planet Neptune, whose gravity would expel it into the inner Solar System as a short-lived comet.
“If you came back in two million years, EL61 could well be a comet,” said Professor Michael Brown, from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena.
“When it becomes a comet, it will be the brightest we will ever see.”
This object is extremely odd, due to its elongated shape, caused by the spinning on its axis every four hours.
Computer simulations predict the object has a very unstable orbit and is set for a close encounter with Neptune.
The Neptune’s gravitational force could either attract EL61 into the inner Solar System as a comet, out into the distant Oort Cloud region, or even into interstellar space.
Other Kuiper Belt Objects tend to be highly stable, but the region where EL61 is situated might be a source for short-lived comets.
The Caltech team believes that about 4.5 billion years ago, 2003 EL61 was a ball, half composed of ice and half of rock, the same composition and mass as Pluto, but at a given moment, it was hit by another large KBO on a edge.
The collision broke off much of 2003 EL61’s icy mantle, and the lost material formed several satellites, composed, of course, of very pure ice.
It’s possible that some of 2003 EL61’s mantle material entered into the Solar System as comets.
The oblique collision may have also provoked 2003 EL61 to spin rapidly, with the effect of shaping the elongated current rugby-ball design.
“It’s a bit like the story of Mercury,” Professor Brown explained.
“Mercury got hit by a large object early in the Solar System. It left mostly a big iron core, with a little bit of rock on the outside. This is mostly a rock core with a little bit of ice on the outside.”
