...Government cover-ups Introduction UFOs have been seen by people all over the world. People of different cultures and ethnicities have different names for these unknown craft. In Spanish it is “objeto volante no identificado”, and in German it is actually UFO. Regardless of what race you are, UFO means the same thing, “Unidentified flying Object”. Let me be clear on this. It means it is a flying object that cannot be identified. We will delve into the world of UFOs and underground military installations, and examine the history of UFOs, their hot spots, and look into evidence of government cover-ups. UFO History Unidentified flying objects have been around a long time, one of the earliest sightings in 593 BC, recorded in the Bible in the book of Ezekiel 1:16. Ezekiel talks of encountering a flying object near Cheber River Chaldea, in today’s Iraq. "Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of beryl” (1, Ezekiel 1:16 English standard version, 2010). Perhaps it sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but many historians have taken this biblical account seriously. He described what he saw with words and phrases from the reality and time he was living in. Even so, there is enough information there to conclude that he was witnessing a craft of some kind and its occupants. There is...

...Literature Project #2 BIBLIOGRAPHY: Shaara, Michael, The Killer Angels, The Random House Publishing Group, Brooklyn New York, 2003 SUMMARY: The book begins with a spy who had intel on the location of enemy troops. The spy explained how he easily slipped past the barrier General Lee had set up and that they will arrive in Gettysburg soon. General Lee did not have much time to fortify Gettysburg, so he ordered an entire battalion to come protect Gettysburg from the Union army. The Union army was getting closer everyday, so finally General Lee secured the town of Gettysburg. The soldiers said, “That the land seemed too neat to have a battle fought on.” When the Union army came they gave a tough fight, but General Lee already had forces stationed...

...off as simply crazy stories, the legend of Bigfoot has caused much debate and investigation into the truth behind the stories of the giant ape-like animal. Many scientists have studied the supposed evidence of Bigfoot and the stories that have been told about the creature. For years, the research into the existence of Bigfoot has gone on with no conclusive evidence being found to prove the existence or non-existence of such an animal. As the questions remain, the legend of Bigfoot lives on and continues to grow from year to year. The stories and evidence provided in this paper are all from David Jenkins’ personal collection and experiences. David Jenkins was my zoology teacher in tenth grade, my biology teacher in eleventh grade, and finally my marine biology teacher my senior year. Mr. Jenkins has gone to church with my family and I since I can remember. He is a science teacher by trade, but is also a legitimate Bigfoot researcher and is affiliated with the Bigfoot Field Research Organization. When I spoke to Mr. Jenkins in May 2013, that I would be writing a research paper on the subject of Bigfoot, he was more than pleased to help me. BIGFOOT: LEGEND OR FACT? 3 When people hear talk...

...days after the accident, another eight were killed by an avalanche that swept over their shelter in the wreckage. The last 16 survivors were rescued on 23 December 1972, more than two months after the crash. The survivors had little food and no source of heat in the harsh conditions at over 3,600 metres (11,800 ft) altitude. Faced with starvation and radio news reports that the search for them had been abandoned, the survivors fed on the dead passengers who had been preserved in the snow. Rescuers did not learn of the survivors until 72 days after the crash when passengers Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, after a 10-day trek across the Andes, found Chilean arriero Sergio Catalán, who gave them food and then alerted the authorities to the existence of the other survivors. The crash On 13 October 1972, a chartered Uruguayan Air Force twin turboprop Fairchild FH-227D was flying over the Andes carrying the Old Christians Club rugby union team from Montevideo, Uruguay, to play a match in Santiago, Chile. The trip had begun the day before, when the Fairchild departed from Carrasco International Airport, but inclement mountain weather forced an overnight stop in Mendoza, Argentina. At the Fairchild's ceiling of 9,000 metres (30,000 ft), the plane could not fly directly from Mendoza, over the Andes, to Santiago, in large part because of the weather. Instead, the pilots had to fly south from Mendoza...

...specifically girls, residing in Pakistan. When Mortenson's goals of scaling the second highest peak in the world, the K2, failed, he lost his sense of direction. On his intense expedition down the mountain, Mortenson found himself wandering through a rural and hidden town named Korphe. There he discovered that the few male children who attended "school" sat outside in the brisk cold, and carved letters with branches in the mud. The villagers couldn't afford a full-time teacher, let alone a building. However, these people didn't hesitate to give Mortenson, someone at the time no more to them than a stranger, their best blankets, and precious sugar. Moved by their kindness, this was the tipping point when Mortenson lost interest in his own climbing goals and shifted his focus entirely on improving the lives of the people of Pakistan. He promised to build them a school on...

...My name is Jordan and I am a freshman at Westminster College. I am an out-ofstate student from Idaho and I plan on having a career in Mechanical Engineer. I came to Westminster College to play for the soccer team and well as for the skiing in the area. I live in Hogle Hall and throughout my experiences living in the dorms I have observed many different things that I have written about. My observations are about the general dorm life, students study habits, setup of college, and roommate relationships at Westminster College. I will discuss these topics in the same order that I observed them, from the first month, to the second month, and then finally to the fourth month, the end of the semester. Dorm Life at Westminster College I have experienced once a month and three days of college. I have observed and analyzed the dorm life at Westminster College and will present my observations that pertain to the overall design of the dorms, the significances of the dorms to students social lives, and the difference in the design of upper classmen to lower classman dorms. The Hogle Hall dormitory is three stories and has a main common room in the middle of every floor. There are dorm rooms all down each side of the hall way and the community restrooms are conveniently located in the first doors down the hall from each of the common rooms, boy’s and girl’s restrooms are on opposite sides of the common room. The doorway, for the only stairwell in the building, is also located in the common...

...The Pages Of History by Donald Smith Professor David K. Woodroof English 122 22 June 2011 The Pages of History I have often contemplated about what makes something important enough to be recorded on the pages of history. History is only as accurate as the scribes that laid down its foundation and the editors that decided what was important enough to be retained. People possibly for their brilliance or horrendous acts, inventions or monumental events that may have changed the world are recorded for posterity. Editors have the difficult task of sifting through mountains of historical recordings, selecting the most significant and compiling them accordingly into anthologies or independent volumes. Over the centuries some items have remained while others have faded from history’s pages. In many instances those items that made it past the editor’s pen shall remain among the pages of history for eternity. As an example, if I were to mention Thomas Edison, one would immediately think of the electric light bulb. Others are forever enshrined in history for their brilliant minds: Newton; Galileo; Michelangelo; Da Vinci; or Hitler and the Nazis for their infamous acts. Not limited to people, events such as the discovery of the new world, the Battle of Gettysburg, and the rise and fall of the Roman Empire have made past the editors. Many rightly deserve their places in the annals of recorded time but some have elevated or cemented themselves on history’s pages...

...Behind the Scenes Thirty Years A Slave and Four Years In The White House is the autobiography of Elizabeth Keckley. It is a story of self-reliance and compassion. Mrs. Keckley tells the story of her life as she journeyed from a slave owner’s house to the White House. This is evident in how the thirty years she lived as a slave was condensed in a mere 31 out of 219 pages. According to Keckley, “From such a wilderness of events it is difficult to make a selection, but as I am not writing altogether the history of myself, I will confine my story to the most important incidents which I believe influenced the moulding of my character” (Keckley, 8). The remaining pages detailed her life as a free woman and her role as a confidante to First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln. In the preface to book, Mrs. Keckley states she wrote the book as an autobiography and to explain the actions of Mrs. Lincoln after the assassination of the President....

...DESTINATION REPORT AUSTRALIA DEBBIE HOOK WORLD GEOGRAPHY AUSTRALIA “There is nothing like Australia” G’ Day mates, and welcome to Australia. As the tourist board of Australia would say, “There is nothing like Australia” (Australia) but The Australian bush poet, Dorothea Mackellar , said it best in her poem "My Country" with an affirmation that speaks for all Australians. "I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror - The wide brown land for me!" Dorothea Mackellar [ (Baskerville, 2009) ] You could easily spend three to four weeks discovering all of Australia. However if time were limited, then a short weeklong “walkabout” to the area of your choice would do. Australia is divided into six states each with a different landscape and cultural difference: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia. AUSTRALIA Prepare for your Australian trip, by learning about the currency; how to place a phone call; and what to do if a medical or safety emergency happens. Approximately, 85 percent of the people of Australia live in the southeastern quarter of the country, especially in large cities along the coast. The vast interior of Australia is too dry to support a large population, and few people live there. The eastern Highlands, sometimes called...

...Hannah Muller ENVR 102 Book Report For this book report, I read Teaching the Trees by Joan Maloof. Joan Maloof studied Plant Science at the University of Delaware, Environmental Science at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and Ecology at the University of Maryland College Park. Maloof is a professor at Salisbury University who teaches biology and environmental studies at Salisbury University. Aside from being a professor, Maloof is a biologist. She was always very interested in forests so from very early on Maloof has been exploring forests all over the eastern United States. She puts a lot of focus on the intertwined connections between specific tree species and the specific animals and insects that need to tree to live and in turn the tree needs them as well. Maloof possesses great enthusiasm for the woods and everything that they contain and is working on developing networking old growth forests across the United States. Teaching the Trees starts out with Joan Maloof saying how we would lose the “Magical Web” of relationships between organisms and trees (Maloof xiii). She begins talking about the services that trees provide for us. She also talks about how the benefits of trees equal healthier air for us to breathe. Japanese researchers have even found that there are 120 chemical compounds in mountain forest air that are good for us (Maloof 3). Inhaling this air can even be cancer preventing. Perhaps by trying to save the forests we are actually trying to save...

...lifestyle. Therefore, a tectonic hazard is one which involves tectonic processes being hazardous to humans. In the first part of my essay I will be explaining exactly what is meant by tectonic processes and will be referring to the relatively new concept of Plate Tectonics which, although being presented as a theory in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, was not actually taken as the standard model until the late 1960’s and even then was being criticized by many learned scholars into the 1980’s. I will then explain what the main types of hazards are in tectonics, namely volcanoes (openings in the earth crust from which material from below the earth’s surface can be ejected) and earthquakes (movement in the earth’s crust that causes shaking of the ground above). However, there are many more hazards that can be associated with these two, namely tsunamis and from volcanoes, pyroclastic flows, lahars and volcanic gases. What causes these hazards should be explained in my explanation of plate tectonics. Throughout my assignment, I will be using many examples of tectonic hazards from around the globe, but will be focusing on certain case studies to try and explain exactly what causes tectonic hazards. I will be using the San Andreas Fault in the western part of North America as an example of transform plate margins*, the Himalayas as an example of fold mountains created by collision zones of convergent plate margin* between two continental plates, Krakatoa as an example of hazards that can...

...majority of written works, whether in magazines, newspapers, short stories, or novels, are delivered electronically. I don't imagine that everyone believes the computer screen and Web page is the preferred format for the consumption of this kind of content. I know that industry analyst Tim Bajarin made the argument in a recent column that future generations of e-book readers will offer color screens (I guess that's a good thing), and he suggests that a copy of Harry Potter might benefit from having an embedded video clip from the movie. I disagree. When I want to read a novel, I want to read a novel. I don't need to be distracted by multimedia, or even color, to help me imagine the story. My mind is quite adept at painting a picture with the words I'm reading. For me, that's the allure of a good, rip-roaring novel. The minute that publishers start producing e-books with "enhancements," we'll witness the beginning of the end of that format for the written word. The good news is that we're not there yet. For now, there are stores and libraries crammed full of paper books, and new ones published every day. The e-book phenomenon is just starting to take hold, and the rare color model, like the one from Fujitsu, is available only for pre-order right now. This means that products like the Kindle 2 are still bleeding-edge curiosities that offer their share of...

...As the scholar Diana Eck reminds us, for most of our history our religious discourse was dominated by a culturally conservative European heritage—people like me. Alternative visions of faith rarely reached the mainstream. That has changed markedly as we steam deeper into the twenty-first century. Almost 80 percent of Americans still identify themselves as Christians, but they are a far more motley lot than the mainstream media understand or report. Other faiths are now making their presence felt, and our religious landscape is being re-created right before our...

...wars throughout history. One of the most essential wars in America’s history was the American revolution. There were spies on both sides of the revolution and some that died for the cause. Nathan Hale, Benedict Arnold, and Patience Wright were important to the American Revolution because they fought as captains and generals, went undercover in enemy territory, and were willing to put their lives at risk for important information. Nathan Hale is one of the most famous spies, and is known for his bravery and sacrifice. Born on June 6, 1755 and the sixth of twelve children, he grew up a “normal boy”. Hale went to Yale University at the age of fourteen and received a job as a school teacher about two years later. He taught at Union Grammar School in New London, Connecticut. He loved his job but also loved his country. He joined the Connecticut Militia and then the Connecticut Army in the early 1770s. After leading a successful attack on a British ship he became a captain under George Washington. Hale also became a member of the Knowlton Rangers, a group known for leadership and fighting qualities on dangerous missions....
