Clear and cold this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — another gorgeous day in a line-up of immediately-past gorgeous days. We’ll take it despite the weather not being alien. Writing of such, the US has knocked four UFOs out of the air the last week or so, though, one has been absolutely categorized…
A quiet early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — once again a seemingly early-spring feel to the day with sunshine and warm temperatures. Beyond another ‘object’ being shot down over the Great Lakes today, most of the news cycle has been a bit muted. The’UFO’ will keep the masses enthralled for a space of…
