1 00:00:07,369 --> 00:00:04,370 hello it's Wednesday July 5th 2017 you 2 00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:07,379 are listening to inception Radio Network 3 00:00:15,860 --> 00:00:10,050 voice of the fringe majority this is 4 00:00:17,450 --> 00:00:15,870 Carol Karl with UFO headline news we 5 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:17,460 thought it might be fun before we bring 6 00:00:21,710 --> 00:00:20,250 you tonight's Skywatch forecast - here's 7 00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:21,720 something about one of the people who 8 00:00:26,330 --> 00:00:23,670 brings us this great information 9 00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:26,340 it's Bruce McClure he served as lead 10 00:00:31,849 --> 00:00:28,800 writer for Earth's skies popular tonight 11 00:00:35,389 --> 00:00:31,859 pages since 2004 we've been reading them 12 00:00:37,790 --> 00:00:35,399 here on the UFO headline news since 2014 13 00:00:40,430 --> 00:00:37,800 roughly rose McClure is a Sun Dial 14 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:40,440 aficionado whose love for the heavens 15 00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:42,450 has taken him to Lake Titicaca in 16 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:44,520 Bolivia and sailing in the North 17 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:47,010 Atlantic where he earned his celestial 18 00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:48,930 navigation certificate through the 19 00:00:53,689 --> 00:00:51,360 school of ocean sailing and navigation 20 00:00:55,970 --> 00:00:53,699 he also writes and hosts public 21 00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:55,980 astronomy programs and planetarium 22 00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:58,410 programs in and around his home in 23 00:01:03,260 --> 00:01:00,719 upstate New York so let's hear what 24 00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:03,270 Bruce McClure has to offer us tonight in 25 00:01:08,899 --> 00:01:06,720 our skies he suggests let the bright 26 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:08,909 waxing gibbous moon guide you to the 27 00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:12,090 star and Taurus and planet Saturn he 28 00:01:15,890 --> 00:01:14,040 expects both Antares and Saturn to be 29 00:01:19,070 --> 00:01:15,900 bright enough to overcome tonight's 30 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:19,080 lunar glare from that pesky moon the 31 00:01:23,810 --> 00:01:21,210 constellation Scorpius the Scorpion 32 00:01:26,270 --> 00:01:23,820 might offer a little difficulty making 33 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:26,280 out that fishhook shape tonight but the 34 00:01:30,170 --> 00:01:28,530 moon will drop out of the evening sky by 35 00:01:32,690 --> 00:01:30,180 the middle of this month and then you 36 00:01:35,690 --> 00:01:32,700 can see Scorpius the scorpion in all its 37 00:01:38,569 --> 00:01:35,700 starlit glory but for now use the moon 38 00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:38,579 to find Antares and Saturn and then let 39 00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:41,430 Antares and Saturn be your guides to the 40 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:43,920 constellation Scorpius once that moon 41 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:46,770 has moved onward both ant Aris and 42 00:01:51,499 --> 00:01:49,680 Saturn are first magnitude brightness so 43 00:01:53,690 --> 00:01:51,509 they're still pretty easy to see even on 44 00:01:56,870 --> 00:01:53,700 a moonlit night you can distinguish 45 00:01:59,510 --> 00:01:56,880 Saturn from Antares by color and Horus 46 00:02:01,880 --> 00:01:59,520 shines in a sparkling red issue while 47 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:01,890 Saturn appears more golden if you have 48 00:02:05,780 --> 00:02:03,840 difficulty discerning the color try 49 00:02:08,410 --> 00:02:05,790 binoculars that should do it 50 00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:08,420 or just wait till the moon moves away 51 00:02:13,850 --> 00:02:11,520 because aunt Aris is a star it'll be 52 00:02:15,950 --> 00:02:13,860 more apt to twinkle than planets after 53 00:02:18,770 --> 00:02:15,960 which typically shines with a steadier 54 00:02:21,620 --> 00:02:18,780 light a first magnitude star like 55 00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:21,630 Antares tends to Sparkle most wildly 56 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:24,000 when it's close to the horizon and at 57 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:26,250 such times planets can twinkle a bit to 58 00:02:31,310 --> 00:02:29,010 Earth's atmosphere of course is what's 59 00:02:33,170 --> 00:02:31,320 causing this twinkling and we're looking 60 00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:33,180 through more atmosphere in the direction 61 00:02:39,020 --> 00:02:36,480 of the horizon than overhead with a 62 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:39,030 telescope even the modest backyard 63 00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:41,570 variety you can easily see the rings of 64 00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:42,750 Saturn 65 00:02:50,330 --> 00:02:47,310 you'll see why so many sky watching 66 00:02:53,630 --> 00:02:50,340 enthusiasts consider Saturn the jewel of 67 00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:53,640 the solar system because the moon moves 68 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:55,350 eastward in front of the constellations 69 00:03:00,800 --> 00:02:57,570 of the zodiac look for the moon to pair 70 00:03:04,190 --> 00:03:00,810 up with Saturn July 6th and be east of 71 00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:04,200 Saturn on the day after July 7th so 72 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:07,230 here's that standard bottom line as soon 73 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:11,010 as darkness falls on July 5th 2017 watch 74 00:03:18,110 --> 00:03:13,410 for the moon the star and Taurus and 75 00:03:21,770 --> 00:03:18,120 planet Saturn splendid still in the 76 00:03:24,949 --> 00:03:21,780 cosmos science Magog brings us this with 77 00:03:28,190 --> 00:03:24,959 a byline for Daniel Clary Milky Way's 78 00:03:31,820 --> 00:03:28,200 super fast stars may have been fired out 79 00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:31,830 of a nearby galaxy a small number of 80 00:03:37,340 --> 00:03:34,500 stars moving so fast they'll eventually 81 00:03:39,740 --> 00:03:37,350 escape the Milky Way may not come from 82 00:03:42,590 --> 00:03:39,750 our galaxy at all according to a new 83 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:42,600 study until now scientists have largely 84 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:45,050 believed that such hypervelocity stars 85 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:48,090 originated when binary stars get torn 86 00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:50,730 apart by the supermassive black hole at 87 00:03:55,430 --> 00:03:53,040 the center of the Milky Way which 88 00:03:59,120 --> 00:03:55,440 consumes 1 star and flings the other 89 00:04:01,460 --> 00:03:59,130 away at incredible speeds there are 90 00:04:04,190 --> 00:04:01,470 alternative scenarios of course but none 91 00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:04,200 explains why most of the 20 or so 92 00:04:10,190 --> 00:04:07,470 hypervelocity stars found so far are all 93 00:04:13,250 --> 00:04:10,200 in the same area of sky in the vicinity 94 00:04:17,930 --> 00:04:13,260 of Leo and sexton's constellations 95 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:17,940 that's both s ext ans enter the Sloan 96 00:04:23,029 --> 00:04:21,090 Digital Sky Survey it's provided a team 97 00:04:25,580 --> 00:04:23,039 of astronomers with position and 98 00:04:27,409 --> 00:04:25,590 velocity data as well as computer 99 00:04:30,830 --> 00:04:27,419 simulations of stellar 100 00:04:32,719 --> 00:04:30,840 in the Large Magellanic Cloud that's a 101 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:32,729 small satellite galaxy near the Milky 102 00:04:38,029 --> 00:04:36,090 Way also known as the LMC all this 103 00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:38,039 information shows that these speeding 104 00:04:43,550 --> 00:04:40,800 stars might come from their lower 105 00:04:46,219 --> 00:04:43,560 velocity runaway stars can be produced 106 00:04:49,070 --> 00:04:46,229 when one half of a binary pair explodes 107 00:04:52,610 --> 00:04:49,080 as a supernova blasting its partner away 108 00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:52,620 such an event in the LMC which has 10% 109 00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:55,590 of the milky way's mass could easily 110 00:05:00,890 --> 00:04:58,080 eject it from the satellite galaxy all 111 00:05:02,899 --> 00:05:00,900 together and because the Large 112 00:05:06,499 --> 00:05:02,909 Magellanic Cloud is orbiting the Milky 113 00:05:09,499 --> 00:05:06,509 Way at nearly 400 kilometres per second 114 00:05:12,350 --> 00:05:09,509 a star ejected from it could be moving 115 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:12,360 faster than the 500 kilometers per 116 00:05:17,209 --> 00:05:14,250 second that makes it a hypervelocity 117 00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:17,219 star in the Milky Way the team published 118 00:05:22,459 --> 00:05:19,919 a report today in Monthly Notices of the 119 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:22,469 Royal Astronomical Society and at the 120 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:24,210 United Kingdom national astronomy 121 00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:27,090 meeting in Hull England most of the 122 00:05:31,369 --> 00:05:28,889 known hypervelocity stars have 123 00:05:33,950 --> 00:05:31,379 trajectories that would indeed fit this 124 00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:33,960 scenario confirmation will hopefully 125 00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:36,449 come next year when Europe star mapping 126 00:05:41,719 --> 00:05:38,479 satellites and they're calling her Gaia 127 00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:41,729 publishes its full catalogue the team 128 00:05:45,469 --> 00:05:42,870 predict it should find more 129 00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:45,479 hypervelocity stars along the past and 130 00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:48,000 future orbit of the Large Magellanic 131 00:05:54,409 --> 00:05:51,089 Cloud if you'd like to see an image of 132 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:54,419 the LMC the Large Magellanic Cloud you 133 00:06:01,249 --> 00:05:57,330 can find that via a link later at UFO 134 00:06:02,899 --> 00:06:01,259 headline news dot-com indeed spectacular 135 00:06:04,579 --> 00:06:02,909 here's something that definitely 136 00:06:07,519 --> 00:06:04,589 shouldn't fall into the category of 137 00:06:10,159 --> 00:06:07,529 fear-mongering it's more of an awareness 138 00:06:13,550 --> 00:06:10,169 kind of thing we picked up this story 139 00:06:16,610 --> 00:06:13,560 from BGR dot-com it gets a byline from 140 00:06:19,159 --> 00:06:16,620 Mike Waner here's the headline NASA has 141 00:06:22,670 --> 00:06:19,169 a plan for preventing asteroid strikes 142 00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:22,680 and it's going to test it the threat of 143 00:06:26,990 --> 00:06:24,479 an asteroid striking earth is pretty 144 00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:27,000 scary but not just in all those ways 145 00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:30,150 Hollywood movies have depicted but human 146 00:06:34,309 --> 00:06:31,919 technology has reached a point where it 147 00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:34,319 might actually be possible for us to 148 00:06:40,010 --> 00:06:37,560 prevent an asteroid impact if we see one 149 00:06:41,190 --> 00:06:40,020 heading in our direction nASA has a 150 00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:41,200 concept for a 151 00:06:47,390 --> 00:06:44,110 tool that could do the trick it's called 152 00:06:49,950 --> 00:06:47,400 the dart that stands for double asteroid 153 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:49,960 redirection test and the agency is 154 00:06:54,510 --> 00:06:52,090 finally moving forward with its plan to 155 00:06:57,180 --> 00:06:54,520 design and hopefully build the hardware 156 00:07:00,540 --> 00:06:57,190 it needs to save humanity's bacon 157 00:07:02,690 --> 00:07:00,550 the idea behind dart is that by spotting 158 00:07:05,970 --> 00:07:02,700 a troublesome asteroid well in advance a 159 00:07:07,950 --> 00:07:05,980 kinetic impactor could nudge the space 160 00:07:10,410 --> 00:07:07,960 rock off its collision course with earth 161 00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:10,420 the plan includes sending a spacecraft 162 00:07:16,290 --> 00:07:13,510 to the asteroid and impacting it in such 163 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:16,300 a way to alter its orbit the spacecraft 164 00:07:20,370 --> 00:07:18,490 wouldn't have to be particularly large 165 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:20,380 just about the size of a refrigerator 166 00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:23,770 would do because even a small change in 167 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:25,510 the asteroids trajectory would be 168 00:07:31,950 --> 00:07:28,690 amplified over time and cause it to miss 169 00:07:34,050 --> 00:07:31,960 planet Earth the dart plan is currently 170 00:07:36,090 --> 00:07:34,060 moving from the concept to design phase 171 00:07:39,180 --> 00:07:36,100 and the actual testing of the hardware 172 00:07:42,450 --> 00:07:39,190 is expected to take place in 2024 at 173 00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:42,460 that point here's the plan a dart 174 00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:44,560 spacecraft will be sent to an asteroid 175 00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:46,840 that doesn't pose a threat to earth but 176 00:07:51,870 --> 00:07:49,630 will perform that same task as it would 177 00:07:53,970 --> 00:07:51,880 on a potentially cataclysmic space rock 178 00:07:57,390 --> 00:07:53,980 in order to gauge how well it actually 179 00:07:59,610 --> 00:07:57,400 works and if it does the fear of an 180 00:08:03,050 --> 00:07:59,620 asteroid collision could become a thing 181 00:08:06,330 --> 00:08:03,060 of the past would that not be cool 182 00:08:09,150 --> 00:08:06,340 speaking of cool and past its way back 183 00:08:11,220 --> 00:08:09,160 Wednesday here at UFO headline news will 184 00:08:15,630 --> 00:08:11,230 be going way back to the evening of 185 00:08:18,350 --> 00:08:15,640 October 11th 1973 when two co-workers 186 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:18,360 had what they called the Pascagoula 187 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:21,610 abduction we'll go over the principle 188 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:23,770 players the first two witnesses and 189 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:27,250 recap that event and then add an update 190 00:08:32,370 --> 00:08:29,770 it turns out that Charlie Hickson and 191 00:08:35,310 --> 00:08:32,380 Calvin Parker weren't the only witnesses 192 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:35,320 that night speaking of updates here's 193 00:08:40,710 --> 00:08:37,930 the latest on SpaceX attempt to launch 194 00:08:43,170 --> 00:08:40,720 that Falcon 9 rocket journalist James 195 00:08:46,230 --> 00:08:43,180 Dean gets the byline here for Florida 196 00:08:48,630 --> 00:08:46,240 today SpaceX might be ready Wednesday 197 00:08:51,450 --> 00:08:48,640 evening that's tonight for a third 198 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:51,460 attempt to launch a falcon 9 rocket from 199 00:08:54,930 --> 00:08:52,810 the Kennedy Space Center 200 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:54,940 it'll be carrying the Intel 201 00:09:00,330 --> 00:08:57,370 communication satellite the Air Force 202 00:09:03,060 --> 00:09:00,340 has approved a potential liftoff of 7:35 203 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:03,070 p.m. Eastern

that as 215 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:31,390 well there was no guarantee launch teams 216 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:33,610 could identify and fix the problem in 217 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:35,650 time to

earlier CEO Elon 226 00:10:00,630 --> 00:09:58,030 Musk had said the launch would not occur 227 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:00,640 before Wednesday or Thursday to allow 228 00:10:05,580 --> 00:10:03,850 time for that necessary review he said 229 00:10:09,180 --> 00:10:05,590 quote only one chance to get it right 230 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:09,190 end quotes in taos at the Luxembourg 231 00:10:13,290

weeks which wouldn't be 240 00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:30,970 an impressive achievement because the 241 00:10:37,290 --> 00:10:34,390 rocket is lifting a heavy nearly 15,000 242 00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:37,300 pound satellite to a high orbit no 243 00:10:42,030 --> 00:10:40,150 booster landing will be attempted if the 244 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:42,040 launch slips into Thursday it would 245 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:44,530 coincide with another high-profile event 246 00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:47,410 at Kennedy Space Center space industry 247 00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:49,690 heavyweights are

United States Army radar 265 00:11:38,890 --> 00:11:35,330 stationed at Fort Monmouth detected an 266 00:11:41,110 --> 00:11:38,900 unknown low altitude target the Signal 267 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:41,120 Corps operator and an Army officer in 268 00:11:46,510 --> 00:11:43,490 the radar clocked that target with an 269 00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:46,520 approximate speed of about 700 miles per 270 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:49,310 hour the tracking station lost contact 271 00:11:54,940 --> 00:11:51,410 with the high-speed target as it neared 272 00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:54,950 New York City the

00:12:03,410 in that era military jets didn't fly 276 00:12:09,310 --> 00:12:07,310 anywhere near 700 miles per hour while 277 00:12:10,690 --> 00:12:09,320 there were test aircrafts that had brief 278 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:10,700 periods of that sort of speed 279 00:12:16,210 --> 00:12:13,010 performance nothing the military had 280 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:16,220 could fly and maintain that speed this 281 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:18,290 incident resulted in the Air Force being 282 00:12:23,230 --> 00:12:20,330 severely criticized by the other 283 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:23,240 branches of

521 00:23:18,870 --> 00:23:15,799 unfortunately doesn't mention whether he 522 00:23:22,289 --> 00:23:18,880 was a speaker or just in attendance in 523 00:23:24,610 --> 00:23:22,299 1993 Parker

00:23:29,059 transitioned at age 80 527 00:23:35,310 --> 00:23:32,299 September 9th 2011 then there was the 528 00:23:37,389 --> 00:23:35,320 parade of the usual suspects skeptics 529 00:23:39,870 --> 00:23:37,399 aviation journalists and UFO skeptic 530 00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:39,880 Philip jet class found quote 531 00:23:45,820 --> 00:23:42,559 discrepancies and quotes in Hickson's 532 00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:45,830 story when Hickson took a polygraph exam 533 00:23:51,009 --> 00:23:48,320 the examiner determined that Hickson 534 00:23:52,870 --> 00:23:51,019 believed the abduction story but Philip 535 00:23:55,090 --> 00:23:52,880 J class argued that the test was 536 00:23:57,940 --> 00:23:55,100 administered by a quote inexperienced 537 00:24:00,009 --> 00:23:57,950 and quotes operator and that Hickson 538 00:24:02,889 --> 00:24:00,019 refused to take another my more 539 00:24:05,470 --> 00:24:02,899 experienced police operators class 540 00:24:07,649 --> 00:24:05,480 concluded then the case was a hoax based 541 00:24:10,149 --> 00:24:07,659 on these and other discrepancies 542 00:24:10,659 --> 00:24:10,159 well-known skeptic investigator Joe 543 00:24:12,820 --> 00:24:10,669 Nickell 544 00:24:15,250 --> 00:24:12,830 wrote that Hickson's behavior was quote 545 00:24:17,919 --> 00:24:15,260 questionable end quote and that he 546 00:24:20,769 --> 00:24:17,929 altered or embellished his story when 547 00:24:22,509 --> 00:24:20,779 later appearing on television shows Joe 548 00:24:25,029 --> 00:24:22,519 Nickell speculated Hickson might have 549 00:24:28,870 --> 00:24:25,039 fantasized the encounter with aliens 550 00:24:30,850 --> 00:24:28,880 during a hypnagogic waking dream state 551 00:24:32,010 --> 00:24:30,860 adding that Parker's corroboration of 552 00:24:34,660 --> 00:24:32,020 the tale was likely due to 553 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:34,670 suggestibility since he told police he 554 00:24:39,150 --> 00:24:37,010 had quote passed out at the beginning of 555 00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:39,160 the incident and failed to regain 556 00:24:44,980 --> 00:24:41,840 consciousness until it was over end 557 00:24:47,470 --> 00:24:44,990 quotes now
