Radio Network 4 00:00:13,009 --> 00:00:10,769 voice of the fringe majority this is 5 00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:13,019 Carole Karl with off the beaten path for 6 00:00:18,769 --> 00:00:15,929 the UFO heavenly news it's a weekend 7 00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:18,779 with skies to watch and so here's what 8 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:21,510 earth sky dot-org promises tonight and 9 00:00:26,509 --> 00:00:24,090 probably tomorrow night too but just a 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:26,519 slightly different version we get to 11 00:00:32,450 --> 00:00:29,250 talk about o fiocchis the 13th 12 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:32,460 constellation of the zodiac tonight look 13 00:00:37,610 --> 00:00:34,130 for the faint constellation Ophiuchus 14 00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:37,620 the serpent bearer from the northern 15 00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:40,230 hemisphere looks southward at mid to 16 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:42,870 late evening all the month of July from 17 00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:44,730 the southern hemisphere look about that 18 00:00:49,790 --> 00:00:47,129 same time but look directly over your 19 00:00:50,540 --> 00:00:49,800 heads from all parts of Earth in the 20 00:00:54,350 --> 00:00:50,550 month of July 21 00:00:58,010 --> 00:00:54,360 Ophiuchus oh let's spell that it's OPH I 22 00:01:00,860 --> 00:00:58,020 you see H us it's sometimes called the 23 00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:00,870 13th or the Forgotten constellation of 24 00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:03,510 the zodiac the Sun passes in front of 25 00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:05,970 Ophiuchus from about November 29th to 26 00:01:11,230 --> 00:01:09,119 December 17th and yet no one ever says 27 00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:11,240 they're born when the Sun is in 28 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:14,100 Ophiuchus astrologically speaking and 29 00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:15,890 that's because Ophiuchus is a 30 00:01:22,190 --> 00:01:18,960 constellation but not a sign of the 31 00:01:24,289 --> 00:01:22,200 zodiac so what's the difference well 32 00:01:27,950 --> 00:01:24,299 according to this article from earth sky 33 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:27,960 org put together by Bruce McClure the 12 34 00:01:33,649 --> 00:01:30,210 signs of the tropical zodiac represent 35 00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:33,659 equal 30-degree divisions of sky while 36 00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:36,270 the 13 constellations of the zodiac are 37 00:01:41,749 --> 00:01:39,180 of various sizes that's why for example 38 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:41,759 the Sun resides in front of each zodiac 39 00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:44,850 assign for a precise interval of about a 40 00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:47,280 month meanwhile the Sun is in front of 41 00:01:51,770 --> 00:01:49,350 the constellations for varying amounts 42 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:51,780 of time for example in front of the 43 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:54,090 constellation Virgo it's there for about 44 00:01:58,969 --> 00:01:56,490 1 and 1/2 months and in front of 45 00:02:01,639 --> 00:01:58,979 Scorpius that constellation for about a 46 00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:01,649 week the planet Saturn and the bright 47 00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:04,200 red star Antares in the constellation 48 00:02:09,109 --> 00:02:06,840 Scorpius the scorpion can help you find 49 00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:09,119 Ophiuchus in your night sky 50 00:02:13,490 --> 00:02:11,750 Saturn actually shines in front of 51 00:02:16,340 --> 00:02:13,500 Ophiuchus this year 52 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:16,350 meanwhile Ophiuchus is to the north of 53 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:20,010 that star antares Ophiuchus the serpent 54 00:02:25,370 --> 00:02:22,770 bearer on sky maps it's depicted as 55 00:02:27,170 --> 00:02:25,380 holding serpens the serpent which is 56 00:02:29,810 --> 00:02:27,180 considered a separate constellation 57 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:29,820 altogether according to ancient Greek 58 00:02:38,060 --> 00:02:33,450 star lore Ophiuchus is Asclepius and 59 00:02:40,340 --> 00:02:38,070 that's both ASC le p I us the physician 60 00:02:42,530 --> 00:02:40,350 who concocted a healing potion from the 61 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:42,540 Serpent's venom mixing it with the 62 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:45,930 Gorgons blood and some unknown herb this 63 00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:48,810 potion gave humans access to immortality 64 00:02:53,810 --> 00:02:50,910 until the god of the underworld appealed 65 00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:53,820 to Zeus to reconsider the ramifications 66 00:02:59,630 --> 00:02:56,640 of the death of death and here's an 67 00:03:02,180 --> 00:02:59,640 interesting fact even today that staff 68 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:02,190 of Asclepius the symbol of the world 69 00:03:07,250 --> 00:03:05,010 health organization pays tribute to the 70 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:07,260 constellation Ophiuchus the serpent 71 00:03:12,290 --> 00:03:10,170 bearer so here's that old bottom line in 72 00:03:15,170 --> 00:03:12,300 the form of a question will you see 73 00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:15,180 faint Ophiuchus that overlooked zodiacal 74 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:17,910 constellation tonight well go out there 75 00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:19,290 and give it a try 76 00:03:24,650 --> 00:03:21,930 and of course later here at UFO headline 77 00:03:26,870 --> 00:03:24,660 news calm you can head on over and check 78 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:26,880 out the wonderful charts and graphs that 79 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:29,010 always accompany the earth sky dot org 80 00:03:34,850 --> 00:03:32,850 articles they are glorious trying to 81 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:34,860 find some glory in this but we can only 82 00:03:41,150 --> 00:03:38,010 find the drama and some suspense here's 83 00:03:44,509 --> 00:03:41,160 the headline massive iceberg breaks off 84 00:03:47,150 --> 00:03:44,519 Antarctica well we can't say we didn't 85 00:03:49,370 --> 00:03:47,160 see this coming in fact I guess NASA saw 86 00:03:51,710 --> 00:03:49,380 it initially and here's this article 87 00:03:55,250 --> 00:03:51,720 from earth sky org with a byline for 88 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:55,260 Deborah bird an iceberg about the size 89 00:04:01,160 --> 00:03:57,810 of the United States state of Delaware 90 00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:01,170 split off from Antarctica's Larsen sea 91 00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:03,840 ice shelf sometime between July 10th and 92 00:04:08,750 --> 00:04:06,510 July 12th in recent days several 93 00:04:11,390 --> 00:04:08,760 satellites in Earth orbit and a British 94 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:11,400 Antarctic Research project all have 95 00:04:16,789 --> 00:04:14,250 witnessed the birth of a huge iceberg 96 00:04:19,039 --> 00:04:16,799 again about the size of the state of 97 00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:19,049 Delaware project Midas 98 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:21,209 that's an Antarctic research project 99 00:04:26,270 --> 00:04:23,490 based out of the United Kingdom was the 100 00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:26,280 first to report the breakage NASA's Aqua 101 00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:27,360 satellite 102 00:04:32,149 --> 00:04:29,520 captured the images and there are plenty 103 00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:32,159 of images for you to peruse later gentle 104 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:34,889 listeners at UFO headline news dot-com 105 00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:37,370 the new iceberg is no surprise 106 00:04:42,350 --> 00:04:39,360 scientists had been aware of and 107 00:04:45,529 --> 00:04:42,360 monitoring a growing crack in the Larsen 108 00:04:48,350 --> 00:04:45,539 Sea ice sheet for many years Larsen C is 109 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:48,360 a floating platform of glacial ice on 110 00:04:52,850 --> 00:04:50,090 the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula 111 00:04:54,770 --> 00:04:52,860 it's the fourth largest ice shelf 112 00:04:58,969 --> 00:04:54,780 ringing Earth's southernmost continent 113 00:05:01,490 --> 00:04:58,979 for decades until 2014 a crack had been 114 00:05:04,159 --> 00:05:01,500 slowly growing into the ice shelf and 115 00:05:07,159 --> 00:05:04,169 then suddenly it started to spread more 116 00:05:10,129 --> 00:05:07,169 rapidly northwards and the result is 117 00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:10,139 that new iceberg and here's the size of 118 00:05:15,559 --> 00:05:12,240 that new iceberg it's twenty two hundred 119 00:05:18,050 --> 00:05:15,569 and forty square miles 5,800 square 120 00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:18,060 kilometers it's a chunk of ice that 121 00:05:23,450 --> 00:05:21,449 simply broken away and so the Larsen sea 122 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:23,460 shelf area has shrunk by approximately 123 00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:26,639 10 percent Kelley brunt a glaciologist 124 00:05:31,219 --> 00:05:29,039 with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center 125 00:05:33,980 --> 00:05:31,229 in Greenbelt Maryland said in a 126 00:05:36,649 --> 00:05:33,990 statement from NASA quote the 127 00:05:39,230 --> 00:05:36,659 interesting thing is what happens next 128 00:05:42,019 --> 00:05:39,240 how will the remaining ice shelf respond 129 00:05:45,019 --> 00:05:42,029 will the ice shelf weaken or possibly 130 00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:45,029 collapse like its neighbors Larsen a and 131 00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:48,000 Larsen B will the glaciers behind the 132 00:05:53,180 --> 00:05:49,759 ice shelf accelerate and have a direct 133 00:05:56,300 --> 00:05:53,190 contribution to sea-level rise or is 134 00:05:59,540 --> 00:05:56,310 this just a normal calving event and 135 00:06:02,899 --> 00:05:59,550 quotes the calving as in a cow giving 136 00:06:05,659 --> 00:06:02,909 birth spelled C alv ing it's that 137 00:06:08,689 --> 00:06:05,669 geological term when breakage like this 138 00:06:11,649 --> 00:06:08,699 happens so we'll just have to wait and 139 00:06:14,779 --> 00:06:11,659 see maybe have your boots at the ready 140 00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:14,789 here's

in some spots but it was at least 275 00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:58,060 14 feet long we were both scared to 276 00:12:01,260 --> 00:11:58,450 death 277 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:01,270 she's now scared to

Lake Norman Mecklenburg County North 281 00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:12,700 Carolina see what else comes to the 282 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:14,830 surface since we're talking about 283 00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:17,890 critters of unknown origin this fits in 284 00:12:26,130 --> 00:12:20,950 right about here the oldest account of 285 00:12:29,250 --> 00:12:26,140 Bigfoot was recorded in 986 AD this is 286 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:29,260 from the Sasquatch Chronicles and here's 287 00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:31,930 what it says the oldest account was 288 00:12:38,820 --> 00:12:34,830 recorded by Leif Ericson and his man in 289 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:38,830 986 ad during their first landing in the 290 00:12:43,860 --> 00:12:41,290 new world the Norseman wrote about 291 00:12:47,370 --> 00:12:43,870 man-like beasts that were quote horribly 292 00:12:51,090 --> 00:12:47,380 ugly hairy swarthy and with great black 293 00:12:53,610 --> 00:12:51,100 eyes and quotes among his accounts Leif 294 00:12:56,580 --> 00:12:53,620 Ericson told of seeing huge hairy men 295 00:12:58,920 --> 00:12:56,590 who towered over him and his men the 296 00:13:01,830 --> 00:12:58,930 quote huge hairy men and quotes 297 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:01,840 according to Leif lived in the woods had 298 00:13:07,290 --> 00:13:04,650 a rank odor and a deafening shriek 299 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:07,300 according to this article from Sasquatch 300 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:10,210 chronicles which is uncredited it should 301 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:12,250 be noticed that Leif Ericson and his men 302 00:13:18,270 --> 00:13:15,010 described these man-like beasts loud 303 00:13:21,390 --> 00:13:18,280 foul-smelling as clearly distinct from 304 00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:21,400 native peoples apparently Leif Ericson 305 00:13:24,190 --> 00:13:21,710 had 306 00:13:26,110 --> 00:13:24,200 sightings of these huge hairy men before 307 00:13:26,590 --> 00:13:26,120 departing the island they called this 308 00:13:31,950 --> 00:13:26,600 creature 309 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:31,960 skell ring that spelled s ke ll r ing 310 00:13:37,630 --> 00:13:34,490 people believe that the creature scale 311 00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:37,640 ring is what we know today as Bigfoot 312 00:13:43,270 --> 00:13:40,160 this is the earliest recorded encounter 313 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:43,280 with Bigfoot or Sasquatch that Norse 314 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:45,890 word scale ring it's a term of contempt 315 00:13:51,340 --> 00:13:49,610 it means roughly a barbarian what is 316 00:13:53,530 --> 00:13:51,350 interesting is the word hairy 317 00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:53,540 the Norse were a hairy people themselves 318 00:13:58,630 --> 00:13:56,690 big men with matted hair and beards why 319 00:14:01,270 --> 00:13:58,640 did they remark on the scale ring being 320 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:01,280 hairy or was it because they were that 321 00:14:06,190 --> 00:14:04,370 much hairier than the Norseman well we 322 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:06,200 have to leave that part because we're 323 00:14:09,970 --> 00:14:08,090 going to track down now the first 324 00:14:12,250 --> 00:14:09,980 recorded sighting of Bigfoot in the 325 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:12,260 United States it's nearly as difficult 326 00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:14,210 according to this article as tracking 327 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:17,110 down that mythical hairy creature itself 328 00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:19,490 while most sources seem to agree that 329 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:21,710 the first credible evidence of Bigfoot 330 00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:24,170 in North America was discovered in 1811 331 00:14:29,770 --> 00:14:26,510 it happened near the town of Jasper 332 00:14:31,810 --> 00:14:29,780 Alberta Canada but nearly every serious 333 00:14:34,350 --> 00:14:31,820 Bigfoot researcher has his own or her 334 00:14:36,490 --> 00:14:34,360 own opinion as to when and where 335 00:14:39,130 --> 00:14:36,500 America's first documented Bigfoot 336 00:14:42,010 --> 00:14:39,140 sighting ever took place and even good 337 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:42,020 old Wikipedia isn't 100% clear on this 338 00:14:47,590 --> 00:14:45,050 matter according to wiki Bigfoot stories 339 00:14:50,350 --> 00:14:47,600 in America date back to 1840 when a 340 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:50,360 missionary named Elkanah Walker recorded 341 00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:52,490 stories of giants among the Native 342 00:14:58,810 --> 00:14:55,120 Americans living in Washington State in 343 00:15:02,260 --> 00:14:58,820 1847 Paul Kane recorded similar stories 344 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:02,270 about Skookum supernatural cannibalistic 345 00:15:08,230 --> 00:15:05,210 wild men living on Mount st. Helens 346 00:15:10,420 --> 00:15:08,240 of course since Walker and Kane only 347 00:15:13,030 --> 00:15:10,430 recorded oral legends these cannot be 348 00:15:15,970 --> 00:15:13,040 cited as actual Bigfoot sightings in 349 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:15,980 fact even that well-known sighting in 350 00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:19,490 1811 in Jasper Alberta cannot truly be 351 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:21,710 called a legitimate Bigfoot sighting a 352 00:15:27,220 --> 00:15:24,170 traitor named David Thompson merely 353 00:15:29,890 --> 00:15:27,230 found some strange 4-toed footprints in 354 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:29,900 the snow these prints measured 14 inches 355 00:15:34,930 --> 00:15:31,930 in length and eight inches in width 356 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:34,940 however David Thompson did not actually 357 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:37,370 see the creature which left those prints 358 00:15:43,150 --> 00:15:40,130 other early well publicized Bigfoot 359 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:43,160 sightings such as the 1884 capture of 360 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:46,130 Sasquatch in British Columbia later 361 00:15:50,380 --> 00:15:48,770 turned out to be hoaxes according to 362 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:50,390 some researchers the first documented 363 00:15:56,260 --> 00:15:52,370 incredible Bigfoot sighting in North 364 00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:56,270 America didn't occur until 1924 when a 365 00:16:00,730 --> 00:15:58,130 Canadian lumberjack Albert Ostman 366 00:16:03,460 --> 00:16:00,740 claimed to have been captured and held 367 00:16:06,580 --> 00:16:03,470 captive by a family of Bigfoots near 368 00:16:08,260 --> 00:16:06,590 British Columbia's Toba Inlet although 369 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:08,270 hundreds of Bigfoot sightings took place 370 00:16:12,820 --> 00:16:11,330 before 1924 Albert Ostman had the 371 00:16:14,830 --> 00:16:12,830 foresight to sign an official 372 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:14,840 declaration indicating that his story 373 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:17,570 was true under oath and by virtue of the 374 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:20,930 Canadian Evidence Act thereby cementing 375 00:16:27,340 --> 00:16:24,530 his legacy as one might imagine today's 376 00:16:29,770 --> 00:16:27,350 Internet has changed things up just a 377 00:16:32,590 --> 00:16:29,780 tad many sightings many accounts 378 00:16:35,170 --> 00:16:32,600 sometimes footage how to vet that how to 379 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:35,180 discern the real from the hoax that's 380 00:16:38,980 --> 00:16:37,250 hard but you don't have to worry about 381 00:16:42,430 --> 00:16:38,990 that too much there's an organization 382 00:16:46,210 --> 00:16:42,440 that sort of does that for you it's the 383 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:46,220 BFRO the Bigfoot research organization 384 00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:48,050 they've got history they have a 385 00:16:53,020 --> 00:16:50,720 geographical database of sightings and 386 00:16:55,210 --> 00:16:53,030 reports in fact here's what they say 387 00:16:57,550 --> 00:16:55,220 about themselves this comprehensive 388 00:17:00,160 --> 00:16:57,560 database of credible sightings and 389 00:17:02,230 --> 00:17:00,170 related reports is maintained by an 390 00:17:05,069 --> 00:17:02,240 all-volunteer network of Bigfoot 391 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:05,079 Sasquatch researchers archivists and 392 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:07,490 investigators in the United States and 393 00:17:11,949 --> 00:17:10,010 Canada if you have had a sighting in the 394 00:17:13,990 --> 00:17:11,959 United States Canada or any other 395 00:17:16,090 --> 00:17:14,000 country they ask you to please take a 396 00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:16,100 moment report it to their team of 397 00:17:20,590 --> 00:17:19,310 scientists so while we're here gentle 398 00:17:24,429 --> 00:17:20,600 listeners why don't we pick up a 399 00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:24,439 sighting reported to the F ro the year 400 00:17:34,450 --> 00:17:29,510 2017 season summer month June

Bridge State Nature 404 00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:41,300 Preserve the nearest town was Rock 405 00:17:48,270 --> 00:17:43,520 Bridge and the nearest road was number 406 00:17:50,790 --> 00:17:48,280 33 observed I stopped at an 407 00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:50,800 nature preserve to hike on my way and I 408 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:53,200 had passed at least 14 people in various 409 00:17:58,740 --> 00:17:56,050 ways on their way out I'd walk down 410 00:18:01,920 --> 00:17:58,750 across the bridge and I was looping back 411 00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:01,930 it was about 4:00 p.m. as I was rounding 412 00:18:08,190 --> 00:18:05,470 a bend I heard something big run away in 413 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:08,200 the woods I thought I'd scared a deer so 414 00:18:14,190 --> 00:18:11,290 I continued on this is when I rounded 415 00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:14,200 the bend and saw a print on the trail 416 00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:16,510 going in the opposite direction of what 417 00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:19,510 ever I heard scamper away the ground was 418 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:21,310 hard the print was only about a 419 00:18:26,220 --> 00:18:24,010 quarter-inch into the dirt there were no 420 00:18:29,310 --> 00:18:26,230 other people prints there was nothing on 421 00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:29,320 that trail so as I'm taking pictures 422 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:31,720 something crashes in the trees above me 423 00:18:36,210 --> 00:18:33,850 I covered my head waiting for a big 424 00:18:37,890 --> 00:18:36,220 branch to fall on me after that I 425 00:18:40,110 --> 00:18:37,900 hightailed it out of there 426 00:18:42,570 --> 00:18:40,120 I left passing another half a dozen 427 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:42,580 people on their way in as I made my way 428 00:18:49,020 --> 00:18:46,210 out I never expected nor was I looking 429 00:18:51,030 --> 00:18:49,030 for anything on such a populated path if 430 00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:51,040 it wasn't for the fact that I had heard 431 00:18:56,550 --> 00:18:53,710 something right before and right after I 432 00:18:59,880 --> 00:18:56,560 found that print I would have seriously 433 00:19:02,730 --> 00:18:59,890 leaned toward fake the time and
