1 00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:02,480 it's the weekend of Saturday October 7th 2 00:00:08,030 --> 00:00:05,790 and Sunday October 8th 2017 you are 3 00:00:10,610 --> 00:00:08,040 listening to Inception Radio Network 4 00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:10,620 voice of the fringe majority this is 5 00:00:15,799 --> 00:00:13,040 Carole Karl they're off the beaten path 6 00:00:18,290 --> 00:00:15,809 let's check out our sky for the weekend 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:18,300 it's something new it's the Draconids 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:20,850 well they're new every year at least 9 00:00:26,089 --> 00:00:23,490 tonight the fiery mouth of the 10 00:00:28,609 --> 00:00:26,099 constellation Draco the dragon will be 11 00:00:31,580 --> 00:00:28,619 spitting out meteors also known as 12 00:00:33,139 --> 00:00:31,590 shooting stars the draconian shower is 13 00:00:35,870 --> 00:00:33,149 predicted to produce the greatest 14 00:00:38,420 --> 00:00:35,880 numbers of meteors on the evening not 15 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:38,430 after midnight the evening of October 16 00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:41,730 7th or 8th the shower favors the 17 00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:44,879 northern hemisphere just be forewarned 18 00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:47,129 even at northerly latitudes the 19 00:00:51,529 --> 00:00:49,350 Draconids are typically a very modest 20 00:00:54,410 --> 00:00:51,539 shower perhaps only a handful of 21 00:00:57,709 --> 00:00:54,420 slow-moving meteors per hour but watch 22 00:00:59,299 --> 00:00:57,719 out if that dragon awakes the der 23 00:01:03,910 --> 00:00:59,309 counted meteor shower produced some 24 00:01:06,620 --> 00:01:03,920 awesome meteor displays in 1933 and 1946 25 00:01:09,649 --> 00:01:06,630 thousands of meteors per hour were seen 26 00:01:12,350 --> 00:01:09,659 in those years six years ago in October 27 00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:12,360 of 2011 people around the globe saw an 28 00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:14,369 elevated number of jerk haunted meteors 29 00:01:19,850 --> 00:01:16,920 despite that bright moon playing out 30 00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:19,860 that night European observers saw over 31 00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:23,310 600 meteors per hour in that year 2011 32 00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:26,430 as far as we know nobody's calling for 33 00:01:30,530 --> 00:01:28,080 the Draco Ned meteor shower to burst 34 00:01:32,420 --> 00:01:30,540 into a storm this year but you never 35 00:01:34,429 --> 00:01:32,430 know for sure with the Draconids 36 00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:34,439 according to Deborah bird who writes 37 00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:36,960 this for Earth's sky so it's worth 38 00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:39,180 watching out for on those evenings 39 00:01:43,660 --> 00:01:41,820 tonight and tomorrow night as well just 40 00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:43,670 know that the meteor showers are 41 00:01:48,859 --> 00:01:46,560 notorious for defying predictions they 42 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:48,869 either surpass or fall shy of 43 00:01:53,420 --> 00:01:51,090 expectation the only way to know for 44 00:01:55,730 --> 00:01:53,430 sure is to try to go out there and watch 45 00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:55,740 the shower weather conditions permitting 46 00:02:01,100 --> 00:01:58,320 of course it says right here luckily 47 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:01,110 watching the shower is lots of fun even 48 00:02:05,660 --> 00:02:02,850 if you only get to see a few meteors 49 00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:05,670 just plan to spend an hour or more under 50 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:08,220 a dark and open sky try lying down with 51 00:02:13,220 --> 00:02:11,610 your feet pointing northward most meteor 52 00:02:15,050 --> 00:02:13,230 showers are best after 53 00:02:16,490 --> 00:02:15,060 but this shower is different it's best 54 00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:16,500 viewed in the evening hours 55 00:02:20,930 --> 00:02:18,720 watch for the drew counted meteors first 56 00:02:23,180 --> 00:02:20,940 thing at nightfall or before the break 57 00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:23,190 two waning gibbous moon rises in your 58 00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:24,319 sky 59 00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:26,400 unfortunately that recent full the 60 00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:28,470 Harvest Moon that happened on the fifth 61 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:31,440 technically still looks full today means 62 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:33,330 the moon will come up at early evening 63 00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:34,410 tonight for the northern hemisphere 64 00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:36,900 locations there'll be a chart available 65 00:02:41,150 --> 00:02:39,120 later at UFO headline news calm 66 00:02:44,059 --> 00:02:41,160 splaine's it all for you with the 67 00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:44,069 where's and what's of it most meteor 68 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:45,750 showers are named for the constellation 69 00:02:50,690 --> 00:02:47,970 from which the meteors radiate in the 70 00:02:53,630 --> 00:02:50,700 skies dome the draconians however are 71 00:02:58,759 --> 00:02:53,640 sometimes also called the Jacobins 72 00:03:00,380 --> 00:02:58,769 spelled g IA co bi n ids to honor the 73 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:00,390 man who first sighted the comet that 74 00:03:05,509 --> 00:03:03,450 spawned this meteor shower enter Michael 75 00:03:08,839 --> 00:03:05,519 Jacoby nee he discovered this comic 76 00:03:13,550 --> 00:03:08,849 December 20th 1900 and other sighting in 77 00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:13,560 1913 added the names inner Zi n n er to 78 00:03:19,210 --> 00:03:17,519 that of the comet so it's now to 1p 79 00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:19,220 Jacoby nee Zinner 80 00:03:24,289 --> 00:03:22,049 Jacobi knees inner is a periodic comet 81 00:03:27,410 --> 00:03:24,299 which returns every six years and four 82 00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:27,420 months tracking this comet and noting 83 00:03:31,490 --> 00:03:29,519 this October meteor shower helped 84 00:03:34,819 --> 00:03:31,500 astronomers figure out how to predict 85 00:03:37,099 --> 00:03:34,829 meteor showers back in 1915 it's very 86 00:03:40,099 --> 00:03:37,109 cool the folks at earth sky dot-org have 87 00:03:43,220 --> 00:03:40,109 added a taste of history related to this 88 00:03:45,979 --> 00:03:43,230 shower you can go to a link to the 89 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:45,989 astronomy abstract service that's part 90 00:03:50,539 --> 00:03:48,450 of the Smithsonian and NASA and if you 91 00:03:54,110 --> 00:03:50,549 want to know more you can actually read 92 00:03:56,750 --> 00:03:54,120 an article dated 1934 it's called the 93 00:04:01,009 --> 00:03:56,760 meteors from Jacobi knees comet written 94 00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:01,019 by CC Wiley spell wyl ie it's a 95 00:04:07,430 --> 00:04:03,840 fascinating account of the famous 1933 96 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:07,440 meteor storm so now to end let's 97 00:04:12,349 --> 00:04:09,120 consider the great to crown ageia 98 00:04:15,349 --> 00:04:12,359 cabinet meteor storms of 33 and 46 and 99 00:04:19,610 --> 00:04:15,359 out of 2011 when observers in Europe saw 100 00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:19,620 over 600 draconian meteors per hour why 101 00:04:24,380 --> 00:04:22,320 was that meteor shower so good in 2011 102 00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:24,390 and why do we see more meteors some 103 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:25,360 years than 104 00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:28,090 others well here's an answer the answer 105 00:04:33,899 --> 00:04:30,639 is that comet Jacob any sinner was at 106 00:04:36,929 --> 00:04:33,909 perihelion closest to the Sun in 2011 107 00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:36,939 meteors are debris from comets so when 108 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:38,560 the parent comet is nearby 109 00:04:43,499 --> 00:04:41,289 a good meteor shower is possible it 110 00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:43,509 doesn't always happen though when this 111 00:04:48,899 --> 00:04:46,479 comet returned in 1998 and the Draconids 112 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:48,909 did pick up that year only then to a 113 00:04:52,529 --> 00:04:51,490 rate of about a hundred per hour so 114 00:04:53,999 --> 00:04:52,539 there you have it 115 00:04:56,939 --> 00:04:54,009 meteor showers are part of nature 116 00:04:58,980 --> 00:04:56,949 they're not entirely predictable 117 00:05:01,649 --> 00:04:58,990 under normal conditions when astronomers 118 00:05:03,570 --> 00:05:01,659 speak of a meteor shower peaking it's 119 00:05:06,179 --> 00:05:03,580 similar to a weather forecaster saying 120 00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:06,189 the heaviest rain snow is predicted for 121 00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:06,969 9 p.m. 122 00:05:12,149 --> 00:05:09,520 well that prediction isn't a certainty 123 00:05:14,459 --> 00:05:12,159 it's more like an educated guess or it 124 00:05:16,260 --> 00:05:14,469 might not come to pass or it might 125 00:05:19,559 --> 00:05:16,270 happen for you but not for people across 126 00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:19,569 town it's a good analogy to the 2011 to 127 00:05:24,179 --> 00:05:21,550 conan's which were seen best over europe 128 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:24,189 but less well for example over North 129 00:05:30,450 --> 00:05:27,370 America so over here comes ye old bottom 130 00:05:32,730 --> 00:05:30,460 line in 2017 the Dre counted meteor 131 00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:32,740 shower also called the Geo Covenants 132 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:35,199 will probably be at its best on the 133 00:05:40,589 --> 00:05:38,289 evening of October 7th or 8th no need to 134 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:40,599 wait until after midnight the radiance 135 00:05:45,629 --> 00:05:43,330 is highest in the evening hours now one 136 00:05:48,749 --> 00:05:45,639 expected Draconids storm this year but 137 00:05:50,579 --> 00:05:48,759 it's fun to watch and see clouded opt 138 00:05:53,850 --> 00:05:50,589 for the der comments didn't see a thing 139 00:05:54,689 --> 00:05:53,860 no worries the meteor season is just 140 00:05:56,879 --> 00:05:54,699 beginning 141 00:05:59,969 --> 00:05:56,889 heads up gentle listeners we couldn't 142 00:06:02,490 --> 00:05:59,979 not do this story but well we'll read it 143 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:02,500 and let you make up your own minds about 144 00:06:08,850 --> 00:06:05,289 it here's the headline man claiming to 145 00:06:12,420 --> 00:06:08,860 be from the Year 2048 says he's back 146 00:06:14,779 --> 00:06:12,430 with a dire warning Nina go Gauss key 147 00:06:17,579 --> 00:06:14,789 wrote this for the Huffington Post a 148 00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:17,589 wyoming man accused of public 149 00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:20,710 intoxication allegedly told police he 150 00:06:26,570 --> 00:06:23,529 traveled from the year 2048 to warn 151 00:06:30,029 --> 00:06:26,580 mankind of an impending invasion by 152 00:06:32,129 --> 00:06:30,039 extraterrestrials bryant johnson issued 153 00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:32,139 his grave warning to casper police 154 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:34,300 Monday night after officers were called 155 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:36,490 about the man and his out-of-this-world 156 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:37,650 message 157 00:06:42,140 --> 00:06:39,090 that's according to an arrest report 158 00:06:44,930 --> 00:06:42,150 obtained by The Huffington Post Johnson 159 00:06:46,820 --> 00:06:44,940 who police said smelled of alcohol spoke 160 00:06:49,310 --> 00:06:46,830 with slightly slurred speech and 161 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:49,320 allegedly told officers that quote the 162 00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:51,690 aliens were coming next year and we need 163 00:06:56,510 --> 00:06:53,759 to make sure to leave as fast as 164 00:06:58,700 --> 00:06:56,520 possible and quotes according to the 165 00:07:01,879 --> 00:06:58,710 report he didn't specify an exact date 166 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:01,889 or a time for the alien arrival he 167 00:07:06,529 --> 00:07:03,570 refused to speak with nurses or doctors 168 00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:06,539 and instead insisted on meeting with 169 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:08,910 quote the president end quotes of the 170 00:07:13,790 --> 00:07:12,210 town police said Johnson informed the 171 00:07:16,550 --> 00:07:13,800 officers that he was able to travel 172 00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:16,560 through time because the aliens filled 173 00:07:22,310 --> 00:07:19,680 his body with alcohol he also claimed he 174 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:22,320 stood on a giant pad which then 175 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:24,810 transported him to the year 2017 176 00:07:29,980 --> 00:07:27,210 although he said he was supposed to be 177 00:07:32,420 --> 00:07:29,990 sent to the year 2018 oops 178 00:07:36,230 --> 00:07:32,430 Johnson who was allegedly found with a 179 00:07:38,089 --> 00:07:36,240 blood alcohol content of point 1 3 6 was 180 00:07:39,499 --> 00:07:38,099 eventually transported to the Natrona 181 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:39,509 County Detention Center 182 00:07:44,779 --> 00:07:42,210 without further incident and Ninagawa 183 00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:44,789 key rights of course the joke could be 184 00:07:50,089 --> 00:07:47,360 on us when this all turns out to be true 185 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:50,099 hmm don't hold your breath 186 00:07:57,020 --> 00:07:53,570 here's a little curiosity that term 187 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:57,030 space-time continuum well from whence 188 00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:57,810 cometh 189 00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:00,240 so we sleuth around we found something 190 00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:03,840 called the sci-fi Stack Exchange dot-com 191 00:08:09,620 --> 00:08:06,449 and here's how the question is put at 192 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:09,630 that site which fictional work first 193 00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:12,210 used the term space-time continuum and 194 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:15,840 the answer someone said I would expect 195 00:08:20,330 --> 00:08:18,210 it's the post Einstein but probably not 196 00:08:23,330 --> 00:08:20,340 by to much and of course there are the 197 00:08:25,490 --> 00:08:23,340 allusions to Star Trek etc someone else 198 00:08:27,649 --> 00:08:25,500 points out it's a physics term that most 199 00:08:29,750 --> 00:08:27,659 certainly was used in physics papers 200 00:08:31,730 --> 00:08:29,760 before science fiction and this 201 00:08:34,670 --> 00:08:31,740 contributor posts a link to the 202 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:34,680 Wikipedia entry for that someone else 203 00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:36,930 posts a link used in non fictional 204 00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:40,529 context appearing to be a 1921 review of 205 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:42,719 an article which was written by Einstein 206 00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:46,170 in 1920 but here's the explanation we 207 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:47,040 like the best 208 00:08:51,290 --> 00:08:49,170 it seems the earliest use of that full 209 00:08:55,070 --> 00:08:51,300 term space-time continuum 210 00:08:58,220 --> 00:08:55,080 was in 1930-something published by HP 211 00:08:58,970 --> 00:08:58,230 Lovecraft of all people his story the 212 00:09:01,430 --> 00:08:58,980 Whisperer 213 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:01,440 in the darkness it was first published 214 00:09:08,210 --> 00:09:05,490 in Weird Tales August 1931 here's the 215 00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:08,220 passage the blasphemy is which appeared 216 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:10,529 on earth it was hinted came from the 217 00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:13,050 dark planet Gaea goth at the rim of the 218 00:09:18,199 --> 00:09:15,899 solar system but this was merely itself 219 00:09:20,750 --> 00:09:18,209 the populous outpost of a frightful 220 00:09:23,150 --> 00:09:20,760 interstellar race whose ultimate source 221 00:09:26,329 --> 00:09:23,160 must lie far outside even the 222 00:09:29,630 --> 00:09:26,339 Einsteinian space-time continuum or the 223 00:09:31,970 --> 00:09:29,640 greatest known cosmos but wait there's 224 00:09:34,190 --> 00:09:31,980 more there are other instances with 225 00:09:37,130 --> 00:09:34,200 Lovecraft using that term in stories 226 00:09:39,889 --> 00:09:37,140 from the same era from the mountains of 227 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:39,899 madness written in 1931 but not 228 00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:41,970 published till 1936 229 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:44,640 here's what we find Lovecraft writing 230 00:09:49,699 --> 00:09:47,130 the old ones but for their abnormal 231 00:09:52,850 --> 00:09:49,709 toughness and peculiar vital properties 232 00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:52,860 or strictly material and must have had 233 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:55,110 their absolute origin within the known 234 00:10:00,230 --> 00:09:57,810 space-time continuum whereas the first 235 00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:00,240 sources of the other beings can only be 236 00:10:05,540 --> 00:10:03,510 guessed at with bated breath there is 237 00:10:07,370 --> 00:10:05,550 yet more we'll post a link for you 238 00:10:08,540

quote insofar as one 341 00:14:27,740 --> 00:14:24,620 can tell it's a blurry image and quotes 342 00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:27,750 now quote red foxes are not supposed to 343 00:14:32,660 --> 00:14:29,670 be in Tasmania but they are widespread 344 00:14:34,610 --> 00:14:32,670 in southern Australia and have evidently 345 00:14:37,340 --> 00:14:34,620 been reported on rare occasions from

and the footage is too 352 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:50,250 blurry to distant to make out what this 353 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:53,130 animal is some also pointed out that the 354 00:14:57,350 -->

in the wild and 385 00:16:19,990 --> 00:16:17,370 over the years there have been many 386 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:20,000 unconfirmed sightings lots of footage 387 00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:22,530
