Did Howard Hughes View a Captured UFO and Its Occupants?

By Bill l

Did Howard Hughes ever get a chance to view a captured or crashed UFO and its occupants? I have long pondered this question and there may now be an answer to it. According to a former employee of Hughes Aircraft, he did. The visit allegedly occurred not long after the crash of an alien spacecraft near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. You may think this story belongs in the BELIEVE OR NOT file and you may be right, but I feel compelled to pass it on to you anyway.

The Assessment of Alex Cross

The movie Alex Cross is now out in theaters, as those who have an interest in James Patterson novels and adaptations are probably well aware.

There was a fear that Perry would not be able to bring that same gravitas to the character.

There's A Saint For Everything [Infographic]

Saints are not just for the Bible anymore. Sure, we've all heard of some saints such as Benedict, Patrick, and Joan of Arc. Those saints, and others, are immortalized through legend and lore. There are, however, other saints that watch over many of us without the same recognition.

Take St. Roch, for example. St. Roch was an orphan who traveled to Rome during the Bubonic Plague. While caring for plague victims, he became ill with the plague. He fled the town to die alone where he was cared for by a stray dog. St. Roch survived with the help of the dog. Now, St. Roch is immortalized as the patron saint of dogs and knee problems.

Juvenile delinquents have St. Dominic Savio, a sickly young priest, who died as a teenager, watching over them.

Even the Internet has a patron saint. St. Isidore of Seville, an encyclopedia writer from a family of saints, focused on sharing information with the world.

Greening Our Urban Spaces: 10 Tips for Eco-Friendly Cities [Infographic]

Looking around an urban landscape, you can see that recycling at home is just the start of making our cities sustainable. From the cars and public transit filling the streets to the usable spaces atop the buildings, the concrete jungle of a city offers a wealth of opportunities for eco-friendly efforts.

City residents can start by reducing their consumption, recycling, and using environmentally-friendly transportation like electric cars and mass transit systems on alternative fuels. Other practices involve more of the community, like using building tops for urban farming or greening.

The architecture of a city itself can be designed around green living. Good practices start with the sustainability of the construction materials themselves. Urban buildings made with biomaterials and incorporating green spaces can help the population feel more interactively involved with the environment around them. More advanced eco-technology like "Smart Cities" can further help us plan green cities. In short, we have many wonderful green ways to improve our cities.
