A mysterious object spotted along Gezon Parkway in West Michigan last Friday has left residents baffled. Numerous people reported seeing the large, dark, triangular object hovering over the Byron Center-Wyoming area, catching enough attention to become a hot topic on local social media. Witnesses described the object as “huge” and “strange,” hanging motionless in the sky. Credit: FOX 17 WXMI “It didn’t look like any drone or aircraft I’ve ever seen,” said Melissa Balinski, who was among the many onlookers. Some speculated that it might be a giant kite, though no confirmation has been made. One resident, Aron Adamczyk, recalled observing the object with friends for a full 15 minutes from The Pines Golf Course, yet none could identify what they were witnessing. Despite the volume of sightings, the Kent County Sheriff’s Office confirmed this week that it hadn’t received any formal reports of an unusual aerial object. Social media lit up in West Michigan after hundreds reported seeing a large and mysterious black object floating above the Wyoming and Byron Center area. https://t.co/kZkWHzbjVN — FOX 17 (@FOX17) November 12, 2024 The post Unidentified Triangular Object Spotted Hovering Over West Michigan appeared first on Anomalien.com.

Netflix recently released a new documentary series on UFOs, Investigation Alien, produced by British ufologist George Knapp, known for revealing leaked UFO videos from the U.S. military, and fellow ufologist Jeremy Corbell. In the fourth episode, the series features an exclusive, brief clip of a UFO in the form of a glowing sphere diving into the English Channel, captured by Knapp and his team during a field investigation. According to Knapp, the sighting was purely accidental. While they were working off the coast of Normandy one evening, a bright orb appeared in the sky, about 200 meters away. The sphere vanished but reappeared about an hour later, then slowly descended and submerged into the water, which began to glow where it entered. At that time, most of the team was asleep, except for a night watchman who managed to capture the orb’s descent underwater on video. Knapp narrated over the footage: “”A willy peter flare is the only thing I know like that that will hang up in the air, but that’s not a flare, because there’s no smoke going off of it,’ the archaeologist says, admitting he has no real answers – at least ones that involve human technology.” Knapp suggested that this area of the English Channel might conceal an underwater UFO base. “You think it’s got a base down there?” Knapp asks his colleague. “It could be. It could be,” he says. The post Filmmakers Accidentally Capture Glowing Sphere Submerging Underwater appeared first on Anomalien.com.

Tuesday night, I hosted and moderated a forum for Republican senators, giving my colleagues a chance to hear from each of the three candidates running to replace Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). After hearing from each candidate, I’ve decided to support Rick Scott (R-Fla.). Here are my takeaways.As I’ve been saying for months, the Senate is supposed to be “the world’s greatest deliberative body,” but it has ceased to function as such in recent years, as majority leaders from both political parties have consolidated power at the expense of nearly every other senator.Rick Scott has consistently called out abuses of the Senate GOP leader position in the past — even when it was difficult and at times politically costly to him.Senators are supposed to have ample opportunity to debate, discuss, and amend important legislation, and the Senate rules offer important procedural protections to ensure such outcomes. Those rules have been short-circuited by leaders of both parties, empowering what I sometimes describe (in the current configuration of Congress) as “the law firm of Schumer, McConnell, Johnson, and Jeffries,” or simply “the Firm.”The Firm’s vast power is good for the Firm and its members — and for a handful of lobbyists and staffers who serve as its acolytes — but it’s bad for the Senate as a whole — and especially bad for the American people.For that reason, I’ve been calling on those running to become the next Senate GOP leader to agree to a series of reforms designed to restore rules, customs, and practices that in the past helped earn the Senate the (currently inaccurate) title of “the world’s greatest deliberative body.”While I personally like all three leadership candidates and consider them friends — and while each offers a unique set of skills, experience, and plans that could prove useful to the Senate and the American people — Rick Scott stands out as the most aggressively reform-minded candidate.Rick Scott offers the most specific, aggressive plan for restoring the Senate’s most time-honored traditions, rooted in its rules. And he’s embraced many of these reforms — which have been reflected in his votes and advocacy within the conference — since long before this race began.Scott has offered concrete plans for 1) protecting each senator’s ability to call up amendments and make them pending, 2) reforming the (currently barbaric) way in which the Senate passes spending bills, in which most senators have literally no meaningful opportunity to amend — or even read and debate — spending bills negotiated in secret by the Firm, and 3) otherwise ensuring that the Senate GOP leader will work for those who elect him, not the other way around.Scott’s approach is also the most closely aligned with and focused on helping President Trump enact his legislative agenda, which is supported by more than 75 million American voters.With this in mind, I wholeheartedly endorse Rick Scott and respectfully urge my colleagues — particularly those who agree that bold reforms are badly needed — to do the same.All three candidates offered helpful perspectives on how our conference should operate, and I found the entire discussion refreshing and productive. But Scott’s approach stands out, and that’s why I’ll be casting my vote for him.Rick Scott has consistently called out abuses of the Senate GOP leader position in the past — even when it was difficult and at times politically costly to him. This is yet another reason to support him.Editor’s note: This article appeared originally as a thread on X (formerly Twitter).

Whether it’s Civilization 6, Cities Skylines 2, or even Stellaris, I expect economic management in strategy games to be difficult - I want some level of real-world accuracy, and I can only imagine that organizing the finances of an entire city, star fleet, or planet is pretty tricky.
