Details are hazy this many years later, but vague outlines remain. It was sometime in the mid-1950s when a friend of my parents was driving along West Virginiaâs Route 2 north of Wheeling late one night. The two-lane road runs parallel to the Ohio River and, back then, featured several dark and deserted stretches.
The man was cruising along one such stretch when bright disc-shaped object flew in front of the car, floated along above the highway before darting away toward the river.
I recall many hushed conversations among my parents and their friends about the incident. Since everyone agreed this guy was not some crackpot, no one seemed to know what to think. Then there was this postscript. Several curious people who went to the spot of the encounter the next day insisted they found marks where the asphalt had been singed by something.

“The dark clouds of protectionism” gathering over the air travel industry in Europe and the United States pose a significant threat to the millions of travelers who have benefitted from new choice in the market, said Etihad Airways President and Chief Executive Officer James Hogan, in a keynote speech in London today.
Addressing the Aviation Club, Mr Hogan said international regulators should recognise that, “investing in success is not a crime; blocking competition would be.” He was speaking the week after European and US carriers again attacked Etihad Airways’ rapid growth of the last decade.
Over 140 anomalies documented by the military were found to be inconclusive, according to the long-anticipated âUFO report,â yet the research has only just begun.
The preliminary assessment of âUnidentified Aerial Phenomena,â or UAP, was released on June 25 by the nationâs top intelligence official. It comes after rare bipartisan support in the Senate led to the creation of the Department of Defense Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, or UAPTF, which prepared the assessment.
Nick Suntzeff, an observational astronomer and professor at Texas A&M, weighed in on the findings of the report and the need for further professional, publicly-funded study of UAP.
