UFO With A Green Laser Shoots Across The City (video)

Image
Straight out of a Sci-fi movie with popcorn jammed in it’s mouth is this drone type craft hovering and flying over Milton Keynes in the UK. Hold on to your eyeballs because I’m taking them for a spin. Get a good look at this UFO – it’s a green laser for sure, but there’s a UFO near it, the green laser has a round ball on it’s upper part… That’s worth looking into. Take the fact that the eye witness states that this is a drone, it’s a funny way to describe what you think is a UFO, don’t you reckon? If I genuinely filmed what I believed to be a UFO then I’d call it a UFO! I don’t think id be calling it a drone. Unless it’s a smart way of getting away from the thing when it’s outed later on as a hoax? Some people ask me “what do they want, why are they here”? I have to say that I honestly think that they’ve been here for a while now and they are in all likelihood in a role of “just watching, observing, surveillance, recording, studying, watchibg and taking it all...

Luka Doncic injury update: Mavericks star questionable vs. Pistons on Monday due to sprained ankle

Recently-named All-Star starter Luka Doncic has been upgraded to questionable for the Dallas Mavericks' matchup with the Detroit Pistons on Monday, the team announced on Sunday. Doncic suffered a sprained ankle during the first quarter of the Mavericks' win over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, and missed the team's loss to the Utah Jazz on Saturday.  With just under nine minutes to play versus the Suns, Doncic tried to drive to the basket but was cut off by Cameron Johnson and had to spin back the other way. As he did so, he stepped right on Mikal Bridges' foot and awkwardly rolled his left ankle . He immediately winced in pain and hobbled back down the floor. After Torrey Craig hit a 3-pointer, the Mavericks called a timeout to get Doncic out of the Game .  Luka went back to the locker room with an apparent ankle injury . pic.twitter.com/zHz5XBVawO — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) ...

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Fans Discover You Can Steal The Fisherman's Hat

This year, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time turns 25, and you might think that a Game that old is all out of surprises. However, it looks like it still has a trick or two up its sleeve for players to discover. One such trick is making the rounds lately, and it involves everyone’s favorite Hylian nabbing some new headgear. ResetEra user Uzumaki Goku has discovered that it is not only fish Link can catch when he visits the fishing pond. Players can take the fishing rod and cast it at the man behind the counter, ripping his hat off his balding head. You can then run around with the hat attached to the fishing pole, as the man shouts, “What are you doing?!”. Related: Why Did No One Tell Me The Original Legend Of Zelda Is A Bullet Hell? THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Sadly, Link can only run around with the hat and not actually wear it. Although you can cast the rod into the pond a few times with the fisherman's hat still attached, it will e...

Ben Simmons leaves Nets' loss to Pistons with zero points, knee soreness, and at least one frustrated coach

The Brooklyn Nets suffered a surprising 130-122 loss to the lowly Detroit Pistons on Thursday night, and have now lost six of their last eight games to fall to 29-19 on the season, which puts them in a tie with the Cleveland Cavaliers for fourth place in the Eastern Conference.  Head coach Jacque Vaughn seemed to be fed up after the Game when discussing his players' preparation and performance.  "The expectations, what we always talk about, was to win this basketball game," Vaughn said. "The people who suited up, the people who played, the people who stepped on the floor had an opportunity to impact the basketball game for their teammates. That's the objective every single time we step on the floor. We were expecting to win tonight, that's the goal.  "Whether it's a back-to-back -- I remember four in five nights, three in four, four in six, doesn't matter. you do what'...

Suns trade rumors: Phoenix starting to plan for post-Chris Paul future, reportedly eyeing point guards

Chris Paul led the Phoenix Suns to within two wins of the NBA championship in 2021, but things haven't gone as planned since. Phoenix suffered an embarrassing second-round Game 7 home loss at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks last season. Now they're hovering around .500 with Paul posting career-lows in scoring (13.7 points per game) as well as most value metrics. Phoenix acquired Paul hoping for an immediate push. Two years later, his window appears to be closing. Paul is now 37 years old. Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson and DeAndre Ayton are all between the ages of 24 and 26. This is still a fairly young team with one older cornerstone, and now that the Suns have seemingly slipped out of the immediate championship picture, they are justifiably considering what life after Paul will look like. According to Marc Stein, the Suns have started to assess their post-Paul future, and as such, are eye...

India's Adani Group shares plunge, hit by short-seller

India's Adani Group has protested allegations by short-selling firm Hindenburg Research that caused shares in its companies to plunge by as much as 8% NEW DELHI -- India’s Adani Group vehemently objected Wednesday to allegations by short-selling firm Hindenburg Research that caused shares in its companies to plunge by as much as 8.1%.

Business es in the conglomerate span industries including construction, data transmission, media, renewable energy, defense manufacturing and agriculture. Adani made a vast fortune mining coal as energy hungry India grew swiftly after its economy was liberalized in the 1990s. The market value of his companies has soared in recent years, one of the reasons Hindenburg said it judged the seven key Adani listed companies to have an “85% downside, purely on a fundamental basis owing ...

Extreme Israeli group takes root in US with fundraising bid

An Israeli group raising funds for Jewish extremists convicted in some of the country’s most notorious hate crimes is collecting tax-exempt donations from Americans JERUSALEM -- An Israeli group raising funds for Jewish extremists convicted in some of the country’s most notorious hate crimes is collecting tax-exempt donations from Americans, according to findings by The Associated Press and the Israeli investigative platform Shomrim. The records in the case suggest that Israel’s far right is gaining a new foothold in the United States. The amount of money raised through a U.S. nonprofit is not known. But the AP and Shomrim have documented the money trail from New Jersey to imprisoned Israeli radicals who include Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's assassin and people convicted in deadly attacks on Palestinians. This overseas fundraising arrangement has made it easier for the Israeli group, Shlom Asiraich, to collect money from Americans, who can make their contributions through the U.S....

Rep. George Santos, who's facing calls to resign over a string of lies about his background, is denying reports that he performed as a drag queen years ago in Brazil. Embattled Rep. George Santos, who has aligned himself with far-right Republicans who have pushed anti-LGBTQ policies, has denied reports that he performed as a drag queen years ago in Brazil. "The most recent obsession from the media claiming that I am a drag Queen or 'performed' as a drag Queen is categorically false," Santos, who's facing calls to resign over a string of lies and exaggerations about his background, wrote on Twitter Thursday. "The media continues to make outrageous claims about my life while I am working to deliver results." On Saturday, ABC News' New York City station WABC and other outlets questioned Santos as he walked through LaGuardia Airport. The congressman avoided most questions but did briefly comment on the reports he performed as a drag queen in Br...

Virginia, Amazon announce $35 billion data center plan

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin says the state has reached a deal with Amazon Web Services for the company to invest $35 billion in new data centers ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- Amazon Web Services plans to invest $35 billion in new data center s in Virginia under a deal with the state, Gov. Glenn Youngkin announce d Friday. Millions of dollars in incentives to close the deal still require legislative approval, but General Assembly leaders in both parties expressed support in a news release issued by Youngkin’s office.

Data center s house the computer servers and hardware required to support modern internet use, and demand continues to increase. But the data center s require high-powered fans and extensive cooling capacity that can generate noise. They also consume huge amounts of electric...
