That's it for this week! See you on Monday, when we'll look at a story that might be UFO-related. Or might not. It's one of those strange tales that's hard to categorize. In the meantime, here's, uh, this.
I'd never heard of that massive fire in B.C. I can understand the policy of letting woods burn, but that obviously was the wrong decision in this case. It just kept burning. I also had not heard of that civilisation in Spain from thousands of years ago. What fascinates me is that so many cultures in pre-history had interaction with each other. It just wasn't recorded at the time (at least not the way we record things.) And the unsuccessful suicide from the Empire State Building is astounding. I hope the woman went on to better things.
