'Giant Squid'
February 15, 2000
Deep down in the waters of
Tasmania, a few of these monsters were found. The giant
squid have been discovered caught in the nets of trawlers.
This type of Squid can grow to 20 metres in length and
weigh a quarter of a ton when fully grown.
Scientist at the Museum of Tasmania are currently
studying them. It is now clear that many of the stories
that sailors of long ago told about giant squid attacking
ships or whales may have been true.
Noone really knows what lurks deep beneath our oceans. It
is only by accident that we discover them and everything
else for that matter.
Sonic 'boom'

Ledger-Enquirer Online
One saturday at around 5:30pm , the
residents of Chattahoochee Valley experienced a sonic
boom that rattled the windows. Residents and authorities
haven't a clue as to what caused it. It was felt as far
away as 10 miles.
A meteor, UFO, and even an earthquake have been suggested
as the possible reason. Noone really knows what happened.
One resident did see a black object with trailing smoke
streak across the sky just before the boom.
Muscogee County Emergency Management, Georgia Emergency
Management Director Riley Land, and Fort Benning
officials all said they were "stumped."

Asteroid 'No
Threat'
Tuesday February 8
The Los Angeles Associated Press anounced that
astronomers, after reviewing new data, stated that an
asteroid initially thought to be on a possible collision
course with Earth in 2022 will miss the planet by
millions of miles.
Reports of Earth-threatening asteriods have been proved
wrong at least five times in the last two years. Many
scientists are worried that the public may become
desensitized to the warnings.
James Scotti, who discovered the asteroid last month at
Kitt Peak National Observatory stated, "Someday, we're
going to find something that will have a 1 in 1,000 or 1
in 100 chance of impacting Earth, and when that happens,
I'd rather us be taken seriously.''
It wasn't until Monday, when Scotti found out about the
rock's possible trajectory, when Italian researcher
Andrea Milani posted a warning on the internet and asked
other astronomers to track it.
A day later, Milani stated the the new data indicated
that the asteroid, named 2000 BF19, would come no closer
than 3 1/2 million miles over the next 50 years.
Be that as it may, it comes closer to Earth than the Sun
and almost as close as the Moon.
Borley House in Essex.
The spookiest
house on earth
It is told that one of the most haunted houses in Europe
was the Borley House in Essex in the south of England and
it seems that over a period of nearly a century very
strange things have happened at this place. It it also
told that different witnesses and people who had lived in
the house have reported about lots of ghostly phenomenas
like things that moved without being touched from someone,
words and messages that appear and disappear on walls, (for
example the sentence „Get help.To die unrepentant
bothers me...) stones, bricks and other things that
appear, fly trough the air and hit people, unexplainable
music and noises at night, self-starting fires and very
cold rooms (without any explanation for the reason of the
coldness) and much more so-called poltergeist phenomena.
Frightening ghostly beings also appeared at night like a
nun, a monk, a young girl, a headless man and a choach
without a coachman.
