When Flesh and Blood Fell from
the Sky
Incidents of blood and
flesh falling from the sky have been recorded throughout
history, from all over the world.
Three of these events occured in North Carolina and 34yrs
later in Sampson County and in Chatham County.
On the 15th of February
1850, the first incident of flesh fall was recorded.
Flesh and blood fell on the farm of Thomas Clarkson.
A description of this
event can be found in the North Carolinian newspaper
published in Fayetevil. It describes them as being pieces
of flesh, liver, brains and blood. The blood appeared to
be fresh.
Witnesses stated observing
a cloud overhead, having a red appearance, nothing else.
The materials were
examined with two of the best microscopes of that time
and it was determined that the samples being examined
were indeed flesh and blood, but from who or what it was
unknown.
On February 25th, 1884,
the second fall of flesh occurred. This time it happened
on another farm owned by Mrs. Kit lasater and her husband.
This time the sky was clear.
A doctor examined the
saturated area and said it was blood. Also, a respected
and probably the moste qualified man in the state to
examine the material, also declared that is was indeed
blood. Exactly what kind of blood remained unknown.
How flesh and blood could
fall from the sky in the days before powered flight will
for always remain a mystery.
Once In A
Thousand Year Event Captured On Film
An astronomer from the
University of Arizona in Tucson and four Brazilian
amateur astronomers last month observed an event not
witnessd from Earth in more that a thousand year, if ever. The observation was made
from Brazil's east coast, 100km N. of Recife.
This event was visible in
the night sky of the southern Atlantic Ocean. An no other
place on earth was this event visble in the sky.
The image above shows the
moon together with Venus and Jupiter at the top. The
image at the lower left is with a telephoto lens. The
image at the lower right was taken an hour earlier. Venus
is above the moon at the lower left.
Astronomers believe that
the last time an event of this nature occurred was around
the morning of August 18, A.D. 567, and visible from the
NW corner of the Indian Ocean.
Its is believed that it
may be possible that noone saw it at that time. Only a
few people saw it this year, since most of them were
asleep. Darn! Darn! Darn!

Antisocial Personality Disorder
The February issue of the
"Archives of General Psychiatry" has found
evidence suggesting a relation between a structural
deficit in the brain with antisocial personality disorder.
This condition if often diagnosed in people convicted of
criminal acts.
The study was done comparing the
prefrontal brain mass area of a control group against the
prefrontal brain mass of 21 volunteers diagnosed with
antisocial personality disorder.
The results indicated a possible link to this structural
deficit. Still , doctors were quick to say that caution
against attributing all inappropriate social behavior to
brain injury or deseases should be taken.

Awakening From 16 Years in Near-Coma
(LA TIMES) Thursday, February 3, 2000
Mrs. Bull lay in a coma, her eyes open,
but not recognizing anything. Then, without warning, she
awoke from her 16 year long deep sleep on December 21st.
She ordered the nurse, who was adjusting the blankets on
her bed, not to do what she was doing.
Mrs Bull, is a member of the Cochiti Pueblo tribe, and
will need plenty of rehabilitation. Combing her hair,
brushing her teeth and learning to eat again will be a
challenge to her.
It is a rare occurrence and so unusual that not too many
studies have been done on what to do when someone comes
out of a years-long coma.
Mrs. Bull's four childern, including her 16yr old, Mark
Jr., were at her bedside as soon as they learned she was
awake.
She's watched the Sunday's Super Bowl game between the St.
Louis Rams and the Tennessee Titans. She was rooting for
the Titans.
Huge Sapphire
Found in SRI Lanka
February 17, 2000
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP)
A 3.3 pound stone is being tested to
establish if it is the world's largest blue sapphire.
Gemologists say that its' physical appearance suggests
that it is a blue sapphire, but they need to do more
tests to certify it.
The gem was found in a mine in Pelmadulla, 75 miles east
of Colombo two weeks ago. This area is known for
producing other large sapphires including the "Star
of India".
If test results are positive, this will be the largest
sapphire in the world.
