After a bombshell report detailing near-daily interactions with unidentified flying objects by Navy pilots in 2014 and 2015, Christopher Mellon has argued that this information is nothing new, and the government needs to do something about it.
Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, is involved with a new History Channel series, 'Unidentified,' which will expand on topics discussed in a recent New York Times article. In numerous interviews, Navy pilots revealed that they saw UFOs moving at hypersonic speeds, performing acts “beyond the physical limits of a human crew,” and emitting "no visible engine or infrared exhaust plumes."
In a Wednesday morning interview with "Fox & Friends," Mellon, who has written extensively on the topic before, outlined the reasons the Navy is concerned about these sightings.
National Geographic: Lasers reveal Maya war ruins Archaeologists discover ancient fortifications that evoke a “palpable sense of fear.” Far from being the peaceful farmers and priests they were once believed to be, the Maya fought bitter wars that culminated in bloody sacrifices.

SyFy.com / AN AMATEUR ASTRONOMER HAS DISCOVERED A NEARBY GALAXY! The faint galaxy Donatiello I seen in a small telescope (left) shows it near the very bright star Mirach; the same field as the inset box using the 10.4 meter Gran Telescopio Canarias.
Take, for example, the case of Donatiello I. It's what astronomers call a dwarf spheroidal galaxy, which is pretty much what the name implies: It's a small, kinda sorta round galaxy. These types of galaxies are notoriously faint, and difficult to spot even at modest distances. Quite a few are known near and around the Milky Way and a few other very close galaxies. The problem with finding them, though, is a well-known paradox of professional astronomy: The big telescopes needed in general to see these faint fuzzies usually have a narrow field of view, making it a stroke of luck to find one.
Donatiello I is just such a beast, so faint that it would be incredibly easy to overlook even in deep images taken by meter-class telescopes. And that's why this story is so cool. Donatiello I is named for Giuseppe Donatiello, the amateur astronomer who discovered it.
Military Times: To many Americans, Memorial Day has lost its meaning By: Michael Rubinkam | May 28, 2017
While millions of Americans celebrate the long Memorial Day weekend as the unofficial start of summer — think beaches and backyard barbecues, mattress sales and sporting events — some veterans and loved ones of fallen military members wish the holiday that honors more than 1 million people who died serving their country would command more respect. Or at least awareness.
