Want Vintage NASA Space Photos? Sotheby's Can Help | WIRED
Apollo 12 pilot Alan Bean stands on the moon during the second lunar landing in November 1969. A Hasselblad camera is fixed to his chest, and mission commander Pete Conrad is crisply reflected on his helmet's visor, as Bean holds up a gleaming cylinder filled with lunar dust.
"I love the stuff, people love the stuff," says Cassandra Hatton, who started up space exploration auctions at Sotheby's three years ago. "Give the people what they want, you know?"
Jim Sullivan, a Rock 'n' Roll Mystery That Remains Stubbornly Unsolved - The New York Times
Jim Sullivan was the kind of California character who seemed to have stepped straight out of a Pynchon or DeLillo novel — a 6-foot-2 singer and songwriter known as Sully with a magnetic personality and a handlebar mustache. His dramatic psych-folk songs were spacious, cinematic and edged with mystic, lonesome brooding. His social circle included actors and Hollywood hangers-on, and he'd had brushes with fame, including an uncredited part in "Easy Rider" with his friend Dennis Hopper.
UFOs reported by Navy pilots, who tell New York Times they spotted unidentified
Some U.S. Navy pilots reported seeing unidentified flying objects while training over the East Coast in 2014 and 2015 in interviews with The New York Times . According to The Times, multiple Navy pilots spotted "strange objects" with "no visible engine" reaching 30,000 feet and going hypersonic speeds.
The Times report includes a minute-long video of two encounters Navy pilots allegedly had with unexplained aerial phenomena. In the videos, which include visual radar and voice recordings, pilots cannot distinguish what is seen on their radar screens. At one point one of the pilots says in amazement, "Look at that thing. It's rotating."

Why Have There Been So Many UFO Sightings Near Nuclear Facilities? - HISTORY
Why are so many UFOs being reported near nuclear facilities—and why isn’t there more urgency on the part of the government to assess their potential national-security threat?
Their investigations are the subject of HISTORY’s limited series “ Unidentified .”
Less known: In the last 75 years, high-ranking U.S. military and intelligence personnel have also reported UAPs near sites associated with nuclear power, weaponry and technology—from the early atomic-bomb development and test sites to active nuclear naval fleets.
Large fireball caught on camera streaking across South Florida sky
Whatever it was, residents across South Florida and the Treasure Coast took to social media early Wednesday morning to show photos and videos of a large fireball streaking across the sky.

"I don't know if it was a plane, or a comet, or a shooting star or what, but something came down out of the sky in a fireball," a man said in a 911 call to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
"It was the biggest thing I've ever seen in the sky," the 911 caller said. "It was like a ball, and then it separated into two parts. There was flames and sparkles all over the place."
These 5 UFO Traits, Seen by Navy Fighters, Defy Explanation - HISTORY
When Luis Elizondo ran a small team at the U.S. Department of Defense investigating military-based reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), he heard numerous such accounts—by some of the most highly trained aeronautic experts in the military. They describe objects that appeared to be intelligently controlled, possessing aerodynamic capabilities that far surpass any currently known aircraft technology.
Now pursuing his investigations as part of To the Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences, Elizondo is an integral part of the investigative team featured on HISTORY's “ Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation ," where they have continued to gather eyewitness accounts:
