Kelly Johnson/Santa Barbara Channel Case 1953

Kelly Johnson was known as one of the world's leading aircraft designers. He was in charge of designing the U-2 spy plane for the CIA. On December 16, 1953, a Lockhead WV2 aircraft was being flown by one of Johnson's test crews over Long Beach California, at the same time that Johnson & his wife were on the ground in Agoura, California.

Johnson, his wife, & the flight crew all spotted a UFO at almost the same time. Because the plane and Johnson's location were both known, the location of the unknown object could be triangulated exactly. The object spotted by the observers was a 200' long, black craft, similar to the Flying Wing of the United States Air Force. The UFO was seen for 6 to 7 minutes as it hovered over the Santa Barbara Channel.

The W-2B decided to get a closer look, and proceeded toward the UFO, which was about 15,000' altitude. All the while, Johnson was observing the UFO with his binoculars. He, along with the crew in flight, saw the UFO take off at a great speed. It headed out over the Pacific. It reached 90 miles altitude as it disappeared from view. Later, in Johnson's official report, he stated:

I am now more convinced than ever, that such devices exist, and I have some highly technical converts in this belief.

After looking over the case, the Air Force concluded that Johnson, his wife, and the airplane crew had seen a lenticular cloud.

Although the government thought that Johnson could not tell the difference between a cloud and a structured, flying object, they continued to employ him for many years to come, designing some of the most secretive, cutting edge planes of his era.

Bolwoningen

The bolwoningen (which interprets as either "ball" or "globule" houses/lofts) were planned in the late 1970s by eccentric craftsman and artist Dries Kreijkamp and worked in 1984. They impart many attributes to the significantly more well known by Piet Blom in Rotterdam – developed around the same time and imagined in a comparable soul. In any case, while Blom's Cube houses are only one more strange note in the engineering clamor of Rotterdam, the bolwoningen are genuine outsiders in their dull-as-ditchwater neighborhood of a medium sized town. Like their rakish urban cousins in Rotterdam, the bolwoningen remain off the ground on plinths – here barrels that look like sort stalks. On entering the front entryway set into one of these "stalks", you locate a little storage room and a staircase driving up into the globe above. The staircase spirals around the internal skin of the circle, driving first to the quaint little inn, past the restroom and latr

The Circle of the Dragon, Taotie

According to ancient Chinese legends, Taotie was one of the nine boys of the Dragon. He spent all the time in the kitchen, making delicious soups. Taotie once had a body, but the gods took the body of Taotie as a punishment for his extreme bitterness. Taotie's image warns against overload. Taotie symbolized greed and sensuality, and his image was often written in groceries specifically to remind people to avoid dragons of fame. The name of the taotie ("glutton"), which came into use from the 3rd century BC, was perhaps inspired by the fact that the monster is usually portrayed as an increasingly bitter animal. The function of the taotie motif is interpreted differently: it can be totemic, defensive, or an abstract, symbolic representation of the forces of nature. The motif was most common during the Shang Dynasties (XVII-XII century) and early Zhou (1111-900 BC). After the early Zhou period, the motif of the taotie mask shifted from a monster that was similar
