RIP Ray Healey.

That's a name that will mean nothing to most of you (if not all), but should be remembered as a great man.

Seriously, how is this a shock to anyone?

maybe I'm missing something here. I am told by my news reader that there is a huge internet hubub about a UFO over the dome of the rock.

Always one to investigate, not believe, I am ready to know.

So I read the article. Then I watched the video. Then I was disappointed.

One video shows the thing stop up for about 15 seconds. The other for maybe 5. BLATANT HOAX. What's the problem here?

oh yeah. humans.
