They want to believe. Man thinks he saw Giant UFO while in airliner over Nevada desert.
Some imaginative fellow was on an airplane flying over Nevada when he was sure he saw a giant UFO below the airplane. It was massive and giving off extremely bright lights. The guy must have thought Earth was under alien attack.
He took some photos below:
The “I want to believe” UFO community was abuzz when they saw the photos. Maybe some real evidence that the little green bastards do exist! But then a skeptic pointed out that the sighting was almost 99.999 percent a solar energy facility in the desert.
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a concentrated solar thermal plant in the California Mojave Desert, 64 km (40 miles) southwest of Las Vegas, with a gross capacity of 392 megawatts (MW). It deploys 173,500 heliostats, each with two mirrors, focusing solar energy on boilers located on three centralized solar power towers. Unit 1 of the project was connected to the grid in September 2013 in an initial sync testing. The facility formally opened on February 13, 2014, and it is currently the world’s largest solar thermal power station.
There are ten huge Solar Generating facilities in the Mojave Desert. The airplane passenger should have done some research before he came to a UFO conclusion.

‘FLESH GORDON,’ THE ‘SPACE AGE SEX SPOOF’ OF THE SEVENTIES THAT’S ‘OUT OF THIS WORLD’
On the far distant planet of Porno, Emperor Wang the Perverted has his sex ray pointed at Earth and every time he shoots the damned thing everyone goes plum sex-mad crazy. People are fucking in the street. Orgies are piling up everywhere. No one is safe. And the cry goes up, “Is there a hero out there who can save us?”
Too right there is. Name’s Flesh Gordon—who is somehow unaffected by Wang’s porny ray.
That’s just the opener for Michael Benveniste and Howard Ziehm’s schlocky sexploitation flick Flesh Gordon from 1974. If you are cognizant with the original 1930’s Universal serials or have seen the big screen version of Flash Gordon, then you’ll know just exactly how the story goes in this “outrageous parody of yesterday’s superheroes.”
Flesh (Jason Williams) teams up with a young woman called Dale Ardor (Suzanne Fields) and a scientist Dr. Flexi Jerkoff (Joseph Hudgins), who just happens to have a rocket ship ready to blast off to beat the evil Wang (William Dennis Hunt). This unlikely trio zoom off into space, land on Porno, and combat Wang and his band of “raping robots.” Along the way, they encounter Prince Precious (Mycle Brandy) the rightful king of Porno and his band of merry men, Queen Amora (Nora Wieternik), and the Great God Porno—a Ray Harryhausen-type monster voiced by none other than Craig T. Nelson. Thrills, comedy, and sex ensue.
The storyline for Flesh Gordon was so close to the original that Universal Studios at one point actively considered suing the filmmakers for blatant copyright infringement. Benveniste and Ziehm avoided this calamity by simply stating that their film was intended as an “homage” to the original source material. They also had all the advertising material labeled with the caveat that their movie was “Not to be confused with the original Flash Gordon.”

America’s Strangest and Weirdest Conventions
During 2013, 2014 and 2015, American photographer Arthur Drooker went to a dozen conventions across the country, photographing some of the quirkiest gatherings such as mermaids, clowns, Santas, fetishists and Lincoln look-alikes. Yet, he has barely begun. According to one estimate, America holds a staggering 1.2 million conventions, conferences, and trade shows every year. That’s nearly 3,000 gatherings every day! These unusual gatherings allow like-minded people to congregate, bond, and express themselves.
“Regardless of what they’re about, where they’re held or who attends them, all conventions satisfy a basic human urge: a longing for belonging,” says Arthur Drooker. “At conventions, people who share similar interests, even obsessions, come together to bond and to be themselves without fear, apology or explanation. The outside world doesn’t matter. In fact, for the weekend duration of most conventions, the outside world doesn’t even exist.”

The 37th ‘Vent Haven Convention bills itself as ‘the oldest and largest annual gathering of ventriloquists’ This one in Cincinnati.

Unknown Racist American History
The history of the United States is complex and very diverse. Many movements and associations came and continue today. Some stayed and became prominent institutions, others faded away. One that faded away, thankfully, was the German American Bund.
The German American Bund or German American Federation (German: Amerikadeutscher Bund) was an American Nazi organization established in the 1930s. Its main goal was to promote a favorable view of Nazi Germany.
Bund march Manhattan 1939
In December 1935 Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess ordered all German citizens leave the Friends of New Germany (FOTNG), while also recalling all the group’s leaders to Germany. In March 1936, the German American Bund (AV) was established as a follow-up organisation for the FOTNG in Buffalo, New York. It elected a German-born American citizen Fritz Julius Kuhn, a veteran of the Bavarian infantry during World War I.

The Bund was one of several German-American heritage groups; however, it was one of the few to express National Socialist ideals. As a result, many considered the group anti-American. In the last week of December 1942, led by journalist Dorothy Thompson, fifty leading German-Americans including Babe Ruth signed a “Christmas Declaration by men and women of German ancestry” condemning Nazism, which appeared in ten major American daily newspapers. In 1939, a New York tax investigation determined Kuhn had embezzled money from the Bund. The Bund operated on the theory that the leader’s powers were absolute, and therefore did not seek prosecution. However, in an attempt to cripple the Bund, the New York district attorney prosecuted Kuhn. New Bund leaders would replace Kuhn, most notably with Wilhelm Kunze, but these were only brief stints. Martin Dies and the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) were very active in denying any Nazi-sympathetic organization the ability to freely operate during World War II.
No, this is not Berlin. Rally in Madison Square Garden 1939.
No, this is not Nuremberg. This is Chicago 1936. A Nazi youth rally.
These evil people that in the 1940’s fried victims in burn chamber factories by the hundreds of thousands, and used gas to kill people in hellhole concrete pigpens, after they were forced to stand naked not really knowing what was coming next.
These are the nazi bastards that Trump said were not totally responsible for the Charolettsville chaos. The German nazis slaughtered millions of innocent civilians because they wanted it their way. Lebersraum! People not of their ilk were subhuman. To be exterminated.
This is the same mindset that these American freaks, the KKK, neo-nazis and white supremacists adhere to. Trump has never read a history book, let alone any book. This is why he doesn’t see the true evil these groups represent. He is a dangerous ignoramus. This bastard has to be impeached.
A little bit of commentary
The only reason for an American to hold a nazi flag is if it was captured in battle.
