Published 11 years, 1 month ago
Description
THE TITLE of this week's show is a reference to a wonderful exchange between a clothing designer and a host on the QVC shopping channel about whether the Moon is a planet or a star.
Of course, it's neither, but it led to a discussion of a panic 60 years ago when the U.S. government frantically searched for two "natural" satellites that appeared on radar, orbiting the equator at 400 miles and 600 miles above the Earth.We believe the UFO phenomenon is real, but it's not what UFO true believers think it is.
Also: Elon Musk plans global satellite broadband; John Kerry brings James Taylor to France; Project Gladio; more American soldiers (and weapons) for Iraq; Russia uses Gazprom to threaten Ukraine and EU, while moving to absorb South Ossetia from Georgia; Thailand recognizes third gender in its new constitution; U.S. Supreme Court to rule on homosexual marriage; George Soros finances Ferguson protests; and ISIS continues to gain territory despite hundreds of Western air strikes.
