Economic headlines can make investors feel like they need to react immediately. A consumer sentiment index "crashes." Unemployment claims "spike." The market reacts. But what do these economic indicators actually mean for your portfolio? In this episode of PIVOT with Darryl Lyons, Darryl explains how to interpret economic indicators without letting dramatic headlines drive emotional investment decisions. Using the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey as an example, he walks through how investors can follow the "breadcrumbs" from an economic reading to the broader economy and ultimately to the markets. Darryl also uses the story of Hansel and Gretel and the concept of the Five Whys to explain why individual economic indicators should be viewed in context rather than in isolation. Some indicators may provide meaningful insight into the economy, while others may be little more than temporary noise. Most importantly, Darryl explains why investors should learn to "get in front of their future selves" by preparing for market ups and downs before emotions take over. You'll learn: ● How economic indicators influence investment markets ● Why financial headlines often create unnecessary fear ● How to interpret the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey ● What the Five Whys can teach investors about economic data ● Why one economic indicator rarely tells the whole story ● How to distinguish meaningful signals from market noise ● Why taking a long term perspective can help investors avoid emotional decisions Whether you're a longtime investor or simply trying to better understand the economic headlines you see every day, this episode offers a framework for putting economic data into perspective and making more informed financial decisions.

A drug said to turn victims into compliant “zombies,” some of the strangest true crime cases ever recorded, the bizarre history of chastity belts, the terrifying legend of Baba Yaga, and the mysterious Oera Linda manuscript.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/ZombieCrimesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckk7x3vFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: It's nickname is “Columbian Devil's Breath” – and it's so powerful it can turn perfectly healthy people into mindless zombies. We'll look at the dangerous and deadly drug, Burundanga. (A Drug That Creates Zombies) *** The chastity belt has, through the ages, become more of a humorous analogy or punchline than the real thing. But then, that's appropriate – seeing as it actually began as a middle-ages joke. (The Strange Truth Behind Chastity Belts) *** A fearsome witch, she is said to kidnap, roast, and eat children in the woods. No – this is not the story of Hansel and Gretel. This witch is much more terrifying – she is the Baba Yaga. (The Legend of Baba Yaga) *** The Oera Linda book is a manuscript written in a form of Old Frisian, purporting to cover historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity, from 2194 BC to 803 AD. Many are fascinated by what it says others claim it is a hoax or forgery. What is the truth behind the Oera Linda? (What Is The Oera Linda?)

Dean Gets Zapped Back to Puberty in Supernatural's "About a Boy"Welcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor pour their way through Season 10, Episode 12 of Supernatural, "About a Boy," a case where a string of disappearances keeps ending the same way: a flash of light and an abandoned hex bag. It's the show's usual setup, watch the episode, drink along with their homemade rules, and see how fast the count climbs when Dean ends up in over his head chasing whatever's behind it.Krissy and Nate argue over how many hex bags they each caught, second-guess the wardrobe logic once things get weird, and debate whether the young actors hold up. Take a drink every time someone says "Hansel," and get ready to double up the second Dean discovers Taylor Swift.They close with a quick, good-natured verdict on whether this one had too many rules, plus a look at what's next. These notes stay premise-level, but the full discussion gets into spoiler territory, so watch "About a Boy" first if you want to go in fresh.TruStory FM | Membership (early, ad-free access + bonus content): Join | Socials: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | Learn more about the hosts: Neighborhood Comedy TheatreIf you were building the drinking game for this one, what's the rule you'd add that we missed? ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

Wenn ein US-Cloud-Anbieter morgens den Stecker zieht – steht Europa dann am Nachmittag still? Was vor zwei Jahren noch nach Szenariotechnik klang, ist heute belegt. Office 365 wurde Mitarbeitern des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs abgeschaltet, Microsoft musste vor dem französischen Senat einräumen, Daten unter US-Recht teilen zu müssen. Cloud Souveränität ist damit endgültig auf der Vorstandsebene angekommen. Im TechTalk erklärt Dr. Christine Knackfuss-Nikolic, die erste Chief Sovereignty Officer der T-Systems, warum Souveränität eine strategische Geschäftsentscheidung ist und keine Compliance-Übung. Sie zeigt, wie Unternehmen ihre Workloads nach Risikoprofil klassifizieren, weshalb Multi-Cloud mit unterschiedlichen geopolitischen Hintergründen die typische Antwort wird und welche drei Risikoszenarien – Daten- und IP-Verlust, Vendor-Lock-in, Kill-Switch – heute auf jede Agenda gehören. Warum Sicherheit der unterschätzte Standortvorteil Deutschlands ist, was Abhängigkeitsasymmetrien für die IT-Strategie bedeuten und weshalb das eigene 90/60/30-Cloud-Setup der T-Systems das beste Argument gegen Schwarz-Weiß-Denken liefert – hören Sie in dieser Episode. Jetzt reinhören und verstehen, wie aus Cloud-Souveränität ein echter Wettbewerbsvorteil wird.

We're off to the deep dark woods for some fairytale carnage in “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters”. A film in which two former Bond girls knock the shit out of each other; Hawkeye learns not all witches are bad by accidentally sticking his willy in one; and Peter Stormare glowers to little effect. Tommy Wirkola's first English language film after the success of “Dead Snow” is a bit of a mixed bag; feeling at times like it's an adaptation from a comic book you haven't read. It's concept is great, what became of the titular siblings when they grew up, and adds into that action and a sort of steampunk tech melded to a fairy tale landscape. More an action adventure with horror tropes, but as a pure switch the brain off knock about it does the job well. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.
The Planets Series begins with our closest and most intimate neighbour: the moon. The moon represents the dreaming mind, our instinctive life and our guidance system to the emotional waves of our turbulent lives. Each of these elements of the moon is explored in this episode with the help of three mythic figures:Selene as a personification of the moon riding her white cow through the sky, visiting her lover Endymion (one who finds himself within) in his cave as he dreams the eternal dream.Artemis as the wild, instinctual life that stays true to her nature and close to her essence. and Hekate, the triple goddess, who has her home in the underworld. It's Hekate who arrives in our most desperate times of need to accompany us in the realm of grief and loss. The second half of the podcast begins with the image of Grimm's Hansel staring longingly back at his home as he's taken into the woods by his step-mother to be abandoned. He drops white stones on the ground that are then lit up by the moonlight to guide him back home. From there we visit Mnemosyne's cellular memory, the thread-weavers and the way Ithaka pulls at Odysseus.The Gorgons, including Medusa, will help us relate to the moments we feel unrelatable. There are many links between Medusa, the ocean and the moon. Including the Orphics calling the moon's face the Gorgoneion.And finally Rilke with some soul-soothing words in his poem 'You Come and Go'.Cover Art: Endymion : Effet de lune, ou Le Sommeil d'Endymion (The Sleep of Endymion), Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson, 1791.I leant heavily on Gods of the Greeks, Carl Kerenyi, 1951Very thankful to Brian Clark, Melanie Reinhart, Travis Elliot and Milena Kadziela for their help in the creation of this podcast.For my German audience...

Escalar un negocio en Amazon no siempre depende de vender más, sino de elegir correctamente cómo se van a entregar esos productos al cliente. En los últimos años, la logística se convirtió en uno de los factores más determinantes para la rentabilidad de un e-commerce, especialmente para vendedores que buscan crecer sin construir infraestructura propia. En este contexto, soluciones como Amazon Easy Ship están cambiando la forma en que los emprendedores operan dentro de la plataforma. Hansel Zapiain, con más de 16 años de experiencia en estrategia y logística y actual Head of External Fulfillment Growth en Amazon México, explica cómo este sistema permite escalar operaciones de forma más simple y eficiente. Easy Ship nace como una alternativa para vendedores que quieren aprovechar la red logística de Amazon sin enviar su inventario a los centros de fulfillment. El modelo es directo: el vendedor mantiene sus productos donde quiera, y cuando se genera una venta, se encarga de empaquetar y etiquetar el pedido, mientras Amazon gestiona la recolección y la entrega al cliente final. Según Hansel, "Easy Ship le permite a un vendedor aprovechar toda la cadena de suministro y toda la red logística de Amazon, sin necesidad de tener que enviar su inventario a ningún centro logístico". Este enfoque reduce barreras operativas y permite a más vendedores acceder a entregas rápidas sin grandes inversiones iniciales. El sistema se estructura en cuatro pilares fundamentales: precios competitivos, entregas rápidas, automatización del proceso y la posibilidad de ofrecer envíos gratuitos al cliente final. Estos elementos no solo mejoran la experiencia del comprador, sino que también ayudan a los vendedores a mantenerse competitivos dentro de un marketplace donde la velocidad de entrega es un factor clave de conversión. Una de las comparaciones más frecuentes es con Amazon FBA, el sistema tradicional donde el inventario se almacena directamente en los centros logísticos de Amazon. Hansel cuenta que la principal diferencia está en la gestión del stock. Mientras FBA centraliza el almacenamiento, Easy Ship permite que el vendedor conserve el control de su inventario. Sin embargo, ambos sistemas comparten la misma cobertura nacional y están diseñados para integrarse dentro del ecosistema de Amazon. En términos de costos, también existen diferencias importantes. Con FBA, el vendedor asume costos de almacenamiento y posibles tarifas adicionales por retiro de inventario. En cambio, en Easy Ship el esquema se basa principalmente en los fees de venta y envío, donde incluso el costo logístico puede ser compartido con el cliente dependiendo del valor del producto. Esta estructura hace que cada modelo sea más adecuado según el tipo de negocio, la rotación del inventario y la estrategia de crecimiento. Aunque FBA tiene la ventaja de ofrecer entregas ultrarrápidas, incluso en el mismo día en ciertas zonas, Easy Ship se apoya en la operación del propio vendedor para procesar los pedidos. A primera vista podrían parecer sistemas en competencia, pero en realidad son complementarios. La elección no es absoluta, sino estratégica, dependiendo del nivel de control, inversión y escalabilidad que busca cada vendedor dentro de Amazon. Otro aspecto clave es que Easy Ship no está limitado a un tipo específico de producto. "Todas las categorías tienen productos que pueden ser beneficiados con la ayuda de Easy Ship", lo que abre la puerta a una gran variedad de vendedores que buscan optimizar su logística sin perder flexibilidad operativa. Este modelo permite que tanto negocios pequeños como marcas en crecimiento puedan mejorar su eficiencia sin depender completamente de infraestructura externa. En esencia, la verdadera ventaja de Easy Ship no está solo en la logística, sino en la posibilidad de escalar sin complejidad. Para muchos vendedores, el mayor obstáculo no es vender, sino cumplir consistentemente con la promesa de entrega. Al integrar la red de Amazon sin renunciar al control del inventario, este sistema se convierte en una herramienta clave para quienes buscan crecer dentro del ecosistema de forma más ligera, eficiente y adaptable.

In this episode, we are talking about one of the most important biomes, boreal forests! And to lead us in this conversation, we are speaking with forest ecologist, Dr. Jennifer Baltzer to introduce us to this amazing terrestrial biome! Jennifer is a professor of biology at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Canada. She is also the Canada Research Chair in Forests and Global Change at Wilfrid Laurier, which is a research program focusing on the impacts of climate change resulting in wildfire intensification and permafrost thaw on boreal forest ecosystems. This was a fascinating conversation, and Jennifer covers some of the most interesting aspects of boreal forests and all the challenges they are coming up against in the face of rapidly changing climates. This ecosystem is so diverse and is one of the biggest carbon storehouses on the planet. Go to a Boreal Forest or Hemi-Boreal if you can! They are magical. And you'll be entering into one of the most important terrestrial biomes that exists on the planet. And when you walk on parts of this magical forest floor, you'll bounce. And you may even see Hansel & Gretel. Lots of Love.

In this powerful new Nerdy Bitz: TL;DL titled “The Stepmom Trap,” The Reverend Tracy takes a deep dive into one of the most unfairly judged roles in modern family dynamics: the stepmother. Long before a stepmom even has the opportunity to build trust, bond with children, or find her place within a family, society often hands her a villain label wrapped in centuries of cultural baggage.Using the evolution of Hansel and Gretel as a striking example, The Reverend Tracy explores how the original versions of the fairy tale featured the children's biological mother as the parent responsible for abandoning them. Over time, however, later retellings transformed that mother into the now-infamous “evil stepmother,” helping cement one of the most enduring stereotypes in storytelling. From fairy tales to sitcoms to modern social media narratives, stepmothers have repeatedly been portrayed as cold, manipulative, jealous, or dangerous — and The Reverend Tracy examines how deeply those narratives still influence real families today.This episode also explores psychological and sociological studies surrounding blended families, including how unclear roles and unrealistic expectations can create emotional tension for everyone involved. Unlike biological parents, step parents often enter family systems without clearly defined boundaries, authority, or emotional security. The Reverend Tracy discusses how many stepmothers are expected to provide emotional labor, caregiving, and support while simultaneously being criticized for “trying too hard” or accused of overstepping. It's a no-win situation that leaves many step parents feeling isolated, hyper-analyzed, and emotionally exhausted.The Reverend Tracy also tackles the painful reality that genuine love and care from a step parent is often viewed through a lens of suspicion. Whether it's affection being questioned, discipline being scrutinized, or emotional closeness being treated as somehow artificial, step parents frequently face social distrust that biological parents rarely encounter. This episode unpacks the emotional toll of constantly being treated as temporary, secondary, or potentially harmful — even while showing up every day for the children they love.Blending personal insight, cultural analysis, psychology, and storytelling, “The Stepmom Trap” challenges listeners to rethink the stereotypes we casually accept and the damage those assumptions can cause inside blended families. It's an empathetic, thought-provoking conversation about family roles, emotional labor, identity, and the complicated realities of building connection in spaces where trust is often hardest to earn.Support Friends Talking Nerdy on Patreon.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Kristen Hansel. delivers a reflection on Mother's Day
David Hansel explains why small bay industrial real estate is growing in demand and how his team creates value through short term leases and operational improvements. He shares a clear look at how this strategy works and why they focus on shorter hold periods.
Sergio Pérez entrevista al director de esta película de terror psicológico en el que los gritos aterradores nocturnos son el detonante del conflicto.
James Scott describes Curtis LeMay as a pragmatic, "hardscrabble" problem-solver who put himself through college by working nights in a steel mill. Replacing Hansel after only 44 days, LeMay realizes that high-altitude bombing is an "unsolvable equation" given the weather variables. He revamps maintenance, embraces radar, and demonstrates a ruthless focus on results, such as bypassing bureaucracy to pay native tribes in opium for the rescue of downed airmen. The sources also detail the American development of napalm, which was tested on a mock Japanese village in the Utah desert. This village, built with authentic tatami mats and sliding doors, was repeatedly burned to determine how best to exploit Japan's "Achilles heel": its dense wooden architecture. War planners identified specific "incendiary zones" in cities like Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka that were highly susceptible to fire, providing LeMay with the data needed to transition from pinpoint strategic targets to mass urban destruction. 3/81943 LEMAY
James Scott introduces General Haywood Hansel, an intellectual strategist tasked with using the expensive and "buggy" B-29 Superfortress to destroy Japan's industrial capacity in late 1944. Hansel is a pioneer of high-altitude daylight strategic bombing, a theory suggesting that precision strikes on refineries and bridges can collapse a modern economy like a "house of cards." However, the European campaign proved this strategy was often a long, painful slog rather than a quick fix. Hansel faces immense pressure from General Hap Arnold, the commander of the Army Air Forces, who is desperate to prove air power can be an independent, war-winning arm. Arnold, suffering from multiple heart attacks due to the stress of competing with the Army and Navy, views the war against Japan as a "blank canvas" for the Air Force. Consequently, Hansel is expected to bomb Japan out of the war to avoid a catastrophic ground invasion. 1/81945 OPPENHEIMER AND GROVES
In this special tribute episode, we honor the life and legacy of a dear friend and unforgettable member of the Club Med family, Hansel Moss. I first met Hansel in 1996 on San Salvador Island, where his energy, spirit, and presence left an immediate impression. Like so many who crossed his path, I was lucky to call him a friend. To celebrate his life, I connected with six people who worked alongside Hansel during those incredible Club Med years. In no particular order, I had the privilege of speaking with Chris “Hammer” Keeley, Jenner Jensen, Cheez Jensen, Angie Boucher, LP Leblanc-Boucher, and Benoit Collard. Together, we share stories, laughter, and memories that capture who he truly was, both on stage and behind the scenes. This episode is more than a look back; it's a tribute to a life that brought people together, created lasting friendships, and left a mark that won't ever be forgotten.

Episode Overview In the third instalment of our series on famine and revolution, we pull away the veil of headline numbers to investigate the visceral, human reality of the Great Hunger in Ireland. This is an exploration of a land filling with desperation, where the brutal biological mechanics of what happens when the human body begins to consume itself take centre stage. We examine the fate of a terrified people, facing ruin triggered by a disease that wreaked havoc on already weak economies. From the folklore of the Fear Gorta to the harrowing clinical reports of the era, this episode explores how a society is transformed when it is blindsided by biological disaster and administrative indifference. Key Topics Covered: The Information Vacuum: Comparing our modern “Ocean of Information” to the terrifying silence of the 1840s, where the sickly sweet smell of rot was a mystery without an immediate answer. The Folklore of Famine: Why stories like Hansel and Gretel and the Navajo Dine Bahane carry the genetic memory of starvation, and the specific Irish harbinger of death: the Fear Gorta. The Structural Cage: A deep dive into the Rundale system and Gavelkind inheritance. We look at why the West was trapped in a cycle of subdivision while Ulster was shielded by the “Linen Shield” and Tenant Right. The Biology of Starvation: Using modern metabolic science and contemporary medical records to explain the “Blue Nose,” the “Sunken Orbit,” and the terrifying reality of Autophagy—the body cannibalising its own architecture. The Refeeding Trap: The physiological reason why a crust of bread could become a death sentence for a heart shrunken by atrophy. Conspicuous Consumption: The stark contrast between the “Workhouse Swineries” and the elite social calendar, including the dinner menus of the Cork Harbour Regatta. The Gregory Clause: How a single piece of legislation—the Quarter-Acre Clause—was used to engineer the clearances and force the starving into homelessness. The Ledger of the Dead: Analysis of the 1851 Census and the 20–25% demographic erasure that redefined Ireland forever. SOURCES Historical Research & Modern Analysis Delaney, Enda.

It's officially that time of year again: Oscar season! We're now just a few weeks away from the 98th Academy Awards and to celebrate, over the coming days and weeks we'll be posting conversations about movies in the mix for all sorts of major awards at this year's ceremony (not just the writing categories). We have of course ticked off a few of the front runners already on the show in recent months - scroll back in your podcast feed to hear our chats with Ryan Coogler about Sinners and Chloe Zhao about Hamnet. But there's always room for more, right?Which brings us to Weapons – writer-director Zach Cregger's astonishing Hansel and Gretel-esque horror fairy tale, structured like Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia. The film hit cinemas last summer and quickly became a surprise box office smash, earning a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Amy Madigan along the way. It tells the tale of a town in Pennsylvania who wake up one morning to find their children missing. Ring camera footage reveals that at precisely 2:17am, an entire class of kids – bar one child – got up and ran from their homes, running through the night towards an unknown destination, with their arms spread wide. The film grapples with the aftermath of that mysterious event, zooming in one-by-one on members of this community as they wadde through the trauma, the confusion, the suspicion, the guilt. Julia Garner plays the alcoholic teacher of the class that disappeared. Cary Christopher plays Alex Lilly, the sole kid remaining. And Josh Brolin is in the mix too, as a dad besieged by strange dreams – including one of a giant assault rifle in the sky that doubles up as an alarm clock, in an image that set the internet ablaze with debate.What does it all mean? In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Zach responds to the many different interpretations of the film among film fans – including the suggestion that it's a response to the ongoing epidemic of school shootings in America. He tells me what he's come to understand he was working through while writing the script – and we dig into details about his original draft for the film, titled Dancing In The Head, which began with 27 suicides and at one point had an entire segment dedicated to the inner-life of the film's terrifying antagonist, Aunt Gladys.

CURTIS LEMAY TAKES COMMAND AND TESTS INCENDIARIES Colleague James M. Scott. After Hanselwas fired for a lack of results, Curtis LeMay, a pragmatic problem-solver from a hardscrabble background, took command in January 1945. LeMay realized the existing tactics were unsolvable equations and began tinkering with variables like altitude and radar. Concurrently, the US developed napalm and the M69 incendiary bomb, testing them on a mock Japanese village built in the Utah desert to ensure they could burn traditional wood-and-paper Japanesearchitecture. LeMay possessed detailed data on Tokyo's flammable density, preparing to exploit the city's architectural vulnerabilities. NUMBER 3 1945 OKINAWA
THE ARRIVAL OF THE B-29 AND THE PRESSURE ON HAYWOOD HANSEL Colleague James M. Scott. In November 1944, Brigadier General Haywood Hansel arrived in the Pacific with a mission to destroy Japan's ability to wage war using the B-29 bomber. Hansel, a pioneer of air strategy, was a staunch believer in high-altitude daylight precision bombing, a tactic designed to collapse an enemy economy by targeting specific industries like oil refineries. However, the B-29 was an expensive and technically "buggy" aircraft that faced immediate challenges. Hansel operated under immense pressure from Air Force commander Hap Arnold, who was suffering from heart attacks while fighting for the Air Force's independence against the Army and Navy. NUMBER 1 1945 OKINAWA
JET STREAMS, BAD WEATHER, AND THE FAILURE OF EARLY RAIDS Colleague James M. Scott. Hansel'sprecision strategy failed due to Japan's adverse weather and violent jet streams, which blew at 230 mph and ruined bomber accuracy. The B-29, which cost $3.7 billion to develop, suffered from mechanical glitches like engine fires during the 3,000-mile flights from the Mariana Islands. Early raids against the Nakajima aircraft factory were ineffective, destroying only 1% of the target. While British commanders pressured Americans to switch to firebombing cities, Hansel refused to abandon precision tactics. Meanwhile, FDR's approval of the atomic bomb suggested leadership was open to city-destroying weapons. NUMBER 2 1945 0KINAWA
From Norse frost giants to the Bible's Goliath, tales of giants have haunted humanity for centuries — but in 2002, US soldiers in Afghanistan claim they encountered a 12-foot, six-fingered, blade-wielding giant that killed one of their own before they brought it down.IN THIS EPISODE: Did U.S. Special Forces really shoot dead a 12-foot-tall giant in Kandahar, Afghanistan? How much truth is behind the story – and how does fit into the age-old narrative of soldiers, knights, and heroes battling against and vanquishing giants and monstrous creatures? (The Giant of Kandahar) *** Soon after the Cranmer family moved in to their new home on Brownsville Road, it became clear that they were not alone. (The Demon of Brownsville Road) *** The Elephant's Foot was created after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 when reactor 4 exploded, releasing a lava-like mass of radioactive material called corium. So radioactive that it's still dangerous if you try and see it for yourself today. (The Elephant's Foot of Chernobyl) *** When something horrifying happens, it's natural to tell others about your experience. But what if, no matter how much you explain it, people simply don't believe you? We'll look at numerous stories from people who have true tales that they have a hard time getting even friends and family to take seriously. (Nobody Believes Me) *** When a great famine struck Europe in 1314, mothers abandoned their children and in some cases, even ate them. Scholars believe that these tragedies gave birth to the story of Hansel and Gretel. (The Grim True Story Behind Hansel and Gretel) *** Cultures all around the world have stories of tiny humans – elves, leprechauns, fairies, hobbits… but how can so many different communities have such similar descriptions of tiny people? Could there be evidence to prove the existence of tiny humanoids? (Little Human Subspecies) *** Traveling to the Superstition Mountains in search of the rumored treasure hidden there is not only a bad idea… it could be a fatal one. (Mysterious Visitors From Other Realms) *** Seeing an unidentified flying object in the sky is pretty common – even in cases where several people see the flying whatever-it-is at the same time. But when is the last time you and everyone around you looked up and saw an entire city flying in the sky? That's what happened in 2011 in the Nigerian village of Bauchi. (UFO City) *** But first… according to GPS, off the California coast there are dozens, possibly hundreds of ships moving around in circles. But the ships, while clearly visible on the GPS system, are nowhere to be seen by the human eye. Are these ghost ships from the past? The oceanic version of crop circles? Sailing ships from a different dimension? Or could it be something more disturbing, like a new type of cyber attack? We begin with that story.
