Check your local listings!

Televised awesomeness tonight! Friend of the blog (FOTB) Adam made an official appearance as Professor Rengstorf on the History Channel show UFO Hunters.

The UFO Hunters crew were in town to investigate a loud boom heard over Kokomo Indiana this spring, with accompanying mysterious lights. The Man would like you to believe that this was a sonic boom caused by an F-16 from nearby Grissom airbase, and that the lights were dropped flares. Yeah, right, The Man. Sure it was.

During the investigation, the team uncovered a potential smoking gun: a possible impact crater from a UFO crash, located in a nearby field. Adam discussed possible trajectories of the impact, then helped them positively identify the small muddy hole in the ground as a small muddy hole in the ground, or "naturally occurring sinkhole" in fancy atronomer lingo.

Okay, The Man. Whatever.

Anyway, although we will doubtless never know the truth, in no small part due to the relentless obstructionism of the so-called scientific community, kudos to Dr. Adam for the aforementioned televised awesomeness. The episode is called Heartland Explosion, so if you missed it, check your local listings!

No worries. It was actually the Man that paid me off to say those things.

Y'know, to throw you off track.

Ummm... thanks I think? No idea how you got your hands on that photo... taken at the Renaissance
Faire, of all things. but yeah, some days being married to an astronomer is cool. Though UFO Hunters seems to be sort of... well, let's put it this way; without the crazy camera work and floaty word graphics, there wouldn't be much there.

Someone had it in his facebook album.

And agreed about the UFO Hunters. It was entertaining though.

You were great, Adam and it was a fun show! Claudia stayed up an *hour* late on a school night to see it!

Mrs. Alan J.,
Where did you get the cool graphics to spruce up your blog?

Are your sister and Marinda in the line of fire again?

Hi, Jana! You mean the blog header? I just threw something together and I found that swirly thing somewhere on the internet.

Also, Amy and Marinda are not in the line of fire again, at last report from our mother. Yay!
