Back in 2019, Marc Walsh got back from grocery shopping and realized his wallet was gone. He thought he would never see it again. That was until two teenagers proved him wrong by showing up on his doorstep with his wallet in hand. As a disabled war veteran from Detroit, Walsh was more than grateful to get his wallet back with everything still inside. Since he was a disabled veteran, every dollar Walsh came by was essential. He was disappointed in himself when he first lost his wallet, and he wasn’t sure what would happen after that. Speaking to Light Workers,…

President Joe Biden ordered an unidentified object in the skies of Alaska to be shot down Friday, less than week after a Chinese surveillance balloon was downed following a flight across the U.S. At a press briefing, Pentagon press secretary Pat Ryder said an F-22 fighter jet shot the object down over U.S. waters at 1:45 p.m. EST. It was initially detected by ground radar Thursday moving northeast, he said, adding that the object was subsequently observed by fighter jet pilots. It was not immediately clear whether the object was a balloon, what its purpose was, or whether it was Chinese…

Academy Award nominated actor Sam Elliot honored WWII veteran Sgt. Ray Lambert when he read his moving story on PBS about surviving D-Day. “It was total confusion. Shells exploding, boats blowing up, people yelling because they couldn’t hear anything, machine gun bullets hitting the water all around you, the roar of the boats coming in. It’s like you’re all alone in the world of a million people because you’re concentrating on what you have to do,” Sam Elliot read. “I just kept going. I was thinking of only one thing — getting to the men who needed me,” Sam continued.…

The A-10 Thunderbolt, nicknamed the Warthog, is one of the most unique aircraft at the United States Air Force’s disposal. The A-10 was designed specifically for close air support (CAS), providing ground troops the assistance they need and taking out armored vehicles in a single pass.

The nickname originally carried a negative connotation, but has since evolved into a term of endearment for the Air Force’s most renowned fighting machines. The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II (AiirForce…

SWING WINGS UP CLOSE We’re all familiar with the F-14’s variable-sweep wing, but not a lot of us have seen it in action this clearly. Its wings optimize airflow by using hydraulics to change angles. The Tomcat’s wings have a sweep range of 20 to 68 degrees. At slower, subsonic speeds, the wings would only be swept back at an angle of 20 degrees. This is done so that more air can directly pass over the wings, maximizing lift at lower speeds. At supersonic speeds, the wings are swept back to 68 degrees, allowing more air to move around them.…

Ussuri Bay in Russia was once a Soviet-era dumping ground for old glass bottles and porcelain, but thanks to the awesome power of mother nature, the bay near Vladivostok, now boasts one of the most beautiful beaches you’ll ever see. Because over the period of many years, the waves of the North Pacific have washed the broken beer, wine, and vodka bottles into millions of smooth and colorful “pebbles” that have turned the area from a no-go zone to a tourist attraction that visitors pay to see. While Ussuri Bay was once considered dangerous, authorities have now deemed it a specially…

Most of us would like to think that if we found money lying in the street we’d do the right thing and hand it in.

Elmer Alvarez was homeless when he found the $10,000 check in New Haven, Connecticut. As someone who had been dealt a tough hand in life, Elmer could have done anything with that check but he decided to return it to its rightful owner. His honesty ended up setting him on…

In the 1980s an idea was conceived by military planners to develop a hypersonic spy plane that could reach Mach 5+, making it truly the fastest manned aircraft ever to fly. While there have been reported sightings of the prototypes, the SR-91 Aurora, if it even existed, likely never made it much best the concept stage. The goal of the project was to develop a replacement for the aging and expensive to maintain a fleet of SR-71 Blackbirds, which cost around $200 – $300 million a year to operate. Technically known as a Special Access Program (SAP) – a “black program” that…
