Magnet Fisherman Finds 60 Mysterious Cubes With Inscriptions in Coventry Riverinterestingengineering.com/magnet-fisherman-finds-60-mysterious-cubes-with-inscriptions-in-coventry-riverSo, are they cursed or not? You be the judge. Who doesn't love mysteries? Every secluded part of earth holds mysteries that are waiting to be solved, and in this instance, that place was a river in Coventry. A magnet fisherman out with his two sons found almost 60 enigmatic cubes that are believed to show a sacred numerical inscription. Will Read, the 38-year-old magnet fisherman from Finham, found the "lead blocks" while sifting through shallow water. They were searching for ferromagnetic objects available to pull with a strong neodymium magnet. Magnet Fisherman Finds 60 Mysterious Cubes With Inscriptions in Coventry River The cubes, which were small enough to hold between finger and thumb, weighed 125 grams each. They were set into neat grids with inscriptions thought to be in Sanskrit. As more and more people commented, the mystery started to unfold. Thought to be tiles or rocks at first Read and his sons thought the cubes were debris that was littering the bottom of the River Sowe in South Coventry. He recalled the unusual event to Coventry Live, "We were out magnet fishing as our daily activity in lockdown and we were at a relatively isolated spot. At first, we found keys and pennies and other bits and bobs, and then we looked down and saw what we thought were tiles." He was reportedly live-streaming to his friends on Facebook and started picking up what he thought were tiles or rocks. "I showed them to the camera and as I looked back more and more kept appearing." After collecting the mysterious cubes, Read posted the images on Facebook to find out what they might be. Of course, thousands of people started presenting their opinions, and let's just say that people's imaginations ran wild. During this process, Read returned to the spot twice more and also found a silver coin that was lying by where the cubes were. What are they?The majority of the comments show that the cubes might be connected to a Hindu prayer ritual. Read says, "What I learned is that they are Indian in origin and they show incantations for prayers which take effect when they are thrown in running water." All the cubes are entirely identical other than a different face on only one side. According to one Redditor, they, supposedly, are Jyotish tokens which contain a numerical formula to summon the protection of Rahu, a planet with God-like powers, who controls thieves, magicians, snakes, jails, and isolated places. 'Magic' squares The comment reads, "Based on another comment these are Indian numerals: 15 8 13
10 12 14
11 16 9
All rows, columns, and diagonals add up to 36, this makes it a magic square! But more specifically, they are called Navagraha Yantras. There are traditionally 9 of them (one for each "planet"), each having a distinct combination of 9 numbers. Together they can be combined to form their own "Magic square."
"The words on the bottom are some form of either: om raam rahave namah om raag rahave namah or simply, om rahave namah. These are called Beej (seed) mantras."
Apparently, "the placement of Lead (raanga) in running water is particularly important in this practice as a remedy for specific things and astrological circumstances." Latin Squares, Magic, and Euler
Moreover, as another Redditor points out, they are interesting in the mathematical-front too. "Magic squares (and a similar concept, known as Latin squares) can function as numeric representations of resource distribution and scheduling problems, where you need to ensure that every entity is treated equally."
Mathematic-enthusiasts can check out this thread which touches upon everything from magic cubes to famous conjectures of Euler's work on Latin squares. However, these are not for certain and the cubes still remain a mystery. The mystery isn't solved yet in its entirety, and we still don't know how 60 of them ended up in a quiet river in Coventry. So, are they cursed or not? You be the judge.

Crystal I have a belly pic of first in my archive of gary Mckinnons shots of us Spaceforce before they were removed and replaced with artists rendition below..hovering ..yes hovering..almost street level and it was long although considering altitude this youtubes videon that looks larger but same shape as the original pic i have..very small fins..no big shuttle wings
By the way Sorcha is lookin hot today Eric W. Davis, an astrophysicist who worked as a subcontractor and then a consultant for the Pentagon U.F.O. program since 2007, said that, in some cases, examination of the materials had so far failed to determine their source and led him to conclude, “We couldn’t make it ourselves.”
Mr. Davis, who now works for Aerospace Corporation, a defense contractor, said he gave a classified briefing to a Defense Department agency as recently as March about retrievals from “off-world vehicles not made on this earth.”
Mr. Davis said he also gave classified briefings on retrievals of unexplained objects to staff members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Oct. 21, 2019, and to staff members of the Senate Intelligence Committee two days later.
Committee staff members did not respond to requests for comment on the issue.
Making what the New York Times revealed most remarkable and notable, this report concludes, was that absolutely no one in the entire US government pushed back and said any of it was untrue—and during the past 24-hours, was followed by the New York Times publishing another article titled “Do We Believe in U.F.O.s? That’s the Wrong Question” wherein it stated “Reporting on the Pentagon program that’s investigating unidentified flying objects is not about belief…It’s about a vigilant search for facts”—and when viewed in the light of the now expanding “Fourth Turning Event” now overtaking the entire world, could very well mean that President Trump is preparing to reveal to the world the existence of alien life—a revelation that would overturn everything we thought we knew—and beyond all doubt, would create an entirely new world.
Gary was right
It had ranks and names. It had tabs for 'material transfer' between ships.
"I thought let's try to cut out the conventional explanations. I searched for the term but it was nowhere at all. It is not a standard thing in the military at all.
"I took that to be, they must have a ships based in space – the names started with USS. It implies navy."
Ships of the United States Navy have USS before the ship's name in the same way as Royal Navy vessels have HMS in front of theirs.
It comes as the Daily Star Online revealed how Russia has launched a war satellite as part of its new "space force" to be used if World War 3 spilled over to Earth's orbit.

Good morning lovely UFOCasebookers and our stealth visitors,
USA Today
In 2020, anything's possible. New government intelligence might prove alien life is, too.
And let’s face it, if they’re coming, 2020 is the perfect year for them to arrive, since it has piled one unlikely event on top of another.
Glenn Harlan Reynolds Opinion columnist 29 July 2020
“I’m not saying that it’s aliens. But it’s aliens.”
That’s the tagline of a famous internet meme based on Giorgio Tsoukalos’ History channel show, “Ancient Aliens.” But now it seems to be the official United States government line, too.
Just this past week came the latest slow-roll disclosure about UFOs and aliens in The New York Times, which, in the words of tech blog Gizmodo, "casually drops another story about how aliens are probably real.”
There are even reports that the Pentagon has obtained vehicles or parts of vehicles "not made on this Earth," though former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was either misquoted confirming the story or walked back his comments to that effect later.
I’m old enough to remember when speculation about UFOs was limited to the fringe and when respectable figures and publications wouldn’t touch it. But a few months ago, the Navy released UFO videos, and since then more stories keep appearing, suggesting at the very least that the U.S. government is taking the possibility of aliens visiting Earth a lot more seriously than has been the case in the past.
Life, on other planets? A great possibility
Well, maybe there’s something here and maybe there’s not. It wouldn’t shock me to find that our vast universe harbors other intelligent life, nor would it surprise me to find that just because we don’t know how to travel between the stars yet, others have figured it out.
But what would aliens look like if we met them? Well, there might be some sorts of intelligent life that we’d never contact: Electromagnetic creatures that live on neutron stars, for example, would be extraordinarily difficult to discover or communicate with. But, basically, the more alien species have in common with us, the more likely they are to visit Earth if they’re able to. Carbon-based life forms would be more likely to be interested in planets suitable for carbon-based life; oxygen breathers would be more likely to visit a planet with an oxygen atmosphere, etc.
We’re conspicuous enough to anyone who’s looking: Commercial broadcasting has been going on for a hundred years now, meaning that anyone within a volume 200 light years across could find us if they looked. (We haven’t found radio signals from anyone else, but while that might mean there’s no one out there, it might also mean that they’ve advanced beyond the use of radio waves.)
Not even aliens would surprise us
If aliens do come to see us, what are they likely to be like? Well, to get here they have to be at least as intelligent as us. And as Gregg Easterbrook noted in The Atlantic awhile back in 1988, that’s troubling: “The most disquieting aspect of natural selection as observed on Earth is that it channels intellect to predators. Most bright animals are carnivores: Stalking requires tactics, pattern recognition and, for social animals, coordinated action, all incubators of brainpower.”
And violence. We can hope, of course, that a sufficiently advanced alien civilization might have evolved past violence, though the evidence that our civilization is doing so is not entirely compelling.
Probably the best we can hope for, if aliens are visiting Earth, is that they’re studying us. And a lot of the encounters may be explained by what some of my science-fiction writer friends call the “graduate student hypothesis”: We’re being studied, but, as on Earth, the big shot scientists leave most of the grubby fieldwork to grad students, who occasionally get bored, or drunk, and decide to have a little fun spooking the natives.
One thing that may have been true when Easterbrook wrote, but that I think is much less so now, is the notion that encountering aliens would be a huge culture shock. There was a time when we took it for granted that humans were alone in the universe at the top of the evolutionary heap — above us were only the angels. But decades of science fiction have surely undermined that. Given the number of alien contact movies in the past few decades, it is more likely that angels visiting Earth would be greeted as aliens than that aliens visiting Earth would be greeted as angels.
Certainly, the surprisingly low-key response to what in the past would have been earthshaking UFO revelations suggests that we’re psychologically ready to handle alien contact without the kind of trauma that might have marked an earlier time. And let’s face it, if they’re coming, 2020 is the perfect year for them to arrive, since it has piled one unlikely event on top of another. From murder hornets to a global pandemic to alien invasion ... it just feels right, somehow.
Welcome to Earth, alien visitors. Watch out for the murder hornets.

I found this article today. Harnessing wind data to help meet energy needs in Florida Date: July 30, 2020
Source: Florida State University
Summary:
A new study shows how upcoming technological advances could make wind energy a hot commodity in the Sunshine State.
Florida is one of several states in the Southeast where wind energy is virtually nonexistent, which is one reason wind farms have not been an economically viable energy source in the region. But a new study from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering shows how upcoming technological advances could make wind energy a hot commodity in the Sunshine State.
Sean Martin, a researcher in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering from Florida State University, is working with an interdisciplinary team of scientists to examine wind resource characteristics at nine different locations in Florida. Their analysis will help the wind industry and policymakers know how viable wind energy production using developing technologies could be.
Their work was published in the journal Applied Energy.
"With advances in turbine technology, taller towers, larger rotor diameter and new control systems, we will be able to provide low-cost wind power to low-wind regions, such as Florida and the Southeast," Martin said. "The increased hub heights and taller turbines can take advantage of greater wind speeds that occur higher up to harvest more wind power."
Compared to states like Texas or Iowa, the wind in Florida is not something wind farms can profitably capture at the moment. Wind speeds are slower because of increased surface friction and turbulence caused by buildings, trees and other obstructions. Most utility-scale turbines installed in the United States are west of the Mississippi River, where more favorable wind speeds, greater than 13 miles per hour, are prevalent.
But using new tools that can capture wind energy at higher elevations, where wind speeds are faster, might make wind energy feasible.
Arda Vanli, associate professor in the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
So how tall are these turbines? The average height of most existing on-shore turbines from the ground to the top of the blades is more than 380 feet, similar to a 32-story building. The new, taller turbines are almost twice the height at 660 feet, close to the height of a 55-story building, and are the kind of wind turbines that will be most useful in Florida.
Martin is collaborating with Arda Vanli, an associate professor of industrial and manufacturing engineering, and Sungmoon Jung, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering.
"I don't think anybody can predict the timing for wind energy," Jung said. "We almost had it a few years ago. There was a private company that proposed a wind farm in Florida, but the company withdrew the plan because the technology at the time was not economical enough. I hope we will see wind energy in the future as technology improves."
Sungmoon Jung, associate professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
One of the things the researchers are looking at is the capacity of wind turbines to operate at different sites. Wind speed varies, so turbines must be able to spin at different velocities. Researchers want to know what percentage of time in a year that the turbine can operate at full capacity. In general, turbines that generate at least 30 percent of their total capacity are more economical for utility-scale wind power. The data will be able to predict the best areas in Florida to place the new turbines based on their ability to produce wind energy at specific sites.
"The key is finding and identifying characteristic patterns in the wind data," Martin said. "Once we establish the patterns, the data can assist in site selection and can improve energy estimation measures to help industry and policymakers make decisions on where wind farms are most profitable."
There are other factors the researchers must consider when choosing a site for a wind farm. Safety for birds, noise from rotors and the fact that some people may find wind turbines unsightly are all considerations.
When including some of these elements with wind speed data, the scientists found that the best locations for wind farms appear to be in rural areas of northwest, central and southern Florida.
"Site selection is an important decision, especially in low-wind power areas," Vanli said. "Transporting huge wind turbines to these locations is a significant investment and having good data can eventually determine whether the investment will be successful or not."
Wind energy is gaining significant attention both from academia and in industry. New, affordable methods for generating renewable energy are on the horizon. Wind farms could be viable in Florida within this decade, and turbines even taller than the ones used for this research could be more prevalent in the future.
"The real question is whether factors such as public perception, acceptance and environmental factors will prevent this resource from being developed," Martin said. "We hope the research will add additional renewables to the U.S. energy portfolio and can offset our reliance on a single fuel source, adding energy security to meet a growing need."

I sent Professor Martin this note:
Professor Martin:
I just read the article about the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering's research on wind power potential for Florida. That is indeed encouraging! However, sooner or later, a wind farm in Florida will be struck by a hurricane. How in the world do you make a 660 foot tall structure with vanes capable of withstanding such?
Best regards,
Here is his response:
Thank you for your interest in our research. Hurricane winds do govern the structural design of wind turbines whether located offshore or in other hurricane prone regions. When winds reach the turbine cut-out speed (approximately 50 mph), sensors send a signal to servo motors that rotate the turbine rotors with their leading edges toward the wind and brakes are applied to stop the rotation. Unlike many buildings and other structures, the turbine and its rotor in the parked position are fairly aerodynamic. Design of the system then proceeds with the wind hitting just the area of the tower and blades. This greatly decreases the load on the tower from that when the rotors are in operation.
There are other systems being studied that mount the rotors on the downwind side of the tower. The rotors are hinged at the hub and are allowed to sweep back with the wind similar to leaves on a palm tree.
Best,
Sean

Did Steven Greer fake a UFO with flares?
by Tom Rogan, Commentary Writer July 31, 2020 04:02 PM
Dr. Steven Greer likes to suggest that he is in regular contact with extraterrestrials who are visiting Earth. Kindly, if for a price, Greer offers to train others in his "close encounters of the fifth kind" contact "protocols." But is Greer really in contact with unidentified flying objects or what the military refers to as unidentified aerial phenomena?
Well, like the U.S. military, I'm very confident that some UFOs are true unknowns not belonging to China, the United States, or Russia. That said, I'm not convinced these objects are what Greer is seeing or communicating with. A Jan. 27, 2015, Greer "contact" event in Florida offers a case in point.
That date saw Greer leading an expedition at Vero Beach on Florida's east coast. Greer's website says that his weeklong expeditions come with a "tuition fee" of "$2,500-$3,500 depending on facility costs." The website explains that "all of the Ambassador to the Universe trainings are similar. All participants are expected to complete and return liability release, confidentiality agreement and Ambassador Agreement, which will be sent after they have paid and registered."
Back to Jan. 27, 2015, when Greer's expedition claimed to have summoned two UFOs.
Video of the sighting was posted to Greer's YouTube channel, and the incident was the first case listed on the "photographic and video evidence" page of Greer's website. The video introduction says the "event" occurred between 9:10 and 9:15 p.m. and "was a result of an invitation initiated by the members using coherent thought and meditation practices, also known as, CE-5 protocols." The video description states, "There were NO boats or ships seen anywhere in the area of the objects and there were no jets or planes or other airborne objects anywhere near the objects before, during or after the event."
That's not true. But let's not jump the gun.
The video starts with one bright orange light appearing off the coast. Greer is heard directing a participant to "please turn off your night scope." Note that a night scope would assist in detecting low visibility aircraft in the vicinity. Shortly thereafter, a second light appears off the coast, to the left of the first light. Greer confirms that these are indeed UFOs.
"I'm looking with the night scopes. There's no smoke. There's no trails. These are not flares," he continues. "They were waiting for us to arrive." A few seconds later, Greer implores his group, "Let's welcome the beings on board to join us in meditation. That is such a beautiful color — see, you'll never forget that color," he says. "This is huge," one participant says. Greer agrees, "Yes, this is a major event." At the 3-minute, 32-second mark, the first light disappears. Ignoring the lights' slow but obvious altitude decline, Greer states that "they've stayed pretty much the same altitude, though. ... Let's invite them to come as close as they can." At the 4:11 mark, the second light dissipates. While the second light is quite obviously above the water as it fades out, Greer quickly states, "Oh, that's gone into the ocean. See what it did?" Greer concludes, "Now the way that you know that's not like something like a flare, first of all, it didn't shoot up and then come down." The video fades out. We then see a series of other photos and videos of the same event.
But were these UFOs? Or were they something more terrestrial?
Well, FlightAware flight tracking data attained by the Washington Examiner suggest the latter is true. At 9:11 p.m. on Jan. 27, 2015, a Beech 76 Duchess registered N110SU was recorded flying at 85 mph off Vero Beach. This is slower than the aircraft's normal cruising speed and would feasibly allow the aircrew to deploy parachute flares or some other illumination device. The aircraft took off and returned to the airport in Fort Pierce. The screenshot below shows the aircraft's location at the time of the "event."
