The day started off sunny and humid here in Brooklyn with scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. It's no coincidence the rain will end before the Macy's July 4th fireworks display. Due to climate change - this year will be a mix of fireworks and drone displays which are becoming more popular across the US.

It's not just the physical climate that puts a damper on things this year - it's the emotional climate. How patriotic are Americans supposed to feel with the political and judicial chaos that surrounds them?

Programming The American Experiment

Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson draft the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

It's not by accident modern-day UFOology is based on an algorithm configuring the American Experiment with the Human Experiment in and around July 4, 1947. (7.4.47) (11.11 Digital Time Code)

Nothing lasts forever. Why the US does not get to assume that it lasts forever. As the United States marks its 247th birthday Tuesday, questions about how many more the nation will celebrate in its current form have become ominously relevant.

From July 12-29, 1952, a series of UFO sightings were reported in Washington, D.C., and later became known as the Washington flap, the Washington National Airport Sightings, or the Invasion of Washington. The most publicized sightings took place on consecutive weekends, July 19-20 and July 26-27. Never before or after did Project Blue Book and the Air Force undergo such a tidal wave of UFO reports and conspiracy theories.
