The very idea of ​​the existence of extraterrestrial life excites the minds of people throughout the entire existence of human civilization. There is a theory that life itself on Earth originated, being brought from space. According to one theory, life on Earth appeared after one of the celestial bodies brought it to the Blue Planet from space. Proponents of this theory have recently received confirmation of their ideas. This happened during a careful examination of meteorites with the help of modern technology. Complex molecules have already been found in fallen meteorites, and in the current study, scientists managed to find…

NASA knows how to keep secrets. Everyone, down to the cleaners and cooks, signs non-disclosure papers when they get a job there. Therefore, everything related to NASA always has a hint of mysticism and fantasy. In a long interview on radio, Norman Bergrun, a former NASA employee at the age of 89, spoke about the many alien civilizations in space. But the most interesting thing is that Norman told about a distant planet – Neptune. According to him, on this planet, the ice cover is about 2.5-3 kilometers, and there is liquid water under it, only with a different chemical…

A world-renowned scientist and former engineer of the United States Air Force and Boeing Company, using a telescope, photographed a UFO with a diameter of 250 meters flying at a speed of 48,000 km / h. But this is just one of the huge UFOs, of which many more have been recorded. According to Frederick Portigal, this is absolute proof that the aliens are already here. This data has been confirmed as authentic by the US National Air and Space Intelligence Agency (NASIC). Frederick Portigal, a former US Air Force and Boeing engineer, captured UFO images and data with a…

This car is a true 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Rallye 350 F85 sport coupe with a VIN to back it up. By 1970, American muscle cars had fully matured with such rides as the high horsepower Chevy Chevelle, GTO Judge and Hemi ’Cuda.By this time, insurance companies had started to realize that these “race-ready” machines coming from Detroit didn’t jive with the low premiums that they were charging. All of that changed quickly and the future new emissions standards and required unleaded fuel slowed any more development of the big-block V-8 powered American muscle car.To skirt the new higher insurance premiums, Detroit…

Gas prices soared from a quarter to a dollar a gallon, and long lines formed as drivers tried to get a few precious gallons before the sign “Out of Gas” was placed on the pump.The time was 1973 and Pontiac, who started the muscle car era in 1964 with the GTO, was singing the swan song of high performance with the introduction of the 455 Super Duty that available as an option in the Trans AM and the Firebird Formula. Rated at 310 horsepower this power plant was all new: from the block, which featured reinforced webbing with four-bolt mains,…

Interested in restoring Muscle Cars from the 60s?This has been a hobby for many people and for quite some time now. One question that I always hear from people that are interested is what car to pick? Well, for starters, there are plenty of 60s muscle cars you can choose, and it really depends on what you are looking for.One one had, there are the more common and cheaper cars if you’re on a budget, and on the other hand there are the more rare ones which would cost you more money to restore.Regardless, this is a fun hobby and…

To many, the styling of the 1967 Super Sport Chevelle was about as good as it got. Just sitting there, those smooth lines speak of flashing speed. It was basically an update of the ’66 model with a single horizontal bar grille.  On the rear of the car, the taillights were relocated in fender caps on the backs of the rear quarters. On the current national auction blocks, these models are extremely popular drawing huge figures, especially those with the high-performance powerplants.  And this ’67 hardtop is certainly one of those desired machines with a the top-gun L78 375 horse…

During the building of the GT-500 Shelby Mustangs, there were a number of different influences which produced some sizable differences between the models. First of all, the initial ’67 GT-500 was built in California, the same location as the small-block GT-350 models. The production was accomplished on airport property, and the lease was up. The decision was then made to move Shelby production to Michigan. For the 1968 model, all were shipped in a partially assembled state from a New Jersey assembly plant to A.O. Smith in Livonia, Michigan where the production process was completed. The ’68 GT-500 was unique in that it…

One of the most overused clichés in the vintage Ford hobby is that four letter word “rare”. Some folks insist on torturing it to fit cars that were cranked out like potato chips.But we don’t think anybody would object if we refer to Steve Honell’s ’70 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II as rare. None were built. This Competition Orange knockout, sleek and packed with Boss 429 power, came close but was never put into production. A pity too. This was to be Mercury’s version of FoMoCo’s next-generation aero design, taking over from the very successful Torino Talladega and Cyclone Spoiler II.…

The National Motor Vehicle Co., formed in 1900 in Indianapolis, was well established as one of America’s leading four-cylinder automobile manufactured by the time the company debuted the $4,000 six-cylinder Model E in 1906. The National Model E was the first six-cylinder car to be sold in the United States. This particular car boasts an exciting history with a connection to the evocative Wild West. Its first owner, Walter Scott, was a famous hoaxer known as ‘The Fastest Con in the West. ‘ He toured with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show and became a folk hero. This car was acquired…

The LaSalle was created when General Motors President Alfred M. Sloan spotted a void between the high-end Cadillac and Buick. Legendary GM designer Harley Earl was brought to the company to design the first LaSalle (1927) and shortly thereafter formed the first design department, initially known as the Art and Colour Department. This is a very significant LaSalle for two reasons: it is a one-of-a-kind automobile and remains in its original unrestored condition. It retains its original paint, upholstery and top. This Cadillac LaSalle Sport Phaeton was specially ordered for Doctor Nichols of York Harbor, Maine who was the original…

According to online conspiracy theorists, an extraterrestrial mothership was captured above the moon, followed by a swarm of little UFOs. Four objects may be seen traveling over the lunar horizon in remarkable footage captured by an amateur skywatcher. A bigger “craft” appears in the center, bordered by three smaller UFos, before fading beneath the moon. Skywatch International, an amateur skywatcher, published the footage on YouTube. It has now been re-posted on UFOmania, a popular conspiracy website. In the video assessment, they commented, “It appears to be a fleet of UFOs, a big mothership accompanied by numerous smaller UFOs.” The video…

A true supercar is one that offers the comforts expected for the road combined with the kind of performance needed for the track. Ettore Bugatti, however, demanded one other element from each of his designs—elegance. Many automakers could design elegant automobiles, but Ettore would be the first to take his elegant designs and make them at home on the street or on the track. The vehicle that would introduce a number of affluent sons and daughters to the world of high speed would be his Type 35. Bugatti had been producing different models of automobiles using 4-cylinder engines. He would…

The Leo Lyons Custom Mercury In 1950, 20 year old Leo Lyons set out to fulfill his dream of building his own custom two seat coupe with a unique design. Ed Iskenderian and George and Sam Barris were instrumental in Leo’s big plan to build ten identical custom cars, each with brand new parts. The chassis and panels were purchased new from Ford, and Leo quickly learned the art of metal shaping under the guidance of Sam Barris and with the help of California Metal Shaping. After ten year’s work, his new ‘Leo Lyons Custom Mercury’ appeared on a Car…

Part of the scientific community believes that an extraterrestrial civilization is responsible for life on Earth 3.8 billion years ago. Could there be planets where developed extraterrestrial civilizations existed? For several years now, there has been a question that has plagued the minds of many people. Could there be an extraterrestrial civilization much more advanced than ours? This is because many scientists have wondered if there are solar systems in the universe that are over 10 billion years old. Given that ours is only 4,600,000 years old. Francis Crick, the Nobel Prize in Medicine laureate who is credited with discovering…

Strange things happen daily, but as weird as everything gets we never expected things to get as weird as this. A new discovery was made by NASA themselves, one that sounds a bit too fantastical, to say the least. A huge UFO has been spotted in between Earth and the Sun, just strolling by, enjoying the view. Not only that, according to their official statements this UFO was not even paying attention to us in the slightest, it was just minding its business trying to avoid a huge solar storm that was heading our way. Immediately after these pictures were…

UFOs had sexual contact with humans, and one woman allegedly even became pregnant, according to the allegations recorded in the Pentagon documents from the DIA. The report was obtained as part of a freedom of information request. Not ordinary claims were made in Pentagon documents obtained by The Sun. Several witnesses have claimed that the aliens had sexual encounters with humans, after one of which one woman was left pregnant. Titled “Anomalous Acute and Subacute Field Effects on Humans and Biological Tissues,” the report examines the health effects of people who have had paranormal experiences or “injury to human observers from anomalous…

Imagine that future humans manage to travel to other worlds and find… more people. According to an astrobiologist at the University of Cambridge, this scenario may be more likely than you think. In a new interview with the BBC Science Focus, evolutionary paleobiologist Simon Conway Morris from the University’s Department of Earth Sciences said that researchers can “say with reasonable certainty” that human-like evolution has taken place elsewhere in the universe. At the core of Morris’s beliefs is the theory of convergent evolution, which states that “random effects eventually average out, so that evolution converges, seeking the appearance of similar…

Back in 1962, a muscle car wasn’t an intermediate vehicle with a full size engine and transmission. The brawny beasts with big cubes came in large cars with names like Galaxie and Impala SS. The industry wasn’t completely sold on compact cars. They kept some irons in the fire with the Falcon, Chevy II and Valiant, but the real profits lay in big cars.Chrysler Corporation was in transition with their image. After sensational sales of the their “suddenly it’s 60” line of finned wonders, the new products for 1962 were completely different. The Fury was Plymouth’s macho performance car during…

Those magic three numbers-‘300’. During the 1950s and ’60s, they meant everything in performance. The numbers still live today as they have been brought back to name some of Chrysler’s new heavyweight muscle models.Even though this family of cars were extremely heavy, their performance capabilities were outstanding. It’s certainly easy to understand why many in the know consider these cars to really be the first American Muscle Cars. Much of the early performance publicity for the 300 came on the NASCAR racetracks and the fact that it was carrying the 331 Hemi powerplant. For example, in 1955, Hemi-powered 300s won…
