"Whatever the reason was, it's still unknown and nobody has any knowledge of what happened to the residents of that rural village." In fact, nobody has any knowledge if the unnamed village ever existed. There. I fixed it for you .Considering the source, Mysterious Universe, a website devoted to all sorts of new age claptrap, I would be very surprised if the whole story was not completely made up.

And his story is just one of 120,000. Under Executive order 9066, everyone of Japanese ancestry was excluded from an area 100 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. Most were American citizens, born and raised in the United States. The rest were long term residents forbidden citizenship because they were Asians. Japanese legal resident aliens did not have the right to become naturalized U.S. citizens until the passage of the McCarren–Walter Act in 1952. They were rounded up and interned in fairgrounds, horse racing tracks and stables until the camps were ready. Then they were sent to some of the most arid and inhospitable areas in the US: Topaz Internment Camp, Central Utah. Colorado River (Poston) Internment Camp, Arizona. Gila River Internment Camp, Phoenix, Arizona. Granada (Amache) Internment Camp, Colorado. Heart Mountain Internment Camp, Wyoming. Jerome Internment Camp, Arkansas. Manzanar Internment Camp, California.

Any bets that the previous story on the Navy UFO reports was part of the promotional plans for this Hysteria Channel series? The History Channel has done for History what MTV did for music.

Got film of them? No video shown in this article. Remember what the U stands for. Drones? Ordnance (missiles, rockets, shells)? light reflections/lens flares? Venus? Impossible to seriously guess without something to look at.

" . . .has not changed its meaning or pronunciation after 8,000 years."OKay. English as a language is not 8,000 years old. “The pronunciation in the Proto-Indo-European was probably ‘lox,’ and that’s exactly how it is pronounced in modern English,” he says. “Then, it meant salmon, and now it specifically means ‘smoked salmon.’ It’s really cool that that word hasn’t changed its pronunciation at all in 8,000 years and still refers to a particular fish.” The word "probably" kind of shoots a hole in his claim. And the meaning has changed. Salmon and smoked salmon are really different.

Great! The Smoking Gun (tm) for all the Flat Earth/Moon Landing Hoax/NASA Conspiracy nutjobs out there. This is going to get regurgitated all over YouTube. They are going to suck it down-- hook, line, and sinker.

Interesting story. At first glance it seemed like a recent event. However, the story states this return from extinction happened 136,000 years ago. Conditions changed and the island was repopulated 36,000 years later. The idea of iterative evolution makes sense. Species adapt to their environment, so similar adaptions would occur in similar situations. Miraculous? Miracles usually rely on supernatural intervention. What happened here is the natural world doing what it does. Overall, there have been numerous species of rails which have gone permanently extinct in historic times. The usual culprit has been human activity. The introduction of cats rats and pigs to island ecological systems has wiped out many populations. The most recent extinction I can think of were the Wake Island rails which were eaten into extinction by Japanese soldiers in World War II.

For its day. Titanic Was . . .erm . . . Titanic. However, that was 1912.Currently, there are about 60 liners that are bigger, and carry more passengers.Granted, these floating monstrosities serve a different purpose. No liners do transatlantic crossings on a regular basis. Airliners doomed that. The newer ships are floating malls/hotels/amusement parks floating in a leisure trip Here are a few of the bigger ones:https://www.parkwestgallery.com/giants-of-the-sea-how-modern-cruise-ships-compare-to-the-titanic/

He was also active in historic preservation and land conservation. He served on the California Beach and Parks commission for eighteen years, and was involved in the state of California acquiring Hearst Castle at San Simeon, the Los Angeles Arboretum, and the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

Not much reason to just land there for a quick visit. One problem with the short visit. Unless there was some serious preparation with multiple spacecraft, there would be no live coverage of the landing. The moon would block out any radio transmissions. Radio waves are line of sight, so there could be no direct communication with Earth. That problem is not insurmountable. Small orbiters could relay transmissions to points where they could then be sent to Earth.This brings to mind one major reason for establishing a foothold on the far side. Radio astronomy. A radio telescope array on the far side would be protected from Earthly radio interference. The far side of the Moon is the best place in the inner Solar System to monitor low-frequency radio waves. Earth-bound radio telescopes encounter too much interference from electromagnetic pollution caused by human activity, such as maritime communication and short-wave broadcasting, to get a clear signal, and Earth’s ionosphere blocks the longest wavelengths from reaching these scopes in the first place.
