A whimsical dream or true possible future of the car, well in 1959 Curtiss Wright decided to develop a ground effect vehicle, to you and me a sort of hover craft. Curtiss Wright had been producing airplanes for many years when they started their ground effects program. They had developed the Air Car as a four-passenger commercial vehicle and hoped that it would be accepted by the public as a sort of air-cushioned equivalent of the family car.

This is something different. This is not the sun. I believe this is not a UFO, this is something else,” says the eyewitness in the video. YouTube conspiracy theorists argued that Planet Nibiru has now appeared in the skies and is now on a collision course towards the earth. Others say it is an alien spaceship from deep space. So-called “experts” dismiss it altogether, saying that the strange structure is the result of the sun’s rays penetrating through the clouds. “This is something different. This is not the sun. I believe this is not a UFO, this is something else,”…

Isaac Asimov suggested a long time ago that the Moon is not a natural astral body. All independent studies ever since backed Asimov’s calculations and it was proven beyond any reasonable doubt that the gravitational features of the Moon are not just abnormal. They are the exact numbers required so that the Moon does not escape from the Earth’s gravity and be pulled towards the Sun, as it should be, according to the law of universal gravitation. Taking under consideration the hundreds of unnatural phenomena that happen on the surface of the moon that NASA never bothered to reveal to…
About 75 percent of Americans believe in extraterrestrials, and encounter stories are scattered throughout history. But our attitude towards aliens has evolved in recent years. In September 1961, Barney and Betty Hill were driving late at night in the mountains of New Hampshire when they saw a flying object whizzing in the sky. Barney thought it was a plane until he saw it swiftly switch directions. According to The Interrupted Journey, the couple nervously continued driving until a spacecraft confronted them. They remembered seeing “humanoid-like” creatures and hearing pinging sounds reverberate off their car trunk. And then, they found themselves 35 miles further…
Here’s a remarkable find – a brand-new 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR. The race-ready 911 RSR is one of the rarest 964 variants in existence. RM Sotheby’s has a 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.8 that, in their words, is “unused”. And, judging by the untouched dusty and dirty body, it looks more than just unused – it looks forgotten. In fact, it’s only been driven six miles… ever. “You contact Porsche, and with considerable means, special order such a 911 to your own unique specifications,” waxes RM Sotheby’s description. “However, once delivered and with only 6 miles recorded, this limited-production…
When was the last time you saw an asymmetrical car? Made of steel, it sports a souped-up version of the Valiant’s 225 Slant Six – 1960 Plymouth XNR Concept Car. Halfway through the 1950s, most of Detroit’s dream cars were greatly influenced by jets and rockets. Excitement over extended tailfins and aesthetic wings. While Chrysler Corp focused on performance and gave styling little attention, its Plymouth division did so and was in par with Chevrolet and Ford. One of the possible next steps to improve the appeal of the Plymouth products was to extend the range with a sports car.…
