Giant Reptile, Giant Moth, Giant Robot - Is Giant Jellyfish Invasion A Surprise To Anyone In Tokyo?

Dateline Tokyo: National Geographic’s Julian Ryall is reporting that “Giant Jellyfish seem poised to invade Japan, and experts are warning fishers to brace themselves for an inundation that could wreak havoc on their industry.”

Of course, seeing as how Tokyo has in the past been a magnet for Giant Reptile attacks, Giant Moth (summoned by a pair of minute Japanese pop-stars) Attacks, and Giant Robot attacks, one wonders if anyone on the island nation is surprised by the fact that a “Giant Something-Or-Other” is pondering an impending invasion?

As a precaution, citizens of Japan are being encouraged to avoid the nation’s thousands of miles of coastline - similarly, the staff here at the Museum are planning an to order in sushi, before the impact on the fishing industry is felt.

“Man (Maybe) Walks On Moon” - One Giant Hoax By Man, Or One Massive Conspiracy By Mankind?

July 20th, 1969 marks the 40th anniversary of NASA’s successful attempt at putting a man on the moon.

Or, some would claim, it marks the 40th anniversary of NASA’s successful attempt at faking putting a man on the moon.

According to a 1999 Gallup Poll survey, approximately 6% of US Citizens believe the Apollo Mission was a hoax and another 5% had “no opinion.” The credit - or blame - for this conspiracy theory can most likely be attributed to Bill Kaysing and his 1974 self-published book titled: “We Never Went To The Moon: America’s Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle.”

Interestingly enough, Kaysing was no run-of-the-mill crackpot, he worked for Rocketdyne (a division of North American Aviation, and later of Rockwell International) where the Saturn V rocket engines were built.

Additionally, Warner Bros.’ 1978 thriller Capricorn One - about a faked mission to Mars, is also cited as a major catalyst for increasing global suspicion about the veracity of NASA’s lunar accomplishments, and to this day, the “fact” that the US faked landing a man on the moon is taught in Cuban schools.

And as recently as 2001, Fox TV aired a “fair and balanced” piece of broadcast journalism titled: “Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land On The Moon?” that investigated the possibility that the Apollo mission was indeed a hoax.

Retired NASA Astronauts Give Props To Retired NASA Chimps

Here at the Museum of SuperNatural History, we’ve always wondered what became of all of those chimpanzees that NASA blasted off into space.

Well, the official response word is that apparently, just like everyone else, they’ve retried to Florida. Astronauts Scott Carpenter and Robert Crippen, two heroes of the U.S. space program, paid a visit to a retirement home in Florida for “The Space Chimps” - veteran chimpanzees who had participated in early test flights by NASA and the U.S. military.

“We’re paying them back for their service,” said Carpenter, one of NASA’s original Mercury Seven astronauts and the second American to orbit the Earth. He toured the sanctuary with Crippen, who piloted Columbia on the first space shuttle flight in 1981.

The chimps were invaluable in helping NASA scientists suss out what dangers the astronauts might face once they were in orbit. The first chimp, named Ham, blasted off for outer-space on January 31st, 1961.

Sadly, most chimps lived in laboratory cages until they came to the sanctuary. Now they live in family groups of about 25 to each island, where they roam in enclosures. Several unoccupied islands sit ready for the arrival of another 150 former research chimps that will eventually retire here.

Interestingly, primates have always played a role in some of the most famous Sci-Fi films of all time, from “2001 A Space Odyssey” to “Planet of The Apes.”

Classified Outrageous Military Experiments Are Stranger Than Fiction

The interns here at the MuSuNaHi are all thoroughly distracted, what with the opening of the film “Wolverine” - which ushers in the beginning of the so-called “Summer Block-Buster Movie Season.”

HR was quick to point out to these temporary twerps that if they were impressed by a fictitious Black-Ops division of the military lacing a make-believe mutant’s body with a nigh-indestructible comic book-concocted metal dubbed “Adamantium,” they might be interested to learn of the real highly-classified experimental hi-jinx the real military has come up with over the years.

Fortunately, the charming folks over at livescience.com have aggregated the list of “The 10 Most Outrageous Military Experiments Of All Time.”

Some of the paramilitary pageant contestants consist of having “...shot accident victims up with plutonium, tested nerve gas on sailors, and tried out ESP.”

The report goes on to remark: “While some of the tests seem outlandish in hindsight, the military continues to push the envelope in seeking new warfare techniques based on cutting-edge science and technology.”

Man’s Best Friend Just Got Better; And By “Better” We Mean Glow-In-The-Dark

This just in from South Korea: South Korean scientists say they have engineered four beagles that glow red using cloning techniques that could help develop cures for human diseases.

The four dogs, all named “Ruppy” — a combination of the words “ruby” and “puppy” — look like typical beagles by daylight.

We’re dispatching a team to fly out to South Korea to attempt to determine how glowing red dogs could help cure diseases.

Japanese Scientists Announce Breakthrough; Killer Robots To Become Eco-Friendly

It’s reports like this that make The Museum of SuperNatural History’ motto - “We Don’t Know What We Don’t Know” - really hit home.

Japanese Scientists, already notorious for creating a “Living Doll Made Out Of Cancer Cells,” have now unveiled a chemical gel that can walk like an inchworm.

According to the report: “the colour-changing, motile gel by combining polymers that change in size depending on their chemical environment. This is based on an oscillating chemical reaction called the Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. The result is an autonomous material that moves without electronic stimulation.”

Unfortunately this seemingly green innovation is mitigated by the inevitable robot-army rebellion predicted by military expert.

If Asteroids Didn’t Kill The Dinosaurs, What Did?

The suddenness with which so many species of dinosaurs vanished 65-million-years ago has always suggested a single cataclysmic event, and when a 112-mi., 65-million-year-old crater off the Yucatán peninsula was discovered in 1978 near the town of Chicxulub, it seemed obvious that the smoking gun was a 7-mile wide asteroid larger than Mt. Everest.

But new study in the Journal of the Geological Society suggests that this may not have been the case. The authors argue that the asteroid impact and the dinosaur extinction may have actually occurred 300,000 years apart.

So what did kill off the dinosaurs? And did any survive? And what the heck is swimming around Loch Ness?

Google To Put A Garden On The Moon By 2012; So How Come Gmail Is Still In Beta?

As part of the Google X Prize, Paragon Space Development is collaborating with Odyssey Moon to develop a mini greenhouse designed specifically to function on the surface of the moon, grow a plant from a seed, and hopefully see it flower and seed itself.

While this would be considered a milestone, the timing is a bit ironic - if not cataclysmic - as many see the year 2012 as the potential end of life on earth.

On a more positive note, this achievement might mitigate some of Google and NASA’s previous mash-ups, so we wish them well with this endeavor.

Vatican Insider Leaks Information About Extraterrestrial Presence

In May of 2008, in the interview with the L’Osservatore Romano - the semi-official newspaper of the Holy See, Vatican Astronomer Reverend Jose Gabriel Funes was quoted as saying he doesn’t rule out the possibility that life could have developed on other planets.

At the time, this seemed like a fairly startling statement - in effect, what the Reverend was saying was the equivalent of “...and on the 8th day, God created ET.”

But now, the the ante has been raised high into the atmosphere by an even more shocking story from The Canadian National Newspaper.

The article revolves around Italian journalist Luca Scantamburlo, who has written extensively about an interview conducted between Cristoforo Barbato and an unnamed Vatican Jesuit priest who has confidentially disclosed inside information about a clandestine meeting in 1954 at California’s Muroc Air Force Base (now known as Edwards AFB) involving President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Los Angeles Bishop James Francis McIntyre and an extraterrestrial delegation.

The report goes on to state that “As a result of this meeting the Vatican established and maintains to this day a secret organization - the S.I.V. - that studies and catalogues information relating to ET contact.” In addition, Scantamburlo goes on to claim that a Catholic Bishop was threatened by an American Secret Service agent to maintain silence about this event and more.

Of course, it has always been theorized that there are multiple references to alien life forms and UFOs in The Bible, and Ezekiel 1 is often thought to be the description of the old testament prophet being abducted by aliens. Likewise, the Book of Enoch is riddled with... well, riddles. As such it was excluded from The Bible - shrouded in the same veil of mystery as the Vatican itself.

With Apologies To TS Elliot, Apparently THIS Is How The World Ends

“Are we ready for a Solar Hurricane Katrina?” That was the ominous question posed by an ABC News Report that examines the potential catastrophic results of increased solar storms and the subsequent solar flares, that are soon to begin raging on the surface of the Sun.

Oh, and apparently, the answer is: “No... we are so not ready.”

According to a recent NASA report, the worst case scenario “...would likely include, for example, disruption of the transportation, communication, banking, and finance systems, and government services; the breakdown of the distribution of potable water owing to pump failure; and the loss of perishable foods and medications because of lack of refrigeration.”

NASA’ report went on to pessimistically peg the cost of this cosmic calamity at several trillion dollars.

The first observed solar storm took place in 1859 and is known as The Carrington Event, named after British Solar Astrologist Richard Carrington, who personally observed the phenomena.

It has been theorized that the next round of solar flares may be exacerbated by, or even the direct result of the fated planetary alignment due to take place on December 21, 2012 - an event ominously predicted with uncanny accuracy by the Mayan Calendar.

In this scenario, giant solar flares will strike the earth and disrupt our planet’s electromagnetic field to such an extent that the earth will experience an actual pole shift resulting in unimaginable and unprecedented global devastation.

Fortunately, there are some giant brains at NASA attempting to come up with a civilization-saving Plan B.
