I've seen the Northern Lights once, glowing red, and they'll put goosebumps on the soles of your feet.

They SAY its a natural phenomenon. Hmmm...

What are you saying, Robert... that NASA staged it, like they staged the moon landings?

All for Omega's benefit too!! You would know better, being directly connected to "the industry" ......

It was proven quite a while ago, the landing was not faked. There was a very in depth independent study done a while back, shown on NGC, IIRC, with scientists, film makers, efx specialists, and photographers, proving the landing was real. It couldn't have been done with the film industries technology at that time. They also showed shots of the lunar surface from satellites where you can see the remaining base of the lunar lander. How cool would it be to be one of only twelve men?
Now the Russkies "first" space walk...

Interesting. So, some hand picked people from associated industries look over the "evidence" and assert that it couldn't have been faked at the time because the technology was lacking. Did they review the alien technology the Government had access to at the time too?

Yep, and the gunman on the grassy knoll was doing craft service.

No, that was misdirection. The 2nd actual shooter was in the sewer system and the 3rd was not needed.

...because he was driving the car...

No, the driver was in but he wasn't supposed to do anything other than SLOW down and stay at a VERY steady rate

You didn't have to, just pulling your leg, because it's easy and fun to do. I also figured you were joking about IRT. Someones leg is getting pulled on that show, too.

Thanks Tim ! ..I agree with you also about IRT ! Sometimes they like to take
the drama level up a few notches ! Especially before they go to a commercial !

I've seen exactly two segments of one episode, and have never looked at it again.

man, that is a great photo

It can be pretty interesting at times, but you honestly may have gotten a good feel
for the show, in the segments that you watched !..However, you are missing the
Northern Lights !

I know they don't come that far south often. The one time I saw them was a few years ago, I was in Red Bluff, CA. We we're hoping to see them when we were in Sweden several years ago, in April, but no such luck. My wife really wanted to see them, as she wasn't with me on the Red Bluff gig.

my dad used to travel to Alaska in the 80's quite a bit and has seen them many times, we used to have relatives that lived in Soldotna and Fairbanks

Cool!

Maybe my son will see them when he reaches Alaska. Great photos and another thing on my Bucket List.

I posted this over at DWC also,we had this over Oslo this winter its an awesome sight.

Oh man !!! ..That is UNREAL !!! What an
EXTRAORDINARY picture el presidente !
It is just OUTSTANDING ! Thanks alot !!!
