Southern Delta Aquariids Peak - their radiant lies in the constellation Aquarius. Because it is a double meteor shower week, the Alpha Capricornids will also peak on that same night. Under perfect conditions, you could expect up to 15 to 25 meteors per hour.


It is possible to find meteorite fragments on Earth but it is not easy. Finding a visible, hand-sized meteorite is an extremely rare event, but finding microscopic space dust happens constantly everywhere.


While scientists estimate that roughly 17,000 meteorites weighing over 50 grams (1.76 ounces) strike Earth's surface annually, the vast majority disappear into the oceans, forests, and remote deserts. Globally, only about 10 witnessed meteorite falls are successfully tracked down and recovered each year.


Searching for meteorites in Antarctica stands out as one of the most efficient places on Earth because of the stark visual and geographical contrast created by the landscape. Their dark surface creates a sharp, unmistakable contrast against the blinding white snow and brilliant blue ice field. Unlike traditional deserts or fields, Antarctica's interior ice sheets contain virtually no native terrestrial rocks, meaning almost every dark stone found sitting on top of the ice is a space rock.


Meteorites take us to the Theory of Panspermia where life began with space objects falling to Earth. Today, researchers study retrieved materials from asteroids, comets, and meteors - sometimes discovering they include the fundamental ingredients of life. Meteor Index ~ Astronomy Index

What Will Next Year Bring?


We are currently experiencing unprecedented global warming, wildfires, tornadoes, and flooding. With earth changes accelerating exponentially I tend to think about what next year will bring.


I know the average person is muddling through this summer's climate disasters with little thought to what's coming next - but I like to look at events as a cumulative process in end times.


I suppose I should also add accelerating events on the geopolitical front - and like most people hope those creating international conflicts will be gone in 2027 - although we know better.


The chaos of end times will find a way to exacerbate the destruction of systems that are outdated and outmoded - thought of as a means of cleansing the old to create anew. What everyone has come to realize is that old paradigms simply don't work in today's evolving consciousness.


I don't see it as "Out with the old, in with the new" - but simply "Out with the old and the alchemy of Time".

The Laser Revolution in Archaeology


LiDAR reveals mysterious structures in the Amazon buried for centuries.



The use of a technology called LiDAR - a remote sensing technology - is a game changer for archaeologists and others seeking the mysteries of planet Earth's past.


Over the past week, I have tracked four major stories where breakthroughs using LiDAR have mapped massive, previously undocumented networks of pre-Columbian urban settlements and earthworks hidden in plain sight.


On July 22, 2026 Expedition Unknown aired an episode called "Secrets of Mexico's Underworld". Josh Gates and his team used LiDAR in Chiapas, Mexico, to reveal deeply integrated surface structures with massive, sacred underground cave networks created by a civilization called the Zoque.


On July 23, 2026 "Ancient Aliens" aired an episode called "Secrets of the Amazon". Investigators used LiDAR to explore and map massive structures in the Amazon that were potentially used as astronomical observatories and more. These monuments were perhaps created or designed by extraterrestrials, thought of as ancient gods, who came to Earth, created humans, and then left, leaving behind stone markers as evidence of their time here. This is a common pattern around the world with geometric markers that overlap each other.


Science Alert - July 30, 2026 - Scientists Uncover Hundreds of Hidden Structures Beneath The Amazon A new LIDAR survey suggests that civilization was even larger than archaeologists imagined, hinting at a people that built as many as 30,000 earthworks and had a peak population of up to 3 million people around 200 BCE.


Live Science - July 30, 2026 Lasers reveal hundreds of geoglyphs made by a mysterious civilization in the Amazon rainforest thousands of years A new lidar survey of dense Amazonian rainforest has revealed hundreds of earthworks made by a mysterious civilization two millennia ago. The findings lend weight to suggestions that millions of people once lived in areas today regarded as wilderness. Many are connected by ancient roads.


PhysOrg July 30, 2026 - The ancient Acquiry civilization consisting of millions of people - once flourished in the Amazon. Using LiDAR to discover their lost architecture.


Whatever discoveries have been made in the Amazon - I would prefer to see what's going on with discoveries near other ancient civilizations such as Egypt. In the arid deserts of Egypt, archaeologists swap jungle-penetrating LiDAR for space-based satellite infrared imaging. This technology penetrates the shifting desert sands rather than tree canopies exposing thousands of buried tombs, missing pyramids, and lost ancient cities like Itjtawy.



The hunt for what is hidden does not stop in the desert sands. Our remote sensing technology now turns toward the brutal, miles-thick ice sheets of Antarctica. Just as lasers strip away the jungle and infrared cuts through the sand, advanced ice-penetrating radar and satellite gravimetry are mapping massive, anomalous thermal hot spots and cavernous voids deep beneath the ice.


For decades, whistleblowers and researchers have claimed that human expeditions have ventured deep beneath the frozen surface, discovering ancient, ice-locked ruins, active underground UFO bases, and colossal crash sites hidden from public view. Antarctica stands as Earth's ultimate vault - a continent frozen in time, shielding cosmic secrets from the rest of the world.


Because my true focus remains with extraterrestrials, looking at these technologically targeted anomalies brings a profound sense of anticipation to learn more. Whether hidden beneath the roots of the jungle, the sands of the desert, or the crushing weight of polar ice, there is always the enduring hope that an alien artifact, an extraterrestrial body, or a crashed UFO - entombed by natural debris and centuries of shifting earth - will finally be revealed by these advanced sensors, marking the ultimate discovery at the very end of humanity's journey.

Remembering Glen Hansard - Life is Short


Singer-Songwriter Glen Hansard (April 21, 1970 - July 29, 2026)


Glen Hansard, Frontman of Irish Band the Frames, Dies at 56


A rising plume from the smokestack of a passing ship - met the sky above in perfect harmony as I was reading about the passing of Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard.


I often mention that a ship - or vehicle - represents a life path. Hansard died in a motorcycle accident yesterday - the two themes merging for me as I sat at my computer.


If you live by the water in Bay Ridge, you know that it is often customary to take a boat ride that passes under the bridge to scatter the ashes of someone you love.



Short Life


It's a short life, and there's so little time


And there's a real risk stirring
That we may never put these troubles to right


It's a dangerous lie that we've got endless time
But there's a real hope hovering
That we may one day get some good across the line


In this short life
We only get so much time
At the wheel.


So we drive that mile
We pull the sense inside


We spend the first part running
And the next part waving goodbye


To a short life
We only get so much timev At the wheel


In this short life
There'll be no going back this time
Don't throw it away


Rising up unready in the morning
Rising up at the close of day
Rising up late, wondering if you're still awake


Time enough for sleeping through the winter
"Time enough" to miss a day
"Time enough' goes quickly," don't you throw it away


I know this goodwill don't mean anything
I know we're judged only on the light that we bring
I hope your heart is bearing up


You went too far, too fast
I knew you were a skylarker right to the last
This golden tongue will soon be dust


But when you kick it up
We'll rise in backlit particles
You won't have to go it alone


Running out of step, step, running out of road
We're running out of step, step, running out of road


Running out of step, step, running out of road
Running out of step, step, running out of road (Running out of)


Falling out of step, step, running out of road
Falling out of step, step, running out of road (Running out of)


Running out of step, step, running out of road
Running out of step, step, running out of road


Skylarking


Skylarking, isn't it a way that we can go?
