In June 1947 the Airforce released four top secret balloons that were designed to listen for nuclear bombs 10,000 miles away. One of these balloons blew off course and became the Roswell UFO. The materials that were found matched the materials that these top secret balloons were made of. The explanation…

This event commemorates the life of a loved one. Evidently, like the wedding industry, the funeral business raised its prices so much that it is causing people to wonder if they could afford to die.

Since I don’t see books with Egyptian mythology very often, I thought getting to know a little bit of it would be fun while reading a good story.
