FBI Memo From 1950 Confirms "Flying Saucers" Crashed In New Mexico
It's unclear whether this memo is a hoax, but it has just appeared on the FBI's "vault" website, devoted to once-classified documents that have become public. The brief memo contains information from an Air Force informant about "flying saucers."
In the memo, FBI agent Guy Hottel records what an "investigator for the Air Forces" (whose name is blacked out) told him about what is popularly called "the Roswell incident." Hottel writes:
Three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico . . . they were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter . . . Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only 3 feet tall, dressed in a metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed flyers and test pilots.
The informant speculates that the saucers were found in New Mexico because the US government had a "high powered radar set up" there, and "it is believed that the radar interferes with the controlling mechanism of the saucers."
This memo seems to confirm what many believed happened at Roswell, which includes flying saucers crashing and alien autopsies (at left, you can see a 1947 FBI memo about Roswell). But it's important to remember that even if the memo is authentic, it is simply the record of what one informant said to another. We don't know who this Air Force investigator is, nor do we know whether he's reporting what other people told him, or if he witnessed the saucers himself. He could be simply reporting a rumor.

Maldives Plans Floating Golf Course
If a round of golf is your idea of a relaxing day of vacation, you're definitely going to want to visit the Maldives in the near future for a golf getaway that will go down in history
The island nation is making the most of its environmental issues and refuses to have its tourism industry swallowed up by the sea. Enter their plans to build a new floating golf course, complete with underwater tunnels that let plaid-clad golfers experience reef life on their way to the next tee box.
The zero-footprint, solar-powered 18-hole golf course is the combined effort of the architecture firm, Waterstudio.NL, floating development engineers, Dutch Docklands and golf course developer Troon Golf. The location is just five minutes from the airport and the design plan includes building the luxury golf course on floating solar blanket fields using water cooling and desalination. Underwater tunnels will connect the holes and facilities together which allow golfers to visually experience the reef. The architect’s design takes into account the fragile island and has minimum impact on the surrounding ecosystem.

Golfer Vs Caddie
Golfer: “Think I’m going to drown myself in the lake.”
Caddie: “Think you can keep your head down that long?”
Golfer: “I’d move heaven and earth to break 100 on this course.”
Caddie: “Try heaven, you’ve already moved most of the earth.”
Golfer: “Do you think my game is improving?”
Caddie: “Yes, you miss the ball much closer now.”
Golfer: “Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron?”
Caddie: “Eventually.”
Golfer: “You’ve got to be the worst caddy in the world.”
Caddie: “I don’t think so, that would be too much of a coincidence.”
Golfer: “Please stop checking your watch all the time. It’s too much of a distraction.”
Caddie: “It’s not a watch – it’s a compass.”
Golfer: “How do you like my game?”
Caddie: “Very good, but personally, I prefer golf.”
Golfer: “Do you think it’s a sin to play on Sunday?
Caddie: “The way you play, it’s a sin on any day.”
Golfer: “This is the worst course I’ve ever played on.”
Caddie: “This isn’t the golf course. We left that an hour ago.”
Golfer: “That can’t be my ball, it’s too old.”
Caddy: “It’s been a long time since

Goose Looks After Blind Dog
Blind boxer dog Baks has got a new lease of life - after being taken under the wing of a pet goose called Buttons.
Buttons the four-year-old goose leads her pal around everywhere either by hanging onto him with her neck, or by honking to tell him which way to go.
Owner Renata Kursa, 47, of Lublin, Poland, was heartbroken when Bak was left blind after an accident last year.
'But gradually Buttons got him up on his feet and starting walking him around. They're inseparable now - they even chase the postman together,' she said.
