Modern technology may be the key to unlock hidden secrets about an ancient monument: Stonehenge.

Researchers are using lasers to scan the nearly three dozen stones, or megaliths, that make up the famous circular complex on the Salisbury Plain of southern England.

The vertical stones — over 10 feet tall and weighing many tons — form the site that’s believed to be nearly 5,000 years old. And nobody is sure why or how Stonehenge was originally built.

Around June 12 of 2006, the 260th Quartermaster Battalion providing Petroleum Support Surveillance around Talil Air Force Base southeast of Baghdad uncovered a copper box containing a set of lapis lazuli tablets with Sumerian cuneiform embedded from within its layers.

Or so the story goes.

Well, I thought I was going to be stuck inside all day due to the crappy New England weather. But guess what, the weather geniuses were wrong again and now the sun seems to be poking out. What a shock?! So maybe I won’t be sitting on my duff all day. Which means I need to pump this post out as fast as possible before the weather changes. Anyway, I had plans to switch gears a bit and get away from the ghosts and demons and look into some UFO stuff. And I came across what looks like a really cool UFO conference that will be available online at ufostream.com if you can’t get to San Diego.

Alright Mister Google, I’m going to let you have this one, but we aren’t done yet. Just keep that in your head and have your fun.  And while your at it thanks for taking a serious scientific approach,  ”Some have speculated that these are the plow marks of seafloor farming by aliens.” What’s that all about?!
