volcano – Museum of the Weird

With summer upon us it’s time to break out the grill for some tasty steaks (or veggies). Of course, if you’re a science student at Syracuse University you might take things a little further.

When first erupted from a volcanic vent, lava has a temperatures from 700 to 1,200 °C (1,292 to 2,192 °F). Since most oven broilers top out at about 575°F, lava would be pretty efficient.

The goal of the steak project was to demonstrate that lava is something to be respected but not feared.

Of course, if you are the traditional charcoal-type with your grilling, here is video of George Goble from 1995 in an experiment at Purdue University to find the fastest way to light a BBQ. His solution? He poured 3 gallons of liquid oxygen over a grill with 60 pounds of coal and a lighted cigarette.

Don’t forget to invite all of us as the Museum of the Weird to your next BBQ. We’re sure to have something to liven things up!

What looks like debris flying from the volcano is said to be UFOs coming in close to watch and study mother nature's firework display.

Looks like humans aren’t the only ones appreciating mother nature’s beautiful display of natural fireworks. Two ufos were caught on live television during a news report of an active volcano named Popocatepeti near Mexico City, Mexico.

October 11th was a bust day for UFOs over Mexico. Besides the Giant Jellyfish spotted over Tijuana, not one, but two UFOs were caught on national television. Scott Waring who compiles UFO Sightings Daily in The Canadian, documents that what began as a routine news report on the eruption of the Popocatepeti Volcano, bordering the states of Puebla and Morelos, not far from Mexico City, turned into a field day for UFO spotters.

UFO Sightings Daily is coordinated by Scott C. Waring. He had been affiliated with the United States Air Force at SAC base (USAF flight line). He currently owns an ESL School in Taiwan

Photographs broadcast during the news program show globe-shaped objects at different points in the sky above the volcano. To many viewers, they may have seemed no more than debris flying heavenward, part of the molten rock being spewed out by an angry volcano. But volcano watchers and ufologists will tell you that this is by no means the first time that these glowing globes have been spotted above this particular volcano, which is the second highest peak in Mexico.

The anchor for the news that day, Lopez Doriga, remains baffled by this sighting, saying, “This is the first time in my long career covering the news that I have seen something that I could not explain. I just cannot say what they were, but they should not have been there.”
