Good to have this confirmed.

Archaeologists from the University of Basel have made a remarkable discovery using laser technology, uncovering an ancient Roman military camp hidden in the Swiss Alps at an altitude of 2,200 meters. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this camp, nearly 2,000 years old, is located above a well-known battlefield. The Roman army, it seems, not only had no fear of external enemies but also conquered great heights. This is evidenced by the strategic positioning of this military outpost high in the Alps, providing a commanding view of the surrounding valleys and mountain passes. The camp’s location allowed the Romans to effectively monitor approaching forces, while also offering a vantage point over the battlefield below, which had been the initial focus of the archaeologists’ research, 900 meters beneath the camp. The discovery was made using advanced laser scanning technology, which revealed the presence of a fortified structure hidden in the mountainous terrain. This camp, secured by three ditches and a defensive rampart, likely served as a critical strategic post for the Roman army as they traversed the rugged Alpine passes. Further investigation of the site unearthed numerous ancient Roman artifacts, including weapons, slingshots, and nails from the legionnaires’ sandals. Researchers believe the soldiers stationed here may have participated in the battle that took place below in the Alps, linking the camp to the battlefield. This sensational find sheds new light on Roman military operations in the Alps, highlighting their ability to establish strongholds in even the most challenging terrains.

Jay Stratton, former director of the U.S. government’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force, has signed a memoir deal with HarperCollins, marking the highest-ranking official to publicly share direct involvement in UFO investigations. Stratton, a senior intelligence officer for over 16 years, led several key investigations, including the infamous “Tic Tac” UAP sighting by Navy pilots in 2004. The memoir, developed with producer Dan Farah, promises to disclose all legally permissible details about UAP investigations, non-human intelligence, and Stratton’s personal experiences. Stratton believes humanity is entering a new era of disclosure, saying, “We are at the beginning of a new chapter for humanity. The process of disclosure is complex but it has begun.” Stratton’s extensive career includes creating the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Applications Program (AAWSAP) while at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which evolved into the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). Notably, whistleblower David Grusch, who testified to Congress about evidence of non-human intelligence, was part of Stratton’s handpicked team. The U.S. Senate has also pushed for greater transparency on UAPs with the bipartisan UAP Disclosure Act, sponsored by Senators Schumer, Rounds, Rubio, and Gillibrand. Schumer emphasized that the American public deserves to know about mysterious technologies and phenomena, reinforcing the growing momentum for UAP disclosure. Stratton’s book follows the success of Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs by Luis “Lue” Elizondo, another former intelligence official. This wave of memoirs signals a growing public and governmental interest in the mysterious world of UAPs.

Studying and emulating the lives of great men is a useful practice with a long history. Our culture, however, tends to promote celebrities, self-improvement gurus, and politicians. Although no such luminaries proved of much use during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, many “ordinary” people found it within themselves to act with stunning courage and determination. The story of Rick Rescorla offers an especially poignant lesson for these times, involving as it does the triumph of individual know-how, experience, and common sense over bureaucratic “expertise.” While serving as a platoon leader in the Vietnam War, the British-born Rescorla calmed his troops by singing to them. Years later, he employed the same tactic while helping evacuate the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Twenty-three years on, it’s clear just how woefully unprepared our leaders were for 9/11. Rescorla, on the other hand, was ready. Even before he became head of corporate security for Morgan Stanley, he had long warned anyone who would listen of the Twin Towers’ vulnerability to attack. When American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower, the Port Authority ordered Rescorla to keep everyone at their desks. His response, given his somewhat more intimate view of the unfolding crisis, was appropriately blunt: “Piss off.” The evacuation plan he’d insisted all employees rehearse through countless surprise drills went smoothly. His defiance saved some 2,700 lives. Having led his charges at Morgan Stanley to safety, Rescorla went back into the building in search of more people to help. He was last seen on the 10th floor. He had never been comfortable calling attention to his wartime deeds, for which he was awarded a Silver Star and a Purple Heart. "The real heroes are dead," he would say. When the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m., Rescorla joined their ranks.

Apple Watch Series 10 releases next week. While Apple says the display of this new wearable can be slightly bigger than Apple Watch Ultra, some users noted that the comparisons made by the company were a bit sketchy. For example, Cupertino says, "The larger display offers up to 30 percent more active screen area than Apple Watch Series 4, Series 5, and Series 6, and up to 9 percent more than Apple Watch Series 7, Series 8, and Series 9." This is possible thanks to an "innovative wide-angle OLED display," which is 40% percent brighter than Series 9 when viewed from an angle. While this could be beneficial for reading notifications or workout summaries at a glance, users noted that Apple Watch Series 10 also suffered from a major drawback: Bigger bezels. On Reddit, a user compared Apple Watch Series 10 bezels with Apple Watch Series 9. The bezels are more visible despite the slightly larger display (46mm vs. 45mm). As pointed out by the user, the company decreased the visible aluminum finish, as it's 33% smaller, but in total, the bezels are 17% bigger than its predecessor. Image source: Reddit While Apple Watch Series 9 owners upgrading to this new model will find it odd at first, users will likely get used to it after a while. In addition, Apple is making this drawback in favor of a new technology that will improve reading notifications at a glance. Besides that, they can always choose the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which also features thick bezels and a bigger body with a 49mm display—although it comes with a battery twice as big. Despite the thicker bezels, Apple Watch Series 10 brings a new S10 SiP with Sleep Apnea Detection, improved built-in smart features, and a new titanium finish instead of stainless steel. Below, BGR has a guide highlighting all the new features on Apple's latest smartwatch.
