In the past two weeks, social media has been buzzing with videos (see below) of mysterious flashing lights captured over Indiana, reports www.coasttocoastam.com. Several locals posted their footage online, hoping for answers. Speculation ranged from military drills to flares and even extraterrestrial activity. The first widely-reported sighting occurred on October 7, when hundreds of people witnessed a series of pulsating lights gliding across the sky near Kokomo, Indiana, before vanishing. Reddit discussions quickly pointed to the nearby Grissom Air Reserve Base as a possible explanation, with some suggesting the lights were flares. However, not everyone found this convincing. One user challenged the flare theory, posting: “Anyone saying this is flares — if you can provide me tangible evidence that flares appear to teleport to the side like this in training exercises, I’m all ears… Until then I don’t care what your pilot uncle says.” Just days later, more videos emerged from the same region, this time showing up to three distant lights hovering and changing shape and color. No explanation has yet been received from the authorities. The post Indiana Locals Report Numerous UFO Sightings in Recent Weeks appeared first on Anomalien.com.

Apple Intelligence is expected to debut on several iPhone, iPad, and Mac models as soon as next week. So far, Apple's AI platform requires devices with an M1 or A17 Pro chip or newer and at least 8GB of RAM. While this already includes several Apple products, more models and product categories will join the Apple Intelligence party in 2025 and beyond. In his latest Power On newsletter, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says nearly "every Apple device with a screen will run [Apple Intelligence]" by 2026. However, most users won't have to wait two years to get the latest AI features. The journalist believes Apple Intelligence will arrive early next year in the long-anticipated iPhone SE 4. This device will have an iPhone 14-like look but with a single 48MP camera, the A17 Pro or A18 chip, 8GB of RAM, and Apple's custom 5G chip. Apple Intelligence will also be key for this device due to its entry-level price. It will be one of the most affordable Apple products, and it will run the company's latest AI features. Later that year, Gurman expects Apple to upgrade the entry-level iPad with Apple Intelligence support. With that, the tablet would join the rest of the iPad family that can run Apple's AI. Also, for 2025, Apple Vision Pro should also have these features. This has been reported previously, but Gurman doubles down on the fact that Apple is working on bringing these functions to its headsets. Even devices like the Apple Watch, which aren't expected to gain 8GB of RAM or a more robust processor, will run some kind of Apple Intelligence. So far, these experiences will be powered by an iPhone, and the Apple Watch will mirror them. The key example is the Summary Notification feature, which can be seen in the latest iOS 18.1 and watchOS 11.1 betas. Finally, the next wave of home devices is expected to be built around AI capabilities. While Gurman mentions Apple's rumored tabletop devices, a new Apple TV could have these features and mirror some of those experiences to the latest HomePod speakers. Even though Apple Intelligence is said to be two years behind competitors, Apple is trying to catch up in the AI racing. BGR will follow Apple's upcoming announcements on that matter and report back once we learn more about it.

During their heights, many great empires were considered invincible - before God and Man. Ruling over great territories and thriving for centuries, such empires were major global powers, and invading them was never an option for a would-be enemy. And yet, even such great powers declined and crumbled, and often without the aid of an enemy. Because even the greatest of realms are helpless in the face of the invisible enemy - disease. In our distant past, when medicine was still in its infancy, disease and sickness was often rampant. And once it took hold, it spared no one and nothing that stood in its path. Empires included. Disease, the Greatest of Conquerors In ancient times, disease played a major role in the gradual decline of kingdoms, cities, and even vast empires. This is because major outbreaks of sickness further exacerbated the existing economic, social, and political issues. Of course, for most of history the causes for decline in power were usually warfare, repeated economic stress, and political instability. But often, such problems could have been dealt with, and power regained. With disease, however, there was no going back. Because disease decimated the population of an empire, strained its resources, and devastated the pre-existing social order. And without the people to put things right, how could an empire regain its power?
