Our Top 10 Superchunk Songs list introduces us to Superchunk‚ an American indie rock band celebrated for their dynamic sound‚ which draws heavily from punk rock influences. Established in 1989‚ the bands name has an amusing origin‚ initially stemming from a misspelling of their original drummer Chuck Garrisons name as Chuck‚ which led to the temporary name Chuck. However‚ to avoid confusion and potential legal issues with a jazz band already named Chuck‚ they opted for Superchunk. The founding members of Superchunk included guitarist and vocalist Mac McCaughan‚ drummer Chuck Garrison‚ guitarist Jack McCook‚ and bassist Laura Ballance.

Hidden within the icy expanse of Antarctica lies a mysterious circle boasting a diameter of 500 kilometers. Discovered in 2006 by a NASA satellite‚ this nearly perfect circular structure has sparked controversy and prompted extensive scientific inquiry.The enigma revolves around the remarkably intense gravitational field detected in this region. Scientists have proposed numerous theories in attempts to elucidate this anomaly‚ ranging from the presence of extraterrestrial craft to the existence of portals to other realms.However‚ recent research conducted by NASA astrobiologists posits a more ominous explanation: the mysterious anomaly may be the aftermath of an ancient asteroid impact.Around the gravitational anomaly in Antarctica‚ we identified a ring structure closely resembling those found near significant meteorite impact sites‚ remarked astrobiologist Jennifer Eigenbrode of NASAs Planetary Environment Laboratory.Given its diameter‚ this meteorite would have been among the largest to have struck Earth‚ measuring approximately 50 kilometers across. It surpassed even the size of the celestial body responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs.Scientists theorize that roughly 250 million years ago‚ this colossal asteroid collided with Antarctica‚ triggering one of the most catastrophic extinction events in Earths historythe Great Permian Extinction.This cataclysmic event led to the disappearance of 96% of marine animal species‚ more than half of all vertebrates‚ and nearly all insects.Eigenbrode emphasized‚ This event stands as the most extensive mass extinction ever witnessed on our planet. And we now believe that the remnants of this ancient cataclysm linger in Antarctica‚ a haunting testament to the destructive power of cosmic forces.The post Gravitational anomaly in Antarctica could have resulted from asteroid appeared first on Anomalien.com.

The legend of the bottomless hole started on February 21‚ 1997‚ when a man identifying himself as Mel Waters appeared as a guest on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. Waters claimed that he owned rural property nine miles (14 km) west of Ellensburg in Kittitas County‚ Washington‚ that contained a mysterious hole. According to Waters‚ the hole had an unknown depth. He claimed to have measured its depth using fishing line and a weight‚ although he still had not hit bottom by the time 80‚000 feet (24‚000 m) of line had been used. I brought the dogs with me. Waters said on the show. They wouldnt go anywhere near the damn thing.Waters said the hole had a three-foot stone wall around it. It seemed bottomless to him‚ so he used an old shark fishermans trick sending thousands of feet of fishing line down.What I did‚ was I sent down a roll of lifesavers‚ he said. So when it hit water the lifesavers would dissolve.But the lifesavers came back up whole no water so how deep was this hole?Waters said he believed it descended miles into the earth and he heard strange stories about its powers.According to him‚ the holes magical properties prompted US federal agents to seize the land and fund his relocation to Australia.Waters made guest appearances on Bells show in 1997 (February 21 and 24)‚ 2000‚ and 2002. Rebroadcasts of those appearances have helped create what has been described as a modern‚ rural myth. The exact location of the hole was unspecified‚ yet several people claimed to have seen it‚ such as Gerald R. Osborne‚ who used the ceremonial name Red Elk‚ who described himself as an intertribal medicine manhalf-breed Native American / white‚ and who told reporters in 2012 he visited the hole many times since 1961 and claimed the US government maintained a top secret base there where alien activity occurs.Now Im going public on this. And that could land me in a pile of junk‚ he said.Red Elk claims the government has a secret base there.An underground base‚ a very small‚ underground base‚ he said. Thats how Red Elk explains the white boxes covering the area on some satellite images. He also said hes seen alien activity in the area.A huge space craft‚ one‚ will appear and hover over the hole‚ he said.Thats what he said happens during Summer Solstice‚ when space men load and unload things at the hole before flying away.At the Northwest Museum of Legends and Lore‚ Phil Lipson said hes heard the stories.Well‚ I believe there is a hole‚ Lipson said. But Lipsons never seen the hole‚ even though hes led expeditions to find it. I think its actually a true event just something thats never been totally uncovered‚ he said.And to this day‚ no ones been able to find it‚ since that famous radio conversation.Ellensburg Public Library Historian Milton Wagy said the story became a sensation after Waters went on the radio. He said the phone rang off the hook with all kinds of stories about the hole some explainable‚ some not.Hes still trying to solve the mystery of what happened to the librarys file on Mels Hole.Well it just disappeared‚ which lends itself to the mysteriousness of Mels Hole‚ Wagy said. Did Mel take it? Did it just kind of rise out of the locked file cabinet? You never know there might be a hole out there.Now the question is: can anyone find Mels Hole and prove its existence?The post Mels Hole: The Legend of a Bottomless Hole In Washington appeared first on Anomalien.com.
