Anyone see the article in the Post (I think it was the Post anyhow). Page 20 - MoD officially declare Cannock Chase UFO hotspot?

Come on then - fess up people! Who's been playing tricks on the locals with their laser pen?

 

[gota quid]

well i can confirm though lots of research that what people smoke when they go to cannock chase will result in seeing bright lights in the sky

 

[Andreas Rex]

Easily done i guess....

It still dosn't tell you quite how he noticed - I just imagine him 'stopping at the next junction' and then falling over cos he can't balance the bike!

As a wedding present, or was it intended for Camilla?

This should please tek-monkey no-end. More houses and flats for Friars Terrace

 

[tek-monkey]

Yay! More crappy 'town houses' made of cardboard. Notice how many of the last lot are up for sale? Isn't the old riverside site going to be a shitload of flats too?

may the sun always shine on alton towers

hold on:

Particles are dropped or fired into clouds in an effort to change levels of precipitation.

The technique was also reportedly used during the UK's 1976 drought.

In China it is used to boost rainfall in drought-stricken areas and it is also used in the US to encourage snowfall in the mountains above Californian hydroelectric dams.

how exactly is this going to encourage dry weather??

Yeah, the article defo feels like there's something missing.

 

[tek-monkey]

Don't they encourage the rain to fall elsewhere? I thought seeding actually promoted rain too, but if they do it on clouds that are heading their way there's a good chance it'll be rained out before it reaches them.
