UAP (UFO) Transparency

Introduced in the House (02/11/2025). This has been stalled for over a year, no surprise.

UAP Transparency Act

This bill requires the President to direct each federal agency to declassify all agency records related to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and make such records available on a public website of the agency. 

UAP are (1) airborne objects not immediately identifiable, (2) submerged objects or devices not immediately identifiable and that display characteristics suggesting they may be related to such airborne objects, and (3) objects or devices not immediately identifiable and that are observed to transition between space and the atmosphere or between the atmosphere and bodies of water.

In my opinion, the government has suppressed any information on this topic going back as far as the “Battle of Los Angeles” in 1942 and going forward with the Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and Roswell incidents. I doubt this bill will ever make it to a vote.

Bear Cats

Just for Fun

Bear Cats

There is a college team that are named the Bear Cats.  Wondered if this was a made-up name or if it was for real. It turns out that bear cats exist.

The binturong (Arctictis binturong) (/bɪnˈtjʊərɒŋ, ˈbɪntjʊrɒŋ/; bin-TURE-ong, BIN-ture-ong), also known as the bearcat, is a viverrid native to South and Southeast Asia. It is uncommon in much of its range, and has been assessed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because of a declining population. It is estimated to have declined at least 30% since the mid-1980s. The binturong is the only species in the genus

Solid State Glass Batteries

Glass batteries could help move EV performance ahead. Here are the key features

  • Glass batteries use solid glass inside, making them safer. They avoid problems like leaks and fires.
  • These batteries store more energy, so devices last longer. This is great for electric cars.
  • Glass batteries charge quickly, taking just minutes to fill up. This helps people with busy lives.
  • They last a long time, up to 23,000 charges. This means fewer replacements and saves money.
  • Glass batteries work well in hot or cold places. They are useful for gadgets and green energy systems

One issue that this link does not fully address is the use of Lithium, although replacing it with sodium is possible, according to some sources. However, using sodium might not be as effective on the “key” features listed. “Solid-state glass batteries can use sodium. Sodium-ion batteries are a promising alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries, offering safety, cost-effectiveness, and the potential for high energy density. These batteries utilize sodium metal anodes and solid-state electrolytes, which are stable and non-flammable, making them safer and more environmentally friendly. The use of sodium in solid-state glass batteries is supported by recent research advancements that have improved the performance and stability of sodium-based solid-state batteries, bringing them closer to competing with lithium-ion batteries in terms of electrochemical performance.
