Space Ball Drops The Ground of Namibia

Another mysterious ball again fell out from the sky since sometime 20 years ago. It is a large metallic ball fell on a remote grassland in Namibia a country in southern Africa.

The hollow ball with a circumference of 1.1 metres was found near a village in the north of the country some 750 kilometres from the capital Windhoek, according to police forensics director Paul Ludik.

Locals had heard several small explosions a few days beforehand, he said.

With a diameter of 35 centimetres, the ball has a rough surface and appears to consist of "two halves welded together".

It was made of a "metal alloy known to man" and weighed six kilogrammes, said Ludik.

It was found 18 metres from its landing spot, a hole 33 centimetres deep and 3.8 meters wide.

Several such balls have dropped in southern Africa, Australia and Latin America in the past twenty years, authorities found in an Internet search.

The sphere was discovered mid-November, but authorities first did tests before announcing the find.

Police deputy inspector general Vilho Hifindaka concluded the sphere did not pose any danger.

"It is not an explosive device, but rather hollow, but we had to investigate all this first," he said.

Justin Bieber's Mom Versus Santa Claus

Six more days to go and its going to be the most celebrated birthday of all time, Jesus Christ's birthday. The world knows it as Christmas Day and as young ones are expecting to be waiting for a once saint of famous generosity in 3rd century a.d. that turned out to be every child's most awaited guest, Santa Claus. Since then little children are growing to believe for a figure that is not real. Things have changed now since most parents no longer encouraged their young ones to believe in red suit Christmas icon Santa Claus.

Same thing happened to the teen pop sensation Justin Beiber, said he never believed in Santa Claus. In an early interview with AOL Music he said his mom always told him that that BIG-RED-WHITE Christmas icon isn't real. "This was her logic: She thought if I grew up knowing about Santa then finding out he wasn't real, that it would be like she was lying to me. And then when she told me about God, I maybe wouldn't believe her."

JB's mother is reasonable in keeping his son from disappointment when he grow up realizing Santa as among of those bedtime fairy tales. However, JB's mother is leading to a very crucial point as she is only telling half of the coin. Pattie Mallette, JB's mother at some fundamental level failed to also put in the picture how there can be Santa if there wasn't any. Most importantly, one should scan back Santa's history so a child will never get into confusion in his fragile years.

There isn't a man riding with a red-nosed reindeer coming down the chimney to fill the stockings and telling a child that such man does not exist I think is not bad. But telling half of the story can be a bad thing. Further explanation is essential because things such these are very crucial. On the other hand, this is one good thing of putting Christ back into Christmas.
