"Girl in Pool" uranium glass pin tray by Heinrich Hoffman, Czechoslovakia, 1928.


Uranium glass reached its peak popularity from the 1880s through the 1930s, particularly in Europe and America. This distinctive glass type, often referred to as Vaseline glass due to its similarity to petroleum jelly in appearance, contains uranium oxide which gives it its characteristic yellowish-green color. In the early 20th century, particularly during the Art Deco period, artists and glassmakers frequently employed uranium glass due to its luminous quality and striking visual effects under certain lighting conditions.

Uranium glass like this contains low levels of uranium oxide (2-25%), emitting alpha/beta radiation at about 4 mrem/year—roughly 1% of average annual exposure. It's safe to handle and display, but avoid using for food/drink to prevent any leaching. Glows under UV, not harmful under normal use.

August 3, 1970: A Hawaii-based Navy P3-A Orion, BuNo 152159 belonging to Patrol Squadron 17 (VP-17) flying from Nellis AFB, crashed near Searchlight, Nevada. All 10 on board were killed in the crash. The cause has never been determined, but is believed to be a victim of mother nature... ironically a combination of "lightning" and Wind shear phenomenon. The historical marker is located by the Searchlight Museum and Community Center.

The Barbers Point plane flew a cross country training mission to Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.

IT WAS RETURNING to San Diego for a night flight to Barbers Point when the crash occurred. The antisubmarine warfare plane apparently was struck by lightning.

The Navy said the Barbers Point plane, which is specially built to track submarines, was flown to Nevada to give the crew cross-country navigational training.

Such training is not available in the Islands.

Antisubmarine aircraft from Barbers Point are deployed continually to the Aleutians, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Southeast Asia for coastal operations near mountainous terrain.

ANOTHER REASON for the trip to San Diego, a spokesman said, was to drop off naval personnel planning to attend special schools located in the San Diego area.

Navy Gives More Details of Crash that Killed 10 (interesting history page with photos of debris recovered 35 years later)

I once flew on a Lockheed P3-C Orion from Naval Air Facility Atsugi to Kadena Air Base Okinawa. It was a very unpleasant flight (froze my ass off) and very unpleasant sticky arrival (100F degrees with 100% humidity). 3 hours of body shock trauma. Course, I was only 20 at the time so recovered quickly, but NEVER flew on one again.



August 3, 1977: THE SPY WHO LOVED ME was released in the United States. Underwater scenes of James Bond's Lotus Esprit submarine were filmed using a custom-built "Wet Nellie" sub piloted by a former U.S. Navy SEAL Don Griffin. After filming was complete, the sub was placed in a storage unit for ten years where it eventually was forgotten. It was rediscovered when the contents of the unit were bought for less than $100 at an auction. Decades later at another auction, the price paid: £550,000 in 2013 by Elon Musk.

"Wet Nellie" is named in reference to Little Nellie, an autogyro featured in the James Bond film You Only Live Twice, which was itself named after actress and comedian Nellie Wallace.

Who is shutting down the free internet and to what end?
Australia’s eSafety Commissioner was appointed in 2017 for a five-year term and reappointed for a further five-year term in January 2022. This person was never voted for, by 2027 they could help shut down the free internet across the Five Eyes and Europe in supposed "democracies".

Covert Projects Moon Dust & Blue Fly
For years perhaps decades, the US Air Force ran secret teams out of Holloman Air Force Base to recover objects from space and on the ground, but they weren’t just chasing satellites. Declassified files mention "foreign space vehicles of unknown origin."

Translation: UFO crash retrieval units... long before today’s "whistleblowers".
The unknown origin is/was likely Soviet or Chinese or maybe Nazis hardware.
