On June 24, 1947, pilot Kenneth Arnold saw nine unusual, boomerang-shaped objects flying rapidly near Mount Rainier. He calculated their speed by observing how quickly they moved between mountain peaks, and the media soon began calling these objects “flying saucers” because of his description. This sighting sparked many similar reports nationwide that summer. The U.S. Air Force collected statements about the incident and filed it away as one of the earliest UFO cases.

Discovered in 1898 by a farmer named Olof Öhman near Kensington, Minnesota, the stone is a slab of greywacke with runic writing that dates back to 1362. Experts have studied the stone many times, looking at the language, the style of the runes, and how it has aged. It’s currently on display at the Runestone Museum in Alexandria, Minnesota. The main question surrounding the stone is whether it was carved by Vikings in the Middle Ages or by Scandinavian immigrants much later.

Jennifer Kent has quickly become known for her powerful and unsettling films. Her 2014 film, ‘The Babadook,’ was a critical success and introduced a now-iconic monster. She followed that with ‘The Nightingale,’ a harsh but thought-provoking exploration of how violence repeats itself. Kent’s movies are skillfully made, using sound and camera angles to build suspense, and often deal with difficult emotions like grief and trauma, portraying them as very real and frightening forces.

In German folklore, the Alp is a creature believed to cause the feeling of being trapped during a nightmare. It was thought to sit on people’s chests while they slept, draining their life force. Alps were considered shape-shifters, often appearing as animals like cats, dogs, or snakes, or even as small men wearing special cloaks. People traditionally tried to ward them off by placing objects like brooms, shoes, or knives near the bed, or by turning their pillows. This creature is also linked to the experience of feeling unable to move or breathe while sleeping, which folklore explained as the Alp’s doing.

Link is blessed by the gods with Courage, a power that protects him from dark magic and allows him to face dangers that would defeat most heroes. This divine gift connects him to Princess Zelda and the villain Ganon, forming the complete Triforce. Courage often appears when Link needs it most, giving him the strength to continue even when things seem hopeless. It also explains why Link appears again and again throughout the series – he’s a single, heroic soul reborn across time.

Before becoming a leading man, Brad Pitt had a few uncredited appearances in movies during the late 1980s. You can see him briefly at a party in ‘Less Than Zero’ and in a reception scene in ‘No Way Out.’ He also made a quick appearance in a beach scene in ‘Hunk.’ These small roles came just before he started getting bigger parts and becoming well-known.
