Spam completely unsourced images and if nobody wants to waste their time sleuthing and rebutting every single one of them, then that must mean ancient aliens are obviously responsible.

My name is Mike Walters and I’m an amateur geologist. I often come across geodes. A geode can form in any cavity within a rock, but the most common method for geode formation is via gas bubbles that form in cooling ash beds.

The bubble gets “frozen” in place when the silica rich ash/dust hardens. The partial or complete filling of the bubble may occur immediately or even thousands to millions of years later and can encompass a variety of different minerals.

I have opened thousands of these and have found beautiful crystal and mineral deposits. However I have never found anything like this: it appears to be a polished metal of manmade origin (close-up above, full image below).

We use a special cutting disc to open the stones. I noticed something odd with the stone; the cutting disc would not cut through, I had to cut circumferentially around the Geode to get it opened and I found this object. I used sulfuric acid to dissolve the remaining minerals to free the object. Unfortunately the remaining Geode was dissolved, however, the metal object is intact. I plan to have a doctor friend take some x-rays of the object.

The former director of the Geological Survey of India believes he has found the ultimate evidence of a 1.7 million-year-old man-made bridge which indicates mankind existed on Earth millions of years ago and had the ability to erect ‘sophisticated’ structures long before mainstream experts suggest.

This, however, goes against everything we’ve been told since according to mainstream scientists, humans have been on Earth roughly 200,000 years, but the alleged bridge throws everything that scientists believed true into questions.

The alleged strcuture—which is allegedly even visible from space— occupies a relatively large area stretching from India to Sri Lanka.

Curiously, ancient Hindu legends suggest that King Rama, a Hindu deity built a bridge of similar proportions more than a million years ago.

One particular painting which has created a hot online debate can be found on the walls of the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Georgia, where a painting of the Crucifixion of Christ shows strange objects that immediately stand out.

The painting shows the image of Christ crucified with people gathering around him, but the strange objects wich have sent many UFO enthusiasts into a frenzy are two mystery objects located on the top right and left corners of the paintings which are eerily similar to ‘flying discs’.

But, what sort of technology could have been present on Earth and flown across the skies thousands of years ago?

Did the artists who painted this masterpiece really depict flying discs? Or whats he trying to portray something entirely different? The opinions are mixed.

INCREDULOUS BELIEF OF THE PUBLIC

In the existence of such animals, and through a fear that the boys might pick it up and I call it one of Wood's fish stories you understand? We-Where and when did you see the sight, and what was the appearance of the worm? Colonel- It was about twelve months ago this summer, quite early in the morning -between five and six o'clock— that I first saw this remarkable snake. It was about one third of a mile north from the centre of Long Bridge, and appeared to be sporting in the water, which it agitated violently and lashed into a foam. Its numerous huge coils, as seen above the water, might have been taken for a scrambling group of seals of the "General Grant" or “Ben Butler", of Cliff House notoriety, and that'd what I thought at the time, and why I said not a word. But after a later and more distinct observation, and in view of what I have since heard, I am satisfied that my first spectacle was of a unity in one snakeship of monstrous dimensions. My second and dual(?) view was last month, also quite early in the morning, whilst "1 was coming out to Long Wharf on the earliest morning train. It was in about the same line of observation as my first view; but not more than half so away. I had a good and satisfactory view, when the monster dove underwater and disappeared from sight. It stood as erect from the water as one of the piles in the slips, and in the uniformity of its diameter I would judge its measure to be from 14 to 16 inches. Its

HEIGHT ABOVE THE SURFACE

Of the water was ten to fifteen feet. The head resembled that of a Lizard or bull-frog, and was dazzling black, while the throat was pure white, From the head, just above a lizard shaped mouth, protruded an inch or more a pair of deep black eyes, half as large as ordinary saucers. The body, or so much as I saw was striped in harmonious shades of black and brown, on the back and sides, the stripes running lengthwise, while the belly was almost white. Running down the centre of the back was plain to be seen a sort of fin-like ruffle(?), about four inches in width, as though the cutlets of the animal had been drawn tightly over the belly and side, and pinned back, after the fashion of the day. WE-Well, we must admit your description is curiously interesting; but your recitation, Colonel, reminds us of that familiar “apple story” in which Eve is represented to have been seduced by the devil under the form of a serpent. You say you saw this sea-serpent, or “What is it” stand up like a pile, in a perfectly erect attitude; and since Milton tells us in his “Paradise Lost” that the serpent, before the Temptation and the Fall, moved about in perfectly upright position, we would like to ask if it is your opinion that the serpent you saw was standing erect upon its feet like a sober man? This question is asked in order to arrive at the length of the serpent, for the time and place you saw it the water was at full tide and would have measured in that locality about twenty-five feet. Colonel-I want you to see Dinsmore before this thing goes any further. I will say, however, that I believe Milton was a little off, for an erect mode of progression is utterly incompatible with the structure of a serpent, whose motion is effected by the mechanism of the vertebral column and the multitudinous ribs which, like so many pairs of levers, enable it to move its body from place to place; consequently, had the snakes before the Fall moved in an erect attitude, they must have been formed on a different plan altogether. But, since the fossil serpents hitherto found differ in no essential respect from modern representatives of the order, I must conclude that either Milton greatly erred, or that his printer was drunk. No, sir; I don't believe the serpent I saw was standing erect upon its feet, but that It was wrapt In many coils beneath the surface of the water, and would probably measure 100 feet; but you see Dins…

We interrupted the Colonel at this juncture, cordially and heartily expressing our sincere thanks for the time and information he gave us, and on yesterday afternoon called upon William G. Dinsmore at his drug store, No 1059 Broadway. We informed our friend Dinsmore that we had understood he had on the previous day seen a sea-serpent, and that we wanted the particulars for an item, whereupon he volunteered a description of the animal he had seen, and expressed himself as being satisfied that it was nothing less than a real live sea-serpent, or whatever else such a mammoth specimen of the snake species is called. It is but fair to say that Mr. Dinsmore is one of our pioneers and a most reputable citizen — a forty-niner, and a man who, when he talks, knows what he is talking about, and who doesn't talk much for fun, His description of the serpent was essentially the same as that given by Col. Wood, who, we afterward Informed Mr Dinsmore, had first given us the item.

THE PLAIN VIEW OF THE SERPENT

That Mr. Dlnsmore had, was while it was swimming along with the rapidity of a steam-tug, near the old ferry landing, or Long Bridge. Its head was raised about four feet out of the water, and at intervals be could see a curviture in its huge body at a distance not less than twenty five or thirty fret from its head. After Mr. D's description we informed him that Col. Wood had his own reasons for wishing his name not to appear before the public in this connection, and that we didn't much like to deal with this hitherto somewhat fabulous subject without being permitted the free use of names of reference of responsible and prominent citizens as a sort of guarantee for the truth of our report. Mr. D. saw at once the justness and consistency of our request, and consented to the free use of his name, and also referred us to Judge Shearer, who, he said, had seen the serpent as he had seen it. We then bade him a thankful adieu and called upon Judge Shearer, father of Lewis Shearer, the Republican candidate for Third District Judge at the late election. We found the Judge in his law office over the Union National Gold Bank, and promptly introduced ourself and announced the object of our errand. This venerable looking man, whoso hair is turned white, slowly took off his spectacles, and, after carefully wiping, replaced them upon the bridge of his nose and looked us squarely in the face. He said: "Young man, I am getting quite old, and my eyes are growing somewhat dim, in all of which I plainly see the palsied hand of Time beckoning me to not loiter by life’s wayside to indulge in idle talk or sensational stories. As

THE MATTER OF FACT

I have neither the inclination nor the time to do that." but with regard to the sea serpent seen by Mr. Dlnsmore and myself, and other gentlemen, there can be no question of mistake, young man. The Judge then proceeded with his description of the serpent; but as it was substantially the same as those given above, we will not repeat, but with a truce to this matter, leave the reader to do his or her own speculating on the monstrous worm that we believe lives and moves and has its being in the waters of San Francisco Bay.

THE ORIGINAL SEA SERPENT.

He Plays a Star Engagement With Two Fishermen.

THEIR BOAT DRAGGED FOR MILES:

The Presence of Mind of One of the Men Releases Them From His Clutches Off the Farallone Islands— A Thrilling Experience.

There is no class of people more adventurous or daring in the pursuit of the means for earning a livelihood than the Greek, Austrian and Italian fishermen who daily supply our markets with fish. While the majority of our citizens are sound asleep, these fearless and energetic members of the community are abroad upon the deep with their nets, raking in the finny denizens of the water to supply the markets on the following day. In all sorts of weather, in the dead of night, are they abroad in their shallow craft, skirmishing: around the entrance to the bay and dancing upon the rough waters, of the ocean outside the Heads, pursuing their hazardous occupation. Many and varied are the experiences; they meet with, but it is seldom that they have their experiences recorded, However, two of these adventurous fishmongers met with an incident on Monday morning just before daylight, which, aside from its thrilling and exciting aspect, would go to show that the popular "legend" of the existence of a marine animal known as the sea-serpent is not such a fallacy as most people imagine. An Alta reporter, in the course of his wanderings along the water front yesterday noticed an unusual excitement around the fishermen's wharf near the seawall. Inquires made of several of the habitues of the wharf who can "patter " English soon revealed the cause of it. Two of the youngest members of the fishing colony were being worshipped as the heroes of an exciting series of adventures which came near being fatally disastrous to both. One of the heroes is Luigi Damazetti, an ex-Venetian gondolier, who was once, before he came to those shores, the pride of the Delia Guidecca in his native city, and the other is an Italian whose first name is Luigi and: who claims to have been born in the vicinity of the Porto Piccolo in Naples. His last name is known only to himself and his countrymen. The reporter broke the points of three pencils in trying to make a note of it, such a mixture of consonants and vowels is it composed of. Early Monday morning Pietro and Luigi spread the "leg of mutton " sail of their craft and headed for the fishing grounds. Their small vessel — the Leon Gambetta — was near Fort Point when suddenly they felt a shock. Their boat was almost overturned by it. At the same time the water about them was churned into a white foam as if by the paddlewheel of a ferry-boat. By the dim light of dawn the frightened occupants of the boat saw a huge body working in the water around them. The body seemed to be in a circle around the boat, which was in the center of the disturbed waters. Luigi became frightened and cried out that an evil monster was encircling them. Pietro being of a more practical turn of mind had no superstitious fears, and saw that it was a marine monster of some form which was around them, and by the jerking of the boat he realized that some portion of its anatomy had become mixed up with the net which they were trailing behind.
