Project Moby Dick
The Cold War’s Least Believable Surveillance Strategy
In
1956, the United States launched a series of balloons that took
advantage of weather patterns to spy on the USSR. They went up in
Europe, glided over the Soviet Union, and were intercepted over Japan,
where planes would extend hooks to grab the cameras from them in
mid-air. What could possibly go wrong?And if the Air Force thought that the Soviets wouldn't notice the balloons, they were sorely mistaken. Read about Project Moby Dick at Atlas Obscura.Still, even the most optimistic assessments admitted that there was a possibility that some of the balloons would veer wildly off course. To aid in recovery, a cartoon and multilingual placard was included, encouraging them to be brought to U.S.-allied bases for a reward.
“THIS BOX CAME FROM THE SKY
IT IS HARMLESS
IT HAS WEATHER DATA IN IT
NOTIFY THE AUTHORITIES
YOU WILL RECEIVE A REWARD IF YOU
TURN IT IN AS IT IS”

Baby Romeo Meets Baby Juliet
On
Saturday afternoon at Coastal Carolina Hospital in Bluffton, South
Carolina, proud parents Morgan and Edwin Hernandez welcomed their baby
Romeo to the world. 18 hours and 8 minutes later, Christiana and Allan
Shifflett in the room next door welcomed a baby girl that they named ...
you guessed it, Juliet!
Both parents had picked their babies names earlier in their pregnancies and didn't know about each other until they met in the hospital. Photographer Cassie Clayshutle took photos of the babies and shared it on Facebook with their parents' permission - the post has since gone viral.
The two star-crossed babies already had a head full of hair and Internet fame :) View more of the cute babies photos over at Clayshutle's Facebook page.
