THE HUM OF THE TAOS

THE HUM OF THE TAOS

The Hum is a name often given to widespread reports of a persistent and invasive low-frequency humming, rumbling, or droning noise not audible to all people. Hums have been reported all over the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. They are sometimes named according to the locality where the problem has been particularly publicized, such as the "Taos Hum" in New Mexico and the "Windsor Hum" in Ontario. The Hum does not appear to be a single phenomenon. Different causes have been attributed, including local mechanical sources, often from industrial plants, as well as manifestations of tinnitus or other biological auditory effects.

Chilean Blob

Chilean Blob The Chilean Blob was a large mass of tissue found on Pinuno Beach in Los Muermos, Chile in July 2003. It weighed 13 tonnes (14 tons) and measured 12 metres (39 ft) across. The Chilean Blob made headlines around the world because biologists were initially unable to identify it, and were speculating that it was the remains of some species of giant octopus previously unknown to science. In June 2004, DNA found in the blob was found to match that of a sperm whale: the blob was a large mass of adipose tissue, the partial remains of a dead sperm whale.

Lakes In Badain Jaran Desert

Lakes In Badain Jaran Desert A desert oasis is usually a sight to behold, providing a welcome respite from the apparently unending stretch of brown sand. The Badain Jaran Desert, which stretches from Mongolia to China, contains a total of 140 permanent lakes dotting its dry landscape. The lakes, which are located between sand dunes, are said to have originated from subsurface springs fed by precipitation from the nearby mountain's snowy peaks, despite the fact that these ranges are hundreds of kilometers distant.
