Kristy Mariano was inside her Detroit Beach home late last Sunday night when she happened to notice something peculiar outside of her window
Many of her neighbors were outside gawking up at the sky
Mariano went into her backyard to see what all the fuss was about
and they’re dancing around,” she said
and it wasn’t a drone either because it was really
and when it was passing by the clouds kept moving and moving and the stars were so bright...
Mariano said the lights disappeared after exactly 45 minutes
“I never believed in this kind of stuff before
Monroe native Carl Walcz wasn’t really a believer in flying saucers or little green men
But one night this past October while he was taking photos of the moon
he stumbled across something he just could not explain: In just one of his pictures
there appeared a bluish-green object floating in the sky
“I never did see it when I was taking a picture of it,” Walcz said
“For all I know it could be something (that got stuck on) the camera or anything
… But it’s too well-defined to be
and none of my other pictures that I took (had it)
I took like two pictures right in a row of that same shot
and in one of them it was there and the other one it wasn’t.”
Mariano and Walcz are certainly not the first people who have ever claimed to see unidentified flying objects
and they certainly won’t be the last
But those who are dedicated to proving that we are not alone in the universe say it’s getting much more difficult to separate examples of truly inexplicable phenomena from the more common cases of mistaken identity
a nonprofit organization that records and investigates UFO sightings
reported 233 sightings across Michigan in 2020.
and at least one case in Monroe County reported to MIMUFON
were in fact determined to be misidentified Starlink satellites
the satellites live in low Earth orbit and are designed to provide global satellite internet access
“They’ve been sort of the bane of our existence since late 2019
because everybody has reported them as flying saucers…,” Konkolesky explained
but they look really eerie and people report them as UFOs.”
While the annual number of UFO sightings reported to MIMUFON can fluctuate
Konkolesky said his organization averages around 160 reports a year
He attributed the higher number of reports for 2020 to not only the Starlink satellites
but the fact that the pandemic kept people at home more often than normal and left them with more time on their hands to pay attention to the world around them
“One thing I often say is that if the moon disappeared for a month
how many people would notice?” Konkolesky quipped
“I just don’t think people are looking up.”
While there are more logical explanations for a supposed UFO sighting now than ever before
public interest in extraterrestrial life is at an all-time high thanks
to some recent developments at the federal government level
In August the Pentagon formed a task force dedicated to investigating UFOs observed by U.S
And buried in the $2.3 trillion coronavirus relief and government funding bill signed in December by then-President Donald Trump was a stipulation requiring U.S
intelligence agencies to disclose any and all information they have regarding UFOs to Congress within the next six months
a lot of moving parts all moving things in the same direction towards acceptance,” Konkolesky said
“One is the government’s openness about it
… Also the number of planets that are being discovered that are potentially habitable
(That’s) another piece of it as well.”
Neither Mariano nor Walcz’s experiences were reported to MIMUFON
and the organization does not make a determination about an incident without an investigation
But when told about Mariano’s experience specifically
Konkolesky said that it sounded intriguing
“It’s a case worthy of investigation,” he said
“I’d go so far as to say that.”

Ballerina who inspired new works from Kenneth MacMillan and Frederick Ashton and loved to dance with Rudolf Nureyev
Lynn Seymour, who has died aged 83, was one of the greatest dramatic ballerinas of the 20th century. In addition to her career with the Royal Ballet and at Berlin Opera Ballet she danced as a guest with companies including the National Ballet of Canada
Second Stride and Adventures in Motion Pictures
She choreographed several short-lived ballets and was artistic director of the Ballet of Bavarian State Opera
she liked to investigate many dance forms: Matthew Bourne described her as rare in being “completely accepted by the whole world of dance”
Most widely known as a muse for Kenneth MacMillan
Seymour was a dancer of individuality with fine musicality and in all the roles she created left a high benchmark for successors to try to emulate
She was noted for a fluidity that MacMillan in 1980 said made her “movements melt one into the next”
He added that “Lynn is as real as anyone can be on stage when wearing pointe shoes.”
Lynn Seymour and David Wall in Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and JulietBeginning with the small but conspicuous role of the Adolescent in The Burrow
MacMillan thrust Seymour into the limelight in 1958
and two years later created two contrasting roles for her
the Fiancée in Le Baiser de la Fée and the Young Girl in The Invitation
This role was controversial as it showed a girl flattered by an older man’s attention raped and traumatised – on stage at Covent Garden
and make Juliet the driving force of his ballet
It was traumatic for the trio when, at the insistence of the US impresario Sol Hurok, the first performances in London and New York were given to Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev
who had had an abortion to ensure that nothing interfered with her career
That work found its five-waltz form in 1976
Lynn Seymour and Rudolf Nureyev in Giselle with the Ballet of Bavarian State Opera
MunichSeymour was less happy dancing the exposed ballerina roles in classics including Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty
helped her to gain confidence in these roles
She worked with many choreographers and was memorable in Glen Tetley’s Voluntaries (1976) and in Jerome Robbins’s Dances at a Gathering (1970) and his comic The Concert (1975)
In 1981 Seymour retired from the Royal Ballet on the eve of what was to be a comeback after injuries and ill-health
She briefly created the rock dance Seymour’s Circus and was persuaded by Gable
to create Lowry’s Mother in Gillian Lynne’s A Simple Man (1987)
Seymour was born Berta Lynn Springbett – MacMillan advised the name change – in Wainwright, Alberta, Canada
Inspired by seeing Alexandra Danilova in Coppélia and the 1948 film The Red Shoes
she trained with Nicholas Svetlanoff in Vancouver
where she was spotted at an audition in 1953 by Ashton
and offered a scholarship to the Sadler’s Wells ballet school
There her most important teacher was the former Pavlova dancer Winifred Edwards
In 1956 she graduated into the Royal Ballet companies
where she was nurtured by Peter Wright and MacMillan and almost immediately took on soloist roles

In 1963 she married Colin Jones

prioritize businesses that process wood locally
These rules were introduced to limit the export of raw timber outside the European Union

which reduces the profitability of transactions for businesses outside Poland

as confirmed by representatives of the Polish State Forests
Although the regulations aim to support local industry
the additional restrictions on exports outside the EU have further diminished interest in Polish wood
As reported by the Polish state news agency PAP
announced that 38 million cubic meters of timber will be available on the market in 2025
Where and how much timber was exported from Poland in previous years
According to data from the Central Statistical Office (GUS)
