Sunspot, more aurora lights. The June sky.

0:00 Speaker 1 Well, today is Sunday. Who do we talk to on Sundays Steve Kates, otherwise known as Doctor Sky, and he brightens up all day by telling us things that expand online. Steve Kates, what do you have in mind today?

0:16 Speaker 2 Well, good morning, John, and good morning to the listeners as we welcome of us to the month of June. You know, John, last week we were talking about and through the month of May, the giant sunspot group that caused the most amazing aurora display in five hundred years that happened on May tenth. Well, guess what. The Sun

0:34 rotates along the equator every twenty five days. So John, that sunspot is back now moving from the left edge of the Sun and it’s still bursting forth with big X players. So stay tuned. We’re not done with that major sunspot group, and it’s unusual that it survived all the way around the Sun. So we’ll be reporting here

0:55 with you and the Cats round Table and the latest updates of how we might be able to see the auroras again.

1:01 Speaker 1 This is Is it still dangerous to be out in the sun for a prolonged the amount of.

1:06 Speaker 2 Time, Well, probably not as much, John as the last report. I mean, the sunspot is not as active, but things could change. But we’ll make sure that we report the accuracy here like we always do.

1:17 Speaker 1 Well, if you know what reported, WABC will report it immediately as breaking news. To protect our listeners.

1:26 Speaker 2 We’ll certainly do that. You know, John, going back about a week or so, we all memorialized, that is, those that gave their lives to our country in Memorial Day. But I got an aviation story. We cover that too.

1:37 And you know, to be an eighth in the aviation world, it said that you have to have at least five quote kills to your record shooting down enemy aircraft. Well, how about this the eighth of aces, Major Richard dick Bong.

1:52 He flew an aircraft called the Lockheed P thirty eight. The Germans called it the fork Pale Devil. He had forty kills John, in his career. But what’s so interesting right now is that his aircraft, the remains of it.

2:05 He didn’t die in this location, but his aircraft that was shot down, believe it, they found it in New Guinea. But what’s so amazing about that, John, Imagine being able to fly those type of piston driven propeller aircraft, those were real heroes. And that’s why I wanted to mention Major Dick Bong, who had forty kills. He’s called the

2:25 Ace of Aces. Isn’t that fascinating stuff?

2:28 Speaker 1 Forty kills? That is a lot. Absolutely, he never got shot down.

2:34 Speaker 2 Though I don’t believe so, and a story that I could tell you really quickly for years, and I still keep in touch with him. The Air Force eight of the entire Vietnam War was General Steve Ridgie, and he didn’t have anywhere near as many kills, but he was doing that in the F four Phantom, another great American

2:52 aircraft during the Vietnam War, and Randy Cunningham also in the Navy version flying the F four. Great tribute to those that gave their lives and of course to American exceptionalism. But John, we move on to the great mystery of the week, and here’s a really strange one this week that I’ve been researching. What are the famous Naska lions.

3:14 Now they have to tell people what this means. In the area of Peru, there happens to be in the high desert, these actual rock formations in the so called desert that have the shape of animals, birds, other, you know, figures in the ground. Some of these things are seven hundred or eight hundred feet long, and it’s thought that

3:34 the Nazca civilizations, of course, that’s flourished they call geoglyphs on the surface between five hundred BC and five hundred AD. Nobody knows why they were put there. Some think they were ceremonial or religious, But John, the other theory goes like this. They also believed that there may have been quote, teachers coming from the sky. And if that’s true, John,

3:57 maybe that maybe has some sort of a connection to extraterrestrial dissertation here on the Earth a long time ago. Still nobody understands the real nature and origin of the Nazca lines. Let’s say you, that’s just unbelievable.

4:11 Speaker 1 Well, I do believe that the anciency from two thousand years ago, four thousand years ago, six thousand years ago did have help from someone. Who that someone is I don’t know, but I do believe it could have been extra terrestrial. It could have been anything. I mean, but hopefully, hopefully me and you will find out before our time passes.

4:42 Speaker 2 Well, John, let’s hope so, and we give the bonus every week and talk about the live sky, and in the mainstream media and legacy media, they’re reporting that on the morning of June third, people who look into the Eastern sky have this planetary parade. Well, always truth here on your show and nothing but it will be an

5:00 alignment of planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. But unfortunately the Nick and I can’t see Urinus or Neptune. So if you’re up early and your skies are clear before the pre summer Saustice, you may get to see an amazing alignment of planets. But I would suggest a pair of binoculars and even equally important, what do we say, John,

5:21 always remember to keep your eyes to the skies. Check us out here on the Doctor Sky Experience, of course proudly on WABC radio dot com, with great information from on astronomy, space, aviation, and weather, and stories like we mentioned of Major Dick Bong of American exceptionalism. As we continue to talk like you do on your shows every moment, truth,

5:42 justice in the American way.

5:45 Speaker 1 God bless However, great weekend and have we got to do some research on what happened last week at Jones Beach where along with the blue angels, a very very fast object went across this across the beach.

6:05 Speaker 2 Absolutely John, more and more of these sightings coming around the world, and of course we’ll be investigating these and many other enigmas that go on in the sky above us. Thank you and have a great Sunday you too,
