The Roswell Saucer Crash Wasn't the Only Unusual Event in New Mexico in 1947
This article delves into a lesser-known event from 1947 that predates the famous Roswell incident. It references a front-page story from The Waco Times-Herald dated January 1, 1947, which reported the baffling disappearance of a 'V-2 WARHEAD' that vanished at an altitude of 114 miles. The sub-header noted that 2000 pounds of metal were traveling at 2400 miles an hour when last traced. The article quotes scientists and war department ordnance experts expressing concern over this unprecedented event. Speculation at the time included the possibility of the warhead going beyond the pull of gravity and landing somewhere, or even the concept of 'space platforms' as refueling or transfer points for travelers. Searching parties were deployed to look for the lost warhead. The article concludes by noting that knowledge of space technology in 1947 was primitive, but the story raises many questions about activities in New Mexico during that era.
The Neutrino Has Mass
This section reports on a major scientific discovery: the neutrino, a subatomic particle previously believed to have no mass, has been found to weigh approximately one ten-millionth the mass of an electron. The discovery was made by scientists using the Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector in Japan. The article highlights the profound implications of this finding, stating it delivers a 'devastating blow' to the 'Standard Model' of particles and forces, which is the consensus theory governing nuclear energy, design of transistors and lasers, and space exploration. While it's too early to determine the full impact on future technology and space travel, the discovery is presented as an opportunity for a new path of scientific inquiry.
