We're heading home from the beach today, so this is an abbreviated posting:

Elvis Presley made his radio debut when Memphis, Tenn., station WHBQ played his first recording for Sun Records, "That's All Right" on this date, July 7, 1954.




Remember it's Richard Starkey birthday today. And all he has to show for it is a photograph.

July 7, 1456 -
A retrial verdict acquits Joan of Arc of heresy 25 years after her death. The pile of ashes that was Joan was unsurprisingly silent upon hearing the news.



On July 7, 1947, something crashed and was recovered near Roswell, New Mexico. This 'recovery' has become the subject of intense speculation, rumor and questioning. There are widely divergent views on what actually happened and passionate debate about what evidence can be believed. The United States military maintains that what was recovered was a top-secret research balloon that had crashed. Many UFO proponents believe the wreckage was of a crashed alien craft and that the military covered up the craft's recovery. The incident has turned into a widely-recognized and referred to pop culture phenomenon, and for some, Roswell is synonymous with UFOs. It likely
ranks as the most famous alleged UFO incident.



Remember, the Truth is out there.

And so it goes.
