On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start out talking about a mysterious incident from the 1969 Apollo 10 mission. Declassified in 2008, NASA tapes reveal the three-man crew heard weird "outer space type music" while orbiting the dark side of the moon. For the entire hour, the astronauts discuss and describe the music, even debating whether to inform NASA command. Then, for decades, robot hand design has tended to favor function over form, drawing from the world of man-made machines rather than intricate biology. Zhe Xu and Emanuel Todorov, from the university’s Department of Computer Science & Engineering, began by laser scanning the hand of an actual human skeleton and using the data to 3D-print artificial bones. Then living tissue will grow over the artificial bones. Next, the talk about how recently an anonymous witness claiming to have seen thousands of files relating to “UFO/ET” projects while working at the Naval Telecommunication Center at NAS Moffett field in the late 80s, says he is going public because his secrecy agreement has expired and he would like the government to disclose what they know on about UFOs and aliens. Then, a team from Endurance Exploration Group used a remotely operated vehicle—or ROV—to recover a glass bottle, a chamber pot fragment, and a piece of china that had been sitting on the seabed some 1,000 feet below the Atlantic Ocean's surface for more than 150 years. It was confirmation that they had discovered the resting place of the SS Connaught, a 370-foot-long steamer that sank April 21, 1860, about 100 miles from Boston. Now, Endurance is formulating a plan to retrieve the Connaught's suspected bounty: millions of dollars in gold coins. After the break the boys get into two really interesting lost or hidden treasures. The Spider Rock Treasure and Forrest Fenn's Treasure. The Spider Rock Treasure starts off by strange discovery of an unusual rock by a man named Stewart who was at the time working on the legendary “Spider Rock” Spanish gold burial in the cedar brakes country near the Salt Fork of the Brazos River in Stonewall County. The Spider Rock map was dug up by a group of treasure hunters in 1908. A blueprint was made of the “map” since the mysterious rock itself has become lost. Out of all the Spanish treasure tales in the North Texas area, the Spider Rock story is probably the most authentic because of the finding of the buried map, number of relics and ancient smelter sites. Many of the clues the map laid out have been discovered and some of the reputed treasure even found. Forrest Fenn's Treasure is something all together different. This is the tale of a modern day hidden treasure that was intentionally buried by the Millionaire. Thanks for listening to Expanded Perspectives, have a great week!
