Wed, 6 August 2008
This impressive thunderstorm tore through Chicago's Jefferson Park neighborhood late Monday, August 4, 2008. I recorded this from the relative safety of my apartment building's lobby. That big tree wasn't as fortunate -- it was struck by lightning, but I didn't catch that on camera. Other neighborhoods got slammed, too. See more storm videos on Flickr. There's also some especially cool video over on Andrew Huff's ME3DIA. By the way, this is why I'm 100 percent sure that aliens are not visiting Earth in flying saucers. Look at how many folks captured high-quality images of the storm. Many UFO sightings are supposedly witnessed by throngs of believers -- or at least of those who want to believe. So, where are all the high quality UFO and alien abduction videos? Or, rather, where is the footage that doesn't look fake? ChicagoScope feedback line: 312-683-5272.
