More than 200 UFO sightings reported in Arizona in 2019
Discs, triangles, lights and fireballs lasting anywhere from seconds to more than an hour are some of the objects that have been reported in the sky.
Rivers where you can still find gold
There's still gold in these hills
The gold rushes of the 19th century have long since ended, but there are still plenty of places you can hunt for the precious metal using a shovel, pan, metal detector and more. In fact, recreational gold mining is a pastime these days for many people, and for good reason: the largest nugget ever found in California was discovered by an amateur. Here are some key locations worldwide that you can still prospect for the yellow metal – you never know, you may get lucky and strike it rich.

ROADTRIPPING USA | week 2| Nevada, Arizona, Utah
Here is another week of our adventures while roadtripping around the U.S.A. If you haven't seen the previous video click on the link and it will take you there
Anyways.. the states we visited so far are California (previous video), Arizona, Nevada and Utah. We first drove down to Las Vegas from L.A, which took quite much longer than we had expected so the arrival time was late. We spend a whole evening in Las Vegas until 2am when we decided to go back to our camping ground. The next day we started our drive down down to the Grand Canyon! A place I have always wanted to visit. On the way we also stopped to see the hoover dam (which I realize that I pronounce wrong in the video). I thought it was superfunny what a big deal they make out of it. There are toilets, a gift shop, monouments and a whole museum dedicated to the dam.
Now to the Grand Canyon.. It is crazy how much more different it is than I had imagined. I thought you have to take a hike there and that the canyon is more like a canyon (who big walls and water in between). The canyon is more open space and it is layers on layers (huuuuge). You don't have to hike there, although you can hike through the canyon and down to the river, but to just see what we saw you only need to take a shuttle bus. The shuttle buses go all around the park and take you to different locations if you can't walk. We prefered to walking the distances and take the bus down to sunset point in the end of the day. You see more animals if you walk and have a less crowded view, although since it is so large the view points are not that crowded. I walked close to some edges, but with some you have to be very careful since the rock is very brittle. The walking path is also paved all around so wheelchair friendly for those of you who need it (Y).
After the Grand Canyon we spend a day in Canyonlands- needles. It was nice with beautiful scenary, but I would rather spend more time in Arches and Moab town then seeing canyonlands. So If you are on a short schedule this is a part you could easily skip. Then after canyonlands we hit the road again and went to arches national park. The park is absolutely beautiful and there is so much to see. You can do both long and short hikes and spend as little as just some hours up to days there. We started with driving down the whole scenic route and then do the different arches that are easily acceseble from the street there. The visitor center doesn't open until 9am (until 4pm), so if you need a map I suggest you get it the day before. It is better to start the day early in summer months since it gets so hot after 10/11am. We spend two days in arches and although I wish we would've gone there for sunset, on the next day we started with going to delicate arch. Probably the most famous and beautiful one. You have to go on a little 3,2km long hike to get there and the way is pretty easy. If you go there for sunset the arch turns orange, purple and all kinds of colours, giving you a beautiful light show.
Now in the next video we will be going more around Utah to see Monument Valley, capitol reef park and more... So if you want to see that stay tuned ;)
Other than that thank you for watching and if you like what you see there is that red SUBSCRIBE buttom that makes me happy when people push it. So you know.. you could do it too, why not kinda?
CAMPGROUNDS
Las Vegas- KOA campground. Supernice, they have a pool to cool of in, a little shop, it is not too far from town (not walking distance tho), good wifi, all included for a VAN and super cheap for what it offers. 28$/night (4 people and a camperVAN) this price is if you have a 10% discount witch we get by renting our van from Cruise America.
Grand Canyon- if you intend to stay at a campingground make sure to book it in advance. We go more YOLO and didn't know when we are where so we slept wild. There are plenty od spots just outside the park, one of them even marked as a wild camp. It is inbetween trees, for free and all you need. (I prefer wild camps to be honest)
Arches National park- KOA Moab.
To be honest I don't remember it much so it can't have been anything special. I think it had a pool, okay wifi and it wasn't too cheap. around 40$/night with our 10% off coupon.
Have an AWESOME weeek people, see ya! :D
NOTICE
The engcon is just a joke, not an actual commercial. My dad works there sometimes and has these sunnies I always laugh at. I did not get paid for it whatsoever.
The informative video is filmed in the arches national park information center. I asked a ranger if I could film and publish it in my video and he said it was fine. Please don't get me in any trouble here.

Mod In Progress: Otis Elevonic 311 High-Speed Elevators at Paris Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV.
Filmed on June 6, 2018: This is the hotel where we are staying at (room tour will be uploaded in the next few days or weeks). I cannot believe these elevators are getting modernized! They are only 19 years old. VERY shocked when I found this out! But anyways, here is a better HD take on these amazing elevators I filmed back in 2009. The cabs and the first floor elevator lobby are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! I LOVE French style design on both the cabs and in the elevator lobby on the first floor! As you saw on the mid-rise elevator bank, the cabs have been redone and the COP was replaced, and only one elevator was in the process of being finished The call stations are replaced only in the lobby. I hate to say that this was quite a cheap, pointless modernization. The low-rise & high-rise banks were not touched yet. Before I started filming, I have met up with 4-6 Schindler technicians,and one of them told me that these are Elevonic 311 is why I stated in the title (yes, I know it sounds rather weird as it was unheard of on YouTube). As for the high-rise elevator bank, you could see that one of the Schindler technicians was during a monitoring test on one of the elevators at the top floor when I arrived.
This also features a double bonus for this video! I got to snap a quick footage of the elevator car door operator and into the shaft itself, and I also got my Otis Series 4 micro-touch button! A BIG THANK YOU to Schindler for this AMAZING treat!!!! :D :D :D With that said, enjoy the video of these once most beautiful French-style retrofitted elevators before they are in the destruction of modernization. Installed in 1999, to be modernized in later 2018/early to mid 2019.

COME ALONG FOR A CAMEL RIDE!
A couple of years ago before I started YouTube, some friends and I went for a camel ride out in the desert of Nevada.
In 1856, the United States Army experimented with the importation of Middle Eastern camels. They could carry more than horses or mules, and had the ability to survive without much water. Lieutenant Edward Beale and roughly 30 camels cross the Colorado River into present-day Nevada in 1857. Camels brought salt to Mills in both Virginia City and Austin, Nevada. The animals generally proved effective, but operators had to avoid pads with sharp rocks and they found that camels frightened horses. In 1875 the Nevada legislature prohibited camels on public highways to safeguard horse traffic.
But the experiment eventually failed and the Army sold what stock survived however some camels were set free. For decades, various people throughout the West reported seeing the wandering beasts throughout Nevada and the Southwest.
Camel races have been held in Virginia City, Nevada every year since 1959.

Top 5 Meteorite Falling Caught on Camera
The fall of the meteorite in the Northeastern
Thousands of residents of the northeastern United States on the night of May 18, 2016 watched, meteorite fall. His flight was recorded by several surveillance cameras and DVRs.
Meteorite, according to preliminary data, did not exceed one meter in diameter and fell in a wooded area in the north-west of Maine. The bright track left by meteorite falls in the atmosphere was also seen in the states of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and in Canada.
At the US Naval Observatory in Washington, Associated Press reported that, judging by the brightness of the meteorite, it was about the size of a refrigerator when it entered the atmosphere and could completely burn in the atmosphere.
Nevertheless, the Minerals Museum in Maine announced a reward of $ 20,000 to anyone who can find a piece of a meteorite weighing at least a kilogram.
Chelyabinsk meteorite falls in Russia
February 15, 2013 residents of Chelyabinsk observed a meteor shower, which was the result of the destruction of a small (19 m diameter) asteroid in the Earth's atmosphere. The trajectory of the fall of the asteroid was such that it was not detected by the instruments, and therefore the appearance of the meteorite, which later became known as Chelyabinsk, was unexpected for all. Fortunately, Chelyabinsk meteorite did not bring any special destruction (except for the shocked glass).
The fall of the meteorite in the Midwest of America
Usually meteorite passing through the orbit of the Earth does it at such an angle that we only have a few seconds to see them. But in 2010, the inhabitants of the entire Midwest of America observed an unusual phenomenon: an unknown heavenly body flew with a noise and a roar in the sky. Ufologists immediately ranked him for UFOs and put on hats made of foil. Astronomers also believe that this is Meteorite, a breakaway from the flow of Virginis.
Meteorite in Argentina
Most often meteorite, which can be seen from the surface of the Earth, are white, but on July 30, 2015, a green meteorite with an orange tail swept over Buenos Aires. It could also be observed in Uruguay and Brazil. The reason for the unusual color of the meteorite can be in the gases formed as a result of its braking about the earth's atmosphere, and the green glow - about the high content of copper. As they say, nothing unusual, we differ.
Turkish meteorite
December 13, 2012 near the Turkish city of Ordu meteorite falling. It was fixed by the surveillance camera of one of the institutions. Locals who also observed this phenomenon were somewhat discouraged, since the end of the world from meteorite falling, predicted by Nostradamus, was to happen only on December 21.

U.S. States That Were Once Independent Countries
Of the 50 states that make up the current Untied States of America, four were once independent nations of their own.
#1 The California Republic (Bear Flag Republic)
#2 The Vermont Republic
#3 The Republic of Texas
#4 The Kingdom of Hawaii
Aside from the four independent countries discussed in this video, that are now states, a number of other governments have established themselves on lands that are now part of the United States. Native American peoples, including the well organized Iroquois Confederacy, and the European colonial empires of Spain, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Russia, and Denmark, all possessed lands at some time that are now part of the United States as well. The Watauga Association, the State of Muskogee, and the Republic of Indian Stream were all small short lived governments established over small portions of U.S. territory during the late eighteenth or early nineteenth centuries. None of these three governments were ever officially recognized, however. During the American Civil War, the Confederate States of America formed in rebellion between 1861-1865. The Confederate states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas all had very short lived republics during the early months of their secession in 1861 before joining together as a single nation as well.
Wonderful Westinghouse! Traction Elevators-Sweeney Hall-SJSU-San Jose, CA
Of course, no college campus is complete without a little Innovation and a bunch of disappointing mods. This is a really weird building. Part of it is sort of an L shape, and then there's a little part that's separate. The elevators and the stairway are in a separate part and connect to the two parts of the building with bridges (See fire map). These were old Westinghouse elevators that got modded with Innovation Pinnacle (don't argue with me on this. I have Pinnacle in my collection, and the tech who gave it to me confirmed that). This mod sucks!

7 Giant Human Skeletons Ever Found
It has been reported that the world-renowned and highly trusted Smithsonian Institution was allegedly accused in a lawsuit of covering up the existence of giant humans in our past. Some of their skulls may have had horns, others double rows of teeth! Some supposedly had six fingers and elongated heads and carried giant weapons. According to the report, a ruling by the US Supreme Court is what forced the world’s largest museum to release classified documents from its early 19th century archives, going far in proving the allegations.
The evidence, along with testimony from Smithsonian whistle-blowers, was said to show that thousands of giant skeletons between 183 and 366 centimeters (6–12′) tall were dug up all over the United States—only to be destroyed under direct orders from high up in Smithsonian management. Indeed, a surprising number of reports of giant skeletons do exist in old newspapers. All the same, you might want to take these claims with a bag of salt. Here are 7 Giant Human Skeletons Ever Found.

The Mysterious ANCIENT GIANTS Who RULED America
In recent years, due to the number of mysterious findings around the world supporting the idea that giants walked on earth a long, long time ago, more and more people are seriously considering the possibility that these gigantic human-like creatures are more than just mythological beings.

Hole N the Rock House in Utah
Near Moab Utah is a home carved from the red cliff. 5000 Square feet of underground home.
from the web:
Travelers along U.S. Highway 191 in Southwestern Utah are amazed to discover this historic 5,000 square foot home which began taking shape almost a century ago by the Christensen family. What began as a small alcove for the young Christensen boys to sleep in at night grew into a man-made engineering marvel 20years in the making. A fireplace with a 65 foot chimney, 14 rooms arranged around huge pillars and a deep bathtub built into the rock delight visitors who visit this most unusual home in the dessert. Original furnishings, Albert's paintings, Gladys's doll collection and many of the tools used to create this home remind you of the past.
In a 12 year period Albert excavated 50,000 cubic feet of sandstone from the rock. During this time he completed his famous painting Sermon on the Mount and his sculpture of Franklin D. Roosevelt on the face of the rock above his home.
When Albert died in 1957, the home was not complete. Gladys's in keeping with his wishes & lifelong dreams continued to develop the property, opening a gift shop and giving tours of her home until she passed away in 1974. Gladys is laid to rest next to Albert in a small cove within the rock near the home.

If you look closely you can see the Impulse key panel where someone covered up the screen. From seeing other videos they replaced the awesome LED indicator to a boring digital indicator. I like the way these elevators are laid out.
