5000 year old Cochno Stone to be 3D laser scanned in Scotland

An ancient historic site in Scotland to be revealed for the first time in 40 years to under go 3D laser scans, known as the Cochno Stone.

The Cochno Stone is a large Cup and ring market rock at Auchnacraig, Faifley, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. The Bronze Age stone measuring 42 feet (13 m) by 26 feet (7.9 m) was rediscovered in 1887 by the Rev. James Harvey. It features around 90 carved indentations, considered to be one of the finest sets ofpetroglyphs in Scotland.

The petroglyphs also include a ringed cross and a pair of four toed feet. Researchers are now using cutting edge 3D imaging technology to record the ancient artwork to allow them to study it in more detail.

Mysterios 'fire in the sky' captured over Louisiana

A light in the late night sky north of Dale Noel's home stopped him in his tracks last Sunday night.

''When I seen the light, it was like flying and the light was pulsing like it was getting brighter and brighter the further it was getting,'' he said.

He ran to tell his fiance he thought a plane's wing was on fire, but returned outside to an empty sky.

''We both looked up in the sky and we saw the same thing. It made the same pass, so we started recording it, '' he said, ''It was lightning up, lightning up, lightning up and then it blew up in the same spot the other one did. And then a third one came by.''
''We were just kind of freaking out, like what is this, what is this?'' Noel said.

Noel took the debate to his Facebook page where some friends suggested drones, others suggested flares. They also checked with the American Meteor Society who said it wasn't necesarilly a meteor, or fireball, but it could have been space debris. We checked with NASA, who said it may not have been either.

''The problem you run into is that it's too slow for a meteor and you don't get multiple pieces of space debris burning up in the same area in the same night,'' said Dr. Bill Cooke, lead of the NASA Meteoroid Environmental Office.

Dr. Cooke said there were no other sightings reported in the state that night with them, or with the military's Space Command, which monitors space debris.
