On June 21st, 2017, a couple in Montrose, Colorado witnessed a peculiar occurrence in the sky. According to the witness, as they were watching the sunset from their front deck, the husband noticed bright lights moving in their direction from the west.
The wife hurried inside to grab her phone while her husband grabbed his Canon camera, and together they successfully captured images of the first object.
While taking pictures and videos with our phones, my friend and I witnessed an unusual sight that can be best described as resembling a phoenix or angelic form.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you to CO.AG for the background music!
Frequently Asked Questions
What Can We Learn From Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln once said, "I am slow learning; very quick forgetting."
He understood how important it is to keep learning. He also knew that there would come an occasion when he would need the ability to abandon old habits and learn new ones.
The same holds true for our businesses. No matter how well we plan for success, there will be times when we hit roadblocks and find ourselves stuck in an unproductive rut.
This is why it is so important to constantly learn new ways to grow. If we do nothing else, we must continue to learn, even after we reach the pinnacle of success.
Lincoln was a good example of the right attitude. Lincoln understood that he could be more efficient in his business but that he couldn't quit learning.
There are two types. Those who stay busy and those who stay smart.
Those who stay active focus on growing their business. They spend their time on product development and marketing, as well as customer service.
They may feel like they've accomplished something meaningful, but often they're missing the mark. Unless these entrepreneurs are also focused on staying smarter, they won't achieve sustainable growth.
What is the difference between successful entrepreneurs and average entrepreneurs? The ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances.
Successful entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to improve the products and services they offer when faced with difficulties.
However, the average entrepreneur will stick with outdated methods that do not work. They won't change until their business is destroyed.
For success, you need to be skilled in both adaptation and self-reflection.
What are three lessons you can learn about history?
There are numerous examples throughout history that demonstrate how we can learn and improve from our mistakes. These lessons can be applied today to business problems and used as opportunities for growth.
The past has taught us that there is always a better way. You will always find someone who thinks outside of the box and takes chances that make them stand out.
History also shows that sometimes it's the underdogs who triumph. Look back at the times when an underdog won.
Look back on the past and learn from it. Learn from others' successes and failures.
These lessons will help improve your success rate.
What is the most important thing you should know about history?
There is no easy answer to this question. Learning is about three things. We must first realize that knowledge is power. Second, we must recognize that knowledge is cumulative. The third is to be aware of how quickly knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. It empowers us to make better choices and improve our lives. If we had all the information, it wouldn't be difficult to make decisions. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
Knowledge, although it is power, is also cumulative. This means that we add knowledge to our brains every time we learn something. As we get smarter, our brains become more sophisticated. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now look at the third. While knowledge is cumulative, it doesn't stay static for very long. Information is constantly changing. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. There are always new discoveries.
Technology allows us to quickly access knowledge, and is crucial for our culture. Technology allows you to store massive amounts of data in digital format and share them with millions of people all over the world.
Globalization has influenced the way we look at knowledge, in addition to technology. Globalization is the process of ideas and products spreading across borders. Because of globalization, knowledge is now accessible everywhere.
Internet access allows anyone to find information from any part of the world. Anyone can read books, watch movies, listen to music, play video games, and surf the web. All of these activities require knowledge.
Knowledge is becoming more available, but it is also becoming more niche. You can find thousands of websites that offer advice on subjects such as finance, health, business, sports, and travel. These websites offer information on almost every topic you can think of.
You'll find only a few sites that offer automotive-related services or products if your goal is to purchase a car online. Instead of thousands of sites covering every possible topic, there will be only a handful of sites that are focused on cars.
Because experts in certain fields can share and create valuable knowledge, this is why specialization is important. Experts often have a deep knowledge of a particular area. Experts can also produce content of high quality that is targeted to their particular audience.
This specialization is good news for consumers because they don't need to search through tons of useless information. Instead, consumers can narrow their search to a select few websites that contain lots of useful information.
Experts also benefit from specialization because they can build strong businesses around their expertise. If someone purchases a book, they expect the author to be an expert in his field and to present a clear and concise explanation. He wants to feel confident that the author is able to convey his message.
An expert who does not specialize risks losing out to potential customers who expect him be knowledgeable.
The scope of specialization doesn't stop at one area. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. We might be an accountant, a lawyer, a doctor, or a teacher. But we're also likely to be a parent, spouses, friends, and fans.
Specialization is so common that some experts argue that it's impossible to succeed without being an expert in several different things.
So, how do you become a specialist in multiple areas? You can do it by practicing. It takes practice to master a skill. Once you've made progress, keep going until people are able to recognize your knowledge.
Today, entire industries are dedicated to helping others achieve their goals. Some courses, workshops, seminars, conferences, and even schools teach people how to gain knowledge quickly.
What are some lessons learned from history?
These are the three most important lessons that history has taught us. First, to truly change the world, one must take responsibility for it. The second is to ensure that people are ready to accept change in their lives. Third, the future must be better if you want to change it.
The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. One is to fight for it; the other is to create it. If you fight for it you lose sight on why you started to fight.
It is impossible to control how people respond to your ideas. However, it is possible to control how you present them. You'll inevitably fail if you set out to convince someone of something. If you try to convince someone to do something, you will fail.
Great movements were born out of an idea that was realized and then taken action. It doesn't matter if you're trying to create change or react to it. These are the rules that will help you make an impact.
The second lesson is the fact that we all have the power to make our lives better. We can either wait for our lives to happen to us, or we can choose to make them happen. This means that it is up to us to decide how we want our lives to be. Do we wait for someone else to permit us to live? Or do we want to take charge of our destiny?
I believe we are living in a golden era. There is more opportunity than ever, which makes it exciting. It's exciting that people feel empowered and able to create their futures.
It also presents a problem. It's hard to know what you want.
Let's take, for example, the desire to purchase a house. Or you could just sit back and wait for someone to give you a gift card to Home Depot. You can also ask yourself: "What would my dream job be?" Then, look for a job that lets you do it. Next, apply for financing.
Let's suppose you want to travel the globe. You might ask yourself, "Where do I want to go?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. The final step is to book a flight.
Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. If that were the case, you would probably do one of those things anyway. This is how you can increase your chances for getting what you want. This may seem absurd, but it works.
The third lesson is the ability to always improve the future, regardless of what happens next. This is because it's simple. Our choices affect who and what we become.
Use history to your advantage, to learn from other people's failures and successes and to keep improving until success.
You're already behind if you don't think you have anything to offer the world. You must believe you are better than you think you are.
You don't need to know everything in order to start. Start small and move on. Reflect on the lessons that you've taken from your experiences throughout your life. What have your failures been? What are you proud of? What have you done to overcome obstacles?
Don't forget to remember that only you can limit your potential. No matter what anyone may say, you can do whatever you want.
Benjamin Franklin once said that "Nothing will work without you."

How To
Discovery of Penicillin: Successful Inventions Made by Accident
How did penicillin get created?
Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin accidentally after noticing mold growth on bacteria cultures he left out. He believed that mold might kill the bacteria and therefore he attempted to find a solution.
He discovered penicillin kills mold and realized that the new drug could also fight bacteria-related infections. Penicillin was one the greatest medical breakthroughs. It saved millions and changed medicine forever.
Alexander Fleming had no idea at first what his discovery would mean. No one else knew the same. Penicillin was a powerful antibiotic that no one had ever imagined.
Until after World War II, scientists learned that penicillin worked against bacterial infections. In 1945, the U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming if he could use penicillin to treat soldiers suffering from wounds infected with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming accepted the offer.
Penicillin proved to be effective against many kinds of infections. It became a lifesaver for wounded soldiers during World War II. It was also used to save the lives of many doctors in post-war Germany.
Dr. Fleming didn't expect his discovery would have such profound consequences. He simply wanted to make sure that mold doesn't grow in the bacteria cultures he studied. He could not imagine that this simple experiment would lead him to such a miraculous medical breakthrough.
It's not surprising that many of the discoveries we make every day don’t amount to anything extraordinary. These discoveries are nothing more than experiments, done for no particular purpose.
Look back on history and you'll see that even seemingly minor experiments can make all the difference.
It is often the most important discovery that seems to have no commonality. Like penicillin. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
It doesn't happen just because someone has an idea. Because someone has a problem. They then solve the problem by experimentation.
