Back in 2017, a massive circular structure was spotted moving across the Pacific ocean. Those who saw the object saw that it looked man made, and after measurements were taken it revealed that it was over 2.5miles in diameter. Oddly enough the object appears to leave a large trail behind it, with some saying that you can clearly see that it's moving.
Thank you for watching!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are three lessons you can learn about history?
There are many examples in history of how we can learn from our failures. 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. There is always someone who thinks out of the box and takes risks to make themselves stand out.
History shows that the underdogs are often the ones who win. So when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even lost, look back to those times when the underdog won.
Take a look back at the past to learn from it and make improvements for the future. Learn from the successes and failures of others.
These lessons can help increase your success rates.
What is the most important thing you should know about history?
This question is not easy to answer. When thinking about learning, there are three key points you should consider. We must first realize that knowledge is power. Second, knowledge is cumulative. Third, it is important to recognize how rapidly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power. This empowers us with the knowledge we need to make better decisions and live better lives. If we had complete information, we wouldn't have any difficulty making decisions. We would do exactly what we wanted, regardless of whether it was right and wrong.
Knowledge is not only power but also cumulative. This means that we add knowledge to our brains every time we learn something. As time goes on, we become smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now move on to the third point. Although knowledge is cumulative, it doesn’t stay static very long. Knowledge is constantly evolving. Scientists discover new theories and facts every day. Discoveries are made all the time.
Technology allows us to quickly access knowledge, and is crucial for our culture. Technology allows us to save vast amounts data and share it between millions of people across the globe.
Globalization is changing the way that we view technology. Globalization is the process of ideas and products spreading across borders. Knowledge is now easily accessible all over the world because of globalization.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. Anyone can read books, watch movies, listen to music, play video games, and surf the web. All these activities require knowledge.
Knowledge is becoming more accessible but also more specialized. Today, there are thousands of websites providing advice on topics such a health, finance, business and cooking. These sites offer information on nearly every topic possible.
But if you go online to buy a car, you'll probably find only a few dozen sites offering automotive-related services and products. 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 deep knowledge of a field. Experts can also produce content of high quality that is targeted to their particular audience.
Because they don't have to look through tons of unimportant information, this is a good thing for consumers. Instead, they can focus on a small number of sites with lots of useful content.
Experts also have the advantage of specialization. They can build strong businesses around this 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 be confident that the author understands his message.
An expert who isn't a specialist risks losing customers who are expecting him to be one.
Specialization isn't limited to just one area. Nowadays, specialists are not limited to one area. One might be an accountant, lawyer, doctor, teacher, or other specialist. We are also likely to be parents, spouses and friends.
Experts argue that specialization is so common that it's impossible for one person to be an expert in all aspects of the same thing.
How can you become an expert in multiple fields? You can do it by practicing. You have to put in the time to learn. And when you make progress, you keep going until you reach a level where people recognize your expertise.
There are many industries that help others achieve this goal. You can learn how to quickly acquire knowledge through workshops, seminars, conferences and schools.
Is it possible to learn from the past and not repeat past mistakes?
History repeats itself because we keep making the same mistakes again and again. We don't learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We get complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History also repeats itself because we keep believing the same old stories. Our world is conditioned to believe there are immutable laws and fixed truths. We cannot change them.
This keeps us from being able to think critically. It prevents us from questioning authority. To challenge assumptions. And when we don't question, we don't grow. We stagnate if we don’t move forward. Stamina is when we continue to make the same mistakes.
But history isn't the same because we continue making the same mistakes. We don't learn from our mistakes, and we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.
By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. Nothing is permanent. All things are in constant flux.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accept that things can go wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not reach your goals. Acceptance of this fact is okay. But, don't let it stop you from striving to improve.
To hold on to the past is to be certain. If you hold on to the belief that there are certain truths, you'll never be able to move forward.
Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.
Who said that history doesn't teach the ignorant?
We all wish to live in a world where everyone learns from the past, but there are more valuable things than learning from our mistakes.
The best way to learn how to do something correctly is to actually experience it.
The real error is not making sure you do it correctly the first attempt.
You'll eventually discover why you made the changes if you continue to make them.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
You shouldn't give up on trying again. It means you've learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. This is the difference that makes the difference of success and failure.
It all starts with acknowledging your mistakes. Take a step back and look at your mistakes objectively. Then ask yourself, "What did you learn?"
Being honest with yourself will help you see that your mistakes are only lessons. They can be used as opportunities to grow.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed many times before inventing the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he saw each failure as an opportunity for improvement in his design.
He invented the best form of lighting that is popular today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. These are your opportunities to learn.
Then try again.

How To
How did marketing history become propaganda?
The term "propaganda," which was first used in 1879 by Max Weber, a German sociologist, was derived from the Greek word Praopagos which means "to communicate well". The Latin verb "propere", meaning "nearby" and "at hand", and the noun “agogos,” meaning "speech, discourse," are the origins of the term. It's a "systematic attempt to influence attitudes and behavior."
George Orwell, British journalist and author of "Propaganda," wrote that propaganda was not intended to convince people to believe anything. He only wanted to change their beliefs...
Edward Bernays (1891 –1955), who was Sigmund Fréud's nephew. The psychoanalyst and nephew of Sigmund Freud became famous after he invented "public relations" back in 1922. He said, "The conscious and intelligent manipulations the organized habits or opinions of the masses is an essential element in a democratic democracy." He created the public relations firm Bernays & Company in 1927. He worked there until 1955.
From the 1920s to the 1950s, Bernays developed an "engineering consent" technique - influencing public opinion through advertising and publicity campaigns. His techniques were later adopted by mass media companies such as Time Magazine, CBS News, NBC News, and Newsweek. After World War II, Bernays began working closely with corporations and government agencies to influence public opinion. Johnson & Johnson was among his clients.
The tobacco industry was his greatest client. He helped Philip Morris to develop a campaign against smoking in 1939. The Surgeon General recommended that indoor smoking be prohibited. In 1965, the Cigarette Advertising Act was adopted. This bans any cigarette advertisement in print media such as newspapers and television.
He also advised President Franklin D Roosevelt on how to deal with the growing labor movement during the Great Depression. Bernays suggested that the president declare a "war on hunger" and use the federal government's power to ensure adequate food supplies. This strategy made the government look like a benevolent father figure and helped the president win re-election in 1936.
Bernays promoted the idea of "radio-listening" in order to increase radio sales. In the 1930s, he introduced "branding" as well as "advertising". He believed that consumers can be influenced by appealing directly to their emotions and making them feel special. He promoted the slogan, "Have I got what it takes?" In 1933, he encouraged women to purchase war bonds.
He founded a political committee, "Young People for Freedom," in 1944. This group had the goal of encouraging Americans aged 18 to 30 to vote Republican. Bernays' efforts proved successful when Dwight Eisenhower won the presidential election in 1952.
Bernays persuaded CIA to set up a coup in Iran. Shah Reza Pahlevi took over Mohammad Mosaddegh's place. This was necessary to stop Mosaddegh nationalizing Iranian oil fields. Bernays wrote articles in praise of the new regime, calling it a "moderate," a "progressive", and a "modernized" one after the coup.
Bernays received many other awards throughout his career.
