Dr. Milton Wainwright seeks to persuade the public that he has discovered advanced life hovering approximately twenty five miles above Earth's surface.
However, despite the eagerness of tabloids to embrace his narrative, the scientific community remains hesitant to endorse his findings.
If one were to come across life existing at an altitude of twenty five miles above the surface, it would undoubtedly be an extraordinary occurrence.
Traditional aircraft do not reach such heights, there is no evidence to suggest that a volcanic eruption was responsible for this discovery.
Thank you for watching!

Frequently Asked Questions
Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?
Even though we want to live in an ideal universe where everyone learns through history, it's not possible to learn more from our failures.
You can't learn anything better than trying it wrong.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
You'll eventually discover why you made the changes if you continue to make them.
You might even discover that you could have done it better the first time.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you should stop trying. You've learned a lot.
Even though you cannot avoid making mistakes completely, you can minimize them. This is the difference between success, and failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"
When you're open with yourself, you will see that your failures are not failures. They are learning opportunities.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed many other times before he inventing the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved his design.
And over time, he invented the most popular form of lighting today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your errors. You should learn from your mistakes.
Then, try again.
What are three things that you can learn from the past?
History is filled with examples of how mistakes can be learned from. They can be applied to current business challenges, and transformed into 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 also shows that sometimes it's the underdogs who triumph. When you feel overwhelmed, stuck or lost, think back to the times when they won.
You can learn from the past, and bring those lessons into the future. Learn from the mistakes and successes of others.
These lessons can help you improve the success rate.
Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History repeats itself when we believe the same old stories. Our world is conditioned to believe there are immutable laws and fixed truths. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This prevents us thinking critically. From challenging authority. Questioning authority. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. When we don't learn, we stagnate. And when we stagnate, we repeat the same mistakes.
Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. History repeats itself when we refuse to learn from past mistakes and instead keep repeating them.
Change your perception of the world and yourself to stop the cycle. There is no set in stone. All things are in constant flux.
The key to breaking the cycle is to embrace uncertainty. To accept that things could go wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. Accepting failure as a possibility.
Accept that you may not reach your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
To hold on to the past is to be certain. You'll never move forward if you cling to the idea that there are fixed truths.
You must let go if you want to be free. You must let go of control if you want to move forward.
How can you easily learn from the mistakes and victories of human history?
It doesn't take long for history to make a comeback. Learning from the mistakes of human past history doesn't require much time. Just make sure you are not repeating them yourself!
The key is to take what worked in the past and learn from it.
This is possible by studying books about leadership and managing strategies as well case studies of successful businesses that have been around for decades.
You'll be able draw inspiration from their success and avoid the common pitfalls that they fell into.
Also, you can find examples of bankrupt businesses. Why did they fail? Are there common themes between these failures? These insights will help you avoid costly mistakes.
You can also read about historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, John D. Rockefeller and Steve Jobs. While they may have had the best resumes in the history of the world, few knew how to manage people and run a business. You can learn from their mistakes if you want.
It is possible to learn from both the successes and failures of human history. Simply spend a few seconds each day reflecting on the successes and failures of the past to find ways to use them today.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps built the Suez Canal in 1869. He wanted to link Europe and Asia with his project. To accomplish this, he had to build a canal through the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest point), to allow ships from Europe and Asia to reach India/China. It required the construction and maintenance of several locks as well as dams. He traveled to Egypt several times and negotiated financing with Khedive Ismail Pasha. He returned to France and found that Napoleon III was dead. The Second Empire had taken over the project. He was there for three years before the French government offered to finance the project. After the British lost the Battle of Omdurman in Sudan War 1859, they signed a Treaty allowing them to access the Red Sea via Suez Canal. The canal opened in 1869.
This project opened up trade routes and increased international commerce. It led to the development in many countries, including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
The Suez Canal also allowed people to travel faster than ever before. It used to take weeks, if not months, to cross the Isthmian Peninsula. Now, it takes only days. People could travel to Paris, London Rome, Rome, and Constantinople easily without having to make long sea voyages or brave dangerous storms. In addition, the Suez Canal shortened the distance between North America and Europe by almost 3,000 miles, making it easier for people to move back and forth. These features made the Suez Canal a major transportation project.
The Suez Canal caused problems as it divided the Ottoman Empire in two, ultimately leading to the First World War. The British used the Suez Canal as a weapon against Germany during World War II, while the Germans attacked Britain with their own version of the canal. Although the Suez Canal fell under Egyptian control at the end of World War II, the British maintained their control over the land to either side.
After the Second World War the Suez Canal remained a vital part of global commerce until the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict. Both sides didn't want to fight each other initially, as they were afraid the other might use force. Israel eventually seized the Sinai peninsula in 1967 from Egypt. The Suez Canal was then closed to all shipping but military vessels. The Suez Canal was closed to civilian traffic for four more years after being shut down by Egypt's military forces. President Sadat eventually reopened it in 1973.
