Strange video shows 'Devil tree' burning from the inside

A video posted to Youtube on December 21, 2015, shows a tree burning from the inside out while producing very little smoke. The disturbing spectacle was discovered by two hikers who happened to come across it while out walking in the woods near the city of Defiance in Ohio. One of the men took out his cellphone and started to film the fire as it slowly engulfed the inside of the tree while leaving the outer trunk and branches untouched. Even more peculiar was the almost complete lack of smoke from the blaze despite its apparent intensity.

Four new elements added to periodic table

The periodic table has been given four new elements, changing one of science’s most fundamental pieces of knowledge. Elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 will now be added to the table’s seventh row and make it complete, after they were verified by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry on December 30, 2015. All of the four new admissions are man-made. The super-heavy elements are created by shoving lighter nuclei into each other and are found in the radioactive decay — which only exists for a tiny fraction of a second before they decay into other elements. The elements have been worked on since at least 2004, when studies began showing the discovery and priority of element 113. But they have all now satisfied the strict tests to be admitted to the periodic table.

Clinton vows to investigate UFOs and Area 51

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has promised that if she is elected as the next president of the United States she will “get to the bottom” of questions and controversy over what the U.S. government knows about UFOs and aliens. Clinton reportedly made the promise during an interview with The Conway Daily Sun reporter Daymond Steer while campaigning in New Hampshire. When Steer asked the Democratic candidate about her position on UFOs and ETs and whether she would support efforts by UFO disclosure groups, she answered, “Yes, I am going to get to the bottom of it.”

Mystery pink bottles wash up along UK coast

The bizarre problem began on January 3rd, when the brightly-colored bottles turned up on Britain's southernmost shores. Volunteers at Poldhu Beach in Cornwall have since been attempting the unenviable task of picking them all up, however more are arriving all the time and it looks like they might continue to deluge the coast for weeks. Ross Hocking, owner of the Poldhu Beach cafe, said up to 3,000 bottles had washed up on Poldhu beach since Sunday - with more surfacing every minute. The 30-year-old said: “I think they will be coming in for months. The way the wind and tide is going, it will be a long time before they stop completely coming in." Other unusual flotsam that has previously washed up on the beach includes millions of Lego pieces in the ‘90s, and a large number number of lighters, he added.

Deformed Mountain Lion Found With Fangs in Forehead

It sounds like a hoax: A mountain lion with a second set of teeth growing out of its forehead. But the Idaho Department of Fish and Game has confirmed that the young male mountain lion legally shot south of Preston had a growth on its head with a full set of fangs. The growth, which hints at the snout of another cougar, had small whiskers as well. It came to the department’s attention after it was shot at by a landowner, who saw it attacking a neighbor’s dog. Although the mountain lion ran off, the hunter followed it into the hills with his hounds and eventually killed it.

Giant metal balls fall from sky over Vietnam

The Vietnamese military seized three metal balls that fell from the sky on Saturday, January 9th. The mysterious objects landed in northern Vietnam where witnesses from the Tan Dong and Bao Dap communities heard thunder-like sounds and saw "flying objects" in the sky before the metal balls crash-landed. The two smaller metal balls weighed 250 grams and 6 kilograms respectively. The third and largest metal ball weighed 35 to 45 kilograms, and is as big as an exercise ball. This is the fifth reported incident of metal spheres falling from the sky in the past three months; three of which landed in Spain, the fourth landing in Turkey.

"For Allah" Inscription Found on Viking Era Ring

Ancient tales about Viking expeditions to Islamic countries had some elements of truth, according to recent analysis of a ring recovered from a 9th century Swedish grave. Featuring a pink-violet colored stone with an inscription that reads “for Allah” or “to Allah,” the silver ring was found during the 1872-1895 excavations of grave fields at the Viking age trading center of Birka, some 15.5 miles west of Stockholm. “The Viking Sagas and Chronicles tell us of Viking expeditions to the Black and Caspian Seas, and beyond, but we don’t know what is fact and what is fiction in these stories,” said Sebastian Wärmländer of Stockholm University. “The mint condition of the ring corroborates ancient tales about direct contacts between Viking Age Scandinavia and the Islamic world.”

Well, as I should have expected, some shithead tried to hack the new email account. I have that on lock, though, so no harm was done. To the anon that tried, I have this to say: Do you have nothing better to do with your time, energy, and life, except try to ruin someone else's day? Couldn't you be painting, or building something, or even just sitting on your ass and playing a video game? What is your motivation? I'm genuinely interested.

MothDan posted a new episode of his "Podcast" on Youtube. His thread has come and gone, but you can find the archive at http://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/17183800 and the episode at https://youtu.be/rK1bIqszw34 . Good work as always, and he name drops me for some reason. That's alright by me. I'm loathe to tripfag outside of the magazine, but if we're ever going to have good content on /x/, we need to keep supporting the good threads and letting the bad threads die.

I'll leave you all with a quote.

There is no harm in doubt and skepticism, for it is through these that new discoveries are made. ~Richard Feynman

>Giant metal balls fall from sky over Vietnam

Initial findings showed they are made from Russia and could be part of a failed satellite launch. Similar objects were also found in Turkey and Spain in November 2015.

If you want to be taken seriously, post some fucking facts. Otherwise it's as if you're just posting bullshit.

I'm all for an /x/ magazine, but do it right for fucksake otherwise it's a joke.

Very nice!!

>>17201840
He posts a synopsis of the article, and then the link to the full story. The information you cited was in the full article. I fail to see how that's bullshit. It's not as though he's directly copy and pasting the full story, and hasn't done so in the past.
Stop being a nitpicking faggot. This is a quality thread.

>>17201840
Get out.

>>17201743
Thank you OP

I can assure you, I'm not MothDan, though he does seem to have taken a liking to me. And you ought to as well, strange obsessive Anon. In the sea of rollplayers, troll threads, and rehashed bullshit on this board, the fact that I can turn out a thread of consistent quality, week after week, should give any of you long time lurkers reason to celebrate. The only reason I tripfag is so you don't get a bunch of shitposting copycats trying to derail the thread.

Put aside your irrational dislike, and give this a chance. It's not about me. It's about making /x/ a better board.

>>17203210
OP doing the Elder Gods work, thanks Editor

>>17203210
If it's about making /x/ a better board then don't post bullshit or snippets of articles that appear /x/ until you click the link and find out its fucking russian satellites. People don't like being conned, and they definitely don't like clickbait.

Do it right and people will support you. We all want /x/ to be better, posting nonsense isn't helping.

If we want to read bullshit we'll hit ATS or bellgab.

If you don't like it, a tripcode makes it very easy to filter my threads out. But in the past three months, you're the first to have a single complaint about a single article in a single issue. You're throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Frankly I don't give two tugs of a dead dog's dick if you don't like it. If it's not for you, then so be it. But other people on this board are fucking grateful to have good quality content at least once a week, and you aren't going to shit that up for them because I accidentally put your panties in a knot over not putting enough facts in a single story. I'll do better in the next issue, but this one has been put to bed, so either get unangry and deal with it, or filter me off your version of /x/.

Because I'm not going away, and I'm not giving up.

Thanks Editor sir.

>>17201743
Thanks, OP...and post moar stories!

>>17203286
It's called Constructive Criticism, no need to go full retard. You know what you did was misleading.

I like your idea of a magazine. I hope you succeed. Just do yourself a favour... Do it right. Don't shit on peoples' faces with half-truths because it will fail.

Thanks for the OP. Good luck.

Bump

This was quite the announcement. It's funny how quickly we forgot about it though.

That breathing earth video looks like it's just the high winds pushing the trees back and forth and their roots pulling up on the top soil, giving it that 'breathing' effect. Cool looking but not spooky.

This is fucking solid, great thread Editor-man.
