More Info On Ricky McCormick Cipher
Ricky McCormick was found murdered in a St. Charles Missouri field in 1999. On his person were two documents, written by hand in some sort of code.
The code has never been deciphered.
In 2011 the FBI released images of the documents and asked the public for help in cracking the code, in the hope that some clue to the case would be found.
So far, the code remains locked and Ricky McCormick's murder remains unsolved.
Can you break the code?
The two notes are written in an unknown code consisting of "a jumble of letters and numbers occasionally set off with parentheses" and are believed by the FBI to possibly lead to those responsible for the killing...
Taxi! To the Space Station!
(Reuters) - NASA is looking for at least two U.S. firms to design and build space taxis to ferry astronauts to and from the International Space Station, program managers said on Tuesday.
NASA plans to invest $300 million to $500 million in each of the firms selected under new 21-month partnership agreements, Ed Mango, manager of NASA's Commercial Crew program, said at an industry briefing at the Kennedy Space Center prior to the release of a solicitation on Tuesday.
The new program aims to build upon previous NASA investments in companies designing commercial passenger spaceships...
Dorothy, RUN! Sun Attacks Earth!
Our planet is being bombarded by high-energy particles unleashed by the strongest solar storm since 2005, scientists say.
The charged particles are mostly a concern for satellites - which they can disrupt - and astronauts.
But they can also cause communication problems for aircraft travelling near the poles.
The geomagnetic storm has been caused by a potent flare that erupted from the Sun at 0400 GMT on Monday...
Space Balls Are Falling - Material "Known to Man"
A large metallic ball fell out of the sky on a remote grassland in Namibia, prompting baffled authorities to contact NASA and the European space agency.
The hollow ball with a circumference of 1.1 metres (43 inches) was found near a village in the north of the country some 750 kilometres (480 miles) from the capital Windhoek, according to police forensics director Paul Ludik.
Locals had heard several small explosions a few days beforehand, he said.
With a diameter of 35 centimetres (14 inches), the ball has a rough surface and appears to consist of "two halves welded together"...

Asteroid near Earth: Fireball in Southwest prompts talk of UFO, aliens
The fireball that streaked over the U.S. Southwest on Wednesday night gave skywatchers a spectacular show -- and prompted immediate speculation on Twitter of UFOs.
But an expert told the Los Angeles Times there was a more natural explanation: It was a likely "near-Earth asteroid," no bigger than a basketball...

FBI Needs Your Help to Break Code, Solve Cold Case
ST. CHARLES COUNTY, MISSOURI
Ricky McCormick was found dead on June 30, 1999, near a cornfield off Highway 367 in St. Charles County. In his shirt pocket, investigators found two coded notes.
They were never able to crack the codes.
Today, nearly 12 years later, the FBI wants the public's help in a new attempt to break the codes and, maybe, help solve the mystery of how and why the 41-year-old St. Louis man died.
The FBI believes he was murdered, and so do the St. Charles County sheriff's detectives who originally worked the case...
Mummified Remains Found in House of Hoarder
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI
Gladys Jean Bergmeier was known by her neighbors to be a pack rat who filled her house with plants and plastic bags stuffed with a mix of important papers and trash. Outdated newspapers and magazines were piled throughout her house in the 9200 block of Catalina Drive.
Nearly three weeks after the 75-year-old was found dead on Feb. 7, a relative found the unthinkable among the rubbish: the mummified remains of an elderly woman, presumably Bergmeier's long-unseen mother, Gladys Stansbury...
Prof Sez UFOs "Worthy Area of Study"
The subject of UFOs should be brought out into the open as a worthwhile "area of study," a New York anthropology professor says.
"(A sighting) happens to millions of people (around the world)," Philip Haseley said. "It's about time we looked into this as a worthy area of study. It's important that the whole subject be brought out in the open and investigated," The Buffalo (New York) News reported Sunday.
Haseley teaches at Niagara County Community College and is head of the Western New York Mutual UFO Network, an organization focused on UFO research...
