Forty years old Chinese "zombie meat" might be a hoax. It does seem incredible meat was frozen for 40 years, but it's still the Wild Wild West in China. We'll see when all the facts come out.

Chinese Internet users' jaw dropped twice in two weeks due to the same "zombie meat" story as new investigations showed that reports about "long-expired meat in south China which had been frozen for more than 40 years" were possibly made up.

The story, published on Xinhuanet.com two weeks ago, alleged that Customs officials in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous region seized more than 100,000 tons of "zombie meat last month and some of it have been frozen since 1967".

But officials in Guangxi denied that they had ever confiscated such long frozen products or provided such information to any media, according to a report by Food Safety Reference news, which doubted the credibility of the "zombie meat" story.

The news of 40-year-old frozen meat was first reported in 2013 on Xinhuanet.com, in which police in Nanning, capital of Guangxi, were said to have confiscated more than 20 tons of low-quality long-expired chicken feet from a frozen meat warehouse.

However, Nanning police also rejected the report, saying they were not involved in any such operation two years ago, according to Food Safety Reference.

"We had never published such information and were confused how the report came up," a police official said.

Food Safety Reference said that the Xinhuanet.com's report is not believable as it provides neither specific location nor cites any source.

"The ‘zombie meat' news is grafted from an old and baseless story," it concluded.

After doubts were raised about the authenticity of the story, the topic became one of the hottest discussions on Sina Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, with one post about it forwarded more than 6,000 times.

"Is this a series? I'm already expecting part III," one joked.

"This was so disappointing as I was ready to celebrate for having the opportunity to eat meat older than me," another ridiculed.

However, a survey on ifeng.com, a major news portal, showed that most people, or 61 percent, would still choose to believe in food safety news in the future despite the possible ‘zombie meat' made-up story.

Twenty-seven percent others said they were fed up with fake news and would eat whatever they wanted.

Unless they had a refrigerator that was absolute zero degrees kelvin, it would be impossible to not recognize bad meat that was 40 years old. And it would taste nothing like meat. It would be impossible to pass it off as edible meat. And I highly doubt they would have access to such a refrigerator 40 years ago.

8 To 9 Foot Tall ET Observed Inside Space Shuttle Payload Bay


I, Clark C. McClelland, former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, personally observed an 8 to 9 foot tall ET on my 27 inch video monitors while on duty in the Kennedy Space Center, Launch Control Center (LCC). The ET was standing upright in the Space Shuttle Payload Bay having a discussion with TWO tethered US NASA Astronauts. I also observed on my monitors, the spacecraft of the ET as it was in a stabilized, safe orbit to the rear of the Space Shuttle main engine pods. I observed this incident for about one minute and seven seconds. Plenty of time to memorize all that I was observing. IT WAS AN ET and Alien Star Ship!

To all who have faith in ME, I present you with this artists concept (See on top) of what I saw many years ago at KSC. It was a tall creature, about 8 to 9 feet tall. It had a humanoid body shape with two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet, a slim torso and a normal size head for its size. The color of its skin I could not determine. It appeared to have two what appeared to be eyes, but it was not detailed enough for any other comments.

How did it communicate? I have no idea. It did move its arms a lot. Almost like giving instructions! I heard no voice communications. The helmet was not as large as our two NASA Astronauts, and had a viewport to look forward. It had a small, perhaps a communication device, attached only to the right side of the helmet!


I saw no oxygen tank(s). It had a wide belt like wrapping around it.. It did not appear to be tethered as the two Astronauts were to the sides of the shuttle structure. I observed nothing that appeared to be a weapon. The time of this amazing scene was one minute and seven seconds, I timed it on my Astronaut chronograph watch.

A friend of mine later contacted me and said that this person had also observed an 8 to 9 foot tall ET INSIDE the SPACE SHUTTLE CREW COMPARTMENT! Yes, inside OUR Shuttle! BOTH missions were DoD (Pentagon) TOP SECRET (TS) encounters!

(Jon Show) Winter is Coming: Scientist Says Sun Will Nod Off in 15 Years

Might want to start stockpiling those down jackets: The sun could nod off by 2030, triggering what scientists are describing as a “mini ice age.”

of Northumbira University presented the frigid findings at the National Astronomy Meeting in Llandudno, Wales. Modern technology has made us able to predict solar cycles with much greater accuracy, and Zharkova’s model predicts that solar activity will drop by more than half between 2030 and 2040.

Solar activity was thought to be caused by a turbine-system of moving fluid within the sun. In search of a more accurate system of prediction, Professor Zharkova and her team discovered fluctuating magnetic waves in two layers of the sun. By studying the data of the dual waves, she says, predictions are far more precise.

“Combining both waves together and comparing to real data for the current solar cycle, we found that our predictions showed an accuracy of 97 percent,” said Zharkova, whose findings were published by the

.

Using this method, she and her team discovered that there will be far less solar activity in sun cycles 25 and 26, leading to a prolonged period of solar dormancy

“In cycle 26, the two waves exactly mirror each other -- peaking at the same time but in opposite hemispheres of the Sun. Their interaction will be disruptive, or they will nearly cancel each other. We predict that this will lead to the properties of a ‘

’,” said Zharkova.

The Maunder Minimum is the title given to periods of time when sunspots are rare. It last occurred between 1645 and 1715, when roughly 50 sunspots were recorded, as opposed to the standard 40,000. That time was marked by brutal, river-freezing temperatures in Europe and North America.
