Incredible method. So interesting

Funny. In our night briefings for flying helicopters one of our safety points is "Treat all shadows as obstacles."

Почему наса до сих пор не показывает аномалия над северным плюсом? Почему обходит не удобную тему о дыре в атмосфере, об изменении магнитных полей в этом месте??? Кого вы убережете этим? Сокрытие правды в подобных случаях сродни подлейшей лжи!
