History 101: 1999: Berlin once again became the capital of Germany.
Music History 101: 1965 - The U.S. premiere of the motion picture much anticipated in America because the last time their fans saw them on the big screen it was in black and white. Now they were in living color – the Beatles and the movie was: Help!
The 101 number one song of the day was written by a man named McKay and sung by a trio once known as the Heavenly Sunbeams. The title of the song was the same as a onetime number one by the Eagles. It was an entirely different song tho
Al McKay and the guiding force behind Earth, Wind and Fire – Maurice White had composed the rhythm and a rough outline of the tune and went into the studio to produce a trio of former Gospel singers who were anxious to transition into a secular group. The song reached number one on August 21, 1977 for three women whose voices, according to an observer, elicited an emotional response in the form of spinal chills. That observation provided inspiration for their new name: The Emotions – Best of My Love
And did you see the UFO?

LAS CRUCES — Call it a close encounter of the Las Cruces kind. Jude Fiebert, who has lived in Las Cruces since 1982, isn't convinced that what she saw was an alien ship. But she would like to know what's behind the enormous yellow sphere rising in the East on Friday night.
"It was an enormous light rising over the Organ Mountains on the east side of town at midnight (Friday)," she said. "I was looking out and I can see the Organ Mountains. Then there's this enormous yellow sphere rising from behind the mountains. It's not a moon, just an enormous yellow sphere."
She said the orb, which appeared to be the orange and yellow color often seen in a Harvest Moon, was five or 10 times the size of the sun rising over the mountain.
"It started flaking off little red flakes and sinking down into the mountain. It seemed like the flakes were burning off," she said. "I know it wasn't a full moon ... we just had one two weeks ago."
Fiebert was the first to admit she suspected activity at White Sands Missile Range was behind the strange apparition. But, she does want answers.
"I'm not loco," she said. "I really saw this."
After asking around to see if anyone else saw the light, she called the National UFO Reporting Center and was told several other sightings had been sent in, reporting the same light.
Officials with Mesilla Valley Regional Dispatch in Las Cruces said they didn't remember receiving any calls around that time. Holloman Air Force Base public affairs office in Alamogordo said they normally would not be conducting any testing at that time of night and they did not know if WSMR was conducting tests. Officials at WSMR were not immediately available to confirm if any testing took place.
We spoke with several listeners who saw it and we also checked in at White Sands Missile Range and they were not able to shed any light on it but we received this email from Dick in Cloudcroft that offers this possible explanation:
“This was almost certainly a near-conjunction between the Moon and Jupiter. Both rose above the horizon near 11:00 p.m. that night, which would put them rising above the Organs around midnight. The Moon was about 3/4 full, and Jupiter was very bright. If there was any wind blowing over the Organs, this would have produced turbulence just above the peaks, which is a classic condition for planets or stars to appear torn, with colors and pieces of the object changing very rapidly and appearing very bright.”
…freaky…
