#Free #novel High Strangeness by Eric Bickernicks, Jan Brady http://high-strangeness.net/ Imagine Orson Welles' War Of The Worlds happening on present day Cape Cod - then toss in a little Close Encounters Of The Third Kind.

Challenger disaster: How subfreezing temperatures played a role in the ill-fated launch in 1986 Article Link: https://news.yahoo.com/amphtml/challenger-disaster-subfreezing-temperatures-played-134114849.html The chilly morning of Jan. 28, 1986, ended in disaster as the space shuttle Challenger broke apart off the coast of Florida in one of the worst tragedies in the history of NASA.  The launch ended in a catastrophic failure of the shuttle's rockets 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven crew members, including Christa McAuliffe, a teacher who would have been the first-ever American civilian to fly in space.
