Image
Every year, some of the deadliest natural disasters — earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, wildfires and droughts, on average kill nearly 60,000 people, according to Global Change Data Lab .   Violent natural disasters have been a fact of human life since the beginning of mankind, but the death counts of the most ancient of these disasters are lost to history.

Bob Lazar: Ancient History is hidden from the public Bob Lazar was right, the United States military has recovered wreckage of otherworldly vehicles that are not from this earth and one of the wreckage recovered is the UFO that crashed in Roswell in 1947 as well as they found the alien crew of which three aliens did not survive the crash. The surviving alien was taken to Wright Patterson Air Force Base, where he remained for about nine months before passing away.
