In Sonora desert, Arizona, a bit outside Tuscon, lies the biggest airplane cemetery in the world. US Airforce base Davis Monthan is where many airplanes go to be scrapped or taken apart for their spare parts

I spotted it on Google Earth and I have to say that I have never seen so many airplanes gathered. I doubt if the people there know exactly how many airplanes there are in this base.

To understand the magnitude of this base, see to what a small dot corresponds.

I include an interactive add on from Google Maps so you can easily zoom in and out.

What to say about that, Robbie Williams is thinking of becoming a UFOlogist! Read his statement below:

Seriously, I want to go out and investigate these things. I’m stopping being a pop star and becoming a full-time ufologist. We could be like Mulder and Scully in real life. You’re always mega-busy but I’ve got nothing on at the minute

He also said that he has seen UFO’s 3 times in Los Angeles. He is also determined to invest 2.5 million pounds to buy his own observatory in the desert.

Few hours before the start of the famous Dakar (January 5th) rally across the Sahara Desert, the organizers, Amaury Sport Organization - ASO, canceled the event. This was done due to serious security concerns over possible terrorist attacks in Mauritania. The concerns came from the murder of 4 French tourists in Mauritania (where 8 stages of the 15 rally would take place) along with direct threats possibly from Al-Qaeda.

The 2008 Dakar rally was scheduled to be a 9000 km long race, for the 570 contestants, ending on the 20th of January after passing from 6 countries (Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania and Senegal)
