Mysterious World

 I have been working thru the box of books I got from GrandaPa and this one, about mysterious phenomena, caught my eye, also because Arthur C Clarke was contributing an opinion or two along the way.  There was a Chapter on stone circles, some of which I have been to like Stonehenge.  My theory is that all these sites started small, like campfire small. People gathered around a circle of stones with a fire within and that grew into larger meeting places where the people got inside the stone circle.  I went to some trouble in Spain one time to find a stone circle that no-one visits much. It is called Oieleku. All they have done is mowed the braken fern near the stones. You have to walk a few kms to get there and they are just stones in a paddock but a few thousand yar ago there must have been lots of people doing something there. 

The book has other stories and the best one I think is the guys who witnessed a meteorite striking the Moon's surface. Now that is being in the right place at the right time.
