PENAMPAKAN UFO DI LANGIT JAKARTA

kalian percaya ga dengan UFO beserta penampakannya?

tadi sekitar jam 7 s/d jam 8 malam, ketika mengamati langit dari teras rumah, gw melihat 7 buah cahaya berwarna kuning di langit sebelah utara. pertamanya gw kira itu adalah planet, karena cahaya2 itu diem di angkasa seperti melayang aja gitu.

tapi anehnya setelah gw perhatiin secara seksama, cahaya2 itu bergerak sedikit2 demi sedikit berputar2 di angkasa. jadi, dugaan sementara gw adalah helikopter atau pesawat militer. setelah sekitar 2 menit gw mengamati di langit arah utara, tiba2 dari langit arah timur, ada sebuah cahaya ke-8 muncul dan bergerak dengan kecepatan sangat tinggi menuju ke arah kumpulan cahaya2 itu di langit arah utara.

lalu dengan sesegera mungkin gw mengambil kamera di dalam rumah untuk mengabadikan peristiwa langka ini. di dalam rumah, gw hanya sekitar 1 menitan mengambil kamera itu, lalu gw kembali lagi ke teras rumah.

begitu gw sampai di teras rumah dan melihat langit arah utara, ternyata cahaya2nya tinggal tersisa 2. gw sempat abadikan dengan beberapa foto. foto2 itu akan gw attach di sini kalau filmnya sudah selesai dicuci, tapi untuk sekarang masih ada di kamera gw. tunggu saja.

kira2 setelah 5 menit gw ambil beberapa foto 'cahaya asing' itu, kedua cahaya yang tersisa mulai berpisah. satu cahaya terus menuju ke arah selatan, yang satu lagi terus menuju ke arah utara dengan kecepatan yang sangat tinggi. kemudian, cahaya2 itu redup.

pertama, gw ragu dengan kecepatan gerak cahaya2 itu. sangat cepat, bahkan terlihat dari jauh pun, gerakannya sangat cepat. gw ga pernah melihat gerakan secepat itu.

kedua, gw ragu dengan kemampuannya untuk 'stay in course' di langit, bertahan diam seperti helikopter. kalau memang itu helikopter, lalu kenapa gerakannya sampai cepat sekali? dan sinar yang dipancarkan obyek itu terlalu tunggal untuk sebuah helikopter (in fact, segala macam pesawat memiliki minimal 2 jenis cahaya: cahaya lampu yang permanen dan cahaya sinyal yang berkedip2). di obyek2 itu, hanya ada cahaya bulat yang permanen.

jadi, gw mau tanya, apakah itu helikopter, pesawat militer terbaru, rahasia militer TNI, pesawat amerika, UFO, atau apa?

ini gw sertakan sketsanya kira2 seperti ini kurang lebih, karena gw masih inget banget.

foto2nya menyusul, tunggu abis dicuci dari kamera gw (maklum, ga pake digital cam).

Pedrosa picks up the pace for top time at Jerez test

Wednesday, 26 November 2008

The MotoGP `big guns´ waited until after lunch to appear on track in Jerez on Wednesday, but when they eventually emerged they did so with a bang. Dani Pedrosa, Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo –the highest placing riders from 2008 in action at the latest official test- made up the top trio on the first of a two-day residency.
Pedrosa´s late appearance on track did little to hamper his progress, as he took the new Honda RC212V around the circuit where he earned the first of his two race victories this past season with a 1´39.525 lap. The Repsol Honda man was the only rider to go round in under 1´40, besting Rossi and Lorenzo as he had done at last March´s Grand Prix in southern Spain. Pedrosa was comprehensively faster than his own race record from that round.

Pedrosa split his time between the 2009 spec Honda and a 2008 model, although his quickest time came with the updated chassis and engine of the latest machine.
Rossi´s time of 1´40.135 was over half a second slower than that of his rival, whilst Lorenzo was a further second back on the pacesetting duo in his second test with Bridgestone tyres. Despite the move to a single rubber supplier for 2009, Rossi and Lorenzo´s Fiat Yamaha garage remains divided by the wall put in place at the beginning of the year.

Colin Edwards and James Toseland were also looking to adapt their Yamaha M1 machinery and riding styles to new tyres, beginning their first test with Bridgestone for the Tech 3 Yamaha team. Having exchanged chief mechanics for the upcoming campaign, the duo´s results at the end of the day were remarkably similar; both rode in the mid 1´41´s in the top six, with Edwards the faster of the two. San Carlo Honda Gresini´s Alex de Angelis separated the Anglo-American connection on the timesheet.

All Ducati riders had the chance to ride with a version of the Desmosedici GP9, Niccolo Canepa the fastest for the Italian factory in ninth. Factory rider Nicky Hayden was assisted by Casey Stoner in the garage as both looked to define the direction for the 2009 project.

Conditions in Jerez were cold but sunny, and riders remained on track to make the most of the last remaining light between 5pm and 6pm. Testing concludes tomorrow, before the winter test embargo comes into place on December 1st.

MOTOGP AWARD 2008

It was Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner, Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo who once again shared the spotlight at the FIM Awards, taking home the individual MotoGP honours.

The top four placing riders in the 2008 MotoGP standings took home the honours last Sunday´s FIM Awards, with prizes handed out not just four World Championship positions.

Clearly the star of the show, 2008 title winner Valentino Rossi was awarded with the 60th plate for the `Champions´ Tower´ trophy. The Italian accepted the prize onstage to cap a hugely successful year in the premier class, in which he took nine victories as part of a record sixteen podiums, and a new points benchmark of 373 points.

Rossi´s return to glory was momentous for more reasons for one; in taking his sixth crown he also beat the single season points record with 373, and became only the second rider to regain the title after a two-year drought.

Second in the championship in 2008, Casey Stoner took home not just the runner-up trophy but also the `Tissot Pole of Pole´s for the most pole positions (nine) in the season. The Australian´s qualifying exploits also earned him the prestigious BMW M Award, for which he had received the keys to a new sports car over the weekend.

Receiving the third-place honour was Repsol Honda´s Dani Pedrosa, himself a poleman on two occasions and a racewinner on a further two. The Spaniard had led the championship before crashing out of the German round of the series.

Pedrosa´s rival and Rossi´s teammate, Jorge Lorenzo was onstage sans his fetching gold jacket from 2007. The Fiat Yamaha rider had been unable to break into the top three in his first season in the premier class, but had beaten longtime rival Andrea Dovizioso to the Rookie of the Year award, which he collected on Sunday night. The Majorcan had also done his bit to give Yamaha the Constructors title.

FERNANDO TORRES

Fernando José Torres Sanz (born 20 March 1984 in Madrid, Spain), nicknamed El Niño ("The Kid"), is a Spain association football, who plays for Liverpool F.C..

Torres started his career with Atlético Madrid, with whom he progressed through the youth ranks. He made his professional debut in 2001 and finished his career with the club having scored 75 goals in 174 La Liga appearances. Prior to this, Torres played two seasons in the Segunda División, making 40 appearances and scoring seven goals. He joined Liverpool F.C. in 2007, after the club paid their record transfer fee to sign him and marked his first season with the club by being their first player to score more than 20 league goals for the club in a season since Robbie Fowler in 1995-96 in English football.

He is also a Spain national football team and made his debut for the team against Portugal national football team in 2003. He has since participated in three major tournaments; UEFA Euro 2004, 2006 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2008. He was unable to score for Spain during the 2004 tournament, but did so on three occasions in the 2006 World Cup. Torres scored the winning goal for Spain in their 1–0 win over Germany national football team in the UEFA Euro 2008 Final.

Early career

Fernando Torres, born on 20 March 1984, became interested in association football as a child and joined his first team, Parque 84, at the age of five. His grandfather was not passionate about football, but prided himself in being an Atlético Madrid supporter, and Torres inherited his love for the Madrid club. However, when he was seven years old, he started playing regularly as a striker in an indoor league for his neighbourhood club, Mario’s Holland. He was later voted the best player in Europe for that age-group. Torres' first season at the highest level of Spanish football, La Liga 2002-03, was a good one which saw him manage to score 12 goals in 29 appearances as Atlético finished 11th. Aged just nineteen, he was also named Atlético's club captain. Atlético reached the final, but lost on penalties to Villarreal CF. Cerezo later said in January 2006 that the club were willing to listen to offers for Torres, and Torres claimed Newcastle United F.C. had made a bid to sign him in March.

After the 2006 FIFA World Cup, in which Torres participated as a member of the Spain national football team, he admitted that he had turned down the chance to join Chelsea at the end of the La Liga 2005-06 season. Following the La Liga 2006-07 season, in which he scored 14 La Liga goals, with reports in the English media stating that Torres was the main transfer target of Liverpool. The rumours reached such a fever pitch that Atlético president Enrique Cerezo made a statement saying, "We've received no offer from Liverpool or any other club or player." However, a few days later, new reports suggested Atlético had agreed a deal with Liverpool for Torres; the fee rumoured was £25 million with Luis Javier García Sanz moving in the opposite direction in a separate transfer deal. Then on 30 June Atlético announced a deal with Villarreal to sign Diego Forlán, which was seen as a move to replace Torres before his departure had become official. On 2 July it was reported Torres had cut short a holiday to fly back to Madrid to finalise the move to Liverpool. The following day, Torres passed a medical for Liverpool and it was announced that a farewell press conference would be held in Madrid on 4 July to bid farewell to the Atlético fans. The transfer fee is the highest paid in Liverpool's history,

Liverpool

Torres made his competitive debut for Liverpool against Aston Villa F.C. in a 2–1 win on 11 August 2007. He made his first appearance in the UEFA Champions League four days later in a 1–0 victory over Toulouse FC, after coming on as a 79th minute substitute. His first Premier League goal came on his Anfield debut on 19 August, in the 16th minute in a 1–1 draw against Chelsea F.C.. His first hat-trick came in a 4–2 victory over Reading F.C. in the Football League Cup in September, with all of his goals coming in the second half. His first goals in the Champions League came on his third appearance in the competition as Liverpool beat F.C. Porto 4–1, during which he scored twice.

He won the Premier League's player of the month award for February, during which he scored four goals in two league appearances, including a hat-trick against Middlesbrough F.C. on 23 February 2008. This hat-trick and another in a 4–0 victory over West Ham United F.C. on 5 March 2008 meant he became the first Liverpool player since Jack Balmer in November 1946 to score a hat-trick in successive home matches. Later in March, after he scored a 47th minute header against Reading F.C. at Anfield, he became the first Liverpool player since Robbie Fowler in the 1995-96 in English football season campaign to score 20 league goals in a season.

In April, he scored another Champions League goal, this time against Arsenal F.C. in the quarter-final second leg, to help take Liverpool through to the semi-final. This goal took him onto 29 goals for the season in all competitions, eclipsing former Liverpool F.C. favourite Michael Owen personal record for goals in a season. On 11 April, 2008, it was announced Torres had made a six man shortlist for the PFA Players' Player of the Year Award, which was eventually won by Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United F.C.. The Spanish international was also nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year Award, which was won by Cesc Fàbregas of Arsenal and was named in the PFA Team of the Year.

On 4 May 2008, Torres scored a 57th minute winner against Manchester City F.C., which equalled the consecutive Anfield league goal record of eight games set by Roger Hunt. After scoring his 24th league goal in the final game of the season, a 2–0 win against Tottenham Hotspur F.C., he set a new record for the most prolific foreign goal scorer ever in a debut season in England, eclipsing Ruud van Nistelrooy's 23 goals. He ended the season in joint second with Emmanuel Adebayor in the race for the Premier League golden boot. Torres was subject to media speculation that Chelsea were willing pay £50 million to sign him but Torres responded by saying it would be "many years" before he left Liverpool. Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks also negated the idea of a transfer, saying he would not allow Torres to leave the club at any price. Torres made a promising start to the Premier League 2008–09 season, scoring the only goal in a 0–1 away win against Sunderland A.F.C.. He suffered what was later confirmed as a hamstring tear in a 0–0 draw against Aston Villa, which would keep him out for two to three weeks.

International career

In February 2001, Torres won the Algarve Tournament with the Spain under-16 team. The under-16s took part in the 2001 UEFA European Under-16 Football Championship in May, which they also won, with Torres scoring the only goal in the final, as well as finishing as the tournament's leading goalscorer and was also named the player of the tournament. making him Spain's top scorer for qualification. In the second group match, Torres scored twice against Tunisia national football team; firstly in the 76th minute to take Spain 2–1 into the lead and then again from a penalty kick in the 90th. He finished the tournament as Spain's joint top scorer alongside fellow striker David Villa with three goals. The Madrileño was called up to Spain's UEFA Euro 2008 squad, where he set up Villa to score Spain's first goal of the tournament in the opening game against Russia national football team. Torres came under criticism for apparently refusing to shake the hand of Spanish manager, Luis Aragonés, after being substituted. He has since denied being angry with the coaching, citing that he was actually "angry with himself". Torres scored the winner and claimed the Man of the match award in the UEFA Euro 2008 Final against Germany national football team in a 1–0 victory. He was later named as a striker along with his striking partner David Villa in the "team of the tournament".

JORGE LORENZO

Jorge Lorenzo (born May 4, 1987 in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain), is a professional motorcycle road racer. He was the 2006 and 2007 250cc World Champion

125s and 250s

Lorenzo made his championship debut on his fifteenth birthday, on the second qualifying day for the 2002 125cc Spanish Grand Prix - having to miss Friday practice as he was not old enough to race. Lorenzo sucks a lollipop every time he has podium finish, in reference to his sponsor Chupa Chups. Lorenzo dominated the 2007 250cc World Championship[2]. His nine pole positions lead to nine victories in 2007, and all his 2006 poles bar Motegi led to victories in 2006.

Jorge's victory at Misano in 2007 was his 16th in the 250cc class, making him the most successful Spanish rider of all time in the 250cc GP class -- with one more victory than Dani Pedrosa and Sito Pons.

MotoGP

After being linked with a Yamaha MotoGP ride for 2008,[3] on 25 July 2007 he was confirmed as Valentino Rossi's partner on a two year deal for the 2008 MotoGP season[4][5]. Lorenzo made a great start to his MotoGP career, after qualifying on pole for the Qatar night race on March 8 and placing 2nd. He followed this up with pole at the second round in Jerez, Spain and 3rd Position, and pole in round 3 at Estoril, Portugal. He converted this pole into a victory, his maiden win in the Premier Class. In doing so, he became the youngest rider in MotoGP to finish on the podium in his first three races[6], taking the record from compatriot (and bitter rival)[7] Dani Pedrosa by a single day.
By this stage of the Championship, Jorge Lorenzo was in joint first place with Pedrosa, but on May 1st 2008 Lorenzo was thrown from his bike during practice for the MotoGP Grand Prix of China. Lorenzo suffered a chipped bone and snapped ligament in his left ankle, and a fractured bone in his right.[8] He was still able to finish the race in 4th place. Two weeks later at Le Mans, Lorenzo suffered two accidents in the practice sessions but managed to post a 2nd place result.[9] In the following race in Italy he crashed during the race after qualifying seventh on the grid[10]. The next week at Catalunya he experienced his fifth crash in four meetings, the practice session accident forcing him to miss the race.

At both Donington Park and Assen he was observed to be riding more conservatively after a series of injuries, but moved up the order in the later part of the race to finish 6th in each case. He has commented that he is stronger in the latter parts of races, preferring the bike when it e.is low on fuel. In the next meeting at Sachsenring, however, Lorenzo crashed out of the race during very wet conditions[11]. Lorenzo suffered yet more injuries to his feet at the USGP at Laguna Seca on July 20, when he experienced his seventh crash in only three months. During the first lap a spectacular highside left Lorenzo with a sore right foot (or ankle) and three broken bones in his left foot, specifically the third, fourth and fifth metatarsals. All Lorenzo could manage at brno was a 10th place because of his michelin tyres lacking grip. At Misano and Lorenzo returned to form and clinched a 2nd place. Indianapolis was also a good race and he stood on the podium again this time in third position.

Alvaro Bautista is one of the Spanish youngsters who proved their potential in the Spanish Movistar Cup which launched countryman Dani Pedrosa's brilliant career. The youngster from Talavera made his Grand Prix debut in 2002, the year in which he also took second overall in the Spanish 125cc Championship. The following year, he only took 20th overall in the 125cc World Championship, but his season was highlighted by a fourth at Phillip Island and a sixth at Valencia, and also by the title he clinched in his domestic championship. 2004 saw him moving to seventh overall after taking four podium finishes, a second place at Donington and third at Losail, Sepang and Valencia. After a disastrous 2005, the following season was Bautista's best ever, as he broke numerous records on his way to eight victories and a maiden 125cc Championship. Staying with the Aspar Team, the Spaniard now moves up to 250cc.
