David Bowie photographed by Roger Bamber in 1973. This was a field in Scotland during the tour – the bus stopped and Bowie just mucked about for Roger while they waited for the “back on the bus” call.
Roger said: “It was a really fun time. That sort of stuff backstage never got used before but it was a great time to be a fly on the wall. Most of those pictures no one has ever seen. Most I hadn’t seen since I took them. It was incredible.”
FAUAP : KR2-UFOLRG73
This photo, taken in Seoul in 1973, offers a view of the city's bustling downtown and residential complexes. Hovering in the sky is a UAP, appearing to be in motion and captured from a close distance, presumably from a hill. The photographer's identity remains unknown.
What makes the photo stand out is the enigmatic green light seen on a distant ridge. This light, often reported at locations separate from the UAP sightings, is notably present in this picture as well. Whether this light results from the UAP's interaction with the ground or from some form of detection remains speculative.
Captured around midday, the UAP displays a distinct disc shape. The upper part is visibly solid, while the lower part shows a grooved design along the disc. Within the grooves, an element that appears to emit something can be seen. At the base, landing gear, potentially used for touchdown, is visible.
From the motion blur in the photograph, it can be inferred that the photographer had to move the camera to keep the UAP within the frame. This detail, along with the unique characteristics of the UAP and the mysterious green light, add layers of intrigue to this piece of historical photographic evidence.
We love David Bowie.

Roderick Doyle and Professor John Winston thinly veiled parodies of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson, find themselves taking on the Vampires in this strange 70s comic story.
I made this drawing of this drawing of Nurse Flower Child "Coffy" Coffin from the blaxploitation film Coffy (1973) , played by Pam Grier Coffy is a stong take no prisoners character; I won't spoil the movie for y'all but if any of you folks get chance to check it out you should.

The pain in hell has two sides. The kind you can touch with your hand. The kind you can feel in your heart.
Your soul, the spiritual side.
And ya know... the worst of the two ... is the spiritual.

Minnesota Viking quarterback #10 Fran Tarkenton. The game is at Metropolitan Stadium. I am going to guess the season is 1973. Once in awhile, the Vikings home jerseys did not have the gold and white stripes on the sleeves that season.
