So far, nobody seems to have one, even after a week of debate. A doorbell video, posted on Facebook by Tim Walker, shows a series of rapid flashes that changed in color and size over 20 seconds, from white to a red that filled the horizon. It was recorded Jan. 12, just before 7 p.m., as Walker was rolling a trash bin outside his home about 30 miles southeast of Cincinnati. “Anybody else see this tonight?” he wrote on Facebook. “The sky was flashing pink and purple - super bright. Thought it might be lightning, but it’s fairly cold (40 degrees), and there was no thunder. ...It was crazy — super bright.” “I was scared,” she told Fox 19 News. “I thought it was an explosion when I first saw it, so it made me really nervous.” Commenters on Walker’s video have also shared concerns, with Kendra Fox pointing out: “This is how every alien world domination movie starts!!” Walker wasn’t the only one to see it, April Pierce said on Facebook. “So many people are posting about it in Bethel and Amelia,” she wrote. “Some people said their power even flickered on and off.” While a UFO and aliens have come up as ideas, more down-to-earth speculation has included fireworks, a meteor and a transformer explosion. And the UK Express had a headline that asked: “Mystery US Military test exposed?” Duke Energy told Fox19 that “584 customers lost power for two minutes just before 7 p.m. Sunday,” but a crew sent to inspect the line “found no issues.” Show Stuff The Dark Horde Podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-dark-horde The Dark Horde, LLC – http://www.thedarkhorde.com Twitter @DarkHorde or https://twitter.com/HordeDark TeePublic Store - Get your UBR goodies today! http://tee.pub/lic/2GQuXxn79dg UBR Truth Seekers Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/216706068856746 UFO Buster Radio: https://www.facebook.com/UFOBusterRadio YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCggl8-aPBDo7wXJQ43TiluA To contact Manny: manny@ufobusterradio.com, or on Twitter @ufobusterradio Call the show anytime at (972) 290-1329 and leave us a message with your point of view, UFO sighting, and ghostly experiences or join the discussion on www.ufobusterradio.com For Skype Users: bosscrawler...moreCopy Link

In today's episode, Rob talks us through one of the most important skills you can have as an entrepreneur, managing and mastering your emotions. Rob dives into what could trigger your emotions and gives some top tips on how to manage them and stop them affecting your future success and enable you to be the best version of yourself! KEY TAKEAWAYS -Most important factor in your entrepreneurship or business that will determine your success or failure is how you manage and master your emotions.   - Emotions are triggered by your previous experiences which have formed and created an emotional response or reaction. It is not a conscious thought, it is an unconscious reaction to the environment or people.   -You are not your emotions, your emotions are reactions and feedback to the environment and places and people. They are also your past experiences appearing as a feeling.   -If your emotions hijack you, you end up becoming a ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ type personality, whereby when you’re logical and not triggered you are acting based on your own pure thoughts and actions and desires. However, when you become triggered and emotional you become a non-true version of you.   -Mastering your emotions is understanding what they are and how they’re triggered, and then controlling and managing them.   -When you experience people, you don’t experience them as they are. You experience them as you are, through your own emotional response to them. This is not your conscious mind, this is your unconscious mind or your body-mind.   -Your reactions to your clients, critics, staff and partners are all based on your past experiences being dragged into the present and therefore are affecting your future and this is not the truth.   -Managing your emotions is: Step 1: Notice when you get triggered. Step 2: Understand where that emotion came from. Step 3: Understand that that is happening to others.   -Significant emotional events in your past are triggering your present and dictating your future. If you let the emotions get the better of you, then you’re letting the past dictate the present which will ruin the future.   -Never make important decisions when you are emotional. Always make them when you are logical, calm and not triggered. Learn to smile, be calm and still and walk away.   BEST MOMENTS “This is not life, this is how you perceive it to be.”   “The maximum growth is on the border of support and challenge”   “Master your emotions and you master your entrepreneurship”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ ABOUT THE HOSTRob Moore is the host of the UK’s no. 1 business podcast “The Disruptive Entrepreneur,” and “The Money Podcast” as well as an entrepreneur, property investor, property educator, and holder of 3 world records for public speaking.
