Steve Nixon, a 44 year-old Derby, England man had a heart attack while riding his motorbike causing him to swerve into the path of an oncoming car. Nixon's heart stopped several times at the scene and he was revived by paramedics before being airlifted to University Hospital Coventry. Once there, his heart stopped an additional twenty-three times. Doctors were able to restart Nixon's heart each time and were finally able to fit him with a pacemaker to stabilize his heartbeat so they could repair a torn artery.
Dr. Dawn Adamson, Consultant Cardiologist at the hospital said Nixon was suffering from a tear in the main artery supplying the heart. He wasn't stable enough to survive heart surgery. Instead, doctors opted for a two-hour surgery that provided scaffolding to the damaged arteries supplying blood to the heart.
Nixon, a father of three, is thankful to the doctors for working so hard to save his life. He credits not only the doctors but the love of his family for his amazing recovery. Nixon's wife, Miriam, put a family photograph on the back of his door so it would be the first thing he saw if he didn't perish.
This story could have had a tragic ending but, thankfully, it didn't. I love a happy ending and this most certainly is one.

British Documents Reveal Secret UFO Study
On Thursday, August 5, 2010, Britain released hundreds of secret "UFO files". Included in the documents was a letter detailing a 50-year cover-up of a wartime encounter between a British military pilot and a UFO.
The documents contain various witness accounts, briefing notes and sketches regarding sightings of unidentified flying objects.
One of the most interesting documents is a Military of Defense note referring to a 1999 letter by an unidentified author regarding a Royal Air Force plane that was "approached by a metallic UFO" while returning from a European mission during World War II. The author of the letter claims his grandfather was in attendance during a meeting between Winston Churchill and United States president Dwight D. Eisenhower when both leaders "decided to keep it secret", referring to the UFO incident.
This isn't the first release of classified documents detailing unidentified flying objects that by Britain. Other documents have slowly been released to the public and are accessible on the Internet for anyone who wishes to read them.
While some of the cases have explanations such as meteors burning up in the atmosphere, many of the cases remain unsolved. The incidents span decades and cover all areas of Britain from Kent to Manchester to northern England. Also included in this release is information about the infamous Rendelsham Forest Incident at Suffolk in December of 1980.
For more information and to download and read the newly released documents as well as previously released British UFO files, visit the United Kingdom National Archives. The documents are in PDF format and the size ranges from 3 to 54 MB in size so you may wish to download them before viewing.
