DALLAS—The young Houston Rockets are getting even younger with another pair of first-round picks. The Rockets added the first player drafted out of the Overtime Elite pro league to the NBA's highest-ever G League selection of two years ago. Then they picked an 18-year-old for the second time in three years. All the rest of the draft moves from Southwest Division teams were going to be footnotes Thursday night after the San Antonio Spurs took French sensation Victor Wembanyama No. 1 overall. Houston was up first, and left little question that Ime Udoka's return to coaching will be with one of the youngest set of core players in the NBA.

Date of sighting: July 9, 2023 Location of sighting: Idaho, Washington and BC Canada. Watch this security cam catch as a glowing object too slow to be a meteor and has no tail or fragmentation like most meteors have. The UFO is seen moving across the sky, at an angle of about 45 degrees. It's seen passing behind the mountains where it disappears. The object looks big, about the size of a 727 passenger jet, but it's flat and disk-like. We view it from below so we only see its bottom, but it blinding light makes the roundness less defined.
