EBO Noah, also known as Igno Noah or Ebo Jesus, is a Ghanian self-proclaimed prophet. He has prophesied that there will be a three-year flood that will cover the Earth in an endless ocean on December 25. The only way to survive? Board one of the wooden arks that he was chosen to build by God himself.
No one has any information on his real name and location. His social media is attracting a large number of followers. He usually posts videos of himself wearing ragged clothing and reading from a book. Moreover, he also posts videos of him reading from a book, or inspecting his wooden arks, posing himself as quite the saviour figure.

Noah has been ridiculed on social media, with people asking him if his arks have Wi-Fi access, or if the passengers can carry out digital transactions on the ark. However, that does not seem to deter him at all.
He has been talking about the looming danger since August, insisting that he has been instructed by God to build up to 10 arks. Sources say that his arks can hold up to a few thousand people. He also claimed that at one point, animals began arriving at the site of the ark construction due to divine instruction being given to them. The only way one can find out about him is by staying tuned till Christmas.

The Stratolaunch Model 35, designed to carry air-launch-to-orbit rockets, and now repurposed to offer air launch hypersonic flight testing, is an engineering marvel. It has been nicknamed Roc after the giant mythical bird that can carry even an elephant in its talons. It looks as if two jets have been fused together. The combined wingspan of its two fuselages adds up to 385 feet, making the Roc wider than a 300-foot American football field.
