Midsummer Fires Factoids

Lest we forget...

• The modern UFO era began this day in 1947. 

• The first Masonic Grand Lodge was established this day in 1717. 

• The Sovereign Order of the Solar Temple was established this day in 1966. Not to be confused with the similarly named Order of the Solar Temple, this group claimed Princess Grace of Monaco as a member. 

• It's also The Feast Day of St. John the Baptist, venerated by both the Knights Templar and the Freemasons.

Speaking of blue and gold and warriors, it's also the 22nd birthday of Solange Knowles (no relation).
