Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Boston.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Monday, June 24th.
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the weather report, then we'll jump into
some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science and entertainment.
At first, you'll be interested to know, 77 years ago, today in 1947.
Pilot Kenneth Arnold saw something mysterious while flying past Mount Rainier.
His account involving nine shiny objects moving at extraordinary speeds introduced the term
flying saucer to the world.
Despite Arnold's attempts to clarify his description, the media sensationalized the
story making flying saucers a global phenomenon.
Today with advanced technology like drones and satellites, we continue to explore the
skies urging all observers to apply critical thinking to their discoveries.

In local news, Jalen Brown lost a ring during the Celtics Championship Parade and is offering
a reward for its return.
The ring, marked with a 7 and surrounded by diamonds, was lost on Friday.
Brown, who averaged 21 points per game and was named finals MVP, celebrated the NBA title
with teammates including Jason Tatum.
The Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks in five games to win their 18th championship.
Brown will receive his first NBA championship ring when the new season opens at TD Garden.
And now on to sports.
Tonight, if the Edmonton Oilers win Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, it would end a 30
year drought for Canadian teams and spark nationwide celebration.
A win would validate the Conor McDavid era, fulfill lifelong dreams for players and reward
long suffering fans.
For owner Darryl Katz, it would mark the completion of a 16 year journey.
This development, including stand up performances by Stuart Skinner and Philip Broberg, has
been key.
Contract negotiations with Leandre Zael and Evan Bouchard will be crucial this summer.
GM, Ken Holland's legacy would be cemented and Nick David's greatness affirmed.
In local sports, the Red Sox on the road beat the Reds 7 to 4.
And tonight.
They're back at home to take on the Blue Jays for a three game series.
In top news, a new study suggests gently touching your arms and fingertips may help stop body
focused repetitive behaviors like nail biting and skin picking.
Over half of participants who tried this habit replacement technique saw improvement.
This method could benefit those unable to access mental health treatment.
Researchers found that making gentle circling motions on certain body parts reduced these
addictive behaviors, which can lead to serious consequences.
Experts recommend trying this technique while remaining patient as behavior change takes
time.
If the technique is ineffective, consulting a cognitive behavioral therapist is advised.

Let's talk tech.
Silicon Valley startups are increasingly entering the defense market, driven by conflicts like
those in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Former restaurant tech entrepreneurs Lou Gallin and Steven Simone launched Allen Control Systems
to develop affordable drone countermeasures.
They join other tech founders like Palmer Lucky and Joe Lonsdale in leveraging commercial
technologies for military applications.
Companies like D-Drone and Andoril are adapting dual-use products for defense, securing significant
venture capital investment.
While some VC funds avoid defense tech, others view it as a necessity in today's geopolitical
climate.
The trend signals a shift in Silicon Valley's relationship with the military.
