Mirage Men

This upcoming documentary seems interesting, and not mainly because it's about UFOs, but because it tackles the disinformation and misdirection associated with the whole UFO phenomenon. Admittedly, it has a strong debunking feel to it, and it has already begun getting heat from all over the place, just from the trailer! I guess we'll have to wait and see for ourselves..

Small Plastic on Mars to be determined

The ChemCam on the Curiosity Rover on Mars, picked up this very small object, appearing to be plastic, on the Martian soil…. And:

The rover team's assessment is that the bright object is something from the rover, not Martian material. It appears to be a shred of plastic material, likely benign, but it has not been definitively identified….

…A sample of sand and dust scooped up on Sol 61 remains in the scoop. Plans to transfer it from the scoop into other chambers of the sample-processing device were postponed as a precaution during planning for Sol 62 after the small, bright object was detected in an image from the Mast Camera (Mastcam).

Precaution against what? Hmmmmm…..
It could very well be something from the rover, but consider the alternative: If Mars was ever visited by alien races, their traces would be right there, preserved in the untouched Martian terrain. Now all we need to do is get up there and see for ourselves.

Nasa Story

Pillars of light and Orange UFOs

The above video is three photos allegedly taken after a severe storm in Japan (location unknown) showing giant pillars of white light reaching to the sky.
Not much is known and most people where quick to proclaim hoax.
I cannot be sure even if it looks like a poor Photoshop job, because in this day and age, who does photo hoaxes any more?
And, in response to my own rationale, why (in this day and age again) has no one posted a video of the same incidents?  We’ll see..

And in the above video, a new (?) kind of UFO, Hexagon-shaped and orange, seems to be making the rounds around the globe.

Seriously, there’s so much UFO activity posted every day on YouTube that it’s just not worth it posting every single one! Did anyone say UFO flap? We haven’t heard that in ages. But that’s a topic for another post.

The Easter Island Heads have bodies!

Somehow this is a disappointment. I cannot explain but giant heads are way cooler than giant statues, aren’t they?
And the weird part is that it is discovered in the year 2012, centuries after the Island is found.. So much for modern science…
I wonder if the machinery under the belly of the Sphinx will be discovered in my lifetime.

Mystery object in the Baltic finally seen

Exactly one year ago, I had posted about this round object found by sonar outside Sweden in the bottom of the Baltic Sea.

Now we have pictures and a video from a research team:
The bad news is that it is definitely not a UFO. The good news is that it appears man-made, a kind of circular structure built with rounded limestone.

Samples where taken and I imagine sometime in the near future we’ll know more.
In the meantime check out the video below.

Overtoun Bridge - Suicide spot for dogs

In this bizarre follow-up to the Human Suicide Spot, Aokigahara Forest, Japan, I must now share the only animal suicide spot I have ever come across: Overtoun Bridge, Scotland.

This quaint old bridge is, apparently, the spot where, since the 1950's, numerous dogs have plunged to their deaths, more than 600, at a rate of one a month (!)..  To make things stranger, although most of the dogs died from the 15 meter fall, those that survived climbed back up and jumped again! I imagine they all succeeded the second time around, so no reports of third tries...
Attempts have been made to explain the phenomenon, attributing it to smells dogs cannot resist, noises or a general lack of visibility from a dog's height, but none of it makes much sense.
No paranormal theories, no conspiracy, no alien sightings, no haunted castle here. This is indeed a weird one.
I just have to quote a misquoted Ian Fleming: "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action and over 600 is clearly the work of an ancient Sumerian demon or some shit."
