Australia: Huge blast rocks homes

Hinterland properties across Guanaba and Canungra have been rocked by a mysterious explosion that has left police, fire crews and the Department of Defence scratching their heads.

Residents have told The Bulletin of a violent shockwave that hit about 8.30pm on Thursday, shattering windows and shaking houses.

The pulse was so strong a demountable building in Coomera Valley Drive shifted on the stumps it was mounted on.

But police have been unable to find any source of an explosion, a seismology expert has ruled out any earth tremor and the Defence Department is adamant there were no explosions at the nearby Canungra army base or supersonic aircraft over southeast Queensland on Thursday night.

Comment: It is very curious how out of all of these explanations, not once is there a mention that it is possible that it could be a meteorite exploding above the earth.

England: Brightlingsea - Police officer saw 'alien craft'

A police officer is one of a number of witnesses to report UFO sightings across Essex.

The officer claims to have spotted strange lights in the sky above Brightlingsea on New Year's Eve.

It was described as a "bright orange/yellow light in the sky". It was "quite large" and about 1,500 to 2,000 ft up in the air.

England: Did we come face-to-face with elusive beast on our own doorstep?

A couple have told they came face-to-to face with a big cat on their patio.

Heidi Robinson said her husband, Dave, had gone outside at their Whatstandwell cottage to gather some logs when he encountered the beast.

Mrs Robinson, of Blundestone Lane, said her husband had joked that it was a werewolf, as it had been a full moon when he saw the animal.

"It was about 10pm and Dave was about to go outside to get some logs and went to the back door when this big black cat appeared and ran across the patio," said the 36-year-old.

"It then climbed up on to a garden wall and jumped over the side and there is about an eight-foot drop to the bottom.

US: Randolph, New Jersey residents among those reporting UFO sightings

Were you watching the township skies between 8:30 and 9 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 26?

If you were, then perhaps you, like many others, saw what appeared to be three reddish lights the size of golf balls hovering in the night sky.

According to a woman who called this newspaper on Thursday, Jan. 29, the lights silently hovered "about a foot apart in a triangle" before splitting apart, then coming together and flying off.

The woman, who lives in the township's Ironia section, declined to identify herself, saying she didn't want people to think she was of unsound mind.

But, she said several people and students at the high school saw it, and heard from police that the lights had been seen elsewhere in the township.

Comment: There is always the possibility of some sightings being chinese lanterns. But it is hardly likely that they would stop, do aerial maneuvers and then fly off.

The "chinese lantern" explanation is getting as old as swamp gas and Venus.
