A green UFO that lit up the night sky over Ipswich has the man who saw it and experts in the field baffled.

"I've never seen anything like it before," UFO Research Queensland president Sheryl Gottschall said.

Booval's Arthur Sollitt took a video recording of the bizarre object and after replaying the video many times he is still none the wiser.

"As far as I am concerned it is an unidentified flying object, but whether it is earth-made or something from outer space... you just wouldn't know," he said.

The QT has seen Mr Sollitt's video recording and it can be found on our website.

The green UFO swoops across the sky with what appears to be a set of wings at times before morphing from other angles into a saucer shape.

A white light moves around the UFO.

Mr Sollitt, a former speedway racer who won the world derby in 1980, was moved to come forward with the recording after the QT received texts and a letter about strange lights in the sky.

If you're abducted by alien beings, are you physically absent?

This happens to be an important issue for the media-shy people gathered one afternoon last July on the porch of Anne Ramsey Cuvelier's blue Victorian inn on Narragansett Bay, in Rhode Island, once called "the most elegantly finished house ever built in Newport." Co-designed in 1869 by a cousin of Ralph Waldo Emerson's, it has been in Cuvelier's family since 1895, when her great-grandfather bought it as a summer getaway from his winter home blocks away, just as the Gilded Age cottages of the Vanderbilts and Astors began springing up across the island, redefining palatial extravagance. Still imposing with its butternut woodwork, ebony trimmings, and four-story paneled atrium frescoed in the Pompeian style, the harborside mansion turned B&B seemed a fittingly baroque setting for the group of reluctant guests Cuvelier describes as "not a club anyone wants to belong to."

She had gathered them to compare experiences as, well, "experiencers," a term they prefer to "abductees," and to socialize free of stigma among peers. Cuvelier, an elegant and garrulous woman in her 70s, isn't one of them. But she remembers as a teen in the 1940s hearing her father, Rear Admiral Donald James Ramsey, a World War II hero, muttering about strange flying craft that hovered and streaked off at unimaginable speed, and she's been an avid ufologist ever since. "I want to get information out so these people don't have to suffer," she says. "Nobody believes you. You go through these frightening experiences, and then you go through the ridicule."

So, for a week each summer for almost two decades, she's been turning away paying guests at her family's Sanford-Covell Villa Marina, on the cobblestoned waterfront in Newport, to host these intimate gatherings of seemingly ordinary folk with extraordinary stories, along with the occasional sympathetic medical professional and scientist and other brave or foolhardy souls not afraid to be labeled nuts for indulging a fascination with the mystery. I had been invited as a journalist with a special interest who has been talking to some of them for several years.

Perched on a wicker settee was Linda Cortile, a mythic figure in the canons of abduction literature, whom I'd come to know by her real name, Linda Napolitano. A stylish young grandmother in a green T-shirt, black shorts, and a charcoal baseball cap, she had agreed to meet me months before at Manhattan's South Street Seaport to point at her 12th-floor window overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge, where, she says, one night in 1989 three small beings levitated her "like an angel" into a hovering craft in view of horrified witnesses, including, it was said, a mysterious world figure who might have been abducted with her. "If I was hallucinating," she told me, "then the witnesses saw my hallucination. That sounds crazier than the whole abduction phenomenon."

Astronomers across the world make a game of spotting secret government spy satellites, tracking them, and sometimes sharing the information with plausible deniability. Not everything in Earth orbit has a prosaic explanation like this object.

First publicized in Disneyland Of The Gods, John Keel wrote of an object observed in polar orbit. Its size was beyond the known means of any terrestrial space program and once in the public consciousness more observations were recorded. Some ham radio operators, precursors to today's basement-dwelling neckbeards, claimed eavesdropping on strange signals from the satellite dubbed "The Black Knight". From the ground it was a glowing, red object moving in an east-to-west orbit contrary to contemporary satellites. Life gets more interesting as humans take their first steps into space.

First known observation of TBK from orbit was by Gordon Cooper bringing forth explanations that Gordo was tripping balls from a build-up of carbon dioxide, but the sightings didn't stop there. One of the more famous photos floating around the internet is from STS-088 (1 2 3 4 5 6), spied from Endeavor back in 1987 long before Photoshop was a twinkle in a pervert's eye.

Did a woman unwittingly capture the creeping presence of an alien creature lurking outside her vehicle? Or is it something else entirely?

This eerie photograph popped online today, inciting some heated debate rational explanations for what certainly looks like a bug-eyed figure peering through a car window.

"My friend took a picture in the car... there's nobody outside the car," user cblmnop posted to reddit.

Instantly, the comments lit up with possible explanations for the image. Photoshop, pareidolia, and fog were popular choices, with "billboard of a woman wearing sunglasses" ranking pretty highly. Anyone who dared even mention anything paranormal was downvoted into oblivion.

Dog walkers are demanding floodlights be installed at a local cemetery because it can be "spooky" at night - and their fears were confirmed by an expert in paranormal activity.

Sue Hamparsum is one of many pet owners who walk their dogs among gravestones that date back hundreds of years at the oldest cemetery on the north shore, Saint Thomas Rest Park, in Crows Nest.

Dozens of pet owners visit the park during the daytime but most are quick to scurry home at sundown, when the area becomes a bit eerie.

"There are rumours the park is haunted," Ms Hamparsum said.

"(Over the years) some of the headstones have been removed but the people are still buried there."

In response to these tales, The Daily Telegraph invited Janine Donnellan, from Soul Searches Paranormal Investigations, to test if the park was haunted. Ms Donnellan has been investigating spirits for more than 15 years and has a certificate of Advanced Achievement in Parapsychology from the Australian Academy of Applied Parapsychology.

Global mapping platforms like Google Earth, WikiSky and other contenders offer hours, even days of amusement. Some pretty freaky things have been found, including dead bodies, criminal activity, UFOs and even, ahem, couples enjoying intimate moments together.

Anomaly hunters pore over published maps, looking for weird things and, naturally, some of the attention is drawn to myths out of the pre-digital world. Is there a bigger, unsolved mystery than the Loch Ness Monster?

Mappers have studied Loch Ness inch by inch because finding "Nessie" would be the scoop of the century. But, maybe, they're looking in the wrong place?

A video on YouTube comes close to making the assertion that the Loch Ness Monster has been found. Not in Scotland, but near the bottom of the globe in Antarctica.

The screenshot above is a still frame from a YouTube video postulating that a mysterious, long-necked, hump-backed shape lying frozen in a vast expanse of the South Pole may actually be a fossilized Plesiosaurus, an extinct, reptilian dinosaur long suspected of having just one descendant left on Earth and plying her trade in the deep lakes of Scotland.

The object certainly resembles the classic shape. But is it the "Nessie" of legend?

If so, she's a long way from home.

When most people go on trips abroad, they tend to collect photos or souvenirs, but Miley Cyrus' mementos are a bit more sinister.

The star returned home from her stay in London with a ghost story, which probably shouldn't come as a surprise, considering the long and turbulent history of the city.

But the specters that chose to manifest in front of the Cyrus family sound like a particularly creepy bunch.

"It was seriously so terrifying. It used to be an old bakery and they turned it into an apartment building, and I was having really crazy dreams and really scary things," Cyrus told Elle U.K.

Apparently the ghosts weren't satisfied with just haunting the singer's dreams though.

"And one night my little sister - it sounds crazy to tell you - but, she was standing in the shower and all of a sudden I hear her scream. I run in there and the water had somehow flipped to hot but it was still...

It wasn't like the water had just changed, the knob had turned but she hadn't turned it and it was burning her. She was really red."

Abha - A sorcerer notorious for "making wolves kill jinn" has been arrested in Al-Kara village in Al-Habil, which comes under Rijal Alma governorate.

Al-Habil Police, together with members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Hai'a), made the arrest at 9 a.m. Saturday.

The sorcerer was apprehended at his home, where the police and Hai'a seized many copies of a book on witchcraft and sorcery as well as related paraphernalia. Two wild wolves were found in his possession. According to some sources, he used to make the wolves eat the jinn.

Another source said the sorcerer was well known for treating diseases.

Looking for a side job with decent pay, odd hours, and a possible brush with the unexplained? Being paranormal bait might just be the job for you, and there's at least one group hiring.

The 42 member strong ACAM, or Association of Haunt Mariana, in Belo Horizonte, Portugal has been dealing with all manner of terror inflicted by their own version of the Chupacabra: the menacing Caboclo D'Água, a bizarre monster seen as responsible for the mass deaths of livestock, and has even been blamed for the death of at least four humans.

ACAM says the creature resembles the monstrous amalgamation of several animals, with the body of a monkey, legs like a chicken, and head and scales resembling a lizard. It's believed the creature lives underwater, only coming onto the dry land in order to prey upon helpless victims.

Two years ago, the Caboclo D'Água allegedly killed a young boy, pulling his testicles out as he was swimming in one of the region's rivers.

Since then, ACAM has been working on a plan to capture the beast once and for all, and settled on a scheme involving a river, a huge metal cage, and a piece of bait. Human bait.

How do you get a person to offer themselves up to a monster? You offer them a thousand bucks a day.

More Gladstone residents have confirmed the appearance of a strange light in the sky over Tannum Sands on Saturday night.

A reader yesterday shared how he had seen the UFO, which appeared as a bright orange light moving quite fast at first, then becoming almost stationary before moving off again.

"It came back several times and moved the same way each time. We saw it three different times, as did our neighbours and some friends in Gladstone. Definitely no ordinary aircraft or satellite."

Reader Natalie said: "We were in Booth Ave and saw a bright orange light shoot into the sky, and then it stopped and was still for at least five minutes.
