Date of Sighting: 08112009
Time: 12.30am Sunday 8th 2009
Witness Statement: At12.30am I was checking on my two boys who were asleep when something made me look out of their window, as I moved the curtains I noticed what I thought was a plane coming over the houses opposite, there seemed something unusual about it. As it got nearer I could see it was very large and shaped like a triangle with three orange lights, two at the bottom and one on the top, I was so surprised by this, I ran into our other bedroom were my wife was, and got her to look out at it. This is when we saw the second object, following in the same southerly direction, the lights were not flashing and there was no sound of engines running as by this time I had opened the window to have a better look.

Time was for 2 hours between 6:30pm CST(Central Standard Time) to 8:45pm. Place is Tira, Texas 75482...that's 16 miles north of Sulphur Springs. This area is about half-way between Dallas and Texarcana in Hopkins County. Our house is on FM1536 which is off HWY19 and about 2 miles from Cooper Damn. Sky is real clear with hardly any humidity, no clouds, cold, with no wind.
I like to go outside and watch/search the skies after dark to see what everything looks like. Having done this so often, I become familiar with overhead airline flight patterns, random small planes, occasional helicopters, their shapes, colors, sounds, and usual flight patterns and motions...and their height in the sky. I also see many meteors and unexplained sights than most just because I go out sometimes more than once a night, if weather permits. Now, the story I'm going to tell you is true and I will try to give specific details. I have no good binoculars, telescope, or digital camera, so I cannot document my story except for the fact that tonight my 19 year old son witnessed most of this with me.

Experts say a fire ball that streaked across the sky above south-east Queensland last night was a "chip off the old block of some asteroid".
The meteor was spotted by people from the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast and across Brisbane around 9.45pm.
Witnesses said the meteor was a green glow travelling from south-east to north-west, leaving a visible trail for 10 to 15 minutes.
Speaking on ABC radio this morning, Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium curator Mark Rigby ruled out space junk as an explanation.

Keesler confirms jet training
Pascagoula - The boom that rattled windows in Pascagoula and Moss Point, swamped police phone lines and brought entire neighborhoods of people out of their homes to see what was happening was almost as much a mystery Wednesday as it was Tuesday night when it happened.
Keesler Air Force base told city police around 8:45 p.m. Tuesday the boom was caused by military jets on a training exercise in the Gulf, but that the jets were not from Keesler.
On Wednesday security at the base reconfirmed the jets had contacted the tower Tuesday night and were told there was a training exercise.
But what jets, and whose jets were flying at supersonic speeds over the Gulf at night?

A basketball-sized chunk of ice crashed through the roof of a family's Colorado home after apparently falling from an airplane passing overhead. Danelle Hagan and her 9-year-old daughter were at home in Brush on Saturday when they heard the kitchen ceiling come crashing down. They were not injured.
"I hear a huge, what sounded like an explosion. And I look over and my kitchen is basically in shambles," Hagan told KMGH-TV in Denver. "It was very terrifying."
The Federal Aviation Administration was sending investigators to the home to investigate whether the ice came from an airplane. The Hagans put some of the ice in their freezer.
FAA spokesman Mike Fergus said Wednesday the ice chunk appears to be "Rime ice," which can build up on the outside of a plane's fuselage when it flies through cold and wet air.

Liberal - - The 2-inch-diameter gun-metal black rock that 10-year-old Chandler Harp found Saturday in his Liberal backyard traveled a long way to get there.
"There's no question in my mind whatsoever that what they have is a meteorite," said Don Stimpson of Haviland, a biophysicist who owns the Kansas Meteorite Museum and Nature Center on U.S. 54/400 near Greensburg.

A fast moving meteor lit up the night skies over most of Utah just after midnight Wednesday. Moments later, the phones lit up at KSL as people across the state called to tell us what they saw and ask what it was.
Utahns are still talking Wednesday about what scientists are calling a "remarkable midnight fireball." The source of all the excitement was basically a rock, falling from space. When a meteor enters the atmosphere, it gives off a lot of heat and light.
Folks at the Clark Planetarium say this rock was big--between the size of a microwave and washer-dryer unit.

This is the ghostly picture taken at the former Roe Valley Hospital showing a nurse like figure holding a baby that has put paranormal sceptics in a spin, and sparked fresh supernatural investigations into the grounds.
The photo, taken by a night time LCDI security guard just a few months ago, has been deemed by experts as authentic and reignited examinations into the ghoulish goings on at the former workhouse. The picture was passed onto paranormal investigators at the Paranormal Society Ireland who analysed the photo for two to three months before releasing it. LCDI manager Damien Corr, the first person to be shown the picture, says he was taken aback by the image.

If reports are to believed, on the Utah Idaho border, near the Bear Lake it seems that the Bear Lake Monster is again surfacing and seen. A creature which sometimes resembles like a beast, walrus or a dinosaur was first sighted in 2004. The locals call it the Bear Lake Monster and it originally grew from articles in the 19th century by Joseph C Rich, a Mormon Colonizer in the area.
The Bear Lake monster also appears in Animal Planet's Lost Tapes.
The Bear Lake Monster is believed to be like a huge brown snake of around 90 feet long. It has ears that stick out from the side of its skinny head and its big mouth is capable enough to eat a man. Many say that it has small legs and can swim very fast, even faster than a horse can gallop.
