The first annual Mysteries of the Universe Conference is scheduled for June 7 in Kansas City, Missouri at the Intrigue Park Place Hotel from 8:30 am to 9:30 pm. The conference is the first of its type to be held in the area, and was sparked by the recent flurry of UFO activity in the U.S. and increased reports of paranormal activity in Kansas City.
Toledo firefighters are investigating reports of a mysterious odor in parts of Toledo. The egg smell has brought in reports from the downtown Toledo area and as far west as Dorr Street at Richards.
To this day, no one can say with any certainty what they were or where they were going.
Sure, there are theories.
The wing lights of a commercial airliner, flares tied to balloons, mistaken planets and even mass hallucination have been suggested as possible explanations for the sightings of three unidentified red lights that passed over the skies of Tinley Park in a rough V formation on the nights of Aug 21 and Oct 31 in 2004.
This is a response to the Reality Sandwich article by
ST Frequency, "
Shamans and Charlatans: Assessing Castaneda's Legacy". This writing was particularly initiated by this peculiar pronouncement of ST: ". . . the halls of academia are tarnished with the elevation of charlatans." It appears that ST has perhaps only read Carlos Castaneda's first book and more closely the books of the critic and researcher Richard De Mille,
The Don Juan Papers and
Castaneda's Journey.

The presence of two strange flying creatures caught on camera inside a huge cave in the southern town of Argao, Cebu has baffled local tourism officials.
They believed that the footage captured by a group of call center agents were of fishlike or snakelike objects about a meter long that have been spotted in mountain areas of Mexico, Japan and Europe.
These creatures are called skyfish or flying rods because of their stick-like body. They have appendages along their torsos that reportedly flap in a wave motion while moving.
But according to The Straight Dope, a syndicated column in the US, the video footage are that of ordinary insects. It said that the camera's video capture framerate is too slow to capture the number of cycles of the insect's wing beat, resulting in a distorted image that looks like a flying rod.
"Essentially what you see is several wingbeat cycles of the insect on each frame of the video, creating the illusion of a "rod" with bulges along its length. The blurred body of the insect as it moves forward forms the "rod," and the oscillation of the wings up and down forms the bulges."
Note: Recently, a computer composite by a law enforcement officer in Erath County was posted on this site. The sighting was on January 8, 2008, between 7:30 and 8 p.m. The officer does not wish to be identified for reasons you will find further down in the story. For writing purposes the officer will be identified as Officer X. Officer X is one more witness in an intriguing story now known around the world as 'The Stephenville Lights.' Some are saying the Stephenville event is the most significant UFO sighting since '
The Phoenix Lights' more than a decade ago.
The difference?
These officers didn't see just lights - they saw a craft. A craft they cannot explain or identify - something that looked like it was under intelligent control - something that maneuvered in a way that they had never seen.
On Jan. 8, 2008, a Stephenville, Texas, area law enforcement officer on patrol used his police radar system for tracking speeders to measure the speed of a huge unidentified object in the sky.

IPSWICH - A bit of a mystery is lingering over Crane Beach: A Beverly man wants to know what he saw falling from the sky yesterday afternoon.
Aztec - Legends sometimes are born from facts; other times they come from hope or fear.
Either way, legends prevail when people listen with open minds.
An open mind is all organizers of the 11th Aztec UFO Symposium asked Saturday from the dozens of participants who flooded into the Masonic Lodge.
The symposium, near the alleged UFO crash in Hart Canyon north of Aztec, attracts believers and skeptics from across the country, each looking for evidence of alien life.
