Death on the Great Dunes: The strange case of the first cattle mutilation

Colorado's beautiful San Luis Valley is full of interesting stories.

It's home to the oldest town in the entire state so it should come as no surprise that a "ghostly train" still runs the lines. The area has a thriving community of "Crypto-Jews" and even the Amish. But perhaps the most perculiar story that the Valley can lay claim to is one of particular importance to UFOlogy and general fringe weirdness: the story of "Snippy" the horse - the first cattle mutilation associated with strange lights in the sky.

On September 9th, 1967, Harry King left his humble ranch in search of Lady, his three year old mare. He and his mother had noted that she hadn't mosied back to the ranch for water in three days, something that was particularly odd considering how dry and hot the weather had been. Their fears were realized when they found Lady, or most of her anyway, laying on her side with her neck stripped bare to the bone.

Back in October, reports of a mysterious, long-necked creature began popping up in West Berkshire, England. The locals dubbed it the "Creature from Curridge". Well, almost three months later the odd creature is still stalking the neighborhood, prompting a crack team of monster hunters to jump on the case: The Curridge Primary School student body.

The creature was first spotted by 67 year old Don Prater, out for a walk with his dog.

UFO in Bay of Islands?

Strange Lights

Paihia man Rob Clarke has no time for theories about little green men and swears the strongest thing he drank was a cup of tea - but he's stumped by the lights he saw travelling across the sky on Sunday night.

Mr Clarke went outside his Te Haumi home about 9.40pm to see if rain was coming. Instead he saw a pair of lights travelling slowly across a clear sky from south to north, starting in the direction of Opua and disappearing some three to five minutes later over the hill towards Russell.

They were travelling slowly enough that Mr Clarke was able to call his wife outside, who was equally gobsmacked.

The lights were bright and while it was hard to judge their height they did not appear to be higher than a regular aircraft.

A UFO witness from Cotulla, Texas claims to have captured the landing of a "disc shaped ufo" on a security camera, a new MUFON report reveals. The image shows what appears to be a thin, circular object hovering above the ground, with three visible lights that look to be in motion at the time the image was grabbed.

The report is as follows:

Are the Los Roques islands the new Bermuda Triangle?

The archipelago off the coast of Venezuela, where fashion designer Vittorio Missoni's plane disappeared mid-air, has a growing reputation for mysterious vanishings.

The as-yet-unexplained disappearance last Friday of the plane carrying six passengers and crew, including Italian fashion mogul Vittorio Missoni, has prompted some to blame the "Los Roques curse".

The label has been attached to a series of mysterious plane crashes and "vanishings" over the past decade or so between the Caribbean archipelago of Los Roques and the Venezuelan capital Caracas, 140km to the south. Inevitably, comparisons have been made with the infamous Bermuda Triangle, the area between Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico that has long had a reputation for unexplained disappearances of ships and planes.

To date, no wreckage of Missoni's plane has been located since it took off from Los Roques for Caracas. A hotel owner on the islands said he last saw the plane - a twin-engine BN-2 Islander built in 1968 - entering a bank of clouds. Meanwhile, the Missoni family said it was not ruling out the possibility that the plane had been hijacked by local drug smugglers. Venezuela's civil aviation authority said the aircraft's last recorded position was 18km south of the Los Roques.

Extraterrestrial walks on Taiwan's Newscast


Forget the Yeti. Forget Bigfoot. Taiwan has an 8' alien and photos on TV to prove it. Residents of Taitung took photos of the alien back in May, near Jiaming Lake. Only this week have the photographs become public.

Taiwan is unusual in that it has a publicly funded agency, TUFOS, which studies aliens and "has more experts with doctorate degrees than Obama has in his cabinet." This last comes from Scott C. Waring, an ex-patriot UFOlogist who owns and operates an ESL School in Taiwan.

Question

What, exactly, is that radar anomaly in Mason County?

Radar Anomaly

It may not be extraterrestrial activity, but a permanent imprint on the central Illinois Doppler radar even has the National Weather Service stumped.

A mysterious "beam of interference" has been etched into the Lincoln Doppler radar since Nov. 16, according to a bulletin on the National Weather Service website. The rogue beam extends westward from Lincoln through the middle of Mason County, near Manito, the bottom of Fulton County and onward into the state of Iowa.

"We're not sure what it is yet," said Llyle Barker, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Lincoln. "4G has caused interference before, so it might be a 4G tower."

Martian rock from Sahara desert unlike others

Scientists are abuzz about a coal-colored rock from Mars that landed in the Sahara desert: A yearlong analysis revealed it's quite different from other Martian meteorites.

Not only is it older than most, it also contains more water. The baseball-size meteorite, estimated to be 2 billion years old, is strikingly similar to the volcanic rocks examined by the NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity on the Martian surface.

"Here we have a piece of Mars that I can hold in my hands. That's really exciting," said Carl Agee, director of the Institute of Meteoritics and curator at the University of New Mexico who led the study published online Thursday in the journal Science.

Most space rocks that fall to Earth as meteorites come from the asteroid belt, but a number can be traced to the moon and Mars.

Scientists believe an asteroid or some other large object struck Mars, dislodging rocks and sending them into space. Occasionally, some plummet through Earth's atmosphere.

Short of sending a spacecraft or astronaut to the red planet to haul back rocks, Martian meteorites are the next best thing for scientists seeking to better understand how Earth's neighbor transformed from a tropical environment to a frigid desert.

UFO? Strange lights in Cardwell, Australia


Cardwell is on full UFO alert following sightings of strange lights in the night sky above the sleepy seaside village.

Local businessman Greg Smith said he and his son watched the lights for 15 minutes and are convinced that what they saw was some sort of UFO.

''This was a couple of months ago. I used to be the world's biggest sceptic about this stuff, but I'll tell you what, this really rattled me and my son,'' he said.

Mr Smith said they watched the lights from the front of the Lyndoch Motel on the highway towards the northern end of the town.

''There were two large orange lights. There was no beam and no noise. It was absolutely silent and they were moving slowly across the sky towards the north-west. We couldn't tell if the lights were from one or two machines. At first we thought they were over buildings between the highway and the beach, but other people said they were just out over the water,'' he said.

Mr Smith said he thought it must have been one or two helicopters, but discounted the possibility due to the fact there was no noise.

Orange orbs cause UFO buzz

Pretoria - Reports of orange unidentified flying objects (UFOs) seen over parts of Centurion on Monday night have been flooding into the Pretoria News.

While celebrating the start of the new year and looking to the night sky, some city residents did not see fireworks but a display of another kind.

Centurion resident Louise Schoeman said she saw the first orange orbs at about 8pm, followed by dozens more through the course of the evening.

"The lights appeared in formations of two or three at a time. They glowed orange but did not twinkle or flash," she said.

"They appeared to be moving quite quickly, from the north, east and west, and would travel for a few minutes and then disappear. They were not conventional aircraft, they moved in a linear fashion and were definitely not fireworks.

"We watched one that stopped in mid-air, turned white and appeared to stay in the same spot for approximately an hour. It did not twinkle like a star. The object was gone when we looked again at 1am."

Another city resident asked: "Did the Mayans perhaps get the date wrong?"
