The World for People who Think
High StrangenessS
Something strange was spotted in the sky over Dos Palos, and it was captured on camera.
The unidentified flying object was spotted by several flying in the valley about a month ago, around July 2012.
Cruz Nava says, "I saw it in the sky and we were trying to figure out what it was. All I know is that it looked strange."
Although Dos Palos residents don't have a clue what it was, and neither do scientists at the National Weather Service out of Hanford.
They said they haven't seen a weather balloon that looks like that ever.
Comment: There is hardly any description for this video. You can see three lights arranged in a triangular pattern. The lights seem to rotate a bit and at the end of the video, they fade away.
I was on my back porch sitting after working all day on it seeing what I needed for tomorrow. Suddenly, this light caught the corner of my eye.
At first I thought it was a shooting star until I saw it stop and hover for about a minute, then shoot in the other direction.
Then it stopped again, then I saw another one and they were chasing each other.
I ran to get my mom and wife which I live with and grabbed my camera, but the battery was dead.
So I put it on the charger 45 minutes, and later it was still there so I got one good picture taken.

There is a very good reason for this, running parallel to New Zealand's coastline is the Hikurangi Trench. A deep gouge on the ocean floor, that descends in places to depths of 3,750 metres (12,300 ft).[ (Lewis, Collott, & Lallemand, 1998, pp. 441-468.)
New Zealands unique oceanography
These deep troughs bring a wealth of nutrient rich organisms to the surface allowing for a mass of biodiversity to flourish in the nutrient rich upper waters.
Krill are profuse here along with smaller fish species which create a nutrient rich environment for larger predatory animals such as Giant Squid, which in turn are preyed upon by Sperm Whales. So there is no deficit of vast food supplies for large predatory animals cruising the depths of New Zealand's coastline.
Where the Hikurangi Trench joins up with the Tonga Trench, the area is heavily spotted with areas of geothermal activity which provide warm waters as well as a warm current which flows from the equatorial region.
This area of the Tonga Trench has a rich diversity of marine life previously undiscovered until recent expeditions. This is a very harsh environment where reshaping of the seafloor is happening continually, to quote from the results of a joint project between the Universities of Durham and Oxford, and funded by the National Research Centre.
Perhaps the ancients had a better grasp of the situation. In polytheistic societies filled with deities and tutelary spirits, it was perhaps easier to find a place in the order of things for beings that deviated from the norm - hence the satyrs, dryads and nymphs and tritons of Greece and Rome. Yet even this freer order could be confronted by prodigies ("monstra", from which the word "monster" originates) that challenged the wise. Some two thousand years ago, the Roman historian Pausanias had the opportunity to witness an unusual sight: the carcass of what was described as "a Triton" --one of the sea-god Neptune's helpers--allegedly slain after having come ashore to kill the cattle of the inhabitants of the Greek city of Tanagra. Pausanias reported the creature had "hard, dense scales and stank." Was the learned Pausanias describing a crocodile carcass, perhaps, or something that would even defy explanation today?
This UFO, or whatever it is, flew this morning at about 10 am (August 18, 2012) over the mountain "Achalm" in Reutlingen, Germany. Extremely strange!
The short clip included here, taken from a six-hour video of the spacewalk conducted by astronauts aboard the International Space Station on Monday, shows cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko as he performs, appropriately enough, the task of affixing debris barriers on the ISS, designed for greater safety against floating, lethal objects.
As he converses with ground control, a spinning, flashing, unidentified flying object whizzes past at incredible speed. It's kind of unnerving because scientists are very good at pointing the ISS into areas of space safer from that kind of hazard.
It's not known exactly what this UFO is, but it's a sure bet that if it had crashed into the space station, or worse, hit the astronaut, it would have been a monumental disaster.
Some are saying there are unexplained lights around the Jackson area.
So far people can't point to something like a weather balloon or falling star or even a plane to explain it.
Now they wonder could it be related to incredible tales from Cape Girardeau dating back decades.
Some say a bar of red and white lights was hovering recently above homes in Jackson. People tell us they were mesmerized by beams and light shooting from either end.
Chris Clifton and others say the lighted craft showed up for at least five minutes twice over the last week around the Bent Creek area of Jackson.
Recent sightings prompted Clifton and others to do some research and they learned our area is no stranger to the unexplained. Now they wonder if all these close encounters of the Heartland kind could be the product of something out of this world.
Comment: There is no description with this video. Almost half-way through the video a red light appears and, then, after the red light "turns off" there is a strange object where the light was.

Hjörtur's video of an object or creature that appeared to wriggle like a worm in the river Jökulsá í Fljótsdal which runs into the lake Lagarfljót, the monster's alleged habitat, garnered significant attention, resulting in foreign television crews coming to Iceland to try and catch the monster on camera, ruv.is reports.
This summer, Hjörtur has made claim to ISK 500,000 (USD 4,200, EUR 3,400), a prize in a competition the local municipality launched 15 years ago on photos of Lagarfljótsormurinn. The prize was never paid out because none of the photos entered were thought to show the monster.
However, the district council at the time promised that if the monster would ever be caught on camera, the photographer would be entitled to the prize.
