© UnknownA hoax, a large dog, or the beast of Hackney Marshes?
A strange creature has been captured on camera on Hackney Marshes - 30 years after the unexplained sighting of another mystery beast sparked a full-scale search for a suspected bear on the loose.

Terrified university student Helen Murray said she took the snaps while out for a stroll near dense woodland close to a path near the Old River Lea on bank holiday Monday earlier this month.

She said she was stopped in her tracks by the unknown animal, which was larger than a person and covered in shaggy black fur.

The federal government is investigating the appearance of a mystery object spotted by a pilot in the skies over Denver Monday.

Updated at 3:30 p.m. ET: The Federal Aviation Administration emailed USA TODAY with the following statement regarding the object: " The FAA is investigating the incident and will try to positively identify the object the Citation pilot reported, where it came from and who was operating it."

Original post: A mystery object that flew over Denver Monday evening is raising questions and prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to investigate, 9 News out of Denver reports.

The mystery object turned up when a Cessna corporate jet was flying at 8,000 feet above sea level, the news organization reports. At that point, recordings indicate, the pilot radioed to air-traffic control in a shaky voice: "A remote-controlled aircraft, or what? Something just went by the other way ... about 20 to 30 seconds ago. It was like a large remote-controlled aircraft."

Important New Revelations about the Paul Bennewitz Affair

UFOs over military base
Declassified U.S. government documents and military veterans have confirmed repeated UFO incursions at American nuclear weapons sites, decade after decade. (Declassified Soviet documents and former Soviet Army personnel verify that such incidents occurred in the former U.S.S.R. as well.)

During my September 27, 2010 "UFOs and Nukes" press conference in Washington D.C., retired U.S. Air Force (USAF) Col. Charles Halt discussed one such incident at the RAF Bentwaters airbase in England, on December 28, 1980, when a UFO was observed directing down laser-like beams of light onto various locations on the base. Radio chatter between USAF Security Policemen indicated that some of those fell within the boundaries of the USAF's Weapons Storage Area (WSA) where tactical nuclear bombs were kept in hardened bunkers.

CNN streamed the important press conference live and the full-length video may be viewed here:

[Stories of saucer crashes and retrievals are not the exclusive province of the American Southwest. The Pacific coast of South America has some interesting cases to offer, as we can see from Raul Núñez's "UFO Crash/Retrivals in Chile. Mr. Núñez is the director of his country's branch of the Instituto de Investigaciones Espaciales (IEEE) and a frequent contributor to Inexplicata. This article appeared in Issue #9 of the Inexplicata journal -- SC]

On October 7, 1998 at 15:45 hours, residents of Paihuano, a small village in Valle de Elquí (Chile) underwent an extraordinary experience which keep its 2,500 residents on the edge of their seats. A flying object described as having a metallic color and measuring some 15 meters across remained motionless over the Las Mollacas hill, from which the entire town could be seen.

The object began to rise and abruptly made a sudden turn that split it in two before the awestruck witnesses. One part of the object fell on hill's peak and the other behind it. Accounts collected on the field by this correspondent among the many persons who wintessed the uncanny event lead us to consider the following events: a) the object witnessed was metallic (silvery); b) the sun's rays reflected off its structure, aiding its visibility; c) Its shape was elongated; d) it remained on the summit of the hill throughout the afternoon of Wednesday the 7th, Thursday the 8th and Friday the 9th, when it was removed by personnel in uniform; e) all of the townsfolk, including mayor Lorenzo Torres, witnessed the event; f) earthquakes were registered after the object fell to the ground; g) electric blackouts covered the entire region; h) radio and TV broadcasts throughout Paihuano, Pisco Elquí and Monte Grande (two neighboring towns) were disrupted.

[This article by our friend and colleague Pablo Villarubia appeared in Inexplicata #12 (Summer 2003). It describes one of the most shocking UFO incidents of the year 1977 - the so-called "Tonna Case", named after its protagonist, rancher Angel María Tonna - SC]

I left Montevideo behind and was heading toward the city of Salto on the Argentinean border, riding a dilapidated bus in order to rescue from oblivion the events which occurred one distant February 17, 1977. The central protagonist of the story was the owner of the La Aurora ranch, a man named Angel María Tronna. The victims included one dog, several sheep, a bull and one horse -- gravely affected by an object come from afar.

The first thing I did upon arriving was making a straight line toward the office of the El Pueblo newspaper to consult old newspapers which would put me on the track of the "Tonna Case". The Saturday the 19th edition was already legendary, since it presented the first news item on the macabre event.

Strange New UFO Found on Google Sky

An intrepid UFO hunter, with his eyes peeled on Google Sky, has spotted a strange, gigantic, disc-shaped object which defies conventional explanation. What is it?

The object, spotted by YouTuber planetkrejci, is circular and a mottled greenish-hue. Looking more like something out of a Hollywood movie than any known spacecraft, this and other anomalies found on the popular software app have yet to be explained convincingly.

Can it be just a glitch? Why are these objects so strangely shaped and colored? Is someone hoaxing Google? Is that technically possible?

No matter the explanation, it's one of the most interesting mysteries to hit the paranormal community in a while. Is it possible that these are real spacecraft built by another civilization?

If so, it would be the greatest story of all time. Hopefully, some imaging experts will start investigating these UFO sightings and come up with a theory that makes sense.

Mysterious: A Russian TV news report on the crash shows lights flying in formation
A Russian news report on the crash posted on YouTube incorporates footage of three mysterious lights moving in formation, leading to speculation in the UFO community that blame for the tragic accident may lie with an extra-terrestrial craft.

There are rumours that the pilot may have been buzzed by the object and complained to the control tower at Islamabad airport as he made his approach, according to Gather News.

The official line, however, is that the passenger jet's fuel tanks exploded mid-air during a heavy thunderstorm, killing all 127 people on board.

In a mayday call made moments before the disaster, the pilot of the stricken jet reported a fuel tank had caught fire and that the plane was out of control.

Strange Circumstances Surround Park Disappearances

Las Vegas, Nevada, US - The summer travel season is nearly here which means millions of people will be heading for national parks and national forests. As it turns out, a few of them won't be coming back.

Each year, hundreds of people are reported missing in national parks and forests. Most are eventually found, but there's a smaller category of cases that are never solved, including a few close to home.

It is not a revelation to report that people get lost in wilderness areas or forests. The I-Team is investigating a different kind of mystery that involves disappearances which are not caused by predator attacks, criminals, or bad luck.

A former cop has put together hundreds of case files regarding clusters of missing persons in national parks where the circumstances are strange.

"I was staying in a hotel off park service land and there was a knock at the door," said David Paulides.

It was a long shape made up of orange or red lights, moving in all directions across the sky, hovering and moving up and down.

"First came a really loud noise, which I first put down to an aeroplane passing," insists former teaching assistant Lin Campbell, 55, who lives in Sabinillas.

"But it just did not seem to move away.

"The noise kept coming and going but without any fading in and out. There were no other lights or craft in the sky although towards the end we could hear a helicopter.

"The craft eventually moved off to the Estepona area and I went back to bed, but a few minutes later I heard the noise again and rushed out to see the lights again off in the distance over Estepona."

UFO narrowly missing jet
© Unknown
A video on YouTube claims to have captured a UFO nearly crashing into a jet landing at an unidentified airport. Can it be real?

The video shows the scene outside a jet window as it bumpily approaches a fog enshrouded airport for a landing. Voices on the tape include nervous passengers and a crying baby.

As the jet gets closer to the tarmac, it is suddenly buffeted violently, causing excited responses from adult passengers and screams from a frightened child. That part of the incident seems real enough.

Comment: It seems pretty clear that another plane had a near miss with this one, not a 'UFO'.
