Strange Phenomena: Attack of the Near-Earth Objects

In the wake of the the horrific Hatian Earthquake that occurred yesterday, news sources have been alerting people around the world to the extremities of the disaster at hand. Please take time today to send thoughts and prayers to those who have been devastated by this terrible act of nature, and consider helping with relief efforts in some capacity, for which coordination will begin in the days to come.

In the meantime, while damage repair takes place here on Terra Firma, Space.com reported on a series of two "strange near-Earth objects" that drifted close to home in the wee hours Wednesday morning. Due to several strange elements pertaining to the object's path (at present, it is believed to be an asteroid), there was nonetheless speculation that it may have been "artificial," likely a satellite or portion of some other man-made craft sent into orbit in the past.

Those of you who own amateur skywatching equipment haven't missed your opportunity yet, however. 2010 AL30, as the object has been called, "is not the only space rock passing relatively close by Earth this week," the website confirms. "Another recently discovered object, known as 2010 AG30, will zip by the planet on Thursday. But that asteroid is about 43 feet (13 meters) wide, and will pass by at a comfortable distance of about 650,000 miles (1 million km) from Earth, NASA scientists said."

England: Many unexplained happenings going on at the Cannock pub

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:38 UTC
The owners of a pub plagued by ghostly goings-on are set to call in investigators in a bid to discover why the venue is a hotspot for paranormal activity.

Paul Donnor, owner of the Park Gate Inn, Cannock Wood, is considering calling in the ghostbusters after a spate of unexplained occurrences.

Ghostly figures, floating orbs and inexplicable temperature changes have been reported by staff and visitors to the pub - parts of which date back to the 1600s.

Paul said: "I've experienced many things at the pub which cannot be explained.

"It is notoriously paranormal and renowned around here for being haunted. We are considering holding a paranormal evening later in the year with investigators to see what we can find out."

Paul believes the unexplained goings-on could be linked to the death of a former landlady in 1969.

But locals believe the pub's proximity to iron age hill fort Castle Ring could be the real reason for the spate of paranormal activity.

Posted: January 13, 2010

Date of Sighting: January 9, 2010
Time of Sighting: 2:30 PM EST
Location of Sighting: Laurel, Delaware (See Map)

Description: Around 2:30 in the afternoon as I was driving I looked up in the sky (looking south) and I saw the brightest light I have ever seen during the day. The light was about as bright as the sun, but small almost the size of a box truck. It was in the distance a few miles away and about 60 degrees up in the air the color was like an orange white. It didn't move and it just faded out fast in about 2 to 3 seconds. A few days before I saw this one of my friends had told me they had seen the same object when they were leaving their house. I really had thought nothing of it thinking it may have been a plane until I saw this this was no plane. I still don't know what to think of it. It could of been something from the Air Force Base up north (DOVER), but I have no idea.

Location of Sighting: Edgware, Middlesex
Date of Sighting: 28/12/2009
Time: 12:02 Midday

Witness Report: On 28 Dec midday I went out into our garden to have a cigarette, as normal I scan the skies whilst having a smoke. I noticed a shiny glint in the sky and ran for my binoculars I keep in the kitchen, for such occasion. The object seemed a long way off and appeared to be at least as high as the planes if not higher. I called for my wife to come and look who was a little surprised by what she saw but said it must be a plane. As we took turns to look at it through the binoculars, it appeared that a powerful light beam was now on and pointing our general direction (just like a torch at night being shone in your direction only this was daytime).

England: Cannock residents claim UFO's were not Chinese lanterns


Sunday Mercury
Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:30 UTC
Chase residents have dismissed suggestions that a raft of sightings of mysterious lights on New Year's Eve were just common Chinese lanterns, released during a Hednesford party.

Dozens of eyewitnesses have told of their encounters with the batch of strange lights above the town on New Year's Eve.

But this week the owners of Hednesford's Globe pub came forward to reveal a more terrestrial explanation for the lights - Chinese lanterns from their festivities.

"After laughing so much, I cried," Globe landlady Paula Bird said.

"I thought it only fair to put people's mind at rest that we are not being watched by little green Martians.

Question

Earthquakes and the Unknown

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:30 UTC
During an exchange of internet communications in the hours shortly following the massive 7.0 earthquake that devastated the Haitian capital city, Port-au-Prince, which left death and destruction in its wake, mention was made of the "far out" theories that have emerged in the 2000s to account for such disasters: scalar weaponry, alien craft concealed as passing asteroids, HAARP and other culprits that have gone on to become the "usual suspects" on paranormal radio and Web discussions. Let there be no mistake - the Haitian disaster is not a matter for idle speculation as people lay dying or desperately waiting for help that may not arrive. But for the record, there was a time when strange lights would be reported in connection with earthquakes, leading many to assume that they were triggered by unearthly forces or monitored by benign creatures from beyond.

It then got brighter more intense in colour then rapidly accelerating from stopped too scary fast then stopped again near Glasgow Airport where it stopped got dimmer in colour then it traveled at a steady pace vertically then speeding off again out of sight out of our atmosphere.
