Argentina: The 1968 UFO fly-by over José Marmol

It was over fifty years ago that UFOs were seen in the airspace over the district of Alte. Brown.

The UFO phenomenon exists in our region and is well-documented. We ascertained that many of our fellow resideents had sightings. They do not speak of them, as these are matters considered private and the source of much derision. Silence is therefore the rule.

An event occurred in Almirante Brown well over forty years ago and it involved the presence of a UFO fleet seen by the townspeople of José Mármol one summer night in 1968. According to reports, a group noticed the presence of white spots in the sky, appearing among the clouds and moving swiftly, but still retaining a boomerang-like formation. Townspeople took to the streets pointing at the sky, feeling a collective shiver at being in the presence of the unknown.

Concepción Vitulano, now elderly, says the following: "I couldn't believe it. My children jumped for joy, shouting: 'The Martians are coming!' but I had my misgivings. It was the only time I ever saw something like it."

Nowadays, the locals do not discuss the subject much, and the few whor remain recall it as something very strange that happened one summer night, and which they will never forget.

Mass sightings are neither common nor frequent. This incident in José Mármol was among few in the locality, and even the entire region.

What's that? Mystery figure filmed 'stalking paranormal researchers' near Stonehenge

AN EERIE figure was snapped seemingly watching a team that were investigating a crop circle. The tall, thin shape was said to be caught on camera by the group investigating a newly-formed crop circle near Avebury, in Wiltshire, which is near the historic Stonehenge monument.

Crop circles, allegedly made by landing UFOs according to believers, are widely considered a huge hoax. However, many people still believe they are a paranormal occurrence caused by aliens or other mysterious forces.

These include Pierre Beake, who travels from his native France to investigate each summer. He said: "We were at a crop circle near Avebury and there was what we thought was a person standing away in the field. The figure was still and did not move for 20 minutes."

He said the figure was recorded on video camera for the whole time, but the camera then panned to another part of the field, and when it returned the figure was gone.

He added: "The field was so big they could not have run away in time without still being seen in the field.

"Maybe they lay down in a tramline, but it would be strange. It is a strange case, and it was like it was watching the people inside the crop circle. I am not saying it was a ghost, but I think it was linked to the paranormal activity in Wiltshire."


Mr Beake has produced pictures showing the figure in shot and also of the same scene with it gone.

Costa Rica: UFO recorded by pilot

Impressive! A video recorded in Costa Rica has gone viral on YouTube. What is the reason for this? It turns out that an airline pilot captured the very moment at which the UFO flew in the distance.

The pilot, whose name is Jose Daniel Araya, wanted to record the sunset over Costa Rica on his cellphone without thinking he would capture a UFO. The images have gone around the world and have been seen millions of times on Youtube.

At first, the pilot did not clearly see the UFO and wanted to be certain. Upon going home to inspect the recorded images, he was startled to find the UFO was clearly visible.

Faced with this mystery, the pilot visited astronomer José Alberto Villalobos and UFO expert Alexis Astúa, who said it was in fact an 'extraterrestrial spacecraft'. As of this moment the video has over a millon views on YouTube and is a viral phenomenon.

Large number of bizarre "airship incidents" occur in 1907, Tennessee

Theo Paijmans, an infrequent visitor and critic to this blog - one of my favorite human beings - has contributed much to the UFO literature and I found several inserts inside Albert S. Rosales' Humanoid Encounters: The Others Amongst Us 1900-1929, one in his series of Humanoid Encounters books, which I encourage you to buy and read (Amazon).

Starting on page 60 Theo recounts four airship (balloon) sightings from 1907 cited as The Tennessee Aeronaut Flap of 1907 derived from area newspapers

The accounts, all from different dates in April of 1907, tell of witnesses, in several communities, observing craft that looked like airship balloons with gondolas from which debarked parties of "queer-looking persons [women and men] in strange garb" that gathered around local springs (and in one instance, a well) to seemingly pray.

The rise and fall of the Gargouille: A lethal water-spurting dragon from the Seine

Gargouille dragaon
Flooding the land with limitless liquid, France's water-spouting gargouille was just as deadly as its more familiar fire-breathing brethren.
When preparing my first book on dragons, Dragons: A Natural History, published in 1995, and in which I retell the myths and legends surrounding a wide variety of different dragons, I was particularly anxious to uncover the history of the example featured here in this present ShukerNature blog article. For despite having read many books and articles on dragons down through the years, I had never once seen a detailed account of this specific one.

Thanks, however, to some painstaking but rewarding library-based research (i.e. long before the internet had transformed into the limitless online fund of facts that it is today), I finally pieced together its thrilling story, first recorded in 1394, which I duly recounted in my book. Due to space considerations, unfortunately, my coverage needed to be abridged slightly for publication, but now, for the first time anywhere, I have great pleasure in presenting the original, unabridged version. So here is my full retelling of the rise and fall of one of dracontology's most memorable subjects - the very formidable water-spouting gargouille of France.

Spain: Man spies gargoyle-like creature flying through the air

28-year-old IT technician Alex Nasirc told Cryptozoology News he was in Santa Maria Del Aguila, Almeria when he witnessed the purported being.

"I was in south Spain for nearly one year. I was always a nature enthusiast, so I traveled a lot," he explained. "Because of the really hot weather in those regions, people often leave their windows at night open for better air circulation," he added.

Nasirc says he was sleeping when he woke up to a sound he wasn't able to immediately identify.

"It was around 1 a.m., I though it was someone in trouble. My instincts told me there is a woman who is having terrible trouble and she might be in a lot of pain. At some point I was annoyed that I had to witness it. I knew it wasn't an owl."

Reportedly, Nasirc went to the window to investigate when the noise got louder and clearer.

Surveillance camera reveals 'ghostly mist' surrounding famous Texas haunted hotel

Magnolia Hotel Sequin Texas
In 2013 construction began to restore the hotel to its original 1880's heyday. During restoration the building exploded with paranormal activity causing the loss of contractors and bringing the restoration to a halt. The owners refused to allow the spirits to stop their progress and have grown to co-exist with the numerous spirits that still reside within the building's walls.
Texas is not lacking in haunted places and hotels, with the nefarious activities that occur among the living, seem to have almost as many ghostly residents with interesting, albeit sometimes horrific, stories to tell. One such inn is the Magnolia Hotel in Seguin, one of the state's oldest towns situated on the Guadalupe River in San Antonio County. Its story has been featured on many paranormal TV shows and it popped up in the news this week when a surveillance video showed what some described as a ghostly mist.

Witness captures video of strange object in the sky

A witness in Poços de Caldas, Brazil captured a video of a strange looking object he cannot identify. The witness reported the object to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) along with still images and video.

The sighting took place on August 6, 2017. The witness claims to have noticed two bright star-like objects moving across the sky, even though it was during the day and still light out.

Here is the witness report, verbatim:
It was still day, and I saw two bright and strong lights, looking like stars. But no other star appeared, and it was too soon for them to appear. They moved together in a constant trajectory, not fast, not slow... and in the same direction (SE to NE), and really far away. Constant brightness all the time. One of them was bigger and brighter, and other smaller, but still bright. This small one disappeared suddenly, but the bigger kept on moving. They passed over right above me. Strange because it was to UFOs, very bright all the time... (sun reflection not the case).

I took a picture of a plane passing by, with maximum close up from my camera. The same close with I took the pictures. I changed ISO, so some pictures were darkened. And at the end of the mp4, there is the video.

Mysterious people who drove off the face of the Earth never to be seen again

There are plenty of cases of vanished people who have seemingly stepped off the face of the earth to leave abandoned vehicles behind. However, even more curious is those cases where the disappeared have gone off to take a drive and completely vanished along with their vehicles, never to be seen or heard from again. It is one thing to have a person disappear, but for them to just melt away from the world along with their vehicles and never have a trace found is truly odd indeed. Here are some of the myriad, bizarre cases of people who got into their cars to go driving, and keep going seemingly right off the face of the planet.
