The six pictures show what looks like a brown rib cage and spinal column, slightly bent, sticking out of a crust of ice.

But researchers throughout Canada, Greenland and Norway are unable to determine the origin of the skeleton, said Garry Stenson, a marine mammal scientist with the federal Fisheries Department.

Dead or Alive? Million pound reward offered for Loch Ness monster

A British bookmaker offered a one million pound ($2 million) reward on Monday to anyone who can prove that Scotland's legendary Loch Ness monster does actually exist.

Bookmakers William Hill are supplying up to 50,000 instant cameras to fans attending a Loch Ness pop festival next weekend.

The winner will have to offer proof that satisfies experts at London's Natural History Museum.

The glowing orbs appeared at around 10pm on Saturday rising slowly into the clouds before eventually vanishing.

Tony Barber, of Farnham Lane, in Langton Green saw the spectacle after his neighbour alerted him. He said: "They were rising into the sky for about 20 minutes then they disappeared. We went outside and watched and tried to guess what they were. We couldn't really come up with anything except they were huge hot air balloons."

Ireland Flooded by UFO Claims

Ireland is in the grip of a space invasion, according to UFO Society of Ireland president Betty Meyler.

She says reports of unidentified flying objects are flooding in.

One man, Mark, reported seeing a silver saucer over Lough Key near Carrick-on-Shannon.

He said: "The craft was reflective silver like stainless steel, with no lights or windows."

"Martin D" emailed Betty to tell her he spotted a UFO over his HOUSE.

Video: UFOs over Santiago, Chile


Comment: The amateur video is part of an impressive series that can be found here. The images appear to have been taken on December 7th, 2003, as displayed on the screen in one of the videos. As it surfaced on the Internet only 3 and a half years later we wonder how many more pieces of evidence are held by private people which remain unreported.

Chile: Chupacabras attack in Vina del Mar

Margarita Ugalde's family underwent an experience worthy of a horror movie in the early hours of Thursday morning in the Recreo sector of Vina del Mar after having a face-to-face encounter with the legendary and feared Chupacabras.

According to the woman's story, the event took place at around 4 in the morning when all were asleep and the powerful noise made by the strange animal shook them out of their slumber.

"An animal walked over the roof - it was as though it had come in flying and suddenly landed there. It sounded strong and dragged its wings, walking quickly and making a thundering noise, as though it were very heavy. It's just like the last time. The same happened years ago - we heard the same noises on the roof," explained Margarita Ugalde.

'Eerie' UFO spotted in British Columbia, Canada skies

Lisa McCubbin isn't sure what she saw when she looked into the eastern sky early Monday morning but she doesn't think it was a small plane, hang glider or kite.

At about 12:30 a.m. she could hear some people on the street outside her apartment shouting and when she looked out her window she saw what the three young people were reacting to: It appeared to be a light grey or translucent triangle with sharp edges that approached the city in a straight path, did a loop and left.

"It circled, then it went straight again," she says.

The whole incident lasted about 20 seconds by McCubbin's estimation.

"It was completely silent - really, really eerie," she said.

Question

Yowie! - mysterious creature sighted in Australia

A mysterious creature allegedly sighted scampering into the bush outside Batemans Bay has all the hallmarks of the legendary Yowie, according to cryptozoology experts.

Around 11pm last Saturday a Batemans Bay resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, saw what she described as a two-legged non-human creature in her headlights.

She said it was more than six feet tall, covered in a dark brownish fur and appeared and moved like no other animal she had ever seen.

After hearing the report, cryptozoologist Paul Cropper said it was consistent with many he had heard from around the country.

Mr Cropper said Batemans Bay was one of the country's hot spots for sightings of the mysterious ape-like creature.

Comment: The video is taken from a Peruvian network in Spanish; no translation is available. However, the comments do not add much to what is already obvious from the footage. A witness describes the objects as "flying saucers", while the reporter only speaks of "white spots forming shapes in the sky" that were seen for 30 minutes over the city. A commander of the Peruvian Air Force compared the sighting with others previously recorded over Mexico. Though he cautioned against calling them "extraterrestrial", he was also unable to provide any conventional explanation.
