MIB Incident...More Bizarre Than Most

I found the following account in an old UFO database:

This is such a bizarre incident I'm about to describe to you. I can’t be certain but this most likely occurred in the summer of 1992 which would have been the summer before my senior year in high school. I was hanging out in the driveway at my best friend’s house on N. Greenfield Ave. in Waukesha, WI. It was about 4 PM. I had parked my 1980 Chevy Malibu on the curb in front of his house.

As my best friend and I were standing in the driveway, a brand new black Lincoln Town Car with tinted windows pulled up behind my car, blocking the driveway. As soon as it stopped three men, including the driver, got out of the car. They walked up to the sidewalk and faced us. They were all wearing black suits and dark tinted sunglasses; all of them normal build and physically fit.

The strangest part about the incident was that the one man immediately addressed me, as if he knew the Malibu was my car. "I will give you $2000 cash for your car." He was as far as I can remember totally expressionless, as were the others. As I understood, he would hand me cash and drive the car away immediately. It didn't seem like a transfer of the title was an issue. Still kind of confused by the offer, the only thing that I managed to say was, "it’s not mine to sell, my dad owns it," which was true. That was it. They made no more attempts to make a deal. They turned around without a word, got into their car and drove away. They didn’t stop at any other houses as far as we could see.

At the time I knew nothing of Men in Black incidents nor did my friend. We both stood there confounded and after talking about what had happened, we came to the conclusion that two grand would have been a great deal for me, but not worth the possible hassle that may have followed. Strangely enough my dad sold the car a few weeks later. I think he got less than $500 for it.

My friend can back up my claim. I haven’t seen him for almost five years, but it was such an odd event we reminisced on it a few times after it happened. I always wondered if other so-called Men in Black had ever approached people and offered to buy their cars or any other property. MM

Daily 2 Cents: Tall Wisconsin Humanoid -- Blue-Eyed Albino Deer in Michigan -- 'Zombie-Like' Raccoons in Ohio

Tall Wisconsin Humanoid

Superior WI - 5/21/2012: My Cousin and I had just finished eating dinner and playing a round of Golf. We were driving on a two lane road that leads back into the east side of our city. As we turned right at a corner that leads back into the main road, we drove another 100 feet until on the right side of the road I saw a 8-9 foot figure that was walking back into the edge of the forest located under a street light. I immediately hit the brakes, unsure of what I saw, my cousin who was in the passenger seat looked as shocked as I was. I yelled “I think that was an alien” The car came to a stop and my cousin yelled “Go Go Go!” I sped up and my eyes were tearing up as I couldn’t believe what I had just seen, my cousin said “I thought I was seeing things!” I replied with “No I saw it too!” we drove to our apartment which is near by still shocked and startled I immediately called some friends they came and picked me up and drove us back to the spot where I saw the figure. I explained what happened to them, and when we drove back to the location some brush had looked to be parted where something had walked through it. I made the call to the hotline next where a gentleman told me to make this report and call local authorities which are being called now.

The figure stood 8-9 feet tall, had a tall rounded crown shape head, the head was as big as a human abdomen, the figure was somewhat muscular looking, it had big eyes, but not stereotypical alien-like, long legs and it did not seemed started whatsoever. NUFORC...Case was reported to the Superior Police Department

Blue-Eyed Albino Deer in Michigan

A rare white deer has been attracting admirers almost since it was born last year, according to nature buffs and officials at Kensington Metropark near Milford.

“We started seeing her in spring ’17 — I’ve seen her quite a few times,” said Dave Kirbach, deputy director of the Metropark system — officially, the Huron-Clinton Metropark Authority.

“We’re pretty sure she’s a doe. She’s a little small, but this is her first year, and she got through the winter just fine,” Kirbach said Monday.

He said the unusual deer, whose coat is sheer white and which has a pink nose and blue-ish eyes, is one more reason that nature lovers enjoy coming to Kensington Metropark — about 30 miles west of Detroit. Read more w/ video at Rare white deer roams Kensington Metropark near Milford

Reports of 'Zombie-Like' Raccoons in Ohio

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) - Youngstown police were busy this weekend fighting crime — and raccoons. Several scared homeowners called, saying the animals were in their yards, acting strangely. Police said it didn’t seem like rabies was the cause.

In the past couple of weeks, Youngstown police have responded to over a dozen of these raccoon calls — all of them with reports of the same strange, zombie-like behavior. The majority of the calls happened in the daytime, too, even though raccoons are nocturnal.

“I looked over there and got distracted because I saw a raccoon coming our way,” said Robert Coggeshall, whose playtime with his dogs was interrupted by a fiesty and sick raccoon last week.

He put the dogs back in the house, but said the raccoon followed them to the door. Read more at Reports of "zombie-like" raccoons puzzle Youngstown police

UFO Eyewitnesses Come Forward

Thomas in Santa Monica, California called in to tell of his sighting:

“So basically I had a UFO... I guess, sighting, or encounter, if you want to call it that. It was about in 2008, like July 26. I was... I went... okay, the night previous, I went skateboarding at the beach with my friends and they would stare up in the sky and they were into the UFO thing, sightings and stuff like that. And at that time, I was, I thought it was possible, you know, anything's possible, but I wasn't really into it, so I just kind of like ignored it and started skating or whatever. So then, the next night, I was on the phone outside of my building, talking to my friend and all of a sudden, while talking to my friend, I had this instinct while looking at the sky, I had this instinct to look into a certain direction and so I looked into the direction where I felt to look in and all of a sudden... I didn't know, it was a blue sky, like perfect night and then, out of nowhere, a spaceship appeared literally from nothing, like out of the sky, like it just popped into existence, and it was a saucer craft with multiple lights, different colored lights around it, and it was probably about a little higher than tree length and it just freaked me out, kind of because, before that, I forgot to mention, as well, before this ship appeared, I was talking to my friend on the phone, I had this, what's it called, like the experience of remembering the previous night skateboarding with my friends and then how they were talking about spaceships and stuff like that? It's like the word spaceship popped into my head before the sighting. So this spaceship word popped in my head I felt this inclination to look into the sky in this direction and this spaceship literally appeared from nothing and I was just, I literally felt like if I was in Star Trek or something like that. I was like, holy crap, you know. It was over Santa Monica like by my apartment building where I saw this ship. The previous night I was skateboarding at the beach with my friends. Yeah, it was so crazy so then after that it kind of propelled me as far as information wise to look into what the hell is going on so."

Michael in Kansas called in to tell of his UFO sighting:

“I wanted to talk about the first experience I had with a UFO. I was six years old. I was at my Granny's house right and she would babysit me at night. My mom was a nurse, you know, working late. This would have been 1997. I think I'm 26 now. This is actually in southern Oklahoma...Waurika, Oklahoma. It was so strange like we were just drawn... I don't know if we were going to the back porch to wait for my mom to pick me up but we were drawn out there. As soon as we got on the back porch this UFO which I think it was the UFO, of course, it was a saucer shape and it just like zoomed right up to the backyard. I mean this thing was like at the treetops, like, I probably could have thrown a rock and hit it that's how close it was. And we're just standing there in awe and I seen multicolored lights all around it but there was no bulbs or nothing, it was all just smooth like the light was coming from within it. Then the thing just took off, man, like it was, I don't know how long we were standing there. It seemed like forever but as fast as it came in. It left just as fast, like, in the blink of an eye and I... we couldn't see it move. It just zipped off. None of my family believed me and my grandmother. They all thought we were making stuff up and they'd never believed us but we was talking about it years later when I was older and she was telling me what she remembered about it and I told her what I remembered about it. She said it was just so loud to her and I was just like, What? Because all I remembered was the lights. I don't remember sound. There was no sound, but the weird thing is, she didn't remember none of the lights, like it was interacting differently with the two of us.”

Jody in Houston, Texas called in to tell of her UFO sighting:

“I actually have always wanted to see a UFO as a kid and then me and my friend saw one on October 12, 2012 and I couldn't believe that nobody else was seeing it. It was on a major road in Houston, Texas and it was like right when the sun was starting to come up. If you looked up, there's no way you could miss it. It was huge and it just was hovering there and then it went down into a grove of trees which you can't get to. We were driving around, I'm like, Whatever you do, don't you take your eyes off it. I want to see that again for anything in the world to see it again. The sun was coming up. I just dropped my husband off at the airport. He works there. That was like at 4:30 and then we were driving over to Humble so it was about 5 o'clock in the morning. It was hovering there. It had lights underneath. It had five... Well, she saw six lights. She was closer to it. I was on the driver side. Five lights underneath. More red... not like a light. More like a glowing on top. It was huge. It was right above where you can buy, like, sleazy sex toys and stuff. It was hue and glowing. It went down into the grove of trees and we did drive all around but you can't get back to there.”

Jim in Florida called in to tell of his weird UFO experience:

“In early June of 2015 I was lying in bed, I was sleeping in on a Sunday morning. The alarm went off at 11:00 a.m. and I decided to set it for another hour and, within 10 seconds of my head hitting the pillow, I heard a loud voice in my head saying, Go outside! And I thought, Wow, what the heck is that? I got to go outside. I walk out my front door. I look around and from the north are two objects floating in about running, speed chrome-plated objects about the size of minivans, about six feet apart. And they stopped about 200 feet away, treetop level, and I can see the tree is reflected in them, and the sky and the couple of clouds there were out there. And there was waves emanating off of the objects like they were vibrating. like they were giving off heat, like you would see a mirage in the desert. And all of a sudden I start getting all this information in my head: We care about you. We're watching you. There is rebirth, reincarnation, resurrection. Don't worry. Everything is going to be all right. And I thought to get my camera that was just inside the on the kitchen counter, right inside the door, and I turned to open the door I thought, I'm gonna miss something if I don't if I turn away and when I turned back they started floating away the same speed they were coming in and when they got to maybe a mile or so away to the north, they zipped off to the west at like a thousand miles an hour and disappeared. I got the distinct impression that they were going to give other people the same message. But the real kicker was that there were symbols on each one of the craft. One of them I remembered as plain as day. Within seconds of them disappearing, I forgot what the other symbol was and it bugged me for months. I actually contacted some friends of mine to see if they knew somebody who was a hypnotist so I could regain that memory of that other symbol and as ironic as it is being it's weekend - the symbol I remembered was the symbol of a Christmas tree on one of the objects. The one I didn't remember until months later, without going through hypnosis, it just came to me one day, was a cross. I'm not religious. I was raised Catholic. I haven't gone to church in years. I'm not religious, you know, I guess I'm kind of spiritual but I thought, Why would they give me that kind of a message?”

“I started smoking pot in my freshman year of high school, that was three years ago, I would always smoke at night after my parents would go to sleep and I’d do it behind our shed because it blocked the view from the house so if my parents were to look out the window they wouldn’t see me. Well when I was a sophomore, probably in the middle of October, I waited for my parents to fall asleep. When they did, around 10, I went outside and started to fill up a bowl. I was kinda weirded out by how quite everything was. I live in Texas and our nights are rarely ever quite do to all the animals in the area. Usually you’d hear crickets or something. I just brushed this off and continued to smoke up. After about 30 minutes I was already high and as I was about to call it a night, all of a sudden I was bathed in a bright light. Like a blueish whitish light. I didn’t move, I couldn’t, and I wasn’t scared for some reason I was just frozen in place. I can’t remember what happened next all I know is I woke up the next morning in my bed and when I checked the time it was like 10 or 11. My parents were at work and I was late for school. As I got ready to Leave I went outside and found my pipe and my weed. For some reason my lighter was missing. I looked everywhere for it, but I couldn’t find it. I know I didn’t imagine it because at that point I’ve been smoking for two years and I knew my limitations also it was the same weed I had been smoking the day before so I knew it wasn’t laced with anything. I’ve never told anyone about this encounter in fear of humiliation, but I felt comfortable putting it here because that’s what people come here for, paranormal stories...”

Two different ufos and an alien/robot figure

It was August 28, about 2 am. It was the same day there was an eclipse/blue moon. My friends were driving me home.

On my way there I saw lights in the sky occasionally. I then saw a UFO with blue lights in the air next to a house. I told everyone in the car but they just laughed but one of my friends saw something blue but he wasn't really paying attention. I was really frustrated that they didn't believe me. I got dropped off home.

When I went inside I heard a strange noise coming from a block away. I decided to go check it out since I knew I saw a UFO. I walked over to where I was hearing the noise. It was coming from an alley in front of my friends house. I saw a UFO! I got scared so I went inside my friends house without permission. I stayed there watching it from the door. This UFO was a different one from what I saw earlier. This one was white and it was shaped weird. And had different color lights around it and on the bottom it seemed to look like a ! orange and blue light/flame sort of thing. I was so in shock. 1st thing I thought was too get someone here to see it! I called my friend that lived there but they didn't answer. I decided to go closer to get a better view of it.

As I walked to the road all its lights turned off! The only thing you could see was the orange/blue light flame thing coming from the bottom of it. I got kinda scared and started to back away. Then it just stayed there and so I went closer to it again. And this time it started to fade! Like it was disappearing but I could see where it was. ran back to my friends house. I looked and it was there again. I tried calling my other friend but she wouldn't answer. This was now like 2:30 am. I stepped outside my friends house and stayed by his garage. All of a sudden I see lights to my right. I look over and I couldn't believe what I had seen. It was an alien! But it didn't look like the type of aliens people picture. This looked like a super advanced te! chnological robot. It was a dark grey/silver with like a stick body and it had two lights as eyes. And it was moving in one spot. I stood there for a bit observing it. It would just move it's head. I decided to get a better look at it by moving away from the fence and so I did. I walked slowly towards the road and that's when it saw me and froze! It's lights turned off and it stood in one position and did not move. I backed away to were there fence was in between us. It remained that way. I went again and this time it became invisible. I went back to the fence and when I looked at it, it was there again. But still remained frozen. It knew I was watching it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was in shock scared excited and nervous all at the same time. I needed to have someone see what I was seeing because I knew nobody would believe me. So I decided to try to call more people to see if anyone would pick up! I called a friend. He answered! I told him to come ASAP. He asked why what happened?? I told him not to ask and to hurry and come. H! e came and parked in front of my house. I slowly ran over there hoping the thing wouldn't see me. I kept looking back to see if I would stay there and it did. I went up to my friend and from where we were I pointed all the way where the thing was standing by the alley in front of a garage. I asked if he sees a silver thing over there and He said yes. That's when I told him what It was and everything I saw. He looked at me and was like shut up. I said I was being dead serious. He just stared at it. He had a worried/nervous face on. I told him I could take him to where he could see the UFO but he didn't want too! He was scared but he just didn't say it. All he said was no it's nothing. And that he didn't see anything over there. I'm like you just said you saw the silver thing over there now you can't say you didn't because you already admitted to it. I tried to convince him to come to see the UFO in the alley he didn't want to but at the end he did. I took him to the side of ! my friends house and pointed at the alley. I told him if he sa! w the bl ue and orange lights and he said yes I'm like okay that's the UFO. It was kinda distant from us. But he said those are probably lights. He was trying to convince himself that it was something else. He went back to his car and I followed. I'm like wow you're really not going to do this with me? I thought I could count on you. He said no sorry. I'm like why???? You saw everything. Are you really that scared? He said yeah..I'm scared of aliens and all that stuff. I'm like okay I understand I guess I'm just going to find someone else. So he left. I went back to where I was and just watched. I was so amused at what I was seeing. My phone was dying so I went back to my house to charge it. Then I went back to where I was without my phone. Everything was still there. I was by the fence seeing this thing just frozen there. Then all of the sudden i see it's eyes (two lights on the head) start turning on. It was blinking and it looked like it was just waking up. And it just started to ! move its head around and his arms up like it was stretching. It then looked worried and sad. I thought. Is it lost or stuck here? I just stayed there and observed it. I went a bit forward again and I think it saw me trying to get a better view of it so it turned off again and remained frozen. I was upset that my friend didn't want to help with anything. I really needed someone to come. I went back inside to grab my phone to see who I could call. I called my friend and she picked up! I told her to hurry and come and so she did. I did the same and pointed at the silver thing and asked if she saw that she said yes I'm like okay are you sure you see it. It's right there. My finger pointing at it. She said yes what about it. And I told her everything. She came with me to show her the UFO. Shes like are you sure that's it. This was now like 3:30 am. She said what if maybe it's lights from another house or something. I'm like nope it's not. Let's go check it out?? She said that I ! was crazy and went back to her car. I followed. I'm like pleas! e!! She' s like we can go in the car but I'm not walking over there. I'm like fine but it knows and it will probably go invisible. So we went and drove around the block and passed by and then it disappeared and that's when my friend was like wow I give you props for this one. Then she dropped me back off and left. She wasn't much help. I needed someone to have interest in it and explore this with me or I needed to get it on camera or something because I knew nobody would believe me if I told them. I just wanted evidence of what I was seeing. I then thought of my moms video recorder! I 1st went back to see if it was there and it was. So I went to go get my moms video recorder and I went back and tried recording it but it was hard to tell since it was dark out but it had the bottom lights on so you could see that part of the UFO. And I couldn't get the alien robot thing since it was off and it was dark. I then left. And I regret not doing anything else about it. I regret not doing more! further research or anything. Because I knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I maybe be the 1st one to ever see this. Maybe nobody will believe my story. I was indecisive on whether I should do a report on a UFO sighting page or something because what I seen was crazy and maybe nobody will believe me. They will think its a joke or something. But what I seen was real and I may be the 1st one to ever see what I saw. I may be the 1st on to have discovered another alien species from the galaxy. Either way if my report files or not I know someday. Someone will come upon this. Maybe in 4 years or 100 or 8 or 5,000 years but someday someone will rediscover this and everyone will see I was right. - NUFORC

China's Space Station Crashes Into Pacific Ocean

As China’s Tiangong-1 space station hurtled toward Earth on Monday, burning up as it entered the atmosphere, Chinese residents wished the spacecraft a final farewell.

“Goodbye Tiangong-1. You are our hero,” one user wrote on the Chinese microblog Weibo, under the hashtag “Goodbye Tiangong”. Chinese news outlets posted photos and tributes to the 10.4-metre-long space station as it re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere over the south Pacific.

“Let’s take this moment to applaud and cheer her. This time it’s really goodbye,” wrote the Beijing-based Toutiao News.

Tiangong-1, or Heavenly Palace 1, was a symbol of China’s rise when it launched in 2011 and key part of the country’s ambitious space programme, which aims to place a permanent station in orbit by 2023. Read more at Tiangong-1 crash: Chinese space station comes down in Pacific Ocean

Black Hovering Objects Reported Over Chicago

Recently, I was made aware of two strange and somewhat similar daylight accounts from Chicago. One was from a podcast and the other was from a witness who contacted me:

Alex called in to the Monsters Among Us Podcast to talk about a sighting he had on March 19, 2018:

“The Monday before last, which I believe was the 19th of March, I was driving from the Noble Square area of Chicago, somewhat on the north side to the southwest side of the city to stop by my parent's house. This was around noon and as I was getting onto I-94, the Expressway at the Milwaukee on-ramp. I was cut off by a firetruck and ambulance as they were going to tend to an accident. And, as such, I ended up sitting in accident traffic where I literally just put the car in park and just sat. And as I sat there, all of a sudden, there was this black, somewhat triangular...as if it was a low pyramid, a low wide pyramid, started hovering from the left of my view, which was near the skyline was over the expressway and eventually out of sight to the right. But it went back and forth quite a few times.

I originally assumed it was a kite or a balloon. The kite part though just doesn't work because there's nowhere for someone to stand and control it. Perhaps it was a kite that got away but it was moving in a controlled fashion. It was completely black. I thought I noticed a glint of light off of it a couple of times like it was something metallic reflecting which made me think it was Mylar. If it was just a Mylar balloon but again it was moving in such a controlled way, it really kinda started tripping me out. Of course, you can't really gauge size in situations like that. We know that. But it seemed huge especially compared to some of the lake gulls or birds that were flying somewhat in the same vicinity. What really tripped me out though in the end, and this was a good 30 seconds of staring at this...maybe a little less than that, was when I realized it was hovering right over this car accident. And with everything you hear about the Silver Bridge collapse and all the stuff in Point Pleasant, it made the hair on my arms stand up.

I'll be very honest. I don't know that anything was truly Mothman-ish but I wonder if it wasn't a drone of some sort and if had more to do with the person or persons who have been hoaxing this. I have no idea. I have absolutely no idea what it actually was but it certainly did trip me out. To a degree, I consider myself a very rational person. A thoughtful person. And, again, very skeptical, so I have trouble accepting that it was a flying humanoid cryptid hovering over an accident scene but I don't know what to make of it, you know. I'm hoping that maybe somebody else has seen this. That somebody else has a conclusive explanation. Again this was Monday before last. So it believe that was the 19th of March right after St. Patrick's Day, a couple of days after. It was right around probably 12:30 PM, afternoon. It was pretty sunny out, a little windy which is probably an important fact to note but, again, very black with possibly a glint of light that was reflecting off of it as if there was something metallic or shiny on it. When it caught the sun it seemed to glint, at least twice that I noticed. And again, it was kind of a low wide pyramid shape. I would hazard to guess that it was a balloon but who knows?”

NOTE: Alex is obviously a skeptic, especially of the winged humanoid sightings in the Chicago area. He seems to be trying to figured out a rational explanation to what he witnessed. Sometimes it simply requires an open mind and the belief that your eyes are not deceiving you. Lon

The following was forwarded to me on Sunday April 1st. (Not an April Fools joke...lol):

Greetings,

April 1, 2018
S. Prairie & 74th Street
2:17pm CST

I was in a Lyft Line car this afternoon in South Chicago with 2 other passengers. The girl seating in the front points to something in the sky: "What is this?" I move forward and look, I see something black in the sky, not a bird, not a plane. It's black, a shape with angles, and it is moving in a weird manner, almost blinking up and down, not moving any distances. It's just gliding in the same space and then like blinking/moving up & down. The girls are startled...me too. I've never seen something like this before. The driver suggested it's a black plastic bag..."That big, that high ?!" said the girl, "and moving like this....Nah!!"

Coming back home, I checked online if anybody saw something weird in the sky as I did today. And I found many articles about the infamous Chicago Mothman.

I shivered a bit after reading this and stepped on the deck of my building just to check the sky status. I am French, I just moved recently to Chicago 4 months ago, and I NEVER heard such story of MothMan until I started my research online. I am sharing this with you so my observation could eventually help you in your own investigation about this recurrent event.

Best regards, HF

NOTE: I contacted HF and asked if there was anything else about the sighting that she could recall. She was just surprised by her sighting and had no knowledge of the winged humanoid sightings in the Chicago area, since she had just moved from France 4 months ago. Lon

Daily 2 Cents: Humanoids in the Woods -- Watching My Older Doppelgangers -- 'They are coming for me'

Humanoids in the Woods

Ohio: I was looking for a spot to set up a quick campsite in a small patch of woods along a public bicycle path in west central Ohio. I was cold and eager to get a small fire going and get inside my sleeping bag. The area is a refuge for stray cats, many locals drop off their unwanted or stray cats in this area and some local kind-hearted folks feed them and provide plastic containers for shelter. When I found what I thought would be a suitable spot to setup camp I set my bag down and walked a few steps to a large tree to empty my bladder. I had a small flashlight in my bag but the night sky provided enough light after my eyes adjusted.

Suddenly cat dashed through the brush very near me kind of startled me...then another further to left. As I looked toward the sound of the last cat running I could make out the shape of the plastic containers in a small circle that housed some of the cats. I then noticed three sets of pinkish-orange glowing objects with slight movement. I first assumed the glowing objects were the reflection of three cats eyes. After watching the objects further (approximately 30 seconds) I saw that the glowing was in fact some sort of eyewear worn by three human-like figures. As I knelt down to watch I could see these figures were handling the cats, and the subjects were wearing very low reflective off-white or gray coveralls. After about two minutes all three subjects turned their heads toward me. Thinking they might be animal control workers and not wanting to frighten them I stood up and said 'how ya'll doing?' With no vocal response all three begun moving towards me instantly closing to 30 ft that separated us. Slowly again I spoke saying 'what are you guys doing out here?' They continued moving towards me. I heare them talking or communicating but inside my head and in a strange whisper. I couldn't understand. I also notice they were shorter than me. Im 5 10" and I'd guess they was 8"-10" shorter than me. I turned and ran. I then walked a circle around the area and noticed no vehicles or signs of activity. - MUFON

Watching My Older Doppelgangers

“I was like 7 year old, and I remember my mom and several other family member went to my older sister's school where there was a talent show going on. You could choose to dance, sing and act. My sister of nine years old choose to sing, she was a talented singer for her age. So here I am sitting on a chair with my mom. They turn off the lights in the auditorium, only to keep slight lighting on the stage with an artificial light show. The host comes up, tells a few jokes making all the adults laugh, then she calls up a contestant (I don't know the name), who will act. The contestant comes from behind the curtain to act. She is a girl. I just stared at her confused, because SHE LOOKED LIKE ME!! She looked exactly like me only slightly older. I may be a kid but I know my own face, with my same voice. She leaves the stage, now a different contestant comes and goes. Then the host says my sister's name who will sing and a name I don't remember who will play the piano. The curtain opens again, I see my sister and the girl sitting on a chair in front of the piano, and again, I see myself. My sister sings as if nothing is wrong. This time I look at my mom who seems normal too. My sister is done singing leaves the stage with my doppelganger. After that a choir group comes to stage to sing, and on the far right I see another me this time way older singing. This time I couldn't stay quite anymore, I urgently told my mom that 'Mom, she looks like me, why does she looks like me?!!' My mom only tells me to keep quiet and not to bother the audience. I felt ill, I couldn't stay there anymore. I told my mom I'm feeling sick. Mom sends me home with one of my relatives.

This experience was really bizarre and creepy. I didn't tell this to anyone. I don't believe in the simulation conspiracy, but I don't understand why would I see that as a child. Why did I see multiple duplicates of myself like this? I still want an explanation of this.”

'They are coming for me'

Michigan: I was sitting at my computer watching YouTube videos, when someone slipped into my mind. I found myself stuck, and someone started speaking to me in a flood of pictures. They didn't say who they were, or were they were from, I just know that I can't do that, nor have I even thought about that kind of thing before. I know that they did it to me, to see if I wanted to go with them, because they mentioned being surprised at there being intelligent life down there, and when I was done telling them about myself, like being rushed for time, they right away said they would come and pick me up. I didn't know what, or who this person was, but I had a best guess. I insisted that I wasn't going, as they were insistent I was, and I tried to break the link and struggled to do so with all my might, I was barely able to remain thinking on my own. Before, for what I assume was a male, he told me he would be back at a later date, and let me go from struggling with him. The times I have come across them, I was always relived they didn't take me. I don't know when they will, but I do know its been working up to this kind of thing, for whatever reasons they have. I also assumed for some reason, that whoever was talking with me had direct line of sight with me. And sometimes I know when they are around when they set off the flashbulb in my apartment and my whole apartment is a blinding white light, and I get the feeling its so they can see where I am, and what I'm doing. I don't believe in things I can't see, feel touch or hear, I'm not one to make things up or lie for attention. I debated for a long time if I was even going to say anything about it, and I still don't know if I should have. all this seems to be working in steps as whoever it is keeps getting closer - MUFON

'Chicken...with its head cut off'

A chicken from the Ratchaburi Province in central Thailand has been hailed as a “true warrior” for surviving more than a week after being decapitated. It has now been adopted by monks who are feeding it by pumping food into its throat with a syringe.

The headless chicken first made news headlines earlier this week, after photos and videos of it went viral on Thai social media, but no one actually expected it to survive so long without a head. Facebook user Noppong Thitthammo was the first to share the story of the resilient bird, along with photos showing the mangled remains of its neck. He wrote that a vet in the Mueang Ratchaburi district of Ratchaburi Province had been caring for it, feeding it by dropping food down its neck and giving it antibiotics to prevent the infection of its wounds.

“The animal has its life. If it wants to live, we feed it,” Supakadee Arun Thong, the vet who had adopted the headless bird, told Thai reporters.

Nobody seems to know how the chicken lost its head, although many suspect it must have been attacked by an animal predator. Regardless of the circumstances in which it lost its head, everyone agrees that the decapitation should have proved fatal, but the bird refuses to die. And not only is it still alive, but it can also stand and walk around aimlessly. Read more at Chicken in Thailand Still Alive 10 Days After Literally Losing Its Head

Huge Winged Being Encountered in Rural Quebec

I recently received the following report and subsequent follow-up. Other colleagues and I have been tracking flying cryptid & humanoid encounters in Quebec, Ontario & northern New York state since last year. The eyewitnesses have describe huge winged beings, as evident in the The Ottawa Angel Incident and Niagara Mothman accounts. There are other incidents awaiting further investigation:

I was visiting rural Quebec (St. Edgar, New Richmond) over the holidays in December 2017. My boyfriend’s mom and grandmother live there along with most of that side of his family, since his parents are long divorced. There was a lot of snow on the ground and more coming down every day and night, but on this night, there was very little snow coming down and it was easier to see at night. My boyfriend and I had taken his grandmother’s car out to go drifting down a long road surrounded by forest - it’s the same road everyone who is local to the area uses for racing. There’s so little to do in this tiny town that people will actually get drunk and go racing down this winding road for fun, and friends and family will come to watch and cheer them on. There are a lot of car accidents in this area and this area is also overflowing with wildlife. Deer, bear, moose, coyotes, wolves, rabbits, skunks, etc. It’s a fantastic area for hunting (when legal).

So picture this: my boyfriend is driving us to his mother’s house and we’ve been drifting on purpose and laughing and obviously scared of what we were doing but having a great time. We’re almost to the end of the road and because of the drifting, it’s taken longer than usual to get home. Something swoops through the trees to our right, just above where the headlights are lighting up so we can’t see all of it anymore. The thing is so large and heavy that the trees it touched are swaying all around.

It had huge black wings that acted as a sort of “blanket” that covered and blacked out an already dark sky, and its shape was indistinguishable beyond that. The only thing I could think to describe its size was a moose with wings...minus the 4 legs. Definitely not a moose! That’s just to explain the size of the thing.

My boyfriend almost swerved into the trees. He and I were really startled and panicked the whole rest of the drive home, and instead of drifting, we just drove straight home. He refuses to believe it was anything supernatural and decided it must have been the world’s largest owl. I told him that if he ever finds an owl the size of a car he should rest assured it is NOT an owl.

I hadn’t thought about this until a couple of days ago when I was listening to a compilation of stories about skinwalkers, and it got me thinking if what my boyfriend and I saw was some sort of cryptid. The closest resembling cryptid is a mix of a mothman or Jersey Devil? I have no idea. Hopefully this is useful to you.

Thank you, PS

I contacted the witness and asked that she answer a few questions. I explained that there have been similar encounters in Quebec and Ontario in the past. I later received the following information:

Hello!

Holy smokes, so there are other sightings in Quebec! So it was in New Richmond, specifically St. Edgar, and the road is called Chemin Mercier. It’s a very long road to take in the snow. Wingspan...15 or 20 feet? The wings did not look like skin, but rather dark and feathery. The body itself wasn’t very big compared to the wings. Maybe like a fat and very tall person? But I can’t tell you it looked like a person because it did not. It was also very dark outside so I don’t want to come up with a fake description. I wish I could tell you more. It was more vertically significant than wide, like tall instead of broad. Two legs, based on the height of the thing, and definitely not any more legs than that. I did not see arms or a face. I also did not see eyes.

We would have seen it some time between Dec 28-30 (I know this because the 27th was a relaxed day after arriving and the 31st we went skiing... and I ruined my ACL). I recently texted my boyfriend to confirm that it wasn’t just a dream or something and he promised he remembered it too, vividly. The description I gave you includes what he said he saw, too!

If I were to compare it to something, I would say the structure looked like a sinister version of the earth sprite from Fantasia 2000 in the Firebird. Obviously not as big as that, but the way the wings drooped and the breadth from wing to wing is comparable. Scale it down to 15 or 20 feet across and paint the whole thing pitch black- and you have something to compare it to in shape.

Thank you for the reply. I was never a believer in cryptids until recently, when I started wondering again about what I saw.

I hope this helps! PS

NOTE: the comparison to the Earth Sprites from Disney's 'Fantasia 2000' (accompanied by Igor Stravinsky's 'The Firebird' - one of my favorite ballets and orchestral concert works, BTW) is an interesting description. The sightings in the region have been of very large winged beings, somewhat larger than the winged humanoid descriptions from Chicago and Florida. Lon

Unknown Flying Creature Photographed in Chicago Suburb

The Chicago Phantom Task Force received the following information from our team member Vance Nesbitt:

Thursday March 29, 2018
12:30 PM CST

As a standard routine for the company that employs me, lunch time is usually 12:00 to 12:45 PM. My job description however puts me on the road for the logistics portion of the business during those hours. With the upcoming Easter holiday, schedules have changed with some clients of ours and I happened to be at the home office in St. Charles, Il during the lunch break.

I was outside the building at 12:30 PM or very close to that time by myself.

I know by habit that my friend and co-worker Bill comes out to have a smoke around that time. I was facing south leaning against the tall guardrail in the driveway, when my attention was grabbed from the top of my eye.

I took a moment to to figure out what I was looking at and soon realized it was a bird. It had circled once in a huge diameter and before it were to head out of view. This thing was enormous. I say that by the speed in which it circled seemed so slow and it moved like a circling airplane with no wing flap.

I literally ran to my desk from outside which is only 10 feet from the outside door to get my phone in hope of getting some sort of picture. I ran back out and now I began to shake as to what I'm seeing. Just then Bill came outside and said "What?" since he saw me scanning the sky with my phone on camera mode.

It only took him a second to see it too.

This thing was flying over our heads at about 900 to 1000 feet up.




I have spent 13 years in the aviation business and it's a habit to identify planes by nature. For the business that Bill and myself do for a living, we both have a great sense of movement and judgement for distance.

I said out loud that the wingspan of this creature was at least 8 feet and I compared it to the length of a horse and or cow. Bill was wowed by it as I was too. I mentioned before that I was shaking from excitement and shock I think while trying to capture those photos. I have to say while this all took place in less than a minute (including me running for my phone) we both were left saying WTF? That was freaking huge.

I'm pretty well versed in the large bird variety around northern Illinois. St. Charles is 30 miles due west of Chicago. Sandhill Cranes are in migration right now and most all cranes fly in groups.

As a matter of fact I've never seen one solo in flight or on the ground. Herons and Egrets are more visible now with warmer weather coming as well as the Turkey Vultures. I know for certain that this creature we saw was at least double in size to the Sandhills and would dwarf a Vulture. I should include that I have seen a number of Bald Eagles here too on the Fox River which runs through St. Charles. Again whatever we saw was so much bigger and traveled what seemed so slow from south to north. The wings showed no typical fingers on the tips as the other birds mentioned have and I found that to be odd. The body and wings were a solid black in color, it was very uniformed. I did feel strongly however that this being was a bird and not a flying humanoid. Funny thing, I'm still shaking while writing this.

I'd be really interested in facts and not exploited stories about what this creature is. I am unaware of any wingspan larger than a crane in North America. I wouldn't rule out a Condor however the long thin legs trailing behind made this all the more odd.

NOTE: Vance has been a member of the Chicago Phantom Task Force since its inception. Could this have been a Thunderbird (a flying creature that has been reported in Illinois in the past)? A discussion among the team resulted in an 'unknown' assessment. I have included the original photos, plus comparison images of other large birds indigenous to the area. Any updates will be included with this post. This sighting has been added to the Chicago Phantom / Owlman / Mothman / Man-Bat / Flying Humanoid Reports - Chicago Metro Area - Interactive Map

Time Slips and Unexplained Glitches

“I once had a glitch and it scared the living sh*t out of me. My school once had an exhibition (I think that's what it's called) and I had to go there to help my class prepare stuff. I was going around to see a few exhibition pieces of other classes. I stumbled upon a room where the curtains were open and there were clothes inside. In the other room next to it was a room where the curtains were closed and there were some kind of red LED lights in there with jewels and a woman was sitting in the room. I think she was a seller. After I looked around, I left the room and wanted to go back to my friends. I wanted to pass the room with the opened curtains but I realized that it wasn't the same room anymore. It was the room with the LED lights with the woman sitting in the chair. I went back to the other room and that was the LED light room too. After that, I explored both rooms and I couldn't find a difference. I just got more and more worried that I might be hallucinating or be on drugs. But I didn't think so because I would be able to feel it, I think. And hallucinations are short. I sometimes hallucinate when I have fever, that's why I know that.

So, after the exploration, I stood a few minutes in the corridor, frightened. After those few minutes I dared to move and see if the rooms changed. They changed indeed. The room, that once was white and where the clothes were, was there. Everything was normal. Since that day, I haven't told anyone about that strange phenomenon. I couldn't tell anyone. But I wanted to tell someone who would believe me.”

"I had an encounter on a military post - Fort Riley, KS two months ago. I was outside late, sitting in my car maybe about 0100 and a loud buzzing sound went off and it sounded like someone was about to say something then it cut out. The barracks in front of me and adjacent to my building then came to life, the doors swung open and soldiers in full uniform all started walking out. They weren’t quite walking or running something in between like a really fast paced walk, almost a jog. No name tapes and no US army tapes. Didn’t recognize a single soldier among the three dozen or so that were there. I tried to stop them and ask what they were doing. No response. None of them they all just kept walking. In the direction of some training areas. I tried to catch up on foot but wasn’t trying to run after them so I got in my car and rode parallel to the path they were walking on. The road however had so many potholes it felt like I was going off road. Then I got to the point where the path went into some woods so I got out of my car in a near by parking lot and they weren’t there. I ran on the path they went on. No one. No boot prints nothing. Probed the wood line, couldn’t hear or see anyone. Went back to my car freaked out and generally flabbergasted and looked at my phone that I had left in the car and it said 0434 which is impossible because all of this couldn’t have taken place in more than 20 minutes or so.

So I was pretty freaked out and had no explanation. A bunch of soldiers without name tapes coming out of a building where there’s no way that many people lived in? Crazy. The road which had been worked on just a couple weeks ago and resurfaced having potholes at least half a foot deep? Insane. And now I have to do PT in like an hour. So yeah I kind of dropped maybe I was dreaming but all sh*t was so real. Maybe some kind of training I wasn’t privy to? Who knows. I for sure don’t have a f**king clue.”

“My BFF had a "shifting" experience. She and an acquaintance were on their way to a funeral, and, because they were running late (as per usual), they decided to go straight to the cemetery and skip the church ceremony. They made it to the cemetery, but they couldn't for the life of them find the rest of the funeral party. They wandered around weirded out for a while, trying to call up the other people, but they had no signal. They then decided to head out, go home, maybe have a coffee. As they left, they noticed another cemetery a bit further away, so they made their way towards it- lo and behold, they managed to find the rest of the funeral party in no time, as the second cemetery was quite smaller and easier to navigate. When they then apologized to the organizer for being late, and told them they mistakenly went to the "other" cemetery, she was bemused -because, she said, it's okay you were a bit late, there's no need to lie. There is only one cemetery in the village. They still don't know where they were.”

“I haven't ever experienced any major 'glitches' myself. The only one I've ever witnessed happening happened to a friend when I was 10 years old and it was minor (I guess). We were at his house and he went to grab a controller from his room so as we could play a match against each other on FIFA (we did 4-man mini tournaments). His room is just a hallway away. He stayed in there 20 minutes and we (me, the brother of my friend and another guy) started to wonder what he did in there. Then he came back after 20 minutes and we asked what was he doing in there all this time and he sincerely told us that he just went in his room grabbed a controller and came back immediately and he didn't remember doing anything else and that for him it was just a moment. He had just lost 20 minutes from his life, literally. Nothing major or life changing but we still were kinda freaked out with the whole situation. We just brushed it off like the 10-year-olds we were. It just came back to my memory. Don't know if it's worth mentioning that my friend and his brother are identical twins, if that increases the chance of glitches or something.”

Daily 2 Cents: Pope Declares 'There is no Hell' -- Abducted by Black Triangular Craft -- New Human Organ Discovered

Pope Declares 'There is no Hell'

In another interview with his longtime atheist friend, Eugenio Scalfari, Pope Francis claims that Hell does not exist and that condemned souls just "disappear." This is a denial of the 2,000-year-old teaching of the Catholic Church about the reality of Hell and the eternal existence of the soul.

The interview between Scalfari and the Pope was published March 28, 2018 in La Repubblica. The relevant section on Hell was translated by the highly respected web log, Rorate Caeli.

The interview is headlined, "The Pope: It is an honor to be called revolutionary." (Il Papa: “È un onore essere chiamato rivoluzionario.")

Scalfari says to the Pope, "Your Holiness, in our previous meeting you told me that our species will disappear in a certain moment and that God, still out of his creative force, will create new species. You have never spoken to me about the souls who died in sin and will go to hell to suffer it for eternity. You have however spoken to me of good souls, admitted to the contemplation of God. But what about bad souls? Where are they punished?"

Pope Francis says, "They are not punished, those who repent obtain the forgiveness of God and enter the rank of souls who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and cannot therefore be forgiven disappear. There is no hell, there is the disappearance of sinful souls." Read more at Pope Francis: 'There Is No Hell'

Abducted by Black Triangular Craft

Duluth, MN - 2017-06-04: I have trouble remembering details. I was abducted onto a triangle shaped black craft. There were multiple three-foot tall gray aliens with big, slanted, black eyes and big heads. There was a leader gray alien who was around 7 feet tall. I don't remember much about being on the ship, which seems strange to me. I managed to video tape them leaving after they dropped me off. They didn't bring me back home, they dropped me off randomly outside somewhere a few miles from home. This is not the first time this has happened to me and my memory always seems hazy of the events. Sometimes memories come back in my dreams about them being doctors or something. - MUFON

New Human Organ Discovered

Anatomy books are in need of a major upgrade, argue a team of scientists in a paper published Tuesday in the journal Scientific Reports. They say the body contains a previously undiscovered network of fluid-filled pockets and collagen underneath the skin that covers most of the body and internal organs. More than that, the structure should be considered an organ itself.

The proposed organ, christened the interstitium (“interstices” being a catch-all term for the space between the structures of the body), was discovered accidentally, the researchers say.

They stumbled upon it while conducting routine endoscopies, a medical procedure that sends a small camera down your gullet in order to look at the digestive tract. Newer versions of the endoscopy, using lasers, now allow doctors to look at living tissue on a microscopic level. But when they took a peek at patients’ bile ducts, instead of finding the dense connective tissue assumed to be enveloping most organs, they saw something else: a mesh-like pattern of dark branching bands made of collagen surrounding large, fluid-filled spaces.
