Nun's wounds possibly satanic
Investigators say
stab wounds on the chest of a nun slain in a hospital chapel in 1980 formed an
upside-down cross, a symbol that an expert on Roman Catholic law and
the occult testified Monday has been used in
satanic worship...

Fiery death still a mystery
Authorities still do not know what caused the death of Mary Jean Endris, who was found in bed after a fire at her home Sunday. “It may be two to three weeks before we make a determination,” said Lawrence County Coroner John Sherrill.

Could 1964 UFO be lunar lander?
Something strange happened in the desert near Socorro NM, on a spring night 42 years ago, and a State Police officer was there to report it. It has become known as the Zamora UFO Incident, named for officer Lonnie Zamora. While not as publicized as the legendary Roswell Incident, this UFO landing made national headlines at the time sparking intrigue and speculation ever since. Experts who investigated the case have no doubt that he saw what he said he saw. But after years of harassment and ridicule, Zamora, now 73 and living in Socorro, vowed in 1994 never to speak of the incident again...
Giant turtle's 5,000-mile odyssey in search of food
2 men discover what may be hemisphere's oldest seasonal calendar
Vacation. You know, snap a few pictures, buy a few T-shirts, sample a little Peruvian alpaca. But somewhere between the lost Incan city of Machu Picchu and mountaintop observatories of Cerro Tololo, Chile, retiree Larry Adkins opened a mysterious e-mail from an old childhood pal. And suddenly, Adkins, 66, of Tustin was solving a 4,000-year-old riddle, wrapped around pyramids, buried temples, mummies and a dark-cloud constellation known as The Fox. The temple just may be the Western Hemisphere's equivalent of Stonehenge, an ancient calendrical device intended to mark the seasons by pinpointing the summer solstice sunrise and the winter solstice sunset...
Biology meets Bigfoot
Scott Moody is willing to give just about anyone the benefit of the doubt. Until the facts are in, that is. The evidence doesn’t lie. That’s why Moody, a 57-year-old forensic biologist at Ohio University, didn’t automatically dismiss numerous Bigfoot sightings in Ohio through the years until he investigated one particular event. Now, Moody says he thinks that Bigfoot sightings in Ohio are nothing more than myth...

A UFO/alien encounter in Bloomington, Indiana
As Ufologists we hear many stories of unusual encounters and sightings of exotic crafts flying through our day and night skies. Every once in a while we come across a case that truly defies explanation. This is one of those cases I am writing about now. I was contacted recently and was sent a couple of photos of something unusual. At least for now it remains unexplained. At first the conversation started over the object itself but what I didn't realize was, that there was a lot more to come....
Why we haven't met any aliens
The story goes like this: Sometime in the 1940s, Enrico Fermi was talking about the possibility of extra-terrestrial intelligence with some other physicists. They were impressed that life had evolved quickly and progressively on Earth. They figured our galaxy holds about 100 billion stars, and that an intelligent, exponentially-reproducing species could colonize the galaxy in just a few million years. They reasoned that extra-terrestrial intelligence should be common by now. Fermi listened patiently, then asked, simply, "So, where is everybody?" That is, if extra-terrestrial intelligence is common, why haven't we met any bright aliens yet? This conundrum became known as Fermi's Paradox...
