The Beast of Cannock Chase is back - and on the hard-shoulder. Motorists on Junction 10A of the M6, near Cannock, jammed Highways Agency helplines on Wednesday morning, with reports of a 'wolf-like creature' racing between lanes at rush hour. Motorists looked on in disbelief as the three-foot long creature, described as 'greyish black', raced between lanes, dodging stunned motorists before diving for cover in nearby trees…
Cycling ghost seen on bypass
Is the Louth bypass haunted by a ghost on a bike? A couple of holiday makers from Leicester said they saw an old man on an old bike cycling along the middle of the bypass. It was in the middle of the afternoon at a section between the London Road roundabout and the A157 roundabout. Teresa and John Gillson, 59 and 61, from Wigston, near Leicester, said he was wearing a jacket, trousers and a cloth cap that looked to be from the turn of the century.
They said the bicycle also looked as though it was from the same period. Mrs Gillson said: "We both saw it at the same time. It was really, really strange." "We've never forgotten about it”…
UFO caught on camera
A pleasant evening barbecue turned into a sci-fi drama when a teenager spotted a UFO and captured it on film. For 19-year-old Jamie Crawford it was a dream come true when he was able to reach for his camcorder and record his sighting. An expert has confirmed the images are genuine. "I've always wanted to see a UFO and to catch one on tape is a real bonus," said Mr Crawford of Marjoram Walk, Banbury. "I was very excited and shaking like mad while I filmed…
Drake Equation, by Stanton T. Friedman
On Saturday, March 25, 2006, I presented the final lecture of the day at the Aztec, New Mexico, Annual Crash Anniversary Conference The reality of the March, 1948, crash, about which I had initially been quite skeptical, has become more and more believable thanks primarily to the fine research by Scott Ramsey. I had spoken about Roswell and MJ-12 at some earlier Aztec UFO conferences, but this year the title of my program was “UFOs vs. SETI: Science vs. Pseudo-science.” In my lecture I contrasted the enormous amount of evidence indicating some UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft and the total absence of evidence provided by the SETI LogoSETI community to justify both their neglect of the UFO evidence and their strange reasoning that listening for radio signals from ET is somehow a scientific endeavor. A psychologist I once knew would probably explain their behavior as projection on to others of their own failure to provide evidence…
Mysterious lunar swirls stump scientists
Picture this: A cup of coffee, steaming and black. Add a dollop of milk and gently stir. Eddies of cream go swirling around the cup. Magnify that image a million times and you've got a Lunar Swirl. Lunar swirls are strange markings on the Moon that resemble the cream in your coffee -- on a much larger scale. They seem to be curly-cues of pale moondust, twisting and turning across the lunar surface for dozens of miles. Each swirl is utterly flat and protected by a magnetic field. What are they? "We don't know," says Bob Lin of UC Berkeley, who has been studying the swirls for almost 40 years. "These things are very strange”…

Ma Qingrong, 62, from Dayao County, Southwest China's Yunnan Province, dreamed 16 years ago about finding a huge fortune hidden on Mount Maanshan, 20 kilometers away from the village he lives in…
These people really think they are vampires
I don’t know how I found this site; I don’t know why I looked at it. However, it’s quite entertaining so prepare to laugh your ass off. I found a message board (http://p206.ezboard.com/bsanguinarius) created for vampires – there are people who actually believe they are blood-drinking vampires. There are over a thousand members, and the board is fairly active. Don’t worry; they only drink blood from the willing…
Neighbors discover 4-foot shark while on daily desert walk
Neighbors Richard Doornbos and Al Embry have stumbled upon numerous mysteries of the Mojave Desert, but never anything like this. Last week, while walking in a large vacant field across from Sultana High School near G Avenue, the two found a 4-foot-long and ominously unmistakeable shark. The fish, which appeared to have been dumped just hours before, bore large spotted markings…
