Record meteorite hit Norway
As Wednesday morning dawned, northern Norway was hit with an impact comparable to the atomic bomb used on Hiroshima. At around 2:05 a.m. on Wednesday, residents of the northern part of Troms and the western areas of Finnmark could clearly see a ball of fire taking several seconds to travel across the sky. A few minutes later an impact could be heard and geophysics and seismology research foundation NORSAR registered a powerful sound and seismic disturbances at 02:13.25 a.m. at their station in Karasjok…
Treasure hunters attracted to Japan's legendary Holy Grail
Holy Grail! Japan can lay claim to a Second Coming of Christ that even now, hundreds of years later, is so wrapped in mystery it can rival the enigmas of "The Da Vinci Code," according to Weekly Playboy (6/19). Dan Brown's novel "The Da Vinci Code" and the film of the same name currently performing box office miracles around the world, center around the premise that the Holy Grail wasn't some sort of cup, but the direct blood descendant of Jesus Christ…
Redoubted Rising Son true raider of the lost ark
Indiana Jones' swashbuckling exploits were nothing more than what George Lucas and Steven Spielberg imagined them to be. Suggestions the Nazis searched far and wide for it are sheer poppycock. And the idea of a U.S. government cover-up is preposterous. The fabled Ark of the Covenant, supposedly lost for millennia, has been in Japan all along, according to Paparazzi (1/13). Despite being firmly entrenched in the Buddhist and Shinto camps, Japan claims a number of biblical ties, such as being home to one of the lost tribes of Israel and the site of Jesus Christ's grave in a small town in Aomori Prefecture, so the idea of the lost ark being in the Land of the Rising Sun isn't as outlandish as it seems…
Man wants cash for mystery skull
The Pangnirtung man who recently discovered a mysterious skull says he plans to sell it to the highest bidder. Andrew Dialla discovered the odd-looking skull while walking with his five-year-old daughter about a month and a half ago. It looks like a baby caribou skull, except elders have said caribou don’t have horns at that young an age…
TPS enables study of mysterious Pioneer anomaly
There's a mystery at the edge of our solar system: Two spacecraft, Pioneers 10 and 11, which were launched to Jupiter and Saturn more than 30 years ago, are hurtling towards the edge of our solar system - but at a slower than expected rate. Called the Pioneer Anomaly, the effect of this slowing is small, but measurable, and so far unexplained…
UFO abducted town’s residents in 1965, says author
Were you in Grantham on the evening of November 9, 1965? Yes? Then you were abducted by aliens but inconveniently have had the memory wiped, according to a new book. Indeed, only a cover-up by the Journal and all the usual Government suspects has prevented the story being told ... until now. Asylum – The Definitive UFO and Alien Abduction Experience is written by Anthony R. Mallin and claims to be based on the story of a real person, Clive Powers, who as a boy in 1960 was groomed by the aliens when they touched down in Syston five years earlier…
Host with the ghost?
When a group of paranormal investigators spent the evening in a pub in Farleigh Hungerford, they came away feeling they had no concrete proof of a supernatural presence there. But when they got home and developed the camera film they were stunned to see a misty face staring out from the picture…
Brown Mountain Mystery: Lights, rarely spotted, spark lots of speculation
The Brown Mountain lights dance in the night sky, shimmering and mysterious … at least that's what I've heard.

Rainbow that set the sky on fire
37 years after snapping photo, Bigfoot talk gets man's goat
The Lake Worth Monster lives on in a grainy 1969 photo. To some hobbyists, it's proof that our "Goat-Man" of legend was Texas' own Bigfoot. But the man who shot the photo now says talk of a swamp beast is "silly." The fleeing "monster" looked more like a prankster with a fur or rug, Allen Plaster, 59, of Fort Worth, says. And the "Goat-Man" should be glad that Plaster shot only a Polaroid…
