Erebus crash blamed for Antarctica 'ghosts'
American Allie Barden was sent to work in a stores building at McMurdo Station, the United States base near New Zealand's Scott Base, and knew it was empty because it was padlocked from outside when she arrived. "As soon as I entered, something was weird," she said. "I took a couple of steps in (and) the hair on the top of my head stood on end – footsteps upstairs; undeniably footsteps. A slow cadence of footsteps. "I froze. It went from the back of the building to the front"...

More Roswell debris?
Ten years ago, on the anniversary of the Roswell UFO crash, the talk of the festival (when not consumed with the nonsense spouted by Lieutenant Colonel Philip Corso) was a piece of metallic debris that had been subjected to chemical analysis and testing by a credentialed scientist.

Only a small percentage of the population know about the most famous cases, and usually just the most recent ones. What is really interesting though, is that almost anyone perks up when the subject is mentioned in a relaxed setting. Why is this?..
