Spectacular marine lightwheel display witnessed by Navy crew
Ed Sherwood: Sunday morning May 20, 2007 I awoke to several astonishing email messages from excited crewmembers aboard a US Navy ship deployed in waters off the Iranian coast. Over the night of May 19, 2007 they witnessed something that had completely stunned, amazed, and shocked them and, as one said, made them think that Iran had some “new form of weaponry” that was being deployed against them (!)...

On All Saints' Day a couple of years ago, she is certain she saw someone — something? — amble out of the kitchen at Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub, her family's place.
