1. I’ve never seen that top photo (in article linked below) from Australia before. Supposedly taken in 1966 —before digitalized fakery became the norm (or at least the #1 suspect). I’ll have to look into that case and confirm the photo is from that time/place/incident. If genuine, it’s as clear a photo as one could ask for.

2. Also, this is the first time I’ve seen those O’hare Airport photos. Very famous incident that was all over the press at that time.

3. I have always been interested in the Phoenix Lights case, if only because it was witnessed by hundreds of people.

More on that Australia case. And there is that photo again:

I like to keep an open mind on UFOs yet the proof doesn't amount to much. Cell phone pics; images in the SW USA sky
are likely USAF experimental; admittedly the Aussie HS incident shows intrigue but we still need more.

space rock discovered just before it wizzed between earth and the moon. As big as a house, it could have caused damage. Thank goodness it missed. Just a matter of time.

If only Silicon Valley Bank were a bank and not an asteroid; same with Barclays and Credit Suisse just a laundry,
instead of extraterrestrial objects hurtling toward earth. I'll bet Ladbrokes has a line on this.

Here is a headline designed to alert the wannabe conspiracy theorists among us: “Mysterious ‘difficulties’ prevent secretive nuclear lab from releasing records on first known interstellar object to land on earth.” Bonus: The article even mentions the U.S. Space Command’s involvement!

As I recall, a few years ago, a suspected interstellar object (thought to be a metallic space rock) plunged into the ocean near Papua New Guinea. At the time, there was some talk about trying to retrieve it.

At this point, I’d suspect that the “mystery” is nothing more than a tangle of government bureaucracy. But here’s to hoping it might be a spooky cover-up.

An interstellar meteorite slammed into Siberia around 1918 to whack pine trees around like toothpicks.
And being Roman Catholic, the Blessed Virgin's mysterious appearance at Fatima Portugal about the same time.
Coincidence?

The recovery mission to Papua New Guinea is a “Go”!
They’ve got a boat, a “dream team” of scientists, a bunch of sophisticated equipment, and —most importantly— the permission of the PNG government. However, they are also dialing back expectations: they say they are unlikely to find an intact alien probe. It is more likely that it (whatever it is) broke up into very very small fragments. BTW, the military assisted in pinpointing the location.

This will certainly be an interesting story to keep our eyes on. The expedition will likely take place this summer.

A small meteorite or chunk my guesstimate. Hope there wasn't a trout swimming around when that rock hit.

RING Camera footage…

Three military helicopters in triangular formation held then altered in flight.
Guesstimate US Army night flying maneuver.

^^^ Good hypothesis. However, you can clearly hear a car going by, but no sound of helicopters. It’s a quiet night. Why can’t we hear them? The lights seem fairly close. Either way, a check of air traffic control records should be able to verify if it was helicopters.

Not to belabour this further but I thought I discerned chopper wash. Bees it as a bumble bee flight.
A little Al Hirt horn would make a good show soundtrack.

I know that Missouri is famous for soybeans and tornadoes, but now I guess we have to add UFOs to that auspicious list…

Piedmont has the 50th anniversary coming up & planning a weekend event. That celebration & the tourism that comes with it is probably what’s behind the bill.

A 1941 crash at nearby Cape Girardeau, MO where a minister was called out in the night to administer last rights to what was thought to be victims of a plane crash predates the Roswell, NM event. After returning home & in the following yrs the minister told his family & a few others that the victims were not human.

https://www.kfvs12.com/2021/05/26/alleged-ufo-crash-cape-girardeau-area/

Lots of reported sightings thru the yrs in the SE corner of the state. That area is known for its lead & coal mining, minerals, & the New Madrid fault line. I’ve always wondered if there could be a correlation.

If you have access to any archival newspaper service look up the summer of 1974 in the US Midwest, from KS to IL where people were reporting seeing unidentified kangaroo-like creatures.

Thank you for the link! I had never heard of the Cape Girardeau Crash until yesterday…. And now, suddenly, I hear about it twice in two days. (The “library angels” obviously want me to read up on the topic.)

The first reference was here (link below), in the part 2 paragraphs, half way down. kinda random.

Thanks again. Very interesting.

Thanks for the link. I’ll have more info, maybe some in private whenI get home later.

Missouri is rich in minerals. Lots of quartz, limestone, chert, & the world’s only source of Mozarkite. It is said that the glaciers pushed the minerals here & the minerals remain from when the ice receded.

Cape Girardeau, MO is just down stream on the Mississippi River from Cahokia, IL where one of the ancient civilizations of mound builders lived in North America. If you ever get interested in the North American mound builders, study the published work of Terrance McKenna (now deceased).

Piedmont, MO was the site of a Civil War skirmish & most of the casualties were buried where they fell. In the early 1900’s several miners were killed when a blasting charge went off before the mine was evacuated for the day. Ghostly sightings of soldiers & miners have frequently been reported around the Piedmont area thru the yrs.

The area of Gainesville, MO has had its share of reported UFO sightings.

Marley Woods in MO (the name known to the public) is being studied much like a research lab, for its frequent sightings of orbs & UFO’s.

Whatever the cause we do not live in a sterile vacuum.

Fascinating stuff. Being a collector of stories of the unexplained, the Marley Woods, MO, tales especially caught my interest. So I did a little additional research and found this:

http://stateoftheozarks.net/showcase/2020/07/24/the-ozark-spooklights/

I immediately noted that the stories of eerie glowing orbs that float through the woods are a Lot like the stories of glowing orbs that are found in Oklahoma; right next door (so to speak) to Missouri. Those OK orb stories can be found in post #669 over in the Agents of F.L.A.S.K. thread. The stories are almost identical.

The Missouri Marley Woods version is only a little creepier because that elderly woman tells about how, when she was little, children would interactively play with the orbs. The way she describes it is a little unsettling.

Definitely some spooky stuff going on in Missouri.

I haven’t personally seen the Hornet Spooklight but wouldn’t categorize it or any spooklight, really, with the sightings & strange goings on at Marley Woods. From what I know the happenings at Marley Woods are more akin to those at Skinwalker Ranch & others.

Where I grew up, just north of town there was an area of mounds on public property. County history says they are geologic mounds & not Indian burial mounds. Back in the day when teenage couples used the area as a lovers lane there were frequent sightings & reports of lights being seen. The County Sheriff or the local highway patrol trooper would be the one to respond to those sighting reports. The most logical explanation ever given was the lights were electrical energy created by plate movement & traveling along the quartz & mineral veins in the mounds. Stored energy among the quartz would build up, then discharge. Today that area is part of a state conservation area. They have put in walking trails & you are not allowed to get off trail, & so can no longer drive closer than maybe a quarter mile to the mounds. The area closes at dark, kids no longer park there so you don’t hear anything about the lights anymore.
