Strange Lights Appear Over Japanese, U.S. Cities

Last week the world saw the appearance of two sets of strange lights over Japan and Wisconsin that were similar in nature.  The first appeared over Wisconsin on July 25th and was captured by of policeman on cell phone. The second a few days later was captured over Osaka, Japan.

The appearance led to speculation of everything from Chinese lanterns, UFO’s to an outright hoax. In the case of the Milwaukee sighting a parachute Army team came forward and stated it was them that caused the strange lights. They were wearing flares on the feet.

There has been no word as of yet on what may have caused the lights over Osaka.

Is Loch Ness Monster a Catfish?

Is the Loch Ness Monster a Catfish? That is what one researcher is now stating after devoting a good piece of his time to finding the elusive Nessie. Steve Feltham has spent 25 years chasing after the Loch Ness Monster and at the end of it all he believes that she nothing more than a wels catfish.

The wels catfish is know to grow a big as 16 feet and weigh up to 600 pounds. This would certainly put it in the size and weight class of the Loch Ness Monster. The wel catfish is seen more in Italy or Spain but are seen around the world. Skeptics state that this doesn’t account for the elongated neck that we see in the famous photos.

Here is a rendition of the Loch Ness Monster and a giant catfish. You be the judge.

Map of UFO Sightings Since 1933

Digital cartographer Levi Pearson has taken sightings information from the National UFO Reporting Center and placed it all together into the map you see below.

The map does, however, represent a great use of location-based data – and CartoDB. And it provides a nice snapshot of where and when sightings have surged and dipped over nearly 100 years, as Pearson noted in his blog post:

The first thing that jumped out was the increase in sightings during the 1950s and 1960s. It turns out that the CIA’s U2 program may be responsible for several of these report. In late 2014 the CIA took to Twitter to take credit for nearly HALF of the UFO reporting in the 1950s. – Source
