Government Heavies or Alien Agents?
Men in Black’ (MIB) – the shady figures who visit witnesses after a UFO encounter with the apparent purpose of preventing them from talking in public about their sighting.
No reasonable estimates can be made about the total number of MIB cases in the UK, especially given the possible obscuration of the evidence. If taken as a raw percentage of documented UFO cases in the British Isles, less than one per cent shows MIB features. However, in a couple of surveys following up on old sightings from official records, nearer five per cent of traced witnesses mentioned MIB elements that had not previously been reported. So the actual UK total could be as low as a couple of dozen or as high as several hundred cases.
In the second part of this report, I want to look at the results of my new analysis of 20 UK cases. Most are firsthand investigations.
Alien sightings reported in North Port, Florida
NORTH PORT: Family members are scared to go outside at night because of what they say is lurking in the woods. They claim more than five alien encounters in the last four months have taken place. Now, an international UFO organization wants to crack the real-life X-file.
Michael Rowley and his son Shane moved to their North Port home in April.
"Well, I'm retired and I thought this was where you're supposed to go," Michael said. "The only bad part is the aliens around here."
Shane, 16, says he's had several extra-terrestrial encounters - most of which have been through his bedroom window.
"They kind of show up when they want. You get used to them, but it is weird to see them walking around the woods with those big eyes," he said.
"I haven't seen the wings but we know he flies," added Michael.
The Rowleys' twilight story has the attention of MUFON - Mutual UFO Network. The group is investigating and wants to setup surveillance. But Michael believes they won't show up if cameras are around.
Is this a photograph of a ghost? The Science Of Hauntings
An eerie image of a figure in period costume at a Scottish castle has spooked experts conducting the biggest ever investigation into photographic evidence for ghosts. The picture, taken in May 2008, appears to show a man or woman in a ruff peering out of a barred window at Tantallon Castle. No mannequins or costumed guides are employed at the castle, and three photographic experts have confirmed that no digital trickery was used on the photo. Tantallon Castle, a ruined fortress dating back to the 14th century, stands on a remote rocky headland near North Berwick on the Scottish east coast
Members of the public were asked to submit ghostly images for experts to analyse, the best of which were posted on the website www.scienceofhauntings.com

World record for biggest zombie gathering set at festival
The world record for the largest gathering of zombies has been broken at the Big Chill festival near Ledbury, Herefordshire.
An official tally of 4,026 pale and bloodied revellers congregated at the festival.
Many more are believed to have been present but did not fill in a form to be counted in the record attempt.
They were also taking part in filming for the forthcoming Film4 and Warp Films' production, I Spit On Your Rave.
The film, set nine years in the future with mankind extinct after a virus is released at the 2012 Olympics, stars comedian Noel Fielding as the zombie king.
The previous record for the largest zombie gathering was set last month when 3,894 participants congregated in Seattle.
Katrina Larkin, the Big Chill festival director and co-founder, said: "The fact that 4,026 people filled out a form was excellent but there were loads more there also taking part."
She added: "It was not so much that people turned up as zombies but the effort that people went to by dressing up as zombie brides and nurses.
"It was such a laugh and just created the best atmosphere and start to the festival ever."
Britain's secret mission to expose Scientology leader as 'fraud'
British diplomats compiled evidence 30 years ago that the founder of Scientology, L Ron Hubbard, was a "fraud", according to National Archive papers.
Whitehall officials discovered the science-fiction writer, who invented a religion now followed by celebrities such as Tom Cruise, awarded himself a PhD from a sham college he had acquired in California.
The information was gathered in secret by workers at the British consulate in Los Angeles on behalf of the government, which feared a libel action following its 1968 decision to ban followers from entering Britain to visit the sect's headquarters in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
In search of Bigfoot
Even the scientists who are DNA testing hair found in a suspected Bigfoot print say they expect the results to come back as bear or bison. Why is the myth of this huge ape-like beast so powerful for many cultures?
- Bigfoot n. - large, hairy, humanoid creature said to wander the wooded wilds of the Pacific Northwest. Also known as Sasquatch (Canada), the Yeti or Abominable Snowman (Asia), Mapinguari (the Amazon) and Yowie (Australia).
In the Himalayas there's an old Sherpa saying that, "There is a Yeti in the back of everyone's mind; only the blessed are not haunted by it."
Many cultures have legends about solitary man-beasts, and recorded sightings in North America and Asia date back to the early 1800s. Despite numerous sightings, photos and footprints of often questionable origin, there has never been conclusive proof that these creatures exist. No droppings, no bones, no hair and no bodies found - alive or dead.
And this week, geneticists at the University of Alberta are putting the legend to the test as they scrutinise hair alleged to have come from Bigfoot. The results are due on Thursday.
