Thousands Witness UFO Over Salta
It was somewhere between two hundred and three hundred meters in length, and soundless as it parted the heavens above shocked witnesses. Jaws dropped and loved ones embraced as the dramatic vehicle slowly wafted over them. Then, almost as quickly as it appeared it drifted into the night. Later, at El Tunal power station one worker looked up from his clipboard out the window as the craft hovered directly above the plant. At that instant the power generator burned out just as the craft hovered above the station.

Picture Your Thoughts on a Computer Screen
Scientists at the UCB psych center claim they have developed the means to transfer thoughts directly from the brain onto a computer screen. If this is true, soon we may be able to transpose images from our own memories (and even dreams) into videos. Thought testimony will soon be seen in courtrooms, as witnesses “recall” in full detail the incidents in question. But perhaps most importantly (and frighteningly) the rift between our minds and the eyes of others will be breached.

The Carrington Event
It was a morning just as any other in 1859 on September first. Just days before Edwin Drake had struck oil in Pennsylvania, striking it rich and setting off the Pennsylvania oil rush, the first intercollegiate baseball season was just coming to an end, and The Sun was about to do something that would disrupt and even destroy all of the sturdy electrical equipment recently set up to facilitate communication. It’s one of the most important stories never told. If it should ever happen again, life as we know it would change forever on this planet.

Haunted Illinois: The 'S' May be Silent, but the Ghosts Are Not
Illinois’ bloody history can be traced back to the gangs that roamed the countryside all the way back in the times of Charlie Berger and Al Capone. Organized crime may have been born on the East Coast, but it certainly cut its first baby teeth in Illinois. Of course the bloody process would often leave hundreds dead and their ghosts would haunt the countryside to this day.

Is There a New Swine Flu?
Has one of the year 2009’s greatest fears become a reality? The Ukrainian Hemorrhagic Flu strain, as it’s being called by panicked reports has shut down cities who are fearing a greater problem may be to blame. In addition, several reports coming out of Des Moines Iowa indicate it may have jumped to the US. The Polk County coroner has said previous estimates on the number of deaths related to H1N1 are inaccurate. Contrary to many reports, however, he has not confirmed if this is a deadlier form of H1N1 that may or may not have come from the Ukraine. Is it time for those who have been stockpiling for years to finally grab their supplies and head to the bomb shelter? Or will this viral rumor turn out to be benign?

Eleven Plus Two = Twelve Plus One: Anagrams Predict the Future
A new trend in prognostication is to take the words of a Year and unravel them into an anagram. Of course the prospect of prediction has been around for quite some time going back to the days of Romulus and Remus, and even prior to that there is evidence of future predictions in the Sumerian tablets left from ancient times. This most recent trend may or may not work, but it certainly has had some strange hits in the past. Of course Anagrams have always been considered delightfully, and coincidentally spot on. For example, the writer of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’s name “Douglas Adams” anagrams to “Loud Mad Sagas” which Mr. Adams clearly wrote.

Argentina Abduction Finally Reported After 40 Years
In the 1970’s the climate of Argentina was one of rebellion and fear. The Dirty War had begun resulting in the disappearance of people nationwide who were killed by guerrillas. By the end of the war over 15,000 would be killed in the bloody war against the guerrillas. The average person lived in fear of being captured by shadowy drug cartels. One abduction story, however, would prove to be quite different. In the city of Buenos Ares a group of friends would be abducted by creatures not of this Earth. Only now after 31 years would this incredible story finally come out.

Not from Mars but from Mercury Theater
“As men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water,” such are the opening words of HG Wells’ masterpiece of alien invasion, “The War of the Worlds.” For years prior to the book Mars had merely been our friendly red neighbor, and mythological symbol of war and might. How fitting that it should become Earth’s greatest adversaries in one of the Earth’s most terrifying pranks on Halloween night of 1938.

Knowing 2012 Armageddon could have Deep Impact on us The Day After Tomorrow
Who doesn’t love to sit in a crowded movie theater packed to the brim and sit through an hour and a half to two hours of good old fashioned wrecking ball madness? With all of this obsession over the end of the world, it raises the question, why do we have such a fascination with our society’s own demise? The answer is simple: Our society contains elements that we don’t approve of on a massive scale. Many desire a simpler way of life with fewer complications such as technology, complicated government, working ten hours a day, and having to fulfill social roles put on them by others. The average person likes to indulge in fantasies of adventure and survival where they are put at the forefront of a massive adventure that ultimately sheds light on what it means to be human.

Werewolves Where Wolves Dare Not Tread
Perhaps the most shocking aspect of werewolf reports is not the fact that the creatures are half-wolf half-human creatures capable of ripping a human to shreds, but rather how close to civilization they are often reported to operate. The werewolf phenomena, or lycanthropy as it is known, has been documented as far back as the sixteenth century, and possibly even earlier than that. Although many factors of the werewolf phenomena are based on pop culture rather than mythology, sightings of the creatures follow the conventions of both.
