Twice now in the past few months we have been struck by stories of a strange rain coming down from the sky in torrents in the UK. The first incident, which happened in December, saw tremendous hails of apples raining down on the highway in Coventry. The second incident, which included a torrent of unidentified globs of gel soon followed in January. And that mystery is on the verge of being solved, according to scientists. But what will they reveal?
When we look up at the horizon on a cloudy day, occasionally we expect to see some rain - and possibly even snow drifting down from the blistery winter skies. But one resident of Dorset UK was perplexed when he went outside and it started raining bizarre gelatinous globs of an unidentified substance all over his garden. This is only the latest in a long string of unexplained precipitations around the globe.
It seems one of the strangest phenomena to come about in 2012 is the presence of massive mysterious sounds that are breaking out across cities and private residences alike with little explanation as to where they could be coming from or what their purpose could be. The sounds themselves range from a single tremendous boom to a constant high pitched drone cracking over the horizon. But what could the cause be of this mysterious activity? And is it possible we're looking at a new phenomenon entirely?
It's like a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's horror classic "The Birds," but for residents of one Kentucky town it's a horror show brought to life as birds descend on their town by the tens of thousands. The birds, which have been discovered moving by the thousands have - for reasons unknown - decided they would make this town their home unexpectedly in such massive numbers that sometimes the larger flocks swarming in the sky even block out the sun.
It's one of the strangest sights locals of one Polish town may ever report to authorities as the sewers bubbled and started weeping massive pools of blood drenching the streets. But was this the manifestation of some doomsday indicator or could there be a logical explanation for something seeming as apocalyptic as this?
You may recall how the year started with a bang in 2011 when thousands of black birds suddenly dropped dead in Beebe, Arkansas as New Year's celebrations commenced. Well it would appear that the odd bird die off has been documented again - with an entirely new and unexplained black bird die off as 2012 comes around. What could cause a repeat on this strange massive bird die off? And does it portend the same sort of events we saw in 2011?
Bizarre almost song-like sounds have been reported just before earthquakes worldwide, giving some the impression that the cause may be unconventional or even part of a conspiracy. To date, several earthquakes have been immediately preceded by a mysterious sound heard and even video taped by nearby witnesses. But what is the cause? Are these rumblings mere coincidence? Or could there be a different and more sinister cause?
In the history of odd and extraordinary precipitations, there has been a considerable amount of study and folklore, but few incidents even in the world of the paranormal are quite like this. In the Coundon Coventry of West Midlands, England it began pouring apples from the heavens Monday in such an incredible and unexpected display that motorists and pedestrians were helpless to do anything but stop and stare at the peculiar spectacle. But was this unusual rain a doomsday sign of the times or something a bit less apocalyptic?
Here's a brainteaser that left some sky-watchers scratching their heads when the moon suddenly and unexpectedly went black during the daytime in an impossible astronomical display. Why is it impossible to see a Lunar Eclipse during a perfectly cloudless day? Conventional wisdom suggests it's because Lunar eclipses happen when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon make a straight line. So what often overlooked law of physics made it possible for witnesses in the Rocky Mountains to see both the Sun and the Lunar Eclipse at the same time?
In classic stories the distant castle containing the horrifying paranormal creatures and ghosts is always sought on a dark and stormy night when the clouds open up and a torrent of rain comes pounding down alongside thunder that shakes the pillars of the heavens threatening to bring everything crashing down in one fell swoop. But is the world of fiction in this respect giving us a symbolic motif, or has it been documented over time to suggest when thunder and lightning starts to tear through the heavens we are more likely to see something out of the ordinary?
Trace amounts of nuclear radiation have been detected in several places throughout Europe, but no one knows precisely where it's coming from. Experts are suggesting it is likely not related to the Fukushima disaster - possibly because wind currents would have to travel across most of the globe before reaching the Czech republic where it was discovered. The IAEA has stated that the levels are not nearly high enough to cause health risks any time soon, but they are curious over where the mystery radiation could be coming from.
When we think of paranormal weather, ordinarily we think of the improbable precipitation, strange sounds, and unexplained seismic activity. But what about when the weather is all of the above? Recently in Oklahoma residents reported that their world has been turned upside down by the weird goings on in the skies and under the ground when in just one short day the world looked like it was coming to an end in a localized area.
If you thought the long string of bird deaths terrorizing headlines was over, it seems the truth had other ideas. This week Myrtle Beach California hotel workers reported 40 deceased birds mysteriously falling out of the sky all at once. And if that's not strange enough, the birds are dropping with no known explanation - just like they did around January.
You may recall the story we recently covered of a shark found several miles from the nearest body of water in the middle of the woods near the East Coast, but this story has an even larger sea creature found dead in a grassy field. Currently experts are wrestling with explanations as to what could have happened - particularly since the whale itself is not a species ordinarily seen in the area - even in the water.
Those familiar with the Russian political arena may have already heard the name Zhirinovsky associated with his outbursts, such as his 2008 threat to use nuclear weapons to flood Great Britain over a trade disagreement. Now in 2011, the official who holds enough popularity to stand up to the rigors of reelection is making a bid for Moscow and the Russian Presidency. And so this might be a good time to make mention of the massive orbital "Tsunami weapon" Zhirinovsky threatened the world with in a newscast that went Viral on Youtube in May. So do they really have it?
For years grid experts have chimed in alongside NASA to warn that the sun could one day disrupt our grid connected power supplies. It would seem that day has already arrived. After a series of massive eruptions from the sun power outages have been reported in Chile, Texas City, New Jersey, and Seattle among others. While the power outages may be a coincidence and caused by a series of failures either planned or otherwise, there is a growing voice of discontent over the vulnerability of plugged in power systems and the possibility that more may be on the way. So does the Sun have a part in all of this?
Michigan is no stranger to mystery. One of the many homes of the legendary creature known as Bigfoot is certainly used to seeing its fair share of the unusual. But recently the mystery deepened when several water formations appeared rising up from the water in columns like pillars. Why are these water spouts - ordinarily a rare occurrence this far North - happening? And is there any precedent to the strange appearance?
We all have heard accounts of perfectly reasonable people suddenly finding themselves amidst perfectly unreasonable events. From the phantom hitchhiker to a visit by a deceased relative these ghost stories are staples of our modern lore. But sometimes you hear a ghost story that seems nothing like the traditional ones of an entity simply visiting a person in a perfectly normal - albeit haunted - room. Sometimes we all hear stories about individuals who seem to lead reasonable or even mundane lives, but who eventually find themselves in the midst of a catastrophic transmutation of reality.
There are some places in this world that seem to defy the known laws of physics. It's as though the entire universe answers to certain laws that hold everything together, and yet occasionally there is an area - such as the Zone of Silence that simply refuses to conform. While it is unknown if the zone is related to any paranormal phenomenon directly, the fact that no explanation exists for its mysterious effects is certainly no comfort to those who find themselves caught in it at the wrong time.
When an orange goo was first discovered off the Alaskan coast it had more than a few local residents scratching their heads in wonder. Shortly afterward samples were taken and analyzed. The first analysis showed they were organic in nature and not man-made. The second analysis gave indications that they may have been eggs. A third analysis now has turned the investigation on its head and tension is starting to build around the mysterious incident as arguments begin over what the substance was.
We've all heard of cases involving spontaneous human combustion. Over the years a number of theories have been proposed suggesting the phenomenon may have its root in some fairly conventional and perfectly understandable natural occurrences - however tragic they may be. But if the casebook is to be closed on spontaneous human combustion, experts have often cited a particularly strange case - that of Debbie Clark in 1985. If all other cases of spontaneous human combustion were to fit a mold that could be explained away, Debbie Clark breaks it. And not only that, she lived to tell the tale.
What started as a simple evening newspaper novelty has spread into a near epidemic as more communities and towns are increasingly reporting a mysterious sound accompanying daily life. The strange sound does not seem to be confined to any single continent or area, and is appearing increasingly in scattered areas throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, and other areas. If there is a natural explanation for the mysterious sonic activity, it seems this time it is unprecedented on a massive scale.
A mysterious burst of sonic energy erupted over Norfolk on the night of August 10th causing some of those startled awake to wonder what could be going on outside. Pets reportedly started howling in response to the sudden mysterious burst while citizens got up and checked outside only to see a clear summer sky with no sign of lightning. Geologists the next morning checked sensors to see if an Earthquake had been responsible, but found no evidence indicating seismic activity. And the RAF has likewise distanced itself from responsibility, saying aircraft from the nearby base were out on an exercise at the time of the event. So what was it, then?
After the massive solar flare that occurred on the 15th of February and March 9th of this year, scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found themselves doing a double take at data streaming in from the SOHO space observatory. And this latest X class flare, which was seven times larger than the last two which each elicited responses of awe and wonder from space-watchers, has caused power and phone companies to make preparations for an event that could hit the 10th or 11th of August if Earth is hit by the glancing blow of a CME.
The idea of discovering out of place animals is nothing new in itself, but after witnesses discovered a shark that had somehow made its way some 50 miles inland from the nearest body of water it may be worth noting that the area has seen an elevated level of UFO activity in the past few weeks. New Hampshire is no stranger to unusual events, but this one just might be the strangest so far. What could have carried a shark 50 miles inland and deposited it in the middle of the New Hampshire Woods?
Over the years there have been several reports of mysterious things raining from the sky ranging from fish to frogs and even blood. But just this week an orange slime reportedly began raining from the sky on a village near Anchorage Alaska, and experts are still scratching their heads over what could have caused it. The mysterious material remains unidentified in labs after being collected after a heavy incident where it covered houses, rain collection barrels, and even people. And perhaps strangest of all is the fact that the substance doesn't look like anything biologists have ever seen. So where did it come from?
The shapes of clouds and other natural phenomena have long been a device for interpretation of future events, the reflection on our past, and even indicated the deeper meaning behind the things connected to them. Images of Jesus and other figures from history and mythology have been appearing in objects, and even the clouds themselves are not an exception. But when a towering face took over the horizon in one man's neighborhood he was speechless. And what's perhaps even more interesting is just how the face materialized - as if it were pushing out from the clouds to look down at the city sprawling out in front of it.
An explanation has been offered as to how these incredible sprawling images can make their way onto landscapes in a matter of minutes - and that explanation is the employment of microwaves in their construction. Rather than depending on the "sticks and string" theory of crop circles, the official story has made its way into the new millennium after years of falling into disrepair. And if the original idea was strange, this one is even more incredible.
During thunderstorms we all instinctively feel the need to go inside to avoid the dangers of being struck by millions of volts of electricity. Lightning strike cases are an extreme strain on the body and the injuries involved can permanently main or even kill those unfortunate enough to suffer from them. But however terrifying they may be, they have always been fairly predictable as they occur primarily during storms. But one girl was struck on a clear sunny day with not a cloud in the sky.
The story of divine apparitions appearing in grilled cheese sandwiches has long been a point of humor among those sharing the anecdotes with others. And while the idea of trees bearing the image of Christ and areas of fog on windows may provide some more credibility than the others, there is at least one case from France in 1907 that said the figure of the Virgin Mary appeared in split hailstones which fell by the thousands on a small village. The case remains unexplained to this day.
It’s a grim prediction to have come true, but just as scientists announced that marine life may be dying at an unprecedented rate due to acidifying oceans, pollution, climate change, and over-fishing, we predicted that we would soon be seeing its effects in another more unfamiliar way with the washing ashore of mysterious creatures we had not yet seen. And now it appears that very thing may have just begun as walkers in the UK discovered a mystery creature that had died and washed ashore.
Stonehenge has always been one of those incredible sites that has inspired people for generations to continue moving forward in their spiritual development. It is seen as a sort of place of pilgrimage for certain practicing druids as well as others like them who are interested in the ancient history of the Celts. And now they are teaming up with UFO watchers and crop circle enthusiasts who are investigating the strange crop circle that appeared just outside the ancient site earlier this month.
When watching the headlines of today and analyzing the different sources of concern in all areas of change - be they political, social, or economical - it seems there is a common theme that we may be coming to the end of something and waiting to see what emerges on the other side. But this is not just a common perception socially, but also in the ways in which world governments are behaving. And so we have to wonder whether this is just a common coincidence or there is some deeply rooted knowledge that such an event will happen in our near future.
A family in Newark, Nottinghamshire found themselves in the midst of a freak electrical storm and reacted how we all usually do. They stayed indoors and waited the passing weather out. But when a sudden lightning bolt ran right through their house and catapulted them into the air, it was a bit hard to stay composed. Luckily no one was hurt. Perhaps the strangest part of this story is the fact that it’s not entirely unique lately. In recent months there have been several stories about people being struck by lightning even while indoors. But what could be causing it?
If one were to write a dictionary of all the terms in the Royal Air Force, and come to the entry for the term “paranormal” the name Goddard would certainly stick out. Sir Rovert Victor Goddard, one of the most recognized names in the RAF history books was no stranger to the strange. Three major incidents that impacted his life eventually became major icons of the paranormal that you may have never heard of.
After three nuclear facilities came into serious risk even after the Fukushima reactor incident, it’s easy to ask why the sudden trend might suggest something big might be on the horizon. Are we looking at a major catastrophe on the horizon? To chart trends, it’s important to understand the outlying factors that might be having an effect on the world around us. Is 2011 just a very unlucky year, or is there another reason for these disasters that have been cropping up all over the world? As we examine the disasters of the past year, it becomes clear that many of them share a common thread.
By now most people who follow Earth Changing theories such as supernovae and the Yellowstone super volcano are aware that a number of events in Earth’s history have contributed to what we would consider “apocalyptic events” if they were to happen in our own time. But few are actually aware of the Toba Catastrophe theory which could come close to bottle-necking human evolution and changing civilization as we know it for decades or even centuries afterward. And now with the Puyehue eruption the theory strikes close to home.
A mysterious video uploaded to Youtube is still not receiving much attention and is leaving more questions than answers almost a year after it was shot. The video shows what appears to be two distinct worm-like forms glowing and floating in the clouds. While we can’t say exactly what they are, a few viewers have compared them to dragons.
In the past year we’ve heard dozens of doomsday prophecies coming from all angles. But one of the most disturbing that seems to coincide almost perfectly with the December 2012 theory is drawn not from theories, but from observations about our solar system. And the conclusions made are based not entirely on speculation, but on history. And if they do occur in the way Alexey Demetriev suggests, it will change the entire planet as we know it and might kickstart a whole new age for the human race. Even NASA has gotten in on the doomsday theory, though many are saying the picture they paint is too conservative. And yet throughout it all the mainstream media has remained eerily silent.
A mysterious hole opening up in the ground in Bernards, New Jersey has several residents looking not at the sky, but beneath their feet. The mystery hole opened up last week during the day and scattered it up to 100 feet around the area. And while the first thought many had while looking at the hole was that it was a crater, still others have quite a different theory. Is it possible the debris field came from something not going down into the ground, but rather up?
Looking over the data of 2011's April weather season it's difficult to imagine that something intensely unusual is going on. With armchair weather experts looking over the same data a few conclusions have been drawn - and some of them are being shared by meteorologists. Not only were 2011's April tornadoes record breaking, the data suggests they were utterly smashed on a scale we didn't think possible before this year. It seems from this data we will not have to wait until 2012 for these major Earth changes to take place. They're already here.
A mysterious sonic rumbling that has been reported from coast to coast over the course of the past year is now hitting Seattle, where witnesses on the ground have been submitting reports suggesting there is something strange going on in the distance above the city's suburbs. Though it sounds very familiar to some, there is still no explanation as to what this sound could be caused by. And as we look deeper into the mystery of distant sonic booms we realize there might be something larger going on than shaking windows and rattled dishes.
We've had an incredible season this year with storms raging from coast to coast knocking over power stations and generally causing trouble wherever the opportunity arose. But is this an extreme snap of the weather or could we one day be seeing this sort of devastation on a regular basis? As the world shifts, we begin hearing disturbing claims made by scientists.
A video gaining quite a bit of popularity in the past week depicts a man getting struck by lightning not once, but twice before getting back up and walking away. But was this incident the result of a severe and anomalous weather pattern? Or was the man who got struck by lightning and subsequently got up the result of something else? The video itself is under as much scrutiny as the incident.
The incredible amount of weather devastation has affected millions and could be affecting even more as April moves into May and just as of last night, Cairo Illinois has been saved by an already controversial last minute breach of a levy that instead flooded farmland in Missouri. But with this painful decision and others still facing the world, has the worst passed? And what could be fueling this devastation that is rocking the west?
The US was in the grips of a tremendously powerful storm today as violent winds swept through several states causing unprecedented damage in some areas. And though the incredible storms raged on, people have already started comparing it to previous years and coming to the conclusion that this is in many ways a first. But it's difficult to look into such levels of unforeseen damage without asking yourself, what's changing in our world?
There are currently 104 commercial nuclear reactors operating within the United States. Another 64 known research units are sprinkled throughout as well. Under normal circumstances nuclear power has been declared safe, and under normal circumstances this appears to be the case. Facilities are designed to withstand a number of disasters both natural and manmade. But in the event of a solar storm - an event that would knock out transportation and infrastructure that NASA is warning might happen sometime around 2012 or 2013, these facilities may face challenges that would have to be solved within hours, or risk becoming the single event to shape a horrific future mankind could exist in.
December 21st 2012 is one of the most cited future dates since the millennium first turned over. But just as many suggested that date was no more spiritually significant than an odometer turning over. But just as we thought the year 2000 may have brought an end to civilization, a new and perhaps even more intense way of looking at the future has started sprouting up. And people are starting to invest.
April is a month that is certainly no stranger to bad weather. The old phrase "April Showers brings may flowers" has reminded generations that though the weather of April may be tough, it will always return to normal once the season change is complete. But a recent swarm of tornadoes across the Midwest followed by other unexplained weather phenomena has some wondering if this old adage is insufficient to cause the level of devastation seen this year. And some are suggesting it could be due to increased activity in the sun.
What fell from the sky on April 12, 2011 was certainly not a meteor. And yet if fell from the sky and smashed into a family's home causing an estimated $20,000 in damages. The rock, which left a massive hole in the roof of the small family's home and likely left them watching the skies a bit more, could have killed someone if they had been in the wrong place at the wrong time, but luckily they were not home when it dropped in for a visit. So the question on everyone's mind now is, where did it come from?
