UFO Captured On Cell Phone
Is it a UFO? Can't say for sure. But truck driver Sean Kiel said he photographed an unidentified flying object with his cellphone as he drove
along Interstate 20 near Cisco on Jan. 8. Cisco is about 45 miles northwest of Stephenville, KY., where dozens of people have reported seeing UFOs.
"It looked like a meteor entering the atmosphere," said Kiel, who was driving from Louisville, Ky., to Brady. "It looked like a fireball. It had a long tail and it was extremely bright. And then the light seemed to
dissipate and there was a dark object, right when the sun was going down.
"It was more like a big cigar with lights all over it that changed colors," he said. "It was at least 300 yards wide. It was being escorted by some type of slow-moving military craft, maybe helicopters." Read

The Haunting
By WES "THE SPECTER" SMALLING
Star-Tribune staff writer Monday, October 15, 2007
SHERIDAN -- A pocket of cold air hits you, standing up the hairs on the back of your neck. Doors lock on their own. A light shines in the window of a room that has no electricity. The smell of a lady's
perfume mysteriously appears and disappears in certain hallways.
Encounters with the ghost of "Miss Kate" at the Sheridan Inn are too many to count. Some say she's still keeping watch over the historic hotel that was her beloved home for 64 years.
Della Herbst is a board member of the Sheridan Heritage Center, which is restoring the old hotel. Since she became involved with the Inn's restoration in 1990, she's had plenty of run-ins with the spirit of
Catherine B. Arnold, affectionately called Miss Kate by those who have come to know her. Herbst said she definitely feels Miss Kate's presence at the hotel. Full Story

Giant Scorpion of the Sea Discovered
By: Chee Chee Leung
The discovery of a giant claw from an ancient sea scorpion suggests creepy crawlies such as spiders could have been much larger than previously thought.
The prehistoric pincer, found in a quarry in Germany, was 46 centimetres long, which means the creature it came from probably stretched to 2.5 metres.
That is almost half a metre longer than previous estimates for this sea beast, making it the largest arthropod that ever lived.
"This is an amazing discovery," said researcher Dr Simon Braddy, of the University of Bristol's department of earth sciences. "We have known for some time that the
fossil record yields monster millipedes, super-sized scorpions, colossal cockroaches and jumbo dragonflies, but we never realised until now just how big some of these
ancient creepy crawlies were."
The 390-million-year-old claw comes from a species of sea scorpion known as Jaekelopterus rhenaniae that lived between 460 and 255 million years ago. Arthropods,
like this ancient monster, are characterised by segmented bodies, jointed limbs and a hard external skeleton, and include insects and crabs.
These sea scorpions are thought to be the aquatic "sisters" of scorpions, and possibly all arachnids, including spiders. Full Story

Dozens Claim They Spotted UFO in Texas
Faster than a speeding bullet — and bigger than a Wal-Mart. That's how residents near the west Texas town of Stephenville described an object they spotted in the sky one night last week. Dozens of
people — including a pilot and a police officer — said a UFO hovered over the farming community for about five minutes last Tuesday before streaking away into the night sky.
Pilot Steve Allen saw the object when he was out clearing brush off a hilltop near the town of Selden. Allen described the unidentified object as being an enormous aircraft with flashing strobe lights — and
it was totally silent.
He said the UFO sped away at more than 3,000 mph, followed by two fighter jets that were hopelessly outmaneuvered. Allen said it took the aircraftjust a few seconds to cross a section of sky that it takes
him 20 minutes to fly in his Cessna. The veteran pilot said the UFO, an estimated half-mile wide and a mile long, was "bigger than a Wal-Mart."
Military Dismisses Sighting - The Stephenville Empire-Tribune, which has written about the mysterious object, said about 40 people saw the thing — though some were too sheepish to admit the sighting
until others came forward. full story
