A series of orange-yellow, glowing lights wafting silently over the Tri-Cities area Saturday night left some people wondering what they'd seen. Not to worry. It turns out the unidentified flying objects' origins were marital, not Martian.

We might all have doppelgangers...in another universe say quantum scientists
An identical copy of you is also reading this story. This twin is the same in every way, living on an Earth and in a universe that looks exactly like our own. And there may be an infinite number of them. Such doppelgängers could be a natural consequence of our present conception of the universe. Now, some physicists say they could pose a serious problem for quantum mechanics. But a possible fix may also be in sight, and it could help tie abstract quantum concepts to concrete physical causes.

Google Earth satellite captures image of a crop circle AND a UFO!
Google Earth has compiled a photo gallery of mysterious images taken by satellite above our planet. The bird's-eye photos include an "unidentified flying object" that appears to hover over a field, crop circles, concentric shapes etched into the earth, strange patterns, and advertising that can only be seen from the air.

A grandfather's ghost story leads to grisly 178-year Pennsylvania murder case involving 57 dead Irishmen
"This is a mass grave," Bill Watson said as he led the way through the thick Pennsylvania woods in a suburb about 30 miles from Philadelphia. "Duffy's Cut," as it's now called, is a short walk from a suburban cul-de-sac in Malvern, an affluent town off the fabled Main Line. Twin brothers Bill and Frank Watson believe 57 Irish immigrants met violent deaths there after a cholera epidemic struck in 1832. They suspect foul play. "This is a murder mystery from 178 years ago, and it's finally coming to the light of day," Frank Watson said.
The brothers first heard about Duffy's Cut from their grandfather, a railroad worker, who told the ghost story to his family every Thanksgiving. According to local legend, memorialized in a file kept by the Pennsylvania Railroad, a man walking home from a tavern reported seeing blue and green ghosts dancing in the mist on a warm September night in 1909.

French priest prays for President Sarkozy to have a heart attack because of his attack on the Roma people throughout France
Several churchmen yesterday joined a chorus of criticism of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s decision to expel dozens of Roma from France, with one priest praying for him to be divinely struck by a heart attack. Fr Arthur Hervet of the church of St Martin Esquermes of Lille in northern France said he was turning to God because he did not believe those in power had any plans to help the Roma, except deport them.

Psychic Uri Geller believes his Scottish land hides buried Egyptian treasure...but his neighbors don't
When Uri Geller saw a rocky lump off Scotland's eastern coast was for sale a couple of years ago, the famed spoon-bender says he knew he had to have it. "I didn't know why. I was somehow drawn to it," Mr. Geller recalls. He put in a successful £30,000, or about $46,000, offer. Today, the 63-year-old paranormalist says he now understands why he bought the uninhabited, 100 yard-by-50 yard Lamb Island. Buried inside, he says, is an Egyptian treasure including relics supposedly brought there by a pharaoh's daughter some 3,500 years ago.

Retired FBI agent Don Adams says JFK was NOT assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald and the FBI has the documents to prove it!
A retired FBI Agent from Summit County is making claims regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy that go beyond conspiracy theories. Don Adams speaks clearly and concisely when describing the events of November 22, 1963, the day President Kennedy was killed, and he doesn't waiver from his position that Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill President John F. Kennedy in Dallas. "It is a fact," says Adams, and he says he has the FBI documents to prove it. At his home in Akron, Ohio, Adams is surrounded by thousands of reports and records from the National Archives and Records Administration. His name appears on many of the papers, but he says other reports have been doctored, or are missing, "Everything I had done is gone. It's all gone," Adams said.

New book by UFO researcher reveals that Elvis Presley was obsessed with UFO's
Elvis may be the undisputed King of rock 'n' roll, but did you know he was also supposedly the King of UFO sightings? Turns out, the hip-swiveling pioneer of rock may have been the first official rock star to truly embrace UFOs due to his reportedly deep-rooted, lifelong connection to flying saucers. Now, there's no need to get "All Shook Up." Elvis' so-called "alien connection" is all solely the notion of Michael C. Luckman, a New York-based UFO researcher and author of "Alien Rock: The Rock 'N' Roll Extraterrestrial Connection" (Simon & Schuster), a book about famous musicians who claim they've had alien encounters.

Virginia family of psychics accused of scamming millions from clients
Celia Marks began reading palms and tarot cards in Hampton Roads more than 50 years ago. She handed down the centuries-old tradition to her children and grandchildren, who opened their own shops throughout the region and across the country. The family has a colorful history. During a feud 80 years ago, one relative bit off a chunk of another's nose. Five years ago, three Markses were convicted of stealing from clients. Now, the family faces what could be its most serious challenge yet: Two of Celia's sons were charged in a federal indictment for allegedly stealing millions from life insurance companies, and authorities are looking for two other family members. In all, six people were charged.

After British government reveals UFO files concerning North Yorkshire, two new UFO's are spotted near Pickering
THIS strange unidentified flying object was spotted over a North Yorkshire town on two consecutive nights – only after Government files revealed numerous accounts of UFO sightings in the county. Colin Coulson took the photographs of the objects, which he spotted over Pickering on Saturday night and again on Sunday night.

Cryptoid remains of Argentinian Ucumar Zupai really that of a monkey!
Police officers from Metán, led by Deputy Chief Regino Monteros of Regional Unit 3, and consisting of criminalists from the force, firefighters and local infantrymen, brought back the remains of the strange mammal shot down by a rancher living in the heights of Cerro El Crestón, reviving the old legend of the Ucumar, a sort of "yeti" from the Salta Region. The elements were guided by two sisters, Marian and Claudia Miranda, backwoodswomen, and walked seven hours to reach the site and five hours back, just to bring down the head and hairy carcass of this hitherto unknown specimen in the area. All appears to indicate that it is a monkey, but it shall be necessary to investigate what kind, and if it is indeed an ape.

Research at the University of Toronto reveals that thinking about god among believers reduces stress
Thinking about God reduce distress, but only in believers, while atheists are more distressed after thinking of God-related ideas, Canadian researchers say. Researchers at the University of Toronto Scarborough looked at brain activity in people primed to think about God and found decreases in activity in the anterior cingulate cortex -- an area of the brain associated with regulating bodily states of arousal when things were going wrong -- such as making mistakes. However, atheists were more distressed making mistakes after thinking of God-related ideas.

Ranchers in Argentina capture unidentified creature, believing it to be the legendary humanoid Ucumar Zupai
The legend of the Ucumar Zupai is reborn in a wilderness near El Creston, some 40 kilometers west of San Jose de Metan. Farm owner and nephew had gone out to round up the cows when the strange specimen appeared. Two ranchers in the vicinity of Cerro El Creston, some 40 kilometers west of San Jose de Metan, hunted down a strange creature of humanoid appearance, but with unusually large and sharp incisors. The similarity between this specimen and local tales of the mythic “Ucumar” – the manlike figure covered in short black hair – has renewed the debate in Salta over the existence of the local “yeti”.

Hong Kong voodoo master, known as 'Dog Man' gets twenty-one months behind bars for conning girl into ritual sex
A Hong Kong self-proclaimed voodoo master dubbed the "Dog Man", who engaged in ritual sex with a gullible 20-year-old student, has failed to work his magic on a judge and will spend the next 21 months behind bars. Acoustics technician Lo Fuk-yee, 64, was arrested last October on two counts of "obtaining unlawful sexual intercourse under false pretenses" after he persuaded his unnamed victim that sex was the only way to expel "ghost embryos" from her body.

Winston Churchill (and Dwight Eisenhower) covered up early UFO sighting in war-time Britain to avoid public 'mass panic'
Ministers even went on to commission weekly reports on UFO sightings from a committee of intelligence experts. The papers also include a wartime account claiming prime minister Winston Churchill ordered a UFO sighting be kept secret to prevent "mass panic". The files show reports of UFOs peaked in 1996 - when The X Files was popular.

...so, the British government finally releases files on suspected UFO crash in the Berwyn Mountains, dating back to 1974, dubbed the 'Welsh Roswell'
Geraint Edwards and Elgar Hughes of the Ceirog Valley, Denbighshire, recall seeing a UFO in the sky over north east Wales in 1974. A 1974 "UFO incident" which was dubbed the Welsh Roswell was dismissed as an earthquake and a meteor combining, offical files show. There was a huge bang and a brilliant light over the Berwyn Mountains in north east Wales, and there were later claims a spaceship crash was concealed. Comparisons were drawn with Roswell, New Mexico, USA, in 1947, where it is claimed an alien crash was concealed. But a Ministry of Defence (MoD) investigation said there was no UFO

Broken-down, shack and former cottage atop a hill near Cefalu, Sicily, sells for over $1.2 million dollars...because it was the former 'Abbey of Thelema', owned by occultist Aleister Crowley
The dilapidated, whitewashed Italian villa, set amid the hills of Sicily, was owned in the 1920s by Aleister Crowley, whose outrageous drug-taking, keen sexual appetite and interest in mysticism later made him a cult figure for the Beatles, David Bowie, Ozzie Osbourne and Iron Maiden. The cottage, near the town of Cefalu in Sicily, contains explicit, erotic frescoes of men and women entwined together, painted by Cambridge-educated Crowley when he lived there in the early 1920s.

Do ancient bones found in Bulgaria provide physical proof of the existence of St. John the Baptist?
Archaeologists in Bulgaria claimed to have located a sarcophagus containing the bones of John the Baptist, drawing enthusiasm from politicians but doubts from some experts. An ancient alabaster reliquary, a box for relics, was found embedded in an altar at the ruins of a fifth-century monastery on the tiny Black Sea island of Sveti Ivan. On Sunday, the excavation's leader, Kazimir Popkonstantinov, carefully pried open the miniature casket at a ceremony attended by local government figures and an Eastern Orthodox bishop in the nearby coastal town of Sozopol.

According to Queendom.com, 41% of people polled believe the Bermuda Triangle is real
41% of people believe that the Bermuda Triangle is a danger, according to tests done on Queendom.com. The company says the results come from collecting data from “over 20,000 people from all walks of life.” The Bermuda Triangle seems to be intricately linked with Bermuda for many people. Countless Bermudians when traveling abroad have said they are from Bermuda and faced the “Oh…the Bermuda triangle” response.

Big Cat spotted by startled British jogger near Henley-on-Thames
A jogger was startled by what he thought was a big cat near Henley. Andrew Cleary, 45, was running between his home in Mill End and Dairy Lane when a large cat-like animal ran across his path. He said: “Just a couple of feet in front of me this black animal went streaking across. “It was much too big to be a house cat. It was about the size of a Labrador but it didn’t move anything like a dog. It moved like a cat and I could see its long tail as it disappeared into the bushes.” Mr Cleary’s sighting brings the number in the past 12 years to 14 but he wasn’t aware of the previous ones because he only recently returned from four years in Columbia working as a teacher.

Lohan is out of the slammer...and straight to the Church of Scientology?
Lindsey Lohan is set to join Scientology — according to a new report. Author Ian Halperin says on his website that Lohan — who was recently released from prison and is heading to rehab — will be the controversial religion’s newest celebrity member. Scientology — as I’m sure we’re all aware — counts Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and John Travolta as some of its most high-profile followers. “Lindsay is ready to join Scientology once she gets out of jail,” a source said.

UFO captured on camera of airplane passenger flying over Brazil
An astonishing UFO event has taken place in the skies above Brazil. Photographs have come to light of a UFO that monitored a plane and terrified travellers. The incident was first reported by the popular UFO website www.ufocasebook.com. The man who took the photos as the plane flew over Rio de Janiero (three in total and two of which can be viewed above and below) was a passenger on the airplane who was on vacation. Several other passengers saw the object in question, which was described by witnesses as an egg-shaped ball of light. Some passengers screamed in fear as they felt the plane was too close to the UFO, and there was the possibility of a collision between the two craft. According to statements of passengers, the UFO maneuvered among the clouds, but continued to monitor the aircraft for about two minutes . The camera used to capture the UFO was a Nokia 3120 Classic. This publication has extensively reported on small orbs sent by an alien civilization located in Andromeda to monitor Earth and has received information that these orbs enter Earth above Brazil through a star-gate. The orbs are "unmanned" and travel across galaxies at speeds well beyond that of light. Government scientists studying UFOs make frequent trips to Brazil and will certainly be studying this case.
