The Truth Is Out There
An eerie piece of footage from a baby monitor in England appears to show a ghostly arm reaching into a crib. The spooky scene was reportedly captured last Tuesday at the home of William Grave in the community of Sheffield. "This was the first night the baby monitor had been set up," he recalled, "as it was the first time my little one spent a night in his room alone." Upon checking the recording the following morning to ensure that his nine-month-old son Xander had gotten a good night's rest, the dutiful dad was stunned to see something rather unusual had seemingly visited the boy while he slept. "I saw an arm reaching into the cot," Graves marveled, "and it looked like it was going in to pick his dummy up."
What made the moment particularly intriguing is that it occurred shortly before 7 AM, while he and his wife did not enter the room until around 90 minutes later when the tot woke up for the day. "I must have annoyed my wife all day as I kept saying to her 'it must have been you,'" he said, however, that explanation was quickly dispelled when she noted that the ghostly arm was not wearing her Pandora bracelet. Noting that his mother passed away around the same time Xander was born, Graves mused that "it would be lovely to think it was my mum but I don't know who it is. I just know it is not me or my wife."
A remarkable air traffic control recording from Canada features multiple bewildered pilots reporting mysterious lights that would occasionally come together to form a triangle. The very strange case reportedly occurred on January 19th and unfolded over the course of several hours. The strangeness started when a pilot flying north of Winnipeg contacted ATC to ask if there was "any active military airspace" in the area and, upon being told there was not, she indicated that there were "lots of active bright lights in formation." As the controllers attempt to get to the bottom of the peculiar sighting, they soon hear from more witnesses seeing the weird lights from other aircraft.
"They're moving side-to-side and then going away from each other and then forming triangles," another pilot reported, while a third observer told a controller that "it's quite bizarre. There's around six of them just randomly in formation flying at a high altitude." A fourth witness subsequently chimed in with his account of the odd lights, musing that they were "definitely not satellites" and marveling that "it's unlike anything I've ever seen in the 15 years of night flying that I've done." Amazingly, another two pilots joined the conversation and revealed that they had previously seen similar illuminations in the past. "I haven't seen them tonight," one of the witnesses said, "but we've been seeing those lights for probably the last 18 months or so."
Visitors to Orange County beaches this week reported spotting the glowing blue waves in multiple locations during nighttime hours, and charter boat services have been offering special after dark tours of the illuminated waters.
The phenomenon is caused by an algae known as lingulodinium polydra, which is known for its bioluminescence, or natural glowing, when it reacts to being moved by the water.
The glowing waves correspond with the red tide, an algae bloom that can cause the waters to appear red, brown or orange during the day due to the presence of the algae.
"It's the same type of organism when you have a red tide, which gives the water kind of an orangish brown, red kind of tint when they are in high density during the day," Nate Jaros, senior director of fish and invertebrates at the Aquarium of the Pacific told KTLA-TV. "But at night when disturbed, they produce bioluminescence. So, when there's a lot of agitation in the surf, it can activate that bioluminescence which makes the waves appear to be glowing."
The mystery surrounding a curious note found in a Pennsylvania man's cereal has expanded exponentially over the past few weeks as dozens of people say that they have also discovered unsettling missives inside the packaging of various products. The truly odd phenomenon first came to light back in late December when Sugarloaf Township resident Joe Miller opened a sealed box of Lucky Charms and spotted a small piece of paper amid the cereal. The unexpected note was said to contain "a mash-up of words and references to current events and conspiracy theories." When word of the weird incident reached the public, the proverbial floodgates opened and a subsequent series of investigations determined that there is a much bigger mystery unfolding in the area.
According to the Pennsylvania TV station that first shared Miller's story, in the days that followed their report, they received a staggering "100 emails, phone calls, and private messages from viewers recalling finding a variety of similar notes in a myriad of different food and cosmetics products at almost a half dozen Pennsylvania retailers." As if the situation were not strange enough, they learned of instances wherein cryptic messages, seemingly from the same source, were discovered in a state park. "Who would take the time to take a little wire and wrap it around a tree, and put this note on a paper clip," wondered the woman who stumbled upon the missive, "it’s just scary."
Although the specific contents of the initial Lucky Charms missive that kicked off the mystery had been kept secret by the station, they as well as one local police department have since released some of the messages to illustrate their strangeness to the public. As originally described, the notes feature an indecipherable array of words and names that, one local computer expert suggested, appear to comprise some kind of code. "There's a cipher within there," Spencer Rappaport mused, "it's a piece of the puzzle." However, the haphazard distribution of the notes leaves one wondering if it is even possible to complete the message that is trying to be sent.
Setting aside the mystery surrounding what the notes mean, authorities are understandably far more concerned with how someone is slipping the pieces of paper into the packaging of various products. "What breach has occurred between the manufacturing place and the point of sale," one local police chief wondered about the puzzling phenomenon, "that they were able to get into a manufacturer's box without being detected still being sealed." With concern over the notes now bordering on hysteria, area authorities as well as the FBI are eager to get to the bottom of the mystery to bring calm to the public and put an end to the unnerving phenomenon.
