Paranormal News

In July of 2019, a truly bizarre series of events unfolded around California’s Channel Islands. Over a number of days, groups of unidentified aircraft, which the U.S. Navy simply refers to as ‘drones’ or ‘UAVs,’ pursued that service’s vessels, prompting a high-level investigation.  During the evening encounters, as many as six aircraft were reported swarming

On March 8 of this year I wrote an article here at Mysterious Universe titled “All About Those Flaming UFOs! Literally Flaming!” The article was focused on why I concluded that aliens from faraway worlds would never soar around our skies by using something so primitive (for them) as chemical-rocketry. It’s this particular issue that

In an interview with Fox News, recent former Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, confirmed the U.S. Government is aware of “a lot more” sightings of “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,” or “UAP,” than has so far been made public. “There are a lot more sightings than have been made public,” Ratcliffe told Fox News host Maria

By Tim Binnall Authorities in Oregon are investigating yet another series of mysterious cattle mutilations that have been plaguing the state for the last few years in what might best be described as a slowly unfolding flap. The latest development came to light earlier this month when the Crook County Sheriff’s Office issued a press

By Tim Binnall An odd survey asking which celebrity would be the ideal person to handle an alien invasion found iconic actor Arnold Schwarzenegger taking the top spot. The weird poll, reportedly conducted by the British TV station Blaze as part of their forthcoming ‘UFO week,’ asked 2,000 residents of the country which star they

This story is an excerpt from the book Gory Details: Adventures From the Dark Side of Science by Erika Engelhaupt. On August 20, 2007, a 12-year-old girl spotted a lone blue-and-white running shoe—a men’s size 12—on a beach of British Columbia’s Jedediah Island. She looked inside, and found a sock. She looked inside the sock,

FROM 3,500 FEET, the clear August afternoon offered an exceptional view of New York’s Catskill Mountains. The light breeze over Greene County had been ideal for an afternoon flight, and one private pilot operating a small sailplane over East Windham had decided to take full advantage of it.   Accompanied by a passenger friend (his first

I was raised in a scientific household, where things that couldn’t be seen, heard or felt were never discussed. Our world was the physical world, and the idea that there was anything else never came up. When you died, that was the end. That was the world I knew and felt comfortable with. I felt

Late last week, a curious alert appeared in the Federal Aviation Administration’s database of Notices to Airman, or NOTAMs, which, among other things, alerts aviators to chunks of airspace that are temporarily off-limits. The details strongly point to the comings or goings of a high-flying aircraft between either Area 51, also known as Groom Lake,

  For some time now, U.S. physicist Jack Sarfatti has been speaking out about his thoughts on the 2004 USS Nimitz encounters, with what has come to be known as the “Tic Tac” UAP. In short Sarfatti postulates that there is:  ”…evidence of extremely low power warp drive with time-travel-to-past capability in a meta-material fuselage

Over the past few months I submitted a couple of FOIA requests to the Naval Safety Center (NAVSAFECEN) about events such as airspace incursions and reports of unauthorized/unidentified aircraft. In January 2021 I filed a new request seeking e.mails between the NAVSAFECEN and the Office of the Secretary of Defense regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. What I discovered in

Quirks of the human mind and how we process information might explain the uncanny appearances of thylacines. The Tasmanian tiger is still extinct. Reports of its enduring survival are greatly exaggerated. Known officially to science as a thylacine, the large marsupial predators, which looked more like wild dogs than tigers and ranged across Tasmania and

Harry Brower Sr. was lying in a hospital bed in Anchorage, Alaska, close to death, when he was visited by a baby whale. Although Brower’s body remained in Anchorage, the young bowhead

For decades, “alien abductees” have reported what appears to be hard evidence of clandestine surveillance by military personnel. Black and unmarked helicopters are often seen flying over the homes of abductees. Mail is intercepted, opened, and then resealed – in a fashion that is clearly done for effect, for purposes of intimidation, and, in a

If you are perplexed, befuddled and bewildered about reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and possible visitations of alien spacecraft, you can take action with do-it-yourself sky-monitoring gear. Given the low cost and high capability of today’s consumer-grade technology, you too can be at the ready to document out-of-the-ordinary events. Enter the world of Sky

With their place firmly at the transition of life to death to afterlife, it should come as no surprise that there are a number of haunted funeral homes. Yet, these facilities and their ghosts don’t get much paranormal attention – perhaps because the former vessels of the spirits spend such a short time in them.

Margaretha Hönin had a bad reputation. Even though she lived in the late 16th century, we know that her neighbours, the people of Coburg in Thuringia, despised her for being a parvenu and a money-grabbing miser. Hönin was also said to be a witch who met regularly with a dragon. For her neighbours, her economic

There are only so many polite words that come to mind when one spots a ship apparently hovering above the ocean during a stroll along the English coastline. David Morris, who captured the extraordinary sight on camera, declared himself “stunned” when he noticed a giant tanker floating above the water as he looked out to

Not everyone pays the most attention to AM radio. To some, talk is talk and fuzzy signals are exactly that. Still, it’d be odd if the same broadcast looped continuously for eight years without anyone noticing—but it’s not impossible. As it turns out, that very scenario took place up until this week in Washington D.C.

It was recently revealed that in 2017 Microsoft patented a chatbot which, if built, would digitally resurrect the dead. Using AI and machine learning, the proposed chatbot would bring our digital persona back to life for our family and friends to talk to. When pressed on the technology, Microsoft representatives admitted that the chatbot was

By Tim Binnall A family in Zimbabwe say that their lives have been torn asunder by a mysterious invisible force that keeps pelting their home with stones. According to a local media report, the bizarre case is unfolding in the town of Gwanda, where Portia Zhou’s residence has become the target of an unseen menace.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A family in Arlington caught what appeared to be some extraterrestrial activity on their doorbell camera when they were out of town over the weekend. “Does anybody recognize this person who stole a package from my door while we were away?” a post on Facebook read. The family said they can’t help

Skara Brae, now considered Europe’s finest and most well-preserved ruins of a Neolithic settlement, had remained hidden for four millennia beneath the earth of Scotland’s Orkney Islands, before it was re-discovered after being partially revealed by a winter storm in 1850. During the sites’s excavation, thousands of manmade objects were uncovered, but none more mysterious

A television network in Brazil is riding high on the attention it is receiving over what appeared to be a UFO flying over Sao Paulo that was not only broadcast during a network news program but seemed to have rattled the presenter who also saw it and referred to the object as “flying saucer.” The

You’ve seen lichens before, but unlike Spribille, you may have ignored them. They grow on logs, cling to bark, smother stones. At first glance, they look messy and undeserving of attention. On closer inspection, they are astonishingly beautiful. They can look like flecks of peeling paint, or coralline branches, or dustings of powder, or lettuce-like

Motherboard explores UFOs, UFO culture, and the paranormal. Symbols carry an undeniable power—whether it’s the Ankh, the crucifix, or the golden arches of McDonald’s.  For thousands of years, runes, glyphs, and icons have been used in occult rituals and spiritual practices to mess with reality. Today, drawings imbued with the desires of their creators—called sigils—are

Less than 48 hours after our initial reporting on an outright strange incident involving American Airlines Flight 2292 as it flew at 36,000 feet over the northeastern corner of New Mexico on February 21st, 2021, we have confirmation that the event in question did indeed occur and that it is being investigated by the FBI.

A Tasmanian tiger expert has dismissed claims the extinct thylacine has been re-discovered in Tasmania’s north-east. “When I was checking the SD cards, I found some photos that were pretty damn good,” Mr Waters said. In a video posted online by Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia, president Neil Waters said he had captured new photos
