Rancher William Brazel found a bunch of debris in the desert that he couldn't identify. He described it in the July 9, 1947, issue of the Roswell Daily Record as a "large area of bright wreckage made up of rubber strips, tinfoil, a rather tough paper and sticks."
The paper reported that Brazel estimated that all together the ...

Giant images of people, animals, plants, and geometric shapes scratched onto the surface of the Peruvian desert by three different cultures from 500 BC to 500 AD, they've made generations of researchers scratch their heads over their purpose and meaning.
Now it turns out these unique figures aren't so unique after all. ...

Walk through the deep forest of Harads, a town of approximately 600 residents not far from Sweden's border with Finland, and you'll see it: a retro-looking UFO suspended in the trees and accessible via a retractable staircase. This is the UFO, one of five, stand-alone treehouse rooms that are part of the Treehotel.
Winner of Sweden's 2011 Grand Tourism Prize, a distinction previously held by ...

Mar 11th, 2011 at 12:00PM: I've said it before; the office view from the pointy-end of an airliner is something that can only be matched by an astronaut's view.
But that's not to say we don't get to see a few celestial sights of our own. No, I'm not going to touch on the rumored UFO sightings by pilots, although I promise I'll keep my camera ready, just in case. I'm talking about the stunning sights, both man-made and ...

The phenomenon lasted for about 12 minutes.

Dec 5th, 2009 at 3:00PM: The visitors traveling the longest distances to Britain will find the phones shut off. Citing the high costs of operation, the British military has shut down its UFO hotline. So, not only will aliens not be welcomed personally, the messages reported via their crop circles will go unreported. This is the end of a half-century commitment in the United Kingdom to helping the nutty find an ...

Jun 5th, 2009 at 12:30PM: Remember crop circles, those strange shapes that started appearing in the Nineties in fields all across England?

"It was like a lit up hockey puck, only large enough to carry maybe two guys. There were two rows of blue ...
