Pyramid Shaped UFO Over Minot AFB, ND
Minot AFB, ND - 4/2010: I was stationed at Minot Air Force Base in Minot, North Dakota. While on post one night, about 2300 hours, a sentry noticed something strange in the sky while scanning with his thermal imager. The sentry called myself and my partner over to look and confirm what he was seeing. He described what appeared to be a star moving in the sky high above base. To the naked eye, nothing appeared out of the ordinary. To me this ruled out a satellite because they can be seen without any kind of equipment. The moment I looked through the thermal imager I could make out what did indeed appear to be a star or satellite, however, it was moving all around the sky. Not fast, but slow. Just a solid, white light. I looked again with my own eyes and could not spot it, but with the thermal imager it was very prominent. I watched it for several seconds when to my amazement, it split into two objects. But that wasn't it, soon one of them split again! One object had turned into four objects in a couple minutes time. I had no possible idea what they could be as they were obviously not falling stars or anything of that nature. The four objects moved all around the sky above us, not fast but slow. They were high up and appeared as small, white spots of light. Not being able to see them with the naked eye, but to see them so prominently with the thermal imager, told us they were giving off a great amount of heat. While we were watching the objects I caught movement low on the horizon. I looked down and saw two more flying low across the flight line, moving west to east. They appeared large, and with the thermal imager they were giving off an intense amount of heat. They went out of sight so my partner and I jumped in the vehicle and headed towards the flight line to see if we could get a better look. We got into a better position, got out and started scanning. Before long, we noticed one of the spots of light moving back our way. Coming from the east right towards us. I was watching with one eye in the thermal imager and my other eye open to the sky. As the object moved closer, it got brighter and brighter in the thermal imager. It had to be giving off an incredible amount of heat. As I followed it, it came into the glow of the lights from base. My partner and I could not believe our eyes. It was within about 100 yards, moving smoothly and silently from east to west. It was a large, pyramid shaped craft. The base was towards the ground with the point straight up to the sky. Right off I figured it was roughly two stories high. Each side was maybe 25-30 feet across. It did not spin, it moved perfectly level, not quite over the top of us. It had no features of any kind. I could not make out doors, windows, or lights. I could not see any seams or rivets of any kind. It was completely smooth and featureless. I could not tell what color it was, but the lights from base glow orange and the craft appeared a dull brown, leading me to believe the craft may have been gray in color, or possibly somewhat reflective. What amazed me most was it was absolutely silent. Being as close as it was, we should have heard any kind of engine noise. There wasn't even a rush of air as it moved. It was so smooth and impossibly quiet. We felt no vibrations or anything else as it went by. It made no sudden maneuvers of any kind. It moved off to the west in a straight line and disappeared. We continued to watch objects high in the sky until midnight, 2400. Just as suddenly as they appeared, they disappeared. We watched the rest of the night and saw nothing. We did not lose track of any time. I kept track as we watched. My partner and I were bewildered. I had seen a UFO once when I was younger. It had been quick and shocking, and I had always wished to see one again. I was so excited and yet quite puzzled as to what I saw. My partner was pretty shaken up. The next night, while I was on post, I was watching the sky intently when I noticed an airplane high above base. Judging from the positioning of the blinking lights, it was rather large. It circled high above base for quite some time before moving off and disappearing. Even for an Air Force Base, this did not appear normal to me. For several nights after, we kept our eyes open to the sky but never saw anything else. I had kept a detailed log with descriptions and drawings, but unfortunately it was lost when Minot flooded in 2011. I constantly replay the event in my mind and can see the UFO plain as day. I will never forget it. - MUFON CMS

'Dead' pregnant teen wakes up screaming inside coffin
When a family heard 16-year-old Neysi Perez moving inside the coffin they had placed her in upon what they thought was her death, they smashed their way into the tomb to break open the wooden casket.
Shocking footage shows the family breaking through the concrete tomb using a sledgehammer before pulling Perez out of the coffin and attempting to revive her. The relatives claimed that the tips of Perez's fingers were bruised and that the viewing window on her coffin had been smashed.
Despite efforts to revive the young woman, the family found no signs of life and later returned her to the cemetery to be reburied. Perez was three months pregnant when she collapsed outside her home in La Entrada, Western Honduras.
It was believed that the young woman had a severe panic attack after hearing gunfire near her home. The teenager's religious parents believed that their daughter had become possessed by an evil spirit when she started foaming at the mouth after collapsing.
Therefore, the parents called a priest who tried to exorcise the young woman. She eventually became lifeless and was declared dead three hours later at the hospital. She was buried in the wedding dress she wore to get married. - 'Dead' pregnant teen wakes up screaming inside coffin

Record-breaking alligator pulled from Lake Eufaula, Alabama weighs in at 920 pound
The huge alligator recently caught in Lake Eufaula in Alabama weighed in at a whopping 920 pounds.
It took six men to pull in and secure the 13-foot 6-inch alligator, according to AL.com.
The reptile was caught by friends Scott Evans, Jeff and Justin Gregg on August 14. The gator was weighed at Dixon Lumber Co., AL.com reports.
The gator, which should produce about 250 pounds of meat, "won't go to waste," Evans told AL.com. He is planning a Labor Day cookout.
"It was surreal, " Evans said. "We weren't expecting anything that big."
Apparently, the alligator got out of the first hook. Evans and his friends continued to follow it about another 75 yards and hooked it for the second time, the news organization reports.
Last year, a 15-foot, 9-inch gator weighing 1,011.5 pounds was caught in Meek Creek, a tributary of the Alabama River. About 115 pounds of that gator was a deer in the gator’s stomach, the AP reports.

Possible Stargate?
Mangilao, Guam: It was around 7pm December 20, 2014. I was on my roof hanging Christmas lights. I am always looking at the stars.that night I noticed 2 blinking lights very far apart to the North of my house at about the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock position. Then I saw a bright flash of light coming from the flashing light at the 2 o'clock position at the same time I say 2 lights come out from the flash one went left the other went right toward the flashing light at the 10 o'clock hour. then there was a second bright flash from same spot and one more light shot across the sky t the left then it happened again there were a total of 4 lights streaking across the sky that night. shortly after the the 4th light the blinking light at the 2 o'clock hour stopped blinking.
Last February 2015 was out looking for lights in the sky at about 8:30pm. I saw a few hovering red pulsating lights moving in a big circle near some Federal Government Antennas. Then this one about the size a basketball flew about 100 ft over my house got past toward the antennas then just vanished light went out.
Last May 2015 was driving home about 10pm near my house I saw another red pulsating light up in the clouds just hovering when I got within 1/4 mile from this object it dropped from the sky into the jungle I looked for it for about a half hour.
Last July Was at the University of Guam at 8pm saw another pulsating light hovering in the clouds over Pago Bay watched it drop out of sight just over the water kept watching waited for about an hour looked up and it was back in the clouds but further out over the ocean.
First UFO I remember seeing I was about 7 years old with brother 9 & sister 5 . We saw this light circling a antenna tower 3 or 4 times then it shot straight up into the sky.
I have seen many more in past years but these are the ones I remember the most.
I had a dream when I was about 8 years old. I went outside my parents house really early in the morning walked to front yard looked up in sky saw a bright light shine down on me, then i woke up in my bed. Maybe it was a dream, I don't know. - MUFON CMS

Cancer really is an insidious disease...because of all the different ways it can affect people. We were caregiver's when Vanessa's mom was sick...who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer not long after Vanessa's dad passed. She went through the surgery and chemotherapy and was clean for 5 years.
Then one day she calls me and says that all of a sudden she's having trouble swallowing. I begged the HMO to give her an appointment ASAP...but we couldn't get in for another two weeks. By that time, the tumor had quickly grown and was evident just by looking at her neck.
They waited another two weeks to schedule out-patient surgery. I knew deep inside that this was not going to be a good prognosis. Not more than an hour after surgery began, the surgeon came out to the waiting room to deliver the news. The cancer had metastasized to her Thyroid Gland (Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer) and had completely blocked the Esophagus. In fact, the tumor had spread deep into her chest. Vanessa was devastated.
The next month was basically a process of making Vanessa's mom comfortable. After a month in the hospital's Oncology wing, she was admitted into hospice...where she peacefully passed away after three days.
That was 14 years ago and, at the time, I thought that was the most emotional and frightening ordeal that we would ever face. In truth...not by a long shot.
Anyone who has dealt with Cancer in any capacity knows that it is a terrible blight and can quickly devastate a family. I made up my mind early that I wasn't going to let that happen. Some may regard my efforts for obtaining support as aggravating and pitiful...and they are entitled to their opinions. I just ask that people not judge...not until they've been in my shoes. Lon
