Ancestral Shadow Dancers
Rich in southern New Mexico called in to tell of a weird time slip experience he had. It's very interesting in that it sounds very much like a case that was profiled on the TV show Ghostly Encounters:
“I think I had a time warp experience. This has only happened to me one time but it was pretty impressive. I got out of the US Marines in 1971 and went back to the University of New Mexico. And worked on a couple of archaeological field schools as a photographer. I had been an archaeology major, decided to switch to anthropology and was taking archaeology classes. One of my professors said, 'hey, if you would like to take a couple of semesters off, I got a jobs for you with the Museum of New Mexico doing survey work.' So I dropped out of school, went up to Santa Fe and ended up on a survey of a coal mining place up near Farmington.
I was on the San Juan power-plant, eventually and it spread across the river from the Four Corners power-plant. The lease was about 2 miles wide about 8 miles long. It took us, two guys, several weeks to survey the whole thing. We were doing this on foot. The guy I was working with was kind of a loose cannon. So I decided to just camp out on the lease instead of going to town with the guy. It was getting pretty dangerous.
One night I was sleeping in my tent. It was a full moon and I heard all of this singing, drumbeats across, oh, about a quarter mile or less. You could see a big campfire and against the cliff-face, I could see shadows of people dancing and you could see people up on the top of the ridge in the moonlight. This went on for two or three hours. And at that time of year, the Navajo people have a night-time ceremony. It's called the Squaw Dance. It's sort of a Sadie Hawkins – the girls ask the boys to dance and you're in trouble if you say no. Anyway, 2 or 3 in the morning, things quieted down.
The next morning, my partner hadn't shown up yet. He was frequently late so I decided to hike over and take a look at what was going on the night before. There was no tracks. No nothing. And I was standing on the untouched ruins from about 1050AD. The soil there was kind of a compacted shale mostly. Shows tracks real well, you know, nothing. It was vivid. I just walked back to my tent and that was the end of it.”

NOTE: The Squaw-dance is the only affair at which couples dance. Navajos say that "Squaw-dance" is a white man's name for it; it is really a war-dance. It is also a curing ceremony, the disease being the enemy to be defeated.
The whole affair lasts three days, starting at the home of the patient and moving each day a day's journey for a horse. The trek is made slowly in wagons or on horseback, and every day the crowd increases. On the second night a few men, daubed with mud, dance a wild shouting turn, as a prayer for rain. Only on the last night do women dance. - streamsinthedesertaz.com

Mother Fights Off Mountain Lion
Authorities say a mother fought off a mountain lion that attacked her 5-year-old son in Colorado on Friday night.
The sheriff's office said the boy's mother heard screaming while he was playing outside in the front yard with his older brother. The mother ran outside, where she saw the animal on top of her son and she dragged the boy away.
The Pitkin County Sheriff's Office said the boy suffered face, head and neck injuries and was in fair condition at a hospital in Denver. The mother was treated and released from a hospital.
Pitkin County sheriff's deputies and a Forest Service Ranger were the first to arrive and killed the lion believed to be responsible for the attack after they found it wandering near the home.
The Latest on the mountain lion attack on a small child in Colorado (all times local):
4 p.m.
Authorities say a Colorado woman saved her 5-year-old son's life by prying his head from a mountain lion's mouth after the animal attacked the boy in their front yard.
Pitkin County Sheriff's Deputy Michael Buglione (BOO-lee-oh-nee) says the woman told him she found the lion crouched over her son biting his head Friday outside their home near the resort town of Aspen. She told deputies she grabbed one of the animal's paws and stuck her right hand in its mouth to pry it open.
Buglione says the mother had bite marks on her hand and scratches on her leg after the lion, estimated to be about 2 years old, ran off.
He says the boy suffered deep cuts to his face, head and neck and was taken to a Denver hospital. Their names weren't released.
Wildlife officials say they shot one young mountain lion near the home and a second one in the area several hours later.

Amazing Cigar Shaped UFO
Adorned with lights that flash from white, to blue, to purple, the mysterious object is long and narrow, rather than the disc-shape commonly associated with UFOs.
One social media user commented: “Absolutely amazing footage. Definitely an extremely large, cigar-shaped UFO.”
Another user also thought the video was convincing, saying: “It looks like part of a space shuttle.”
Furthermore, it seems this isn’t the first time the strange object has been spotted.
One person posted under the video: “I saw the exact same thing over my house in Worcestershire a few years back… Definitely changed my opinion on the whole UFO thing, amazing to see a video of it!”
