ROSWELL, N.M. — The Pentagon on Friday, October 23rd, posted its seventh release of UFO files since May under a program it calls PURSUE, and among the pages, according to International Business Times UK, is a statement attributed to Walter Haut, the Roswell press officer of 1947. His name is blacked out in the government's copy; outlets link it to him by wording matching a version published in 2007.

In the statement, signed on December 26th, 2002, Haut describes being taken by Colonel William Blanchard to a guarded hangar, Building 84. From a distance he says he saw an egg-shaped object and what appeared to be bodies under a canvas tarpaulin, and he writes that he was convinced it was a craft and crew from outer space. The text was to stay sealed until his death. Haut died in 2005, and it was published in the book Witness to Roswell.

MARIUS HILLS, THE MOON — NASA has selected an investigation to determine what lies beneath one of the Moon's most curious openings, according to a report published by Above the Norm. The Marius Hills Pit, first identified in 2009 by Japan's Kaguya spacecraft, is believed to be an entrance to a subsurface void, probably a lava tube.

The report states that later images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter showed part of the pit's floor extending beneath an overhanging roof, which it describes as confirmation that a hidden cavity exists. How far it runs remains unknown. The opening is put at roughly 65 metres across, though estimates vary.

ANNAN, SCOTLAND — A woman in a white evening dress is said to have crossed the busy A75 near Annan on a dark January night, according to an account published by Spooky Isles. The sighting was reported on the Kinmount Straight by John Hill, a member of the Mostly Ghostly team.

Kathleen Cronie of the Dumfries and Galloway group shares the story on her tours. She says other motorists have reported figures stepping in front of their vehicles, only to discover no trace of any accident. The road has been dubbed "Scotland's Ghost Road", and Ms. Cronie describes further reports of an elderly man in tweeds, a hooded figure, women and children who appear to belong to another era, and unusual animals. She adds that she considers the road itself unremarkable; it is the reported encounters that make it central to the A75 Haunted Highways Tour.

DERRY/LONDONDERRY — A cameraman who returned to St Columb's Hall in Derry/Londonderry to record extra footage felt something repeatedly tugging at his coat, according to an account published by Spooky Isles. He assumed a workman was playing a prank.

The workmen, when asked, said they had felt the same thing. Guide David Douglas, who heard the story through a heritage project at the building, did not witness the incident himself.

THE AIRWAVES — A woman named Dory, walking home from the bank, was troubled to discover that her shadow had declined to follow her lead, according to a description posted by the Weird Darkness podcast.

The post states that Dory heard her mother's voice in her head and threw back her shoulders and lifted her chin. She then looked down, it says, to find her shadow "still hunched over like a dwarf." The listing does not say what became of the matter, though its title refers to a doppelganger encountered in a bar and grill.

THE INTERNET — A post published to the r/HighStrangeness forum relays an account attributed to Dr. Blitch, described as a former DARPA manager, of a nocturnal encounter with a tall creature resembling a praying mantis.

According to the post, the visitor stood some seven feet tall and gave off a strong impression of maleness. It is said to have seemed upset and even to have chastised him. The episode reportedly took place in his third-floor bedroom in a split-level house. The being, the post says, entered through a sliding screen door opening onto a deck that had no stairs.

PARKERSBURG, W.VA. — According to the podcast Weird Darkness, a sewing machine salesman named Woodrow Derenberger was driving home on Interstate 77 outside Parkersburg on the night of November 2nd, 1966, when a craft shaped like an old kerosene lamp passed his van and came to a stop in front of it.

The episode relates that the man who stepped out wore a dark overcoat over a glistening green uniform, and bore an extraordinarily broad grin. He is said to have given his name as Indrid Cold, though without ever saying a word aloud.

SKAMANIA COUNTY, WASH. — A claim that two Portland men died while hunting Bigfoot is the subject of a new book, Sasquatch Country, by writer Chuck Thompson, according to an interview published on Jack Boulware's Substack. The two men, Dean Pommerville and Eric Straughter, were reported missing on Christmas morning 2024 in Washington's Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Rescue volunteers found their frozen bodies three days later.

Headlines then described the pair as "Sasquatch hunters," a label the interview calls untrue. Their families, according to the account, became targets of mockery online. One widow, who wished to avoid the media, asked through a relative whether Thompson could advise on obtaining corrections.

THE INTERNET — A podcast-style interview published on the Substack newsletter MFTIC Research, also titled My Family Thinks I'm Crazy, features Joseph Wilson PhD and Darcy Weir discussing their film The Dripton Files, according to the post.

The film is described in the post as a mockumentary intended to help expose what the host calls the very real and disturbing world of hoaxed Peruvian alien mummies. The episode title refers to the so-called Nazca mummies and to what it calls a "Tridactyl Lie," a nod to the three-fingered hands of the specimens in question.

ANATOLIA — A Reddit user posting to r/occult has set out what the author describes as the calculated logic behind jinn shapeshifting in Islamic, Anatolian and Central Asian tradition, a concept the post calls Tamasshul. Western esoteric circles, the author writes, tend to dismiss such transformations as illusion or astral trickery.

According to the post, jinn are by nature subtle beings, likened to a smokeless flame, and need a physical proxy to move among humans. An animal form, the author says, is the easiest way to pass through houses, ruins and fields without alarm. The author, who mentions a first book titled Jinn Diaries, says the lore commonly sorts such sightings into flying entities, wandering spirits, and creatures shaped as snakes and dogs.

THE INTERNET — A weekly film night held in honor of what he calls Secret Shocktober has led Christopher Knowles, author of the Substack The Secret Sun, to a sweeping conclusion. Writing on October 26, he reports that a viewing of the 1987 picture 'The Hidden' struck him as 'a tidy allegory' of the present day.

The film, as Mr. Knowles summarizes it, stars Kyle MacLachlan as a benevolent alien, in effect an angel, who pursues an insectoid criminal that hops from one human host to another. MacLachlan's character borrows the identity of an FBI agent and partners with a Los Angeles detective played by Michael Nouri. Mr. Knowles finds the performance strongly reminiscent of Agent Cooper in 'Twin Peaks,' and cites a MovieWeb passage noting the similarity. He also compares it to witness accounts of Men in Black in John Keel's book 'The Mothman Prophecies.'

OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST — The waters off North Carolina, long known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, are the setting for one of the sea's more perplexing puzzles, according to a preview article published by Ancient Pages and credited to Ellen Lloyd.

The piece describes a large five-masted schooner lost in winter. Lookouts who spotted the stranded vessel, it says, saw every sail fully set, as though someone had deliberately driven the ship onto the sand.

BONN, GERMANY — Scientists in Germany report they have wound back the biological clock in human cells by more than 60 years, according to an account published by The Debrief. The experiments were carried out at the University Hospital of Bonn and the University of Bonn.

The researchers took blood cells from an 80-year-old individual and, by altering the activity of specific genes, converted them into neural stem cells. Those cells, the report says, displayed age markers closely resembling cells from a young adult, with a molecular age of under 20.

THE INTERNET — A Reddit user posting to r/Experiencers has set out what is described as a "messy dump" of thoughts on higher dimensions, Nordic aliens and a class of beings called Earth Watchers. The author states plainly that the framework is subjective and does not align with mainstream physics, but is offered as a way of making sense of personal encounters.

According to the post, the author is a "pretty strong" psychic who acquired the ability only a little over a year ago, and who does not practise it as a profession. The writer says the Earth Watchers, with whom a short conversation was once held, were left in charge of the planet after the Creator departed. They are said to be cold, distant and non-interfering, dwelling in Earth's highest dimension, which the author says aliens cannot reach.

A UNIVERSITY CAMPUS — A Reddit user posting to r/Paranormal has asked the board's readers to examine a photograph taken in 2023, in which, the author says, something appeared in the back seat of a car behind them that they cannot account for.

According to the post, the author had just arrived at a local university for classes and asked a former girlfriend to photograph them on their bike, having judged the moment worthy of record. The author did not notice anything amiss until the following day, while editing the picture.

RURAL MINNESOTA — A suspected "space object" discovered in a rural Minnesota cornfield earlier this month may be a piece of a Chinese rocket launched in September, according to space experts cited by UPI Odd News.

The report, published on October 26, offers little further detail in the material available. It does not say who found the object, how large it is, or precisely where in the state it came to rest. Those particulars remain, for the present, unreported here.

LONDON, ENGLAND — London, according to a report on Unexplained Mysteries citing BBC News, has acquired a vigilante of an unusually benevolent sort: a masked figure locally styled 'London's Batman', whose chosen crimes to fight appear to be those of inconvenience and want.

His reported deeds include paying for a stranger's petrol and filling potholes. Several of his escapades, the report says, have been captured on camera, and the footage has earned him a sizeable following online.
