THE NORMA-CYGNUS ARM — A radio-bright object far beyond the Milky Way's outer Norma-Cygnus spiral arm is conducting itself in a manner no astronomer has previously recorded, according to a report by Michelle Starr for Science Alert, noted by The Anomalist.

The object, catalogued as VT J1906+0849, was first flagged in 2017 data from the Very Large Array Sky Survey. It was then the brightest radio transient that survey had found, at about 70 millijanskies. A 1996 survey, the report says, showed nothing at the site. By 2005 a change had begun, and the source peaked near 200 millijanskies in 2014.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. — NASA this week announced a new experimental aircraft, the X-70 Fractal, at an event at its Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, according to a report by T.K. Randall of Unexplained Mysteries, which cites Mail Online.

The report states that the vehicle has a cruising speed of Mach 0.75, or 575.4 miles per hour, and a maximum operating altitude of 45,000 feet. It is said to be capable of carrying both human crew and experimental payloads.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A post on the r/UFOs forum announced this week that Jake Barber, a figure known in the UFO community as a whistleblower, has joined the staff of Rep. Eric Burlison to assist with work on unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP.

The post, headed with the word "CONFIRMED," is brief. According to its text, Burlison spokesman Nate Lucas confirmed the arrangement to PARADIGM, a news outlet. The author directs readers to a fuller account in that outlet's newsletter, Signs of Life, and supplies a link.

THE INTERNET — A conversation published on Unknown Country this month examines the long and tangled relationship between Christian fundamentalism and the flying saucer. According to the program summary, monthly guest host James Faulk of the Neon Galactic podcast interviewed writer, scholar and blogger David Metcalfe on the subject.

Metcalfe's account, as summarized, begins with the Pentecostal and healing revivals of the 1940s and 1950s. In that period, the summary states, unexplained lights in the sky were often framed as angels or divine signs. As tales from contactees grew more elaborate, the interpretation reportedly shifted toward the demonological, with visitors cast as deceivers.

RAS AL KHAIMAH, UAE — On a hill in Ras Al Khaimah stands a grand residence that locals and travellers alike have come to know as Al Qasr Al Ghamedh, or the Haunted Palace, according to a listing on Atlas Obscura.

The listing states that the building, formally called Al Qasimi Palace, was commissioned by the late Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Humaid Al Qasimi. Construction began in 1975 and, the entry says, took years to complete. Though it was designed as a private home, it remained largely unoccupied for around 35 years.

THE INTERNET — A Reddit user posting to r/Paranormal has asked the public for help in explaining how a guitar in her living room appeared to play itself shortly before bedtime, according to a post published this week.

The author writes that the room was dark and quiet, with only rock displays lit. She heard the instrument give a light strum, and she stresses that it was not one string but several. She adds that she does not play, and that the guitar belongs to her fiance, who has kept it in the same spot for years. Nothing like it, she says, has happened before.

THE INTERNET — The ghost, it appears, is no recent arrival. According to a feature published by the website Spooky Isles, the earliest accounts of such apparitions stretch from ancient civilisations to Roman Britain and on into the medieval chronicles.

The article is credited to Robert Radakovic, who is described in the source as celebrating Halloween with an in-depth look at the history of ghosts. The piece is titled "First Ghosts: From ancient civilisations to Britain."

THE INTERNET — A question of some cosmic weight was put to the members of the r/occult forum this week, when a Reddit user posting to the community asked readers what they made of a particular theory concerning the divine.

According to the post, the theory holds that the God of the Abrahamic religions, named in the text as Yahweh and Allah, is an egregore. This is a term from occult circles for a being said to be formed from the collective energy and thoughts of human beings. The post states that this entity seeks to dominate humanity and to feed on the energy of its followers.

THE ASTRAL PLANE — A message published on the Era of Light website, credited to author Patricia Cota Robles, declares that humanity stands at a turning point and is being readied for what it calls the 11:11 Activation. According to the text, the event begins on November 11th and runs forty days, concluding at the December 21, 2026 Solstice.

The author writes that Beings of Light in what she terms the Realms of Illumined Truth have said 2026 is the year in which humanity en masse begins a rapid shift into "Christ Consciousness," a change they reportedly thought impossible for centuries. The shift, the message states, will gather momentum through 2030 and benefit all of Creation.

BOURNEMOUTH, ENGLAND — A ruler long counted among the most consequential figures of early Roman Britain has been reclassified, according to a report from Ancient Pages. Researchers at Bournemouth University hold that Verica, presumed for generations to have been a male king of the Atrebates tribe, was in fact a woman.

The Atrebates, the report says, occupied much of present-day Hampshire and West Sussex. Around 40 AD Verica was deposed and fled to Rome to seek the protection of Emperor Claudius. The Roman historian Cassius Dio states that Claudius invaded Britain only after Verica persuaded him to cross the Channel.

THE INTERNET — A Reddit user posting to the r/HighStrangeness forum has put a large question to the public: whether CERN and quantum computers are summoning highly strange, intelligent entities from other universes.

The post, published on 6 November 2026, arrives as a link or image submission with no accompanying text. The title is therefore the whole of the author's stated argument, and this correspondent can report nothing of the evidence, reasoning or linked material behind it.

PRINCETON, N.J. — A team of Princeton neuroscientists reports that mice which merely watched their fellows fight developed brain patterns and combat habits resembling those of seasoned brawlers, according to an account published by The Debrief.

In the experiments, male mice were sorted into fighters, spectators and novices. Over eight days, fighters took part in three daily sessions of about ten minutes, including sparring with an easily beaten 'pushover' mouse. Spectators watched from a raised platform behind a clear barrier, able to see, hear and smell the action but not join it. Novices spent the sessions with a stuffed toy mouse and saw no fights.

LONG ISLAND, N.Y. — A Reddit user posting to r/Experiencers has set down an account of a childhood night in a finished basement on Long Island, which the author says remains unexplained decades later. The events are described as taking place in the late 1990s, when the writer was in fifth grade.

According to the post, the author was sitting on the edge of a bottom bunk after bedtime when the room filled with a shimmering blue light. The writer likens it to a dark indoor swimming pool lit only by an underwater lamp. At the foot of the stairs, the post says, were several shapeless, pinkish-tan blobs, none taller than a foot, which the author compares to raw bone-in chicken pieces.

UJJAIN, INDIA — A Reddit user posting to r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix has described what he calls an inexplicable episode at a petrol station in central India, which he says occurred about three months before he wrote. The author states that it took him considerable time and courage to set it down.

According to the post, the man has driven a Hyundai i20 for five years and has always filled it with diesel, having chosen it for economical long-distance travel. He had been to the Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain, where he met a sadhu outside who was asking for money and blessing visitors. The author writes that something strange and eerie hung about the man, and that he accepted the blessing nonetheless.

AN EMPTY PICKLEBALL COURT — A morning walker has submitted a account of two vanished squirrels to the r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix forum, a gathering place for those who believe they have witnessed small faults in the fabric of ordinary life.

According to the post, the author was out on a routine morning walk when two squirrels came into view, chasing one another across an empty pickleball court. The author states that they kept the animals in sight throughout, never glancing away.

MARSHFIELD, MASS. — Police in Marshfield, Massachusetts, are asking motorists to keep a sharp lookout for a cow that, according to a report from UPI Odd News, has been roaming the area freely for an entire day.

The report, published on November 6, describes the animal as "large" and says it has so far eluded capture. The brief account offers no further particulars, and this newspaper has been unable to establish from the source where the animal came from, who owns it, or what direction it was last seen travelling.

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS — A Cold War fallout shelter on Postjeskade, in Amsterdam's Baarsjes neighbourhood, is for sale at about £245,000, according to a report in The Mirror. The asking price is given as €295,000. The structure was designed to shelter up to 80 people.

The report states that the building began life in 1940 as a sewage pumping station. It was converted into a fallout shelter in 1960, amid fears of nuclear war, and was later used to store Civil Defence supplies.
