MYSTERIOUS ORBS AT MILITARY BASES

Pentagon baffled by 8,000 mysterious UFO orbs hovering over US military bases. An invasion of small metallic orbs has been spotted hovering over the US in recent years, leaving the Pentagon scrambling to identify these mysterious UFOs.

A new report from the crowdsourced platform Enigma, which allows people to report sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), reveals more than 8,000 sightings across the US between December 2022 and June 2025.

Among these, 422 reports specifically describe metallic orbs, with the majority observed between 1am and 4am near military installations in New York, California, and Arizona.

Eyewitnesses, including civilians, pilots, and military personnel, reported seeing the spheres hover silently before moving at extreme speeds, leaving no trace of their departure. Some of the sightings have been captured on video or radar, though many remain unexplained.

'I was walking into work when I looked up and saw two metallic liquid-like objects hovering for about two minutes,' said one witness over Brooklyn's Fort Hamilton in June 2024.

Another in California described seeing a metallic orb above Los Angeles shortly after a squadron of planes flew by.

The Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has been charged with investigating claims of UFOs and has dismissed many as natural phenomena like flocks of birds, conventional aircraft, drones, balloons, or other explainable objects. However, some cases have remained unsolved, reportedly due to a lack of data. Of the 757 UFO cases between May 2023 and June 2024 released in AARO's annual report, 21 cases were classified as unresolved sightings.

Although the Pentagon and civilian groups like the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) have also been cataloging these incidents, many have continued to baffle military officials, who have no way of explaining what was seen. While the new report focused on the thousands of sightings in the US over the last three years, strange orbs have been documented all over the world, from Puerto Rico to the Middle East. Moreover, these tiny craft have apparently been visiting our skies for decades, with pilots during World War II reporting similar orbs over the skies of Europe.

Enigma revealed that more than 360 'metallic orb' reports took place within a few miles of military bases here on US soil. In three of those cases, witnesses revealed that the orbs got within five miles of Fort Hamilton in New York, Papago Military Reserve in Arizona, and Los Angeles Air Force Base on multiple occasions. These mystery orb sightings include one shocking encounter revealed by Dr Sean Kirkpatrick, the former director of AARO, which was captured on a MQ-9 Reaper drone's camera in the Middle East in 2022.

Kirkpatrick warned that if these videos didn't prove that aliens exist, then they're evidence that a rival foreign power could be 'doing stuff in our backyard.'

URBAN LEGEND: THE STORY OF BLOODY MARY

Remember that annoying little story of Bloody Mary? You know ... that light a candle in your bathroom with the lights out late at night, look in the mirror and say her name three time in a row “Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary” and hope you won’t be found dead with your eyes scratched out? Or with claw marks all over your body? Or the possibility that you will be forever trapped behind the glass of the mirror for all eternity?

There are hundreds of backstories on how Bloody Mary came to be. But one of the most reasonable (as reasonable as it can get when a reflection kills you) is the tale of her demise.

In the 1800s there lived a young girl named Mary. An illiness washed over the place where they lived, making people drop dead after a short period of time. When physicians couldn’t find a pulse or when they put a mirror under the nose of the seemingly dead, there might not always be condensation on it from their breaths. So the fallen would be easily assumed to be dead. But were they?

Cases of people who were pronounced dead - but weren't - happened often. So when one would die, people would put a small hole in the coffin, and put a piece of string through the hole that was attached to a bell. The bell would hang on a stick by the homes of the deceased, and if they woke up they would simply pull the string, ring the bell and would be dug up.

Of course, when Mary was to bedridden and slowly died, she was laid in a coffin in her grave. She wasn’t to be buried under just yet it would be easier to un nail the coffin she was put away in, the string and the bell was of course on hand. Days past then up to a week. Her parents never left the house wishing with their very being that their sweet Mary would awaken again.
Friends of the parents claimed that if she had not awoken yet then she never would. That day the parents left the house with their friends at their behalf.

When her parents had gone a neighbor came and began to fill her grave (string and all.) Just in case she would wake up if she was still alive and if so before she suffocated. The neighbor had said his remorse and walked to his home.

Not soon after Mary awoken from her slumber. She pulled the string. The string to the bell that wouldn’t be heard from her parents who were out and the neighbor who was too far away. She pulled and pulled the string until the bell fell and so did the stick. She began clawing and scratching at her wooden prison until her fingers bled then she cut scratching till she breathed her last breath.

When the parents arrived home the father soon realized that the bell as yards away from it originally was and soon called for his wife to come and help him dig up their daughter. When dug threw they unlatched the coffin and found mary in a Petrified state her hands like claws covered in blood same with her white dress she was buried in. They put a mirror under her nose to see if her breaths would show. Condensation was shown on the mirror but even so she was dead. Her spirit is said to have attach to the mirror. And now whenever one says calls “Bloody Mary” three times she come and claws at the unknowing victim.

This is just one of the said stories to be about her demise. There are plenty and their might not even be fact behind the year. But still It’s a gory story that can still kids and you still have your heart beat up every time you say her name...

BIGFOOT SIGHTINGS IN WEST VIRGINA

Many West Virginians believe the woods and mountains are home to cryptids such as Mothman or the Flatwoods Monster. So, it is no surprise that Mountain State residents have also reported possible Bigfoot sightings over the years.

The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization documents reported sightings in each state. According to the data, the three West Virginia counties with the most Bigfoot sightings are Pendleton, Randolph and Pocahontas.

In Pendleton County, there are 14 Bigfoot sightings reported. The first was in November 1994 when cave explorers had bizarre experiences while camping in the Seneca Creek backcountry. The most recent was in November 2012 when hunters said they possibly heard voices and saw a large head peaking behind boulders near Franklin.

There are 10 reported Bigfoot sightings in Randolph County. In November 1989, two people first reported seeing the creature while they were hunting in treestands near Elkwater. Most recently in the county, a fisherman said he saw Bigfoot about six miles from Elkins in July 2017.

Eight Bigfoot sightings have been reported in Pocahontas County. The first was a daylight sighting reported by a person deer hunting near the Greenbrier River in November 1969. The most recent was a September 2016 report from motorists traveling near the Cranberry Mountain Nature Center.

There are two sightings reported in Kanawha County, which is home to the capital city of Charleston. The first was a Summer 1990 report from a man who said he saw a large, hairy creature near a Marmet cemetery. The second report was from a deer hunter who believed he saw Bigfoot near Cabin Creek in November 2009.

People have also reported possible sightings in many other areas of West Virginia. Sightings and evidence, including footprints and casts, are reported statewide, with a concentration in Braxton County, particularly near Sutton Lake. The state's mountain regions are rich with local legends, such as the "old man of the mountain" and the 1919 Flatwoods Monster sighting, further contributing to its reputation as a Bigfoot hotspot...

URBAN LEGENDS: THE CHIEF AND THE MYSTERIOUS CAVE

This one is is a spooky one so don't read it if it's night time, you have been warned. There is a rumor surrounding some of the caves found in Utah, some people belive that they were the caves ancient Ute Shamen used to preformed dark magic and worship the devil, these men would gain the powers of the devil and become skinwalkers, those guys were tame compared to the true honors that sleep in those caves.

It is said that the son of a chief when into the cave to go mining as he traveled deeper into the cave he lit a fire and took a torch. Soon he was encompassed in the earth's bosom. Suddenly a powerful draft nearly extinguished his torch leaving him in the cold, damp, dark. Quickly he grabbed his flint and tried to strike a spark before the torch lost all its light from the glowing embers. He successfully lit his torch, but it was too late. He had been in the dark, he couldn't see his surroundings, and it only took a moment for what lay lurking in the dark to claim its victim. Suddenly the cave was filled with ecos of screams and shouts of horor and pure terror. The sounds of his cries for help were distorted by the caves echos and when they finaly reached the enterance of the cave it was just an unitelegable mess of screaming and noise. This spooked his horse and the horse ran back to the tribe, back to its stable, back to safety, safety that was far away from that young man. 

The Chief, upon seeing his son's horse without his son was immediately worried, perhaps a cave in had spooked the horse, or a skinwalker or enemy tribe killed his son, maybe even the wendigo was to blame. As soon as he could he and 2 other tribesmen set off for the cave his son should have been, it was about a days ride away so when they got to the most of the cave 4 days had passed, no sounds could be heard from the mouth of the cave, but his sons pack and rations were laid out infront of it. The horses the men rode were nervous, something clearly wasn't right. The chief had one man stay out and watch their horses while he and his friend went in. Night was coming so they didn't have much time to look around but in the fading sunlight they saw the remains of a campfire deep in the cave, the cheif decided that exploring the cave exhausted wouldn't be productive so they exited and set up camp for the night. 

That night the chief had a dream he saw his son as a ghost, and was warned not to go in the cave, there is great danger in there. The cheif sad to see his son dead expressed that he wanted to retrieve his sons body so that he can give him a proper funeral and burial, the son agreed but warned his father, "you cannot let your light go out or you will meat the same fate as me" after promising his son this he awoke, the first light of dawn peaking over the Utah Mountians. 

The chief and his friend entered the cave and light a fire both men grabbed grabbed torch amd began their treck deeper into the cave, a few minutes of walking and searching later they found a burned out torch, covered in dried blood. Suddenly the other man stepped into something sticky and foul smelling upon closer inspection it was a pool of rotting blood Suddenly a powerful draft blew through threatening to extinguish their torches. In a moment of panic the other man ran to the chief, and the chief remembering his son's warning put his torch against his friends strengthening the flame, when the draft was gon e the were able to inspect the remains of the cheifs son. Having to berry your own Chile is one of the hardest thing a parent can go through, so think for a moment how hard it must have been to be the chief picking up the peices of what's left of your child. It paints a very sad and gruesome picture.

As the chieff fount bits of his son's clothing to his arm and his torso witch lay in a pool of rotting blood, there is enough blood for the cheif to realize that his son suffered and likely bread out befor having his neck redused to a bloody stump. A little deeper they could see his sons head placed on an outcropping in the rock, they could also hear a deep growling laughter from farther within the cave, it seemed as if it were taunting the chief, asking him what he was gonna do about his son's death. After collecting his head the cheif instructed his friend to walk backwards out of the cave and the chief would guide him, as they exited the other man saw something, lurking just outside the circle of light cast by his torch was something big, it wore a necklace of skulls strung with dried intestine. Its clothing seemed to be made out of bones or covered in them. The beast was short but wide, it had pointed teeth and beady small pure blak eyes, black as obsidian. As the pair walked into the sunlight the creature that was following them faded into the darkness. As the chief and the man he left outside were preparing to leave the last man had an idea, he made a plan so that the creature would never get out and kill anyone else or to prevent anyone else from wandering in. Using the heat from a bondfire he and the other men cracked the stone roof of the cave, after beating at it the cave began to collapse. After all was said and done they headed home to mourn the loss of their son amd tribesman...

NEWS BREAK: CHERRIE MAHAN UPDATE

The search for Cherrie Mahan is back in the spotlight as local police and members of the FBI started digging in Armstrong County.

Crews were out excavating a small plot near a home in South Buffalo on Tuesday afternoon.

Members of Cherrie’s Angels told us that the search was in reference to the 40-year-old case.

The group was not sure if any clues were located.

On Friday, February 22, 1985, in Winfield Township, Pennsylvania, 8-year-old Cherrie Mahan looked forward to attending her friend Jennifer’s 10th birthday party after school. The final bell rang for her third-grade class, and Cherrie headed to her school bus to get home and get ready for the party. At about 4:10 pm, Cherrie and three of her classmates get off the bus at their regular stop on Cornplanter Road, just around the corner from Cherrie’s home. All her friends make it home, but not Cherrie.

Earlier this year, a private investigator from Iowa put up a $100,000 reward for information that leads to her discovery.

“I don’t know if surprised is the best word but I was very happy,” Bailey Gizienski told Channel 11. She is a friend of Cherrie Mahan’s mother Janice McKinney and runs a group dedicated to finding Cherrie.

“She [Janice] did say to me this morning, ‘my heart is beating so fast. Cherrie wants to come home,’” she said.

Steve Ridge is a private investigator working on the Cherrie Mahan case.

“I knew a dig was imminent. I was not surprised but in terms of the specific location, I did not have that location pinpointed. I definitely had areas on both sides of the Allegheny right in that area,” he said.

It’s not clear what investigators uncovered in the dig, if anything. Gizienski says they told Cherrie’s mother that they plan to return...

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF SARAH STERN

I recently watched an old episode of Dateline NBC, and I was drawn to the story of Sarah Stern. I had to do more research on this sad disappearance.  The disappearance of 19-year-old Sarah Stern in December 2016 was a murder case that shocked her community in New Jersey. Her childhood friend, Liam McAtasney, was convicted of her murder, which authorities say was committed during a robbery.

On December 3, 2016, Stern's car was found abandoned on the Route 35 Bridge in Belmar, New Jersey, with the keys in the ignition. Initial speculation suggested suicide, but police soon suspected foul play.
The motive: Prosecutors stated that McAtasney, along with his roommate and Stern's former prom date, Preston Taylor, planned to rob Stern of cash she had inherited from her mother. The money had been left in a lockbox after her mother's death from cancer in 2013.

The case broke open after another friend, Anthony Curry, went to the police. Curry had secretly recorded a conversation with McAtasney in which he allegedly confessed to strangling Stern for a half-hour and robbing her. The horrifying recording was used as key evidence in the trial.

Following McAtasney's confession being revealed, Preston Taylor confessed to helping McAtasney dispose of Stern's body. As part of a plea deal, Taylor testified against McAtasney, describing how they threw her body from the bridge into the Shark River.

Despite extensive searches, including using Taylor's testimony, Stern's body has never been recovered. An ocean engineer testified that her remains were likely swept out to sea.

 
In February 2019, a jury found Liam McAtasney guilty of all charges against him, including first-degree murder, robbery, and desecrating human remains. In June 2019, McAtasney was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Preston Taylor received 18 years in prison for his role in the robbery and disposing of the body.

Sarah Stern deserved a lot better than this. A promising life was ended shortly by greed and violence...

URBAN LEGENDS: THE SCARED BABYSITTER

There was this story a friend of mine told me back in middle school. He told me it happened to his baby sitter but I highly doubt it. One night during a snowy winter his babysitter was looking after some kids while the parents went out. It was getting late so the babysitter put the kids off to bed. Soon as the kids were asleep she went to the living room to kick back on the lazyboy and pass the time watching TV.

While watching TV she noticed something. She looks over to the slide door that leads to the backyard and sees what looks to be the top half of a person. She's tries to keep calm and reaches for her phone. She pretends to be having a conversation with a friend but actually she's talking to the police. The cops get there and they have a look around the back yard. They find no signs that anyone was there. There were no footprints in the snow or anything. They tell her to keep the doors locked and to call back if anything happens.

An hour goes by and she convinces herself she was just tired and seeing things that weren't there. She glances back at the slide door and sees the same thing again. It's a person but only their top half. She quickly runs upstairs to the kids room and locks herself up there with them. She calls the cops yet again and yet again the cops find no signs of any intruder. The cops leave and she decides to stay locked up in the kids room till the parents come back.

Several months later she gets a call from the parents letting her know they're moving and if she would be interested in a few things to lighten their load for the move. She said sure of course and went right over to the house. As she went through the living room she noticed the lazy boy she had sat in many times. She asked if they were taking it with them. They said it's hers if she wants it. She starts moving it and while moving it she notices something. On the back of the lazy boy someone had written with marker or something and it said "I was behind you".
