A possible goblin sighting in Argentina, a pair of misbehaving robots, and an intriguing UFO sighting in New York City were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
A trio of intriguing UFO sightings from around the world popped up on our radar this past week. In New York City, a bewildered witness captured footage of three glowing orbs that erratically maneuvered around in the night sky. Meanwhile, in Portugal, a group of young people was left scratching their heads when they spotted a puzzling UFO that appeared to sport what were described as “membranous wings” akin to those of a flying insect. Finally, an airline passenger flying over the Popocatépetl volcano in Mexico filmed several balls of light floating around the location that, due to a plethora of odd activity in the past, many UFO enthusiasts believe is a secret alien base.
Two particularly weird stories from Argentina made the news this past week, beginning with an eerie video of a small figure standing on a sidewalk as a massive downpour swept over a city. The diminutive stranger’s inexplicable exposure in the storm led many viewers online to speculate that it was a goblin or some other kind of elemental being that manifested in the rain. Later in the week, a homeowner shared the harrowing story of seeing a monstrous creature, which he now believes was a chupacabra, appear in his backyard in the middle of the night. When he ventured outside in the morning, the man was heartbroken to discover that something had killed his cat by draining the unfortunate feline of its blood.
Suggesting that the long-feared robot uprising may be coming sooner than one might think, this past week featured a pair of stories centered around misbehaving androids. First, in China, police ‘arrested’ a humanoid automaton after it inadvertently frightened an elderly woman by ominously lingering behind her as she stopped while walking along a sidewalk. An amusing video of the incident showed the woman berating the robot before it was led away by cops who intervened in the odd situation. Meanwhile, the staff at a Chinese restaurant in California were forced to wrangle one of their dancing robots after it suddenly began smashing a table and sending silverware and food flying.
