A Flat Earther arrested for murder, an airline passenger who claimed to be possessed by a ghost, and JD Vance’s musing about demonic UFOs were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
In a development that raised eyebrows among UFO enthusiasts and disclosure advocates, Vice President JD Vance made headlines this past week when, during an interview, he mused that UFOs may be demonic rather than extraterrestrial. Asked to expound on that compelling concept, which is said to have long been bandied about by some of the proverbial ‘powers that be,’ the Veep argued that “one of the devil’s great tricks is to convince people he never existed.” Expressing a deep fascination with the phenomenon, he posited that perhaps the aerial anomalies seen in the sky are simply Satan appearing in a form specifically designed to fool humanity.
This past week featured a pair of particularly weird stories involving air travel in India. First, there was a frightening incident wherein a traveler tried to open the emergency exit on his commercial flight in mid-air. After being restrained by the crew and turned over to the police upon landing, the troubled man claimed his misbehavior came about because he was possessed by a ghost. In a similarly strange story later in the week, a superstitious individual was arrested for sending what was described as a ‘ritual package,’ containing rotting flowers and tomatoes, pieces of iron, and other odd accoutrements, to an airport with the intention of preventing any disasters from happening there.
Two rather odd murder arrests caught our attention this past week. Doing no favors for the reputation of the much-maligned conspiracy theory, a Flat Earther in Florida was busted for allegedly killing his neighbor. In detailing the case at a press conference, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd expressed bewilderment over the matter as there were seemingly no prior issues between the two men that would account for the inexplicable crime. Later in the week, an Indian man turned himself in to the police after killing his friend during a skirmish over a broken cell phone. The shaken killer told cops that he surrendered and confessed to the crime because the victim’s ghost was tormenting him.
