A middle school in Kabale was forced to close its doors this week after a series of disturbing incidents described by students and teachers as “demonic attacks.” Since the beginning of the term, dozens of pupils had reportedly been “possessed,” screaming, fainting, crawling on the floor, hitting themselves, and speaking in incoherent voices.
Witnesses say that during a recent school meeting held to
address the matter, at least nine students began barking like dogs,
crawling on their bellies like snakes, and calling out the name of
a teacher, claiming he had “sacrificed” them in some kind of
ritual.
A spiritual conference and prayer service had been hastily
organized by the local community, but to no avail. Tensions boiled
over when enraged parents stormed the accused teacher’s home,
setting fire to his property. Four houses belonging to him were
destroyed, along with barns containing goats, sheep, pigs, and
crops. The teacher, who has denied any wrongdoing, was suspended
along with another staff member.
Meanwhile, local police have vowed to track down and prosecute
the vandals. “We will hold accountable those who took the law into
their own hands,” said a police spokesperson.
As fear and superstition swirl across the district, one resident
put it this way: “Sometimes, the people with the smallest guts have
the biggest gut feelings.”

For a few days, social media was ablaze. Internet users around the world thought they had uncovered long-awaited proof of extraterrestrial life after a Google Maps image began circulating — what looked like a flying saucer appeared to be partially buried in the sands of the Sahara, not far from the small town of Bordj Omar Driss in southern Algeria.
The story was first launched by well-known UFO researcher Scott
Waring. Scanning satellite images of this remote desert region, he
came across a circular structure that he immediately interpreted as
a crashed spaceship resting some ten meters underground. Soon
enough, the rumor gained momentum: forums and specialized pages
shared the image, fueling the idea of a forgotten alien craft
hidden beneath the dunes.
But the mirage was quickly shattered. Upon closer inspection of
the surrounding area, another researcher spotted an identical
structure nearby, this one topped with a tower under construction.
It turned out to be nothing more than the concrete base of a wind
turbine — a perfectly ordinary round foundation in the eyes of
engineers.
This mix-up is yet another reminder of the dangers of jumping to
conclusions in the world of UFO research. In the age of the
internet, a single intriguing image is enough to fire up the
collective imagination. Yet, more often than not, the reality is
far less mysterious than fiction: before seeing a flying saucer in
the desert, it’s usually wise to consider whether it’s simply an
ordinary human project after all.
Flying is frightening enough these days—but imagine locking eyes with a ghost mid-flight. That’s exactly what happened to psychic Chloe Smith, who says a spirit acknowledged her with a salute aboard a Ryanair flight.
“He was sitting next to a man, just five rows in front of me,”
Smith recalls. “He turned around and looked straight at me, as if
he knew I could see him.” The moment, brief but powerful, came with
a silent message: I see you too.
Chloe Smith is no stranger to encounters with the other side.
According to her, ghosts appear to her almost daily—in airports,
hotels, swimming pools, and now airplanes. “They find ways to let
me know they’re there,” she explains. “Sometimes it’s a look, a
feeling, a small shift in energy. I’m never really on vacation. And
you’re never really alone.”
As for who the ghost on the Ryanair flight might have been,
Smith is hesitant to speculate. “Maybe he was there for a nervous
family member. Or perhaps he was a former pilot who once flew that
very aircraft. They often return to familiar places.”
While most travelers fear turbulence or delays, the idea of a
ghost on board may rattle some even more. But Smith insists that
the spirits she sees aren’t there to frighten—they’re often
protective. “They’re usually gentle presences. Watchful.
Caring.”
So next time you board a plane, keep an eye out. If you catch a
ghostly figure waving, let’s hope it’s a friendly
hello—and not a final goodbye.
A mysterious unidentified flying object (UFO)
was recently spotted above Mount Shasta, California, on Google
Maps. Visible in a satellite image, the object appears to hover
just above the snow-covered peak. Its disc-like, metallic shape has
sparked intrigue among internet users—some claiming it's evidence
of extraterrestrial presence, while others suggest it may be a
glitch in the image. Mount Shasta, long associated with mystical
lore and paranormal activity, has once again become the focus of
speculation. This latest sighting only adds to the mountain’s
enigmatic reputation.
As the prevailing theory attributes the surge of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) spotted along the U.S.-Mexico border to drug cartel drones, a former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent and Army veteran is pushing back — and bringing startling evidence with him.
Bob Thompson, who served both in the military and with CBP,
appeared recently on a podcast dedicated to unexplained phenomena.
During the interview, he revealed never-before-seen footage
captured by a CBP reconnaissance plane in early 2020 near the
Arizona border. The object, dubbed “The Cigar” due to its
short, cylindrical shape, had no visible wings, no propellers, and
left no detectable heat signature — a serious challenge to the
drone explanation.
“This wasn’t a cartel drone,” Thompson insisted. “It was moving
at an unbelievable speed, and it made no sound at all.” He didn’t
rule out the possibility that it could have been a missile under
test, but emphasized that the event deserves serious
investigation.
More strikingly, Thompson says he’s spoken to over 100 CBP
agents who have witnessed similar unidentified craft. “I’ve seen
orbs in the distance, I’ve seen cigar-shaped craft, I’ve seen
triangles,” he recounted. “These aren’t hallucinations. These are
real.”
But perhaps the most bizarre part of his testimony concerns what
agents are now calling “portals” — mysterious circular openings
appearing in the sky. “They’re not smoke rings,” Thompson said.
“They’re something else. We don’t know what, but it’s
terrifying.”
While CBP officers typically focus on border security, these
reports suggest they may also be on the front lines of an
unexplained aerial mystery. So far, no official investigation has
been launched, and the incidents remain undocumented in any formal
way.
The UFO research community is buzzing, but official channels
remain silent. Skeptics continue to dismiss the claims, suggesting
misidentifications or experimental military tech. But for others,
it’s the government’s silence that’s most suspicious.
And while some joke about when aliens will upgrade their tech
from cigars to vape pens, Bob Thompson isn’t laughing. “This isn’t
about belief. It’s about facts. And we’re ignoring them.”
In an era where borders are under constant surveillance and
high-tech scrutiny, maybe it’s time we expand another kind of
frontier — the frontier of our understanding.
Alderney (Channel Islands), December 19, 2012 – The morning fog hung heavy over the island of Alderney, casting an eerie veil across the landscape. In the midst of this mysterious atmosphere, a British couple vacationing on the island claim to have witnessed something truly astonishing. A photograph, taken almost by accident, is now reigniting a centuries-old question: do ghost ships really exist?
Bill C., a tourist from Kent, was enjoying a quiet holiday with
his wife when what began as a simple photo opportunity turned into
a scene worthy of a gothic novel.
"It was a misty and very atmospheric day," Bill C. recalls. "My
wife asked me to stop the car so she could take a picture of the
lighthouse." But as he reached for his camera, something strange
caught his eye on the horizon. Zooming in, he couldn’t believe what
he saw.
"I saw a small three-masted ship sailing close to the coast – it
looked like something straight out of the Renaissance," he says,
still visibly stunned by the experience.
The couple watched as the vessel drifted silently toward the
breakwater, then onward in the direction of Guernsey, crossing the
path of the Condor ferry. A curious route for a ship that looked
centuries out of place.
Trying to make sense of the sighting, C. offered a plausible
explanation: perhaps it was a replica of the Matthew, the
ship once sailed by famed Venetian explorer John Cabot, which has
been reconstructed and used for maritime tourism events.
However, that theory quickly ran aground. Port authorities
confirmed that no such vessel — replica or otherwise — had been
registered or seen near Guernsey or Alderney on that date. In fact,
the Matthew had not been operating anywhere near the
Channel Islands at the time.
With the rational explanation ruled out, attention turned back
to the inexplicable. Local historians referenced an Elizabethan
ship believed to have wrecked on Alderney's shores in 1592 — a ship
whose legend, like so many maritime tales, refuses to sink into
obscurity. According to local lore, a ghostly vessel has long been
said to haunt these waters, appearing only under certain weather
conditions.
Could it have been a mirage, a trick of light and fog known as a
Fata Morgana? Or was it truly a ghost ship — one of those spectral
vessels sailors of old swore they’d seen, drifting silently through
the mists?
For Bill C., one thing is clear: what he saw that morning was
real.
"I'm not the kind of person who believes in this stuff," he
says. "But that ship... it was there. And then it just vanished
into the fog. As if it had never been there at all."
A fleeting glimpse, caught on camera, but perhaps enough to
rekindle the age-old mystery of the seas.
Could it be that the ocean, too, remembers its dead?
In 1938, a team of archaeologists led by a Chinese professor discovered small humanoid skeletons and stone discs engraved with an unknown language in the remote Bayankara-Ula mountains. These artifacts sparked wild speculation, and when they were finally understood, the authorities did everything to bury the truth—because what they revealed was too disturbing to be made public…
A Strange Discovery in the Bayankara-Ula
Mountains
In 1938, Chinese archaeologist Chi Pu Tei led
an expedition into the remote Bayankara-Ula mountain range, near
the border of China and Tibet. The area, largely unexplored at the
time, featured a series of mysterious caves carved into
cliffs—seemingly ancient burial chambers. What the team discovered
shocked them: small skeletal remains, about 4 feet
(1.2 meters) tall, with oversized skulls and
fragile bone structures—unlike any known human group.
Beside these skeletons were stone discs, later
referred to as the Dropa stones. Roughly the size
of a vinyl record, each disc had a hole in the center and was
covered in tiny spiral inscriptions, written in a
language that defied classification.
Unintelligible Artifacts… Then Deciphered
For years, the Dropa stones remained a mystery. It wasn’t until
the 1960s that another Chinese scientist, Tsum Um
Nui, claimed to have deciphered the
inscriptions. According to his translation, the discs told
the story of a spacefaring people whose ship
crashed in the mountains thousands of years ago. These beings, the
Dropa, were stranded on Earth and had no way to
return home. They eventually attempted to integrate with the local
tribes.
This account was both fascinating and unsettling. If true, it
would challenge the very foundation of human
history—suggesting extraterrestrial contact in prehistoric
times.
Official Silence and Disappearing
Evidence
Shortly after Tsum Um Nui published his findings in a scientific
journal in Beijing, the reaction from the authorities was swift and
suspicious: his article was censored, his
credibility questioned, and the Dropa stones were removed
from public display. Some reports suggest the artifacts
were once housed in a museum in Xi’an before vanishing
without a trace.
The story of the Dropa quickly became taboo. In a China
undergoing political transformation, the government
seemingly suppressed further investigation, possibly
fearing the implications such a story could have—both
scientifically and ideologically.
Myth or Suppressed Truth?
To this day, the so-called "Chinese Roswell" remains a
divisive mystery. Skeptics dismiss it as a
well-crafted hoax, citing the lack of physical evidence, the
disappearance of the discs, and the unverified existence of Tsum Um
Nui—who appears in no official academic records. But others point
out that many archaeological discoveries throughout history
have been suppressed, especially those that challenge
dominant worldviews.
Independent researchers continue to search for clues. Some claim
to have seen photographs of the discs; others reference classified
documents or local Tibetan legends that speak of “star
beings” who once lived in the mountains.
Conclusion: A Truth Too Disturbing to
Reveal?
The Bayankara-Ula affair raises a fundamental question:
how far will authorities go to protect the “official”
version of history? Whether the Dropa story is factual,
exaggerated, or entirely fictional, it taps into something deeply
human: our fascination with the unknown and the
possibility that we are not, and have never been,
alone.
In a world where scientific discovery sometimes collides with
politics and cultural control, the Dropa mystery serves as a
haunting reminder that the truth isn't always
where we're told to look.
