Anything's possible in this age of Photoshop and CGI, but before all that came some pretty crazy pictures. Whether you believe or not, these possibly extraterrestrial newspaper sensations, seen by many and photographed by few, mark some of the world's greatest mysteries.
The Battle of Los Angeles Los Angeles, 1942: Just three months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, this incident occurred between February 24th and 25th, when an unidentified flying object was spotted over Los Angeles. Assumed to be another air strike from Japan, the UFO sparked a massive anti-aircraft military attack. The the true identity of the object is still unknown today.
The Lubbock Lights An unusual formation of lights flew over Lubbock, Texas in 1951. Spotted by three professors from Texas Technical College and later photographed by a student, the 'UFO' featured 20 and 30 lights that flew overhead in a "V" formation. The sighting was so popular and highly publicized that the photos and story appeared in Life Magazine in 1952.
The Washington D.C. Incident First spotted on an air traffic controller's radar, seven objects moved in unusual flight patterns that witnesses called bright orange lights. The most publicized sightings occurred in consecutive weekends with the objects moving over the White House. The incident was so publicized it prompted President Truman to demand an explanation.
Ghost Rockets Sweden, 1946: Over 2,000 "Ghost Rockets" were sighted over from August 9th to August 11th by hundreds of witnesses. The rockets were assumed to be meteors, but UFO talk arose because many sightings occurred during broad daylight while the rockets were described as moving slowly and horizontally, and, sometimes, were followed by strange noises.
The Belgian UFO Wave This series of sightings lasted from November 1989 to April 1990, with 143 witnessed accounts on the first night. The unknown objects were tracked on radar by the Belgian Air Force and described as black triangles with bright lights that would change color. The Belgian Air Force still offers no explanation for the objects.
Roswell, New Mexico The most famous UFO incident and suspected Government cover-up occurred in 1947. Recovered debris from an alien aircraft (or experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon as is claimed) was found in the desert of New Mexico, beginning one of the biggest controversies and mysteries in U.S. history.

UFO spotted at Virginia amusement park
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) - Denna Smith is a writer who hopes to work with Tyler Perry someday, but, she says, even she couldn't make this story up.
"We were like what is that, we were all stopped and we were astonished," said Smith.
Smith and her family were at Kings Dominion when they saw a black floating ring in the sky. "Is this the end of the world, what is going on?" Smith wondered.
Kings Dominion says the ring is smoke from a ride called Volcano. UFO investigator, Cameron Pack, agreed. Pack said he'd be convinced it was just smoke if it weren't for pictures of a similar sighting at Fort Belvoir, taken sometime in the 1950s.
Smith says she's positive it wasn't smoke.
"Smoke usually looks smokey and cloudy. This ring of smoke was a perfect circle. It was lined up so tight like it was a cut in the middle of the sky," said Smith. She also doesn't think it was a UFO.
"It was like a sign, God gives you signs and I just felt like that was a sign and I'm not sure what that sign meant but it meant a great deal to my family because when we got home we all got in line and prayed together. We were freaking out," Smith continued.
Pack says he plans to follow up with Kings Dominion. Smith thinks his investigation could turn up something.
"I still believe it is still out there we just don't know where it went," said Smith.

Multiple UFO Sightings in Northwest Missouri spark MUFON investigations
Missouri Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) state section director Margie Kay is reporting an increase in UFO sightings reports.
The following was released by Kay on June 12.
A rash of UFO sightings in the greater Kansas City area have prompted investigations by Mutual UFO Network field investigators. Sightings in St. Joseph, Kansas City, Independence, Sedalia, and Warrensburg from December 31 to the present have increased in number.
Some of the more spectacular sightings are as follows:
Two Warrensburg women witnessed a large circular unidentified object on the evening of December 31, 2008 and the morning of January 1, 2008. Christina Cooper, a professional photographer, and her friend reported the sighting to MUFON. A third witness, who wishes to remain anonymous, and who was in a different location, spoke to the investigator by phone. The sighting occurred on the evening of December 31 at 6:30 PM and again at 12:30 and 1:30 AM on January 1. The object was circular in shape, reported to be close to the road, approximately 60 feet off the ground and had several bright white lights on it. It landed at one point on 50 Hwy.
Since the unidentified object may have been in the area for several hours, it is possible that other people saw it. The locations are Hwy 13 North of Warrensburg and south of I-70, and Hwy 50 between Kansas City and Warrensburg.
In March a UFO was spotted by several college professors in St. Joseph, Missouri, who viewed the object through a telescope. Two of the witnesses made drawings of the object, which were large orange fireballs in a tear-drop shape. The UFO moved away and disappeared.
In late May a large oval object was spotted traveling from South to North from the UMKC campus in Kansas City, and in June a large cigar-shaped silver UFO was witnessed in Sedalia by 20 people standing in an Applebee’s parking lot.
Many other sightings have been sent to the KC MUFON office, some of which were not reported to the official MUFON database.

Dancers
Yes, I know its getting dark, and I know its getting cold, but just come over here for a minute. It wont take much of your time. There's something I want to show you, someone I'd like you to meet.
Come on. Humor an old man who needs to tell his secret.
It's just there, behind the church. Yes, in the older graveyard. You're not afraid are you? I promise, there's nothing here that would ever hurt you.
Not you.
Watch out for the moss on the stones. Some of the slimier varieties can get embedded in your clothes, and it's murder trying to get it out.
Just about there is usually the best spot. Stand quietly now - let your eyes get adjusted to the dark. You'll soon see why I brought you here.
There she is.
Do you see her? She's standing right there. Look - in front of the large grey angel, just to the left of the patch of moonlight, almost underneath the old elm. Yes, there, beside the largest headstone.
My beautiful Sarah. Forever young, forever twenty.
See how the red of her hair glows like a burning firebrand, a halo around the white perfection of her face. And look - she's wearing the dress. The one I bought her for the dance, the last dance of our youth.
Three pounds two and sixpence that dress cost me - more than a week's wages in those days. Times have changed, haven't they? My mother told me that I was mad, spending all that money on a slip of a girl who was no better than she should be. But I knew that she was worth every penny.
I was drunk with the delight that danced in her eyes when she tried it on, swaying her hips to get the full effect from the long flowing pleats. I can still remember even now, fifty odd years and many strangers' kisses later, the sweet honeyed taste of her lips as she thanked me, the pressure of her hands on my back as we embraced.
I wish she would touch me now. Just one touch, to bring us together at the end. If only she could see me. I have so much that I've never told her.
How still she is, how composed. The wind refuses to ruffle her, the rain refuses to dampen her, the earth refuses to cling to her. Yet there's something more.
Look closer. She breathes; she blinks; her lips part and then connect, but there's no steam. Not like you and I, standing here puffing at each other. It may be almost winter here, but for her it's late summer, always summer.
Those lips. How deep and red and enticing they were that night, glistening moistly as she looked up at me. Smiling, dancing, laughing, we moved across the dance floor. We were young; the war had barely touched us, and I was in love for the very first time. The night held the prospect of many new pleasures.
And then he arrived.
I knew he was going to be trouble. Right from the start I could see what he was. American, charming, arrogant and different. Hello excitement, goodbye dependability. In the space of a minute I'd lost her forever.
Shall I tell you how it happened?
He butted in on our dance. Just barged right in, excused himself, and then off they went, whirling round the floor in a flurry of legs and feet and arms. I tried to stop him as they came round again, but he had all the advantages - height, weight, diet, composure and training - while I merely had my rage.
Afterwards, as I lay there on the floor, my tongue counting teeth as my handkerchief vainly tried to soak up blood, I heard a laugh. Looking up through eyes which had already begun to puff up, I saw her. Only six feet away, but already distant, clinging to the conqueror. Her hair made a red scar where it fell on her shoulder, and in that moment I knew what I would have to do.
Can you see? She's moving. But watch. Do her legs bend? Does she walk like you or me? Or does she glide, smooth and silent like a great white owl? Listen. Can you hear any gravel being trodden underfoot? Or is there only you and me and silence?
You can't tell, can you? She deceives the brain, but doesn't brook too much attention. Try not to look too closely - set your mind on other matters.
Ah yes. The chiming. It must be eight o'clock again. Do you think she's able to hear? She'll be heading for the wall. When she reaches it she'll rest her elbows and look over there, to the field on the left, where the airfield used to be.
I remember the women, silent, waiting, listening for the sounds which would tell them that their men were coming back. They used to peel off one at a time as the planes returned, until only a few were left, watching and waiting and wondering.
See how the moonbeams dance around her, making her glow. So white, so brilliant, so pure. And no shadow to taint the vision.
He was corrupting her. I could see that, even from the few glimpses I had of them together. There they were, laughing and giggling like a pair of kids fresh out of school. And kissing! In public! Right there on the main street for all too see, and again, later, in the pub, flaunting themselves in front of me.
Of course she had stockings. And lipstick. And chocolate. And cigarettes. The price of her innocence, the wages of sin.
I hoped that I wouldn't be too late, that she was still capable of being saved. I watched. I waited. I planned. He continued with her destruction, but soon I'd have my turn.
See how she moves between the stones, not attempting to pass through them. Does she look solid to you? You can't see through her, not like in the books or the films. Do you think that if I went over there and put out my hand she'd be able to take it, be able to feel? Would she notice that I was there?
I have often, over the years, thought about why she returns. It is only now, when I'm near my own end, that I'm able to look at it dispassionately. Maybe, when I go to join her, we'll both understand.
Did you know that I used to be a mechanic? Well I was, and a good one at that. It was easy. I already had the run of the airfield, so it was simple to wangle myself in on the servicing of his plane. Once I had spent five minutes aboard, it was only a matter of waiting for the next flight.
I was subtle though. I didn't want the plane blowing up over land; not over England anyway. My work might have been noticed. No, the explosion would occur only when the plane climbed to more than one thousand feet. That should do it. By the time it reached that height it would be well out over the channel.
He took it out the very night day.
Look. She's reached the wall. See how her elbows stay white, despite the damp and moss and stone? Her eyes will be moist. Will those tears be real? Could I perhaps touch them? Touch them and somehow feel her pain?
The next day I saw the flight take off, twelve planes slowly gathering in formation before beginning their long climb into the sky. I watched them until they rose into the clouds, then listened as they droned away. Was there an explosion? Did the droning lessen? I never did find out.
Whether I'm a murderer or not, he never came back, and I never lost the guilt.
Later that day, when the sky was once more filled with sound, the women left the wall, one by one, until she was the only one remaining, trying to pierce the clouds as she peered avidly eastwards, willing him to return.
I stood, just about here, and watched, cursing her for her devotion, cursing him for his hold on her, as darkness fell and the skies grew silent.
It was late summer, and the temperature was dropping rapidly. A light drizzle began to fall, chilling me to the bone.
And still she waited, and still I watched.
See it. There's the cigarette. How ungainly it looks in those pearl white fingers. It burns - there's a good quarter of an inch of ash on the end - but there's no smoke, no smell.
He started her off on that habit. She'd told me that morning that she did it because it made her look like a real lady. As if she'd not been a lady before that. It made me angry, so angry that I could watch no longer.
See how she turns, surprised. Now she'll look confused for a second. Then she'll see that it's only me; only the young, fresh faced, solid, dependable me.
Watch closely now. You may just catch the disappointment as it flits across her face. Look, she turns her back again, returns to her vigil.
One look and I was consigned to despair. I grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her around to face me, demanding that she explain herself. She struggled in my arms but I held on as we moved around in a parody of a waltz; held her as she screamed, her once-beautiful lips contorted in rage.
She pulled away once more, and this time she was too strong for me to hold on to her. Surprised to be free so easily, she lost her balance.
I reached out desperately for her as she fell, slowly, slowly, towards the unyielding gravestones. And then came the sound, the one I hear late at night in my dreams, the sound of her neck as it broke.
So now we wait, she for a sweetheart who will never return, me for an end to the guilt and the hope of forgiveness. Which of us is more dead?
And the time passes and I watch, every night, as she dances, just for me.

The truth about Roswell?
UFO watchers believe that in 1947 a flying saucer with aliens on board landed outside the New Mexico town of Roswell and that an elaborate cover-up by the authorities followed. The BBC's Kevin Connolly went to Roswell in pursuit of the truth about the Roswell incident.
There is a lunar quality to the landscape of New Mexico which seems somehow appropriate for a state which is our portal to the heavens.
It is here on a dried-up lake bed high above sea level that the radio telescopes of the US government's Very Large Array (VLA) receive signals from the outer edges of our expanding universe, chasing the very moment of the Big Bang through the trackless void of time and space.
And of course it is also here - perhaps - that 62 years ago a flying-saucer crashed to earth on a ranch outside the town of Roswell, killing its alien crew and prompting one of the most elaborate and protracted cover-ups in history.
The power of that possibility and the darkness of the nights here so far from the light pollution of the big cities are what draw scientists and curious tourists alike to this entrancing place.
And it is what motivates watchers of the skies to keep, well, watching the skies, obviously.
Alien ambiguity
If UFO true-believers are right, then nothing much that has happened on our tiny, fragile planet in the years since that stormy summer's night really matters very much.
What, after all, would Watergate, or Vietnam or Iraq amount to if we could establish that the US government knew for sure that we are not alone in the universe?
Most of the big questions about alien life and UFOs can be traced back to Roswell - not least the issue of how life-forms from another civilisation have such an uncanny sense of when the tourist industry in a small US town could use a shot in the arm.
Are we really alone in the heavens, for example, and if we are not, do the civilisations with which we share the heavens mean us any harm?
Is it just a coincidence that aliens have never managed to find an earth-dweller who knows how to operate his own camera properly?
And why, if you have journeyed light years across the unknowable vastness of the heavens, would you confine yourself to a fleeting and ambiguous appearance before a handful of New Mexican ranchers?
Why not go the extra mile and find a research institute of some kind - unless our visitors have a sense of humour, of course.
But we are getting ahead of ourselves.
Let us return to that stormy summer New Mexican night in 1947 when the story of the UFO landing first broke.
It was a world of tension and uncertainty.
The United States had detonated the first atom bombs - they were developed just up the road at Los Alamos, New Mexico - and was uneasily aware that the Soviet Union, its increasingly hostile former ally, had nuclear ambitions of its own. The Cold War was just beginning.
'Switcheroo'
Roswell was in those days the home base of the 509th Bombardment Group of the US Eighth Army Air Force.
Most of the boys in the 509th were combat veterans and when they were tasked to investigate reports of some kind of landing on a ranch a short distance away it seems reasonable to assume they were not too excited at first. That soon changed.
When they got the material back to base, they quickly concluded they were onto something historic.
Their first press release talked of the recovery of a flying saucer - it was only when the suits descended from Washington that the tone of the official communiques changed.
The base intelligence officer who was tasked with taking the wreckage to another base reports leaving it in an office there and returning a few minutes later to find that the space debris he had brought had been replaced with parts of a weather balloon.
The fix was in. Faced with evidence of one of the most significant events in human history the American authorities had responded by pulling the old switcheroo.
One account of those days comes from Julie Shuster, whose father was the press officer at the Roswell base.
She now runs the museum in the town which is the focal point for the local UFO industry (it is on a street where the street lights have been decorated so that they look like alien heads).
For Julie there is a simple issue in all of this which goes back to the version of events her father passed on to her.
"My daddy didn't lie. My father saw the bodies, my father saw the craft," she says.
"He saw bodies - large heads, almond shaped eyes... and material that couldn't be burnt, ripped, cut - anything."
'Majestic 12'
It is not quite so personal for the other true believers in the incident.
Dennis Balthaser, for example, is a retired civil engineer who is perhaps the most meticulous researcher of the Roswell incident.
He has spent years (and thousands of dollars of his own money) tracing every witness and every player from that night in 1947 and is convinced that there was a landing.
But he is at his most compelling when talking about the cover-up which follows.
Dennis lives in a rather frightening world where the US government would be perfectly happy to murder anyone (including him) who got too close to the truth.
He believes the US is really governed by a kind of secret committee of senior military and intelligence officials with the president serving as a kind of hired hand to deal with the public.
"Basically he can't be trusted with information like this" says Dennis.
"Back in Truman's time, we're looking at a thing called 'majestic 12', which was a group of some of the highest military people, some of the highest dignitary people we had. I believe today we still have a group similar to that that calls the shots."
Even before I met Dennis, I knew he believed that space travellers helped build the pyramids - where I, for example, am more inclined to the view that they are probably the work of Egyptians.
I expected to find him hopelessly naive - but the funny thing is he is so lucid and convincing that I left feeling rather naive myself.
(And in case you were wondering - if anyone ever lifts a quote from this article to promote a book or a DVD it will be that previous sentence.)
Missing balloon?
But here is the problem.
I mentioned before that New Mexico is a place where real science and Roswell science-lite co-exist.
And it is in that proximity that our explanation probably lies.
At the VLA (that centre of government radio telescopy) they will tell you that around the time of the crash, the US government was sending up special high-altitude weather balloons made of a then-classified material.
They were looking for atmospheric evidence that the Russians were testing their own nuclear bomb.
On the night of the Roswell incident, one of those balloons went missing.
Until, perhaps, it was found by the boys of the 509th.
And all that stuff about alien bodies being recovered and autopsies being performed? Well I leave you to speculate about that for yourselves.
If you find all that a little disappointing then you can always employ the debating technique favoured by UFO true believers - the deployment of questions designed to expose the lack of absolute certainty in almost all human affairs.
How do you know, for example, that there really is not a government department 27 layers above top secret tasked with keeping an eye on these things?
Perhaps they insist that articles like this are submitted to them for screening before publication.
And maybe this is not the script I originally wrote and submitted - just the script they sent back.
You could hardly blame me for giving in - I am sure you would not want to find my bleached bones left out in the desert, would you?
All I am saying is - keep watching the skies.

Incubus Demon Stalker
Since October 13th 2008, what started out as a reoccurring Incubus appearing in my dreams has crossed over into real life, resulting in a terrifying experience in my bedroom on Saturday, February 7th 2009 at around 9:25pm. I know that this site doesn't want to hear about dreams, but this demonic/ghostly figure that I was attacked by seems to have come straight out of the dreams I had prior. I am writing about this now, because I wonder if anyone else has ever had a similar experience? It started out like this:
On October 13th 2008, I had the first dream of this incubus and in it he was performing sexual sadomasochistic acts on some women who desired it. He even killed one in the process. When he had finished with them it was like he was the nicest guy to talk to. I have no idea why I would be seeing this but he began hanging out with me like a friend. I was even shocked about his change in mannerism and mentioned to him; "You seem nice though." And he shook his head a little and with a wicked grin he corrected me with; "Friendly". Even though I did see the kind of wickedness he did, I tried to be friendly myself and said; "Even so, for some reason I like you still." But perhaps I should never have said that to this Incubus? As the dream progressed to my alarm he was walking me home at night. I was becoming afraid because I began to fear that at any moment he could suddenly try to hurt me. I wanted to get away from him somehow. Just then a blast of lightning came down from the night sky behind me from the East, and struck the spot where the Incubus was standing. However he leapt back about 10ft. Quickly avoiding the bolt. I watched this with surprise as the Incubus ran away to take cover somewhere. Suddenly to my right side came down three Angels in white, they looked alike.
They were armed with various weapons that threw lightning bolts and they looked beautiful and dangerous. I didn't want to get caught up in any supernatural Angel/Devil fighting so I turned to my left and was about to hurry out of the way when one of the three Angels grabbed my right arm, slightly below my elbow, stopping me in my tracks. I turned to look at the one who grabbed me and he was looking at me sternly and said; "Come on..." Something inside me told me not to say a word and just "Obey". So I followed his command and walked over to the three Angels and the one who had grabbed me turned around and instructed me to climb onto his back or at least take hold of it. I obeyed and was transported away from that Incubus and later found myself in some airport terminal or some kind of public place. I get this cell phone call and when I answer it, it's the Incubus and he's yelling at me; "Why did you go with them?" I remember saying; "I didn't think arguing with Angels was wise." Does he think he's my boyfriend of something? Anyhow that was the end of that dream.
Now around January 9th 2009, the second dream I had of this Incubus was where he threatened me. In the dream I found myself at night standing at the side of a main street close to where I live at around 4am. There were no cars in sight because of the hour, and I think I was about to cross the street or I was waiting for someone. When I see this billboard advertising a concert coming up that I really wanted to get tickets to. Anyhow, I'm so excited about getting tickets I turn and want to rush back home and suddenly I'm face to face with the same Incubus from the last dream I had in October. But this time he's dressed a little nicer. Like he was ready for a romantic date. He's looking at me with delight and almost romantically and was just standing there on the sidewalk not saying anything at first. But I brush him off and rushed away actually taking flight on my own without the aid of angels this time. And I'm flying away heading back toward my home through the neighbourhood when I hear him yelling; "Hey wait; what about-- Just you wait (he said my full name)... I'll FIND YOU!" He was so angry that I blew him off like that. But I didn't have time or interest in meeting up with him again.
I remember wanting to loose him in case he could follow me because I didn't want him finding out where I lived. So I swoop down toward the tree line to fly through the treetops and just then, he had thrown something that hit the palm of my left hand and clung to it like the sticky side of a "Post it". I couldn't get it off so I tried flicking my hand several times to detach it while I was in flight. I entered the dense tree line and could feel all the leaves as I flew through them easily. I thought that I was able to scrape off the tag or whatever he had attached to my hand. I didn't feel it right away as I finally came to my home street and came out of the trees to land on my front porch and I went inside and just then woke up but the feeling of something still attached to my hand remained. I could still feel the tag stuck to the palm of my hand. I was spooked it was around 2:00am and I began praying. Having seen this demonic guy already once and now waking with the feeling I felt in my hand I was scared. I began praying to Michael the Arch Angel to protect me from this demon who threatened to find me. And I spent sometime praying that night.
Now on February 6th 2009 it was between 1 - 2 PM in the afternoon, I was home for the day with little to do except relax. I was in my bedroom listening to my Stereo next to my bedroom window. I was standing directly beside my window standing and facing my Stereo on the North Wall. My Windows curtains were tied back so I could let in light and be able to look out at our pine trees at the back fence if I wanted to. As I was enjoying my music I turned my head to look out the window when suddenly I spotted a man standing there in front of the Pine Trees in direct view of me some 12 to 15ft., away from my position and I could only see him for a split second before his whole form drifted to his right and he hid quickly behind my curtains that were tied back with a ribbon I was using. He used my curtain to hide his form. But in that split second I saw the same resemblance to the Incubus in my dreams. This time, this was real! This was not a dream and he was in my backyard in broad daylight. I was alarmed but not panicking just yet. Now not being too afraid I let that incident pass but I wrote it down.
The next day on February 7th at around 5pm I remember I felt a little drowsy and I decided to lay down and take a nap before I got up to make dinner. I remember sleeping very nicely I didn't have any bad dreams or anything alarming. But suddenly I opened my eyes and got a terrible fright in an instant. Right on top of me was a black shadow form. Just leaning over my chest from on top of me staring directly down in my face. Even though it was dark in my room I could see this man on top of me. He was as clear as anyone leaning over staring in your face while you slept. I jumped in my skin with fear at seeing this person on me. I remember jolting against the pillow and almost had a heart attack. And as I stared up at this shadow form it suddenly dissolved out of sight. I wasn't paralyzed like people may report with dark spirits being on top of them. And I could see the figure hovering directly over me.
It was frightening and I knew it was him. It was a full dark torso with shoulders and head. His whole form was well defined. I couldn't see his face or eyes it was too dark. He was just a shadow form. I couldn't see his lower body because he was either laying that on top of my abdomen and stomach or he was standing through me and the bed. Once he had dissolved out of my viewing I forced myself to remain calm and not give him anymore power with fear so I calmed myself and reclined against my pillow and letting my arms rest above my head and slighting cocky I said; "So, you found me what do you want?" I waited for some kind of response but I never heard anything. I looked over at my clock and noted the time it was 9:25pm. I then turned over on my left side and closing my eyes to begin to pray.
I got a flash of a man's eyes or the after impression of his eyes staring into mine with what seemed threatening with an fierce possessiveness. I could even see the colour of his eyes, they were greenish hazel. If this was an after impression he was burning into my face while I slept, then his face was extremely close to mine. I said prayers and asked God to protect me. I got up and went to make dinner and my stomach was aching with soreness. As if I was doing stomach crunches or sit-ups. I remember telling my Mom in the Kitchen what happened.
A few days later I remember still wondering what he wanted, since he really didn't hurt me and some words kept popping up in books and even online when I would surf around the words; "I Found You"; kept appearing to me. Oh and I never play with Ouija Boards or Tarot cards. I'm too spooked of Ouija Boards to touch one.

On October 13th 2008, I had the first dream of this incubus and in it he was performing sexual sadomasochistic acts on some women who desired it. He even killed one in the process. When he had finished with them it was like he was the nicest guy to talk to. I have no idea why I would be seeing this but he began hanging out with me like a friend. I was even shocked about his change in mannerism and mentioned to him; "You seem nice though." And he shook his head a little and with a wicked grin he corrected me with; "Friendly". Even though I did see the kind of wickedness he did, I tried to be friendly myself and said; "Even so, for some reason I like you still." But perhaps I should never have said that to this Incubus? As the dream progressed to my alarm he was walking me home at night. I was becoming afraid because I began to fear that at any moment he could suddenly try to hurt me. I wanted to get away from him somehow. Just then a blast of lightning came down from the night sky behind me from the East, and struck the spot where the Incubus was standing. However he leapt back about 10ft. Quickly avoiding the bolt. I watched this with surprise as the Incubus ran away to take cover somewhere. Suddenly to my right side came down three Angels in white, they looked alike.
They were armed with various weapons that threw lightning bolts and they looked beautiful and dangerous. I didn't want to get caught up in any supernatural Angel/Devil fighting so I turned to my left and was about to hurry out of the way when one of the three Angels grabbed my right arm, slightly below my elbow, stopping me in my tracks. I turned to look at the one who grabbed me and he was looking at me sternly and said; "Come on..." Something inside me told me not to say a word and just "Obey". So I followed his command and walked over to the three Angels and the one who had grabbed me turned around and instructed me to climb onto his back or at least take hold of it. I obeyed and was transported away from that Incubus and later found myself in some airport terminal or some kind of public place. I get this cell phone call and when I answer it, it's the Incubus and he's yelling at me; "Why did you go with them?" I remember saying; "I didn't think arguing with Angels was wise." Does he think he's my boyfriend of something? Anyhow that was the end of that dream.
Now around January 9th 2009, the second dream I had of this Incubus was where he threatened me. In the dream I found myself at night standing at the side of a main street close to where I live at around 4am. There were no cars in sight because of the hour, and I think I was about to cross the street or I was waiting for someone. When I see this billboard advertising a concert coming up that I really wanted to get tickets to. Anyhow, I'm so excited about getting tickets I turn and want to rush back home and suddenly I'm face to face with the same Incubus from the last dream I had in October. But this time he's dressed a little nicer. Like he was ready for a romantic date. He's looking at me with delight and almost romantically and was just standing there on the sidewalk not saying anything at first. But I brush him off and rushed away actually taking flight on my own without the aid of angels this time. And I'm flying away heading back toward my home through the neighbourhood when I hear him yelling; "Hey wait; what about-- Just you wait (he said my full name)... I'll FIND YOU!" He was so angry that I blew him off like that. But I didn't have time or interest in meeting up with him again.
I remember wanting to loose him in case he could follow me because I didn't want him finding out where I lived. So I swoop down toward the tree line to fly through the treetops and just then, he had thrown something that hit the palm of my left hand and clung to it like the sticky side of a "Post it". I couldn't get it off so I tried flicking my hand several times to detach it while I was in flight. I entered the dense tree line and could feel all the leaves as I flew through them easily. I thought that I was able to scrape off the tag or whatever he had attached to my hand. I didn't feel it right away as I finally came to my home street and came out of the trees to land on my front porch and I went inside and just then woke up but the feeling of something still attached to my hand remained. I could still feel the tag stuck to the palm of my hand. I was spooked it was around 2:00am and I began praying.

Bright light zipped straight down, then stood still at about 10 feet off of the ground
I was traveling south on I-5 at about 6:00 PM on a Sunday evening in the fall of 1977. It was still daylight, and I was on the northern outskirts of Salem, Oregon. At that time this area was farmers' fields and small forested areas. The traffic was light.
As I drove, a bright light appeared in the sky to the southeast at about 1000 ft high. It zipped straight down, then stood still at about 10 feet off of the ground to the left side of the northbound lanes.
As I came parallel to it in my south bound lane, it zipped in front of my car remaining at the ten foot height off the ground, and about 50 feet in front of my car. It was about 2 feet in size and remained there for about 5 seconds.
It then zipped off to the right and came up behind my car staying at the 10 foot height about 30 feet behind. Again, it stayed for about five seconds. Then it zipped south again about 50 feet in front of my car.
After about 5 more seconds of hovering, it took off at a 45 degree angle into the sky. I have never seen anything move as fast as this light or remain so still when not moving. I have traveled that stretch of highway a lot. Usually all I see are red-tailed hawks.

China: Morphing UFO seen in Taiyuan, photos
On 6 June at around 6pm a Mr Goa was driving through the Chinese city of Taiyuan near the Yi-Fen bridge when he saw a UFO hovering in the sky above him. Mr Goa pulled up at the side of the road and observed the object for around 40minutes. He managed to take a number of photos (below) with his mobile phone.
Mr Goa noted that the object changed shape from a diamond to an orb and while it generally stayed in the same area it swung from side to side before shooting up into the sky. At one point Mr Goa alleges that the UFO had a faint halo. Mr Goa handed his pictures in to the local astronomy station. He believes he witnessed an extraterrestrial vehicle.
China generally has more reported UFO sightings than any other country on earth and it is believed that the Chinese Government takes a keen interest in the topic.

Singing Till The End
Here's another story from same school I studied at in high school. This one happened to my best friend in our auditorium.
My best friend is a member of the Thespians Club. I'll call her Irene here. They held plays in our school auditorium every August, which is the month given to them by the school administration, to celebrate the founding of their organization. They also supervise any other skits or plays to be shown on stage for any other organization that's going to celebrate their week/month. She was the vice president of the Thespians Club, and officers of the club normally stay late in school to prepare for plays. This particular thing happened to her one late afternoon while preparing for a play to be shown by the Kung Fu Club.
Our auditorium has red curtains with wide stage. It's really beautiful but if you look backstage, it's a war. There are a lot of props and costumes left off by other organization's that performed plays and other shows. All the trash are left here in any case some other group might need such a prop or costume and they were really not kept that orderly even with much work from the Thespians Club.
Irene and the president of the club, which I would call Rachel, stayed late to prepare for the said play. They asked all the other members to go home due to the time. And since Irene's parents are abroad and Rachel only leaves a few blocks away, they can come home late unlike the other students.
Irene and Rachel worked on fixing the props and the set for the upcoming play when Rachel felt that the auditorium was so silent. So she went upstairs to the Audio Room and played some local music. She rested there for a few moments when the song "Beautiful Girl" played. It's a local song here in the Philippines sung by Jose Mari Chan.
While the song played, Rachel looked down to the stage and she saw a girl in the middle of the stage. Rachel got curious, as she knew that only she and Irene are the only ones left in the auditorium, so she thought this was one of the performers doing a last minute rehearsal. So she watched as the girl stood there, motioning everywhere, as if she was singing the song Rachel was playing. She was wearing a very long white and pale purple dress. Then a thought suddenly struck her. Why would this girl lip-sync to the song when the Kung Fu Club's play is about the history of the said Martial Art. Where would the song fit in the play?
Curious. She stopped the song midway. The girl suddenly stood still. Rachel never removed her eyes on the girl. Then the girl looked up to Rachel through the glass of the Audio Room. Though the girl is really pretty, Rachel noticed how sad and pale this girl looks like. The girl just continued staring at her and Rachel also kept on looking at her. Rachel did not notice for how long this lasted, when she suddenly noticed that Irene was dragging a wall partition for the set up directly right through the girl. Rachel shouted at Irene, and the latter looked up with confusion on her face. Rachel told Irene, "You're going to squish her!"
Irene looked around and asked who Rachel is referring to. When Rachel tried to point the girl, the girl is already gone. Rachel quickly went down to the stage and asked Irene if she saw the girl in a white and purple dress. Irene said no, said that they were the only ones left there as the janitors asked her to lock up the auditorium as they are going to clean the gym. Just to be safe, Rachel still asked Irene to help her to look for any possible student left and might be trapped in the auditorium but they found no one.
Irene and Rachel told us of this story right after the Kung Fu Club's presentation. One of our friends said that it might be a ghost but Rachel does not believe so. Well, we graduated never finding out about it either.
My children and I moved into a house built in 1903, in Lancaster, Ohio. The year was 1985 when my 5 year old daughter began talking about a girl who was in her room. We lived in the upstairs apartment and another family lived in the downstairs so I suspected one of the kids downstairs had once again gotten into the house to play with my kids.
A full search of the house proved that no one but our family was in our apartment but my daughter insisted that the girl had been in her room. As time went on my daughter began to tell me that this girl would pinch her or hurt her and even show me the red mark on her arm to prove it.
My sister in law came to me one day to tell me my daughter was playing tea party with a friend and I laughed. She grabbed my arm and said quietly but firmly that the "friend" was real. I laughed again but she grasped my arm so hard this time that I had no choice but to go where she dragged me.
She was adamant that I listen and watch the tea party in progress and I did just that. I looked at her and asked what the problem was and she demanded this time that I keep my eyes on my daughter's mouth and listen for some time to be sure I heard it too. I asked what she heard and she said there was another voice, not my daughter's, but was also a young girl's voice.
I let out a large sigh and said, "Is that all!?" I said, "She does different voices all the time."
My sister in law wasn't having any of it and looked at me with consternation saying, "Don't you think I've heard all of them too?"
Well, at about that moment my daughter began serving tea and talking to all the dolls and stuffed animals she'd set up around her in a circle. My sister in law pointed out the large vacant space but I shrugged and just said, "Oh, she's got an imaginary friend, that's all!", and I laughed. She, however did not and gave me a look which took me aback.
She said my daughter might need an exorcist and seemed dead serious about this. I began to laugh but stopped in the middle of it when I clearly heard the voice of another girl in the area where my 5 year old was holding high tea. That's when I began to watch my daughter's face intently to see if this might be a voice I'd never heard before. I knew full well she had a limited repertoire when it came to voices. Still, who knew if she'd invented yet another.
The first time I heard this "other" voice I could not clearly see my daughter's face but the second time I heard it I did and she didn't even have her mouth open. I looked at my sister in law and she at me and I said, "What? She's a ventriloquist?"
She said rather sternly, "I don't think so? What are you going to do about it?"
I said, "What do you mean what am I going to do about it?"
She said, "You have to do something, your daughter is having tea with someone we can't see but whom we can hear very well."
Frankly I was still in shock at what I just heard and I was trying to get my mind around this. To my mind there had to be a reasonable explanation but I just hadn't thought of it yet. My sister in law said if I wasn't going to do anything she was and she grabbed my daughter by reaching over the threshold of her bedroom door without stepping inside. In one fell swoop she yanked my daughter out of the room and grabbed my arm saying we were all going outside for a very long walk.
Once outside and off the property of the house I asked her what in the world just happened in there. She asked me to tell her what I remembered. I told her what I've just told you here and she said, "Yup, that's about it!"
I said, "No, tell me what you saw and heard!", and she said, "I saw and heard the same things you did."
We must've walked eight or more blocks before we realized we didn't want to return to a dark house. My daughter began preschool and my sister in law and I talked about how to handle this. She suggested I take a walk to the top of the hill and talk to the local catholic priests.
I felt it more important to play along with my daughter, as if the girl was real, and ask my daughter what she looked like. Not knowing what to call them she described button up shoes which I'd only seen as a very small child myself. She described how the girl put them on and took them off by saying she used a hook. Indeed this is how these are worn but again, I hadn't thought of this since I was very small watching grandma put her's on.
My daughter remarked how the girl hated wearing them since they hurt her feet and ankles very much. she said they rubbed her skin raw. Days later I remembered seeing such marks on grandma's feet and ankles when I was young and she was still wearing her's. My daughter knew the exact places where such shoes rubbed the feet and ankles and I know very well that she couldn't have known this.
She kept saying how the girl hated the "high collars" as she called them and the sleeves that buttoned up to the elbow. The girl said they were tight and very uncomfortable.
My daughter, a connoisseur of tights at that time, took note of the girl's knit stocking and asked where she'd gotten them. The girl said her mother had made them, as would be the custom at the turn of the century. The girl said they were scratchy and hot. My daughter asked what wool was and told me that the girl's stockings had been made of wool. Indeed, I had been taught as a very young girl by grandma that they were made from wool. Grandma explained how some wool was better and softer than others. I'd never spoken of this to my daughter.
The girl had long curly red hair which my daughter was envious of. She also had a large red velvet bow which held it back. Again this is a hair style from the turn of the century.
She said the girl was very pale, very white complexioned and coughed a lot. She said she'd asked the girl if she felt well and the girl said she'd been very ill with a fever. She told me that the girl said she was nine years old.
So, we had turn of the century dress, hair style, and shoes, so my next step was to locate official records about any deaths which might have occurred in that house and records to show when the house had been built. It was a fascinating journey reading the old plat maps and the death register. It was very sad reading name after name of young girls and boys who died from fevers, head pain, and countless other maladies. Even older people who died were not very old but mainly in their 60's.
Finally I located the lot on the plat map and this lead me back to real estate records which told me the surname of the owner at the time it was built. From there I followed the trail of owners and made note of each and everyone of them up to the present day. Back reading the death record I knew what surnames to look for then.
In 1903 a young girl by the name of Ida Mae Skinner died of infection caused by accidental shooting. At the local library I was able to locate old newspaper articles about the whole ordeal which was fascinating to read although sad. She was just a teenager when 10 days after being shot accidentally, she died in the living room upstairs which was probably her bedroom. In 1985 it was our living room. Needless to say this girl was not the one my daughter had become friends with.
She began saying the girl changed into a skeleton and would fly right through the window. One day after that I heard my son screaming for me to come quick as my daughter had opened the window and was trying to go out it. There were no screens in them! Needless to say the windows got nailed shut after that. My daughter insisted that the girl had opened the window and I knew all too well that it took some strength to get one of them open.
While my daughter was at school I took the time to talk to the young girl who was obviously there to tell her that we loved my daughter very much and didn't want her hurt. I told her to leave or to leave my family alone or I'd have to get the catholic priests involved in it. I told her to go to god since she was obviously dead. My daughter knew nothing of this and neither did my sister in law.
Once my daughter came home she said the girl said I was mean and that my daughter should come with her. My daughter said the girl turned into a skeleton and circled around in the room before another greenish-grey entity with red eyes came to chase her out the window. She said the girl was terrified of this entity. My daughter said she wasn't scared by any of it but felt bad for the girl. She was scared of this thing catching her.
I told my daughter that when the girl tried to hurt her just to say she was going to call that entity in to come after her if she didn't quit hurting her. It worked!
After that my daughter would say from time to time that the girl was making noise and waking her up. My son said there was giggling over the partition in their room and she clearly had another girl over there! I asked my daughter if this was true and she said the girl and she would talk about things that made them laugh.
My son began saying that someone was pinching him and it hurt. He said he didn't see who was doing it. When I investigated it I could see that he should've known who was doing it. He said it was a girl with red hair when he got a good look at her. He said she was very fast. We'd hear running up and down the hall along with tumbling but I suspected it was coming from downstairs.
They complained to the landlady that it was coming from upstairs. I suspected they just wanted to be mean to get us kicked out. My sister in law and I kept watch in the hallway several nights and noted the times it began and stopped. Usually it went on clear up until about 3 AM each night.
Finally we went to the landlady with this information to tell her we were not to blame. She said she would just rather evict both tenants in both apartments. Fearing she would do this we had a talk with the downstairs tenants. They had heard the running and tumbling for some time, even before we moved in!
I began checking city directories to see how many tenants had lived in that house and the time span they'd lived there. Over the course of over 15 years there'd been as many new tenants. No one ever stayed a full year in that house in either apartment after the original owners sold it. From there it became a duplex, one up, one down. I could not locate any of the previous tenants to verify one way or the other why they moved so quickly.
An 80 year old neighbor across the street filled me in. Past tenants said there'd been ghosts in there. In all we experienced four ghosts. The teen, the nine year old girl, a 50ish man who drug one leg through our hallway all the time, usually at night, and a young robust man. We'd catch glimpses of the young man, the teenage girl and one day before we moved out entirely after six years of hell in that house, we saw the nine year old leave a blur in color of herself as she darted between I and a friend of mine in the hallway. She headed for the kitchen. My friend was utterly shocked.
My daughter began yelling that the girl said she was going to push a pan off the stove. I laughed and saw it was a heavy pan which sat squarely on the stove burner. Besides that there was about a two inch wall on the side of the stove. We all watched it move seemingly by itself to the edge of the stove, come up over that short wall, and fall to the floor.
We all looked at one another and my daughter screamed again that the girl was heading for my crockery bowls sitting about six inches from the edge of the countertop. When I began to see them move towards the edge, again, seemingly by themselves, my daughter ran to save them from falling to the floor.
She yelled at the girl that she no longer wanted to be friends with her because she was a very bad girl. I praised her for being straight with the girl and telling her like it was. My daughter was like a little rooster when you got her angry. We knew the girl ghost hadn't a chance.
There were other things the girl ghost did which horrified the neighbor boys. Late one night when there wasn't much light outside they came around our side of the house heading for our door to ask for something for their grandma next door. When they did knock on the door they were absolutely terrified. They said they'd seen my daughter outside at the back corner as they came around it. She hissed at them like a cat and growled like one too before they noticed her eyes were glowing red in the dark! I'm glad I didn't see it myself.
We all knew my daughter was in the apartment upstairs the entire time and that whoever they saw was not her. This terrified them even more. They went home to tell their grandparents about this. Both residences, their grandparents and our house shared the young male ghost. Through the newspaper articles I discovered he'd lived in their house when he was alive. His dad, a renowned doctor in his time, had once owned and run his doctor's business out of our house.
We later found his "shingle" in the basement of our house. Through a series of circumstances I discovered why the young man was in our house. When I wore my hair up, I was the spitting image, of the teen girl who'd died in the front room upstairs. In those days it was the duty of a true friend to honor the last wishes of the dying. The young man loved the teen girl very much from all accounts. The horror of that age was being buried alive. So, then, this accounts for the young man's behavior at seeing me alive and well. He thought I was her.
I woke up late into the night one night with large hands squeezing my throat. When I tried to fling myself up to get away from this I was held fast. I had to fight my way out of the covers and discovered that my pillow had been placed underneath my back below my neck.
It wasn't until many years later when I discovered how the last wish of the dying was carried out, to make sure they were indeed dead before being buried. What of the covers being tucked in tightly all around me up to the neck with my arms to my sides? This is how they set the body before rigor set in to where the body could not be posed for viewing. What about the pillow? Again, this was done in order that the corpse looked as natural as possible. Laying flat in a pine box in the normal state without help to hold the neck forward meant that the jaw would be pushed down towards the chest. Problem solved by setting the body with the pillow just below the neck.
when I fought my way out of this choking to flip the light on to have a look at my neck I saw large finger marks on my throat. While fighting my way out I heard a man scream in horror. Thinking back on this I laugh ... the young man thought the girl he loved, whom he'd seen die, had somehow come back to life. Here he was choking her as her last wish and ... well you know the rest, lol.
Poor guy! I finally had a long talk with this guy that night and showed him the calendar along with bills with the date on them. I explained what year it was and who I was. Although I could not hear him audibly I could hear him in my mind telling me this couldn't be so.
He showed me outside the bathroom window that there were large low barns which held horses and carriages. It was fascinating to see all this as he showed it to me. The bathroom wasn't a bathroom at the time he was living and I could even see the inside stair well which I'd never known was there before. Later on I verified that this did indeed still exist below our bathroom closet.
I asked the young man if he knew anyone who'd died already and asked him to think about them. I saw a very bright light in my mind and he saw it also. He said it was OK and seemed to be content to go into it. I was glad to get to go back to bed at least for a few more hours. I didn't sleep but kept going through the entire experience in my mind for hours trying to figure it all out.
I learned more about the young man from the woman who was living in the house where he'd once lived, across the alley. She was Pentecostal, and to me this was a bit out there, but we discussed the young man's coming and going in their house and our's. She'd talked to the young man as if he was one of the family.
Then another man seemed to be coming in too. This one was older from the sound of his walking and the sound of dragging one foot. One day I laughed because I could fill in the blanks of who he was. I knew how he got that way, an industrial accident. He'd once lived in our house. He often made himself known by opening our dead bolt lock and door no matter what time of year it was and leaving it open. He'd then come up the stairs clomping his heavy boots the entire way. He walked heavy through the upstairs hallway at night too.
I and the neighbor laughed at this. One day she told me she knew why this man came to her house also. The doctor lived next door even during this man's time in our house. In other words, it was the doctor next door who was treating him! Mystery solved.
You can imagine the times we had with all four of these ghosts in that house. Some were hilarious like the time my sister in law asked me how I got into the kitchen without her seeing me when I'd just come out of the bathroom down the hall and gone into my bedroom. She'd been standing in the hall the entire time and I couldn't have gotten past her without being seen.
When I said I was in the kitchen the entire time she told me not to speak to her again and slinked into the living room which was her room at the time. She sulked there for some time before finally telling me what she'd seen. I told her a quick goodnight and good luck before acting like I was heading for my own room at the other end of the house. I laughed at seeing her face but sensed I should get her into a better mood before I left that room. I told her to sleep with the light on if it made her feel better. She did.

High rate of speed that could not be any plane
I had just laid down on my hammock and noticed what at first I thought was an incredibly high flying bird, but instantly I realized that it was an object moving dead north at about 10 thousand feet, easy to verify, as it was just below very high ceiling clouds.
I started to track it then, and I started to count off seconds. It was visible moving at such a high rate of speed that it could not be any plane. I estimated how far I could see it before it disappeared, and am sure that it went out of view by the "horizon" about where Watertown, NY, is, which is about 30 miles north of my camp.
It never changed elevation, speed, or course, and was out of sight in about 5 seconds. About 5-10 minutes later, I settled back down when I noticed another similar object moving at exactly the same elevation and course, and I accurately started timing this one and it took 5 seconds plus or minus, before exiting my view.
However, this one changed about 15 times alternating equally spaced from visible to invisible, the objects were clearly below the clouds as it continued on a dead north course. The second object kept disappearing throughout its travels. At first I was simply amazed at how fast and laser-like the trajectory was, but the second one made me feel very uneasy watching a hard, black object disappear and reappear.

Doppelganger Classmate
Back in highschool, I studied in an exclusive Catholic school for girls in San Juan. A lot of unexplained happenings have happened there, not only to me but to my friends and classmates as well. I'll try to give justice to all their experiences and mine as well by sharing with you our stories. But I'll tell our stories one by one as they might be long. Sorry if they would be long or not properly explained like all my other stories.
I'll tell you first about my own personal experience. This was back in second year, and I was sitting in our classroom. Seat plans are always arranged alphabetically, so I always get to sit in front due to my last name. And in this year, I am seated just right next to the door, the teacher's door. All classrooms in this school have 2 doors, 1 in front (for teachers) and 1 at the back (for students). It happened on our subject called 'Vacant'. This is a 40-minute subject that we have wherein we can do anything we want to do as long as its in the classroom, with our adviser watching over us. We can sleep, do assignments, make projects, chat and the works. This is one rare subject that the school gives us to relieve stress from students.
Anyway, I was writing away on my paper. I have a formal writing due later that afternoon and I was not able to do it at home due to a power issue in our neighborhood. While I was writing, I saw in the corner of my eye that someone is walking outside, approaching our room. Since I was near the door, I can easily see anyone walking past. Anyway, when I noticed the coming person, I looked at her sideways so basically I have a view of her shoes, socks and skirt. I immediately thought, "Oh, its Rica (not her real name)." I knew because of her shoes. Rica is popular in school because she has a real nice voice and she sings the National Anthem and school hymn every morning, and I always admire the shoes she wear (she always wears different pairs of shoes every week).
So I just continued back with my work, and in the corner of my eye, I saw her walk past the room until she's out of my peripheral eyesight range.
Just a few seconds of her disappearing from my peripheral eyesight, my adviser called her by her first name. I just kept writing while my adviser asked Leah (again not her real name), one of my classmates, to wait for her by the students door. My adviser needed something to be brought to the principal. Everyone at the back waited for her to appear on the students door but no Rica came into view. So Leah tried to run after her. Leah, being our a top sprinter in class, should be able to keep up with her as there are no other classrooms after ours. Just another corridor of doors leading to biology and chemical laboratories, typing lab and computer lab.
Leah came back after a few minutes with a confused look on her face though. She said that nobody was along the corridors. She also peeked on each laboratory room to see if anyone is in there but all laboratory rooms were vacant. And there was no one there, absolutely no one, walking that corridor.
My adviser was confused. She swore she absolutely saw Rica walk past the teacher's door. I told her I saw her too, but not her face. I knew it was her because of her shoes. I described the pair of shoes I saw to her and my classmates and everyone agreed it was Rica's.
We were still debating whether it was Rica who walked past when Rica suddenly peeked from the teacher's door and asked for our adviser. We were all stunned at her and she noticed, and started to ask why. My adviser asked if she just walked past our corridor and Rica said that she came from the Student Council's meeting. The meeting started right after flag ceremony which was an hour ago. And that's the reason why she's there, because our principal needed to speak with our adviser.
We were all really confused, including my adviser. My adviser and I were sure we saw Rica walk past the door. I'm not sure what we saw that day, but it sure was not scary. Just really confusing. Was it possible our eyes were just playing a trick on us?

Website records of UFO sightings over North Petherton
The blog site, called UK-UFO.com, lets people record experiences of encounters with unidentified flying objects and lets other people comment on these posts.
Steve Sims, of Taunton, wrote about a run-in with glowing lights he saw in the sky on May 30.
Mr Sims, aged 28, said he saw orange fireballs flying through the sky while his partner drove down the M5 past the North Petherton junction.
He said: "I noticed a series of at least seven bright lights in the sky.
"I initially thought that it was Orion and that it was just very visible and low in the night sky but as we got closer it became apparent that the lights were red and moving and that they were at least four times brighter than any of the other stars that were in the sky."
Mr Sims at one point believed the lights to be planes coming into land, but realised they were too close together, too bright and too low to the ground.
"Also these were individual and constant balls of red light not flashing at all like the landing lights of a plane," he said.
"I wound down my window, as I thought that planes or helicopters that close together and at that height from the ground, - about twice the height of a tall electricity pylon - would definitely be audible even over the noise of the engine. However, they were silent.
"Then I noticed that the three lights at the end of the formation furthest away from the car had moved into a perfect triangle formation and continued in this formation.
"We were travelling in the opposite direction to the objects and as they fell behind the car, they seemed to move over the road behind and then rose slightly and disappeared into the night sky."
Mr Sims said, despite travelling this road two or three times a month, he has never seen anything like this in the area before.
A poster from Taunton, known only as M Hill, commented on this story, saying they saw three "fireballs" flying through the night sky on the same evening.
The user's comment said: "I live in Taunton and was outside my house at about 11pm. I looked up at the sky as it was a clear night and suddenly saw an orange or red ball of light which looked like a fireball.
"At first I thought it was a firework going up into the sky, but then realised it wasn't going to explode.
"I then thought it could be a comet or a helicopter, but there was no noise at all. I stood and watched it travel right over my house and then disappear out of my line of sight.
"I then turned around to see if there were anymore and a second light appeared and did exactly the same thing, then a third appeared and again the same thing happened. The lights were approximately the height that a helicopter would travel, but there was no noise.
"The lights all appeared to be travelling at an equal distance apart. I too thought it was unusual as I have never seen anything like it before."
