Author of “The Kelly Incident” Photographs UFO over Nevada
“There are objects in the sky that have not been identified,” says Anna Karyl, author of “The Kelly Incident,” a novel based on the true 1955 alien encounter in Kelly, Kentucky, “and I have photographed one of them. “In 2004,” the author explained, “I visited an open-air structure outside of Las Vegas and using a simple digital camera, I took photos of the architecture. Standing in the center of the structure and shooting upward through the open girder-like beams, I saw nothing at all in the sky at the time this photo was taken. But when I downloaded the photos, there was a metallic-like silver orb in the sky over the structure.”

Mysterious Booms Remain Unknown

But Steve Fiebing, a Coronado-based Navy representative, said the live-fire range on San Clemente Island was inactive April 4.

Chupacabra the Goatsucker Vampire Sightings Reported in Central Russia
For the first time in history, the mysterious Puerto-Rican Chupacabra vampire has been spotted in Russia. Reports of a beast that kills animals and sucks on their blood came from a village in Central Russia back in March 2005, when a farm had 32 turkeys killed overnight. The beast left the corpses bloodless, the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily said. Then reports came from neighboring villages, where more than 30 sheep and goats fell victim to the vampire. Again, the blood had been drained from corpses but the flesh remained intact. All the slaughtered animals had similar puncture wounds on their necks, different from the marks that wolves, dogs or lynx leave on their victims. Finally, eyewitness descriptions match the traditional description of the Chupacabra, said to resemble a kangaroo and a dog with huge teeth.
