In 2011, an amazing mirage appeared in China, and now another one has once again created a sensation. Of course, the general media has long ago forgotten the 2011 event, but not your Out There Editor. (To see it, click here.) The new mirage was less stable than the one that appeared in 2011, but both of them are far more detailed than a normal Fata Morgana, to the extent that the most recent one has caused a flurry of internet speculation that it is a test of one secret holographic project or another.

Our friends over at Mysterious Universe find some unusual stuff, and this video of the Jersey Devil is no exception to that rule. But your Out There editor wasn’t born yesterday, and I have to say that, while the wings are really flapping, the apparition is on a near-ballistic trajectory. So those wings aren’t working very well. But then again, there are semi-flighted birds whose trajectories look about like this. Chickens come to mind.

Whatever the truth, if this is a hoax, it’s very well done. If not, then–well, you figure it out! To further tantalize you, as it did me, click here to watch a lightened and slowed version of the same video.

This one stumped MUFON investigators, and it has stumped us, too. It’s a classic night light of a type that we don’t usually bother with because its generally not possible to determine much of anything about them. This one is different, though.

It is also extremely bright, probably too bright to be a drone, but this remains an uncertainty. Graded B, Possible Unknown.

We are getting a sudden rise in close-approach UFO sightings on the Unknowncountry.com
sightings report page. We will be publishing them on a regular basis as long as they continue.

Details of Encounter: Sept. 7, 2015 I woke up around 4 am. I am an avid sky watcher at night. 
On this night I looked out of my window and to the left I saw a UFO that was 
very close to my house, it was about 200 ft. up in the air above my 
neighborhood. It was the closest sighting I have ever seen in my life. This 
UFO was about five houses down from my house, very close to me. This object 
was huge I’d say about the size of two small huts put together and in height  read more
