This sensational UFO imagery has created a high level of interest. We sent it to our experts, expecting to hear back that it was a hoax. Instead, it turns out to have an 80% chance of being authentic.

The report:

The location is interesting. About 30 mi. west of Pt. Pleasant, WV. Historically that region has been a known window for bald-faced interdimensional hanky-panky going back at least a century. If this craft is real, and assuming a straight-line flight path and constant speed, it would have passed over the Pt. Pleasant area within the previous half-hour.

With that noted, here are some observations:

The image below was taken by Apollo 17 Astronaut Harrison Schmitt, one of the last men to walk on the moon. A tight triangular formation of blue lights is clearly visible on the right side of the image above the sharply upsloping rise. This is not a cluster of stars and, given the fact that it is the only thing visible in an otherwise black sky, it must have been very bright. The bright surface of the moon has washed out any starlight.

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.
