"constantly changing, torque-generating plasma beams" related to an exotic propulsion system.
You can't make up stuff like that...oh yeah,...you can.

I did say tentacles, and not something that rhymes with, right? ;-)
It must be a male UFO, to borrow a Three Amigos joke.

There must be something in the air, mummy dust perhaps:

Whoo-hoo!

What a very strange graphic to illustrate the story - looks just like a phallus...
But back to the sighting. The location of the sighting was described as a small lake: tried to find it on Google Earth - Jember, East Java takes you to the town. Unfortunately I could not find it. Anyone else try?
I also tried to find the Argentinian 'UFO' lake but could not find that one at all.

The cases mentioned in the —somewhat brief— article are part of the flap that occurred in the zone of Minas Gerais in the late 60s and 70s. People referred to the UFOs as the 'Chupas' because victims reported that the lights or crafts sent tiny pencil-like rays or lights that caused the loss of blood (documented by a medical physician) and left burns or puncture-like marks in the skin.
We also have to remember that Brazil was a military dictatorship at the time, so maybe initially they were concerned that the phenomena was linked with rebel guerrillas or something.
Anyway, not only did the Brazilian Air Force gathered testimonies and sketches from the witnesses, they also photographed the UFOs.
Minas Gerais, we should remember, is also the place of the famous Varginha case, when 3 little girls claimed to have encountered a scary being with brown skin and big red eyes. It was said that the bing was captured by the Fire department and later sent to an AFB; so I don't really think Brazil Intel stopped investigating UFOs in the 80s, but much much later.
Brazil, BTW, is not alone in South America concerning official investigation of weird phenomena. Chile's Air Force has also investigated UFOs. In Chilean UFOlogy, one of the most famous cases involved a group of soldiers, and the abduction of the corporal Valdez.
South American Ufology is fascinating.

Visionary art is not new — see Bosch, Blake, Redon and others — but in Western society before the 1960s, it was the province of isolated individuals. Then LSD became widely available, and anyone could have mystic revelations for the small price of a little pill.
...Sheesh! The guy who wrote this is a moron. He didn't intend to go past the surface of the 'goofy use of drugs' to create 'weird illustrations'.

“It’s a little like trying to reconstruct a life from a credit card statement. There’s a lot you can tell, but a lot that remains obscure,” Ghirardo says.
How weird is it, that the same skills used by data miners of today to steal your identity —by studying your discarded credit accounts— are also useful to distinguished scholars.
You only need a couple of centuries to give any profession a good rep ;-)

Is anyone getting a large space between news links with comments underneath? It didn't show up on my macbook, it all segued perfectly, but it does show on the pc at work. I'll fiddle with the html for a solution (and give tech-guy Dave a few grey hairs).
Let me know. It's all a work in progress, to make the news briefs more orderly like a zen garden, without losing those witty one-liners Greg pioneered.

They appear grouped in a series of 3, 4, 5 & 5. Was that intentional?

I do believe Rick is attempting to subliminally influence readers with his 'Pythagorean Stutter Theorem'.
The problem seems to be that the one-liners have been entered after a carriage return, thus screwing with the list format. I could fix it, but I'm not sure if I should interfere with Rick's plans for global domination.
Kind regards,
Greg

I was aiming for the Fibonacci sequence, but I can't count.
What I was hoping to do was one line for the news link, and the odd witty one-liner beneath. But instead it just screwed up the Daily Grail time/space continuum. In other words, if the format ain't broke, don't try to make it fancier.

The cameraman's "light" was the same shape as the object I photographed in Scotland in 2004, in broad daylight -- funnily enough on American "Independence Day." :-o
I wrote about the event, and the Scottish UFO phenomenon in general, in "Incident at North Berwick: The Skies Are Abuzz Over Bonnie Scotland," readable at the following link:
