This Week's Weird News 11/11/22 – Fox Sports Radio
An enormous tunnel discovered beneath an ancient temple in Egypt, a house fire possibly caused by a meteorite, and a ‘time traveler’ spotted in a 1977 Elvis television special are among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this week.
A pair of discoveries from the ancient world made headlines this past week, starting in Egypt, where archaeologists studying the ruins of a historic city discovered a tunnel that measures a staggering 4,200 feet in length. Located beneath a temple, the peculiar passageway is believed to have been part of an elaborate aqueduct system, but some have suggested that it may also lead to Cleopatra’s lost tomb. Then, in Israel, researchers announced the discovery of the oldest written sentence in humanity’s first language. The historic message was found on an ancient comb and wishes the user good luck in fending off lice.

This past week saw two strange stories involving odd objects falling from the sky, beginning with a case in California wherein it is suspected that a meteorite may have caused a house fire. Homeowner Dustin Procita says that the mysterious inferno was preceded by an inexplicable bang from something striking his residence and, as firefighters fought the blaze, several residents arrived on the scene to say that they had seen a fiery object descending overhead just prior to the peculiar event. Later in the week, multiple witnesses in Colombia claimed to have observed a UFO fall from the sky, plunge into Lake Titicaca, and then fly away by bursting out of the water.

By far the weirdest story of the week was something of a blast from the past as it was discovered that a crowd shot from a 1977 Elvis concert featured what some suggested might be a time traveler. The eerie scene, which was found in a CBS special featuring some of the King of Rock and Roll’s final performances, shows a woman in the audience who seems to be holding a modern-day cell phone. Imaginative observers have posited that perhaps this was a person who had journeyed back to 1977 from somewhere in the future in order to take in one of Elvis’ last concerts, which does seem like something a time traveling music fan might do, though we’re guessing that the ‘cell phone’ was likely just a contemporaneous camera turned sideways.
