A possible Ogopogo sighting, a break in the case of an iconic tree that was felled in England, and footage that seemed to show a flying humanoid in Turkey are among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
The legendary Canadian lake monster Ogopogo was back in the news this past week after a woman reported a possible sighting of the proverbial Nessie of the Great White North. While walking along the shore of Okanagan Lake, where the creature is said to reside, Natasha Chalmers noticed an unusual form emerge from the water. Although she initially suspected that it was simply a bird, when the oddity submerged and never returned, she began to suspect that it just might have been Ogopogo. Alas, Chalmers was unable to film the anomalous creature, though she did capture footage of some inexplicable waves that appeared on the water shortly after the animal vanished back into the lake.

This past week featured two cases involving rather unusual aerial phenomena being spotted in the sky. First, in Argentina, a sailor captured footage of a peculiar illumination seemingly hovering over an iconic hotel that was recently visited by the country’s president. The bewildered witness insisted that the strange glow was not a reflection as the sun was obscured by clouds at the time of the sighting and no part of the building could account for the blinding light. Later in the week, a Turkish shepherd filmed what appeared to be a flying humanoid hovering in the sky over a field where his sheep were grazing.

A pair of thoughtless acts of vandalism made headlines this past week, beginning with an unfortunate story out of Russia wherein misguided miscreants desecrated a memorial to the hikers who perished in the infamous Dyatlov Pass incident. The reprobates, whom police are understandably hoping to catch, not only scrawled words and symbols on the tomb, but also defaced a picture of one of the victims and stole a metal seal from the obelisk. Meanwhile, over in England, authorities announced that two men have been charged with last September’s shocking felling of the iconic centuries-old tree known as Sycamore Gap.
