An alien statue that outraged a Russian priest, a possible Bigfoot photo from a New Mexico trail cam, and a wild argument over anime that resulted in an airborne alligator were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
This past week featured several mystifying videos involving possible instances of high strangeness. In Egypt, multiple witnesses observed and filmed a curious orb that had appeared in the sky over Alexandria. Meanwhile, in Mexico, a glowing triangle was captured flying near the Popocatépetl volcano by a pair of webcams watching over the site and a home security system picked up what appeared to be a Christmas decoration coming to life. Later in the week, a trail camera in New Mexico snapped a puzzling photo of a hairy seemingly bipedal creature that some believe was Bigfoot. And, finally, a pair of solid-black UFOs floating stationary in the sky over a city were caught on film.

A pair of peculiar stories centered around sculptures made headlines this past week. First, in Russia, a weird-looking piece depicting an alien at the site of a legendary alleged UFO crash drew the ire of a local priest. Likening the faux extraterrestrial to a "demonic creature," Andrei Vasyakin penned a letter to officials demanding that the artwork be removed, though as of now it remains in place. Meanwhile, in Oregon, a mischievous prankster’s penchant for placing oversized googly eyes on public sculptures prompted a city to take to social media to discourage their antics since the alterations had cost the community $1,500 to fix. Remarkably, their plea was met with resistance from some residents who found the amusing eyes endearing.

Easily the weirdest story of the week came by way of Alaska where a fight between two brothers led to a reptile-throwing scene that prompted a call to the cops. The bizarre incident began when Tyler and Rickey Lowe got into an argument over, of all things, an anime. The weird dispute grew so heated that the pair eventually scuffled. Following the physical fight, a still-angry Tyler tossed his brother’s pet alligator out their apartment window into the snow. Incredibly, Rickey responded in kind by doing the same to Tyler’s companion crocodile and then reporting the matter to police as he fled the scene. While the alligator was eventually recovered, the crocodile remains missing and presumed dead with both brothers facing several charges from the fracas.
