Mysterious drone swarms over a US military base, a dog spotted atop the Great Pyramid of Giza, and a curious ‘doorway’ seen in a Google Maps image of Antarctica were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
A different kind of UFO story made headlines this past week when it was revealed that Langley Air Force Base in Virginia had been plagued by swarms of mysterious drones that appeared over the site for 17 consecutive nights last December. The curious incursions of unidentified craft were worrisome enough to the military that the matter was passed to the White House where officials grappled with how to respond to the weird ‘visitors’ believed to be from China or Russia. Maddeningly, most of the proposed methods for dealing with the swarms were dismissed due to logistical or legal issues, and, eventually, the drones simply stopped appearing in the skies over the base.

This past week saw stories featuring several videos of rather strange real events that unfolded around the world. First, in India, a security camera filmed the moment when a couple on a scooter came upon a monstrous lion in the middle of the road, sending the pair running for their lives. Meanwhile, in Ohio, the dashcam of a police cruiser documented cops tangling with a massive inflatable pumpkin that had broken free from a front lawn and rolled into traffic. Lastly, a paraglider cruising through the sky over the Great Pyramid of Giza captured footage of a dog that had somehow made its way to the very top of the sizeable ancient structure.

Perhaps the strangest story of the week centered around a Google Maps image of Antarctica featuring a weird anomaly that resembles a doorway. The puzzling picture spread like wildfire online with many offering fantastic theories for what the peculiar shape could be. Among the more memorable suggestions were the entrance to an alien base, a glimpse of a secret government facility, or even a portal to another dimension. Sadly, these proposals proved incorrect as multiple glaciologists who examined the photo indicated that the ‘doorway’ was merely an iceberg that had gotten stuck in the continent’s frozen tundra.
