"Hadwin told the Sunderland Echo she used her Russian spirit guide and some angels to help rid the property of evil"

I support international cooperation in exorcisms.

They didn't mention whether it worked or not.

Also, an earthquake woke me up this morning. A 5.4 earthquake from the New Madrid Fault... not somethin that happens much here in down-home Indiana.

Apparently folks in both Logansport and Kokomo reported seeing very odd lights and hearing extremely loud booms in Tuesday night's sky. The official story is that they were just F-16s flying overhead in formation, but those are a dime a dozen in this part of the world. I'm not a conspiracy-theorist, but I don't think I buy it. Speaking from personal experience, about a year ago today, I know there's weird **** overhead that cannot be explained as F-16s.

Crazy man. I guess F-16s is a convenient explanation with Grissom being right there.

Then this one says it's meteorites!

I hope you don't live near Kokomo... you're about to become Area 51-B.

Nope, nowhere near Kokomo for me.

See, that's my point. Grissom is a very easy explanation, right? But these people have lived near Grissom for who knows how long. Don't you think they'd be used to F-16s flying in formation at night? Who knows, just thought it was interesting how quickly the official line was handed down.

Off topic, but I was visiting my mom last Spring here in Indiana and I was driving her home after dinner when I see this extremely bright light about two miles away. I didn't think much of it at first. Then I get closer to her house and the light is still in the same spot. As I'm about 1/4 mile from her house I see this thing and it's right behind her house moving very, very slowly. The thing went right above me as about to pull into her driveway. It must have been about the length of a football field and was maybe 500 feet off the ground. It was black and diamond shaped. It made no noise at all, and it made a ninety-degree turn on a dime. After it made the turn I followed it for a while as it traveled slowly and then it picked up its pace a bit. After following it for maybe 2 miles, it made another ninety-degree turn and split really, really fast. It was totally f$*%ing surreal. I'm pretty sure it wasn't an F-16.

That's insane. No offense to you at all, but I find it hard to believe. I mean, I believe your story and that you actually saw what you say you saw, but it seems like the kind of thing that I'll be skeptical about until it happens to me.

I always try to think that there's got to be some kind of explanation for it that nobody can think of. Sometimes though, like it seems with yours, there is no explanation other than the obvious one.

Don't get me wrong, I believe that in the millions upon millions of galaxies in the universe, there has got to be some kind of intelligence life other than our own somewhere out there. I just don't think it's close enough to make contact with us. Then again, who knows really.

Did you believe in that kind of thing before you saw it? I mean, do you believe that it was an alien UFO? Or just don't really know what the F was going on lol.

No offense taken. I'd think I was full of **** if I didn't see it myself. I have no idea what is was.

What blew my mind was its: 1) size; 2) shape; 3) ability to move in absolute silence; and 4) ability to make extremely fast ninety-degree turns on a dime while staying on the same horizontal plane. I like to think I'm a pretty credible witness and I've never heard my ma tell a lie in her life. But, I guess I'll never be certain what it was.

Back to the regularly scheduled "Odd news of the day."
