A panorama of people-puzzlers featuring this flying “crop circle stencil” that turned out to be a sensor for an educational institution’s geological survey. One Cornwall resident claimed “It’s a Devon spy balloon,” from Cornwall’s neighboring county—coincidentally the home of the survey’s sponsor, the University of Exeter. North across the Bristol Channel, UFO Spotters Reveal Full List of ‘Official Sightings’ over North Wales Last Year. “UFO Identified” aims to separate truly mysterious cases from ones amenable to “terrestrial explanations,” and uses Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) sightings data. Neither the Cornwall object nor the next one would pass UFO Identified’s “official unexplained sightings” muster, but a Bizarre Sight over Sydney Stuns Onlookers: ‘What is it?’ The Harry Potter movies’ “dementor” certainly seems a good match for what is a “fairly extreme” scud cloud, as Martin Singh of Monash University identifies the New South Wales, Australian phenomenon. And speaking of MUFON, the ‘Mutual U.F.O. Network’ Investigates Sightings in Northeastern Pennsylvania. While these objects don’t look particularly strange, in the wake of February’s “balloon downings” local media are treating such sightings with some seriousness. (WM)
