It’s the bubble versus the cloud. NGC 7635, the Bubble Nebula, is being pushed out by the stellar wind of massive central star BD+602522. Next door, though, lives a giant molecular cloud, visible to the right. At this place in space, an irresistible force meets an immovable object in an interesting way. The cloud is able to contain the expansion of the bubble gas, but gets blasted by the hot radiation from the bubble’s central star. The radiation heats up dense regions of the molecular cloud causing it to glow. The Bubble Nebula, featured here in scientifically mapped colors to bring up contrast, is about 10 light-years across and part of a much larger complex of stars and shells. The Bubble Nebula can be seen with a small telescope towards the constellation of the Queen of Aethiopia (Cassiopeia).

Our Spooky World: The Moving Mannequins of The Lawson House

One of the creepiest mysteries in America is that of the moving mannequins on the porch of the Lawson House.  The Lawson house is one of six houses on a block known as Main Streets Historic District in New Hamburg, New York.  It was built in 1845 by John Lawson, and is located near New Hamburgs train station.

According to historical records, .there was a massive train wreck, which occurred less than 200 ft from the property, in 1871.Twenty-two people were killed. Then, in 1877, the house was one of the only homes on the block to survive a terrible fire.

Now, for whatever reason, there are several female mannequins on the front porch.  What is especially strange is that the mannequins will change positions and clothing during the night.  Sometimes the mannequins will sit in rocking chairs, while other times they will stand facing different directions. More eerie still is the fact that they will often be seen facing towards site of the train wreck, or with their heads towards the only other historical building on the street (which is abandoned). 

No one knows who (or what) moves the mannequins, as no one has ever been spotted during the process.  Neighbors have no idea who lives in the home currently, although a kitchen light can be seen occasionally at night.  The dolls also disappear inside the house on rainy days.

UFO sightings around the Popocatepetl volcano have been overwhelming.  As a result, Maurice Mousseau in cooperation with Tercermilenio.TV decided to set up a new volcanic monitoring service which recently became operational. The real time cam monitors all the activities around the Popocatepetl volcano. You can find the volcano monitoring service Here and the real time cam Here

In 1968, the New Zealand Globster washed up on North Island in the Gisborne District. The mass measured in at 30 feet long and 8 feet tall. It was said to be covered in “sand-matted grey hair four to six inches long”. The chairman of the Zoology Department at the University of Auckland, J. E. Morton, was quoted as saying “You can rule out whales because of the hair, and you can rule out sea elephants and sea cows because of its size. I can’t think of anything it resembles”.

Triangle UFO Sighting West Virginia March 2016

A car enthusiast may have captured a triangular UFO on his dashcam, experts claimed. Grainy footage allegedly shows a faint UFO passing above West Virginia at the beginning of March.The unusual object was captured as the man, who was testing a new vehicle, drove down a state highway around 1am.

The UFO is barely visible [but] you can see some faint outlines of what look like a red coloured outline which is in a triangular shape. There are definite circular objects underneath.

UFO Sighting April 2004 - Long Island New York This very impressive image of lights was taken by a lady who is identified only as Marjorie. Early morning, she took her camera out to capture some photos of the sky. When the film was developed she was shocked to see the object above in her picture
