The following was posted today at the MUFON CMS. I edited some of the incorrect spelling:

Event occurred on 7/15/2001 - I'm still apprehensive to report this, I haven't said anything about to anyone until now; It was about 3am and I was traveling on 26, 31, or 33 from Idaho Falls to Jackson, Wyoming. I can't remember which now and I was just working there not real familiar to the area, in fact I was kind of lost. I barely made it to work in Jackson that morning and I was in a state of shock and a bit worried when I arrived that someone would come after me.

On my way I saw lights as I came up the road, from far off it looked like a giant ferris wheel on it's side, leaning, I thought to myself that was so odd, in the middle of nowhere, in the woods; this? but as I got closer I realized it was surrounded by vehicles, big military vehicles, white vehicles, men in haz-mat looking suits, men with guns.

It was down in a sort of small valley and the road I was on as I reached it began climb up around a mountain (headed toward Jackson) so I had a bird's eye view by this time. I slowed down, almost to a stop as I saw the ferris wheel I had seen in the distance was in fact not a ferris wheel, it was a huge space ship! It had crashed and I almost wrecked staring at it. I couldn't hear or see anything I was just in shock.

It had to have been at least 80-100 feet across, it was shaped more or less just like you see on TV, a disk shaped thing with a portal/door at the base, it had windows all around the middle of the ship, and toward the base it had colored lights. I know there was red, blue and orange or yellow.

By this time I started coming back to my senses and realized I was in danger; men began running to their vehicles and waving their arms and yelling, drawing their firearms, heading up the mountainside toward me. Needless to say I took off...pedal to the metal, no exaggeration. It would take them a minute or so to get back on the road as where they were there was only a crude rough road winding down to where the spacecraft was, so I immediately had an advantage. I barreled up the road reaching 90+ miles per hour in my Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 on a winding incline with cliff on one side and a wall of mountain on the other. Suddenly animals were running across the road and up the mountain away from the site, I kid you not; there were raccoons, deer, and all sorts of creatures just migrating away from there! I was slowing then speeding weaving in and out of these creatures, I hit the mountainside more than once and careened almost off the cliff several times. I'm telling you it was the most blood pumping thing that ever happened to me and I have been in some situations.

All kinds of things raced through my mind as I sped away from there looking in rear view mirror. Thankfully I got away. I started taking random small roads as soon as I seen them to lose a trail, and eventually through meandering all the rest of the morning I arrived in Jackson just before 8 as my shift started. I thought about what happened and my friends all told me I looked like something was wrong, I said I was just not feeling well, but what was bothering me was WHAT exactly was going on back there? Would it be in the news? Of course not. Were those men after me? Also a feeling of wonder, and excitement that I had witnessed something I called others crazy for believing in. It was really true; there IS something out there.

NOTE: Interesting narrative though I'd really like to interview this witness since there are many questions that need to be answered. The area described is south of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. If the witness happens to come across this post, please feel free to contact me...Lon

Genetically Modified Mosquitoes to Wipe Out Malaria

trendhunter - Wiping out malaria with genetically-modified mosquitoes? Sounds so science fiction to me. According to press reports, we are coming ever-closer to realizing a global effort to eradicate this disease. In the next 10 years, scientists should be able to release these transgenic mosquitoes into the wild in "specific" areas known to have high concentrations of malaria parasites. The mosquitoes have neon green eyes due to a genetic gene being inserted into their DNA and are malaria-resistant creatures. US scientists have high hopes after conducting extensive laboratory research, DNA engineering, and tests. The work was done by a US team and appears in: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal.

NOTE: a great innovation that causes another problem? Lon

Video: Leopard Attack Recorded in India

ITN - A leopard has injured seven villagers, including two minors, in northern India.

The incident took place in Bhawaria village of the state, when villagers saw the big cat roaming in nearby fields, and tried to scare it away.

The locals chased the leopard to a field and set the grass on fire to smoke out the animal.

The leopard came out of the burning field and attacked the gathered people, and ran and hid in the nearby woods.

Forest officials and police personnel have been scouting the area to capture the animal. The officials have said the leopard came from a nearby forest reserve.

Scared villagers armed with sticks and other weapons have been patrolling the outskirts of the area where the leopard was last seen.

Two-Headed Baby Born in India

According to AOL News, a TV9 news report said the boy was born Wednesday and people rushed to see him in the hospital in Tirupati, located in the southeastern part of the country.

The boy may have been part of a set of twins, and the second head may have formed after the second child stopped developing.

The video shows the baby, who may or may not be alive, before he is wrapped up by one man and handed to another.

In 2004, a baby was born in Cairo with a second head, which could blink and move its mouth. The second head, however, needed the child, Manar Maged, to survive, but it prevented Maged from sitting or crawling. Reuters reported in 2005 the child's second head was successfully removed.

Argentina Air Force Forms UFO Unit

The Argentinean Air Force's action to form a UFO investigation unit was confirmed by Sylvia Perez Simondini of the CEFORA (Argentinean Republic Committee for UFO Phenomena Studies), "an organization formed by various UFOlogy groups in Argentina. The main purpose is the declassification of all related UFO phenomena in Argentina. It was formed by serious Argentinean UFOlogists in Victoria, Entre Rios during a conference."

In a public statement, Ms. Perez Simondini says,

"The Argentinean Air Force has just announced the formation of a commission to investigate the UFO phenomenon.

"The Director of Institutional Relations of the Argentinean Air Force confirmed on Telefe Newscast that it has recorded two UFO sightings it cannot account for by normal explanations. The Argentinean Air Force further stated that the mission of the Air Force is to guard the security of Argentinean air space.

"This is a message that all UFO researchers hoped for, filling us with satisfaction to hear that this will occur.

"In our last congress, especially in the Uruguay, which was conducted fairly by the Uruguayan Air Force, at that time, I received greetings from Commodore Robert Muller, Head of the Unit II Air Brigade Paraná, from Colonel Ariel Rios Sanchez, Head of Ricardo Bermúdez CRIDOVNI of CEFAA, the sister republic of Chile, from Ademar Gevaerd Director of the Brazilian UFO Magazine, who is the coordinator of the declassification of UFO phenomenon in Brazil, in order to urge the Air Force of Argentina toward a common goal of UFO disclosure.

"CEFORA, (Argentinean Republic Committee for UFO Phenomena Studies) was created for this goal, to put Argentina on a par with many countries where UFO files have been declassified. This news gives us some hope to believe disclosure is starting, and Argentina also can get UFO declassification. It is most reasonablebe that we assume a critical attitude on our part, so we will have the security of a good and responsible scientific research.

"We see that the struggle of many researchers over the years can have the reward of seeing a dream fulfilled, and we hope that when this [Air Force] Committee is formed, it will know how to accept and discuss the work of researchers that has been made with a lot of effort, through the will and vocation of those who have been following the phenomenon for so long."

UFO Claim at Popocatepetl Volcano, Mexico

Mexico's Popocatépetl Volcano, December 26, 3:15 AM, EST

High contrast version

There has been a claim of a UFO sighted at a current active volcano...this time on the live streaming web cam focused on Mexico's Popocatepetl Volcano. Earlier on Sunday the web cam was no longer 'live' while the site displayed an image of the volcano. The image shows the date and time of the image, December 26, 2010, 17:20:18 (Mexico time). As of 3:15 AM, EST, the image is still on the site. CENAPRED web cam The unidentified object in question is in the upper right corner.

Honestly, it looks like a water spot on the lens...but the photo was posted on the internet by DNKP. Below is a current image from this morning. The anomaly is still there...so it is most likely NOT a UFO. Nonetheless, active volcanoes throughout the world have attracted UFOs in the past - Links to UFO sightings at volcanoes

Popocatepetl Volcano

Popocatepetl is one of Mexico's most active volcanoes. After almost 50 years of dormancy, "Popo" came back to life in 1994 and has since then been producing powerful explosions at irregular intervals. In the past centuries befor European invasions, large eruptions produced giant mud flows that have buried Atzteque settlements, even entire pyramids.

Volcán Popocatépetl, whose name is the Aztec word for smoking mountain, towers to 5426 m 70 km SE of Mexico City to form North America's 2nd-highest volcano. The glacier-clad stratovolcano contains a steep-walled, 250-450 m deep crater. The generally symmetrical volcano is modified by the sharp-peaked Ventorrillo on the NW, a remnant of an earlier volcano.

At least three previous major cones were destroyed by gravitational failure during the Pleistocene, producing massive debris-avalanche deposits covering broad areas south of the volcano. The modern volcano was constructed to the south of the late-Pleistocene to Holocene El Fraile cone. Three major plinian eruptions, the most recent of which took place about 800 AD, have occurred from Popocatépetl since the mid Holocene, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and voluminous lahars that swept basins below the volcano. Frequent historical eruptions, first recorded in Aztec codices, have occurred since precolumbian time.
