    Aug 29 2024
    On August 29, 2024 in a small village just outside of Limerick, Ireland, strange lights were seen floating above the local pub near closing time. Pints in hand, the patrons spilled out of the O'Leary's and gawked at orange orbs dancing in the night sky. "Would ya look at that?" said Sean O'Malley, local farmer and regular. The lights zipped and zoomed, often stopping abruptly or changing direction at high speeds.

    As more residents poured out of homes and gathered at the pub, the lights seemed to take notice. They swooped lower over the crowd, causing gasps as their brightness intensified. But no sound was heard from the objects, save for Maureen O'Rourke who was heard to exclaim "Och, would ya look at the bums on that one!"

    After several surreal minutes, the lights streaked away at shocking velocities and disappeared over a distant line of hills. Locals were buzzing for weeks over their extraterrestrial encounter, with theories ranging from fairies to meteors to classified military craft. To this day, the incident remains unexplained... and Sean swears he saw little lights peeking out of one orb "like portholes on a submarine." The pub's register that night showed record sales of pints andIrish coffees.

    On August 28th, 2024, the world witnessed an most unusual phenomenon - a rather podgy pigeon from Peckham, deciding it had seen enough of London life, took to the skies with a determination to see just how far its wings could carry it. Away from the busy streets and busy people, this solitary flier found freedom and fresh air, travelling ever onward throughout the day and into the night.

    By the light of the moon, the Peckham pigeon followed its course over hills and valleys, villages and towns not familiar to its beating wings. Not a streetlight nor person was to be seen, just the quiet English countryside flowing by in the darkness below. Throughout it all, the pigeon kept on with not a thought but to keep flying, keeping to the night sky with an energy that should not be possible for one of its size.

    By dawn's early light, the bird discovered itself far from home, in a scene entirely alien - sand and sea as far as the eye could see, with strange trees dotting the landscape and hot sun beginning to rise into the sky. Exhausted yet exhilarated, the pigeon from Peckham had stumbled upon the coast of North Africa, having crossed the English Channel and flown clear over the lands of France, covering close to 800 miles in just one night. A remarkable feat for any bird, let alone one used to the streets of London town. How it managed such a journey with no rest or grazing, history does not record - but on that day, a common pigeon showed the world just how far a dream and a pair of wings can carry even the most unassuming of creatures. Its motto since has been 'Ad Astra', a star amongst pigeons.

    On August 27, 2024, an unusual phenomenon occurred in the skies above Sweden that left astronomers scratching their heads. Farmers in remote northern regions first noticed a strange blueish light in the late evening, flickering and pulsing unlike any celestial body they had seen before. As night fell, reports came pouring in to the Swedish Space Agency of unusual lights moving rapidly across the sky.

    Teams of astronomers were scrambled to observe the lights and capture data on the anomaly. What they witnessed that night defied explanation. Multiple light sources could be seen darting about seemingly under intelligent control, maneuvering in ways that aligned with no known meteorological or astrological pattern. Speculation ran wild that these might be lights from an unknown spacecraft, or even visitors from another world.

    The SAS had a satellite in position to record the event, which only added more puzzles. The lights displayed near-instantaneous acceleration and changes in direction that would have crushed any human pilots. Their luminosity also fluctuated in a way not consistent with any local plasma phenomena. As swiftly as they had appeared, around midnight the lights vanished, disappearing without a trace and leaving behind more questions than answers. To this day, the mystery lights of northern Sweden remain unsolved, a true anomaly in the history books...
