BRAZIL. PIAUI STATE. On Saturday, October 26, 2024, in broad daylight, a trail of fire was observed in an "iridescent cloud" in the city of Picos and surrounding area, in the state of Piauí, in the northeast of Brazil.
Iridescent means "something that reflects the colors of the rainbow".
There is at least one report recording the appearance of fire in the sky in the state capital, the city of Teserina, located 311 km from Picos.
The "fire in the sky" caught the attention of the population and was the subject of a long report on the meteorological website Climatempo, copied and/or summarized in other media, including social networks.
The phenomenon results from the refraction of incident solar rays on ice crystals suspended in thin clouds, called "cirrus".
According to the "experts", this rare phenomenon occurs when the sun is positioned 58 degrees above the horizon and in the presence of cirrus clouds, which form in the upper troposphere, at an altitude of 10,000 meters and at temperatures below 0ºC.
In these specific and uncommon conditions, the ice crystals work as prisms that decompose the white light coming from the sun, projecting the colored rays in rainbow tones.
What the "experts" do not include in their explanations is that residues of chemical substances released by certain airplanes, reacting to the incidence of this light enhanced by the ice crystals, can produce this type of combustion that generates the flames, the fire track, recorded in the video released by citizens, and not just the colored lights characteristic of normal iridescent clouds.

Fenômeno raro, 'arco-íris de fogo' é visto no céu do Piauí
AUSTRALIA. For three decades, people at Australia have been witnessing a strange phenomenon: the appearance of shadowy beings. They are known as the "Shadow People".
These "Shadow People" are usually described as ethereal silhouettes that appear human, with no discernible face and sometimes with glowing red eyes.
For thousands of years, countless stories are telling about certain shadowy beings apparitions around the world, but the occurrences in Australia are quite different from the more common cases.
In the late 1990s, The Shadow People began to appear more frequently at that country and became a popular topic of discussion among those who have experienced the apparitions.
Some claim to have seen them several times, while others claim to have seen them once.
The phenomen of the Shadow People are almost the same as ghost sightings, but the difference is that there are no reports of the Shadow People having a defined human phisical structure or wearing defined epochs clothes like, often, occurs with the ghosts.
Additionally, ghosts appear as white, gray or, eventually colored figures, while shadow people are just dark silhouettes. Other carachterisc of this visits is that such spectres try to establish some kind of contact with the humans..
Their manifestations are often described as rapid and disconcerting. Sometimes, this entities are seen as if they were solid and sometimes, ethereals, able to disappear completely, passing through solid walls.
All people who have witnessed the experience have reported an intense feeling of fear associated with the presence of these inexplicable ghostly beings.
Animals such as dogs, cats, horses or even cattle also seem to react to such beings by showing fear and hostility.
Some people also claim that at night, they see this shadowy figures are often seen standing near their beds, even in previously locked rooms and then, suddenly disappear, as dematerializing in air.
There are many reports of patients suffering trauma or heart attacks after encounters with Shadow People.
Numerous paranormal researchers and psychologists have studied the phenomenon of the Shadow People to try to discover the nature of these mysterious occurrences, without success.
THEORIES
There are several theories to explain the apparitions. One of them is that perhaps the Shadows are interdimensional or extraterrestrial beings whose plane of existence, eventualy, overlaps with our dimension from time to time.
Another theory is that the Shadow People phenomenon belong to a psychological sphere that is indirectly linked to a stressful modern lifestyle.
In most cases, the Shadows are seen out of the corner of the witness's eye, and for this reason, some researchers attribute the visions to Pareidolia, which would produce an interpretation of random light patterns that the mind understand like something already known. Or, they may be just optical illusions or, still, hallucinations that result of some mental illness.
Spiritual scholars interpret the phenomenon as a possible "echo" of spirits from past eras that somehow persist in the physical world for a long periods of time.
DEMONS
Theologians and occultists believe that Shadows may be demons that are intentionally created or transformed through negative psychic energy, black magic and other types of profane practices.
Meanwhile, exegetes (interpreters) of the Book of Revelations, the Christian Apocalypse, hypothesize that, in recent decades, the creatures of the abyss, released by the "angel of the abyss", Apolion, have been acting in the world in their essential occupation: terrorizing, influencing the behavior of the living or even "possessing" people (which would be demonic possession).

The Metsul meteorological observatory in Brazil has warned of the imminent arrival of black rain that could affect parts of Argentina, Uruguay and the national territory in the coming days, although the first contaminated rainfall has already begun to be observed in neighboring countries.
In Uruguay, this type of precipitation has already begun and users of the social network X have shared images of the black water.
ARGENTINA
At Argentina, at least 14 provinces, in the Northeast, Center and Cuyo regions, in the northwest of the country, are on alert for the arrival of these rains. Here are 10 of these provinces: Misiones, Corrientes, Formos, Santiago del Estero, Chaco, Jujuy, Salta, Catamarca, Santa Fe and Tucumán.
The statement from the Argentine Ministry of Health indicates that "a smokescreen from the ongoing forest fires in Bolivia reached the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) today (11 SEPT 2024).
SOOT
According to MetSul Meteorology (Brazil), this water is also known as soot rain. It is a material composed mainly by carbon, which originates from the incomplete burning of organic materials, such as fossil fuels (coal) and biomass (wood and agricultural waste).
When burned, these materials, instead of transforming pollution into carbon dioxide (Co₂) and water vapor, generate fine dark particles of carbon and other compounds.
Since this new formation is extremely small, with diameters on the scale of nanometers and micrometers, the particles remain in the air for long periods and can travel great distances.
The phenomenon occurs when soot and other polluted compounds in the atmosphere mix with humidity and fall to Earth carryed by rain water.
MetSul Meteorologia also reported that this type of rain is indicative of high levels of pollution and is usually recorded in industrial areas, fires or where there is intense burning of fossil fuels.
When this substance reaches the ground, it contaminates forests and places where water accumulates. In addition, it leaves a layer of dirt on the surface, visible on buildings, vehicles and other structures.
The term black rain refers to similar events, such as those that occurred in Hiroshima after the explosion of the atomic bomb in 1945, when the rain accumulated dust and soot from the atmosphere.
HEALTH-RELATED RECOMMENDATIONS
Experts state that the so-called “black rain” does not pose a direct risk to health, but it may have contracted contracts for some people.
The National Meteorological Service of Argentina (SMN) has put 14 affected provinces on alert and the Ministry of Health has issued a series of recommendations in a press release.
These measures are aimed at people with chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, allergies or other risk conditions:
Avoid smoking: this will increasing air pollution! 😱
Keep windows and vents closed.
Use the “ventilation” or “recirculation” mode on your air conditioning.
Reduce sources of indoor air pollution.
Place cloths or towels under doors and windows to prevent smoke from entering the home.
Do not light candles or fireplaces.
Be careful when driving due to poor visibility and low beams.
Wear masks that fit snugly to your face to reduce exposure to smoke and ash, especially for those who work outdoors.
Suspend outdoor activities such as walking and running.

AMAPA STATE, BRAZIL. Sunday (7) and Monday (January 8, 2024) a cloud of beetles took over the at Amapa city's streets and residences. Amapa is a small city located in northern Brazil having around 10 thousands of inhabitants.
The phenomenon scared residents who recorded the occurrence while using shovels to remove the insects from their homes and streets.
According to the Institute for Scientific and Technological Research (Iepa), the main factor for the beetles invasion is the transition from the period of severe drought to the Amazonian winter, with a greater concentration of clouds and rain.
Iepa researcher Alexandre Jordão, entomologist, insect specialist, explains that the phenomenon is not common for this class of beetles, with there being no reports of this magnitude in the state and few records in Brazil. According to Jordão, the change in climate season altered the temperature and the incidence of light, causing the infestation.
Because they have chewing mouthparts, this species of beetle does not transmit diseases to humans. In sensitive people, there is the possibility of small allergies due but there haven't been no reports of this kind of occurrence.
Iepa is carring out taxonomic identification of the species with sample collect and analysis.
THERE ISN'T DAMAGE TO AGRICULTURE
According to Adriano Luz, a technician at the Institute of Extension, Assistance and Rural Development (Rurap), who works and lives in the municipality of Amapá, the infestation should not be considered a pest capable of causing damage to plantations.
“This incidence of beetles usually happens at the beginning of winter. This year's occurrence was greater than in previous years, but it is something that will not last long. We had no reports of losses in work areas", explains Luz.

RUSSIA. Chelyabinsk Oblast. In Sosnovsky district, an area nearby forest of the village of Sadovym, for some unknown reason - appeared completely bowed, curved.
Many trees seem that have were plucked by the roots and their trunks were arranged horizontally. Some, which remain rooted although they have been affected, are still alive and keeping their growth cycles.
Photo & Video Yury Zavyalov Фото и видео Юрия Завьялова The anomaly in the woods reaches an area that reaches 150 m² (m-saquare) and its perimeter is rectangular.
Pines with 10 to 15 years, vines, poplars, alder bushes (Glutinous Alnus), all this vegetation was bent even the ground without apparent cause. The forest surrounding the area remains untouched. The phenomenon was discovered by a local historian, Yuri Zavyalov. In research about the cause of the strange formation, Zavyalov and other scholars have dismissed assumptions as extreme weather phenomena, such as a sudden pressure drop, exposure to strong winds well as the fall of some celestial body, incidence of lightning or human interference. This specific part of the forest seems to have been hit by some kind of limited energetic power. So far (July 2015), the anomalous glade is an enigma. More one unexplained phenomenon in the history of riddles of Chelyabinsk region.

UFO. ARGENTINA. URUGUAI. RIO GRANDE DO SUL state, BRAZIL. Thursday - July 30, 2015. An object, emitting an intense green light crossed the sky, at night, calling the attention of people from three countries of the South America.
The phenomenon could be observed at Argentina, Uruguay and Rio Grande do Sul - a federative state of Brazil. The UFO, very luminous seemed have a circular shape and a long tail. It was widely photographed and filmed.
In few minutes, the images and eyewitness accounts had spread over the Internet. At Brazil, there were sightings in Porto Alegre, Rosario do Sul, Novo Hamburgo, Quaraí and the Paranhana area, all cities and site located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
On Twitter, the hashtag #CieloVerde (green sky, in spanish) and the term "UFO" were amid trends from the Buenos Aires region. In some of the video, the object is accompanied by ten seconds or more. Even behind the clouds, its strong light is visible. EXPERTS But - the experts already have an explanation. The same as always. It was just a meteor or the fall of a piece of any space junk. The day that one of these space junks fall on the head of one of this specialist - then, maybe - the specialists will begin to realize that lately many, even many - brilliant things are falling from the sky. The astrophysicist at the Planetarium at UFRGS (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul) - Gilberto Klar Renner believes that the fireball was a meteor or meteorite. But Renner said that the phenomenon was unusual. Even being a meteor: It's a little different, brighter. It is a special meteor, something out of the ordinary. Not a typical sighting. Physicist Astronomical Observatory of PUCRS (Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul) - Marcelo Bruckmann, thinks the object is space junk. SOURCE

KAZAKHSTAN. KALACHI VILLAGE. The first news about "The strange sickness of sleeping", which affected the population of the small village of Kalachi in Kazakhstan, began to appear in March and April 2013, when it was established ground zero, the first case of 'sleepiness'. At the occasion ten people, with ages between 14 and seventy years old were hospitalized.
Since then until now - five hundred cases passed through the local hospital. Experts from different fields of science has been working to find the cause of sleeping sickness.
More than seven thousand laboratory tests have been done, in vain. The mystery continues. Kalachi is very close to the Russian city of Krasnogorsk where - in the past, a uranium mine was intensively exploited.
At the time Krasnogorsk had more than six thousand inhabitants. With the mine turned off in the early 1990, the place became a ghost town but without asleep citizens. While experts investigate soil, water and air in the region. Despite the newspapers announcing that the puzzle has been deciphered, people still keep falling asleep. Recently new informations and testimonies brought a new element to the puzzle. Rather than thought, the sudden sleep, which can last more than a week, does not summarizes the illness frame. The Awakened have presented sequelae. Men - upon awakening, although so weak that nor even can eat or remain standing without assistance, they have an insatiable sexual desire - that can last up to a month. Furthermore, these awake suffer from urinary incontinence, hallucinations, behavioral disorders, aggressiveness. Children and old people have experienced visions. While the nightmare continues and the discovery of the cause - doesn't happen, the tendency is Kalachi, become equal to Krasnogorski - a ghost town.

RIO GRANDE DO SUL state. PALMITINHO CITY. AUGUST, 1972.
Clenir de Cezaro - murdered, was found in the deep of a well located at side of the her family house. She had 14 years old. Her head and neck were injured in the sinister.
Her body was buried in a chapel nearby the local cemetery - the cemetery of the Linha Boa Vista. There, was installed a small altar in girl's memory. On a table were placed a portrait, images of saint, flowers and candles. The crime never was solved. A man was arrested. He was suspected: had marks on his neck suggesting that fought with the victim prior to subdue her. However, for lack of evidence, he was released.
Recently, in 2015 - almost 30 years after the violent death of Clenir Cezaro her portrait in the chapel began to exhibit a strange aspect.
Red spots like blood and purple stains, like bruises appeared on the head, forehead and neck of the girl's photo. The anomaly looks a posthumous record of Clenir's suffering.
In the neighborhood, people comment: the picture is haunted. The chapel also seems to be cursed. Two fires occurred there. The first, on Souls day (or Day of Dead, November 11, 2014). The cause was cause attributed to an accident with lighted candles.
The second fire took place just 15 days later and this time were found signs of criminal agent, but the author was not identified. The Catholic priest Amadeo Balestrin, family friend, said: "People were so much surprised with the case. They called me to see the picture. I'm intrigued but everything still needs to be analyzed scientifically. In 07 July (2015) - Balestrin sent the photographs to analyze in a local laboratory - Lucan Studio Fotográfico (Lucan Studio Photo) from Palmitinho city - but the cause of the changes in the image could not be determined.
The photo studio owner, Lester Wanderlei Candaten, highlights another curious fact: in original photo left in the Lucan laboratory, initially, girl's face had a small imperfection that was increasing along the time (as seen in the photos). "We don't have an explanation for these facts, it really is something that needs to be investigated" - Candaten said.
After this, in July 2015, the material was delivered to the Instituto Geral de Perícias - from Rio Grande do Sul state (General Institute of Forensics) - which is analyzing the piece. The Instituto has more technical resources. So there was the expectation that the phenomenon could be explained quickly by natural cause.
However, after two days of examinations, the scientists - only can ensure that the change of the image does not result from the action of time or of parasites, such a rust nor is a phisical phenomenon, like rust. The analyzes continue. Meanwhile, the 'The portrait of Clenir dr Cezaro remains a mystery and until proven otherwise, for the people os Palmitinho city - the phenomenon is the manifestation of a supernatural agent. SUPERNATURAL
What the experts dodn't perceive in the photo, is the presence, in the image - of spectrums of ghostly entities and a white smog that resembles the ectoplasm, material used by the spirits for express themselves in the world of the alive.
At least three of those creatures are there. They are enough notable in the photograph.Their ectoplasmic faces do not seem friendly. By contrary, far from the holiness that the people claim about the dead girl, the of the spectral images shows that the atmosphere of the mortuary chapel can have turned, nowadays, a den of angry ghosts. It is possible that the fires that - for two times almost destroyed the sanctuary, have been caused by troubled spirits. Perhaps - among them - the ghost of the killer be responsible for the incidents. Is a fact that the changes in the photo began to appear after the fires. This could mean a reaction from the soul of the girl, unhappy - who can be mutilating her own photography, denouncing his death and the attacks to her mausoleum - that still remain unpunished.

RUSSIA. KRASNODAR CITY. The video was made on the night between 30 and 31 May 2015. The luminous sphere in the sky could be the Moon but that night there was no full moon in Krasnodar. It was the moon crescent, not visible in the footage. The next full moon at that local should appear on June 2. * Moon phases for Krasnodar, Russia in 2015 [http://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/ russia / krasnodar? year = 2015]
But even that the bright orb could delude someone for a few minutes, the idea of a full moon would soon be discarded when the object began to move slowly, moving away from the earth, diminishing in size until suddenly, in a quickly movement, in high speed, disappeared in the sky in a fraction of second.
The headlines that reported this sighting - note the reference below - insisted on highlighting the hypothesis that ... the moon is a spaceship piloted by aliens ... or ... Video proof that the moon is a giant alien spacecraft. Although the possibility exists, in fact - this is not the case. The midia that refer to UFO Krasnodar like a proof of the artificiality of the moon on that particular night, they know, very well - that the orb never could be confused with the Moon at the appropriate stage. The headlines mention theory of the moon-spacecraft for ...mere sensationalism. It is not enough be an UFO, it has be an UFO disguised of Moon. MIDIA REFERENCES

Around the world, thanks to the spread of capturing images technologies, especially the surveillance devices, they are increasingly numerous .
The cameras, and not only security cameras, but also those installed on personal computers, hundreds of millions of cameras in many portable mobile devices - the eyes of the cameras currently present, tireless, everywhere - and they have recorded phenomena that simply can have escaped to human perception or the ability of witnesses to can prove their experiences. Sightings or even interactions with these luminous beings.
They may exist since the most remote times, pre-history, pre-Humanity, very indented times, since... ever. Perhaps only now the science advance was able to create of this artificial vision which can to penetrate a dimension of an invisible reality to ordinary men's eyes.
CHILE. In the Province of Cautín, Araucanía Region, commune Teodoro Schmidt - there, at Porma's Beach (located 12 kilometers from the city of Hualpín), was discovered by tourists, ingrown on the namesake cliff - the strange figure of something that seems to represent a chimery, humanoid and animal. On January 28 (2014), a resident of the neighborhoods who declined to be identified, was spot on with his family when his daughter noticed the formation, similar to a fish's mouth. Curious, the girl used a small shovel to scrape around the formation. Like an archaeologist. She wanted to see the rest of the figure. In that location of the cliff, the stone is covered by a thick layer of clay mixed with sand. (Or be, sedimentary rock).
Then, it was revealed what appears to be the head and the front of the body of a monster. It seems to be delineated or made with the clay of the site but, in a state of ceramic.
The finding soon attracted attention and many beach goers have made photos. About the nature of the object, some feel that the thing is just a freak of nature. Others believe that the sculpture or fossil may be the representation of an alien being (a being strange, unknown).
More than the deformed face of the creature is possible see two legs with animal-like appearance, with hooves. Fossil, sculpture or natural phenomenon, the figure 'rescued - undoubtedly has a demonic appearance: the demon of Pormas's cliff.
Given the eccentricity of the formation, the newspaper El Periodico, after sending his team to document the facts, contacted experts - as geologists - able to determine the nature of the finding.
