Welcome to another session of UFO sighting reports. This week we head up to New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia for our reports.

In New York, a 15-year-ancient girl was awakened by a light outside her bedroom window. She soon learned it was a disc-shaped UFO with purple lights. In Pennsylvania, a man reported power outages with numerous bright lights of different colors in his neighborhood.

In Virginia, a man and his wife witness several unknown, yellow lights moving to their east. And in Staunton, VA, a man witnessed four extremely bright lights through his binoculars.

Check out all the details at UFO Sighting Reports, 03-18-10, and don’t forget to keep your eyes on the skies.

A dog has recovered after needing emergency surgery – because it had swallowed a whole toy football.

Bracken the labrador finished up with the deflated ball stuck next to his heart after munching it while out of sight of his owner John Grant and would have died without surgery.

Mr Grant realised the two-year-ancient dog needed medical attention when he started coughing incessantly.

When Bracken was X-rayed at the University of Glasgow Small Animal Hospital, vets noticed an unexpected dark shape near the labrador’s heart.

Further tests revealed a congenital abnormality – a hole in the diaphragm between the dog’s chest and abdomen which meant part of his stomach could go into the space.

When surgical specialist Kathryn Pratschke operated, helped by vet Damian Chase, they were stunned to learn that the foreign object was a deflated toy football about 12cm (5 inches) long.

Mr Chase said: ‘Bracken had been fine and his stomach had been gradually moving in and out from this area in his chest, but because he had eaten this toy football it got stuck up there. Part of the stomach went and was sitting next to his heart with the football in it.

‘We were surprised because when we did the X-ray and scan we couldn’t tell what it was. He is a very lucky dog. He would have died without the operation.’

Mr Chase said the abnormality, called peritoneo-pericardial diaphragmatic hernia, can have catastrophic consequences, though many dogs with the same problem lead normal lives with the flaw going unnoticed.

Bracken needed two operations to right the problem, one last spring and one in January. He is now living life to the full at the Grant home in Lenzie, East Dunbartonshire – though where he found the football remains a mystery.

Mr Grant, 70, said: ‘I don’t know where he picked it up, though it may have been in the park in the long grass. “He is quite inquisitive and noisy and boisterous. He eats anything – plastic bottles, golf balls, stones and sticks.’

Some fascinating links I’ve found this week:

• Where Have All The Werewolves Gone? — From the late 19th century on, anomal­ous primates like the Yeti, Sasquatch and Bigfoot nudged aside the wolfmen of ancient and stepped forward to occupy the niche of this fearsome man-like monster. What accounts for this curious transformation?
• The Tortuguero Prophecy Unravelled — Author Geoff Stray examines a Mayan inscription on Monument 6 from a small-known site called Tortuguero, in the state of Tabasco in Mexico, and the insights it might have into the meaning and reality of 2012 prophecy.
• Bigfoot, Chupacabras and Other Weird Creatures — For more than a century, there has been a legend in the ever-enigmatic mountains of the American Northwest. The legend is based on tales about enormous hairy creatures that walk upwards in the same way that apes do.
• All New Links

A man was sitting in his hot tub on the 4th of October at Moreton, Wirral, looking up at a clear sky when spotted a very bright light which started to ‘go at tremendous speed’ across the sky in different directions. ‘Twelve mysterious orbs’ were spotted shooting over Macclesfield in Cheshire, the witness said that they were moving too quick to be Chinese lanterns, they suddenly rose and disappeared from view. On the 5th of October Tina McGrory saw what looked like a ball of fire heading towards the earth at Glenmavis, Airdrie, Scotland. She reports: ‘Then it stopped and turned into three bright white lights in a triangle formation. It hovered for a while then went slowly changed direction hovered again then shot off into the sky.’ Over in Portsmouth the witness was in his back garden having a cigarette when he saw ‘a bright flame-like colour in the sky. The object looked as if it was a star without the bottom point on it, with an orange light going around it in a circular fashion.’ The UFO went horizontally quite quick across the night sky and it looked as though it was beginning to descend when it finally went out of sight.
