The Oakville Blobs

On a quiet August morning in 1994, the residents of Oakville in the US state of Washington, woke to find something falling from the sky. It wasn’t rain, snow or hail. This was different. Something soft. Something translucent. Something alive — or so people said. Within hours, people began to fall sick. Some animals began dying. And the town found itself at the centre of one of the strangest environmental mysteries in American history.

The Todmorden UFO

In November 1980, Police Officer Alan Godfrey, is driving his car along a country road within the County of West Yorkshire in the north of England. Responding to a report of cows wandering loose from their paddock, Alan is reminded of the body he helped recover 5 months earlier, while driving near the same location known as Todmorden. Unexpectedly Alan is forced to stop the car. In front of him is a large diamond shaped object hovering above the road and spinning in a clockwise motion. Alan attempts to report what he is seeing but the Police radio has no signal. Then there’s an explosion of light that forces Alan to close his eyes. When he opens them, the object has gone.

The Max Headroom Incident

In 1987, the people in the United States city of Chicago, were watching the evening TV. And then without warning the signal changed. The TV picture flickered and the sound dissolved into a harsh electronic buzz. On the screen appeared a figure wearing a rubber mask of the cult figure Max Headroom, the stuttering, sarcastic, artificially generated TV personality who had become an icon of 80s pop culture. His movements were jerky. His voice distorted and nonsensical. Then suddenly as it began, the broadcast returned to normal. It lasted only seconds. But it was to be one of the most infamous broadcast hijackings in American history.
