UFOs spotted in Argentina and Turkey, a Chinese woman who inadvertently caused several car accidents after she tweaked a traffic mirror to improve her feng shui, and a bizarre meat heist in Florida were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
This past week featured a pair of peculiar UFO videos that caught our attention. First, in Turkey, a mystified witness captured footage of an odd orb that hovered in the sky over a city where it was also seen in the same area around four months earlier. Theories for what the weird object could have been included a drone, an errant balloon, Jupiter, and, of course, otherworldly visitors. Meanwhile, in Argentina, a group of friends could not believe their eyes when, while traveling down the highway, they stopped to wait for a friend and spotted a curious cloud that appeared to rotate and emit a series of colorful flashes.

A pair of bizarre food-related arrests that made headlines this past week, beginning with a wild case out of Florida, wherein a man allegedly stole a staggering $3,500 worth of meat from two separate grocery stores in the span of about 30 minutes. Making the incident even weirder, cops said, the suspect threw away all of the pilfered food after he drove to his girlfriend's house and discovered her cooking dinner with another man. Later in the week, a former Little Caesars employee in North Carolina found himself in trouble with the law after he allegedly broke into the restaurant and hosted a proverbial pizza party wherein he cooked up some pies and actually sold them to customers.

By far the weirdest story of the week came by way of China, where a woman caused a series of car accidents after adjusting a traffic mirror in the hopes of improving her feng shui. The strange case started around two months ago when the unnamed Shanghai resident's luck took a turn for the worse. In response, she enlisted a feng shui master, who identified a traffic mirror pointed at her home as the source of her disharmony. Taking what she thought was corrective action by tweaking the device, the woman wound up leaving drivers unable to see oncoming traffic as they cruised down the curvy road in front of her house, resulting in several car accidents.
