A possible Bigfoot flap in Ohio, a triangular UFO filmed in Slovakia, and two separate cases of people mistreating their pet birds in rather unusual ways were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
Easily the most eyebrow-raising story of the week came by way of Ohio, where it would appear that a bona fide Bigfoot flap had broken out. The curious case began when Sasquatch researcher Jeremiah Byron received reports from two separate witnesses claiming to have seen the legendary creature in the same town over consecutive days. To his astonishment, three more people soon came forward saying that they had encountered Bigfoot a few days later within the county. By the end of the week, Byron's list of possible Sasquatch sightings in the small stretch of Ohio had ballooned to a whopping eight in just a few days. However, as of yet, none of the witnesses have managed to snap a photo or film the elusive cryptid.

Proving once again that the UFO phenomenon is global in nature, this past week featured a pair of international stories involving mysterious aerial anomalies. In Slovakia, a baffled witness heard a strange sound in the sky, but observed nothing when he looked overhead. Later, upon checking his home security footage, he was astounded to see that it captured a triangular set of lights at around the same time his 'aural sighting' occurred. Meanwhile, in Mexico, a witness filmed a massive cigar-shaped object, estimated to be around 300 feet long, flying from one volcano to another before ultimately disappearing.

This past week was a particularly bad one for pet birds, of all things, as there were two weird cases involving miscreants allegedly abusing their feathered friends. First, in Pennsylvania, cops arrested a man who strolled into a bar with an injured parakeet and bragged about how the unfortunate animal subsisted on a diet of beer and marijuana. Understandably concerned staff at the watering hole commendably called the cops, who arrived on the scene to seize the bird, which sported a badly broken leg, and arrest its owner for animal abuse. Later in the week, an Illinois man also wound up behind bars after he admitted to beating up his pet rooster in what he later told police was a misguided attempt to teach it how to fight.
