    LADEE Frog Photobomb
    Date: 6 Sep 2013

    A still camera on a sound trigger captured this intriguing photo of an airborne frog as NASA's LADEE spacecraft lifts off from Pad 0B at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The photo team confirms the frog is real and was captured in a single frame by one of the remote cameras used to photograph the launch. The condition of the frog, however, is uncertain.

    Mysterious Figure In Gas Mask Has Haunted Swiss Wilderness For A Decade

    Known only as ‘Le Leyon’, the mysterious stranger has puzzled locals and authorities in Switzerland for years. He always wears the same outfit and nobody has ever seen his face. The mystery surrounding his identity and purpose in the area has been the subject of much concern and intrigue.
    “He had a military cape, boots and an army gas mask – an antique type, I think,” said an unnamed local photographer who managed to snap a photograph of the man.
    Some area residents have also expressed fears over the man’s intentions. “He came out of the woods with his military clothes,” said one woman. “We saw neither his face nor his eyes behind his big dark gas mask.”
    Authorities are currently attempting to track down and identify the man but have so far come up empty.

    A SINISTER figure has reportedly been caught on camera lurking in the woods in western Switzerland.

    Dressed in a military uniform with a gas mask covering his face, the figure, known as 'Le Loyon', is said to have been haunting the woods for the past decade. He apparently walks the same route every day.

    Think you've been on some bad flights? At least they weren't Flight 666 to HEL, departing Friday the 13th. It's a very real trip, and it's actually pretty crowded.

    Finnair flight AY666 from Copenhagen to Helsinki (HEL) will actually be taking off twice on Friday the 13th, but that doesn't seem to have unnerved many passengers; almost all its seats are taken. And among the unsuspicious travelers who take pains to laugh in the face of the Baphomet is the captain, Juha-Pekka Keidasto. "It has been quite a joke among the pilots," he told the Guardian, blatantly tempting fate. "I'm not a superstitious man. It's only a coincidence for me."

    Apparently, flights over the Baltic tend to be pretty serene this time of year, so 666 to HEL ought to be pretty pleasant. Still, it doesn't hurt to be prepared for a little turbulence, natural or supernatural. "[If] there's some passenger who is anxious about this 666, our cabin crew is always happy to help them," Keidasto says. Complimentary exorcisms for all!

    Creepy clown alert



    This is why you can’t go outside anymore these days. Via the Herald Sun:

    A clown – with red wig and full make-up and sometimes holding balloons – is freaking out residents of one English town.

    He is red-haired and white faced and has surfaced several locations across Northampton, a town of 215,000, over the past few days since his first appearance on Friday the 13th.

    The Northampton Clown – which has exploded on social media in the UK – has even sparked a police warning. Police said they were looking to track two teenagers who were caught dressed as clowns, and had been caught acting in a peculiar fashion.

    A woman alleged that the clown had knocked on her door in full clown attire before then offering to paint her window sills.

    Many have been left feeling frightened by the clown. As reported: “He doesn’t juggle. He doesn’t twist balloons into animal shapes. He just stares.”
