A truly odd orb filmed in Argentina, a 'mystery creature' that crashed the Indian Prime Minister's inauguration, and a pair of NFL players' vivid UFO sighting were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
The sports world and the paranormal crossed paths in an unusual way this past week when a pair of NFL players recalled a vivid UFO sighting that they experienced during a flight home from a game. The first to share the story, Andre James of the Las Vegas Raiders explained that he and some teammates were chatting with the pilots in the cockpit of the chartered jet when chatter over the radio alerted them to some weird lights off in the distance. Shortly thereafter, the offensive lineman observed a sizeable white light that kept changing size and mystified everyone on the plane, including teammate Maxx Crosby, who subsequently confirmed James' fantastic tale.

A pair of stories involving mystery creatures made headlines this past week, beginning with what many believed to be a big cat seen in the background of the Indian Prime Minister's inauguration ceremony. The presence of the peculiar animal sparked considerable speculation on social media with many wondering if a leopard had somehow found its way into the high profile event. The mystery was eventually solved when authorities indicated that the creature was merely a domesticated cat that lives at the residence where the inauguration was held. Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, a fisherman captured footage of what he claimed was an alligator lurking in a lake, but many viewers online argued that the mystery creature could have simply been a muskrat or beaver.

This past week featured a particularly weird piece of footage showing an odd orb with what appeared to be a mouth that was opening and closing as it floated over an Argentine lake. Captured by a bewildered witness who conceded that she had no idea what she filmed, her video led to a remarkable array of theories being offered as to the nature of the puzzling anomaly. There were viewers who suggested that the white circular object was a UFO, while others put forward the possibility it could have been a ghost, and there were even those who suggested that the mysterious munching object was the legendary Argentine lake monster Nahuelito, which is said to live at the location of the strange sighting.
