There is a recent report from Mexicali, BC, Mexico that claims that a "strange device" in the air was spotted by locals, who reported the incident to the authorities via the 066 emergency line.

The device was seen over Mexicali, BC, Mexico, on January 23, as the Municipal Public Security Forces were dispatched to investigate. The object was also picked up urban security cameras and it was caught by cameras.

Martin Ruelas, supervisor of the forces, saw the object as well as other officers. They described the object as a large, white light which also displayed various other colors. They could find no conventional explanation for the object.

See the video capture of the object at UFO Pursued by Police in Mexicali, BC, Mexico, and see what you think about these claims.

Here is an article about a teenage boy and his dog. It is not your typical boy/dog story. This young man, along with his dog, had a frightening experience they will never forget one night in 2008 in New York.

As the man was nearing his home after walking his dog, he saw a disc-shaped UFO in the clear, night sky. His faithful dog soon became very upset as they heard someone or something coming toward them.
