A recent study has found a correlation between bigfoot sightings and the local black bear population in North America, suggesting that mistaken identity may be a factor in these sightings. The analysis, which used data from the US and Canada, revealed that for every 1,000 black bears, the frequency of bigfoot sightings increases by about 4 percent. This finding could potentially aid in bear conservation efforts by providing an independent method of tracking population changes.
The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, may be visible over parts of the United States on Thursday and Friday nights. Sightings have already been reported in North Carolina and Virginia this year. The best chances for viewing the Northern Lights in the United States are in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Oklahoma.

The aurora is typically shown as a green oval centered on Earth's magnetic pole, with red indicating more intense activity.
A bag of tools that drifted away from NASA astronauts during a spacewalk outside the International Space Station is now in a slowing orbit around the Earth and visible to stargazers. The tool bag, containing tethers, hardware handling aids, and a ratchet wrench, was irretrievable and estimated to be worth around $100,000. While the bag poses no risk to the space station, it is expected to remain in orbit until spring to midsummer 2024 before disintegrating. Reports of sightings have already emerged, with the bag visible through binoculars and sharing an orbit with the space station.
Residents of Martin City in Montana reported witnessing a mysterious light show in the sky, consisting of four points of light grouped together and surrounded by a pulsating light. The lights remained stationary for over 20 minutes before disappearing. Similar sightings have been reported in the Flathead Valley in the past, with witnesses describing colorful spinning lights that can even be seen on cloudy nights. While some suggest misidentification or atmospheric anomalies, the cause of these mysterious lights remains unexplained. Inquiries to NASA, NORAD, and the FAA have not yielded any answers.
A mysterious large feline, possibly a mountain lion, has been spotted in eastern Pennsylvania's Lehigh County, sparking speculation that a species believed to be locally extinct may have returned. The Pennsylvania State Police have confirmed the sighting and have alerted the Pennsylvania Game Commission. While mountain lions are considered extinct in Pennsylvania, occasional sightings of so-called "ghost cats" have been reported for decades. Some skeptics equate these sightings with reports of aliens and supernatural manifestations. The news of the possible mountain lion sighting has led to additional reports of sightings in the region on social media, although some argue it may be a bobcat instead.
