UFO REPORTS AND STRANGE CLOUDS LINKED TO RUSSIAN MISSILE
On Thursday, October 10 there were a number of UFO reports in Russia. That same day astronauts Mike Hopkins and Luca Parmitano (the astronaut who recently had his spacesuit start to fill with liquid during a spacewalk) on the International Space Station posted pictures of strange clouds over Russia on their Twitter account. Both events appear to have been linked to a secret Russian missile test which was later revealed by a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense. The link to NBC News coverage in our shownotes includes both photographs and video of the cloud.

40 YEARS AFTER PASCAGOULA
The recent 40th anniversary of the Pascagoula Incident saw several news agencies carrying stories on the surviving experiencer, Calvin Parker Jr. who is now ready to talk about the experience. Most appeared to be generated from the same AP news wire report, with a summary of the original experience, opinions from Phillip Klass and quotes from Parker. Some coverage, though, jumbled the facts such as the piece on NewKerala.com which stated Parker had been abducted with Chase Brandon as opposed to Charles Hickson.

TEXAS SHEEP MUTILATIONS DRAW MUFON ATTENTION
According to an article on the Houston Chronicle website, the mutilations of Wayne Daggs' sheep have attracted the attention of MUFON Section Director Charles Stansburge. Daggs, a retired law enforcement officer, has lost 21 sheep from his 10 acre ranch. Making the story more interesting is the fact that the county had a series of animal mutilations apparently committed by self-proclaimed Satanists in the late 1970s.

MAURY ISLAND INCIDENT MOVIE TRAILER
Some listeners may remember a mention of a Maury Island Incedent documentary being filmed by area filmmakers. Writer/producer Steve Edmiston and producer/director Scott Schaefer have released a trailer for the film, which should soon be released. Schaefer is a veteran of both "Bill Nye the Science Guy" and "Sightings." He states that work on the latter transformed him from a "total skeptic" to a "total non-skeptic."
