Hundreds of years ago, ignorance about decomposition and disease sparked fears that the dead returned to drink the blood of the living.

A woman saw an unusual object in the sky above the Merseyside town of St Helens in England on Wednesday, October 3. The witness, Lilia Hughes, was walking in historic Taylor Park when she noticed the UFO. She explains to the St Helens Reporter, “It looked like a bright yellow spot in the western direction of the sky, just above the clouds.” She says the anomalous object did not move during the five-to-eight minutes in which she watched it.

A former resident of Novi, Michigan is still traumatized by a UFO encounter from decades ago. Nancy Tremaine says she saw a saucer-shaped UFO floating in the sky above her neighborhood in the early 1960s when she was just twelve years old. She can’t remember exactly when the sighting occurred, but thinks it was during the summer of 1961. She says that she was playing at a friend’s house when the friend’s father called the girls outside to see the UFO. She describes the craft as a silver saucer-shaped object, adorned with red, green, and white lights. And she says these lights were either rotating or pulsating.
