Residents of the remote Aleutian village of Keriankian have reported a strange illusion -- or something -- rising over the dead-black sea to the south of their island. Various reports seem to agree that it was a cloud of brilliant, vibrating, oscillating, scintillating mint-green, of shifting dimensions, which rose up into the night sky from beyond the horizon and seemed to accelerate in the general direction of either Dallas or Philadelphia -- they weren't too sure.

No groups, states, organizations or terrorist networks have taken responsibility for this unidentified flying cloud, but it seemed to leave everyone in its wake grinnign for reasons they could not explain.

More as it happens...

Bugs Bunny, journalist for the LooneyNewsNetwork, allegedly reported to Dan Rather that in a phone conversation earlier today, Marvin the Martian stated an emphatic, "Absolutely no Martians have been sent to Earth! It was a simple weather baloon advertising for the new Wintergreen Mints."
    Bugs states that this was confirmed by NASA & NORAD for the President. Film at 11.

    Oh, no! Bugs has been assimilated! Catters--shall we believe this propaganda, or rise up & march on Washington for answers to this mystery?!

Used to see this sort of thing all too often. The navy would use phosphorescent die in a mist from a drop capsule to help them study wind currents. Looked like the blob on helium. It would casually drift away and disperse over time.

Not saying that's what it was, but if you want a real story,

Back in about '79 I was living on Bolling Air Force Base (across the Potomac from D.C. The Naval Observatory just down the road reported to the local news stations that they were observing a UFO hovering above DC. We all went outside and observed a small object hovering in the sky which seemed to be rotating. It would turn from green to white to red and back to green again. A short while later all of the TV stations went off the air (not white noise and static either but slate gray like the TV was turned off even though the power was still on). After about an hour and a half the object slowly started receeding from our vantage point. It then suddenly zoomed up into the stratosphere and disappeared. The TVs came back on. The next day my mother called the observatory to ask if they had identified the object. When asked if she was a member of the observatory she said no instead of yes and was hung up on. True story.

HEre on the 'Cat, now, Mint Green Transcendance is a peculiar phenomenon associated strictly with a member of our own Pantheon, no less a personage than the Gaelic Goddess, Keeper of the Mudcat Songbook and Comfort of MudcatSongwriters Everywehre, dispenser of the Esteemed Cow Chip Awards and Inventrix of the Mudcat Song Challenge.

But she hasn't been seen around here for some time...so I suppose this UFO wasn't her.

'COurse, things do change, don't they? Maybe she's making a trans-galactic comeback!!?? Y anever know with these fickle Irish-colored goddess types. :>)

Ever seen that loopy Yatta video?

I first saw reference to it here.

Then I found the video download here. Same place I got the "All Your Base" thing (yeah, that was me).

It's a riot!

I've been out to the Aleutians many times and never heard of Keriankian. Doesn't even sound like an Aleut name. Must be one of them bases that don't belong to us.

Here's a photo from last Saturday's newspaper. Maybe this is what they saw in the non-existant Aleutian village. Green UFO?

Mike:

I only report qwhat I'm told, but I may have misremembered the name! :>) But that green streak? That's about what She Hersailf looks like when she approaches, especially if her Gaelic temper has been stirred.

Therefore, all ye, tread joyful in her presence!!

Some Most Excellent Songs await ye....

Chief Chaos - My mother and my best friend and I saw something very similar to what you describe over Washington DC. Our sighting was in the late 60's over upstate NY, about 20 miles from Syracuse. Same deal with the lights, but I had the impression that the lights themselves were cycling around the vehicle, rather than the vehicle rotating. However, it could have been the vehicle rotating, because it was absolutely symmetrical as far as I could see through a good set of binoculars. It also eventually moved away at great speed after hovering silently for about 1/2 hour. There were numerous reports in the local papers over a period of a few weeks that year with UFO sightings. I'm not aware of any official action or reaction to those events at the time...though I'm sure they had some awareness of it. There's no way they could not have.

You're not only juvenile, you run the risk of personal vaporization. It's not NICE to act spiteful around Green Goddesses. They do unpredictable things with growth hormones...
