UFO

Two pilots in separate incidents saw something fly over the top of their planes.  The first happened about 3:30 pm on February 24 as a Learjet flew over Arizona.  The pilot asks if any plane flew over them and the FAA responds with "negative."  With another plane in the area, the FAA in Albuquerque alerts them to the object.  American Airlines Flight 1095 replies within a minute that the object just flew over them as well.  This all happened about 500 miles from Roswell, New Mexico, where UFO stories are plentiful.   The controller, the FAA, and the pilots have no idea what it was.  This all comes three months after the Navy released videos taken by Navy pilots that gave an inside look into the secret investigation into UFO's.  So, was it really a spaceship or some other ordinary object?  Source: CBS News

Carpool

A mom took carpooling to a new level when she put her car in park to go back inside her apartment to get something.  Her husband and daughter were still in the car when it popped out of park and rolled into the apartment complex swimming pool.  Both managed to get out and there were no injuries but it's a somber reminder to make sure the car will not roll forward when it's put in park.  Source: UPI

T-Rex

A T-Rex at an amusement park was really blowing smoke and flames.  The animatronic dinosaur caught fire possibly from an electrical problem.  It is a total loss but one of the owners said that it made for some spectacular imagery as it burned.  He hopes to replace it soon.  Now that would be the day to go to a dinosaur park!  When else are you going to see a dinosaur go extinct?   Source: Yahoo News

Whales

About 150 whales have beached themselves in Australia.  When rescuers arrived they unfortunately found that about half of them were already dead.  They're doing everything possible to save the rest of them.  Warnings have been issued telling people to stay away from the beach because the dead whales could attract sharks to the area.  Rescuers say that they're waiting for the right conditions to get the whales back out to sea.  Source: BBC

Toilet Clogging Mystery

Sheboygan police have a mystery on their hands.  Actually a mystery in one of their public restrooms.  Someone has been plugging a toilet in a woman's restroom by inserting a plastic bottle into the toilet's pipe.  It's happened several times over the last three years.  They've had to hang a unique sign in the restroom

showing that no trash should be put in the toilets.  The security cameras show a man in the area so he may be a suspect but no one knows for sure.  Why would anyone do that?  Source: Fox News

Getaway Car

What is a bank robber supposed to do if he doesn't have a getaway car?  Call a taxi of course.  An Indiana man did just that.  He called a cab to take him to the bank, robbed it, and then rode home in the cab.  He even paid the driver with some of his ill-gotten gains.  It took police less than an hour to find and arrest the 19-year-old.  The dumber the criminal, the quicker they get caught.  Source: Yahoo News

Wrong Driver's License

A driver in the UK was stopped by police and handed over a fake driver's license.  For some reason he thought that the officer wouldn't recognize Homer Simpson.  The driver was arrested for not having insurance and no license. Doh!  Don't hand over Homer Simpson's license to a police officer...they know even if they don't live in the US.  Source: SkyNews
