# Strange Encounter In Italy - 1927 - Morning, Corbola (Rovigo), near the Po
river. 11-year-old Francesca was taking water from the Po river when she
saw a round, shining thing coming down into the river. A few minutes later
it came out of the 'boiling' water and sped into the sky, but not before
the girl noticed a small man within it, visible from the neck up. A sound
was also heard. http://www.ufomind.com/ufo/updates/2000/jun/m17-006.shtml

# SPACE ALIEN POOP IS MAKING US SICK, SICK, SICK! WASHINGTON -- Millions of
people around the world have contracted a strange and potentially fatal

# A step nearer to fish on bicycles. In another triumph of science, resear-
chers have created a fish on wheels. Actually, they took part of the brain
