Some really strange lights over Brooklyn, New York last night 8/26/12 at about 11pm.
All in all there were 30-40 of these glowing orbs that looked to be flying in near perfect triangle formation.
We were mesmerized as were several other groups of people who also witnessed the lights from the corner of Vanderbilt and Dekalb Aves. They were clearly not aircraft or helicopters and were in too perfect of a formation to be Chinese Lanterns.
After watching them drift across the skyline for several minutes they all disappeared and did not reappear.
Denise Ginley took some horrifying photographs of a bloated, dead animal this weekend. "Is this another incarnation of the Montauk Monster?" she asked Gothamist. "Or just the largest rat in the city?"
Ginley was going for a stroll Sunday when she made the grisly discovery.
"We were walking on the esplanade along the East River beneath the FDR. We found the dead creature lying on the strip of sand beside the East River, on the Manhattan side, directly beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. It looked like the tide probably washed the carcass up there along with some driftwood."
In the mutilated face, sure, maybe we could see it. There might've been a snout there at some point and the dirty, crumpled ears look pig-ish.
But it's the feet, and specifically the toes, that weird us out. That is not like any pig's foot we've ever seen. "I definitely agree that the feet are not pig-like at all," Ginley confirmed to Daily Intel.
The "Montauk Monster" was discovered in 2008 on a beach in the Hamptons, and the "stout, hairless creature with a beak, claws," and "almond-shaped eyes familiar from renderings of space aliens," is a source of mystery to this day.
An escaped mutant from a government lab? A dog? A pig? An unknown creature? Viral marketing campaign?
This object seemed to respond in its appearance after I flashed it with my LED flashlight, and changed direction.
It was originally heading from east to west, but then changed direction and headed south after it "glowed intensely" until it disappeared. I did not change the focus or any other settings, as you can see the stars remain the same before, during and after the orb glowed brightly.
The strange thing about this object was that it had a hole in the center, which can be clearly seen in my video. It makes it appear like a donut.
