The Dover Demon.

On the 21st of April in 1977, William "Bill" Bartlett, who was 17 at the time, made the claim that while he was driving, he saw a large-eyed creature "with tendril-like fingers" and glowing eyes on top of a broken stone wall on Farm Street in Dover, Massachusetts.
John Baxter, who was 15 years old, also reported seeing a similar creature on Miller Hill Road that same evening. Abby Brabham, also 15 years old, claimed to have seen the creature on Springdale Avenue, the following night.
The teenagers all drew sketches of the alleged creature. Bartlett wrote on his sketch, "I, Bill Bartlett, swear on a stack of Bibles that I saw this creature." According to the Boston Globe Newspaper, "the locations of the sightings, plotted on a map, lay in a straight line over 2 miles".
It has been suggested that the creature could have been a moose calf or perhaps even a horse foal. Local police told the associated press that the creatures reported by the teenagers "were probably nothing more than a school vacation hoax."
Loren Coleman who interviewed all witnesses at the time, coined the name 'The Dover Demon' and to this day, quite rightly maintains that this 'creature' is still considered to be, an 'unknown'.

Explaining the UAP Tic Tac as a double-layer plasma

This is an explanation of the Tic Tac UAP as a double-layer plasma using the theory of electroballs.

Schematic section of a Tic Tac UAP with two air leaks.

Electroballs are formations of electrified gas or plasma with two layers, each with an electrical charge of opposite sign, which strongly attract each other. There is an electrical discharge between them, sometimes bright.

https://preview.redd.it/d9geijntb39h1.jpg?width=506&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04f13604cda14d38353f225dce59836c581015db

The Tic Tac shape

An electroball could have two or more nuclei with the same charge sign, which repel each other, and both would be surrounded by another layer with the opposite charge sign that unites them.

This cloud shows that structure too:

Round clouds charged with electricity surrounded by another cloud attracted to them.

In this example the two electroballs at the left share the external layer (as the TIc Tac), but the two at the right barely can.

The lower "tubes" of the Tic Tac

Electroballs tend to lose their charge when electrical discharges occur between the core and the outer layer, but the outer layer tends to lose charge faster because it also releases charge it to the surrounding air. This imbalance causes an excessive accumulation of charged gas in the core, which cannot be contained by the weakened outer layer, resulting in leaks from the core to the outside.

These leaks can make noises similar to trumpets, vuvuzelas, roars, screams...

These leaks typically point towards the ground or something with the opposite charge sign, often forming a tube that, in extreme cases, can be luminous.

Example of an electroball leaking gas from the core to the ground through a tube .

If the UAP moves the leaks look bent backwards.

The leaked gas from the core bends backwards as the Tic Tac moves

In extreme cases the leaked plasma can be brilliant, looking like a solid beam of light.

UAPs very fast and energetic seem to be formed with charged particles from the Van Allen Belts or from ionospheric discharges of electricity triggered by meteors.

The Dancing Plague of 1518: When Hundreds of People Couldn't Stop Dancing

In 1518, a woman in Strasbourg suddenly began dancing in the street and couldn't stop.

Within days, dozens joined her. Then hundreds. People danced for days, some collapsing from exhaustion, with reports that several even died.

To this day, no one knows exactly what caused this bizarre event. Was it mass hysteria, poisoned grain, or something else entirely?

Detailed explanation of event here:

Have you ever had a Bigfoot or Mothman encounter? (Need real stories for a podcast episode)

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a podcast episode with my mom where we’re diving into cryptid encounters—specifically Bigfoot and Mothman. We’re not here to debate or disprove anything, just genuinely collecting personal experiences and stories from people who feel like they’ve seen or encountered something unexplainable.

My mom actually swears she’s seen both at different points in her life, which is what kicked this whole idea off.

So I’m asking:
Have you ever had a Bigfoot or Mothman encounter—or something you couldn’t explain in the woods, on a road, or anywhere else?

If you’re willing to share, please include:

Where it happened (general area is fine)
What you saw/heard/felt
Any details you remember clearly
And whether you’ve ever found a rational explanation for it later

We may read a few of these (anonymously or however you prefer) on the episode if we end up recording.

Appreciate anyone who takes the time to share. Even short stories help.
