Hundreds Witness Flying Mothman in Serbia?

Postby Corvidaerex » Wed Aug 24, 2005 4:41 pm

I hesitate to link to a news brief from Ananova, but I can't find any other online source and it sounds very much like some other incidents discussed here.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1512284.html">www.ananova.com/news/stor...12284.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Serbian authorities are investigating reports of a real-life Superman after people claimed to have seen a cloaked figure flying over their houses.<br><br>Hundreds of residents in Ljubovija described seeing a cloaked person flying above buildings "as if he had an invisible engine on his back" and changing directions while in mid-air, local daily Blic reported.<br><br>One local said: "It was like something out of Superman or Batman. No one has any rational explanation for what we all saw."<br><br>Police in the town have refused to comment.<br><br>* * *<br><br>Yes, of course ... a cloaked figure flying over a Balkan village must certainly be "Superman." Sounds like Mr. Mothman to me, or any number of demons, vampires or other such entities known to the southern Slavs.<br><br>The alleged source is Blic, a Serb daily. ( <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.blic.co.yu/">www.blic.co.yu/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> ) I haven't been able to find the actual story, if it exists, as my tourist Serbo-Croatian is beyond pathetic & I haven't used it for 10 years. If anybody here speaks Serbian, take a look and see what you can find. <br><br>The interesting part is that "hundreds" of people in one town claim to have seen a cloaked figure flying over their homes and making crazy maneuvers.<br><br>I remembered something like this, and with the magical help of Google found these two links:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.pantheon.org/articles/s/smaj.html">www.pantheon.org/articles/s/smaj.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://library.thinkquest.org/J0110426/myths/others.html">library.thinkquest.org/J0...thers.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>"SMAJ: The protectors of the Serbian nation.

Thanks for the link. Besides Mothman and Springheel Jack, that also reminds me of the recent <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://p097.ezboard.com/frigorousintuitionfrm12.showMessage?topicID=27.topic" target="top">hovering entity videotaped in Mexico</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->. <p></p><i></i>

Whatever that language is, I have over 50% comprehension...<br><br>I can't find the article tho, their search feature doesn't well. The Ananova doc doesn't say WHEN it was reported. If you can guess a date I can hit the archive...<br><br>(i did find that Madonna fell off a horse on her birthday <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> )<br><br>edit -- Found it, at least a follow-up.<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.blic.co.yu/danas/broj/strane/hronika.htm#1">www.blic.co.yu/danas/broj...nika.htm#1</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Letaè „došao“ po Karadžiæa</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> <br>I can't exactly translate, but generally:<br>There's a somewhat poetic description of how people were opening balcony doors, and staring from street and field.

ZeroHaven: Thank you! And sorry for not providing a date; it was posted on Ananova yesterday (was on the front page), but that site is notorious for providing no time element whatsoever ... I would avoid that goofy site altogether, but it's one of the only English-language sources for the strange news from distant lands.<br><br>Anyway ... Jeez, that tale gets a bit creepier with the details. Glowing eyes? Sure! Daytime sightings over soccer games? Why not? On some dull days I really miss the Balkans ...<br><br>Jeff, thank you for the Spring Heel Jack mention. That's a name I've heard for years & never really knew what it was about. Ended up reading for an hour or two about that strange Victorian character. <p></p><i></i>

Truly bizarre. Judging by the description, it is eerily similar to the flying dude in Mexico. Especially the "slight glow". <br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>On some dull days I really miss the Balkans ...<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>The Balkans do have a special atmosphere.

Here's a hovering entity story from the US

Postby Rigorous Intuition » Thu Aug 25, 2005 2:53 pm

<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.cropcircleanswers.com/FlyingHumanoid.htm" target="top">Unidentified ‘Flying Humanoid’ Filmed Above Santa Monica?</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Video link at the site</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>Kris and I were out walking the family dog, a few blocks from our apartment, when the sighting occurred. <br><br>Approximately half way down one street, as the dog stopped to sniff, I looked up, and between two buildings immediately noticed something very strange in the sky, flying slowly towards us (Fig. 1, & Fig. 2B-C). At first, I considered a helicopter high above the city and perhaps one to two miles away. It was ‘solid’ looking, bulky, and ‘dark’ gray to black in appearance. However, the more I watched it the closer it came, and the nearer it came the more anomalous it looked. <br><br>I quickly realized the ‘UFO’ was much smaller and much closer than originally thought, and it wasn’t a helicopter. Instead, it was about a third of a mile away, made no discernable sound, was about the size of a very large man, and looked oddly ‘humanoid’. I was well aware of some of the recent sightings of unidentified flying humanoids (U.F.H.s) witnessed and filmed in Mexico, and considered the possibility (Ref. 5 & 6). I also considered tethered ‘balloons’, and a released inflatable ‘parade character’, but it didn’t actually look or behave like either. After about ten seconds I drew Kris’ attention to it and we observed it together for several more.<br><br>Knowing I was only a block and a half from our apartment, and observing how slowly the unidentified object was moving (perhaps walking speed), I decided to run back to retrieve our HI8 video camera. However, as I said this to Kris, the UFO immediately stopped and began to head away from our position in a North Westerly direction (Fig. 2C-G). Determined not to lose the opportunity I ran, while Kris continued to watch incase something changed.<br><br>While on route to our apartment I sighted the UFO several times, as it passed above and behind city buildings (Fig. 2C-E). Upon arrival, I quickly noted its location, direction and speed (which had remained constant), and ran inside. Moments later, I was back outside with a HI8 camera (Fig. 2D). However, much to my frustration, as I tried to film the object I discovered the ‘charged’ battery I thought I had was flat! Rushing back inside and out again, I began filming the UFO as it slowly approached a cross street, about 350 feet away (Fig. 2E). The first clip is about 10 seconds long and includes an un-zoomed view of the street and sky in which the UFO is flying, to a half zoomed view of the mysterious object (Fig. 3). <br><br>Curiously, as it approached the cross street, and flew over it, the UFO seemed to form a ‘cross’ almost in the sky (Fig. 3). It was the only time during the entire sighting that I saw it do this. Seconds later, what had looked like outstretched ‘arms’, or appendages of some kind, were now down in a half resting position (Fig. 4).<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.cropcircleanswers.com/Fig3SM_UFO_04_350ML72.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.cropcircleanswers.com/Fig4SM_UFO_04M72.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.cropcircleanswers.com/images/Fig9SM_UFO_04_260_&72.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.cropcircleanswers.com/images/Fig10SM_UFO_04_M300.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>
