This Week's Weird News 6/20/25

A possible sighting of Argentina's version of Bigfoot, several strange UFO videos, and a Texas woman who married her ex-boyfriend without his knowledge were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.

A couple of curious cryptid sightings made headlines this past week, beginning with a case out of Argentina where a witness captured footage of a large bipedal creature that some suggested was an Ucumar, the country's version of Bigfoot. Filmed from approximately 300 feet away, the sizeable beast could be seen bounding across a field as a bewildered observer wondered if they were watching a person or something far more extraordinary. Later in the week, a man visiting Loch Ness for the annual 'monster hunt' was credited with this year's second official sighting of the legendary cryptid after he spotted an unusual anomaly emerge from the water in the wake of a boat.

This past week featured a pair of puzzling UFO videos that left us scratching our heads. First, in China, a witness filmed a strange metallic sphere cruising through the sky over a reservoir. The silent object's unusual maneuvers left the observer convinced that it was not a drone nor a balloon. The odd orb is remarkably similar to equally mystifying spheres that have been seen over the last few months. Later in the week, footage emerged of a veritable flying saucer filmed during a US reconnaissance mission military over the Afghan-Pakistan border. Abruptly changing directions in mid-air, the sizeable object showed no sign of any propulsion system and, weirdly, no heat signature was detected by thermal radar.

By far the weirdest story of the week came by way of Texas, where a man was stunned to discover that his ex-girlfriend had married him without his knowledge. The bizarre case came to light when his former paramour sent him a puzzling package. Contained in the bundle was a picture of his ex holding a seemingly completed marriage license for the duo as well as documentation confirming that it was genuine. A subsequent police investigation revealed that the pair had previously planned to get married, but broke up following an argument. Still in possession of the paperwork, the enterprising ex somehow convinced a pastor and county officials to sign off on the marriage license with the stunned man none the wiser.
