This Week's Weird News 6/27/25

A possible Bigfoot picture from New Hampshire, a driver who took a wrong turn down the Spanish Steps in Rome, and a mysterious string of lights that appeared atop an Argentine lake were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.

Two rather unusual UFO cases popped up on our radar this past week. The first strange sighting emanated from Argentina where a bewildered witness captured footage of an odd string of lights that suddenly appeared on the water of the sizeable Lake Nahuel Huapi. Theories for what the still-unidentified lights might have been included aliens, of course, a fiber optic cable, a reflection, or a supernatural event connected to the lake's resident 'monster,' the legendary Nahuelito. Later in the week, a Massachusetts woman was understandably taken aback when she spotted a UFO sporting blinking lights and plummeting from the sky outside her home. Weirdly, when the object should have crashed or landed, there was only silence and no sign of the puzzling anomaly.

A trio of fantastic 'figures' that may have been otherworldly caught our eye this past week, beginning with a case wherein a pair of hikers in New Hampshire snapped a photo of what they believed to be a juvenile Bigfoot. The intriguing picture, which showed a diminutive bipedal being standing in a creek, sparked debate in Sasquatch research circles with some suggesting it was genuine and others arguing it could be AI. Meanwhile, in California, a doorbell camera captured footage of a figure bearing an eerie resemblance to a grey alien creeping along the side of a house. And, finally, churchgoers in the Philippines were understandably stunned by the appearance of a cloud formation that, many marveled, looked like Jesus.

This past week featured a pair of weird stories involving misbehaving motorists who made headlines for some rather regrettable moments. First, in Italy, a confused driver took a wrong turn and somehow wound up descending Rome's famed Spanish Steps in his car then proceeded to get stuck in the middle of the monument. The man's Mercedes eventually had to be removed from the landmark with a sizeable crane. Later in the week, a Minnesota motorist was arrested for crashing his car while allegedly high on hallucinogenic mushrooms. Making the incident noteworthy and providing the driver with his proverbial fifteen minutes of fame was his rather unusual name: Patches Magickbeans.
