I have encountered a number of stories of ghosts encountered by the military whilst serving in Afghanistan and the account given below from https://languish.org/forums/index.php?topic=3300.0 (originally in the Times) is either one of those from a podcast I listened to or is very similar to one...

I've just come back from the US. Posted this on my Facebook page. Thought y'all would also enjoy it; make of it what you will.

A mysterious flash that lit up the skies over the Ukrainian capital Kyiv generated much speculation.
Officials in Kyiv said they suspected it was a Nasa satellite falling to Earth but the US space agency told the BBC it was still in orbit.
The Ukrainian air force suggested the flash might...
This story is one of the most strange case in China.
On the 28 July, 1976, a severe earthquake occurred in Tangshan. As this city was almost destroyed, more than one million people were waiting for help. To do this, armies around Tangshan were assembled to send food, medicine and other sources...
China used green lasers fired from satellites to gather intelligence for a surprise hypersonic missile attack on Hawaii, it has been warned.

The mere thought of controlling a robot is good enough for the Australian Army. In a new test, the land force has paired with a host of technology researchers to use telepathy to control robot dogs, part of a new wave of research aimed at eliminating the need for verbal or physically inputted...
I really couldn't think of a succinct title to encapsulate what i wanted to start a random ramble about.
But in essence ..do the realities of international conflicts in the last 30 years effectively undermine claims of super secret (usually US) capabilities of a fortean nature?

I've seen a plot point in many an old flick or tv show, positing the creation of an armored wagon of some kind, from just armored to full on tanks.
This image from 1967's The War Wagon gives you a good idea of what I'm taking about - steel covered wagons with slots for machine guns from the...
More than 60 years ago, the Monongahela River pulled off a vanishing trick that sure makes Harry Houdini’s stunts look like child’s play. In January 1956, a U.S. Air Force B-25 bomber made an emergency landing in the river, which passes through Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania... then promptly...
Most of the reading I've done on Poltergeist phenomena would seem to suggest that they fall into Colin Wilson's definition of them as "entities of relatively low intelligence possessing the same sort of humour found in adolescent boys" (paraphrased from memory)

I'm currently reading Defendámonos de los Dioses (Defend Ourselves Against the Gods) by former Spanish Jesuit Salvador Freixedo, an interesting book with a Vallée-esquean approach, somewhat rambling and paranoid, when I came upon a very brief reference near the end (p242):

Not being an expert on Crocodiles - Saltwater or otherwise - I find myself wondering:
a) Is there a likely upper figure for a community or is this wholly dependant on food availability?
b) Do crocodiles save food for later? Would there be a point at which they'd simply stop killing available...

The US Military was also said to have acquired a great deal of data on biological weapons from the infamous Japanese camp, where the POWs called Logs of Wood, were exposed to Typhus and routinely subjected to living autopsies. I've some details about this somewhere.
Here is a report on how the US Navy is using trained Sealions in the Gulf to spot potential saboteurs, then goes on to give other examples - Dolphins, kamikaze camels, bat bombs .etc.
I remember the dead rat bombs reported in FT a few months ago, but are there any other good examples? And do...
