06-25-2024 - On This Day in Insane History

On June 25th, 2024, something truly bizarre occurred in the small village of Dull, Scotland. Several residents of Dull reported seeing a strange flash in the sky around 9:50 am, followed by a loud booming sound. When investigation teams arrived on the scene, they found a large circular patch of scorched earth in one of the village pastures. In the center lay the smoldering remains of an unknown metallic object roughly the size of a small automobile.

Initial examinations of the object were inconclusive as to its origins, as its composition did not match any known alloys or technologies. Further adding to the mystery was a complete lack of identification numbers, labels or transmitters that would normally be expected on an aircraft or spacecraft. The local cattle meanwhile were found in a state of disarray, with Farmer McDougal reporting his prized herd experiencing symptoms akin to intoxication including impaired movement and bouts of euphoric mooing.

As night fell, eyewitness reports grew even stranger, with multiple villagers convinced they saw mysterious lights drifting across the moors. When investigators went to search at daybreak, all traces of the strange object had vanished without a trace. To this day the incident remains an official mystery, though the annual Dull UFO Festival ensures the village maintains its reputation as the centre of eccentric Scottish folklore and paranormal oddities. Whether 2021 will bring further visitations from the unknown remains to be seen.
