PALM BAY, Fla.
- A mysterious, fiery object falling from the sky was reported in
Brevard County, prompting authorities to launch a search, officials
said.
Nothing was found after 911 callers reported seeing a fiery object falling to the ground.
The
calls were received about 7 a.m. Thursday, with reports of the
mysterious object striking the area near the Interstate 95 onramp on the
southbound side of Palm Bay Road.
Although
spawning salmon are still returning to British Columbia’s rivers –
including some, surprisingly, to urban streams – early returns indicate
another troubling year, despite some bright spots.
“It
really is a mixed bag this year,” said Brian Riddell, president and CEO
of the Pacific Salmon Foundation. “How the heck can we sum it up? I’d
say it’s the good, the bad and the mysterious.”
There
were good sockeye salmon returns to the Great Central Lake system on
Vancouver Island and to the Nass River on the North Coast, he said.
But
contrasting that were very poor returns on the Fraser River, where only
about two million sockeye returned, far short of the more than six
million predicted in preseason forecasts. Even more dramatic was the
collapse of the pink salmon on the Fraser, with only about five million
fish showing up when more than 14 million had been forecast.
The
federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans declined to provide a
spokesperson to talk about the salmon runs, saying it is too early to
have firm numbers.
But Dr. Riddell said
it is possible at this point to paint a broad picture, and the
indication is that some stocks are in serious trouble.

The
late South Thompson sockeye run has seen far fewer fish than expected,
but the federal fisheries department says it’s still very preliminary
with the final numbers not known until late December or January.
“In
terms of the sockeye return, it’s much more disappointing than people
were hoping to see this year,” said Greg Taylor, senior fisheries
adviser for the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, a Vancouver-based
non-profit organization that monitors wild salmon.
“They arrive in the spawning grounds in October, and the numbers they’re seeing are disturbingly low.”
Taylor
noted that the Pacific Salmon Commission’s (PSC) pre-run estimate of
1.24 million late-run salmon was dropped to 200,000 for the entire
Fraser River run, which includes the South Thompson, the Little Shuswap,
Shuswap Lake and Adams River.
“It’s a very dramatic reduction.”
Although
federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) officials cannot be
interviewed about the preliminary numbers or the reasons for the smaller
runs, a DFO update on Oct. 29 indicated that estimates of sockeye in
the South Thompson were lower than expected.
Meager salmon catch one of worst seasons for Sonoma County fishermen

Commercial
salmon fishing got off to a slow start in May due to windy weather and
has stayed in a slump that local fishermen are blaming on unusually warm
ocean water in one of the worst king salmon seasons in memory.
Some
Bodega Bay-based anglers gave up rather than scramble for meager
catches of underweight and undersized salmon, despite the relatively
high dockside prices of $5 to $8 a pound.
Seafood
distributors, meanwhile, are bringing in fresh, wild salmon from Fort
Bragg and the Klamath River region in California to as far north as
Alaska and Canada. “There’s always some fish around,” said Michael Lucas
of North Coast Fisheries, a Santa Rosa wholesaler.
On Monday, local stores had salmon on ice for $16 to $20 a pound.
But
for local fishermen, the season is a bust, with the catch through
August at 30 percent of last year’s harvest and equally shy of the
forecast for the current season.
What is it? Weird glowing blue sea creature that eats jellyfish washes up on Australian beach

Blue glaucus aka Blue Dragon
A strange and seldom-seen sea creature has made a rare public appearance.
This is the Blue Dragon - or glaucus atlanticus - which was caught on camera after washing up on Australia's Gold Coast.
The
bizarre-looking creature is in fact a sea slug, and feeds on blue
bottle jellyfish - otherwise known as Portugese Man O' War.
While the jellyfish has a powerful sting that can severely injure humans, the Blue Dragon is unaffected by the venom.
In fact, the Blue Dragon packs a fairly nasty sting of its own.

A third mysterious black space object to fall from the sky into rural Spain has caused panic among locals.
The
strange-looking black orb was found in the village of Villavieja in
Murcia - becoming the latest instance of an increasingly bewildering
phenomenon, the Olive Press reported.
It's not yet known what the objects are, though theories range from UFOs to pieces of space debris.
The
first instance of the strange phenomenon occurred one week ago, when
Spanish goat farmers discovered the strange object, which bears a
striking resemblance to the Star Wars torture device, the IT-O Interrogator, in Calasparra, Murcia.
The
Civil Guard were called to investigate the black orb and the area was
subsequently put under quarantine. Pictured is the second object to be
found in the village earlier this week
The
Civil Guard stated the object was an aerospace artefact and pointed to
the possibility that it fell from a rocket or a satellite.
However, a few days later a second orb fell from the sky.
According to The Mirror, Jose Velez, the mayor of Calasparra, implored authorities to provide answers to worried residents.
'Where are these objects coming from? Why are they falling here precisely?'
GWINNETT
COUNTY, Ga. -- It is a steady staccato beat, unerring and continuous.
Just low enough in frequency to be annoying, yet strong enough to
literally shake a house.
Several in fact.
Nerves too have
been shaken in this community along Little Mill Road in Gwinnett County,
when neighbors awoke to the strange vibrations.
"This is my wine
cooler," said resident Gayle Akana, demonstrating the way the appliance
vibrates. "And if you (touch it), it stops. And that's what happened
with the vibration when we like pressed against the wall or bed."
Akana says her house shook for six hours.
"It
was just shaking like crazy," Akana said. "It was real quick; I can't
even replicate the sound it was making. It was just a constant shaking."
At
first she thought there was a problem with the pump or pipes in her
backyard pond. But a quick check there showed nothing but sleeping koi.
That's when she went to the computer and noticed that Facebook started
blowing up with other neighbors reporting the same mysterious
phenomenon.
