Sheriff's Deputy Shot; Suspect KilledA sheriff's deputy in eastern Arizona is hospitalised in critical condition after being shot while trying to arrest a suspect. The suspect was in turn shot and killed. The confrontation occurred in the town of Eager around midnight. Department of Public Safety spokesman Officer Steve Volden says the Apache County sheriff's deputy was shot twice in the head. He was airlifted to a Phoenix hospital. His name wasn't immediately released. Volden says the deputy was among several officers who were attempting to arrest 58-year-old William Milton Cooper of Eagar. Volden says Cooper had been armed with a handgun. He says details of the shooting will be released later at a news conference. DPS was called in to investigating the shooting.

Alleged Chupacabras Capture Causes a Stir"Yes, it's true. They finally caught that weird thing. They said it was holed up in a cave. That's good, because we were very frightened by that critter," said Miguel Gonzalez, a resident of the community of O'Higgins in the city of Huasco, in Chile's 3rd Region. Gonzalez is not alone: a growing number of local residents claim that the mythic Chupacabras, the beast which has allegedly roamed all over Chile sucking blood and killing harmless farm animals, has been captured by a family of this northern city. "They say its just rumours, but I'm certain that it's the plain and honest truth. It's just that people were tired of seeing their animals lying around dead all on account of this creature," says Pamela Alegria, a resident of Condell Sur. Maria Gutierrez, who lives in the same town, agrees with Pamela: "It's been seen a lot in these parts, especially at night. It's true that the descriptions change a lot. Some say it's like a kangaroo with wings, others say it is like a strange bird. What doesn't change is the manner in which the deaths occur, and people are tired of these attacks," she claims. For more than a year, thousands of animals have turned up dead under mysterious circumstances in the northern region of the country. The animals present twin puncture marks on their necks and are bled dry. "A co-worker of mine saw it about a week ago. He heard a strange noise on his rooftop and crafted a plan with his wife: he would open the door and she would turn on the lights," states Jorge, also a resident of Condell Sur. The plan worked perfectly. "Only a few meters away from my compadre there stood a creature resembling a bat, but larger and about one meter tall, making an effort to climb the wall. Unfortunately, the thing managed to get away. Now they say that it's been trapped at the Pellet plant, a mining zone to the south of Huasco, near the coast, "explains Jorge. The Carabineros (state police) of the Huasco Deputy Sheriff's office insist that such claims are merely rumours. "People around these parts make up a lot of things. Up to now we haven't received any claims, nor have we taken any measures in this regards," declared a police spokesman. Translation (c) 2001. Scott Corrales, Institute of Hispanic Ufology. Special thanks to Gloria Coluchi. UFO SIGHTINGSMATLOCK, DERBYSHIRE. UK.A NERVOUS Winster driver was just seconds away from photographing a UFO on Halloween night. (October 31) Derek Holmes (66) was driving home from Cromford when he spotted a strange bright light in the sky. Mr Holmes, from Lea Croft Road, said: "I thought to myself; 'good God! what is that. I could see this very big, bright, white object. At first I thought it was a car coming from the other direction, but then realised it was not moving. I felt nervous, it was a peculiar feeling, I had read before about UFOs thinking there must be some simple explanation." The UFO was first spotted by Mr Holmes on Bonsall Moor near the Salters Lane junction at 10.32pm. As he drove nearer the light it was obviously not a road vehicle but a round airborne object, with curved edges. Slowing down, Mr Holmes searched for a safe place to stop on the narrow road, to capture the brilliant image on film. But despite having a camera in the back he was too slow. "The size of the light went down, it was as if someone had hit a dimmer switch and it went yellow," added Mr Holmes. "It started to move into the distance and then disappeared altogether."
ANOTHER SIGHTINGIs the Bonsall UFO back in the Dales? On Monday night, Matlock landlady Karen Sismey looked out over the veranda from the Thorn Tree Inn on Jackson Tor Road to spy a similar object in the same area. "My husband Phil had been out there at around 10.45pm when he saw something hovering in the sky, so he shouted me and I came out with my binoculars," said Mrs Sismey. "It was over Bonsall and it must have been just there for a good 15 minutes. It was showing very vivid colours with red at the bottom, and then ranging from emerald and blue colours to a bright lemon yellow." The object was seen by other visitors to the Thorn Tree, including a BBC cameraman filming in the area - but unfortunately he did not have his camera to hand. "It was too far away to say how big it was but it must have been big for me to be able to see it," Mrs Sismey added. "It was not a helicopter or an aeroplane and I know that it shouldn't normally be there." |

MORE SIGHTINGSUnexplained activity still mystifies Derbyshire Dales residents after a Matlock teacher spotted a UFO on Thursday October 18th. A cold was keeping Joan Green awake at 02:25 when she spotted three red, blue and silver lights moving in a random pattern. She said: "My son thought I had taken too many 'Lemsips (a hot lemon drink in the UK. Ed). but I am certainly not 'losing it' and seeing things in the sky. After I first saw it, I went outside where there was no reflection from the window. I went and got the binoculars and I could see what looked like tiny triangles. I returned inside and prowled about intrigued, I had a look at an Ordinance Survey map and used a path finder compass to find out exactly where it was. After a few minutes, Mrs Green pinpointed the sighting to be over Bonsall. At 02:55, she looked into the sky to find the lights were closer to the ground. The first sighting was at 45 degrees to Mrs Green, the latter at 25 degrees. MATLOCK IS UFO HOTSPOT OF BRITAIN
