\"\"<\/a>The Press<\/a> has reported that a woman from York, England captured an unexplained airborne object in photographs that she snapped while vacationing in Germany.<\/p>\n

While most UFO sightings involve objects that appear to be technologically superior vehicles from OUT OF THIS WORLD<\/a>, the entity that that was photographed by 22 year-old woman named Abbey — who was on holiday in Nuremberg, Germany with her boyfriend — seems to defy conventional description.<\/p>\n

Abbey — a student at Newcastle University who requested to American Monsters that her last name be withheld — claims that she did not even notice the unusual “thing” in her picture until she looked over the images later:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was taking lots of photos to show people where we\u2019d been, but when I got back into the car I noticed there was something on this one. I just though, \u2018What it that? That looks weird\u2019, and couldn\u2019t work out what it was.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Abbey showed the picture to friends and family, including a photography student, but no one could identify the apparently living AVIAN ANOMALY<\/a> in question, although her mother, Bev, offered some interesting ideas:<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought it looked like a cherub. I also thought it looked a bit like a naked Buzz Lightyear toy, but could be a bee or an insect or something.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>For anyone interested in cryptozoology or the paranormal it is difficult not to see this as yet UNCLASSIFIED<\/a> beast as looking suspiciously like eyewitness descriptions of the MOTHMAN. This notorious fiend — as well as others of its ilk such as the CRIMEAN WAR MONSTROSITIES<\/a> — is regarded by many to be a prophet of doom, appearing right before tragic events.<\/p>\n

As if to fuel the fire of this speculation, Bev, while researching the area online to discover whether or not there was any news about this odd being, found there had been a fatal crash at an airshow near Nuremberg earlier this summer. Whether or not this tragic event occurred before or after the photo was taken was not specified. According to Bev:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a crash on September 5 where one person was killed and nearly 40 injured… it\u2019s really odd.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
