As this year comes to a close, here are my top picks for interesting, strange and unexplained events that took place in 2008 making news headlines.

1) As people all across the world were ringing in the New Year, numerous eyewitnesses from California to London claimed to have seen strange, unexplained lights in the sky that night. New Years Eve UFO

4) World famous director and believer in paranormal phenomena, Steven Spielberg, announced he would be developing an online television program and social network where people could discuss paranormal and extraterrestrial events that they witnessed. "The Rising" was to be launched this fall. I am not sure what has happened and hope this project is still in the works. Spielberg to launch UFO and paranormal social network?

2008 was a good year for the paranormal community despite some knuckle heads looking for their 15 minutes of fame.

We also saw the return of Ghost Adventurers this fall after the infamous flying brick incident captured on film in 2007.

I can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for us!
