In the 2016 film “Arrival,” actress Amy Adams plays a linguist tasked with figuring out how to communicate with aliens that have landed on Earth. Visually, the aliens, called heptapods, are a testament to masterful movie magic: everything from their subtle, fluid movements to the thick atmosphere in which they breathe fits our idea of biological possibility. These otherworldly life forms seem indeed feasible, even real.
But perhaps what makes Arrival’s heptapods more believable is that they’re not all that weird to begin with. From the shape of its body to its tentacles and its ability to spray a kind of ink, it makes heptapods resemble the most alien intelligent life on Earth: cephalopods (squid and octopus). And the truth is that our species has always been fascinated by the idea of extraterrestrial life. Centuries before the birth of Jesus Christ, scholars suggested that life could exist on other worlds, including our own moon. Given the alien nature of octopuses and their relatives, it is perhaps not surprising that they have inspired books and movies. But perhaps the creatures in Arrival are much more than science fiction.
strange creatures in the sky
A man recently recorded a video of two mysterious objects with tenacles in the sky, fueling speculation that they could be UFOs and even alien creatures. According to the little information we have, the incident occurred in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA, on August 29, 2021 and was witnessed by a person named Josh Stoner, who, intrigued by the presence of two mysterious objects in the sky, decided to record them with your smartphone.
The description of the video posted by the YouTube channel WooGlobe says that two mysterious and spooky objects were seen in the sky over Colorado Springs, Colorado. Recorded by Josh Stoner, the video shows the man freaking out over a “couple of unexplained things” flying across the sky.
“As he was leaving the gym, I saw something pretty weird in the sky,” Stoner said, according to WooGlobe. “Some people said it was a Starling formation, but I’m sure it wasn’t. Kites were the next popular option. Anyway, HELP!”
As can be seen in the images, two strange dark-colored objects fly through the partly cloudy sky. During the only 31 seconds that the video lasts, they seem to be flying in circles, with no apparent direction. Whether they are objects or creatures, they appear to have some kind of thin tentacles that move as they hover in the sky. Unfortunately we don’t know what happened to such entities, as the video suddenly cuts out.
“It’s those things that are in the sky right now,” Stoner can be heard saying in the video. “What the hell are the things that are in the sky. Explanation.”
And how could it be otherwise, Stoner’s request has not been long in coming. There were many Internet users who wanted to offer their theories and explanations for such anomalies in the sky. Some assured that without a doubt the images show extraterrestrial creatures visiting us on our planet, which due to the weather conditions at the time could be seen without any problems.
Others argued that they bear some similarity to the dementors from Harry Potter. As Professor Remus Lupine explains to Potter, Dementors are among the most nauseating creatures in the world. They infest the darkest and dirtiest places. They enjoy the despair and destruction of others, they take peace, hope and joy from everything around them. If someone gets too close to a dementor, it will take away every last positive feeling and every last blissful memory. If he can, the dementor will feed on him until he turns him into his own: a soulless and evil being. He will leave him with nothing but the worst experiences of his life. So the video would show that the dementors are much more than just characters created by the writer J.K. Rowling, they are supernatural beings that are among us.
Also, this would not be the only incident that occurred with waists similar to Dementors. In 2018, a strange figure appeared in the clouds above a shopping center in the city of Kitwe, Zambia, causing dozens of customers to flee in panic. Images of the alleged apparition showed a humanoid head with a gigantic torso, much like the creepy dementors guarding the Azkaban prison in the Harry Potter saga. The strange phenomenon was photographed in the sky over the Mukuba shopping center in the African city of Kitwe in north central Zambia.
As could be seen in the striking images, the figure appeared to be composed of a dark solid material rather than part of the clouds. Based on the cars and buildings in the images, the strange being would appear to be over 100 meters long. Zambian news agencies reported that witnesses said the mysterious figure stayed in the sky for about half an hour, appearing to be looking down in the direction of the mall. Both the customers who were shopping at the mall and the neighbors who witnessed the event thought it was a divine manifestation.
Although many Internet users have been fascinated by the sighting that occurred in Colorado Springs, the most skeptical said that it is simple comets or, in any case, a hoax made with a video edition.
And what do you think about the sighting in Colorado Springs? Alien creatures, Harry Potter Dementors, comments, or a well-crafted hoax?
