A bright fireball streaked across southeast Texas skies, creating a booming rumble when a meteor broke through the Earth’s atmosphere on Saturday. One woman claims a fragment crashed through her home.
According to NASA, the meteor became visible over Stagecoach, traveling southeast at roughly 35,000 miles per hour before breaking apart roughly 29 miles above the Earth’s surface just west of Cyprus station around 4:40 p.m. Central Time.
The fragmentation of the meteor, which NASA said weighed roughly a ton and had a 3-foot diameter, created a pressure wave that caused a loud booming noise.
Let’s talk a bit about Mandela Effects, and specifically one strange Mandela Effect that I didn’t even know existed until tonight. I watched a video about how people say it existed, and once it became an issue in my mind, it started to bother me like it really did exist.
Let me explain.
You know those things above baby cribs? You know the word—a mobile. We’ve always called it a mobile. It’s always been known as a mobile. People for generations have said it’s a mobile. As a society we can agree on that, right?
Until you don’t.
Here’s the catch: tons of Reddit forums and different threads across the internet talk about how people remember there being a different word than mobile. They remember it to the point where it’s on the tip of their tongue, and they believe the word was something else entirely. For me.. and believe me, there are some Mandela Effects I really can’t explain.. this one immediately felt fanciful and a bit silly. The word was always mobile. I don’t remember anything different.
Until I started thinking about how other people remember the word being different. Then I started to wonder if the word potentially was different, and maybe I’m the one who’s wrong. I nearly second-guessed my sanity. I started second-guessing the idea that the word was always mobile to the point where I was calling family members and asking friends what they thought the word was.
They all convincingly responded: mobile. But when you sit with this idea long enough—when you let it dwell and fester—your brain starts to play tricks on you. You begin to wonder if it really was mobile, or if the people remembering a different word they can’t quite recall are actually right.
I’m a big fan of the movie Pontypool. It’s one of my favorite zombie horror films, about a mild-mannered, somewhat egotistical radio host broadcasting in the middle of the night from a snowy town. I love that theme. But in the film, people in the town begin to get infected by a strange virus that spreads through language. Words stop meaning what they should, and people begin to lose their understanding of them. It’s kind of like that old Twilight Zone episode from the 1980s called “Wordplay.” The one where a man slowly goes nuts while the entire world starts using words in ways that make no sense to him.
There’s something about forgetting words that’s genuinely frightening.
Maybe it’s because if you’ve seen Alzheimer’s or dementia in your family, there’s a real horror in forgetting words and forgetting things. Forgetting so much that you eventually become a vessel that feels empty.. without the material that used to fill your mind.
But Pontypool is all about language breaking down. In that movie it’s a zombie virus, of course, you have to make it scary somehow.
But the idea of words changing their meaning, people losing vocabulary, or even losing language entirely… that really gets under my skin. And it probably does for you too.
It’s strange how something so benign and mundane can somehow still be so terrifying. And that’s what makes this Mandela Effect a little eerie.
It’s not the usual example like the Berenstain Bears, or the story about Sinbad supposedly making a genie movie that he now says never existed. Instead, this one is about the most basic words we’ve known since babyhood.
It was taken by people inside windows of a cruise ship..
WHAT??? A 1911 historical GHOST SHIP spotted in Antartica. This isn’t AI. These people are on a cruise in Antarctica and from their cabin room window they spot this.
But there is no way it could withstand over 100 years of storms and terrain, yet still be out to sea.… pic.twitter.com/Auxk7PT8LK
What a weird day in news and politics.. reporters have been apprehensive about sharing or reporting this but the internet has gone wild with Trump and Jeffrey Epstein and now Bill Clinton connections..
One of the emails released, from Epstein’s brother Mark Epstein, has gone viral. In it, Mark speculates if Putin has a photo of “Trump blowing Bubba.”
The mention of the President “blowing Bubba” has caused a storm on social media, as ‘Bubba’ is the nickname of former President Bill Clinton, who is also alleged to have been associated with Epstein.
But people have taken it and molded it into thr political shocker worthy of a Trump Season 2 plot shift..
Drudge was in his glory mockinga Trump and also Clinton–hardening back to what got Drudge famous to begin with in the late 90s..
Meanwhile Trump raised eyebrows along with the volume at the White House…
Politico correspondent Jake Taylor noted on Friday afternoon that music from “The Phantom of the Opera” was playing so loudly it could be heard outside the White House. The president is said to be a notorious fan of Broadway show tunes and enjoys playing DJ at events.
If it’s Friday…. Trump is blaring “The Phantom of the Opera” at the White House. pic.twitter.com/Plzqc1I9UT
LoRemember a couple of years ago in Danville, Pennsylvania, when that truck full of monkeys crashed and they got loose for several days? Those monkeys were supposedly carrying some kind of virus, and the whole town was on edge while they ran around before finally being caught. Wild times.
Well, it’s happening again, this time in Mississippi.
Authorities there say several monkeys “have been destroyed,” but three are still on the loose after a truck carrying them crashed on Tuesday.
At first, the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department posted on Facebook that the rhesus monkeys were carrying Hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID, and were considered aggressive toward humans … meaning anyone handling them needed to wear protective gear.
But later, the sheriff’s office clarified those comments with a statement from Tulane University, confirming the monkeys were not infected after all.
Tulane University says they’ll be sending a team tomorrow to collect the remaining monkeys still in cages.
As of right now, police say three monkeys are still on the loose.
10,000 Foot Drop — Pilot Injured as Windshield Shatters Midflight!
A United Airlines flight from Denver to Los Angeles was forced to make an emergency landing in Salt Lake City on October 16, 2025, after the windshield of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 suddenly shattered midair.
Reports indicate that the plane dropped nearly 10,000 feet before stabilizing. One of the pilots suffered minor injuries from flying debris and shattered glass as the cockpit became littered with fragments.
Early speculation points to a possible meteorite strike or space debris impact, though officials haven’t confirmed a cause.
Despite the terrifying ordeal, the plane landed safely, and all 140 passengers and crew were reported safe.
So it’s October, it’s that creepy time of year. Bear with us on this one. We have written tons about malls over the years, the death of the mall.. and now we are writing about the birth of something new: A #Mallworld that people all over the real world are saying they have mapped out in their dreams…
x x x
At the time this is written, we are drenching our minds in the ‘creepy time of year’ stories.. Sometimes the creepy lasts all year..
Algorithms have given us a bit more hairs on arms raised up with this.. there’s something called Mall World.. Not sure if you .. or quite the opposite maybe you’ve had dreams about this place. Lots of others say they they.
We will give you the bird’s eye view of this interesting paranormal tale that people have suddenly been weaving online. It has been brewing under the surface of social media platforms for a while. While it reads like a Creepypasta, this one seems to have allies that call it true and people are saying, unless fiction, they have actually walked the floors of MallWorld..
It began to really evolve a few months ago.. and now a TikTok user has drawn it!
WELCOME TO MALLWORLD. DON’T FORGET TO WIPE YOUR FEET
A hand-drawn “Mall World” map has been circulating from TikTok creators who claim recurring dreams of the same sprawling complex. One widely shared version was posted by a creator Tiltonica whose map (featuring labeled zones like a non-functional highway and “incoming tsunami”) was re-uploaded and discussed in r/TheMallWorld on Reddit, triggering a wave of “I’ve seen this place too” replies.
Other TikTokers and users of other socials have posted their own long-running Mall World dream accounts. A recent roundup noted the sudden spike in posts and stitched videos comparing similar dream landmarks.
Lately, with people either loving the tale and wanting in, or people genuinely believing they are experiencing this mass dream hallucination, there are plans online between people to try meeting up and talking to each other in Mall World–and many who are saying they are doing it already!
Some people claim that those who visit Mall World were the same who were in the famous Gate program in the 1980s and 90s for gifted students in schools across America..
She is also selling her hand drawn Mall World map for $3 a pop..
OPENING THE GATES TO MALLWORLD
GATE stands for “Gifted and Talented Education,” a catch-all label for United States school services that boast they will accelerate or enrich curricula for students who test in roughly the top percentiles… GATE grew out of mid-late 20th-century pushes to serve advanced learners.. think the 1972 federal Marland Report, the 1983 reform manifesto A Nation at Risk, and the 1988 Jacob K. Javits Act, which framed gifted education as mainstream schooling and not a covert CIA or Department of Energy project. Experts will tell us, that despite what people collectively claim, there is no evidence connecting GATE to any nefarious alphabet agency mind control tests.. BUT…. popular comparisons to Stranger Things draw instead on real, but separate, Cold-War history like CIA projects MKULTRA and the Army’s “Gateway Process” memo about altered-state training… documents that are declassified but unrelated to K-12 gifted classes. (And if you’re into this stuff, you may like our CIA reading room )
Others say it was just an education mission and a mundane government operation.. And if it was not, what was the government trying to do? Create super soldiers? Future scientists? CIA operatives? Black Ops? Psychological warfare? Remote viewing? Crushing a Coke can with a brain? Certainly the government never tried any of that.. Oh wait.. Maybe check our that CIA reading room for sure..
Well, enter the Mall World where, it is claimed, those same people who were in this GATE are suddenly being thrust into the dream world about this liminal space with no exit.. A place with elaborate storefronts and a hospital and toiletries, and all these different endless rooms think the back rooms, but just with more things in them.
The dive we did on this was deep–so much so that we were confronted by several accounts that put so much faith in Mall World, there was even debate to whether it was good or Satanic to be comfortable being there..
It does not matter if YOU believe Mall World exists.. people do.
We consider ourselves skeptics–not skeptics for the sake of just denying things for fun, but instead asking hard questions and looking at evidence of claims..
In this case of Mall World, it is a narrative now being claimed by so many–but are they feeding off of each other, and using the map from Tiltonica as a jumping off point to take the story where they want regardless of truth?
Your dreams are your own .. and you often remembers pieces of them, and sometimes nothing at all. It is open for perception and false memory as well.
I myself have never been to Mall World in my dream.. I have had dreams where I explored places in my own home or schools that don’t exist in real life. But no dream.. no musack.. no empty stores. As we have lamented, we miss the real malls of our waking life..
But is there some other theory here that can work? Carl Jung had a theory that mass consciousness dreams that can tap into the collective unconscious, a shared reservoir of universal human experiences, symbols, and archetypes, rather than being solely personal…
This could all be just a huge mass awakening–or people are having fun with Mall World and it is just a big new Internet fiction tale.
But when you read something like this REDDIT comment, you will realize that it not only is considered true by many writing these posts, but they are also angry that that Tilton video and Mall World concept is going as mainstream as it is..
Nobody should go follow that Creator on tiktok. She just made a video saying how she doesn’t care if it goes mainstream and ruins it for everybody and she doesn’t care if the community crashes and burns.
As said before.. whether you believe in this or not, it doesn’t matter. Others do. And they are mapping out a new world that exists only when they sleep..
It appears from what we found, this story actually dates back to the mid-summer of 2025, but it is just becoming a bit viral on social media now as opposed to then. And when you listen to the audio of a 911 call that has been released, you can see why..
You can hear it here, with someone calling 911 to say he thought he saw someone on the side of the road bleeding..
The 911 operator asks several more questions about the whereabouts of them man, there is a loud noise and suddenly the caller begins screaming frantically that something ‘not human’ is in the bed of his truck..
So the first reaction.. what in the world was this call about and is it even real.
This video can assist with some background on the story, with interviews with the Sheriff and more details about the town, and the call that occurred to 911:
The sheriff said the caller said the creature was beating on the top of the truck, and was eventually able to identify the object in the truck. The caller slammed on his breaks and the inertia threw the entity onto the highway, it stood up, and then entered the woods and disappeared..
The Carolina Case Files account interviewed the man who called 911, but did not share his name or face.. But the witness said he was coming up from Florida to visit his family.. When he was driving through North Carolina .. the witness said that a man was standing in a ditch wearing what appeared to be a torn Civil War uniform–odd to see after midnight on a highway.. The caller called 911 because he thought the man needed emergency assistance .. The caller said he suddenly heard a massive bang on the truck, and it bounced down from the rear end of the vehicle… The 911 call becomes what the caller said is now the audio evidence..
The caller said he saw a “snow white face” that was looking into his truck, it had sunken eyes and no nose.. He said think if you took skin and put it on a human skull and stretched it.. that description sounds horrifying and you can tell, if this is what he saw, why he screamed ‘this is not human’ to the 911 operator..
He said he was doing 80mph, slammed his breaks with all of his might, and he saw the “super scrawny long body” fly out of his car.. He said it stood up and it was taller than his 6″ truck, he said the creature was easily 7 feet.. It bolted to the left into the woods, not to be seen again..
The Youtube video from Carolina Case Files shows that the channel did its homework, interviewing both the sheriff and the 911 caller.. No one seems to want attention or fame, and it does not appear anyone is monetizing the ‘entity’ call at this point. It has the earmarks, to us at least, or being real enough to be … real. And real enough to be possible…
The testimony from the truck owner seems legitimate .. But there is only one hole in the story at this point–no pictures of the truck. The caller describes scratch marks but we have not been shown them in this video or any other sources that are able to be found ..
That said, minus the missing photos, it seems that the caller was one of distress and the police investigated the serious nature of the situation…
The story KEEPS getting weirder and more and more people are taking notice to it..
We are still following Kin from Panama and whether he really has a pet alien growing in a safe.. Debate is raging! But lots of people are freaking out while others are trying their hardest to debunk what they feel is a big hoax on TikTok..
Here is a quick rehash for those who were not following coverage of the story..
The individual, who identifies himself as only Kin online, said he discovered a small, silver-colored space rock in a fiery crater in Panama on August 29…
Since then, he has shared a series of videos on TikTok showing what he described as the meteorite burning leaves on contact and an unruly, tentacled organism sprouting from within it.
A week after his initial post, he claimed that the crater ‘shines at night,’ sharing footage of the dark site glowing mysteriously.
The most recent video at the time this is being posted is imagery of an “alien” that continues to grow!
Reddit user HighStrangeness is trying to provide a more scientific explanation.. According to the post, the mysterious black substance exposed in Panama is not an alien meteorite entity at all but rather a silicone-based polymer known as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), combined with small amounts of hexane, a common organic solvent. Both materials are widely used in everyday applications ranging from medical implants to cookware. The unsettling “wiggling” and “breathing” movements seen in the videos were attributed to a phenomenon called swelling-induced snapping motion. When PDMS absorbs hexane, it swells; as the solvent evaporates or redistributes, different parts of the polymer contract at uneven rates. This creates sudden snapping movements that appear organic, almost as if the material were alive. The irregular rhythm of the contractions mimicked muscle-like motion, while PDMS’s flesh-like texture and the black coloration amplified the alien illusion.
People are going to still debate–and we are still going to be following Kin for as many updates as we can get..
One thing, the biggest thing for us, is that Kin does not seem to have any history on his Tiktok of doing anything like this for attention. If this was a big hoax, or a movie promotion or ad, you would think there would be more potential connections to things like that in the past. But there is none.. it all starts with that little potato looking thing.. and now it has legs.
Whether fake or not, I guess we will keep watching to see what happens next..
