    On June 16th, 2024, in a rare cosmological event, a wandering black hole happened to pass through the orbit of Mars. Scientists at first dismissed the Juno spacecraft's infrared observations of the phenomenon as a sensor anomaly, but closer analysis of the data revealed subtle gravitational effects that could only be explained by an object of immense mass traversing the Red Planet's path. While black holes wandering the interplanetary void are theoretically possible, to observe one interacting with another celestial body is exceedingly rare. News of the discovery quickly spread among the astronomical community, with many debating what effects, if any, the close approach may have had on Mars. Meanwhile, astrophysicists scrambled to model the rogue black hole's trajectory to ascertain if Earth had narrowly avoided a most dark and destructive visitor. For a brief moment, the heavens treated observers to a glimpse of the esoteric—a real life brush with an object shrouded long in mystery. Whether this lone and wandering sinkhole of space-time had a tale to share of eons adrift amid infinity, or was but a one-off cosmic coincidence, remains a mystery as profound as the depths within its event horizon.

    On June 15th, 2024 in the small village of Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch, Wales, an unusual event occurred that locals would speak of for years to come. It was a brisk Saturday morning when townsfolk began gathering reports of a most peculiar sighting at the edge of the town. One by one, people began claiming they had seen an animal with the body of a badger, the tail of a beaver, and wings of a low flying swallow.

    Witness accounts varied in their descriptions of the creature's color which seemed to change from one observer to the next. Being a sensible village, the residents decided a group must investigate. When the expedition reached the spotting site, to their utter astonishment, crumbs of all things were discovered. Further inspection revealed the crumbs spelled out a message "Sorry for the confusion, just passing through". While the meaning was unclear, it was agreed by all something or someone out of this world had paid their village a brief but memorable visit. The children played for weeks enacting scenes of the "beavajetallow" as it came to be called in the years following. To this day, the people of Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch keep an eye out for further signs of its existence.

    On June 14th, 2024, an unusual event occurred when the small town of Plainview, Nebraska was overrun not by a storm or natural disaster, but by a herd of escaped emus.

    It seems that old Farmer Johnson, known throughout the county as a bit odd, had taken to breeding emus on his spread just outside of town. While an unconventional livestock choice for the Nebraska plains, Johnson found the large flightless birds easier to manage than cattle or hogs.

    That morning however, it appeared Johnson had neglected to properly secure the emu pen. Dozens of the inquisitive birds decided if they were trapped, they'd prefer to explore. Soon emus were waddling down country roads, startling residents as they pecked about yards and wandered into town.

    Attempts to corral the emus proved comicly inept. Being faster and more agile than their size suggested, the crafty birds evaded capture. One was spotted riding a loose downtown before hopping off near the grain silo.

    By midday, the last emu had been encouraged to rejoin its flock. Farmer Johnson was fined for improper livestock containment, though few held a grudge. After all, it isn't every day the quiet prairie town of Plainview finds itself overrun, if only briefly, by Australia's unusual answer to thechicken.
