    OP has submitted this link elsewhere. In the comments there, in response to someone asking about the site’s legitimacy, I checked and then commented:

    OP is also the only person who’s submitting the site here. Also, one of the links from the site that they submitted here is of “Interesting video from South America showing what looks like an alien abduction”, to which OP added the comment “Kiind of interesting don’t know if you guys can see the person being sucked into the cloud”. So yeah, I suspect you are correct to be dubious about this source.
