Mysterious Mysteries: UFO spotted above Honor Hold

Lebowski, the resident engineering trainer, teaches his classes not too far from there. "One of my students pointed to it and asked me what it was," He told Mysterious Mysteries earlier this afternoon, "and this gave me the perfect opportunity to unveil my latest invention, the Telesupernaturaspectroscope! It may seem like a mere [Ornate Spyglass], but I have fitted it with a [Super-snapper FX] and a coating of [Ghost Dye], thus allowing us to capture images of spectral creatures while observing from a safe distance!"
The Telesupernaturaspectrograph Lebowski took is quite chilling indeed. "You can see here," he tells us, "the Unexplainable Freaky Owl -- or 'UFO' as I call it -- is not only blue, but it seems to have gaping holes in its wings! Yet it flies! I suspect the alchemists are up to something!"
We questioned Alchemist Gribble and Magus Zabraxis inside the alchemists tower as to what they think about this strange UFO flying about their tower. Miss Zabraxis replied that she didn't know about freaky owls but offered to show us her latest experiment, while Mr. Gribble stated, "It is the obvious result of conditions and circumstances which brought about its existence! Now go away and come back when you're ready to learn Extremely Advanced Alchemy!" Rorelien, the night elven Herbalist Trainer was seen to be lurking suspiciously in the background, but she declined to comment.
Have you spotted any strange or inexplicable items or creatures in your journeys around Outland? Have you any theories as to what they're there for?

I'm going to make a movie of all the weird glitches and strange things I've seen - eventually. Every time I see something, I try to FRAPS it and I save it in a folder called Glitch Videos. :P

@5 its not a glitch, but Midevh's gryphon. if you were to have read the book (uber nerdy) youd know he has his own mount, and its fiercely loyal.
@6 LOL i once knew a female dorf rogue. On bloodscalp..name was wildwolf...ugly as sin lol

twice, in thunderbluff, i've seen characters who are all all blacked out. like just a 3D silhouette walking around. i don't know if it's a glitch, something about their addons. maybe they did it on purpose? or maybe it's some weird quest? who knows?

Sarah-- It's a glitch. I get it a lot when I'm leveling myself and alt-tab between the accounts too much.

Is it targetable and attackable? I'd love to find a way to pull it down and tame it :P

Phantasmal Lash (I think its called), I think I've seen them before in moonglade. They look just like that one. What it is doing above Honor hold, I have no idea...

One of my friends told me I appeared mounted during one of our rep farming sessions. He said I was just running around on my skeletal warhorse while casting spells from the back of it.
If only...

Around 3 months ago when I was in Westfall, after 60 seconds after I landed off the griffin and walked away, my girlfriend yelled out WHAT! After much confusion I finally got her to send me the following screen shot of myself on a griffin, sitting there idle next to the lumber mill. She said it had a full movement animation when I walked around. I couldnt see it on my screen but it was on her's for a fairly long time, and she wasn't getting lag.

Flying Bloodelves in Netherstorm... they patched it, at the same time introducing Flying Skettis Birdman. Gotta love being a druid in disguise. :P
Alliance character and I was Lobster Cage farming for a Fishing Pole in Desolace near the Horde Base, when I saw a Tauren fly slowly past me on a Wyvern... 20 metres under water. :P (Major Lag Spike)
