Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Just in time for Father's Day comes a story about a father who saved the day when he rescued his daughter from being eaten by a shark. Unfortunately the attack off the North Carolina cost the teenager her leg, but it could have been much worse if the girl's dad had not intervened in the most awesome way possible

Paige Winter, 17, of Havelock was attacked by a shark while standing in waist-deep water off Atlantic Beach, as her father stood nearby, according to a GoFundMe page that has raised more than $23,000. The beach is located at the southern tip of the Outer Banks, north of Jacksonville.

The father, Charlie Winter, is a firefighter and paramedic with the City of Havelock Fire and Rescue and served in the Marines, according to the campaign.

Paige lost part of one leg above the knee and some fingers, the girl's grandmother Janet Winter posted. "Thank God our son was with her," the woman wrote. "He said he punched the shark in the face five times before it let go."

Family friend Brandon Bersch confirmed the punches in an interview with the "Today" show, saying Charlie Winter "began striking the shark on the nose."


Bizarrely,
Lewis

Mysterious UFO Filmed Over Area 51

An unidentified flying object has been filmed from a mountain overlooking top secret US air base Area 51. Hikers scaled Tikaboo Peak in Navada to overlook the secretive base which is thought to be where the latest aircraft technology is tested. In the video a strange floating object can be seen close to a plane entering a hangar--though it is unlikely to be alien activity. A huge new hangar can also been seen. The largest change to the base in almost ten years. It's hard to see in the blurry footage and impossible to tell what the image really is, but a white saucer-shaped object definitely appears to hover in the air. While some claim the base has been shut down, the YouTuber who took the video filmed helicopters, trucks and planes on the site.

94-year-old WW II Vet Gets Diploma

A 94-year-old Chicago man who missed his high school graduation due to World War II walked across the stage at his old school to accept his diploma 76 years later. William C. Wagner, 76, said he missed his graduation at Tilden High School in 1944 when he left to serve in the war, but his son, Forrest Wagner, secretly arranged for a diploma to be issued for his father in time for his birthday in March. "I was in my last half of my senior year," Wagner said. "I went to draft board and they said, 'Punk you got a number, you got to go.'" Wagner walked across the stage with the Tilden High School class of 2019. Wagner isn't the oldest person to be awarded a high school diploma -- Fred Butler, 106, was awarded a diploma from Beverly High School in Massachusetts in 2013, nearly a century after he dropped out of school in the eighth grade to help support his family.
