While I'm sure that most of these (if not all of them) have practical explanations- one stuck out to me. The hook island sea monster. Only because I had just read this article - http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/6333380 It's about a sea monster spotted off the coast of New Zealand and seems to look similar to the hook island monster.
I believe the Hook Island photos (there were at least two) were proven to be hoaxed; the photo used to portray the Black Knight is not of "the" Black Knight, but that of a generic piece of space junk; and those commenting on the story are correct about the article: horrendous, non-existent proofreading and fact-checking.
Concerning the Hessdalen lights and this most famous picture (and video), my co-author and myself have proposed an alternative hypothesis article (in English).
So for those who it may concern: http://skepticversustheflyingsaucers.blogspot.fr/2014/06/the-famous-hessdalen-2007-picture-and.html
Perhaps these photos are evidence of infotainment in order to sublimate the increasing world events that could once be considered in their own right, abnormal. As in the worldview of those drawn to experiential anomalies, for both the skeptic and the believer in any old tale, or photograph as in the world of consensus, the bar is slowly perhaps imperceptibly has been slowly lowered.

Gilles, a very good comment. Since the last 7 years, the blunders made by the researchers at Hessdalen have been very disappointing. We are not talking about reports made by the general public here, but observational data acquired supposedly under a scientific framework by trained people. In science, data verification for errors is an essential part of the process. Are they aware of their errors?
I am hoping that they will be more rigorous in their approach otherwise they will lose all their credibility. Several years ago, the Hessdalen project was cited as an example as how the study of unidentified aerial phenomena should be made. I am still convinced that instrumental observation is the way to go in the study of unidentified aerial phenomena (in addition to a sociological study of the human aspects of ufology).
Thank you very much for your comments and sorry to react a little late :)
I agree, the goal of such "papers" at my blog is to avoid false alarms IF a true HP exists, false alarms due to several technical problems (artefacts, lens- flares, and so on) as more sociopsychological and Cultural ones.
