Russian news agency Itar-Tass quoted a source in the administration of the Tashtagol district of the Perm Region as saying that the incident took place in April this year near the village of Senzaskiye Kichi. The village is located 140 kilometers away from the nearest human settlement and the only connection with its residents is by helicopter. The latest flight to the village brought back a written report about the encounter with the so-called Bigfoot.
The letter read that professional hunter Afanasiy Kiskorov together with several other hunters was fishing when they heard a loud cracking of ice and a howl. When they approached the source of the noise, the hunters saw an unusual creature described as “like a huge man covered in dark brown fur.” The creature was in the river, about 10 meters from the bank and it unsuccessfully tried to get out of the water and stand upright.

Kiskorov rushed to the rescue and reached out for the drowning creature with a dry tree branch. “Bigfoot” then grabbed the branch, got onto shore, and walked away.
Authorities in the Kemerovo Region have repeatedly released stories of Bigfoot sightings over the past few years. According to them, those interested in cryptozoology could help to develop the Siberian tourism industry.

BEIJING, April 15 -- As reported by the Global
Times on March 29 this mystery beast resembling a chupacabra, upper, is
seen shortly after its capture in a village in Suining, Sichuan
Province.
A chupacabra ("goat-sucker"), is a legendary,
fearsome and possibly mythical beast said to inhabit parts of the
Americas and Puerto Rico, but not China nor anywhere in Asia.
Following the Global Times report, the Daily
Telegraph in England claimed to have interviewed a Chinese hunter in
Sichuan Province who said creature resembled a bear that had been
changed from a human, just as in a Sichuan local legend.
However, the mystery is solved. Kong Huazhen of the
Daying Forestry Department, Sichuan recently announced that the mystery
creature is an albino civet cat with a skin disease and "we have let it
go."

Several witnesses claim seeing the creature – Elements of the public safety forces responded to reports – Creature’s presence is associated
with animal deaths.
[Prof. Ana Luisa Cid notes: “I learned of this incident through Ing. Ricardo García of Monclova. It should be noted that the reports are from
three separate dates: April 4, 5 and 9. On the 4th, it was seen by some
children in the Chinameca district; on the 5th, it was seen at the
Alamo district, where witnesses point out that it submerged into the
Monclova River; on the 9th it was reported that a shepherd saw it
several times at a ranch and that it has killed 10 goats in six months.
Zocalo Saltillo Monster Causes Alarm in Chinameca By Sergio A. Rodriguez Diario Zocalo, April 5, 2010
MONCLOVA, Coahuila – Residents of Colonia Chinameca were gripped by a psychosis on Saturday night after two children reported seeing an
alleged monster of humanoid characteristics and four legs on Calle
Londres in that busy sector.
The children described the entity as a little man with smooth, grey skin and four legs or lower extremities. It was seen in an empty lot of
the street in question in the Chinameca district.
Omar Andres Armendariz and Jose Rolando Gallegos, both 13 and local residents, were terrified and spread the word of the “being” they had
just seen among other locals.
The mother of one of the youngsters, seeing the state of nerves that her child was in, called the police, requesting that whoever caused her
son to fall into such a state of terror be apprehended.
After receiving the report, law enforcement agents reported to the scene and searched everywhere for the strange little man, but could not
establish it whereabouts. However, this is not the first time that
strange things have been reported in this district, according to
residents.
“Monster” Drives Bathers Out of the Moncloa River By Alejandro Hernández Diario Zocalo, April 6, 2010
MONCLOVA, Coahuila – Residents of Colonia Alamo had quite a fright yesterday upon seeing a large, grey-colored, four-legged creature
submerge into the waters of the Monclova River at the location known as
“El Charco Azul” (the blue pond)
Public Safety Personnel reported immediately to the scene to deal with the case, which represents the second sighting of an unknown being
with matching characteristics.
Officers of the Policia Preventiva ordered bathers out of the water at the location where the “grey monster” was seen entering the river.
According to reports provided by the police department, residents contacted the desk officer to report the strange animal sighting at 2:00
p.m.
It should be noted that on Saturday night, two minors were terrified by the sight of a strange being in Colonia Chinameca. They described it
as having the same characteristics.
In yesterday’s report, residents of Colonia Alamo stated that what appeared to be a “strange animal” broke into a run and entered “El
Charco Azul”, submerging itself without coming out again.
Several elements of the Municipal Police reached the site quickly and conversed with some locals, who concealed their personal information.
Four young men from Colonia del Río – Jesús, Rolando, Emmanuel and Edgar – were terror-stricken by the “little man” while fishing for king
prawns at the location.
Psychosis Strikes Monclova – “Monster” Now Seen at Ejido By Zocalo, April 9, 2010
MONCLOVA, Coahuila – The monster seen at Chinameca and the Monclova River appears to dwell in the city’s southwestern section, over by Ejido
Curva de Juan Sánchez, where it has slain 10 goats over the past six
months and has been seen on at least five occasions, even in broad
daylight.
Jaime Cruz, a 21-year-old shepherd from Irapuato, Guanajuato, says that he has seen the strange beast several times between Ejido Curva de
Juan Sánchez and the Colinas de Santiago district. The beast is no
ordinary animal and is also capable of extremely high leaps.
A team of evangelical Christian explorers claim they've found the remains of Noah's ark beneath snow and volcanic debris on Turkey's Mount
Ararat (map).
But some archaeologists and historians are taking the latest claim that Noah's ark has been found about as seriously as they have past ones—which is to say not very.
"I don't know of any expedition that ever went looking for the ark and didn't find it," said Paul Zimansky, an archaeologist specializing in the Middle East at Stony
Brook University in New York State.
Turkish and Chinese explorers from a group called Noah's Ark Ministries International made the latest discovery claim Monday in Hong Kong, where the group is based.
"It's not 100 percent that it is Noah's ark, but we think it is 99.9 percent that this is it," Yeung Wing-cheung, a filmmaker accompanying the explorers, told The Daily Mail.

Noah's Ark Location in Turkey a Secret
The team claims to have found in 2007 and 2008 seven large wooden compartments buried at 13,000 feet (4,000 meters) above sea level, near the peak of Mount Ararat. They returned to the site with a film crew in October 2009.
Many Christians believe the mountain in Turkey is the final resting place of Noah's ark, which the Bible says protected Noah, his family, and pairs of every animal species on Earth during a divine deluge that wiped out most of humanity.
"The structure is partitioned into different spaces," said Noah's Ark Ministries International team member Man-fai Yuen in a statement. "We believe that the wooden structure we entered is the same structure recorded in historical accounts. ... "
The team says radiocarbon-dated wood taken from the discovery site—whose location they're keeping secret for now—shows the purported ark is about 4,800 years old, which coincides roughly with the time of Noah's flood implied by the Bible.
(Related: "'Noah's Flood' May Have Triggered European Farming.")
"Noah's Ark" Wood "Way, Way, Way Too Young"
Skepticism of the new Noah's ark claim extends to at least one scholar who interprets the Bible literally.
Biologist Todd Wood is director of the Center for Origins Research at Bryan College in Tennessee, which pursues biology in a creationist framework.
As a creationist, Wood believes God created Earth and its various life-forms out of nothing roughly 6,000 years ago.
"If you accept a young chronology for the Earth ... then radiocarbon dating has to be reinterpreted," because the method often yields dates much older than 6,000 years, Wood said.
Radiocarbon dating estimates the ages of organic objects by measuring the radioisotope carbon 14, which is known to decay at a set rate over time. The method is generally thought to reach its limit with objects about 60,000 years old. Earth is generally thought to be about four and a half billion years old.
Across the board, radiocarbon dates need to be recalibrated, Wood believes, to reflect shorter time frames.
Given this perceived overestimation in radiocarbon daiting, the wood the Noah's Ark Ministries International team found should have a "traditional" radiocarbon date of several tens of thousands of years if the wood is truly 4,800 years old, Wood said.
"I'm really, really skeptical that this could possibly be Noah's Ark," he added. The wood date is "way, way, way too young."
Wood thinks Noah's ark will never be found, because "it would have been prime timber after the flood," he said.
"If you just got off the ark, and there's no trees, what are you going to build your house out of? You've got a huge boat made of wood, so let's use that," he said. "So I think it got torn apart and scavenged for building material basically."
(Related: National Geographic's search for Noah's flood.)
"Noah's Ark" Found in Right Country, on Wrong Mountain?
Another reason scholars are skeptical of the latest Noah's ark discovery claim is that Genesis—the forst book of the Bible—never specifies which peak the vessel supposedly landed on in Turkey.
"The whole notion is odd, because the Bible tells you the ark landed somewhere in Urartu,"—an ancient kingdom in eastern Turkey—"but it's only later that people identified Mount Ararat with Urartu," said Jack Sasson, a professor of Jewish and biblical studies at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.
Stony Brook's Zimansky agreed. "Nobody associated that mountain with the ark" until the tenth century B.C., he said, adding that there's no geologic evidence for a mass flood in Turkey around 4,000 years ago. (See "'Noah's Flood' Not Rooted in Reality, After All?")
The Noah's Ark Ministries International explorers are "playing in a very different ballpark than the rest of us," Zimansky said. "They're playing without any concern for" the archaeological, historical, and geological records.
Better Explanations for "Noah's Ark" Structure?
Even if the Noah's Ark Ministries International team did find a wooden structure or even a boat on Mount Ararat, there are other explanations for what the structure might be.
For example, it could be a shrine constructed by early Christians to commemorate the site where they believed Noah's Ark should be, Zimansky said.
Even in that speculative case, it wouldn't be 4,000 years old. "The Bible hadn't even been written yet," he said.
Bible scholar Sasson said he thinks biblical writers intended the story of Noah's ark to be allegorical, not a true recounting of historical events. By presenting a scenario in which humanity is punished for its wickedness, "they were trying to draw us to the notion of a God who asks us to be acceptable," Sasson said.
On its Web site, Noah's Ark Ministries International says the Turkish government plans to apply to the United Nations to put the Noah's ark discovery site on the UNESCO World Heritage list, a designation given to places of special cultural or physical significance.
But the agency hasn't received any official requests from Turkey for "the inscription of 'Noah's ark'" into the list, UNESCO spokesperson Roni Amelan said in an email.
Such a move would take time, Amelan added. "This cannot be done overnight."
This is the most amazing abduction case I have ever heard with the most

NACOGDOCHES, TX (KTRE) - A Nacogdoches man gazed into Sunday night's sky, and was transfixed by mysterious bright shapes. He says he saw a UFO. "It was just sitting up there, just bouncing up and down, bouncing
up and down, moving back and fourth," said Albert Davis.
He was driving home from work with his family when bright, flickering lights caught his eye. "We knew it wasn't from here on Earth because...we've seen jets flying around and I don't think [it
was] jets," said Davis. "We knew jets couldn't make the moves it was
making."
Davis says the UFO hovered above his apartment for two hours. Then, he spotted more. "And, one was over there and one was in the back out there - pretty good distance out in the back," he said. "It was just
following us."
Davis believes what he saw was a flying saucer. He says he has never seen anything like it light up the night sky before. "[It] changed colors, threw something out of it, made a circle, it just made a circle
and it shot back down toward the east way [and] disappeared," said
Davis.
Astronomer Norman Markworth studies the East Texas sky. He says there is a logical explanation for this sighting. "There's a well-known psychological phenomena that if you look at something bright against a
blank background it might appear to move on you," explained Markworth.
"So, I feel certain that what we have here is a sighting of Venus."
Despite what anyone thinks, Davis says he knows exactly what he saw and will never forget. "Now, I'll probably look into space every night wondering if it's going to return or what's going to happen next," he
said.
Davis says he is a little nervous after his UFO sighting and has had trouble sleeping.

A Warwick, RI, civil engineer reported seeing a disc-shaped UFO on April 24, 2010, at 3 p.m. that was observed from a local parking lot, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
The witness describes the object as "a intensely bright, white, circular object in a northeasterly direction and approximately 70 degrees above the horizon."
"I thought it funny that it just hung in that position for many minutes," the witness stated, "but it was lazily moving extremely slowly generally in a figure-eight pattern, which I verified by lining the object up with the edge of my car door jamb. As far as I could tell, the object did not vary in brightness, color or shape during my total observation. It was brighter than a daytime observation of the planet Venus and it definitely exhibited a diameter (disclike). I did have the distinct impression that it was spherical but without the aide of optics I was unsure."
Warwick is a city in Kent County, Rhode Island, the second largest city in the state, population 85,808. The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If New England MUFON State Director Steve Firmani investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. RI, April 24, 2010 - Bright White Circular Disc Observation in Warwick, RI on 4/24/10. MUFON Case # 22957.
My observations were made from the parking lot in front of TJ Maxx store in the Target Shopping Center on the west side of Bald Hill Road (Rte 2), in Warwick, RI on April 24, 2010 at 3 pm. Sky condition was 35% scattered thin cirrus clouds (wide bands similar in shape to jet contrails) in a transparent blue sky. Temperature was about 70 deg F.
I was sitting in my car looking in an easterly direction with sunroof open, due to the heating from the bright sun. I was waiting for my wife while she was shopping at the Maxx.
To pass the time while eating my apple snack I started to watch jet planes high overhead (approx 15,000) as they were making a beeline to and from Boston's Logan Airport. I watched several of the northbound jets and at one time I noticed what I first thought was a white jet at a higher altitude traveling southeasterly (diagonally) across the apparent path of a Boston bound jet.
I then noticed 3-4 of these small white winged objects and concluded they must be seagulls soaring high above Warwick, which is not uncommon for this city of 100,000 +/- on Narragansett Bay.
Anyway, I watched another jet continuing along the same "to Boston" trajectory and then noticed a intensely bright, white, circular object in a northeasterly direction and approximately 70 degrees above the horizon. I thought it funny that it just hung in that position for many minutes, but it was lazily moving extremely slowly generally in a figure-eight pattern, which I verified by lining the object up with the edge of my car door jamb. As far as I could tell, the object did not vary in brightness, color or shape during my total observation. It was brighter than a daytime observation of the planet Venus and it definitely exhibited a diameter (disclike). I did have the distinct impression that it was spherical but without the aide of optics I was unsure.
After several minutes of watching the object at the initial altitude, it started to drift slowly in a nearly straight path to the northeast --- my tall vertical light stanchion was my reference to determine this, for sure. I continued watching until the object met a cirrus cloud and then I lost it at about 40 degrees above the horizon. At last sight, the diameter of the object did appear to shrink a little bit, but the brightness did not. My sighting lasted apporximately 25 minutes and, unfortunately, ended about 10 minutes before my wife returned from shopping...I was hoping I could show this to her to get her impressions.
After I spotted the object I wondered what it could be. Venus? No, wrong position. Another plane with lights coming toward me? No, too slow and not a pinpooint light source and planes don't wobble in an almost stationary position. A helicopter? No, uniformly lit and probably too high. A weather balloon? Maybe, but strange behavior for a weather balloon. I also initially thought it might be a daylight supernova until I examined it more intently and noticed the slight wobbling motion.
I did not think of UFO at first but I came to that conclusion as my observation went on. It brought back a memory of the same kind of sighting I had when I was about 13 years old when one summer day I was playing in a park with the neighborhood kids, also in Warwick, RI. I have had several other sightings over the years but never reported them to anyone. My last sighting was a few years ago when I was in Florida on vacation.
I have been an amateur astronomer since a teenager and own a couple of telescopes. I am also a ham radio operator. I am a professional engineer (civil) licensed to practice in several states.
Newly published documents reveal that a Scottish police official in the 1930s believed 'beyond doubt' that the Loch Ness monster existed. Expert Loren Coleman says it reveals the government's longstanding policy to protect the mythic beast.
The revelation that a former Scottish police chief believed in the Loch Ness monster and was concerned for its survival underscores how Scottish authorities have sought to protect the iconic beast, says Loren Coleman, a leading experts on mythic animals.
“The Scottish government has long been interested in protecting Nessie,” says Loren Coleman, who is co-author of The Field Guide to Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents, and Other Mystery Denizens of the Deep. “This just reinforces this whole notion (that) the officials in Scotland take this creature very seriously.”
Newly publicized documents reveal that a former Scottish police chief believed that the existence of the Loch Ness monster was “beyond doubt” but its protection could not be ensured.
William Fraser, chief constable of Inverness-shire Constabulary in the 1930s, wrote a letter expressing fears that a London man might kill the beast with a large harpoon gun. "That there is some strange creature in Loch Ness seems now beyond doubt, but that the police have any power to protect it is very doubtful," Mr. Fraser wrote.
To be sure, most biologists believe Nessie to be a myth, and nothing more, pointing out that large animals typically leave large remains when they die. No "monster" carcass has ever been found.
But as recently as 1999, Scottish authorities took steps to ensure the safety of their tourist-attracting monster, Mr. Coleman told the Monitor in a telephone interview from Portland, Maine, where he runs the International Cryptozoology Museum.
In 1999, Coleman was set to go on a Nessie-search expedition in a homemade submarine with Dan Scott Taylor. Thirty years earlier, while diving deep in Loch Ness in a one-man submarine, Mr. Taylor had said he undoubtedly bumped into the monster. Now, he wanted to bring with him both a secondary observer – Coleman – and a harpoon so he could take a DNA sample of the beast.
When Scottish authorities caught wind of Taylor’s plan, they revoked his exploration permits and the submarine trip never materialized. Taylor died in 2005.
“There’s always been the sense that quietly…they were taking the reports more validly. There was a serious acknowledgment that the Loch Ness monster exists,” says Coleman.
While the submarine trip never happened, Coleman still presided over a two-week surface expedition in 1999. He interviewed 38 people who claimed to have seen the monster then or in the past, and of those sightings Coleman says eight appeared valid.
Sightings often describe the monster’s iconic neck sprouting from the lake, but Coleman says experts agree that those sightings are only of an otter’s tail or a water bird’s neck. In his opinion, the Loch Ness monster is something like a whale or a walrus.
But sightings have dropped of late. There was only one "credible" reported sighting of the creature in 2009, causing enthusiasts to fear the monster may be dead, reported The Telegraph.
American officials, too, have had their odd beliefs and close encounters with the third kind. The Vermont legislature voted in 1982 to protect the legendary beast “Champ” of Lake Champlain. And current Representative Dennis Kucinich and former presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan have all seen UFOs.
Coleman says that new animal discoveries show that humans still have a lot to learn about the world. Just three weeks ago, scientists reported that they had discovered a new species of giant lizard in the Philippines. Coleman says that the finding underscored how strange animals – from Big Foot to Yeti to the Loch Ness monster – may still be lurking beneath our noses.
“There are animals out there that will surprise us in the future,” he says.
Paola Harris, an investigative journalist who specializes in ufology, spoke about her interview with Paul Hellyer, the former Canadian defense minister who has gone public with his UFO views. He told her he thought Col. Corso's book, The Day After Roswell, seemed credible to him and that he recognized many of the names in it. Hellyer expressed concerns over militarizing space in order to attack ETs, and suggested instead, that we learn from these beings and enter into an "intergalactic conversation" with them. Harris also shared a report on Monsignor Corrado Balducci, who told conference goers in Rome that Mexico is "blessed" with UFO sightings.

There is an interesting report out of Westlock, Alberta, from April 18, 2010. A man left a message on a UFO website about a large dark, triangular object that he saw moving slowly over his home. The object emitted a dull reddish glow and had three circular things on its underside. He thought it was only about 500 feet above his home at one point.
The report was on UFOs Northwest, an American site that is very good in its scope and approach, classifying cases by location and doing some preliminary evaluation. In this case, the witness left a message on the webmaster's voicemail, and the audio file is linked on the site as well. The eyewitness testimony gives an interesting perspective of what had been seen.

UFOs and other unexplained phenomena in space should be studied in university courses just like English and math. That’s the position of an American anthropology professor who is putting together the curriculum for a credit course to cover the subject. “My interest in UFOs stems from . . . my interest in anthropology and in different world views and how they affect people’s perceptions and behaviours,” said Prof. Philip Haseley of the Niagara County College, a state university in New York. He argues that there is a large body of evidence around UFO sightings and other space news and that students and scientists should have the opportunity to study it, research it and document findings. “There is an enormous amount of evidence to investigate,” said Haseley, who is also section director of the Western New York Mutual UFO Network. “It needs to have exposure to a university setting to students and to faculty who see it being taught as a legitimate subject. “To me, it is something that is a no-brainer. It ought to have been done a long time ago and the fact that it hasn’t been done strikes me as extraordinarily strange.” There are classes at other universities in the U.S. already. “It is something I would like to see a lot more of,” said Haseley. University of B.C. astronomy and astrophysics Prof. Douglas Scott said UFOs are covered in lectures but the test for students is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. “There are lots of things people see in the sky, and people who study them in detail,” said Scott, adding that his department regularly gets calls from people reporting “weird things” in the sky. “There is no evidence that there are aliens coming to visit us. But of course we should study these things — a good scientist should be open minded. “Frankly, all astronomers would kill to find out that there are really aliens coming to Earth. It would be fantastic . . . There is no evidence that we have been visited by aliens even though most astronomers probably believe they are out there.” Chris Rutkowski, research co-ordinator for Ufology Research based in Winnipeg, supports the study of UFOs as a legitimate university subject. “I think what [Haseley] is saying is sound in the sense that it should be discussed more openly in an academic and scholarly setting,” said Rutkowski, author of The Canadian UFO Report: The Best cases Revealed. “I think it is a matter of being brave enough to think about UFOs rationally in an academic setting.”
A TERRITORY family has told how they held their breath when a UFO hovered over their home.
It was around 8pm on Friday when Susan Clarke, of Howard Springs, heard her partner yell out to her "to come out quick".
"Myself and the lad were sober, and we saw a huge spherical object that was moving horizontally across the night sky very slowly," Ms Clarke told the Sunday Territorian.
"It was amazing and unnerving at the same time.
"It was glowing red, orange and gold - none of us had ever seen anything like it before."
Ms Clarke said she grabbed her camera, but didn't manage to capture the mysterious flying object in a photo.
"I was shaking just looking at it, it was very eerie and made my knees weak."
The Howard Springs resident said she watched the UFO for about three or four minutes, together with her partner and his 16-year-old son, before the object took off into the night.
"It veered off at a right angle, then in another direction, then just shot off at a great speed (and) disappeared.
"We rang friends and asked if they had seen anything and we were totally shaken up by the experience."
The UFO is far from being the first to be seen in the Territory.
Only three weeks ago, UFOs had been spotted stalking the site of the proposed NT nuclear waste dump at Muckaty Station.
In March, a Queensland businessman had an eerie encounter with "bright lights zipping around the trees" when he visited the NT's alien hot spot Wycliffe Well.
In June 2008 the community of Marlinja came to a standstill when UFOs descended on the town.
Last year in December, worldwide media outlets ran a story that enthralled UFO enthusiasts and others curious about the possibility of alien vistation to our planet and the existence of extraterrestrial life.
A huge pyramid UFO had been seen by many and filmed by at least one witness as it hovered above The Kremlin in Moscow. The video became a hit on YouTube and other sites. Hundreds of witnesses also reported seeing the UFO, however shortly after the film was released a campaign to discredit the sighting appeared to have swung into action.
Witnesses were visited by what seemed to be plain clothes police officers and asked to remain silent over the event. Any further footage was confiscated. Stories began circulating about buildings in the footage that no longer existed despite experts confirming this was not the case.
Now a brave witness has had the courage to post a second piece of footage (Video below) of the event: Filmed from an apartment in Moscows suburbs.
Sergei Ahmedayov attests that this footage was taken by him from his bedroom window as the craft hovered for hours on the very same day the Kremlin UFO was filmed. He also attests that all of his family saw the event too.
'I am sure this is an ET sapceship and I am not scared to show it' he defiantly commented.
It is now known that these pyramid shaped UFOs are the long haul spacecraft used by a civilization originating from Orion Constellation: These humanoid aliens have been interacting with humanity for thousands of years and arrived in this galaxy from Andromeda millions of years ago.
AN Australian UFO mystery that
captured the world’s imagination was solved today.
Paul Raduka captured footage of strange lights darting above Geelong, west of Melbourne, on Monday night. The Geelong Advertiser posted the video online, attracting tens of thousands of hits across
the globe.
But a reader, who did not wish to be named, called the Advertiser yesterday with an explanation.
"A lot of people thought they were UFOs,” the reader said. “When I was told about them at work on Tuesday I just laughed because I knew what they were." The woman said the UFOs
were actually remote control airplanes with LED lights.
"There were just a few guys having a bit of fun down near Balyang Sanctuary on Monday night."
The online video attracted more than 27,000 views in 24 hours and was featured on YouTube's main page as the most popular news and politics video.
It’s kind of like that old movie with Ray Milland and Rosie Grier, The Thing With Two Heads. Only in this case, rather than some kind of weird science experiment in life-saving and head grafting, you’ve got a weird animal mutation that has resulted in a two-headed bobtail skink, or Shingleback. The
two-heade little critter was found by by workers in a reptile park in
Coogee, New South Wales, and has been sent to Henley Brook animal park
in Perth. Two-headed animals generally don’t live very long, and this
lizard is expected to eventually fight itself to death.
This isn’t a case where a creature has one head that doesn’t really work. This skink has two heads and two sets of forearms, all of which work. However, weirdly, the larger of the two heads doesn’t like the
smaller of the two heads, so the creature is constantly trying to fight
itself! How strange is that?!

I went into the Bush to do some research around 5.00pm 3rd of April 2010, I didn't expect it to go dark so quickly. I was heading out when all hell broke loose. At least two creatures were around me they made themselves very clear I wasn't welcomed.........No.1 Rule - do not do anything like this by yourself....
This is a follow up video to what happened last night 9-4-2010 I made this at 9pm today.....Please, Please, I cant stress enough don't go out on your own. This encounter has woken me up big time to what could have happened to myself or anyone for that matter, out researching on their own....I wont do it again by myself, I just had to share what happened with you guys and put this behind me and continue on researching this beautiful creature we call The Yowie......Cheers...Tony from Australia
Tony has been researching the Yowie for over 25 years. He has a web site dedicated to his research. http://www.yowiehunters.com/
Yesterday I posed the question whether there is a connection between Human Abduction by 'UFO's' and beings from those craft, and if so, what is the connection. This question takes into account that there is such a thing as alien abduction of humans, and animal mutilations.
Skeptics claim that alien abductions is simply sleep paralysis, and animal mutilations are simply predators consuming certain parts of a dead animal. Check out THIS interesting post on cattle mutilations This blog is called Authentic UFO's because I try to be skeptical and will only post (I hope) what I consider to be authentic, and if I think there may be another explanation, I try to state those views, even if I disagree personally, or quote the person who states the view.
My personal belief is that there are animal and even human mutilations; and that alien abduction, especially at night while a person is awake and in isolated places (such as the Benny and Barney Hill story, Travis Walton - see pic, and others) are likely to be real experiences and not hallucinations. This based on what is stated in the Jewish Talmud written about 2000 years ago. In an isolated place, these aliens (whoever they may be) may even attack and abduct more than one person or even a group. They are unlikely to attack where there is light and people in groups are usually safe unless 'in their territory' i.e. in isolated places.
People claim to be abducted from their homes and even in big cities such as New York. It may be possible that this is sleep paralysis, but maybe its really happening. After all, the abduction experience has common threads running through the story - so if its a dream or even sleep paralysis, how could everyone have the same identical scenario. There are many other reasons why it may well be a real experience. Take for example implants that have been found by Dr. Lier and others and surgically removed. These may be tracking devices or serve some other purpose such as reporting on changes in the body. Now it may not necessarily be that the person is taken from their location into a space ship or UFO - if they are inter-dimensional beings, perhaps they can do this while the person is in their bed and they are experiencing this other dimension. Or perhaps it does happen that they are removed from their bedrooms and possibly other people in the apartment or house are dealt with by making them unable to move, as some have reported. Some report finding themselves in bed with signs that they have been outside, such as feet covered in mud or leaves in the bed. The most common sign is lost time, where a person suddenly finds themselves in another place, almost as if they moved instantaneously, but its two or more hours later and they have no recollection of what has happened. In addition, many people tell these stories under hypnosis (which may or may not be reliable, but certainly seems to be fairly reliable). Others have passed lie detector tests, and some have failed, such as Jeff Peckman, who I personally feel is a hoaxer, but others are entitled to disagree. Most UFO abductee's experience high strangeness. There have been reports of neighbors seeing strange lights inside an abductee's home on a night they were supposedly abducted. Many abductee's suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which indicates that something serious and frightening happened. Most people talk of the feeling of fear which seems to be induced by the experience. Scientists were able to create similar feelings by using magnetic forces on the brain. Many people become abductee's after seeing a UFO, which could mean they are tagged somehow for later use. In the USA one scientist found that animals were coated with an ultraviolet substance after lights were seem in the sky and some of those coated were later found mutilated.
I'm not convinced these 'Aliens' come from other planets or star systems, but they may. Why is it impossible for them to have lived here on earth since the beginning of time. Perhaps they are simply a highly intelligent species that has always lived here on earth and have the ability to travel into space as we do.
Perhaps they are even a previous generation that explored space and came back in a deformed state. The Jewish Kabballah states that the tower of Babel was really a method to explore space to try to wage war with G-d. Jewish commentators from before the modern age comment that it was a tower with fire underneath (a rocket?) It states that they went to the moon but came back as monkeys. Maybe they mastered time travel but it had disastrous effects! The Kabballah also mentions that many of the Jewish sages of olden times could create a 'flying tower' - some people have claimed to see UFO's that look like a building flying through the air. Another explanation is that the people of the Tower of Babel (the Sumerian's with Nimrod as their leader) had the ability to capture demons (the grey's and harmful beings?) and angels (benevolent beings) and they used their knowledge to build supernatural craft that could fly up to the ends of the heavens. Their goal was to enable themselves to free themselves from the Supreme Being - an obviously stupid proposition, but they tried anyway. In fact some commentators go as far as to say that human spirit is so great that they actually may have had a chance of success (since G-d generally hides himself from humanity and does not perform miracles except in exceptional circumstances) and therefore G-d confused their language so that they would not achieve this goal. Without human unity people will fight and thats what we see through all generations since that time - war after war. Many abductee's mention that they have seen humans during abductions. Since it is possible to use angels and demons for ones own use if they are 'captured' - perhaps some secret agency is using them to do things they could not, such as abducting people and using animals for genetic experiments. That would be more frightening in a way, that simple alien abduction.
Going back to aliens, there do seem to be two kinds, those that seem to have what we would call evil intentions and those who are benevolent and helpful. It seems that these two forces may be fighting each other (perhaps what religions call the war of the forces of bad against good). The Jewish texts also states that there may be beings that come from other planets - this may be in addition to angels and demons. In fact one such civilization is punished according some texts because they never came to aid Israel against Sennacherib, king of Assyria. It's also possible they are beings from other dimensions. The Kabballah says there are 8 different dimensions.
They may also be time travelers, or simply there may be places in the world where time is distorted and people are moved momentarily to a different time. Such reports have been heard of people seeing or even being in a past time and reporting on events that happened, and possibly even bring proof that they saw objects in a certain location - which only later was discovered to be true. See the Moberly-Joudain incident HERE and in WIKIPEDIA
Whatever the case - if these UFO's and abductions are real - what is the purpose and why the mutilation of animals and why are people returned after having various procedures, such as having semen removed or pregnancy implants into woman? It could be that these beings cannot reproduce without human aid - could it be that they need to construct their own children, Frankenstein way - by using parts from animals and then using human sperm and wombs for producing their children?!
Another possibility is that they are supernatural spiritual type beings that don't have the one thing that only humans have - and that is free-will to do good or bad. Jewish texts state that the spiritual beings don't have free will. That may explain the Bible when it states that the angels desired woman and married them - creating giants. Why did they desire them, surely angelic woman must be more beautiful than human woman - perhaps they desired to have free-will like humans and that was their desire. Perhaps this latest abduction spree is a repetition of that desire in olden times. Many abductee's feel that their abductors have no feelings - that would be because they have no free will. They may not understand how abduction could be painful to humans. Could it be that in the cases of human mutilations, if they exist, it is when the human subject became too violent for the captors forcing them to defend themselves with fatal consequences?! Once the subject is killed the mutilation takes place as they have no respect for the human body. Could it be that some of these beings are so evil that they would kill people and even eat them? According to Jewish texts there are some very evil entities reserved for punishing exceedingly evil people. I once heard or saw and article that stated that the US government is keeping this a secret because human remains have been found in some saucer crashes. That would certainly be enough to scare the population of the US, although by in large, most abductee's seem to be returned.
Often people abducted claim that they were told by the aliens that 'they cannot interfere' to protect the earth - it seems to be a recurring theme that they tell humans about how they are destroying the world. It seems they cannot interfere directly. The secrecy and the illusive nature of these craft would suggest that they cannot interfere or be seen, although it seems that they have difficulty in meeting these restrictions, especially since the advent of the video camera. The fact that they do interfere and abduct people and take animals seems to be ironic if they 'are not allowed to interfere'!
In case this post made you feel uneasy - here is a clip to cheer you up (if you're not a farmer that has lost cows to this phenomenon):-
HOPKINS COUNTY, KY – The majority of Western Kentucky anglers would automatically assume that a snakehead would obviously be the forefront of a snake. However, what if we told you that a snakehead was a very dangerous fish in regards to our local fishing environment? Most would doubt that this creature existed in our region due to a lack of catching them, but nevertheless, Northern Snakeheads do exist, and they are in Western Kentucky, as shown in the picture of local Muhlenberg County angler, Scott Graham holding a Snakehead caught in mid-April of this year.
Snakeheads are a very unusual breed of fish, native to Africa and Asia, and totally not native to the United States. Regardless, they have been a growing issue since early 2002, much to the alarm of local wildlife officials.
The problem began in Virginia when a man fishing in a pond reeled in a very unusual fish. He reported the catch to local wildlife biologists. Once the fish was identified, the trouble started. It is popular opinion that someone, at some point, had brought Snakeheads to the United States as a pet, and eventually released them into this particular pond. However, since that first discovery, Snakeheads are slowly spreading throughout the United States. There have been a few caught in Western Kentucky, mainly in the Ohio and Green Rivers and tributaries therein. The instances are growing in several other states as well.
No doubt, you are wondering what the big deal is. The problem is that, according to wildlife agencies, the snakehead has extreme potential to disturb ecosystems. Unfortunately, Snakeheads are at the top of their particular food chain. They eat virtually any kind of life form, but nothing eats them outside of their original environment overseas. The issue here is that, as the snakehead population grows, the population of other fish will lessen.
Knowing that these are such a dangerous fish to the environment, it will be a good idea to know your enemy. The Snakehead is a very original creature, in that it can breath both in and out of the water. Snakeheads can survive out of the water for 4 days. Another very odd aspect of the Snakehead is its’ ability to walk on land. Through a wriggling movement of the lower body and using the front fins, this fish can travel from one body of water to another, making the threat of spreading even worse. Another interesting point is that Snakeheads do have viciously sharp teeth, but they swallow their prey whole.
If you think you have caught a snakehead, local wildlife officials urge you to report it to them. This species is definitely a threat to the future of fishing throughout the United States.
KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) – A rare Borneo rhino, thought to be pregnant, has been caught on camera in Malaysia, and wildlife experts said Wednesday a new calf would be a lifeline for the near-extinct species.
Just 30 rhinos remain in the wild in Borneo island, which is shared by Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei, and researchers are only able to monitor the population through images captured on remote camera traps.
Images of the rhino, "believed to be a pregnant female, estimated to be below 20 years" were captured by a camera trap in February, the Malaysian arm of World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) - said in a statement.
"There are so few Sumatran rhinos left in the world that each calf represents a lifeline for the species," international rhino expert Terry Roth said.
The Borneo sub-species is the rarest of all rhinos, distinguished from other Sumatran rhinos by its relatively small size, small teeth and distinctively shaped head.
The Sumatran rhinoceros is one of the world's most endangered species, with few left on Indonesia's Sumatra island, the north of Borneo island and peninsular Malaysia.
Laurentius Ambu, wildlife director for Malaysia's Sabah state, where the female rhino was spotted, said two rhino calves had also been seen in a similar area and urged the government to do more to enforce laws against poaching.
"Habitat protection and enforcement have been recognised as the main strategies in ensuring the survival of the rhino population in forest reserves," he said.
The WWF said the rhino's future on Borneo island would depend on preserving sufficient forest reserves for the animal.
Raymond Alfred, head of the WWF's Borneo Species programme said data from an ongoing rhino monitoring survey programme showed the animal's home range was affected by the expansion of palm oil plantations.
Malaysia is the world's second-largest exporter of palm oil after Indonesia, and the two countries account for 85 percent of global production.
London, April 18 (ANI): Engineers have found that a manufacturing defect, not UFO
, caused the turbine blade failure at a Scottish wind farm last month.
Manufacturers Siemens, the German engineering company, discovered that the giant turbine blade snapped off because of freak problems with the glue used to coat it - scotching theories it may have been hit by lightning or, as some even suggested, an unidentified flying object.
The catastrophic failure of the 150ft-long, 14-tonne blade at the Whitelees site near Eaglesham sparked global concerns about the safety of wind farm equipment
.
However, a spokesman for Siemens said that the blade broke off due to what it described as a one-off manufacturing fault in its outer coating.
"We will carry out further investigations but we think there was a manufacturing defect in the laminate that covers the blade, a weak spot which caused it to break and fall off," the Scotsman quoted spokesman Oliver Loenker as saying. (ANI)
More than 100 grey-haired cruise-shippers heed the ranger's warning and scurry for safety as the Komodo Dragon charges toward them - and me.
I didn't come to Komodo Island with the oldies. I just happened to arrive the same day as the MS Volendam, a cruise ship carrying 1,500 mostly North American retirees.
I have to admit, I'd been hoping for a little more peace and quiet. And so, it seems, had the island's famous giant lizards.
This particular beast - a 30-something, three-metre, 100kg male - had been enjoying a quiet moment in the shade of a hut when an old woman spotted it.
Within minutes, the creature was encircled by a gaggle of geriatric gawkers, their camera shutters aflutter as it yawned, revealing the serrated teeth that carry a bite so septic it can bring down a water buffalo.
The dragon displays its displeasure by rising to its fearsomely clawed feet and trudging to the other side of the hut. But the oldies follow.
Surrounded, the dragon grows increasingly agitated, slapping the ground with its long, powerful tail and scratching at the dirt with its front claw, like a bull preparing to charge a matador.
The ranger swoops in with a big, forked stick and tries to push the beast back the way it came.
But its mind is made up: the only way out is through.
It charges. We scatter.
"Holy shit!" cries one wizened old man as he hobbles from the creature's path.
The lizard finds a gap and pounds past in a whirl of dirt without causing injury.
"Oh! That's enough for my heart for one day," says one woman before starting in the direction of the pier and cruise ship safety.
And with that, the island became that little bit quieter.
As folks in the Midwest today ponder the fireball they saw crossing the night sky, some in the Southeast have their own strange phenomena to contemplate.
More UFO sightings lately have been reported in Alabama, Georgia and Florida, according to the online UFO newsletter Filer’s Files, compiled by George Filer.
Here’s a report from Jacksonville, Ala., just north of Anniston: “I was driving home on Highway 204 at around 6:30 p.m., on March 31, when a bright flash of lightning revealed a metal object in the sky. There were no lights on the silver object. The lightning flash lasted 2 seconds. After it was dark again, I could not see the object, but I slowed down and the lightning flashed again, but this time the object was gone. I am positive about what I saw. It was cigar shaped, but it could have been a classic disk shape, with the middle being thicker than the ends. Because I only saw it briefly, it didn't appear to be moving, just a pretty big cigar hovering about quarter-mile away….”

On March 28 in Roswell, Ga., a witness saw a craft with a single blinking light move across the sky at 9:27 p.m. Knowing regular aircraft lights, “he was convinced that the craft was not a conventional aircraft.” For 30 seconds he watched as it moved "back and forth," dropped rapidly and then vanished, he said.
On April 1 in Fernandina Beach, Fla., a witness reported seeing “large hovering lights covering the ground” in his backyard.
