Mysterious Earth

Here’s hoping your stocking is full of mysterious goodies!  Merry Christmas from Mysterious Earth!

And since it is the festive season, here’s a little UFO themed Christmas poem for you!

Not wanting to be left behind the Russian KGB in the “UFO” wars, the Japanese government has officially pronounced UFO’s as being real.

So if you are a true believer (Mysterious Earth is officially in the “skeptic” house), you can now tell everyone that UFO’s have government backing.

But Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura later told reporters he believed they were “definitely” real.

It is the sort of question politicians dread but, under Japanese rules, are unable to ignore.

A member of the opposition asked the government what its policy was to deal with UFOs.

He said work should begin urgently to try to confirm whether or not they exist because of what he called “incessant” reports of sightings.

Of course, most skeptics are going to ignore anything coming out of Japan.

Well, allegedly these are authentic declassified KGB photos showing a crashed UFO.

We OFFICIALLY think these are photoshopped.  You, of course, are free to make your own judgement.

See more photos (plus a video) here.  (WARNING - site wants to open a popup!)

Well it’s the festive time of the year so Mysterious Earth though we would provide you with a little crypto-themed humor today.

Surely you’ve all seen the Messin’ With Sasquatch videos? Well, this one is totally off the chain hilarious!

A few days ago, Mysterious Earth reported on the Beast of Bolivia.  As the Beast of Bolivia was encountered near the roots of Mysterious Earth in southeastern North Carolina - well, there’s a lot of interest in this creature.

Cryptomundo has published a photo of tracks purported to have been left by the Beast of Bolivia.

Commentary on Cryptomundo points to a coyote.

Well, our untrained eyes almost immediately thought “dog” when looking at the tracks in the photo.  But a coyote?  Mauling a pit bull?

More likely this creature is more akin to the Turner Beast - a large wild dog or a domestic dog/coyote mix.

Read the entire Cryptomundo article.  There’s some excellent cross analysis of common animal footprints as well.

Bolivia North Carolina, that is..

The roots of Mysterious Earth lie in the fertile farm grounds of southeastern North Carolina, so you can be sure that an alleged mauling by a mystery beast in Bolivia, North Carolina gets our mysterious minds working overtime.

For those note familiar with the area, here’s a map:

Apparently, this beast mauled a pit bull. Now there’s not a lot of creatures native to southeastern North Carolina capable of mauling a full grown pit bull.

The Associated Press reports:

The county’s animal control agency investigated the animal’s tracks, droppings and other clues but couldn’t determine what attacked the dogs. Locals call the unknown animal the Beast of Bolivia.

Locals are calling this thing the “Beast of Bolivia”. Three inch paw tracks were reported.

Any theories?

Read the full Associated Press report.

The History Channel’s Monster Quest show on Wednesday, December 5th, dealth with the so called “Turner Beast” - mutant canines and all that jazz.

Frankly, we don’t really understand what all the uproar is about - this thing got an entire hour of TV?

Look at this picture:

Looks like a half-chow half-something else to our untrained eyes.

Oh wait, DNA analysis on this “beast” confirmed it was a domestic dog! Oh REALLY???

Here’s Turner Maine on a map:
