Japanese Government Says UFO’s Real

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.

Beast of Bolivia - Canine?

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.

The Beast of Bolivia Track

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.

The Turner Beast

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:
The Turner Beast

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:

Debunking UFO’s

Not So News has a humorous list of the Top 10 Ways to debunk a UFO sighting. And even though this list is a bit tongue in cheek, its pretty spot-on accurate as well. We’ve seen an uprising of UFO videos on YouTube lately - seems everyone is seeing aliens!

Our favorite is #2:

Then, use the weapon of ridicule: “If UFOs are for real, why haven’t they landed in front of the White House yet?”
