Mysterious Earth

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?

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???

A little mainstream coverage of UFO’s. Currently there are 2 videos - watch both of them - fairly interesting! What’s really good about Larry King’s coverage is that he assembled a fairly balanced discussion panel - very unusual for “big” media.

So you thought your neighborhood was bad?

Residents of a German village are celebrating victory over an unwelcome invader: thousands of millipedes which have turned their streets, gardens and homes into something from a horror film.

A foot-high wall, which will eventually encircle Obereichstaett in Bavaria, has finally stemmed the nightly flow of the crawling creatures, which have afflicted the village every autumn for hundreds of years.

Back in July, we reported about the finding of an alleged chupacabra near Cuero, Texas. A little uneducated speculation on our part pronounced this creature as simply a mangy coyote.

Turns out our speculation was correct. Well, maybe not the mangy part…but we were dead on about the coyote part.

The San Antonio Express-News reports that the DNA results are in. The DNA testing was financed by San Antonio TV station KENS.

The results? The chupacabra is a coyote!

Biologists at Texas State University announced Thursday that they’ve identified the hairless, doglike beast whose carcass was discovered near Cuero in late July.

The mystery creature gained fame as possibly the mythical “chupacabra.” But thanks to DNA testing, science has gone beyond legend and provided a definitive answer.

It’s a coyote.

“The DNA sequence is a virtually identical match to DNA from the coyote,” Mike Forstner, a Texas State University biologist, said in a news release Thursday night. “This is probably the answer a lot of folks thought might be the outcome. I, myself, really thought it was a domestic dog, but the Cuero chupacabra is a Texas coyote.”

This is a real creature from the depths of the South Atlantic ocean.  If only H. P. Lovecraft were alive today - think of the story he'd concoct about this creature!

Outstanding UFO reference! The Project Blue Book has been put online by the National Archives. Days and day of material here - study and draw your own conclusions. Excellent set of images and documents - definitely an outstanding effort making this material available.

From Alaska to Arizona, from Florida to Labrador, UFO sightings were reported from within North America and even around the world. They are documented in these files. Very few photographs are included in these records. Instead these are text descriptions of encounters or sightings during the years 1947 to 1969. Names of people involved in the sightings are excluded. They are arranged chronologically, then by location.
