–A recent episode of MonsterQuest presented that “Violent encounters with strange beasts may be increasing.” A number of cases were presented in support of this contention.
In Yakima, Washington, a Bigfoot-like creature is reported to have kept pace with a car traveling at 35 mph; in addition to the reporter cited, Bigfoot was additionally seen by dozens in this area, including four policemen!
In Minnesota, a creature was hit by a car, and then shot at by two brothers (Talk about having a bad day!). MonsterQuest investigated, seeking DNA from a bullet shot at the creature and lodged in a tree; no DNA was recovered.
In South Carolina, claw marks and puncture holes were found on a van which also had its bumper pulled out; testing suggested that 306 lbs. of force were required to do this to the bumper. A lizard man was felt responsible, not the heavily-tattooed sideshow gentleman, but rather a bipedal creature 7-8 feet tall with big red eyes and three fingers on each hand. Blood samples taken from the vehicle were at first found to be contaminated, later testing as from a domestic dog.
The same episode reported an Indiana hunter sighting a gray, strongly-built ape-man like creature with a massive chest who showed his teeth. Polygraph testing (87%-95% accurate) showed that this observer was “non-deceptive.”
A commentator speculated that more violent interactions with strange unidentified creatures are likely to occur in the years ahead, possibly resulting in a death…

—NASA has unveiled plans to return a man to the moon by 2018; that’s sooo far away! The last lunar landing took place in 1972 (Apollo 17), long before many of you reading were a gleam in your father’s eye.
–Praise God, the sciences have made a comeback in their acceptance by government! I am thrilled that President Obama is encouraging more open scientific discussion and research without political interference. As Obama well expressed it, “Our government has forced what I believe is a false choice between sound science and moral values.” Obama has

–The reported presence of alligators in the sewers of New York City has been a powerful and persistent urban myth, and one with some factual basis in that three Harlem teenagers did find an eight foot rogue ‘gator in the sewer in 1935. Alligators have also been found in the sewers of other cities such as New Orleans. Whether alligators can live and breed in the sewers of NYC has been the subject of disagreement among experts, a topic which MonsterQuest investigated in a recent episode.
–A pink Bottlenose dolphin has been found swimming in an inland lake in Louisiana, USA. The dolphin is actually an albino variant, which is reflected in its reddish eyes. Other than its hue, the dolphin appears normal and healthy.
