Borneo Monster

I spy with my little eye.......a fake.

I think it's just a small wave but it's more convincing than the first one.

Cameron Lake Creature

LOCATION: Vancouver Island, British Columbia

Brigette Horvath knew she saw something strange in Cameron Lake on Vancouver Island two years ago and a team of researchers say she might be right.


Was it a fish, an eel or some kind of serpent-like creature? She says she didn't know. But Horvath grabbed her camera and managed to fire off one shot before the batteries failed.


The researchers who specialize in looking for so-called cryptozoological creatures - in other words, monsters - spent Saturday on the lake probing the depths with a sonar-like fish finder.
At first, they picked up a couple of large contacts at the bottom of the lake, about 45 metres deep, then something more pronounced on a second pass.


"Something just went 'ping' on the alarm on the fish finder and we saw this absolutely massive object in the midst of various fish," said John Kirk, president of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club.


They made four more passes and the contact held stable, making it unlikely that it was a school of fish, which tend to scatter eventually, Kirk said.


"We were quite stunned that there was something that big in the lake and it was in about 60 feet of water, less than 30 yards from shore, it was quite amazing," he said.
Horvath, who lives in Nanaimo, said she was driving along Highway 4 on July 30, 2007, when she saw a strange semi-circle in the lake.


"You could see like a serpent shape," said Horvath, who isn't the only person to report something strange in Cameron Lake.


"It wasn't logs," she said. "It wasn't waves. There were no boats in the area. It was, like, right there. You could actually see a large fish, (an) object, no, not an object, something alive."
Kirk, who admits his trip to Cameron Lake is being sponsored by the local Oceanside Tourism Association, said the team accidentally lost its underwater camera and was unable to explore further. Because the weather will deteriorate in the fall and winter, another search will have to wait until next year, Kirk said. But the team has narrowed the possibilities.


"Maybe it's a sturgeon, maybe it's a giant sterile eel....it could be a massive type of salamander," Kirk said. "Or it could be something that we're completely unaware of at this point."


However, it's unlikely the small lake is the home of a mysterious sea monster, Kirk said.
"I'm not going to the extent to say there's anything exotic down there, there's just something big."

Not sure what it is. Doesn't look like a school of fish to me either. I get kinda sick of the log theory. I understand if it's just like one or two humps that would mean it's probably a couple logs but why would four or five logs be grouped together and floating together. Just seems kind of odd. There could also be the possibility that someone dumped a bunch of logs in the lake in hope that someone would see them and assume that it's a lake creature. But like all sea or lake creatures it's always "maybe it is, maybe it isn't".

Canvey Island Monster

The Canvey Island Monster is the name given to an unusual creature whose carcass washed up on the shores of Canvey Island, England, in November, 1954. A second, more intact, carcass was discovered in August, 1955.

The 1954 specimen was described as being 76cm (2.4ft) long with thick reddish brown skin, bulging eyes and gills. It was also described as having hind legs with five-toed horseshoe-shaped feet with concave arches - which appeared to be suited for bipedal locomotion - but no forelimbs. Its remains were cremated after a cursory inspection by zoologists who said that it posed no danger to the public. The 1955 specimen was described as being similar to the first but much larger, being 120cm (3.9 ft) long and weighing approximately 11.3kg (25lb). It was sufficiently fresh for its eyes, nostrils and teeth to be studied though no official explanation was given at the time as to what it was or what happened to the carcass.

A Fortean journalist carried out an investigation and interviewed numerous locals who believed the Canvey Island Monster to be in actuality an Anglerfish.

I can see where locals would think this looks like and Anglerfish but Anglers don't have a long tail as you can see in the picture. Anglers also don't have a wide mouth like the reported Canvey. I feel like I seen a fish similar to the Canvey but it wasn't an Angler. If you have seen a fish resembling the Canvey post the name of said fish in the comment box. Thanks.

Gargoyle

Gargoyles are the grotesque carvings of faces and bodies of humans and animals. Serving originally as water spouts to direct the water clear of a wall, they can often be found on (Gothic) buildings and churches. In medieval times, the function of Gargoyles changed. They became representations of religious events, created for the illiterate population to "read".


From the fact that Gargoyles are such hideous creatures stems the notion that they were created to avert evil. Placed on the outside of buildings supposedly kept evil out. In later times, most of them became mainly ornamental and served no other purpose than decoration.

Two star-shaped UFOs low to ground at Greensburg, PA

Not sure what to say. It looks pretty odd. You can see the red lights flashing as the two "ships" go down.

Oval UFO and small 'creature' reported by California man

A California man reports seeing an oval-shaped UFO and a one to two-foot-tall creature on his property September 30, 2009, according to witness testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

The oval-shaped craft was seen about 3 p.m. after the man reported seeing a reflection of the object off of a camper shell window.

At 9:50 p.m., the man said he went outside to feed his cat and saw "something flashing colorful lights" just off his porch steps that was no bigger than a baseball.

The man took two steps toward the object and realized it was being held by "something" that stood no more than one or two feet tall.

Both the man and the "creature" were startled and moved away from each other.

The witness claims he heard the object hit the ground, but when he went back to the area to look for it, nothing was there.

The following is the unedited witness statement from MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will update this page

CA. September 30, 2009 - Oval craft scared my cat / Strange blinking lights in my yard later that night. MUFON Case # 19797.

Around 3:00pm I was watching my cat sitting in the yard from inside my house, looking out a sliding glass door. He was looking out into a field and then looked straight up. His ears went flat and his eyes were big and he ducked down and quickly ran to a tree to climb but stopped halfway looking up all around.

At that moment a saw a reflection of a black oval (off of a camper shell window in the driveway) moving away to the left. I have tall trees all around the house but only the sky can be seen in the reflection.

I went and picked up the cat and he was trembling and shaking.

Later that night at exactly 9:50 I went outside to feed the cat, as I stepped out of the door I saw something flashing colorful lights just off the porch steps in the yard no bigger than a baseball. It was very dark and I took 2 steps towards it and noticed that it was being held by "something" about 1 to 2 feet tall.

I was startled and jumped back and at the same time the "thing" was startled too and dropped the flashy thing and ran away super fast. I looked where "it" dropped the flashy light thing cause it was right in front of my pumpkin patch. I heard it hit the ground and later believe it bent a pumpkin leaf stem. Nothing there. I was terrified by then and went inside to collect my self.

Mothman

I have to say the "Mothman" is one of my favorite cryto's since I'm from West Virginia it's kind of exciting to be from a state that has it's very own crypto. Since reading further up on Mothman I get the feeling they are a descendant of "The Observer" from the Fringe series. Okay, I was slightly joking about the last part but when I began watching one of my favorite tv shows it does strike a cord with me since the Mothman supposedly shows up at the sight of big events mainly disasters, such as the Silver Bridge collapsing and there were reports of seeing the Mothman before 9/11. People are also convinced that the Mothman cause these attack but I think that's just paranoia.

I'm slightly ashamed that the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia has chosen to glorify the Mothman by putting up a pretty ridiculous statue making the possibility of a real creature existing actually laughable.

Panama Monster Really a Sloth?

Pale and snub-nosed with long arms and curving claws, an "alien" discovered in September had five teenagers thinking they'd had a close encounter in a Panama creek.

"We took it out of the water and started throwing rocks and sticks at it. We had never seen anything like that.""I was in the river and I felt something grabbing my legs," one of the boys told the local television program Telemetro Reporta a few days after the sighting in the Cerro Azul region of Panama City.

After beating the creature until they thought it was dead, the teenagers threw it back into the water, returning later to snap photos of the body sprawled on a rock. Their pictures of the dead "alien" posted online quickly earned the creature the nickname "Panama ET."

But an autopsy has now revealed that the purported alien was actually a species of sloth that had died and started to decay before the boys' discovery.

"Most people know how a dead animal looks like in a dry environment," said André Sena Maia, a veterinarian at Niterói Zoo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

"The body must have got stuck under the water, and the movement of the currents gave [the boys] the false impression that it was alive."

Alien Looks Due to Watery Grave

Panamanian officials recovered the "alien" four days after the teenagers had thrown it back into the creek.

A biopsy done at the National Environmental Authority of Panama (ANAM) concluded that the creature was a male Bradypus variegates, also known as a three-toed sloth, a common species in Central and South America.

"The sloth had severe signs of trauma on its body, as shown in the necropsy," said Melquiades Ramos, a veterinarian at the ANAM Department of Protected Areas and Wild Lives.

"From the state it is shown in the pictures, we can estimate it had been in the water for about two days before being found."

The body's unearthly appearance is the normal state for a putrefying animal immersed in water, said Maia, of the Niterói Zoo.

That's because water accelerates the loss of fur and gives the dead animal smooth and almost glowing skin, he said.

In addition, bacteria decomposing the body created gases that made the organs swell, adding to the creature's extraordinary appearance.

After identifying the body, ANAM staff buried the sloth.

________________________________________________________________

I can see the characteristics like it's claw that would be compared to a sloth but:

it's facial structure don't seem to match and I haven't been able to find anything about approximately how long or how big this UC(unexplained creature) is because if you look at a full body picture of a sloth and then look at the picture of the UC you'll see that at first glance it looks like the body of a man or looks pretty long compared to a sloth. I'll update if I come across anything regarding the size.

Loch Ness Monster Found on Google Earth?

Millions have traveled to the shores of Scotland's Loch Ness, hoping to catch a rare glimpse of the world's most famous lake monster.

Jason Cooke, 25, a security guard from Nottingham, England, told the U.K.'s Sun that he spotted the monster while scanning the site's satellite imagery.But earlier this week, a British man revealed that he spied the legendary Loch Ness monster while searching Google Earth from his very own home.

"I couldn't believe it. It's just like the descriptions of Nessie," he said.

The first recorded sighting of the monster was nearly 1,500 years ago when a giant beast is said to have leaped out of a lake near Inverness, Scotland, and ate a local farmer.

Since then, the myth of the Loch Ness monster has only magnified.

In 1934, a London doctor snapped a photograph that seemed to show a dinosaur-looking creature with a long neck emerging from the water. Then a home movie from 1960 showed a strange figure swimming in the water behind a family picnicking, although British intelligence later analyzed the film and concluded the figure was likely "something inanimate."

Of the millions of people who have looked into Loch Ness searching for something within, about 1,000 visitors have reported unusual sightings.

Unfortunately for Nessie-trackers, the "monster" spotted by Cooke looks an awful lot like a boat. But if you'd like to check it out for yourself, enter the following coordinates in Google Earth: Latitude 57°12'52.13"N, Longitude 4°34'14.16"W.

In my opinion it looks like a boat. You can see the ripple in the water that supposedly looks like it's flippers. Decide for yourself.
