The hunk of metal looks not unlike a giant rubbish bin and one witnesses reported seeing a “smooth, silver U-shaped device with a round part fixed on it” inside it.
While the Yeti has traditionally been sighted in the high Himalayan mountains in central Asia, the Kemerovo region supposedly has a population of about 30 Yetis that have been terrorizing local villagers for years. Igor Burtsev, director of the International Centre of Hominology in Tashtagol, says the Yeti tribe lives in the Kuzbass area, a coal mining region, and speculates that they could even by Neanderthal hominids that have survived despite their extinction in Europe.
The Yetis steal sheep and hens from local people. Raisa Sudochakova, an 82-year-old resident, saw one recently. She reported “It was still a tall creature, but not giant. It was covered with long brown-grey hair, like a bear. It wasn’t a bear. I have lived all my life in Siberia and wouldn’t make that mistake. This creature walked like a human or almost like a human.” She said her dogs ran after seeing the critter. The, ahem, experts say she say a young Yeti.
The scientists say they are now 95 percent sure of the existence of Yetis after a two-day expedition explored the region, including Karatag Peak and Azassky Cave, and found that “irrefutable evidence.” A statement from the Kemerovo government says they “found his footprints, his supposed bed, and various markers with which the yeti marks his territory.” It also notes, “In one of the detected tracks, Russian scientist Anatoly Fokin noted several hairs that might belong to the yeti.”
Okay, so they found a possible hair sample, a possible bed and den in a cave, and possible tracks and this all adds up to “irrefutable evidence.” This is all they could come up with for evidence? This is not proof that would hold up in any scientific inquiry. The supposed hair has to be analyzed for genetic markers. A pile of broken branches that forms a “bed” in a cave does not make a Yeti bed. Nor do a few footprints that are photographed and cast with plaster make them Yeti prints and not a bear or simply a person with fake Yeti feet.
Where is the real irrefutable evidence? Perhaps a skeleton or parts of a skeleton. Perhaps a dead specimen. Or perhaps a real-live Yeti? Or even credible photographs of a Yeti that doesn’t look like a man in a costume? That evidence doesn’t exist anywhere; not in Russia, not in the Himalayas, nor in the United States where the Yeti’s closed cousin Bigfoot is rumored to roam.
I’m a skeptic and also look at the world with a scientific bent. By using the tried and true scientific method, we are able to begin to understand and give order to our world. It’s good to have mysteries, to know that the world we inhabit is still filled with mystery and can still fill us with awe at its eerie strangeness.
We have lots of mysterious and legendary creatures, besides our human selves, which live secret lives on this blue planet. Creatures like the Loch Ness Monster; the Yeti and Bigfoot;Ogopogo, a possible dinosaur in Africa; and perhaps even ETs, aliens from other planetary systems.
It may just be an elaborate hoax, but a video has surfaced showing the body of an alien found dead in snow in Siberia.
The slender, badly damaged corpse was found lying on a bed of snow with its head to one side and mouth slightly open, the Daily Mail reported.
The video, posted on April 17 on YouTube, has already had over 100,000 views and showed the body of the unidentified “creature”.
Irkutsk, Russia is apparently a known UFO hotspot, and UFO believers think the body was left behind by alien visitors after an accident, or was missed in a clean-up by the Russian government as part of some sort of alien cover-up.
Dozens of UFO sightings are reported every year in the area, and only last month there were reports of an unidentified object hurtling into the nearby Irkutsk region of Siberia.
Only this week the FBI launched an online archive, named ‘The Vault’, consisting of a number of documents deemed as being of interest to the public. Amongst the 2000 or so documents that make up the archive, a memo, written by the Special Agent in Charge of the Washington Field Office to the FBI Director on March 22, 1950 (see image below), was found, stating the following:
“An investigator for the Air Force stated that three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico. They were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter. Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only three feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed flyers and test pilots.
According to Mr. (redacted) informant, the saucers were found in New Mexico due to the fact that the Government has a very high-powered radar set-up in that area and it is believed the radar interferes with the controlling mechanism of the saucers. No further evaluation was attempted by SA (redacted) concerning the above.”
As some-one previously cynical of the Roswell UFO crash account, this, for me at least, changes the game in a big way. Firstly, the wording is hardly ambiguous: The memo clearly refers to crashed flying saucers. More importantly, small beings are mentioned along with their exotic attire: A first as far as verified documents dating back to not long after the event are concerned.
In short this document confirms that the Government was aware of details relating to the incident, during that era, that only became otherwise known via witness testimony to UFO researchers at much later date. No wonder in 1952 President Truman acknowledged the reality of UFOs in the manner seen in the video below the memo.
