Mention the name of John Keel to anyone with an interest in UFOs, cryptozoology, and the paranormal, and doing so will likely provoke imagery of Keel's research into two areas he was particularly known for investigating: (a) Mothman and (b) the Men in Black.
There is, however, one case that Keel only briefly touched upon in his all-time classic, The Mothman Prophecies, but which is of such genuine high-strangeness that it is definitely worthy of further study and commentary. It was a story that surfaced in late October 1971, and reached the eyes and ears of the United States' media. This was hardly surprising since - in a curious fashion - it involved none other than President Richard Nixon.
The story - which Keel presents in his book, in verbatim form from a newspaper article - revolves around a woman named Shirley Cromartie. She was a mother of three, who - the press revealed - held a security clearance in the Florida White House and who found herself plunged into a profoundly strange situation.

PUBLISHED ON 19 OCT 2013 BY UFOTVSTUDIOS On March 25, 1948 a UFO spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin crashed in a place called Aztec, New Mexico. Sixteen alien bodies were discovered dead inside. The alien bodies and all evidence of their spacecraft were soon transported by government officials to Wright Patterson Air force Base where all traces of this event disappeared in secrecy.
This program documents the shocking facts around this disturbing mystery and includes interviews with leading UFO researchers, a walking tour of the crash site, a tour of the secret US radar station that tracked the UFO crash and the story of an intensive government investigation into alien biology and space technology.
UFOS & THE US MILITARY - THE BULLET VERSION
This video features the history of United States military involvement with UFOs and confessions from high ranking government officials about their involvement in a cover-up to hide the truth from the American public regarding the existence of UFOs and Extraterrestrial visitors to Earth.

Gray Barker's own, unique take on what is arguably that most mysterious of all crypto-creatures - the Mothman - is now back in print.
Yep, his classic title, "THE SILVER BRIDGE" (the original of which regularly goes for a whopping 150.00 and above online) has just been re-printed.
My review-copy arrived yesterday; however, Andy Colvin - the author of "THE MOTHMAN'S PHOTOGRAPHER" trilogy of books and the driving force behind the new edition - tells me it won't be available on Amazon until later this week or possibly next.
It's been at least 15 years since I last read Barker's book; and so rather than review it here from memory, I'm going to re-read it and then write my review.
I'll let you know when I get an update about its online availability. Until then, here's what the back-cover blurb says about Barker's book:
"What kind of book is THE SILVER BRIDGE? Well, it is primarily not about the collapse of the "Silver Bridge" in Pt. Pleasant, West Virginia, which killed almost 50 people back in 1967 - though it does describe the strange events that preceded the collapse."
"
"Is it about "Mothman," the hypnotic bird-man who terrified the Ohio and Kanawha Valleys in 1966 and later became as famous as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Or...Is it a dramatic, emotional docudrama, such as when we hear the sobbing of a sad child, calling for his dog after the unfortunate animal has been mysteriously snatched out of this world?"
"
"And what about Woody Derenberger, wondering whether he should tell his neighbors about the otherworldly "Indrid Cold," who stopped his van on Interstate 77 for a mind-shattering "interplanetary" interview? It can't be science fiction, because these events actually occurred, as a search through the newspaper files of this time will prove."
"
"One suspects that Barker has in fact written something completely different. It's a new genre of sorts, about a creature that, ironically, may be very old. Ancient lore tells us that flying avatars similar to the Mothman, such as the Garuda, Thunderbird, and Piasa, have been around a long time."
"
"THE SILVER BRIDGE is multi-layered and will likely be interpreted differently by each reader. Some will rave of its "deep psychological content," others its "social commentary." Many will be content to sit back and simply enjoy this hair-raising narrative - though it might well creep nightmarishly back into their minds late at night, like the barely audible chanting of robed figures in the foggy, moonlit woods. Regardless of what THE SILVER BRIDGE really is, one thing is certain: it will haunt you forever..."
"
"This 2008 edition features new introductions by ufology legends Alan Greenfield and Jim Moseley, as well as a foreword by paranormal researcher Andy Colvin, aka "THE MOTHMAN'S PHOTOGRAPHER," whose book trilogy of the same name renewed interest in the MIB conspiracies discovered by Barker. ISBN: 978-1-4392-0427-6 "

UFO UFOs UFO News Alien Abduction Paranormal
Dr. Steven Greer has been pretty quiet on the disclosure scene for the last couple of years (at least in public view) so it seems he bursting back on the scene with an announcement about a film that is set to "change the course of history". In the last few years many people have become skeptical of Dr. Greer for various reasons but this is not uncommon in the UFO field. Along with the belief in UFOs and alien visitation there is a large base of people that believe many things are conspiratorial. If you truly believe (or even know) that UFOs are visiting earth than you are pretty likely to believe that the government, more specifically the American Government knows about it as well, therefore a major conspiracy is being perpetrated on the people of the world. This conspiracy notion can run rampant at times, a conspiracy can exists within a conspiracy. This seems to be where Dr. Greer is caught. If people believe that he is being too commercial, than he has sold out. If they believe he is too close to the government than he is an agent of disinformation. The conspiracy notions can go on and on! I believe Dr. Greer is for real, I believe his intentions are honest and that he has dedicated his life to getting the governments of the world to disclosure their knowledge of UFOs, alien visitation and technology that could actually "change the world". From what I have read and researched I believe that he has first hand knowledge of some of this information. For a link to the Goldwater papers and Greer documents click here and here. He is walking a fine line between disclosure and recrimination from the UFO believers. In many ways he is in a no win situation. Letter from Dr. Greer Dear friends of Disclosure, The Disclosure Project and CSETI has teamed up with Emmy award winning filmmaker Amardeep Kaleka to make an historic new documentary on Disclosure, Contact and the suppression of New Energy. The combination of the extensive top-secret witness testimony and evidence collected by The Disclosure Project will be combined with the highly accomplished film-making talent of Mr. Kaleka and his group to make a film that will change the course of history. No major studio or media group will touch this story : It is simply too explosive and world- changing for large corporate interests to embrace. For this reason This will be funded, produced and distributed through the support of people like you. You can make a contribution at: www.sirius.neverendinglight.com. Each contribution comes with great incentives ranging from a free Director's cut of the film to attendance at the Red Carpet Premiere, to a week long Contact Expedition with me and the CSETI Contact team. Please let all of your friends and contacts know about this major new Disclosure initiative by providing links to us on your Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites. It is time for the next big step in Disclosure. Since 2001, dozens of governments have opened up their UFO files- and more is coming. Now the entire world must know that we are not alone, and that the secrecy has been driven by greed and corruption- to hide from humanity the earth-saving technologies behind UFO energy and propulsion systems. The proceeds from this film will go to fund the research and development of New Energy sources. If you can help us make this film a success, we the people will do what neither the government nor big corporations dare do: End the era of oil and coal and usher in a new, abundant and sustainable civilization on earth- capable and worthy of traveling amongst the stars. Please help us in any way you can- if all of us pull together the result with be a Global Spring and the renewal of human civilization! Thank you for your help and support! Sincerely, Steven M. Greer MD Founder and Director The Disclosure Project and CSETI So it does not really matter what most of the conspiratorial theories say about Dr. Steven Greer, the world needs a disclosure champion and at the present time he is the only one stepping forward with enough passion, conviction and connections to bring some of this information in the daylight. At the present time Steven Greer is our best hope for some of this information to be made public.
As Reported in the news recently, scientists have supposedly found real evidence of the existence of a hairy bipedal creature known as the Siberian Yeti. Researchers are claiming they are 96% sure that the fabled Russian version of the Abominable Snowman lives in the Kemerovo region of Siberia. a group of scientists set out for the remote mountainous area in search of the elusive being. and it didn't take very long for them to issue a statement on the official Kemerovo website stating they had found "footprints, a probable den and various markers that Yetis mark their territory with."
They concluded that the artifacts gave them 96% proof of the existence of Yeti in the Kemerovo region. Some possible Yeti hair samples reportedly found in the region will be analyzed in a laboratory to determine their origin.
The jury is still out on the case but our own Trent "Yetiman" Mullen was on site for a comment. "This doesn't seem to be any more than a group of inexperienced field researchers finding some hair of undetermined origin and calling it Bigfoot hair. there is no proof here that would hold up zoologically. additionally, I can attest personally that there is no way these people could find the lair of the yeti."
Skeptics point out that the area of Siberia that's allegedly home to the yeti legend helps promote tourism. In fact, opening day of the ski season is known as the "Day of the Yeti" -- an attempt to bring in more skiers to the area.

Scientists hope to use DNA testing to confirm or disprove whether Bigfoot exits. Rumors of the hairy humanoid known variously as the yeti, bigfoot and sasquatch have persisted for decades, despite little hard evidence beyond grainy photographs and plaster casts of giant footprints. Now scientists are hoping to make more of a case for the creature -- with the help of genetic testing, Reuters reported.
The Lausanne Museum of Zoology in Switzerland together with prestigious Oxford University said Tuesday, May 22, that they will together use DNA testing to examine organic remains that some claim belong to the beast.
"It's an area that any serious academic ventures into with a deal of trepidation... it's full of eccentric and downright misleading reports," Bryan Sykes at Oxford's Wolfson College told Reuters.
Lausanne has an archive of such organic material assembled by researcher Bernard Heuvelmans, the news agency reported. Heuvelmans sought the yeti for over 50 years until his death in 2001.
"There have been DNA tests done on alleged yetis and other such things but since then the testing techniques, particularly on hair, have improved a lot due to advances in forensic science," Sykes said.
Despite the lack of hard evidence, Bigfoot believers are steadfast in their conviction that somewhere out there lurks a giant hominoid that simply has eluded all efforts to track it down.
"I have been immersed in Sasquatch research for a number of years, and I can tell you in my mind a mountain of evidence supports the existence of these creatures," Ken Gerhard, a San Antonio cryptozoologist who co-wrote "Monsters of Texas," recently told the Houston Chronicle.I used to watch "Monsterquest", a cryptozoology show on the History Channel, that used scientific tests and approaches to determine the truth about various monsters. Most of the time, the show disproved the sightings. However, there were a few that were inconclusive, including Bigfoot.

We've dealt along with the William Rhoades UFO photo from July 7th, 1947 at this blog and in a world of your own earlier.
Anthony Bragalia has provided explanation on the photo.
Hayden Hewes extremely evaluated the photos (two) in a "UFO Keep" article [October 1978, Minion 40 ff.], from which the image condescending comes.
Portray are discrete elements in the Rhoades story that narrative...
Initial bestow is the date of the photos -- July 7th, 1947 -- the time side of the Roswell incident. Rhoades took his photo(s) in Phoenix, Arizona everyplace he lived.
Men in Black, apparently, visited Mr. Rhoades and allegedly warned him about discussing the photos -- that "would be designed and act of espionage" they told him.
Air Organization statistics motion that the military took the have a high opinion of disparagingly, as AF statistics show [Affair 40, July 7, 1947, 1600 hours, Phoenix, Ariz] Mr. Hewes reports.
An look at by John A. Clinton, for the Air Organization, adjudicated the photos were faked.
But William Spaulding of Realm Saucer Keep disagreed, language that the Rhoades photos were bona fide, vetting a complete object (30/35 feet in diameter), about 4000 feet from Rhoade's [box] camera. The object had a light key in, not a schedule in the hub as one saw it, and appeared put on, along with venting holes on the brace side.
Kenneth Arnold reportedly whispered, "On June 24th such as I ready my notion of the nine flying disks, the gleam one from the underneath looked neutral thoroughly equate the piture that [a Head Davidson] drew [for Arnold of the Rhoades craft].
The photos were full from him by two members of the intelligence local Rhoades whispered, and they were never returned or found, Rhoades attempting a set of circumstances to recapture them, which was never brought to fruition.
The Rhoades story and photos bolt one theater company and contributors in the field of, and I can see why; The date of the shooting, the men in black, the contrary evaluations of closeness, the Arnold criticism, and Rhoades acceptance among other elements in this old fight.

This film was conquered by a high reparation government photographer, in the summer of 1947, having the status of the most absolutely established and witnessed crash of a flying saucer occurred in a remote abandon of New Mexico. (see the book, The Reality about the UFO Become public at Roswell, by Randle and Schmitt)
After filming the inconceivable endeavors, in addition to the crash site and two autopsies, the cameraman turned over 300 proceedings of 16mm black and white film to the Pentagon. He relaxed had 90 proceedings of film passed away to shrink at his person lab. Exceedingly, the Pentagon never retrieved these protracted reels from him. He inert up despoil them environment amid him in 1952, having the status of he went on to voter work. He silently detached the film reels in his house, under his bed, for over forty excitement.
The footage was sold by the cameraman (now 80 excitement old), last November, to London producer Ray Santilli, who is preparing to release this informative film to the familiar in the loving fortune. A announce of U.S. Senators and Government finally saw the autopsy footage, and it appears that an investigation is in be off. We may afterward greet how greatly has been plastic-coated up by the military all these excitement.

SETI Pioneer debunks crop circles as ET communicationsJune 6, 9:39 AM Chilbolten Crop Circle - ET answer to 1974 Arecibo Message?In a recently recorded interview,Dr Frank Drake responded to questions concerning the "scientific DETECTION OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE". He stated his view that" RADIO SIGNALS ARE THE OPTIMAL WAY IN WHICH EXTRATERRESTRIALS WOULD COMMUNICATE WITH HUMANITY." He gave NASA communications with satellites and space missions as an example of the appropriateness of radiosignals. He said that the "SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIALS INTELLIGENCE(SETI) SHOULD FOCUS ON THOSE PARTS OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM THATARE THE MOST APPROPRIATE FOR RADIO SIGNALS FROM EXTRATERRESTRIALS." Inanswer to the question of whether some crop circles were a possible extraterrestrial response to the 1974 Arecibo message, Drake said: "ALIENS WOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO COMMUNICATE WITH HUMANS IN THIS RIDICULOUS WAY". In response to Drake's comments veteran cropcircle researcher, Colin Andrews pointed to various features of crop circles that reflect an extraterrestrial origin. Andrews may well be right. Crop circles could be created by extraterrestrials using torsion fields for remote communications and other purposes.cont: http://shar.es/oZ5W

Good word - This is a series of my opinion on the happy stuff that I hang on compiled from my observations preventedON HISTORY: The knock down of sternness involved in discussing history is a few notches in the knock down of sternness involved in news contacts. The ancients didn't fund satisfactory diagrams to go not later than their odd claims. (stone carvings, and such, despite the fact that)History TECHNOLOGIES: I pleasantly ask that the pyramids may possibly hang on been levitated by accoustical emission, according to one of the claims from the History Aliens Equipment show, conclusive the climb up of decibels be next to for such a thing.It is achievable that the ancient possibly had film projectors corroborate so, ethical notice a different pane lens and line mirror up not later than a person responsible of light dazzling off of breeziness drawings on in a bit flipping papyrus sheets, aiming at a colorless highlighted guise.Exclusive that a lot of ancient mythology pertain to extraterrestrials, primeval hybrids, and the fact that they did hang on a choice of interact machines as well, perhaps it is achievable that the ancients enormously had all sorts of inborn experiments separation on, or perhaps inborn experiments joined not later than aliens and robots as well. Unknown SKEPTICISM: I'm amazing wary of high-pitched beings visiting Mop the floor with, and regular pompous wary of them being able to smell our air, but as far as microbial or viral aliens I drop that quite pompous instinctive to be the case. I in the same way quantity it's achievable that convinced ancients fabricated satellite dish flying balloons and possibly regular put convinced heiroglyphic objects here gang in a circle the Mop the floor with (perhaps via a giant catapult or chemical rise). But, considerably, an high-pitched alien visiting Mop the floor with would be amazing muggy to a human visiting the Bonobos relations, despite the fact that, in the actual way that humans aren't worshipped by Bonobos, it is to a great extent under instinctive that high-pitched aliens would be worshipped by humans. Why would pleasantly over aliens hang on visited our ancient societies and so hang on enslaved the under high-pitched humans since in fact they may possibly hang on employed over robotics to get through to their work instead?Why would ancient aliens use DNA to ignite us more exactly of everything that can halt profound space radiation? Too, there's no squeal why life may possibly not hang on sailed hip on radiation coerce in a meteor.If our group can bribe not later than other life on Mop the floor with, so that means our group can bribe not later than life on other planets too. I wouldn't interest owning an alien ant commune or alien fish bait boiler or whatnot, so hope for as they are scientifically under over than we are, hell, I wouldn't regular interest owning a prisoner space monkey....I presume that it is continuation of the fittest, but at the actual time I wouldn't get-up-and-go do something anything mean to a under over group as I wouldn't presume a pompous over group to do anything mean to us, unless we were first on the warpath to them.Conceivably strong interstellar enthralling fields may possibly hang on launched alien spacecraft in a circle, as per Electromagnetic Break Weather.Conceivably convinced of relatives alien witnesses are hallucinations, perhaps other UFO's are radar malfunctions, perhaps most of the rest are hoaxes or weird military drones or national test flights, perhaps a lot are meteors and other inborn phenomena, but a matchless few of UFO and other bizzar sitings are not decipherable by any of relatives categories conversely. It's relatives remaining few of the sitings that favorably irritate the UFO fans among us.In the interior DOCUMENTS: As frankly as everything becomes classified, so nearby is all sorts of speculation about why. The U.S. government has begun classifying meteorite impacts for convinced squeal.UFOs:Expound are a choice of achievable explanations for UFO incidents, also one is lonely. Ice particles, star wars tests, space drivel, top secret government crafts, high tech hobbyists, irregular weather patterns, illusions, hallucinations, hoaxes, etc, and so nearby are alien spacecraft as well.I deduce that, all right, UFO goings-on that are observed in huge amount or that die the news are the most true to life, followed by reports from vfr pilots, astronauts, and air development controllers, and so nearby are the make conform and military staff....despite the fact that, sometimes regular the best of them can be immoral, and other era the best of them can put out personal view too.How is it that a UFO has never shot down a fighter pilot or a pilot has never shot down a UFO if nearby has been these reported "dog fights"? Or perhaps it has occurred but precisely has been masked up (Boyd Bushman claims the Roswell UFO was shot down through secret electrical Tesla weapons mounted on an jet). Why hasn't nearby been any inventors who hang on fabricated first-class devices whom reasonable to hang on been conclusive information by aliens? Wholeheartedly no inventors would be inconsolable about the aliens in receipt of earlier art, am I right?ON Liberal TECHNOLOGIES: Equipment constantly wins the war, by the way it has constantly been technology deployed by a military force. Nevertheless, if technology were to alteration on us, well, we wouldn't stand a strollMy original plunk on the problem is that inventions that expand organization are fondly, but that inventions that switch over organization are bad. Nevertheless, that will all tip over convinced day in the arctic on purpose since we mature forgotten the requirement for an whole appear, perhaps we will exist as minds in a robot's appear in the on purpose, or perhaps as we unite not later than high-pitched supercomputer minds and robotics, and not later than nanotech, etc. The on purpose is everything to be embraced, as supply and proviso allows pompous children to cover up the bio-technical enhancements that technology will back for us, as we as organization characterize the route our on purpose will notice.Way of life is eternal, and evolves here upturn.IMMORTALITY:The attraction of exclusive immortality occurs since we tarn mortals hang on a choice of weighty substance but not satisfactory time to bring to bear them all and see them to fruition. Nevertheless, until the day since immortality is promising, the best answer is to team them, protection them candid like a person responsible of free intended, free for all sensitive life to notice a stroll at.
I have never seen a mermaid. Lord knows I always wanted to. Blame it on SPLASH. I thought it was possible to fall off a ferry and have a mermaid rescue you. But then I grew up. And even though I was still fascinated, I kept it on the downlow...because, well...people look at you funny when you talk about mermaids. They look at you funny when you talk about Ufo's, Aliens, Bigfoot and Sea Serpents too. But they really, really look at you, cock their head to one side...make a whirling-like finger signal near their temple and roll their eyes. They automatically classify you as 'one of those'.
So...even though one of my childhood fantasies was to PROVE the existence of such cryptids, I didn't discuss this 'dream' with everyone. And now, over at Cryptomundo, it seems a lot of people are delving into the topic. Mostly their just stating their opinions or provoking discussion. It's all good. We need to talk about it. We need to peel off the stigma attached to it. After all, our ancestors talked about mermaids like we talk about celebrities in tabloids.
Same diff.
I grew up hearing tales of mermaids from my grandmother and a host of other people. They never laughed it off as some trick of the eye. They never suggested it was a manatee or any other sea creature easily mistaken for a humanoid with a fish tail. No. Instead they embraced the fact that they saw something extraordinary. That's how it used to be.
But now, you can't believe in mermaids. Why? Because science says they are impossible. Well excuse me, but I seem to remember this thing called evolution that states quite unnervingly (if ya ask me) that land mammals strolled on out of the waters some time ago. Yup. They scampered out of the sea, and their fins turned into legs and they went on their merry way.
Soooo...there seems to be NO contest with this theory. And yet, no one can accept that maybe some mammals just didn't come out of the water and sprout landfaring appendages. Maybe some of them (think aquatic apes), evolved differently. We got accustomed to oxygen this way...and they got accustomed to pulling oxygen out of water. We grew legs to walk on this dry earth with. But they, being of oceanic origins, grew fins. We have aposeable thumbs and they have crab claws, or hooky talons.
I could be more scientific about it, but why should I be? Why should I throw in all of these biological facts just to say one simple thing: If you believe in humanoids in space, then how the frak can you NOT believe in humanoids in the ocean?
We haven't even explored the entirety of the earths seas. And yet, here we are too sure of ourselves, saying what is and isn't there. FOr all we know Megalodons could be chilling down their...or sea serpents that elude us every day because they just really don't like us.
Who knows what is here and what isn't. Far be it for me to argue with anyone on the matter. Especially if I don't have first hand knowledge to back it up. But I will say this: When people see something extraordinary, they talk about it. That's how all these stories evolve. Just because you don't believe it, that doesn't make it any less likely. Or any less fantastic.
Mermaids. Fact or fiction? I'll let you know when I see one.

CELEBRATING 1,447 YEARS OF THE LOCH NESS MONSTER
An artist's depiction of a Plesiosaur, the same species Nessie reportedly belongs to. Photo: The Berlin AquariumYesterday, 1,447 years ago the Gaelic Irish missionary monk Saint Columba was poking around the Scottish highlands when he reportedly stumbled upon a creature no man had before seen: an ancient, long-surviving plesiosaurs, better known now as the Loch Ness monster. According to Adomnan, the ninth Abbot of Iona who later recorded Columba's adventures, the Saint came upon a group of locals digging a grave for a man recently killed by a monster said to inhabit the River Ness. All fired up, Columba took off for the river and promptly saved a swimmer from the monster by invoking the sign of the cross and declaring, "Thou shalt go no further, nor touch the man; go back with all speed." The beast halted as if it were "pulled back with ropes" and fled in terror. Columba saved the swimmer and won over a few converts from the grateful villagers.Thus, the legend of the Loch Ness monster was born. Of course, the fact that Adomnan also recounts adventures in which Columba calms storms, expels evil spirits and raises people from the dead made no impact on the legend's believability, nor did the fact that Medieval water monster stories were a favorite gimmick used to instil the fear of God in quaking believers. And somewhere through the passings on of local lore, Loch Ness, Scotland's second-largest loch, or lake, took over as the monster's home rather than the originally reported River Ness, which runs off the lake.After the Saint's close call, the monster was not "spotted" for another 1,368 years, when Mr. and Mrs. George Spicer reported seeing "a most extraordinary form of animal" cross the road in front of their car on July 22, 1933. According to their account, the creature was about 25 feet long and 4 feet high, with a long, spotted neck that resembled a thick elephant trunk.Their account sparked a frenzy of similar sightings, including hunting parties determined to catch the animal "dead or alive." As technology developed, so too did the various ways in which people tried to depict the monster, including by film, video or sonar. Later analysis revealed each one to be a creatively staged hoax.Just in time for Nessie's anniversary, however, a new photo - the "best yet" - emerged. ABC news reports:George Edwards takes his boat, "Nessie Hunter," out onto Loch Ness nearly every day, often with tourists who hope to see the creature for themselves. Early one morning in November of last year, Edwards was turning his ship back to shore after spending the morning searching for an old steam engine on the lake floor, when he saw something else.
"I saw something out of the corner of my eye, and immediately grabbed my camera," Edwards told ABC News. "I happened to get a good picture of one of them."Edwards said he watched the creature for about 10 minutes, but does not explain why he only snapped one photo during that window.Rival Loch Ness monster enthusiast Steve Felthman already called foul and debunked the photo to STV News:He says he is convinced Mr Edwards took the picture during the filming of a documentary on the monster which he participated in, and has sourced the film's fake fibreglass hump which he believes is the star of Mr Edwards' snap.
Mr Feltham said: "There's absolutely no doubt that this is the same thing. Look at the step slope on the front - it's got several ridges on it. The number of ridges is the same as on the model.Edwards countered, claiming to know nothing about any fake hump although admitting Feltham is "entitled to his opinion." Even at 1,447 years old, the legend of the Loch Ness monster just keeps on giving.More from Smithsonian.com:Yes, We're Actually Still Looking for the Yeti Crop Circles: The Art of the Hoax

YES, WE'RE ACTUALLY STILL LOOKING FOR THE YETI
Bring me to your yeti leader, and I'll test its DNA. Image: tolomeaMany scientists make their careers out of searching for the seemingly unfindable. The Higgs Boson, dark matter, the secret, hidden pieces of our universe. Other scientists search for things that probably aren't real at all. Like yetis. Researchers are about to embark on a quest to determine once and for all whether or not Yetis exist.That's right, a Yeti hunt. It's got a fancier name - the Oxford-Lausanne Collateral Hominid Project - but it's a serious, scientific, Yeti hunt.The project focuses on DNA analysis. They're accepting submissions of samples from pretty much anyone who thinks they have evidence of a Yeti. People send the material in to them, where it's tested for DNA. That DNA can tell them a whole lot about whether the mythical beast exists.Now, there have in fact been DNA tests on supposed Yeti samples before. Every time they've come back as being human. But DNA techniques have gotten better, and the scientists are willing to give it one last go. Well, at least some of them. BBC Futures sums up the scientific atmosphere:It is likely that the project is the biggest and most comprehensive attempt yet to probe suspected "remains". "Nothing like this, on this level, has been done before," says Richard Freeman from the Centre for Fortean Zoology in the UK. But therein lies the rub. For people like Freeman who devote their lives to looking for these creatures, it is the biggest signal yet that after years out in the cold mainstream science is finally taking the seriously. But for some scientists, the whole venture is an embarrassing curiosity to be held at arm's length.One of the scientists involved in the project, Bryan Sykes, sees this as a catch all for those who claim science brushes them off. "It's one of the claims by cryptozoologists that science does not take them seriously. Well, this is their chance. We are calling for people to send us their evidence, and we will test it through DNA analysis," he told the BBC.This DNA evidence will certainly not be a nail in any sort of Yeti coffin. Even if they find no evidence whatsoever of the yeti, many will still believe. Last year, the Huffington Post reported that some scientists were "95 percent certain" that they had found evidence of the Yeti. Before that, bigfoot "researchers" asked people in California for money to test whether the creature left residue behind on a pickup truck.Even the director of the International Cryptozoology Museum is skeptical of many of these claims. He told The Huffington Post:"This does not seem to be any more than what you hear about from weekend excursions in North America that go out, discovering some hair of undetermined origin, calling it 'Bigfoot hair,' then locating some broken branches and piled trees, saying it was made by Bigfoot, and finding footprints that look like Sasquatch tracks. These are not 'proof' that would hold up, zoologically."But even for Sykes, the geneticist behind the project, this is all a bit far fetched. He's not ruling out the possibility of a new species - we discover new species all the time, many of them quite large. But he acknowledges that there will need to be some evidence. The BBC says, "he is also keen to point out that he is not - nor intends to become - a cryptozoologist. 'I don't not want to become completely eccentric,' he adds."

DID BIGFOOT REALLY EXIST? HOW GIGANTOPITHECUS BECAME EXTINCT
A reconstruction of Gigantopithecus. Image courtesy of Flickr user Sam WiseBigfoot. Sasquatch. Yeti. The Abominable Snowman. Whatever you want to call it, such a giant, mythical ape is not real-at least, not anymore. But more than a million years ago, an ape as big as a polar bear lived in South Asia, until going extinct 300,000 years ago.
Scientists first learned of "Gigantopithecus" in 1935, when Ralph von Koenigswald, a German paleoanthropologist, walked into a pharmacy in Hong Kong and found an unusually large primate molar for sale. Since then, researchers have collected hundreds of "Gigantopithecus "teeth and several jaws in China, Vietnam and India. Based on these fossils, it appears "Gigantopithecus" was closely related to modern orangutans and "Sivapithecus", an ape that lived in Asia about 12 to 8 million years ago. With only dentition to go on, it's hard to piece together what this animal was like. But based on comparisons with gorillas and other modern apes, researchers estimate "Gigantopithecus" stood more than 10 feet tall and weighed 1,200 pounds (at most, gorillas only weigh 400 pounds). Given their size, they probably lived on the ground, walking on their fists like modern orangutans.
Fortunately, fossil teeth do have a lot to say about an animal's diet. And the teeth of "Gigantopithecus" also provide clues to why the ape disappeared.
The features of the dentition-large, flat molars, thick dental enamel, a deep, massive jaw-indicate "Gigantopithecus" probably ate tough, fibrous plants (similar to "Paranthropus"). More evidence came in 1990, when Russell Ciochon, a biological anthropologist at the University of Iowa, and colleagues (PDF) placed samples of the ape's teeth under a scanning electron microscope to look for opal phytoliths, microscopic silica structures that form in plant cells. Based on the types of phyoliths the researchers found stuck to the teeth, they concluded "Gigantopithecus" had a mixed diet of fruits and seeds from the fig family Moraceae and some kind of grasses, probably bamboo. The combination of tough and sugary foods helps explain why so many of the giant ape's teeth were riddled with cavities. And numerous pits on "Gigantopithecus"'s teeth-a sign of incomplete dental development caused by malnuntrition or food shortages-corroborate the bamboo diet. Ciochon's team noted bamboo species today periodically experience mass die-offs, which affect the health of pandas. The same thing could have happened to "Gigantopithecus".
A Gigantopithecus jaw. Image courtesy of WikicommonsFurther evidence of "Gigantopithecus"' food preferences and habitat was published last November. Zhao LingXia of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and colleagues analyzed carbon isotopes in a sample of "Gigantopithecus "teeth. Plants have different forms of carbon based on their type of photosynthesis; this carbon footprint is then recorded in the teeth of animals that eat plants. The team determined "Gigantopithecus-"and the animals living alongside it, such as deer, horses and bears-ate only C3 plants, evidence the ape lived in a forested environment. This work also supports the proposed bamboo diet, as bamboo is a C3 plant.
So what happened to this Pleistocene Yeti? Zhang's team suggested the rise of the Tibetan plateau 1.6 million to 800,000 years ago altered the climate of South Asia, ushering in a colder, drier period when forests shrank. Other factors could have exacerbated this crisis. "Gigantopithecus"'s neighbor, "Homo erectus", may have over-hunted and/or outcompeted their larger ape cousin. And at least one dental study indicates "Gigantopithecus" developed and matured very slowly-a sign they probably had low reproductive rates, which can elevate a species' risk of going extinct.
Some Bigfoot hunters say "Gigantopithecus" is alive and well, hiding out in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Other Sasquatch enthusiasts, however, point out this is unlikely, as Bigfoot is reported to be a swift, agile, upright walker-not a lumbering, 1,200-pound quadruped.
