Crypto-Rats at Roswell There's Something in the Woods
Nick Redfern, whose collaborative book effort with Ken Gerhard, Monsters of Texas, led to his delivering a lecture on the book's subject a few weeks ago in Denton, TX, shares a story that came up in the lecture's question and answer section. One of the attendees related a tale of the Roswell Incident debris from 1947 being taken to Carswell Air Force Base in Texas. According to the attendee, the debris wasn't all that arrived at Carswell. Did a pack of rat-like, intelligent animals that "moved and acted in group-fashion" accompany the Roswell debris? Was the existence of these animals another government coverup? And Redfern has another possible government coverup in mind with a posting elsewhere about Puerto Rico's vampiric Chupacabras, as he relates in Lair of the Beasts: Monsters and Conspiracies. Meanwhile, recent release of footage made in 2009 that, according to the videographer, showed a Tasmanian Tiger has brought forth an opposing opinion from an evolutionary biologist who says he has the creature's DNA, as revealed, with a replaying of the video, in Tassie Tiger a Red (Herring) Fox? Elsewhere, the 1930s era story of the talking mongoose that lived in a home in England can be revisited in an archived newspaper account of the phenomenon, as seen in Mildly Intriguing Talking Mongoose Synchronicity. The synchronicity involves the fact that the latest edition of Fortean Times has an article about the mystery of "Gef," as the talking mongoose was known.
