There may finally be proof that a big cat may be on the loose and killing deer in Gloucestershire, experts have warned.

Last week, dog walkers discovered the mutilated carcass of a roe deer on National Trust land near Stroud in England.

The experts believe that the injuries to the neck of the deer and the way the carcass had been consumed are believed to be highly indicative of big cat activity.

Experts have taken DNA samples from the remains of the deer to see whether a big cat, such as a puma or panther, could have killed it.

Local big cat expert Rick Minter, who has visited the site of the discovery at Woodchester Park, said: “It is very helpful to have this forensic study of the deer carcass.

“The consistent feedback I receive from people about possible big cats is that the animals should be studied, so we can learn about the subject.

“Studying likely evidence such as this will help us become more informed.

Mr Minter added: “Although people occasionally report a possible big cat from a distance, close up encounters with such cats are rare.

“Their hearing and movement are exceptional, which helps them avoid close contact with people.”

“In the event of a close-up encounter, you should stay calm and face towards the animal as you back off, but not threaten or aggravate it.

“The chances are it will have backed off very quickly first.”

David Armstrong, the National Trust’s head ranger for Gloucestershire, said: “There are some very occasional sightings of big cats in the Cotswolds, but they have wide territories, so are rarely present in one particular spot for long.

“We’d be interested to hear of any more sightings at Woodchester.”

Dr Robin Allaby, Associate Professor at the school of life sciences at the University of Warwick, visited to take DNA samples.

These are now being tested with the results due by the end of the month.

For centuries, there have been thousands of reported sightings of large felines on moorland and in woods and fields across the UK.

The animals – normally black or brown – are believed have been spotted in almost every county in Britain.

After UK MOD UFO X-Files which had reveled UFO incidents which includes pilot’s ‘Near Miss’ with UFO at Manchester Airport, UK and some top secret UFO facts like Churchill had ordered a 50-Year cover-up on UFOs fearing, it would create mass panic and destroy one’s belief in the church. And yesterday Chinese Astronomer and USA Physicist had also told the world that UFO Are Real.

Now France – UFO Phenomenon is real and definitely extraterrestrial origin.

A new French report released on May 31, 2010 concluded that UFOs are definitely real and possibly of extraterrestrial origin.

The Progress Report of the Sigma/3AF Commission comes from a highly credible source, the Aeronautical & Astronomical Association of France, known as the 3AF, which established a Commission on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena back in May 2008.

The Commission’s President is Alain Boudier, a former French Defense attaché, and one of its key members is Jean-Gabriel Greslé, a former fighter pilot who studied at the U.S. Air Force Academy and later became an airliner pilot with Air France, where he experienced a couple of UFO sightings. Greslé has published three UFO books in France, including Unidentified Flying Objects: An Airline Pilot Talks (Guy Trédaniel, 1993).

The Sigma/3AF is not a final report but just a work in progress document; nevertheless, it provides good background material on the history of official UFO research in France, a balance of Sigma’s work during the last two years, a brief description of the most significant French cases, and some comments and conclusions. The report begins with a brief history of French official UFO research, which is quite extensive: “France is the only country where the collection of Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena (PAN in French) and its scientific study have been assigned since 1977 to a civilian official organization, the CNES (National Center for Space Studies, the French space agency) through the GEPAN study group.”

“The deputy commander of a U.S. Air Force base in England was baffled by what he’d seen: bright, pulsing lights in the night sky.

The Rendlesham file contains U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Charles Halt’s first-hand account of the event, which has been public knowledge for many years. The file includes the conclusions of a British government investigation and a letter from a former defense chief urging officials to take UFOs more seriously.”

“Apparently following the path of an RAF Hercules as it comes in to land, a mysterious round shape hovers ominously in the sky.

But the sight of this strange looking silver orb was enough to send a previously sceptical John Powell running for his camera.”
