Skunk Ape or just a big monkey?

Authorities in Florida said a large monkey, estimated to be 4 feet tall when on all fours, has been spotted at least four times in the St. Cloud region.

Osceola County Animal Control and the St. Cloud Police Department said the primate has been spotted in the area on at least four occasions, once behind a Home Depot store in Dakota Avenue and three times in the Wisconsin Avenue area, WKMG-TV, Orlando, reported Wednesday.

Authorities said they do not know where the animal came from and they are encouraging anyone who spots the monkey to call police or Animal Control.

Les Platt, who lives in the Wisconsin Avenue area, said the monkey was spotted by some houseguests.

“He just walked across, and then he stood upright on his two hind legs. Up to that point, they thought they were looking at a wildcat,” Plett said. “I lived in the Philippines, I had a number of pet monkeys — and they can be very mean and can bite — so maybe someone just got tired of taking care of the monkey.”

An important UFO event has taken place in the village Lesopilniy in the region of Khabarovsk again in Russia, receiving massive media attention. Apparently a 200 meter craft hovered over the city, being seen by many people.

The release of the FBI’s ‘Vault’ has got everyone who are interested in UFO’s quite excited.

First we heard of the memo about the Roswell UFO crash and recovered alien bodies. Now he see a report sent to FBI director Edgar Hoover in 1949 with the title ‘Flying Discs’.

The note details how three separate people – a policeman, a highway patrolman and an army guard – all witnessed a UFO on the night of April 4th 1949. These witnesses were not in the same area at the time.

All reported seeing a ‘silver coloured object high up approaching the mountains at Sardine Canyon’, which then ‘appeared to explode in a rash of fire’.

‘Several residents [reported] seeing what appeared to be two aerial explosions, followed by falling object,’ it goes on to say.

The memo to Hoover and many more can now be viewed by members of the public through a new online portal called The Vault.

With echoes of the DB Cooper case, three ‘credible’ witnesses reported seeing a man leap from a plane at a high altitude and then plummeting towards the earth.

Initially they thought he was a skydiver, but no parachute was deployed and they were convinced that he fell to his death.

There is only one problem, despite a search of the densely populated Atlantic City, nothing has turned up. The man has completely disappeared.

The search began with search parties, but later helicopters were drafted in to help. Nothing was found.

So how does a person fall froma plane and then vanish?

The witnesses could have been mistaken. Perhaps they thought it was a person but was just something else falling from the plane.

It could have been a hoax where the people in the plane pushed out a dummy or ‘human sized’ package.

Another possibility is that it was part of a drug smuggling ring. The packaged drugs are pushed out the plane and then collected by someone on the ground in a designated area.

If it was indeed a body, then perhaps it is hidden amongst foliage, on top of a roof or fallen into water. In any of these cases, it would be hard to find the body.

The final unbelievable and unlikely suggestion is that perhaps the person managed to survive the fall and merely walked away.

Part of the mystery is that no planes have reported losing a passenger…
