CANADIANS DO BELIEVE!
In Ottawa, Canada, the results of a significant new UFO survey
suggest that the U.S. is no longer the ufology capital of the
world. A renowned polling firm, the Angus Reid Group surveyed
more than fifteen hundred carefully chosen adults who
statistically speaking represent all of Canada. The pollsters
found that a remarkable seventy percent of all Canadians believe
in the possibility of extraterrestrial life. When asked if they
think that alien beings have already visited earth, fifty percent
said yes and another forty percent said that if they haven't
already, they will. As Hubble probes unchartered space territory
and NASA announces there may be live on Mars, a majority of
Canadians may just be reflecting what the rest of the world is
thinking. We are not alone.
THE THIRD MAN!
Bigfoot advocates are feeling pretty smug these days. For years,
Crypto zoologists have argued that Neanderthal man and Homo
Sapiens are not the only humans to have walked the earth
together. There's a third human species out there they've been
insisting and it turns out they're probably right.
In Java, on the banks of the Solo River, skulls of an early human
species, Homo Erectus have been unearthed. And from a time when
they should have been extinct. While some scientists believe that
these fossils are a very early branch on Bigfoot's family tree,
most will only say that it is time to challenge the belief that
we are the direct descendents of Homo Erectus.
Mainstream anthropologists have only recently acknowledged that
Homo Sapiens ever co-existed with anybody at all. And so, their
acceptance of a third species, hovers between slow and stagnant.
But some scientists are encouraged and moving forward quickly.
The discovery that Homo Erectus has apparently outlived its
supposed extinction by more than two hundred thousand years gives
hope to those who feel that reports of Bigfoot's extinction are
greatly exaggerated.
CHUPACABRAS ON THE NET!
On the World Wide Web, a blood sucking humanoid first discovered
in Puerto Rico is now invading *the Internet. The Chupacabra or
goat sucker is the latest monster to emerge from the shadows of
myth and take the heat for a mysterious string of bizarre
livestock deaths. With one *mouse click, you can download images,
get up to date facts with the chupacabra time line and read first
hand accounts as they come in from new eyewitnesses.
