1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,080 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,200 In this episode, we're talking about black Panthers and UFOs. 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,560 That's correct, Black Panthers and UFOs. 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,120 Specifically. We're asking are these Black 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,200 Panther sightings related to some kind of crypted sightings? 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,600 You know, we talk about Bigfoot being related to UFOs, how a lot 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,240 of us think that these things are actually some kind of a non 8 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:27,000 human entity, some some kind of Cryptid possibly. 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,840 And this is what we're looking at with these black Panthers 10 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,360 because it seems, at least in my opinion, hard to imagine that we 11 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,240 would have this whole population of black Panthers roaming places 12 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,920 everywhere from North America to the UK without really being 13 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,680 spotted. It's kind of the same thing with 14 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,800 Bigfoot and we there's one or two ways to look at that. 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,000 Either these things are some sort of biological creatures 16 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,440 that are out there that we're just overlooking, or perhaps I 17 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,600 think more likely there's some sort of non human entity, some 18 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,240 kind of Cryptid that's phasing in and out of our reality. 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,840 Maybe they take on a biologic shape or form and then they're 20 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,160 gone. Now this first article that 21 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,600 we're looking to comes from animalian.com. 22 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,120 It says Black Panther. It says cryptids sightings of 23 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,440 big Black Cats are often reported. 24 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,120 It's written by Jake Carter, dated July 7th, 2019 under 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,880 cryptids and monsters. It begins by saying although two 26 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,280 species of big cats are known to have a sizable populations of 27 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,200 blackface individuals, only one of these lives in the Americas 28 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,240 and not in the northeast. Reports of large Black Cats too 29 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,520 large to be house cats that seem to be that seem to resemble 30 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,440 black Panthers have been reportedly seen in the 31 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,320 Appalachian Mountains in the northeast United States. 32 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,840 These creatures have garnered the attention of 33 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,400 cryptozoologists, as biologists refuse to recognize the cats as 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,960 real in such parts of the country that sightings of big 35 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,360 Black Cats in the Appalachia are still reported every so often. 36 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,960 That is why some have come to see a black Panthers as 37 00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,600 cryptids, according to New animal.com. 38 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,080 Well, the same thing that we run into with the Bigfoot. 39 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,880 Biologists refuse to recognize these things, but people keep 40 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,320 reporting them. When people think of popular 41 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,520 cryptids, eerie creatures like the Chupacabra and Bigfoot may 42 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,120 come to mind. But this animal, which is 43 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,080 certainly real elsewhere, fits the category because it is not 44 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,360 thought to inhabit the northeastern US, He goes on. 45 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,200 He says actual black Panthers, maybe leopards or Jaguars. 46 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,640 Both felines go through a stage where their fur turns black. 47 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,440 Leopards are native to Africa and Asia, and Jaguars are found 48 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,920 in Central and South America, and perhaps at times in the very 49 00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:38,600 southern parts of the United States. 50 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,080 Of course, we'll see later that they haven't seen one down there 51 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,040 since the late 40s. The black phase in these cats is 52 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,320 simply a color variant, and it's fur. 53 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,640 There are two species of big cats in the Western Hemisphere, 54 00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:52,440 which are the Jaguar and the Mountain Lion. 55 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:55,840 Although mountain lions have historically inhabited just 56 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,440 about all areas of the continental United States, as 57 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,920 well as much of Canada and almost all of Central and South 58 00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:04,600 America, there has never been a single recorded black phase in a 59 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,080 cougar. Although Jaguars represent one 60 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,840 of the two big cats worldwide that come in black, the very 61 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,160 northern limit of their range is the extreme Southwest in the 62 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,520 United States. Furthermore, black Jaguars are 63 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,600 much more common in the southern parts of their range in the 64 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,960 Amazon Rainforest. Appalachian black Panthers are 65 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,360 revered by cryptics because biologists refuse to recognize 66 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,840 the possibility of their existence. 67 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,080 From Tennessee and West Virginia to the north, reports of Black 68 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,760 Panther sightings are somewhat frequent, although such possible 69 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,040 prey as deer and rodents as well as fish are available in 70 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,440 Appalachia. The region is very far out of 71 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,920 the Jaguars natural range, and in the winter much, much colder 72 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,320 than anywhere Jaguars are known to live. 73 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,520 And if the Appalachians cat is natural, it would almost have to 74 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,600 be a Jaguar. If scientists do not consider a 75 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,000 black phase of the Mountain Lion remotely probable, we got to get 76 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,440 this clear, there are no black mountain lions. 77 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,800 They've established this. So what are these things Are 78 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,520 they're not mountain lions? Highly unlikely that they could 79 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,320 be Jaguars, especially since we know the range of the Jaguars 80 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,640 and this is way too far north for that. 81 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,519 OK, although relying on explanations is not nearly as 82 00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:20,519 intriguing as taking the cryptozoological approach, there 83 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:23,400 are a number of factors that can attempt to account for big black 84 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,000 cat sightings in the NE 1st off. Some sightings have been 85 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,200 officially deemed hoaxes. Well, that's an appeal to 86 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,200 authority. Just because someone says it's a 87 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,680 hoax doesn't mean that you know they've proven that it's a hoax. 88 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,440 Others have been cases of mistaken identity where Black 89 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,520 House cast looked larger at great distance. 90 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,560 I'm not sure why something looks larger at a great distance to 91 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,440 me. Things look smaller at a great 92 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,240 distance, but that's just me. The third probably most likely 93 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,760 explanation of a credible report would be a sighting of an 94 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,720 escaped Jaguar or leopard from a zoo. 95 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,440 I have to disagree with this. I mean, most likely just stop 96 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,960 for a minute and think about how many zoos are near you. 97 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,200 Think about how many of those zoos have animals like Jaguars, 98 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,080 leopards in there, and think about how many escapes have had 99 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,120 in the last, oh, I don't know, 10 or 20 years. 100 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,040 If one of these things escapes from a zoo, which hardly ever 101 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,120 happens, maybe from like one of these places where they're 102 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,280 having like a sideshow for animals or something, that could 103 00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:24,960 happen. But if it does happen, it's a 104 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,440 big deal because these are very dangerous animals. 105 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,920 So I don't see this as an everyday occurrence. 106 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,600 It goes on and says however, an actual black cat could also be 107 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,520 the offspring of zoo escapees, which maintains that the animals 108 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,240 are actually surviving an area on there. 109 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,880 That's another straw man argument to me. 110 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,800 I just don't see any evidence at all. 111 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,840 Zero evidence that I see that a Jaguar has escaped from a zoo, 112 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,040 gone out there and reproduced somehow. 113 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,800 Reproduced with what? Many people like to believe that 114 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,160 such strange and notable creatures can exist so far to 115 00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,680 place. But as with most cryptids, 116 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,400 scientists deem their existence unlikely. 117 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,320 Well, look, we're not going to follow the science on this one. 118 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,720 We're just talking about different possibilities, OK? 119 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,760 However, there are a number of theorists that account for 120 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,520 science of crypto black Panthers in Appalachia. 121 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,160 Yeah, they're all they're not just in Appalachia, by the way. 122 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,960 These things are reported all over the place, all throughout 123 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,560 North America. The UK has got a bunch of them. 124 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,320 Something really weird is going on. 125 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,840 Now let's take a look at this next account of these Black 126 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,880 Panther sightings. This first account comes to us 127 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,320 from Reddit. Did a little bit of editing on 128 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,880 it. The user's name's Old Lost Boy. 129 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,920 You can find links to all this stuff at the Buy Me a Coffee and 130 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,840 the Co Fight website. It says this was back around the 131 00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:44,040 turn of the century Loli was hunting with my dad out on Fort 132 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,080 Sill in the Wichita Mountains in southeast Oklahoma. 133 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:48,800 He talks about that a little bit. 134 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,840 Then he says there are deer El coyote and Turkey that you can 135 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:55,400 hunt as well as lots of streams, ponds and man made lakes in the 136 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,280 vicinity. And then he says we were on the 137 00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:01,960 West Quanta range, a more remote section that's closer to the 138 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,680 cash Oklahoma area and the Falcon range. 139 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,120 I think we drew a zone to hunt whitetails, antlers, I think 140 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,440 that time on their fringes of post and it was a shotguns only 141 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,360 part of the season area. We both had two and a half by 142 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,960 three power short scopes on the pump action, 12 gauges with 143 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,640 which we observed the animal for about a minute or two until it 144 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,560 was out of sight walking away from us. 145 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,960 I'm not sure about the distance, maybe 200 to 300 yards I'm 146 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,120 guessing a long time ago. At first we thought it was a 147 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,400 bobcat, but then realized it had a huge tail and was a lot longer 148 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,800 in general. We couldn't believe our eyes and 149 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,560 also noticed it was black or possibly dark chocolate. 150 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,680 Brown if not Gray. Black. 151 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,320 It stood out on the tall grass and red soil, hence a Black 152 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,280 Panther. We both realized it was likely a 153 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,240 big old Mountain Lion, but very, very dark. 154 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,760 I have to tell you, it was not a Mountain Lion. 155 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,280 Mountain lions are not that dark. 156 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,600 We both realized it was a big old Mountain Lion. 157 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,400 Very, very dark. My father had seen several 158 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,920 Cougars in California some years before, but never dark. 159 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,120 It wasn't like seeing a UFO or Bigfoot, but it was exciting and 160 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,120 strange to say the least. Well, I hate to tell you, but it 161 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,480 was exactly like seeing a UFO or Bigfoot because this is an 162 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,480 unexplained creature. Mountain lions aren't dark. 163 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,680 They're not black. They're not Gray. 164 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,080 Black, okay, they're a light tan color. 165 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,680 But it just kind of goes to show you and people see these weird 166 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,000 things and the normalcy bias is so ingrained into people, it 167 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,000 just seems like it's not possible for them to consider 168 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,320 that, wow, this could actually be a crypted. 169 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,000 Now there's a couple of articles on this recent sighting out of 170 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,440 Texas where a guy took a picture of this Panther really neat 171 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,200 looking. Like I said, you could find 172 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,280 these at the buy me coffee and Kofi website. 173 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,400 Thanks to everybody that supports the program over there. 174 00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:53,360 This article comes to us from msn.com. 175 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,120 Kind of give you the bias of the mainstream media. 176 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,400 It says Black Panthers in Texas expert debunks recent sightings 177 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,960 story by Ariana Garcia. So right off the bat they 178 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,960 question the eyewitness and they make an appeal to authority, 179 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,440 telling you that the expert has debunked this. 180 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,440 So you know, if I'm looking at this, I'm thinking what's the 181 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,440 point of even reading this article other than to confirm a 182 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,840 bias I already have Anyway, typically a great reporting from 183 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,160 these guys. They give us the they give us a 184 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,160 time. Tuesday, 4:00 PM, but no date. 185 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,040 Can't find a date anywhere in this article. 186 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,800 I guess it's not important. The Texas Parks and Wildlife 187 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,560 Department has shut down any speculation that what appeared 188 00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:36,800 to be a large Wildcat spotted in Huntsville in Texas over the 189 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,120 weekend was Black Panther. In an e-mail statement on 190 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,480 Tuesday, a wildlife expert with TPWD said there's no such thing 191 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,360 as a black Mountain Lion, noting that the Puma can call. 192 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,280 Our species has many different common names, including Puma, 193 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,120 cougar or Panther. So right off the bat they say, 194 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,640 well, they just shut it down. I don't know. 195 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,520 I guess the last time I checked we still had a First Amendment 196 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,600 in this country. We were allowed to talk about 197 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,640 this stuff. Or are we not allowed to talk 198 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,160 about UFOs and cryptids anymore? Apparently not. 199 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,320 Not according to msn.com goes on. 200 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,560 It says, however, there can be melanistic Jaguars. 201 00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:15,120 That just means with Jaguars and lepers they can be black and 202 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,600 just the first black. It's not brown or not spotted. 203 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,840 That's what the Panther is to note. 204 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,440 There can also be melanistic Bobcats. 205 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,120 Now that's possible, I'm sure, but I've never seen one Jaguar. 206 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,200 Lindas, like Jaguars, have not been confirmed in Texas for many 207 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,760 decades. Now we're talking about the 208 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,720 Jaguars in Texas. Earlier, you know, this guy 209 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,600 mentioned that, hey, they're in the southern part of Texas. 210 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,840 Boston, while they're saying here we haven't seen a Jaguar in 211 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,080 Texas since 1948, I mean these things have to have a lot of a 212 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,440 lot of real estate to hunt in. Goes on. 213 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,760 It says a Texas man snapped a photo over the weekend of what 214 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,720 he believes to be a Black Panther near his home. 215 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,040 Walker County resident Gerald Hall said he found the large 216 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,240 black Wildcat working on his property in Huntsville, located 217 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,600 about 70 miles north of Houston, on Saturday. 218 00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:03,640 The photo shows what appears to be a dark colored feline bigger 219 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,240 than a house cat with a long tail. 220 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,880 The photo was taken from around 120 to 150 yards away, Hall 221 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,080 said. He estimates a cat must have 222 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,760 been between 80 and 100 lbs. Growing up. 223 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,240 I've heard screams like a lady before, but typically those who 224 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,400 are Bobcats or lynx, Hall said, adding it's not his first time 225 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,920 spotting such a creature in area. 226 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,080 He claims to have previously seen a Black Panther nine years 227 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,400 ago, though not as big, chasing a herd of feral hogs. 228 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,520 Of course, without a picture, it's just a myth, so we're 229 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,880 fortunate enough to capture it on camera this time, Hall said. 230 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,560 Per the National Wildlife Federation, Black Panthers are 231 00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:42,680 not a real species and actually refer to melanistic leopards or 232 00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:45,880 Jaguars. In an e-mail, the Texas Parks 233 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,280 and Wildlife Department said it is working to identify the 234 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,120 animal Hall captured in the photo. 235 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,080 Yes, I'm sure they'll have that thing identified right after 236 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,360 they saw the cattle mutilations in that state. 237 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,160 The state agency also stated that the that contrary to 238 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,680 popular belief, black Panthers don't exist in North America. 239 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,440 Mountain lions are also called Cougars, boomers, Panthers, 240 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,640 painters and catamounts, reads ATPWD website. 241 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,160 No one has ever captured or killed a Black Mountain Lion. 242 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,200 Yes, we know this and we're not claiming that that's what this 243 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,840 thing is. This thing obviously to me is 244 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:26,560 some sort of Cryptid, some sort of unexplained creature, maybe 245 00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:30,120 even a non human entity. And we have to ask, are these 246 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,680 things associated with all of this UFO traffic we have going 247 00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:36,680 on? Some local reports suggest that 248 00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:39,400 these mysterious creatures might actually be Jagarindi's 249 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,880 endangered felines, slightly larger than a domestic cat found 250 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,200 in northern Mexico and central South America, weighing between 251 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,040 8 and 16 lbs. Well, the guy told you that 252 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,520 thing looked to him like it weighed between 80 and 100 lbs. 253 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,200 That's a long way from 16 lbs. Well, from what I can see about 254 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,480 these things is that clearly it's just like with the with the 255 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,160 Bigfoot phenomena, you have what looks like a biological creature 256 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,520 running around, but when you dig into it, there's no evidence of 257 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,160 the actual creature. As I mean, I won't say no 258 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,760 evidence. There's little evidence physical 259 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,800 other than tracks and hair in this, but it's it's it comes and 260 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,520 goes. It looks like there's evidence 261 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,160 of something that materializes into this. 262 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,120 What appears to be a biological form even acts like a biological 263 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,160 life form. I mean it's eating, it's 264 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,080 hunting, it's scavenging, but then if it if it gets shot or 265 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,160 attacked by people, it doesn't react like a person would if 266 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,600 they were shot or attacked. I mean we hear about these 267 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,040 things taking gunshots. We hear about these things 268 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,200 running through the woods at at high speeds and seem to be 269 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,680 impervious to the, you know, the tree branches smashing them in 270 00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,560 the face. It's almost like they're going 271 00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:59,680 through the place. There's some sort of phenomena 272 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:02,200 going on with these things are phasing in and out of our 273 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,120 reality. That's what it looks like to me. 274 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,960 Now I want to take a look at another article talking about 275 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,240 what this guy in Texas saw and kind of what his opinion is. 276 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,000 This is from usatoday.com. It says Texas man's photo Black 277 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,200 Panther creates buzz. Wildlife experts say it's not 278 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,720 possible. This is written by Saman Shafiq, 279 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,360 USA TODAY, dated December 20th, 2023. 280 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,880 So at least we have a date on this thing. 281 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,520 It says Panthers in Texas question mark One local man in 282 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,680 Huntsville says it's true. Cheryl Hall, who lives in the 283 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,840 city about 75, about 70 miles north of Houston, snapped a 284 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,000 photo that has prompted a barrage of questions on social 285 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,160 media and follow up articles in national news outlets. 286 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,000 The grainy photo, posted to Facebook on Saturday, appears to 287 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,440 show a dark colored feline that's larger than a house cat 288 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,560 and has a long tail. Look, this thing is way bigger 289 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,000 than a house cat. 80 to 100 lbs is bigger than the house cat. 290 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,640 Believe me. Well we have officially spotted 291 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,600 the Panther on our property. How? 292 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,800 Hall wrote on the Post. While Hall did not immediately 293 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,720 respond to USA Today's request for a comment, On Wednesday, he 294 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,800 told the Houston Chronicle that the photo was taken from around 295 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,000 120 to 150 yards away, and that he estimates the animal to be 296 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000 between 80 and 100 lbs. Quote growing up. 297 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,040 I've heard screams like a lady before, but typically those are 298 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,280 bobcat or lynx, Hall told the newspaper, adding that he 299 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,480 previously saw a Black Panther nine years ago chasing a herd of 300 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,720 feral hogs. Look, this guy knows the 301 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,760 difference between a bobcat and a Panther, Okay. 302 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,720 Wildlife officials say there's no such thing as a black 303 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,680 Mountain Lion. Well, I think we've pretty well 304 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,360 established that. And I don't think that this guy 305 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,560 is claiming that this thing is a black Mountain Lion. 306 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,680 Just saying this large black, this large black cat. 307 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,760 We call it a Black Panther because that's what it looks 308 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:54,880 like. It says. 309 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,680 The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is debunking Hall's 310 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,280 claim, saying that there is no such thing as a black Mountain 311 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,360 Lion, officially known as a Puma con color species. 312 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,680 The species has many different names, including Puma, cougar or 313 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,160 Panther, and they go into that whole thing again. 314 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:14,560 Look, just because the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 315 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,640 says there's no such thing doesn't mean this guy didn't 316 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,960 take a picture of this thing, OK, they're creating a straw man 317 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,720 argument. They're the straw man. 318 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,440 Here, of course, is the black cougar, which we all know 319 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,200 doesn't exist. This guy is not saying this is a 320 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,120 black cougar. He's saying this is a large 321 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,720 black cat. It looks like a Black Panther. 322 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,720 So that's what I'm calling it. And this guy is he just simply 323 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,080 took a picture of this large black feline that looks like a 324 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,920 Black Panther in his backyard. Thing weighs 100 lbs, he says. 325 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,680 And what's he get from the media? 326 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,600 What does he get from the Texas Wildlife Department? 327 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,160 Well, he's debunked. I got a call off the experts. 328 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,960 Tell this guy that he doesn't know what he saw. 329 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,400 Well, the pictures right there. The pictures right there. 330 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,760 And you have to ask yourself, why are we getting so much 331 00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:08,800 blowback on this? If this if there's not something 332 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,400 actually there, why would they even care? 333 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,440 Even even when trying to do research for this subject, it 334 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,920 just seemed like there was such a complete dearth of information 335 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,520 that you could find anywhere on this stuff. 336 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,800 It's almost like it's almost like, you know what they say 337 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,119 when you're over the target, that's when you get the Flack. 338 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,800 So when you get this much Flack on something, you have to 339 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,440 wonder, what are they hiding? What are they concealing? 340 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:39,560 I think so often in this UFO field we overlook some of these 341 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,160 hot point buttons, whether it's the cattle mutilations or the 342 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,280 abductions or the implants. These cryptids seem to be one of 343 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,720 those hot point issues that the mainline media really knows how 344 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:55,000 to bring up. The bring up the ranks and just 345 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,560 go on an all out of salt on any eyewitness that comes forward. 346 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,320 Now there's another one here we'll finish up next Article 347 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,000 comes from singular14.com. It says Australian man captures 348 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,600 Black Panther quote UN quote on camera at Mornington, 349 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,000 Pennsylvania. Written by Tobias and Emily 350 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,720 Whelan dated February 1st of 2021. 351 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,960 It's got a picture here, this large feline kind of escaping 352 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,960 into this tall field of grass. You can't really see the head, 353 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,800 but the tail looks definitely feline to me. 354 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,560 This is a stray man. Michael Kors, 36, said. 355 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,120 He and his 11 year old son were walking through to Garuk 356 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,280 Wetlands, southeast of Melbourne on Victoria's Mornington 357 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,440 Peninsula last January 14th when they spotted an anomalous big 358 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,040 cat. Core said he was able to take a 359 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,120 photo of the black animal with his phone just before it 360 00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:43,840 wandered away into the nearby reeds. 361 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,280 I just thought it was the biggest cat I've ever seen and 362 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,000 it was just crossing the tracks as if it was stalking something 363 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,240 corset. My son ran in the other 364 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,200 direction. We've been down there before and 365 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,400 heard things rustling in the reeds, but never seen something 366 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,520 like this. Well, I guess I could definitely 367 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,440 see why his kid headed off into the other direction taking a 368 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,560 look at this thing, because it doesn't look like a house cat to 369 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,800 me. After sharing the photograph on 370 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,880 social media, of course. Said his inbox was flooded with 371 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,600 messages from people who claim to have seen Black Panthers in 372 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,240 the same area. But many others who viewed the 373 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,760 picture online were skeptical, dismissing it as either a large 374 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,520 feral cat or a misidentified dog, possibly a black lab. 375 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,720 As for court, he said that the animal he saw definitely had the 376 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,280 head of a cat and moved like a feline, and that there was no 377 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,640 way he had misidentified a dog. I know feral cats get big, but I 378 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,760 possibly, but it possibly could have been something else as 379 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,560 there are stories that go way back about Panthers in the 380 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,080 world, in Australia, left from the traveling circus and also 381 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,840 from the World War and also from World War Two, he said. 382 00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:50,240 My son is spitting out he's doing research about Panthers, 383 00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:52,560 he's fascinated and a bit scared to his head. 384 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,960 Core controversy surrounding the existence of crypted big cats in 385 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,120 Australia has existed for over a century, with some believing 386 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,080 that witnesses are misidentifying feral house cats 387 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,600 where others think. The sightings could be explained 388 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,360 by escaped exotic pets or even undiscovered species of big cat 389 00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:11,280 native to Australia. The sightings are taking 390 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,800 seriously enough that in 2023 a NSW state government inquiry 391 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,560 found it more likely than not that a colony of big cats exist 392 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,480 in the wilderness outside of Sydney. 393 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,560 NSW borders Victoria to the north, and the states share a 394 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,360 substantial amount of overlapping wilderness. 395 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,560 That's pretty well that the State Department thinks that 396 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,760 there's some sort of undiscovered colony of big cats 397 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,040 out there. It's the same sort of argument 398 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,320 we hear about Bigfoot people thinking that there's this 399 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,600 undiscovered population of Bigfoot, you know, roaming 400 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,000 around in the deep forest. It's kind of a romantic idea 401 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,920 maybe, I suppose, but to me the physical evidence is much more 402 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,920 explained by these things I think phasing in and out of our 403 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,880 reality. This last article I want to look 404 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,760 at comes to us from ktalnews.com. 405 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,320 It Says Mysterious Black Panther Sightings Puzzle Repeats Parish 406 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,640 residents, and I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing that it's written 407 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:18,840 by Kelvin Spears, dated October 10th, 2023, Alexandria, LA. 408 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,960 In recent weeks, a sense of mystery has descended upon the 409 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,200 residence of Repeats Parish as reports of a possible Black 410 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,600 Panther roaming near the levee banks of Lower 3rd St. have 411 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,000 circulated through the community. 412 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,000 Locals claim to have seen and heard what they believe is a 413 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,880 majestic Black Panther, breaking both intrigue and speculation. 414 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,480 Wow, so that's right down there. It sounds like in the in the 415 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,880 community, just just just walking around 1 Eyewitness Ken 416 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,920 Lee recounted A startling encounter, saying we were in a 417 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,760 tent and heard something that sounded like a baby crying at 418 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,960 1st, and then the sound turned to something else. 419 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,240 I saw a big black cat and I knew to mind my business from over 420 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,080 there. Lee described the creature as 421 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,040 being the size of an animal one might expect to find in a zoo, 422 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,000 leaving a lasting impression on those who heard his account. 423 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,680 Now it's got some pictures here. Man, this is 1 massive cat paw 424 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,920 print. I would not want to run in to 425 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:22,640 this Kitty cat in a dark alley, or anywhere for that matter, it 426 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,920 says. Photographs of large paw prints 427 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,760 discovered beside a size of 13 sandal have surfaced, deepening 428 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,920 the intrigue surrounding the sightings. 429 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,400 While some locals believe these prints are compelling evidence 430 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,240 of a large catch presence, others are quick to point out 431 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,160 that a cougar with a genetic mutation causing black fur could 432 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,000 also be a plausible explanation. So, as we learned before, 433 00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:48,800 Cougars just don't have that genetic mutation, so that really 434 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,320 is not an option. One resident speculated it's 435 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,880 possible there's a cougar making its rounds with a genetic 436 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,680 mutation because it's what that causes is for to be black or a 437 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,640 really dark brown, which certainly gives more weight to 438 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,840 the sighting. Now, again, absolutely not true. 439 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,480 They've established that these things do not have a mutation 440 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,680 which makes them black. Totally different species. 441 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,560 However, skepticism remains among some community members who 442 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,240 attribute the sightings to misidentifications in the late 443 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,520 night hours. Yeah, I don't know. 444 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,640 I don't. I don't know how you misidentify 445 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,120 this paw. I mean, this thing is enormous. 446 00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:25,440 It's, it's it's it's wider. Wider than this guy's 13 size, 447 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,320 size 13 shoe. I mean, it's it's real big. 448 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,360 You know where you got the a paw print of a of a kitten or a cat 449 00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:36,160 maybe the size of 1/4 or a half dollar. 450 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:41,400 This thing is the size of a of a of a of a large saucer, a small 451 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,040 dinner plate. I mean, it's enormous, however 452 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,800 mountain, and it's also deep. You can tell whatever made this 453 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,880 print, it has some weight to it. However, skepticism remains 454 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,600 among community members. Then it goes on here, it says. 455 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,960 While these sightings have sparked curiosity, safety 456 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,480 remains a top priority for both residents and wildlife 457 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,720 enthusiasts. As the discussions about the 458 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,240 mysterious creature persist, Rapides Parish finds itself at 459 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,720 the center of an intriguing wildlife mystery, leaving 460 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,360 residents wondering, is there truly a Black Panther pelling 461 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:09,720 the levees, or is it simply a trick of the night? 462 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,600 The community remains vigilant, keeping a watchful eye on the 463 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,800 darkened banks of Lower 3rd St. hoping to catch a glimpse of the 464 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,680 intimate creature that has captured their imaginations. 465 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,440 You can talk all day about whether or not these people saw 466 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,760 it, but here's the print here is the paw print right here. 467 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,120 And of course, just like with all these things, when they do 468 00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:33,000 come up with the evidence, like with this here clear, clear 469 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,920 print of a feline of a large of a large cat, they put up the 470 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,360 straw man argument. People say, well, I saw a Black 471 00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:40,200 Panther. Well, it can't be a Mountain 472 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,560 Lion because mountain lions aren't black. 473 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,040 Yeah, we know that. We're not saying we saw a black 474 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,880 Mountain Lion. We're saying we saw a Black 475 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,320 Panther. And they'll argue back and forth 476 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,160 about what you saw, how big it was, how the, the, the picture 477 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,480 can't be trusted, blah blah blah. 478 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,440 And then even when they come up with prints from paw prints from 479 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,120 the animal at the sighting, there's zero investigation. 480 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,360 It's like they don't want to find out. 481 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,520 So they're hiding by omission. Why? 482 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,760 Why are they hiding this stuff? By admission, why they're 483 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,600 refusing to investigate. They're doing the same thing 484 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,040 with these crypto sightings. The authorities are, as they do 485 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,400 with the cattle emulations, They just create straw man arguments, 486 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,560 you know, whether it's the Satanic cow tippers, whether 487 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,400 it's somebody from in town, college kids, you know, doing 488 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:32,360 these cows, whether it's a quasi government conspiracy with black 489 00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:37,640 helicopters that nobody can talk about or whether it's just, you 490 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,320 know, resident wildlife that's attacking these things. 491 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,880 They make up some kind of crazy excuse. 492 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,680 They won't look at the evidence. They never come up with an 493 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,360 explanation. These Black Panther settings 494 00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:50,280 have been happening for decades and decades. 495 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:55,280 We've never had a resolution to this the same way we've never 496 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,680 had resolution to Bigfoot the same way we've never had 497 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,160 resolution to the cattle relations. 498 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,000 But these things all have one thing in common and that is they 499 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,200 are frequently associated with this whole notion of cryptids, 500 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,960 non human entities and UFOs. Until next time, this is UFO 501 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:09,840 Warning Over now.
