Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about black Panthers and UFOs.
That's correct, Black Panthers and UFOs.
Specifically. We're asking are these Black
Panther sightings related to some kind of crypted sightings?
You know, we talk about Bigfoot being related to UFOs, how a lot
of us think that these things are actually some kind of a non
human entity, some some kind of Cryptid possibly.
And this is what we're looking at with these black Panthers
because it seems, at least in my opinion, hard to imagine that we
would have this whole population of black Panthers roaming places
everywhere from North America to the UK without really being
spotted. It's kind of the same thing with
Bigfoot and we there's one or two ways to look at that.
Either these things are some sort of biological creatures
that are out there that we're just overlooking, or perhaps I
think more likely there's some sort of non human entity, some
kind of Cryptid that's phasing in and out of our reality.
Maybe they take on a biologic shape or form and then they're
gone. Now this first article that
we're looking to comes from animalian.com.
It says Black Panther. It says cryptids sightings of
big Black Cats are often reported.
It's written by Jake Carter, dated July 7th, 2019 under
cryptids and monsters. It begins by saying although two
species of big cats are known to have a sizable populations of
blackface individuals, only one of these lives in the Americas
and not in the northeast. Reports of large Black Cats too
large to be house cats that seem to be that seem to resemble
black Panthers have been reportedly seen in the
Appalachian Mountains in the northeast United States.
These creatures have garnered the attention of
cryptozoologists, as biologists refuse to recognize the cats as
real in such parts of the country that sightings of big
Black Cats in the Appalachia are still reported every so often.
That is why some have come to see a black Panthers as
cryptids, according to New animal.com.
Well, the same thing that we run into with the Bigfoot.
Biologists refuse to recognize these things, but people keep
reporting them. When people think of popular
cryptids, eerie creatures like the Chupacabra and Bigfoot may
come to mind. But this animal, which is
certainly real elsewhere, fits the category because it is not
thought to inhabit the northeastern US, He goes on.
He says actual black Panthers, maybe leopards or Jaguars.
Both felines go through a stage where their fur turns black.
Leopards are native to Africa and Asia, and Jaguars are found
in Central and South America, and perhaps at times in the very
southern parts of the United States.
Of course, we'll see later that they haven't seen one down there
since the late 40s. The black phase in these cats is
simply a color variant, and it's fur.
There are two species of big cats in the Western Hemisphere,
which are the Jaguar and the Mountain Lion.
Although mountain lions have historically inhabited just
about all areas of the continental United States, as
well as much of Canada and almost all of Central and South
America, there has never been a single recorded black phase in a
cougar. Although Jaguars represent one
of the two big cats worldwide that come in black, the very
northern limit of their range is the extreme Southwest in the
United States. Furthermore, black Jaguars are
much more common in the southern parts of their range in the
Amazon Rainforest. Appalachian black Panthers are
revered by cryptics because biologists refuse to recognize
the possibility of their existence.
From Tennessee and West Virginia to the north, reports of Black
Panther sightings are somewhat frequent, although such possible
prey as deer and rodents as well as fish are available in
Appalachia. The region is very far out of
the Jaguars natural range, and in the winter much, much colder
than anywhere Jaguars are known to live.
And if the Appalachians cat is natural, it would almost have to
be a Jaguar. If scientists do not consider a
black phase of the Mountain Lion remotely probable, we got to get
this clear, there are no black mountain lions.
They've established this. So what are these things Are
they're not mountain lions? Highly unlikely that they could
be Jaguars, especially since we know the range of the Jaguars
and this is way too far north for that.
OK, although relying on explanations is not nearly as
intriguing as taking the cryptozoological approach, there
are a number of factors that can attempt to account for big black
cat sightings in the NE 1st off. Some sightings have been
officially deemed hoaxes. Well, that's an appeal to
authority. Just because someone says it's a
hoax doesn't mean that you know they've proven that it's a hoax.
Others have been cases of mistaken identity where Black
House cast looked larger at great distance.
I'm not sure why something looks larger at a great distance to
me. Things look smaller at a great
distance, but that's just me. The third probably most likely
explanation of a credible report would be a sighting of an
escaped Jaguar or leopard from a zoo.
I have to disagree with this. I mean, most likely just stop
for a minute and think about how many zoos are near you.
Think about how many of those zoos have animals like Jaguars,
leopards in there, and think about how many escapes have had
in the last, oh, I don't know, 10 or 20 years.
If one of these things escapes from a zoo, which hardly ever
happens, maybe from like one of these places where they're
having like a sideshow for animals or something, that could
happen. But if it does happen, it's a
big deal because these are very dangerous animals.
So I don't see this as an everyday occurrence.
It goes on and says however, an actual black cat could also be
the offspring of zoo escapees, which maintains that the animals
are actually surviving an area on there.
That's another straw man argument to me.
I just don't see any evidence at all.
Zero evidence that I see that a Jaguar has escaped from a zoo,
gone out there and reproduced somehow.
Reproduced with what? Many people like to believe that
such strange and notable creatures can exist so far to
place. But as with most cryptids,
scientists deem their existence unlikely.
Well, look, we're not going to follow the science on this one.
We're just talking about different possibilities, OK?
However, there are a number of theorists that account for
science of crypto black Panthers in Appalachia.
Yeah, they're all they're not just in Appalachia, by the way.
These things are reported all over the place, all throughout
North America. The UK has got a bunch of them.
Something really weird is going on.
Now let's take a look at this next account of these Black
Panther sightings. This first account comes to us
from Reddit. Did a little bit of editing on
it. The user's name's Old Lost Boy.
You can find links to all this stuff at the Buy Me a Coffee and
the Co Fight website. It says this was back around the
turn of the century Loli was hunting with my dad out on Fort
Sill in the Wichita Mountains in southeast Oklahoma.
He talks about that a little bit.
Then he says there are deer El coyote and Turkey that you can
hunt as well as lots of streams, ponds and man made lakes in the
vicinity. And then he says we were on the
West Quanta range, a more remote section that's closer to the
cash Oklahoma area and the Falcon range.
I think we drew a zone to hunt whitetails, antlers, I think
that time on their fringes of post and it was a shotguns only
part of the season area. We both had two and a half by
three power short scopes on the pump action, 12 gauges with
which we observed the animal for about a minute or two until it
was out of sight walking away from us.
I'm not sure about the distance, maybe 200 to 300 yards I'm
guessing a long time ago. At first we thought it was a
bobcat, but then realized it had a huge tail and was a lot longer
in general. We couldn't believe our eyes and
also noticed it was black or possibly dark chocolate.
Brown if not Gray. Black.
It stood out on the tall grass and red soil, hence a Black
Panther. We both realized it was likely a
big old Mountain Lion, but very, very dark.
I have to tell you, it was not a Mountain Lion.
Mountain lions are not that dark.
We both realized it was a big old Mountain Lion.
Very, very dark. My father had seen several
Cougars in California some years before, but never dark.
It wasn't like seeing a UFO or Bigfoot, but it was exciting and
strange to say the least. Well, I hate to tell you, but it
was exactly like seeing a UFO or Bigfoot because this is an
unexplained creature. Mountain lions aren't dark.
They're not black. They're not Gray.
Black, okay, they're a light tan color.
But it just kind of goes to show you and people see these weird
things and the normalcy bias is so ingrained into people, it
just seems like it's not possible for them to consider
that, wow, this could actually be a crypted.
Now there's a couple of articles on this recent sighting out of
Texas where a guy took a picture of this Panther really neat
looking. Like I said, you could find
these at the buy me coffee and Kofi website.
Thanks to everybody that supports the program over there.
This article comes to us from msn.com.
Kind of give you the bias of the mainstream media.
It says Black Panthers in Texas expert debunks recent sightings
story by Ariana Garcia. So right off the bat they
question the eyewitness and they make an appeal to authority,
telling you that the expert has debunked this.
So you know, if I'm looking at this, I'm thinking what's the
point of even reading this article other than to confirm a
bias I already have Anyway, typically a great reporting from
these guys. They give us the they give us a
time. Tuesday, 4:00 PM, but no date.
Can't find a date anywhere in this article.
I guess it's not important. The Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department has shut down any speculation that what appeared
to be a large Wildcat spotted in Huntsville in Texas over the
weekend was Black Panther. In an e-mail statement on
Tuesday, a wildlife expert with TPWD said there's no such thing
as a black Mountain Lion, noting that the Puma can call.
Our species has many different common names, including Puma,
cougar or Panther. So right off the bat they say,
well, they just shut it down. I don't know.
I guess the last time I checked we still had a First Amendment
in this country. We were allowed to talk about
this stuff. Or are we not allowed to talk
about UFOs and cryptids anymore? Apparently not.
Not according to msn.com goes on.
It says, however, there can be melanistic Jaguars.
That just means with Jaguars and lepers they can be black and
just the first black. It's not brown or not spotted.
That's what the Panther is to note.
There can also be melanistic Bobcats.
Now that's possible, I'm sure, but I've never seen one Jaguar.
Lindas, like Jaguars, have not been confirmed in Texas for many
decades. Now we're talking about the
Jaguars in Texas. Earlier, you know, this guy
mentioned that, hey, they're in the southern part of Texas.
Boston, while they're saying here we haven't seen a Jaguar in
Texas since 1948, I mean these things have to have a lot of a
lot of real estate to hunt in. Goes on.
It says a Texas man snapped a photo over the weekend of what
he believes to be a Black Panther near his home.
Walker County resident Gerald Hall said he found the large
black Wildcat working on his property in Huntsville, located
about 70 miles north of Houston, on Saturday.
The photo shows what appears to be a dark colored feline bigger
than a house cat with a long tail.
The photo was taken from around 120 to 150 yards away, Hall
said. He estimates a cat must have
been between 80 and 100 lbs. Growing up.
I've heard screams like a lady before, but typically those who
are Bobcats or lynx, Hall said, adding it's not his first time
spotting such a creature in area.
He claims to have previously seen a Black Panther nine years
ago, though not as big, chasing a herd of feral hogs.
Of course, without a picture, it's just a myth, so we're
fortunate enough to capture it on camera this time, Hall said.
Per the National Wildlife Federation, Black Panthers are
not a real species and actually refer to melanistic leopards or
Jaguars. In an e-mail, the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department said it is working to identify the
animal Hall captured in the photo.
Yes, I'm sure they'll have that thing identified right after
they saw the cattle mutilations in that state.
The state agency also stated that the that contrary to
popular belief, black Panthers don't exist in North America.
Mountain lions are also called Cougars, boomers, Panthers,
painters and catamounts, reads ATPWD website.
No one has ever captured or killed a Black Mountain Lion.
Yes, we know this and we're not claiming that that's what this
thing is. This thing obviously to me is
some sort of Cryptid, some sort of unexplained creature, maybe
even a non human entity. And we have to ask, are these
things associated with all of this UFO traffic we have going
on? Some local reports suggest that
these mysterious creatures might actually be Jagarindi's
endangered felines, slightly larger than a domestic cat found
in northern Mexico and central South America, weighing between
8 and 16 lbs. Well, the guy told you that
thing looked to him like it weighed between 80 and 100 lbs.
That's a long way from 16 lbs. Well, from what I can see about
these things is that clearly it's just like with the with the
Bigfoot phenomena, you have what looks like a biological creature
running around, but when you dig into it, there's no evidence of
the actual creature. As I mean, I won't say no
evidence. There's little evidence physical
other than tracks and hair in this, but it's it's it comes and
goes. It looks like there's evidence
of something that materializes into this.
What appears to be a biological form even acts like a biological
life form. I mean it's eating, it's
hunting, it's scavenging, but then if it if it gets shot or
attacked by people, it doesn't react like a person would if
they were shot or attacked. I mean we hear about these
things taking gunshots. We hear about these things
running through the woods at at high speeds and seem to be
impervious to the, you know, the tree branches smashing them in
the face. It's almost like they're going
through the place. There's some sort of phenomena
going on with these things are phasing in and out of our
reality. That's what it looks like to me.
Now I want to take a look at another article talking about
what this guy in Texas saw and kind of what his opinion is.
This is from usatoday.com. It says Texas man's photo Black
Panther creates buzz. Wildlife experts say it's not
possible. This is written by Saman Shafiq,
USA TODAY, dated December 20th, 2023.
So at least we have a date on this thing.
It says Panthers in Texas question mark One local man in
Huntsville says it's true. Cheryl Hall, who lives in the
city about 75, about 70 miles north of Houston, snapped a
photo that has prompted a barrage of questions on social
media and follow up articles in national news outlets.
The grainy photo, posted to Facebook on Saturday, appears to
show a dark colored feline that's larger than a house cat
and has a long tail. Look, this thing is way bigger
than a house cat. 80 to 100 lbs is bigger than the house cat.
Believe me. Well we have officially spotted
the Panther on our property. How?
Hall wrote on the Post. While Hall did not immediately
respond to USA Today's request for a comment, On Wednesday, he
told the Houston Chronicle that the photo was taken from around
120 to 150 yards away, and that he estimates the animal to be
between 80 and 100 lbs. Quote growing up.
I've heard screams like a lady before, but typically those are
bobcat or lynx, Hall told the newspaper, adding that he
previously saw a Black Panther nine years ago chasing a herd of
feral hogs. Look, this guy knows the
difference between a bobcat and a Panther, Okay.
Wildlife officials say there's no such thing as a black
Mountain Lion. Well, I think we've pretty well
established that. And I don't think that this guy
is claiming that this thing is a black Mountain Lion.
Just saying this large black, this large black cat.
We call it a Black Panther because that's what it looks
like. It says.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is debunking Hall's
claim, saying that there is no such thing as a black Mountain
Lion, officially known as a Puma con color species.
The species has many different names, including Puma, cougar or
Panther, and they go into that whole thing again.
Look, just because the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
says there's no such thing doesn't mean this guy didn't
take a picture of this thing, OK, they're creating a straw man
argument. They're the straw man.
Here, of course, is the black cougar, which we all know
doesn't exist. This guy is not saying this is a
black cougar. He's saying this is a large
black cat. It looks like a Black Panther.
So that's what I'm calling it. And this guy is he just simply
took a picture of this large black feline that looks like a
Black Panther in his backyard. Thing weighs 100 lbs, he says.
And what's he get from the media?
What does he get from the Texas Wildlife Department?
Well, he's debunked. I got a call off the experts.
Tell this guy that he doesn't know what he saw.
Well, the pictures right there. The pictures right there.
And you have to ask yourself, why are we getting so much
blowback on this? If this if there's not something
actually there, why would they even care?
Even even when trying to do research for this subject, it
just seemed like there was such a complete dearth of information
that you could find anywhere on this stuff.
It's almost like it's almost like, you know what they say
when you're over the target, that's when you get the Flack.
So when you get this much Flack on something, you have to
wonder, what are they hiding? What are they concealing?
I think so often in this UFO field we overlook some of these
hot point buttons, whether it's the cattle mutilations or the
abductions or the implants. These cryptids seem to be one of
those hot point issues that the mainline media really knows how
to bring up. The bring up the ranks and just
go on an all out of salt on any eyewitness that comes forward.
Now there's another one here we'll finish up next Article
comes from singular14.com. It says Australian man captures
Black Panther quote UN quote on camera at Mornington,
Pennsylvania. Written by Tobias and Emily
Whelan dated February 1st of 2021.
It's got a picture here, this large feline kind of escaping
into this tall field of grass. You can't really see the head,
but the tail looks definitely feline to me.
This is a stray man. Michael Kors, 36, said.
He and his 11 year old son were walking through to Garuk
Wetlands, southeast of Melbourne on Victoria's Mornington
Peninsula last January 14th when they spotted an anomalous big
cat. Core said he was able to take a
photo of the black animal with his phone just before it
wandered away into the nearby reeds.
I just thought it was the biggest cat I've ever seen and
it was just crossing the tracks as if it was stalking something
corset. My son ran in the other
direction. We've been down there before and
heard things rustling in the reeds, but never seen something
like this. Well, I guess I could definitely
see why his kid headed off into the other direction taking a
look at this thing, because it doesn't look like a house cat to
me. After sharing the photograph on
social media, of course. Said his inbox was flooded with
messages from people who claim to have seen Black Panthers in
the same area. But many others who viewed the
picture online were skeptical, dismissing it as either a large
feral cat or a misidentified dog, possibly a black lab.
As for court, he said that the animal he saw definitely had the
head of a cat and moved like a feline, and that there was no
way he had misidentified a dog. I know feral cats get big, but I
possibly, but it possibly could have been something else as
there are stories that go way back about Panthers in the
world, in Australia, left from the traveling circus and also
from the World War and also from World War Two, he said.
My son is spitting out he's doing research about Panthers,
he's fascinated and a bit scared to his head.
Core controversy surrounding the existence of crypted big cats in
Australia has existed for over a century, with some believing
that witnesses are misidentifying feral house cats
where others think. The sightings could be explained
by escaped exotic pets or even undiscovered species of big cat
native to Australia. The sightings are taking
seriously enough that in 2023 a NSW state government inquiry
found it more likely than not that a colony of big cats exist
in the wilderness outside of Sydney.
NSW borders Victoria to the north, and the states share a
substantial amount of overlapping wilderness.
That's pretty well that the State Department thinks that
there's some sort of undiscovered colony of big cats
out there. It's the same sort of argument
we hear about Bigfoot people thinking that there's this
undiscovered population of Bigfoot, you know, roaming
around in the deep forest. It's kind of a romantic idea
maybe, I suppose, but to me the physical evidence is much more
explained by these things I think phasing in and out of our
reality. This last article I want to look
at comes to us from ktalnews.com.
It Says Mysterious Black Panther Sightings Puzzle Repeats Parish
residents, and I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing that it's written
by Kelvin Spears, dated October 10th, 2023, Alexandria, LA.
In recent weeks, a sense of mystery has descended upon the
residence of Repeats Parish as reports of a possible Black
Panther roaming near the levee banks of Lower 3rd St. have
circulated through the community.
Locals claim to have seen and heard what they believe is a
majestic Black Panther, breaking both intrigue and speculation.
Wow, so that's right down there. It sounds like in the in the
community, just just just walking around 1 Eyewitness Ken
Lee recounted A startling encounter, saying we were in a
tent and heard something that sounded like a baby crying at
1st, and then the sound turned to something else.
I saw a big black cat and I knew to mind my business from over
there. Lee described the creature as
being the size of an animal one might expect to find in a zoo,
leaving a lasting impression on those who heard his account.
Now it's got some pictures here. Man, this is 1 massive cat paw
print. I would not want to run in to
this Kitty cat in a dark alley, or anywhere for that matter, it
says. Photographs of large paw prints
discovered beside a size of 13 sandal have surfaced, deepening
the intrigue surrounding the sightings.
While some locals believe these prints are compelling evidence
of a large catch presence, others are quick to point out
that a cougar with a genetic mutation causing black fur could
also be a plausible explanation. So, as we learned before,
Cougars just don't have that genetic mutation, so that really
is not an option. One resident speculated it's
possible there's a cougar making its rounds with a genetic
mutation because it's what that causes is for to be black or a
really dark brown, which certainly gives more weight to
the sighting. Now, again, absolutely not true.
They've established that these things do not have a mutation
which makes them black. Totally different species.
However, skepticism remains among some community members who
attribute the sightings to misidentifications in the late
night hours. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't. I don't know how you misidentify
this paw. I mean, this thing is enormous.
It's, it's it's it's wider. Wider than this guy's 13 size,
size 13 shoe. I mean, it's it's real big.
You know where you got the a paw print of a of a kitten or a cat
maybe the size of 1/4 or a half dollar.
This thing is the size of a of a of a of a large saucer, a small
dinner plate. I mean, it's enormous, however
mountain, and it's also deep. You can tell whatever made this
print, it has some weight to it. However, skepticism remains
among community members. Then it goes on here, it says.
While these sightings have sparked curiosity, safety
remains a top priority for both residents and wildlife
enthusiasts. As the discussions about the
mysterious creature persist, Rapides Parish finds itself at
the center of an intriguing wildlife mystery, leaving
residents wondering, is there truly a Black Panther pelling
the levees, or is it simply a trick of the night?
The community remains vigilant, keeping a watchful eye on the
darkened banks of Lower 3rd St. hoping to catch a glimpse of the
intimate creature that has captured their imaginations.
You can talk all day about whether or not these people saw
it, but here's the print here is the paw print right here.
And of course, just like with all these things, when they do
come up with the evidence, like with this here clear, clear
print of a feline of a large of a large cat, they put up the
straw man argument. People say, well, I saw a Black
Panther. Well, it can't be a Mountain
Lion because mountain lions aren't black.
Yeah, we know that. We're not saying we saw a black
Mountain Lion. We're saying we saw a Black
Panther. And they'll argue back and forth
about what you saw, how big it was, how the, the, the picture
can't be trusted, blah blah blah.
And then even when they come up with prints from paw prints from
the animal at the sighting, there's zero investigation.
It's like they don't want to find out.
So they're hiding by omission. Why?
Why are they hiding this stuff? By admission, why they're
refusing to investigate. They're doing the same thing
with these crypto sightings. The authorities are, as they do
with the cattle emulations, They just create straw man arguments,
you know, whether it's the Satanic cow tippers, whether
it's somebody from in town, college kids, you know, doing
these cows, whether it's a quasi government conspiracy with black
helicopters that nobody can talk about or whether it's just, you
know, resident wildlife that's attacking these things.
They make up some kind of crazy excuse.
They won't look at the evidence. They never come up with an
explanation. These Black Panther settings
have been happening for decades and decades.
We've never had a resolution to this the same way we've never
had resolution to Bigfoot the same way we've never had
resolution to the cattle relations.
But these things all have one thing in common and that is they
are frequently associated with this whole notion of cryptids,
non human entities and UFOs. Until next time, this is UFO
Warning Over now.
