<title>UFO falls from the sky - East Siberia</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Russian officials said an unidentified flying object fell out of the sky and burned on impact Friday in the taiga of East Siberia, the news agency Interfax reported.   <br /><br />Law enforcement authorities in the Krasnoyarsk region told Interfax residents had reported seeing a "flying apparatus" plunge from the sky at about 10 a.m.   <br /><br />Residents of the remote area, some 260 kilometres north of the regional capital of Krasnoyarsk, said the surrounding area had been charred, showing signs of a fire.   <br /><br />Authorities, however, said they had been unable to reach the scene due to inclement weather conditions.   <br /><br />"Investigators and transport officials are now being sent from Krasnoyarsk to establish the reasons behind the crash," a police official said.   <br /><br />Regional authorities have not speculated about what the object might have been, but they noted a helicopter had flown over the scene and that its crew had not seen any traces of fire.   <br /><br />The vast Siberian taiga, an area of boundless forest, famously played host to an explosion known as the "Tunguska event" in June 1908 after an object, now thought to be an asteroid or comet, slammed into a remote area north of Lake Baikal.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/863014">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Growling Chupacabra vs Screaming Raccoon</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        OK, this is serious!  Walking around along Sumner St last night, around 11 or 12, listening to a podcast. I hear such a loud screaming sound that I take off my headphones and am standing directly in front of the tree pictured here. Some kind of feral brutality was going down.  One growling, snorting, snarling, deep, nightmarishly terrifying beast could be heard high up in the tree shaking around a terrified, squealing, shrieking, screaming animal for a duration of no less than 2 minutes.  Neighborhood dogs started barking at the noise, but no humans came to investigate. Then what had previously only been auditory exposure, changed. I saw the branches at the very top of this tree bend out, and the treetop began to shake violently. At first I thought the aggressor must be a raccoon, but the size of the disruption was more along the lines of what you'd expect from something almost human in scale. It was huge, it was wild.  

Then the screaming stopped.

Then I heard the monster descending very rapidly within the branches of this very tall tree, and started to consider what would happen if a bloody predator, of any size, came barging over the fence and towards me.

The dogs were still barking. I noticed there were a lot of dogs, behind a lot of tall fences.  In fact every house on the block was actively protecting itself from the threat of invasion.  Could this monster be a known phenomena? Known yet suppressed? After all, not a single person came to see what the noise was, what all the noise was about.  Had they learned their lesson the hard way? Should this beast be ignored?  Should I not have stopped? <br/>Tags: tree, death, scary, sound, blood, wild animals, raccoon, sumner, beast, feral death, city animals, chupacabra, urban predators, carnage<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/3773295">Map this on Platial</a><br />
