Police hunt live dinosaur on volcanic island

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

They told us it was a dinosaur, the government official told the press.

Dinosaurs…sensational stories have popped up about them throughout the centuries. Ancient cultures have mystical legends about them. Archaic religious ceremonies once were crafted to worship them and the Mesoamericans thought them gods. The Europeans and Chinese named them dragons.

Dinosaurs probably still roam our world…but don’t ask any paleontologists. They don’t want to hear the eyewitness reports; they turn a blind eye to tracks of giant creatures made not millions of years ago, but sometimes only a few years ago.

Several places in the world are considered to be dinosaur “hot spots” among them central Africa and Papua New Guinea (PNG).

Eyewitness testimony of dinosaur sightings have been related to the Western world since the days when European explorers first set foot on what later became known as PNG. When the Christian missionaries trickled into the forbidding nether regions of the jungle reports of strange dinosaur-like creatures began filtering back to the newspapers of Europe and America.

Headhunters, cannibals and dinosaurs

PNG is a savage, almost prehistoric place. The peoples that inhabit the island are steeped in traditions that are warlike and bloodthirsty. Officially, headhunting came to an end sometime during the 1930s. Unofficially, some government authorities believe it still is practiced.

Cannibalism too, flourished. And the meat of the “long pig” was greatly relished by certain tribes–especially those that seemed caught in a time warp of Stone Age existence. Life expectancy wasn’t much beyond 35 and a person who reached 50 was considered a relic. Children as young as 10 would marry and have other children. Many of them were dead before turning 20 years old. They died from disease, the dangerous wildlife or the seemingly endless tribal warfare.

Species of new life are discovered on PNG regularly. There are many places for animals of any size to hide and a naturalist once remarked that a division of armored tanks could be hidden within parts of the PNG rainforest and a passerby would never spot the–even if only 20 feet away.

In such wild, unknown territory, is it really so impossible that some vestiges of a race thought long dead might actually have survived the travails of time? A race like the dinosaurs, perhaps?

And why not? Could not some dinosaurs have survived the cataclysms that rocked the misty past. Science has now documented the turmoil, the upheavals, the disasters that plagued this planet over the eons.

Is it really so impossible that some dinosaurs may have weathered the catastrophes that befell the planet?

No, it’s not impossible.

Researchers have some sparse evidence that tiny communities of Wooly Mammoths may have survived as late as the days of the Vikings. Amerindians and the Inuit speak of the giant, hairy beasts that were spotted wandering some of the shores of the icy Aleutian Islands near the Bearing Strait only 800 years ago.

Reports of Pteradons have surfaced through the years from PNG and some of its outlying islands. Although dismissed as Frigate birds, the creatures have been video recorded at night and emit a luminescent glow. Frigate birds are not nocturnal and have never been reported to have a bio-luminescent glow.

Yes, it’s good to be a skeptic, but not to the point where one becomes a knee-jerk debunker.

Several years ago, a truly amazing dinosaur incident occurred in the volcanically active region of PNG . Near the earthquake damaged village of Rabaul, just several miles south of the provincial capital of Kokopo, terrified villagers reported being attacked by a giant, unknown creature. Authorities, hearing the detailed and vivid descriptions recognized it as a dinosaur sighting and immediately dispatched a heavily-armed police unit to track down the beast.

According to the account published by the Australian newspaper, The Sydney Morning Herald, villagers from the province of East New Britain fled terror-stricken after encountering a 10-foot tall creature that was grey, had a head shaped like a dog, and a long tail like a crocodile.

The shaken natives told the police the creature seemed to be inhabiting a dense marsh near the capital.

They told us it was a dinosaur

An unidentified government official confirmed to the paper that a 6-man police unit armed with shotguns and M-16 automatic rifles responded to the call. After thoroughly searching the area for several hours with the assistance of villagers carrying machetes, they found no trace of the creature.

None of the policemen, however, were willing to search for the monster amongst the thick foliage, twisted vines and mosquito infested swamp where several of the eyewitnesses insisted the creature fled after the startling encounter.

Kokopo’s Mayor Albert Buanga reportedly stated during the hunt that if the dinosaur existed, it would make a great a tourist attraction.

The Australian newspaper was able to obtain eyewitness testimony of the creature from reporters at a PNG newspaper.

The witness, Christine Samei, told PNG reporters she ran for her life after seeing a 10-feet tall, grey creature with a head like a dog and a tail like a crocodile. She described the animal as being as big as a 900-liter [278 gallon] water tank.

That’s pretty big.
 
“It’s a very huge and ugly looking animal,” Samei told the local media.
