Thousands of THYLACINE Reports
There's the Loch Ness monster in Scotland. And in the Himalayas, there's the yeti, the Abominable Snowman. In Tasmania—a teardrop of an island under the eye of the Australian mainland—there's the thylacine… a creature that brings out folklore... and folks armed with grainy images, convinced they've seen the thing. But unlike other mythical creatures, the thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, actually—indisputably— existed, an apex predator the size of a small wolf, roamed the island as recently as last century. which gives hope to so many obsessives, dreamers, and true believers, looking for the Tasmanian tiger in the bush… and, as you'll see, in the lab.
This is a story that says as much about human nature as it does 'nature' nature. Further proof that—even in the face of science and logic—passion survives in the wild just fine. Read more at Reports of Tasmanian tiger sightings come by the thousands as Aussies search for extinct thylacine

SETI: 'No Evidence For Alien Technology'
If all the reports of mysterious objects buzzing our skies are taken as true encounters, the Earth appears to be under assault.
But spoiler alert: For the chief leader of the SETI Institute, established to search for and understand life beyond Earth, there's a need to step back and cuddle up to a cup of cosmic reality.
"We don't have any evidence of any credible source that would indicate the presence of alien technology in our skies. And we never have," said Bill Diamond, president and chief executive officer of the SETI Institute, headquartered in Mountain View, California. "The idea that the government is keeping something like this secret is just totally absurd. There's no motivation to do so." Read more at SETI chief says US has no evidence for alien technology.
