- "Seventeen persons gathered at a family reunion"
at Concepcion del Bermejo, a small town in northern Argentina, "claim
to have seen and beaten a lobizon (Spanish for werewolf--J.T.) between
midnight and 12"30 a.m. yesterday morning," Thursday, June 22,
2000.
-
- "The event, recounted by members of the Ovejero
and Gomex families, who reside in the community, took place early yesterday
morning..."
-
- Concepcion del Bermejo is located on Ruta Nacional (National
Route) 16 west of the city of Saenz Pena.
-
- "Eva Castillo, one of the family members, told the
Argentinian newspaper Norte "that the first one to detect the presence
of the strange being was her nephew, Marcelo, 11, who noticed that 'it
was attacking his little dog, and opened the window to see what was going
on...'"
-
- "Marcelo saw 'there was a strange creature standing
next to the deck we have for the chickens and the ducks to drink water.'"
-
- Another family member said, "We went outside to
see what was going on because the dogs started 'bullfighting' with it."
-
- "'Look, I don't believe in the Lobizon or the Almamula
(another legendary Argentinian "manimal"--J.T.) either. I always
thought they were lies people told, but after what happened to us...let
me tell you, we all saw that thing and gave it a holy beating. As if nothing
had happened, it got up and went away,' stated Jesus Alcides Gomez, who
along with other members of the family rained blows on an unknown animal"
using sticks, garden hoes and bricks.
-
- Sra. Castillo said, "We went with Alcides because
the lobizon chased Marcelito, forcing him to climb into a zorra (flatbed
truck--J.T.) to avoid being injured."
-
- Witnesses said "the creature appeared in the yard
and resembled a dog with large hanging ears and legs resembling those of
a child."
-
- "The witnesses stated that they were 'attacked by
the beast' and defended themselves with a variety of objects until they
managed to corner it in a room, and 'there it was beaten with sticks, hoes
and bricks...The creature didn't even squeal,' they indicated, 'and we
took it outside again, since it looked dead, and tied it to a tree. But
as you can see, it took off running and crossed the highway as if we'd
inflicted no injury to it.'"
-
- Old-timers in Concepcion del Bermejo "insisted that
appearances of the Lobizon were quite common in the past."
-
- In Argentina, people believe that the seventh son of
a seventh son turns into the Lobizon at midnight on the night of the full
moon, particularly if this occurs on a Friday. Col. Juan Domingo Peron,
who was president of Argentina from 1943 to 1955, ordered that all "seventh
sons" be baptized in public ceremonies as a means of stamping out
this superstition.
-
- When the creature fled, the families telephoned the police.
The crime scene was investigated by Deputy Sheriff de la Cruz who "collected
samples of blood, yellow and brown hair found on one of the hoe, along
with 'some kind of peppers it expelled through its anus.'"
-
- The samples will be sent elsewhere "for biochemical
analysis," Deputy de la Cruz said.
-
- Another witnes also claims to have seen the Lobizon that
night.
-
- "Odilio Pontes, is the attendant of a gas station
located along Ruta 16 precisely towards where the Lobizon vanished. 'Around
1:30 in the morning, I saw a strange dog that appeared to be hiding behind
the diesel pump, and I felt a sensation of fear and looked through the
glass without opening the door. I managed to see that it was all bloody
on parts of its tail,' he stated."
-
- Pontes added that the mysterious canine "headed
for town" and 'had long hair, somewhat dark brown in color, long ears
and its eyes darted everywhere. Seriously, I don't believe in any of this,
but I felt a sensation of fear. I don't know why, but seeing that the tail
was half cut-off and all the blood it left on the ground, made me feel
scared.'" (See the newspaper Norte for June 23, 2000, "Concepcion
del Bermejo convulsed by Wolfman apparition," and June 24, 2000, "Numerous
residents of Concepcion del Bermejo claim having seen Wolfman."

-
- (Editor's Comment: So there have been other Lobizon
appearances in that town, eh? Could be that Concepcion del Bermejo is
an interdimensional nexus point. It would be interesting to see if the
other Lobizon sightings coincided with peaks in solar activity like the
Year 2000 cycle.)

- BIGFOOT ON THE PROWL IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
-
- On Friday, June 9, 2000, at approximately 7 a.m., the
female witness was driving to work on Route 30 between Jeannette, Pa. (population
11,300) and Greensburg, Pa. (population 16,400) four miles (6 kilometers)
to the southeast, when she spotted a Bigfoot.
-
- "The lady had left her home earlier that morning
and was enroute to her job. She had slowed down to look at a car that
was for sale and was looking towards the right side."
-
- "Seconds later, her attention was drawn to a large
dark manlike creature which was standing on a back road surrounded by woods."
-
- "While the observation lasted only 15 to 20 seconds,
the witness saw the creature cross the road and enter into a nearby wooded
area. The woman estimated that the creature stood about 6 to 7 feet (2
meters) tall and weighed approximately 300 to 400 pounds. The witness
states that she slammed on her brakes as soon as she saw the creature,
but it could no longer be seen."
-
- When the witness (first) noticed the creature, it was
approximately 300 feet away. It was standing sideways in a 'hunched' position
on the back road. As the witness watched, the creature turned its head
and looked towards the highway, then took two or three long strides into
the thick woods where it was lost from sight. The woman stated that the
creature was covered with long back hair. While no facial features could
be determined, the head seemed somewhat oval in shape, and their was very
little neck apparent."
-
- Greensburg is located 30 miles (48 kilometers) southest
of Pittsburgh. (Many thanks to Stan Gordon and Eric Altman, director of
the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society for this report.)

- MULTIPLE UFO SIGHTINGS REPORTED IN FRANCE
-
- On Saturday, June 18, 2000, at 1 a.m., "two large
triangular objects" were seen moving slowly over the cities of Charlesville-Mezieres
and Villers-Semeuse in eastern France.
-
- "The two triangular objects descended to a very
low altitude with a loud, strange engine noise. Their speed was not constant.
At times it seemed as if the OVNIs (French acronym for UFO--J.T.) were
actually skimming over some places. There was a metallic bar observed
beneath the engines. There were bright white lights at the extremities
of the bar."
-
- Charleville-Mezieres is located about 224 kilometers
(140 miles) northeast of Paris.
-
- A half-hour earlier, at 12:30 a.m., French ufologist
Thierry Garnier was skywatching on a hillside on the outskirts of Gasny,
in the department of Eure about 110 kilometers (66 miles) west of Paris,
when he spotted a strange object in the night sky.
-
- "Personally I had made a strange observation that
night," he reported, "It was 12:30 a.m. when I saw a strong white
luminous flash approaching from the east and heading west. I will not
be categorical as to the nature of what I have seen. I don't know what
I saw. The thing had only this permanent white luminous flash, no navigation
lights, a constant speed but accelerating as it reached an altitude of
5,000 meters (16,500 feet) in a clear night sky."
-
- According to the French newspaper La Provence, on Sunday,
June 18, 2000 at about noontime, a holiday parade in the city of Aix-en-Provence
was disrupted when onlookers spotted "a sphere of fire in the sky."
-
- The midday fireball was also seen in Marseilles, in the
departments of Var, Haute-Loire and Alpes- Maritimes, and on the island
of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea. (Merci beaucoup a Thierry Garnier

-
- Montclair, N.J. is only 13 miles (24 kilometers) west
of New York City.
-

size. It was tiny, black, elliptical, possibly very far away, maybe 20
to 30 miles (32 to 48 kilometers) Flying at 30,000 feet (9,595 meters)
at about 500 to 600 miles per hour (800 to 960 kilometers per hour."

a triangular UFO over High Point, North Carolina (population 69,500).

of a triangular craft going silently next to the moon. It was a silhouette.
No way to tell the color. The object appeared to be the same size as
the moon.."
-
- Jeff was unable to calculate the exact altitude, "but
it seemed to be moving pretty fast for the probable height."
-
- High Point, N.C. is located about 15 miles (25 kilometers)

- TWO RED UFOs SIGHTED OVER DEXTER, MICHIGAN
-
- On Friday, June 23, 2000, at 11:30 p.m., Walter S., his
mother and his brother were at a church in Dexter, Michigan (population
1,500) when they saw something strange in the sky.
-
- "My brother, my mother and I were at the Webster
First Church of Christ, walking around, and when we noticed to the west
two bright red lights out in the field. It was two red lights gliding
slowly over treetops in a field. No noise was made. The lights were just
above the treeline in that direction and moving away ever so slowly to
the south--perhaps at three miles per hour 5 kilometers per hour) The
objects seemed red and did not blink. We thought perhaps they were planes,
but there was no sound. We continued to watch them until they were obscured
by some trees."
-
- Dexter is on Highway D-19 approximately 50 miles (80
kilometers) west of Detroit. (Many thanks to Michigan ufologist Todd Lemire
for this report.) _____
