Government Covering Up Cryptid Evidence

There is a book out in stores right now that asks this very question. The book is called "Monster Files: a Look Inside Government Secrets and Classified Documents on Bizarre Creations and Extraordinary Animals," by Nick Redfern. I personally have not read it, but for a bit of information on it you can visit Linda Godfrey's blog here. What I want to talk about is some of the information Ms. Godrey said was in the book, mainly the interest the U.S. government had in the Yeti and other such cryptids. According to Redfern's book, there was even an interest in werewolves and dinosaur-like creatures. But is it true? Well, the interest in the Yeti is very true so it is not beyond belief that these other creatures were on the scope of some government's out there.

Monster Files" author, Nick Redfern

A couple of years ago official U.S. documents were found that were guidelines for visitors to Nepal during the 1950s. Rule one required people to get Yeti hunting permits from the Nepal government. Rule two was that the "Yeti hunters" were allowed to photograph or bring back the cryptid alive, but were not allowed to kill or shoot one unless there was a danger to someone's life. And rule three is the important one: all news reports or sightings were to go through the Nepal government before the media. And the Nepal government was to decide what would go to the media. This means that there may be evidence of the Yeti out there being covered up. Think that this information is too good to be true? Well, here's the proof.

And it's not just Bigfoot that the government was investigating. The UFO files that the FBI released on their Vault page has gone relatively unnoticed until recently. There are pages and pages of investigative reports from the FBI as they investigated run of the mill UFO sightings and even some claims that aliens were actually walking around on Earth. You can see these files here.

And it's not just the U.S. government who is hunting strange creatures. China started hunting for Yetis in their own country in 2010. They even found pieces of fur, but the official story from China is that they belong to a species of monkey. China, long known for covering up anything that might look strange in their country, may not be the most forthcoming with any actual proof.

If your interested in the book but are on the fence, you can read an excerpt from the book here.
