While the name of this topic seems to be of utter crackpottery, I do suggest that you take some time to listen. I have taken this account from sources that are most credible.

Well, these two individuals were backpacking in some deserty area, full of high sand dunes. These men, being sober, witnessed an odd creature run up the dunes.

This creature was apparently a horselike quadraped that moved up the sand dune at a seemingly impossible speed. You see, if this creature was hooved it would get stuck in the dry sand and move up at a very slow speed, like that fake snow creature. It was a quarter mile away, and they were looking at it through binoculars. It also was glowing, or had scaly skin that reflected the moonlight. It was about pony sized, said the source and the next day they walked up to the path that the creature took and looked at it's prints. There were impressions in the ground that were six feet. No hooved creature could do that.

They also checked the wildlife database for the area. No horse like four legged illuminated creatures.


I'm pretty sure that these men saw what they saw, but I'd like this to be open to discussion.



Pok a jag mar,

Ned.

Are you saying each print was 6 foot long ?

To quote a Brazilian aquaintance of mine, "sry bout me english"




No. There was six feet between each footprint on each side. I think it had something to do with the speed the creature was going. They didn't get an exact print, for the sand doesn't not leave impressions like mud or some other fantabulous molding surface area. My bad.

Murf... It's just some video in the Audio/Video section that shows a "snowcreature" Looks like the colorations of a snowsuit.



And I can't get more information. It's a eyewitness account and I'm not in contact with the people. But they're quiet humble peoples.. Don't think they'd fabricate a story likesies that.

I know what he's talking about. The "Snow Walker" video.

I honestly think it looks like somebody stuck in the snow in a snow suit. You can see the vest and everything.

I would love to see this...is there a video available?
Raistlin Majere
It's in this site's video gallery.

Could it be an Akhal Teke? They're highly regarded for their speed, which could explain the distance between the hoof prints, and the breed originated in Turkmenistan, where there's a fair bit of desert. Also, there's some special thing with their fur, so from time to time you see Akhal Tekes in "glowing" colours, like in the pics below.

If they went back the next day im surprised the prints were still they, because surely being in sand they would get blown over!! and so disappear if you know what i mean
Sofia Alexandra
Not necessarily, 'cos even in a desert it's not always windy.

But one thing about sand dunes is that they usually have one loose and one packed side, depending on which side the wind usually blows. On the side where the sand is packed it wouldn't bee too difficult for a four-legged creature to run fast, and that's also the only side where it would be somewhat possible to see what kind of tracks it left. I mean, when you're walking on a beach with fine sand there's no detail in the foot prints unless the sand's wet.
