i'm not crazy

okay so i wasn't hallucinating.

was watching the news tonight. national news. and there was a brief segment about "unknown species discovered in residential area."

they showed footage. grainy. distant. but i could SEE it.

it was a creature like the thing i saw. different but the same kind of vibe. strange proportions.

the reporter said it was "a creature with unknown genetic lineage currently being studied by wildlife officials."

WILDLIFE OFFICIALS.

that thing was not wildlife.

they made it sound so normal. so mundane. "fascinating discovery for biologists" they said.

but the footage. if you really LOOKED at it. it was wrong.

and everyone in the comments online is just. talking about it like it's a new species of salamander or something.

"nature is so interesting!" "can't wait to learn more about this!" "amazing what we're still discovering!"

am i the only one who sees how CRAZY this is?

i tried to find more coverage. there's barely anything. one local news report from another state. same kind of creature. same "unknown genetic lineage" explanation.

same white van in the background of the footage.

what is going ON?
