So, unless I can think of something else to do or say on the origin and species of cryptids, I think this will be the last one I'm going to write for now. Crypto Theory will still be around, but the origin theories of cryptids might be gone for a while.
Also, I want to remind you all of my book Tales of Horror: Macabre Monsters of Michigan. I'm still in the middle of edits right now and pestering my Old Man for his review. But, if you don't care about those things, then buy it today. The prices are still $.99 for Kindle and $4.99 for paperback.
Anyway, for this week's post of Crypto Theory, I'm looking at the theory of...
That's right. Are cryptids extraterrestrials? Are they aliens from another planet? Sounds strange, but there is some evidence and witness testimony to suggest just that. Let's take a look at some of it.
Exhibit A: MIB's Be Creeping
Sometimes when a cryptid sighting is reported, it isn't unusual for Men in Black, usually associated with UFO phenomenon, to be seen immediately after. We're all familiar with how nefarious the MIB's stalked people during the Mothman incident, but there are stories of the MIB's being around during other times. In Nick Refern's book Three Men Seeking Monsters, he tells of a witness who saw a cryptid while camping up in the mountains one day. Immediately after, three men in black suits, which were ill chosen clothes for the environment, appeared They asked the witness if he saw anything strange a few minutes ago. The witness answered in the negative and the MIB's told him they might be by later to ask him some more questions. They never did.
In the episode "Wilderness: UFO Bigfoot, Lake Pepin Monster, Cajun Werewolf" from Monsters and Mysteries in America, there's tell of an unusual tale where several teens saw illuminated Sasquatches that they claimed were from outer space. And then, I don't remember if it was the same episode or not, but there was an episode where a Bigfoot had tried to leech power from a trailer park home's generator. A boy took a picture of a footprint left by the beast, and suddenly an MIB appeared in front of him. The MIB took the picture from the boy and then rubbed out the footprint with his own shoe. The MIB then reportedly disappeared.
So, next time you see something strange and a man in a black suit suddenly appears, think twice about what you tell him.

Exhibit B: Lizardman and the Reptoids
When it comes to aliens and extraterrestrials, everyone is familiar with the Greys: little grey men with huge heads and big, black eyes. But, what some people may not know is that there are different kinds of aliens seen all over the world. Some report aliens with blonde hair, blue eyes, and flawless skin with a beauty that is otherworldly, some report seeing aliens that look like a hybrid between Greys and humans, but one of the most popular is the Reptoids.
I can't say much about the Reptoids other than they match descriptions of Lizardmen. But, in an episode of Animal X: Natural Mystery Unit, "Lizardmen, Reptilian Creatures, & Alien Abductions," they discuss the possibility that Lizardmen are from outer space. In this particular episode, they talk to two supposed alien abductees, one who claims to heal people with alien energies and can even speak their language. They also interview a therapist who works as an alien abductee counselor helping people come to terms with their close encounters of the third kind. According to the therapist, reptilian ET's are common sightings and she says the face that people are left with PTSD afterward shows that the witnesses are being honest.
Exhibit C: Dogman
Doubtlessly, many of you are skeptical that your beloved Dogman could be an alien. But according to one witness in Linda Godfrey's Real Wolfmen, that's exactly what they are. In 2005, she was contacted by a man who had received training in remote viewing, a psychic ability that allows people to see others from great distances, and sometimes, from other times. According to the man, before humans arrived on Earth, a werewolf-like alien species visited Earth and left its commandos behind waiting for the time when humanity destroys itself.
Now, while this is certainly an interesting theory, there are some problems with the story. For one thing, Linda lost contact with the witness because he said the Dogmen found out about his remote viewing, and they believed turnabout is fair play, so he stopped. Another issue is that he claims the Dogmen he saw were of the Anubis variety, which isn't a very popular one. But, what really shoots hole in this story is that if the Dogmen aliens landed on Earth at a time before humans were the dominant species, why didn't they just take over it then? Why come, drop off a few commandos, leave, wait for humans to settle in, and then wait for humans to destroy themselves? They could've dominated the planet long ago if they had just usurped humans while we were still evolving. Know what I mean? It's an interesting theory, and it could explain a few things about Dogmen, but I don't put much stock in it.

Exhibit D: El Chupacabra
When thinking of the stereotypical el Chupacabra, we typically imagine a creature that is short, has bulbous eyes, and doesn't look like anything on his planet. Being short and having big eyes sounds very Grey-like. And, according to some eyewitnesses, they have seen Chupacabras cavorting around satellites where UFO's often appear, and their footprints have been found around UFO landing sites. One such claim is made by an investigator in the episode "El Chupacabra" on Animal X: Natural Mystery Unit. And, in that episode, Argentinian locals claimed NASA personnel may have captured el Chupacabra specimens and taken them back to the US.

Unfortunately, I'm not much a ufologist, so I don't know much about the alien phenomenon and how it might be connected to cryptozoology. It could be that both UFO's and cryptids are caused by the same phenomenon, such as a portal through the dimensions or that they're both demonic in nature. However, if there are any cryptids out there that are aliens, I'd put money on el Chupacabra, Mothman, and Lizardman just because they're so weird and different from anything we've ever seen before on Earth, and because they do have some ties to UFO's. Hell, Lizardman might even have ties to the US Air Force.
But, that's going to do it for now. I apologize for the brevity of this post, but like I said, I don't know much. Next week, I'll be writing about ghosts, but I'm not sure in what capacity. I will return to Crypto Theory eventually though. I would like to briefly examine the activity around the Land Between the Lakes area, a well-known area to some cryptozoologists. But, anyway, I'll see you next time.
Keep watching the skis! I mean, skies. Keep watching the skies, my friends.
