Hey Richard888!

I looked on Youtube and found a short mention of that clip of Mokele-mbembe you were talking about…check it out here but you will have to scroll through the other videos.

I bet we can find the whole episode of “That’s Incredible” dealing with Mokele-mbembe.

Later…

The episode of “That’s Incredible” featuring Mokele-mbembe was episode #26. Now to see if it is on DVD!

On a slightly different Walter Cronkite story… I swear I think I remember (note weasel wording) watching the CBS Evening News for Decmber 15, 1967. I was home from College for Christmass break. I seem to remember that toward the end of the newcast an aide handed some teleprinter paper to Cronkite, who after the standard “this just in” introduction said something to the effect that, “we have just received word of a major bridge collapse in …” The Silver Bridge.

Is my memory failing (I’m about due for it), or did I hallucinate, or did it really happen. If it did, are there tapes (or a kinescope in those days I suppose) of the broadcast? Does anyone else remember this?

I recall a radio report from my youth (early 80’s) about a farmer confronting “a bigfoot” in his cornfield in Caanan, Maine. I saw it on the local news as well, and have been curious ever since. Does anyone else from New England remember this? Loren?

The M-M film was a 1987 Japanese film. This is incorporated in the BBC CONGO series from 2001, shown every so often and recently all day on SKY documentaries and will be again i’m sure ! Descriptions of the series can be GOOGLED inc.wikipedia.

Very interesting photos of m-m’s footprints can be seen at the Japanese film sites.

When I was a boy (about 12 - 14, early 1980’s ), I heard a radio broadcast while in the car from one of the 3 major news networks ( ABC, NBC or CBS… sorry, I don’t recall which) that a Russian town had captured a “bigfoot like creature” that had been raiding fish from the village at night. Supposedly, Soviet scientists were being flown in to this remote village to study the creature. I was so excited by this, and stayed glued to the TV all evening, expecting that this would be the breaking news story for the day. I never heard another word about it ever again.

Thats Incredible….I loved that show! Yes I too saw the same episode. That show really should be on dvd! You should try finding Zovek clips, just as tough.

The first thing that popped into my head is the old footage of Oliver that gridbug mentioned.

The footage I was referring to was broadcast in “That’s Incredible!” during the 1980’s. It was a short video that showed a brontosaurus-like head and neck emerging from a lake at boat level, moving forward, and submerging again. Although the quality was grainy, the film was intriguing and might have caused as big a stir as the recent Champ video since the creature might be difficult to pigeonhole.

I sure wish more people knew about this footage or that it was available on Youtube.
