The reason cryptos stay cryptos is because they share the remarkable ability to disable even the most up-to-date photographic technology – a bit like Thunderbird 1. I mean, it’s just a blob – from one right angle it could be Micky Mouse barfing!

Is there a better photo? That could be anything. I could take that with my phone, play with the background and everyone would think the same thing, only it was of a house cat. At least the authorities over there aren’t ruling the possibility out.

I have lived in Germany for over thirty years now and for over ten years I have been interested with cryptozoology. There have been reports of various big cats during these years but not in such a high frequency that someone could think there is actually a breeding population. No dead big cats in all these years (except of the “biggest” cat in our woods: the Lynx). If there was really a big cat it was indeed an escapee what is highly unusual and always fast known because logically the first thing to do for police is calling all private persons, zoos or circuses in the region who keep big cats (not much at all in view of our laws regarding this; btw we had no DWAA and there’s surely no (or no high) rate of illegal keeping as space in Germany is not that big to keep a big cat for a long time unseen).

I agree – as I’ve also spoken once with my collegue who reasearched such cases of “black cats” in Germany – yes there’s a long history of such reports but these are more mythical creatures of folklore than living animals.

Am intrigued. Would be nice to view the video and come to our own conclusion than a translated news story and very blurry mobile phone image. Must be one hell of an old mobile phone. Mine does pretty good video and images.
