Mystery Creature Sighting Stuns N.J. Town; No One Has First Clue What It Is

RIDGEWOOD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – There has been a strange sighting of a strange creature in a suburban New Jersey town – and pictures of it have residents asking “What the heck is that?”

CBS 2’s John Slattery was working the day watch out of Manhattan, when his boss gave him this juicy assignment.

He took a vehicle out of Midtown. The sighting happened on Friday. He and his cameraman headed for the leafy community of Ridgewood, which was apparently being terrorized by an odd creature that lurks in and out of storm drains.

Slattery obtained video of the creature from a resident, but, like CBS 2’s reporter, was mystified.

“I saw a strange animal in the front yard,” witness Rob Lyons said.

Lyons had the presence of mind to shoot a picture of the creature on his smartphone.

"You’d think they could have found a professional zoologist to comment on the animal."

That was my thought, but they seemed content with the Dragnet parody. I thought the reporter was annoying condescending.

Could it be a Snooki?

I’ve gotten those robo calls from a black female voice telling me it’s my last chance to take advantage of the stimulus package - been getting them for months.

The Legendary Vanishing Conservative.

Once these noble creatures thundered across the American landscape in mighty herds.

Today, they have been hunted to the brink of extinction. Sightings have been relegated to the stuff of urban legends.

":)He was fun Steve."

I'm not really an old grouch, but I get annoyed when anything unusual and/or paranormal is treated by the media in this glib manner. They should have brought in a zoologist to make a legitimate guess as to what it was. When I first saw the headline, I thought it was going to be something really weird, but it's just another one of those animal sightings of something slightly unusual that probably has a conventional explanation from someone who knows about animals.

I’ve also been getting those scam calls about the “free” medical emergency alarm - a folksy, white middle-aged voice in those calls. .

In my suburban area, there are still a few coyotes running around (and possums and raccoons). I’ve seen only one coyote, but if I saw something like what was seen in this story I’d probably call it a coyote because I’m not an expert on animals and it looks close enough to be one, or perhaps some kind of coyote/dog hybrid, if that is possible.

It looks like an Anthony Weiner Trouser Snake. Been a rash of sightings lately.

BTW, does anyone know when there will be a new season of South Park episodes?

Season 17 will premier September 25, 2013 with ten episodes.

Previous seasons were bifurcated. The first half began in spring and the second half in fall. There was a long break between the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half. There were seven episodes in each half season for a total of fourteen episodes per season.

Season 17, and possibly each season thereafter, will consist of ten uninterrupted episodes.
