Strange Creature Washes Ashore

Could it be a devil dog? The mythical chupacabra? Perhaps it's just an unfortunate pug, raccoon or turtle. A photo of a strange creature lying dead on a Montauk, N.Y., beach, fuels Web-wide speculation and amusement. "It looked like nothing I'd ever seen before," Ryan O'Shea, one of the witnesses, told Newsday. "It looked like it died angry."

Montauk Monster: This otherworldly looking creature found on a New York beach July 13 has been called an alien, a science experiment gone bad, even "how I imagine Karl Rove looks on the inside." Some dismiss it as a decomposing pug or turtle without a shell.

I have no idea what it is supposed to be, but I'm sick and tired with people claiming it to be a turtle without a shell. A turtle's shell is basically its spine and ribcage. If you somehow 'took off' the shell of a turtle, it's whole body would just fall apart, while this thing clearly has a intact back with skin on it.

Montauk was the scene of some pretty fantastic Military / Science projects in the past. Plum Island in Long Island sound does a lot of animal testing.

I know I'll get flamed by everyone who believes that our government cannot be involved in sciences as unethical as crossbreeding or genetic manipulations, I'd say this is result of it.

Authorities called it a "dog" and then said it was a shell less turtle. It's like 1947 in Roswell. "You didn't see what you just saw and if you say you did, we'll kill you."
