A strange connection between equally strange creatures and railroads? It's an odd fact that when we go looking, we find evidence of far more than a few cases of weird beasts seen surfacing near railroads. Coincidence? Maybe not. In 2014, the late Brad Steiger told me: "A bizarre incident occurred in Turkey on the night of May 14, 1964. Ismir Bey and his wife were driving along a road that ran adjacent to a railroad track [italics mine] when they spotted a spinning disc in the sky, described by them as 'the size of a house.' Suddenly, it seemed to plummet out of the sky, and as the two watched it crashed to the ground in a burst of flames. This is certainly one of the few reports of a UFO crashing, and, to add a bizarre twist, a huge, hairy monster was soon seen by the Beys as it scrambled out of the wreckage and headed for safety – straight toward the Beys!
In an article titled "The Mystery Predators of Britain," Tina Collins says the following of one particular "Alien Big Cat" case of July 2009 in Scotland: "Police dog handler, PC Chris Swallow spotted a 1.2m (4ft) long creature that he now believes was one of the Big Cats which reportedly roam the UK. It was prowling near a railway line [italics mine]. The size of the track was much larger than a domestic cat and the way it balanced along the railway line discounted it as being a dog." It should be noted that cases involving ABCs seen on – and very near to – railroad tracks absolutely abound. Interestingly, an ABC was seen in 2008 near Puerto Rico's Chemex Railroad. It was described as being bigger than a German Shepherd dog and black in color.
