When I first landed on this planet, it was going to be a century tops. Then it turned into centuries, and pretty soon centuries became millenia.
Maybe now is a good time to leave.
I wonder if anyone has missed me back home.

Easy question, simple answer: these are all the same myth. As are dragons, mermaids, unicorns, etc. Someone gets a bad look at something they can't identify, squints, and sees something that isn't really there. They tell someone and that person has the idea in their head when they look and see the same thing.wolram said:I think i can remember the one about the loch ness monster, and the one about Flying saucers, But what about bigfoot, yeti etc?

Ivan Seeking said:why not allow a little room for "maybe"?
Danger said:What 'maybe'? We have Zoobie (or, at least, had him) in captivity. That should eliminate any doubt.

The origin of these mythological creatures is often attributed to ancient folklore and legends. These stories have been passed down through generations and have evolved over time. Some believe that they may have originated from real animals or natural phenomena that were exaggerated or misunderstood.
There is currently no scientific evidence to prove the existence of these creatures. Many sightings and alleged evidence have been debunked or proven to be hoaxes. However, some argue that the lack of evidence does not necessarily mean they do not exist, as there may be undiscovered species or phenomena that have yet to be studied.
Belief in these myths can be attributed to a variety of factors, including cultural influence, personal experiences, and the desire for mystery and adventure. Some people may also find comfort in believing in something beyond our understanding or control.
These myths have a significant impact on society and culture, as they often inspire curiosity, fear, and fascination. They have been the subject of countless books, movies, and other media, and have become a part of popular culture. They also serve as a reminder of the power of storytelling and the human imagination.
Science is constantly evolving and advancing, so it is possible that new technology or discoveries may provide evidence for or against the existence of these creatures in the future. However, due to the elusive nature of these myths and the lack of concrete evidence, it is unlikely that science will ever definitively prove or disprove their existence.
