Decemystery (2022.3) 21: The Gigantic, Metallic, Aerial Snake-Lobster of Chile

 

Welcome back to my blog, dear reader. It’s officially the first day of winter, which is nice for those of you who like winter. Personally, I’m more of an autumn and spring guy. Winter signals to me that it’s Decemystery, which I always enjoy doing deep down. It’s a time when I get to test my writing capabilities by jumping from story to story without much of a break. It’s a great deal of fun until I feel like I’m losing my hair. Ah, but whatever; let’s get into today’s mysteries.

Our story today for Decemystery 2022.3 is one that caught my attention due to the name. It’s also one that’s on “Think About It Docs,” which is a website dedicated to UFOs, aliens, and all other things extraterrestrial. Despite that, this story sounds a lot like a cryptid story, but believe me, it isn’t, not in the slightest. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves; you’ll see what I mean in due time.

Now, then,  let’s take a trip to South America. The weather is warmer, the wildlife is exotic, and both the UFOs are truly something else. Today, we’ll be discussing one that I call The Gigantic, Metallic, Aerial Snake-Lobster of Chile! Strap in because this is going to be one of the weirdest rides of the month yet.

Decemystery (2019) 19: Huallepen

Today’s story was meant to be on the Mantis Man, but it became very apparent to me that the level of writing that would be involved in writing about it wouldn’t be feasible the time frame I had. As such, I’ve delayed it for the foreseeable (likely until sometime late next year as I’ve planned out 2020 in a way that’ll allow me to keep a nice, if rigorous, work ethic). In its place, I picked out a story that’s equally as peculiar and will take us out of the United States and down to Chile. So let’s discuss the Huallepen.
