1965: Two prospectors report a Sasquatch encounter from Pitt Lake, 25 miles northeast of Vancouver, British Columbia. Working at the 4,000-foot level, they first note humanoid footprints in snow, measured at 24 inches long and 12 inches wide at the base of the toes. Following that trail, which includes strange drag marks beside the footprints, they see an "enormous" bipedal creature watching them from the lake's far side. Later comparing it to nearby trees, the men estimate its height between 10 and 15 feet. Several days later, one prospector returns to the site in a helicopter, with a newspaper reporter. They find another set of tracks leading to the edge of a cliff, but nothing below.

1970: At least eight witnesses, including João Aguiar of the Brazilian Federal Police, claim a UFO an extended UFO sighting from the Rio de Janeiro suburb of Leblon, beginning at 11:40 a.m. They describe a "great metallic disc" descending to rest on the surface of the South Atlantic Ocean, 500 yards offshore from the busy coastal highway Avenida Niemeyer, whereupon two small humanoids emerge and walk around the craft's rim, as if inspecting it. The "crewmen" wear helmets and "grayish aluminum-colored garments" resembling the garb of modern astronauts. After approximately half an hour, the UFO takes off, skimming the surface for 300 yards and raising the kind of wake normally seen from motorboats, before it soars skyward.

MULTIPLE UNIVERSES

Mainstream science now seems to be considering the possibility of a multiverse, a plurality of universes.  It may be possible for some beings or creatures to move from one to the other and such a movement might account for some cryptozoological anomalies, e.g., certain animals in areas that could not support them due to limitations of habitat.  See this article on the subject.
