FILE NAME: Case Of The Phantom Cat Of Exmoor.
DATE: 28th-30th March 1989.
AGENT(S) INVOLVED: Agent Duchson (with Commander James & Field Marshall Quint).
FINDINGS:
During the events of the 28th-30th, I was posted to Exmoor National Park, Devon, in order to hunt and capture a suspected 'phantom' cat.
Locals told me that the large, panther like cat was first spotted in the early
1970's but sightings and damage to live stock peaked in 1983. At this point the Government posted a team of Royal Marine snipers to the area and although the creature was spotted several times, it was never shot at.
Local farmers tell me that since 1983, to the current day, there have been a further 200 live stock deaths accredited to the beast.
Very soon after my arrival on Exmoor, along with two of the Marines from the original mission, Commander James and Filed Marshall Quint, the beast was spotted patrolling the perimeter of our camp.
It was in appearance, as expected, a huge black panther. Later on the same evening, the beast made its first attempt to enter our camp, tripping our alarm system in the process and dazzling itself in our floodlights. Working throughout the night, myself, James and Quint were able to sedate and cage the creature.
CONCLUSION:
After the entrapment of the beast, it was clear to see that it was no ordinary Black Panther. Measuring around 365cm in head and body length, with a tale span of 201cm and weighing 320lbs, the Beast of Exmoor was more than twice the size of an average panther or jaguar.
Blood samples and muscle biopsy's were taken, but are yet to offer and steady conclusions.
Despite the lack of scientific evidence available, it is clear to see that this creature has either evolved greatly in its adaptation to its surroundings or has been genetically modified by some form of scientific process.
The Beast was removed on the evening of the 30th and taken to a safe location known only to the British Government and The Director of The Agency.
