A Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources contractor has reported a close encounter with a “large, black furry figure” that reached into the back of his truck and removed a deer carcass. He is contracted to remove road killed deer. The only known animal fitting the description of an animal at least 7 feet tall would be a gorilla or a grizzly bear, but neither animal is known to be present in the wild in Wisconsin, and there have been no reported escapes. Sheriff’s deputies have not found the creature or the missing deer.

The Milwaukee Channel reports that Steve Krueger as saying, “I felt the truck shake. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a large, black furry figure reaching into the back of the truck.”

We’ve talked about space elevators, or cable cars, in the past. But they may only be able to be used by robots, because of the radiation surrounding the earth.

Kelly Young writes in New Scientist that space elevators could be a cheap way to get cargo and possibly people into space one day. This could be especially important if we establish colonies on the moon, or even on Mars. But there’s one problem: any human riding one of these through the Van Allen radiation belts that surround the earth would get a lethal dose of radiation. The reason that astronauts have not been injured in this way is because they traveled so quickly through this area, but a space elevator would be a much slower ride.
