In the second part of our series on the mysterious visitor to Van Meter, Iowa, it\\u2019s time to wonder how so many credible people could see a creature so incredible and what that creature could be.\\xa0 An extant pterosaur, your run-of-the-mill cryptid, a Keel-like \\u201cuttraterrestrial,\\u201d something like a tulpa or an egregore, or simply a transdimensional interloper from the sacred and mystical bowels of the earth?\\xa0 Does a hoax that a whole town would have to be in on even make sense?\\xa0 Could the gestalt be a little from all of these things?\\xa0 We may never know precisely what the Van Meter Monster was, but we can learn how something clinically described as an unusual sensory experience affects the people who see it.\\xa0 Something else we can bet on is that, like it or not, we must share our reality with the surreal, and as rare as it is, people will continue to see the impossible.
