Mysterious footprints of mythical beast Yeti sighted, claims Indian Army

NEW DELHI: Indian Army on Tuesday claimed that one of its teams spotted mysterious footprints of mythical creature "Yeti" close to Nepal's Makalu Base Camp.
During an expedition, the Mountaineering Expedition team came across mysterious marks measuring 32X15 inches, which the Army believed are of the mythical beast Yeti, the Army said.
"For the first time, an Indian Army Mountaineering Expedition Team has sited Mysterious Footprints of mythical beast 'Yeti' measuring 32x15 inches close to Makalu Base Camp on 09 April 2019. This elusive snowman has only been sighted at Makalu-Barun National Park in the past," Indian Army tweeted.

Rejecting derision over its mountaineering team's claim of having found footprints of the mythical Yeti, the Army said that "evidence" about the Abominable Snowman has been "photographed and handed over to subject matter experts" for scientific evaluation.
The Army further added it held on to the "photographic evidence" about the Abominable Snowman for about 10 days but then decided that they matched earlier theories.
“So, we thought it prudent (to go public) to excite scientific temper and rekindle the interest," Army said.
Though the hunt for the mythical beast has stretched back to centuries, it was in the 1950s when a British explorer Eric Shipton sighted a series of abnormal footprints while he was looking for an alternate route to climb Mount Everest. Shipton's finding intensified the interest of the world in this mysterious, elusive creature.
So much so that the Nepalese government, in a hope to capture the "beast", issued a hunting license for Yeti in the 1950s.
Since then there have been numerous instances of people, explorers, scientists claiming to have either sighted Yeti or spotted its footprints. However, none of the claims could be verified, as of now.
