ABC: Alien Big Cat...'Lion' sighted near Belfast

Excellent - it's been entirely too long since we had a good ABC (Alien Big Cat) sighting round these parts. From Loren at Cryptomundo:

'On the evening of Sunday, August 31, 2008, a search was being conducted by police in Northern Ireland after sightings of a large sandy-colored felid in Cavehill Park, a short distance from the Belfast Zoo. Northern Ireland police deployed a helicopter in the hunt, without success. The location of the sightings does not surprise me, considering the source of the reports are a social felid.

Official checks with the zoo personnel found no big cats missing from the zoo. Keepers had checked all cages in the zoo and all the animals were accounted for.'
