Obviously, they’re field researchers left behind by passing UFOs. It’s the simplest explanation that fits all the facts.

Obviously.

[q] Evidence of these phantom kangaroos is severely limited. One of the mysterious marsupials was allegedly hit by a car and killed on August 31, 1981. However, both the corpse and the anonymous driver disappeared before they could be investigated. And a fuzzy photograph taken on April 24, 1978, shows a slumping figure (which resembles a kangaroo) in Waukesha, Wisconsin. [/q]

I lived in Waukesha county when the Phantom Kangaroo shit went down. The people who saw it saw something.

I think it was a deformed or crippled deer.
