“Die, Researchers, Die!”

Perhaps it is a coincidence but on March 22, 2008, a renegade alignment of “thinkers” calling themselves the RRRgroup (although known by some critics as the “KKKgroup”) wrote a blog (together?) entitled “Death(s) will clean the UFO palate.” They begin by stating, “When ufology’s old-guard passes on – Dick Hall, Stan Friedman, Kevin Randall, John Schuessler, and even the 60ish Jerry Clark to name a few – taking hangers-on and sycophants with them (and you know who they are), the UFO palate will be cleansed.” The RRRGroup then mention others who “include Paul Kimball, Nick Redfern, Greg Bishop, and Mac [...]

Breaking: Campeche Chupacabras

Chupacabras reappears in Champotón, Campeche, Mexico; it kills 9 birds. Chupacabras reappeared in the municipality of Champotón, where it left dead eight hens and a turkey and without blood, but also a live rooster, in the house of Aurelio Tamay.

New Brazilian Species Discovered

A team of researchers and experts of Brazil’s Tocantins Sierra Environmental Station has catalogued 440 animal species in the Tocantins Sierra Wildlife Reserve (TSWR), among them 14 new species. Their work lasted 30 days. Below are photos of five of the species of interest to the researchers: Corythomantis greeningi Bachia sp. Stenocercus quinarius Proceratophrys sp. Phyllomedusa sp. The two lizards (Bachia and Stenocercus) are said to be “recently described,” as well as the Phyllomedusa frog. The Proceratophrys toad “has yet to be described,” and the Corythomantis amphibian, though already described, is said to be “rarely encountered” in the area under [...]

Compton Yowie Photos

Paul Compton writes: I’m the researcher that has these pictures. [They] aren’t a stump. We don’t go tramping in Australia; it’s called back packing.

“Feathered” Dinosaur Was Bald

A close-up view of the head and neck of a 120-million-year-old Sinosauropteryx fossil (top) shows imprints around the body that have long been believed to be early versions of feathers. Recent analysis – (this news is a year old but what has become of this?) – of another fossil of this turkey-size dino species (model at bottom) concludes that the features are actually the remains of collagen fibers and that the dinosaur was bald. The work casts a shadow on the popular theory that Sinosauropteryx and other members of the dinosaur group known as therapods are the ancestors of modern [...]

Yeren Steals Beer

Cryptomundo correspondent Adam Campbell sends along this sighting of a Yeren: I saw a Yeren between Guilin and Kunming in China, in October 1995. I was on a train travelling at night at about 20 mph when the Yeren put it’s hand through the window and grabbed a bottle of beer off the table next to the window. We heard the bottle smash about 10 seconds later. Four of us saw it of which one [of the eyewitnesses] was Chinese; he kept shouting “Yeren! Yeren!” The Yeren had very long thin fingers covered in gingery auburn hair. We assume that [...]

Hillary’s Yeti Debunking Lives On

Sir Edmund Hillary recently died, and yet his legacy of Yeti debunking continues onward, even now through his associates. The Telegraph of Calcutta, India has published a subtle little article recalling in glowing terms Hillary’s damaging Yeti investigations, which were set up skeptically, versus open-mindedly, from the very start. In the article, “Climber recalls days with Edmund, hunting for Yeti,” the Telegraph’s correspondent writes of one man who was on the trek: Nearly half-a-century ago, Bhanu Banerjee accompanied legendary climber Edmund Hillary to a Himalayan expedition in pursuit of the Abominable Snowman and came back with some incredible memories. “Every [...]
