Pinky Expedition: Dinosaur World
Since I’m exploring the Florida wilds of the St. Johns River, looking for evidence or indications of Pinky, the living dinosaur, I thought I’d take a side trek into civilization to visit Dinosaur World. Located just north of Tampa, it is off I-4, at Exit 17 in Plant City. It took me several hours of driving to reach it, but I figured if anyone would know anything about Pinky the dinosaur, it would be these folks. With over 150 life-size dinosaur statues and other creations to be seen on the walking tour of the grounds of Dinosaur World, you would [...]
Pinky Expedition: St. Johns River, Part 2
My search for Pinky continues. But I am becoming convinced from my exploration of the central St. Johns River area that Pinky reports are a probable event of the recent past, and mostly a foggy memory, at best. No current knowledge of these animals or cryptids is contemporarily apparent. The draft of the river in this area of central Florida is not supportive of ocean life such as dolphins, and other than the manatees that need to find warm springs in the cold season, it seems hard to imagine marine Sea Serpents or alleged living dinosaurs visiting “American’s Nile.” Reports [...]
Pinky Report: St. Johns River, Part 1
I only have a few moments as the evolved dinosaurs (birds) have overwhelmed my travel log, to record some thoughts before I get back out there. My boat excursions yesterday, captained separately by Rebecca and later Peter (out of the Blue Springs State Park), local natives well-educated in the local fauna and flora along the St. Johns River, served me well. Also, pre-boat interviews of Barbara gave me insights into the almost ancestral remembrances of Pinky reports from the bygone days of the 1970s. I saw and counted 53 manatees, mostly in one herd, but with several incidents of them [...]
Scott T. Norman by Bill Rebsamen
The cryptozoology artist Bill Rebsamen remembers Scott Norman. Cryptozoology has lost a passionate heart in the person of Scott Norman. I met Scott 10 years ago after I purchased my first Mac for home use and tried out a free membership to AOL. Within the first week I had used AOL’s search engine to locate other people of cryptozoological interests. The first people I met that week were Scott Norman and Matthew Bille. Scott and I became fast friends and he kindly built my first ever website to showcase my art. Scott was always very patient and helpful towards me [...]

Scott Norman: Pterosaur Eyewitness
People are remembering Scott Norman in their own ways. Reopn researcher J. D. Whitcomb has sent along the following contribution to Cryptomundo: I too was shocked to learn of Scott’s passing. To those who knew nothing about Scott except for his apparent failure to find a living dinosaur, we can correct a misunderstanding: Scott did see, in the Southwest Pacific, at 2:00 a.m., July 19, 2007, from a distance of twenty feet, an apparent pterosaur. Whitcomb points to these two sources, here and here. The exact quotes from Scott are: “Scott described a flying organism with a wingspan of 8-10 [...]
Farewell, Scott Norman by Matt Bille
Who is Scott T. Norman? Those not involved in cryptozoology won’t know, and perhaps won’t care. But they should. Scott, who died this past week from a blood clot at the too-young age of 45, is an example of an overlooked figure in science these days, the dedicated amateur enthusiast. Such people have always been the unsung heroes of science. With the exception of some specialized groups (bird-counters and asteroid hunters come to mind), 21st-century science tends to pay little heed to the amateur. Scott was enraptured by cryptozoology only in the last decade of his tragically short life, but [...]
Scott Norman by Bill Gibbons and Others
Scott Norman It is very difficult for me to write these words about my friend and brother in Christ, Scott Norman. John Kirk and Loren Coleman has really said everything there is to say about Scott, a man who deepy impacted all of us who knew him. I corresponded with Scott via email for about 4 years before we eventually met during our departure from North America for the 2001 Cameroon expedition. I was immediately struck by the peace that seemed to be embedded deep in his soul. Here was a man who truly walked with God. Although Scott was [...]

If you wish to send a card, the snail mail address, again, is: Mr. and Mrs. Norman 7519 Langley Canyon Road, Prunedale, California 93907 USA.
