Okay, out-of-place alligators are one thing, but things are getting serious now. Here is the first report in a long time of an out-of-place encounter of the Mystery Marsupial kind. This cryptid kangaroo sighting is from Florida, with the first sighting taking place during the second week of June 2008. No news about these cryptid critters has been heard since those sightings of Mystery Kangaroos in Mississippi, last August 2007. Of course, other Mystery Kangaroo reports from past years on Cryptomundo can be found from Austria, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Or who can forget the “Killer Kangaroos” of 1934? Accounts of [...]

Crazy Crocs: OH, VA, MD, & MI
The Sheriff decided to carry the photo of the Saltville gator to show folks, because no one believed him. More “crazy crocs” have made their way into mini-media mentions. The “crocs” is shorthand for “crocodilians,” of course, and thus includes alligators, crocodiles, gharials, caimans, and kin. Ohio On Monday, June 16, 2008, an “urban alligator,” as it was cutely called by Channel 19 Action News, was spotted resting on a south Columbus, Ohio, street, under a sports utility vehicle (SUV) owned by the Edwards family. Police were called and they found an American alligator, about 3 1/2 feet long, next [...]

Fantastic Flight of Flying Fish Filmed
With all the talk of how difficult it is to film cryptids, occasionally it is good to point out that several species of animals do not exactly allow themselves to be filmed/photographed easily. This week flying fish are all the rage in a new video posted on the Internet. A Japanese TV crew has filmed what is believed to be the longest flight of a flying fish ever recorded. The NHK television network said one of its camera crews captured the 45-second flight on video from a ferry near Kuchino-erabu island in southwestern Japan’s Kagoshima Prefecture, on May 19, 2008. [...]
Current Crazy Croc Encounter
Chad Arment has passed along updates on a 2 to 3 ft long crocodilian being sighted and photographed in Hickory Lake, North Carolina.

While caimans are not native to [...]
1948 “Birdmen” Cases Revisited
You have probably read about the case before. Soon after the sightings and interest in other strange things in the sky, perhaps even thunderbirds and flying men in Washington State, the Zaikowskis were quoted as saying they had seen a “flying humanoid.” The cases have been background to other discussions, as for example, when they were discussed in “The Black Flash of Cape Cod” by Theo Paijmans, about the phantomlike creature that plagued Provincetown in the 1930s, published in Intermediate States Anomalist 13. In 1948, reports of “flying humans” were coming out of two towns, Longview and Chehalis, Washington. On [...]
