I just received a telephone call. I’ve been invited to make an appearance on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory tonight (overnight May 16th into the morning of May 17th, 2007) between 10:00 PM – 11:00 PM Pacific, 11:00 PM – midnight Mountain,, midnight – 1:00 AM Central, 1:00 AM – 2:00 AM Eastern. C2C seems very interested in the new Mystery Giant Turtle Photos! But I told C2C’s producer Tom, right off the bat, the photos probably are of a decomposing whale. They still want to talk about cryptozoology in general. George was a little rushed at the [...]
Mystery Giant Turtle Photos!
Details are sketchy on these photographs of what is being labeld a Mystery Giant Marine Turtle (or is it a decomposing whale), thusfar, other than they are a record of a body from a recent Pacific Ocean beaching. Look for updates, but, for now, I wanted to rush these photos here, for your attention.
Update: Kerala Thunderbird Photo
This photographic update and comparison on the recent “New Thunderbird Photos” posting shows a possible species that may or may not explain the Indian example. You be the judge. Regarding the “Thunderbird” photograph (above) taken in Kerala, India, French cryptozoology student Fabrice Tortey suggests that although “size evaluation in the sky without point of reference is rather tricky, I think the birds are probably black kites (Milvus migrans govinda). The shape of the tail is characteristic.” See two photos of this species below. I’m not certain how much can be seen of the tail from the distance demonstrated by this [...]
New Thunderbird Photos
Please click on image for full size version The above photograph was sent to me via a Cryptomundo reader. Maybe people are already aware of this photo of a giant bird sighting. And maybe it’s a hoax. It looks pretty real to me though. I was stunned when I first saw it. Wish I knew who took it. It is from a Hong Kong website, where people who fly RC airplanes post pictures. One of the pictures has an RC flying in front of an enormous eagle-looking bird. Kate, sent to Cryptomundo, May 2007 French cryptozoologist Michel Raynal forwards the [...]
Chicken-Eating Tarantula Discovered
Martin Nicholas, a water treatment plant salesman, who has a passion for searching for giant spiders, may have discovered a new species, the “Chicken-Eating Tarantula” (shown above). Nicolas found that the mother spider of this new species was about 10 inches across. This compares well with the record spider, which is 11.8 inches, for the Goliath spider of Venezuela. Martin Nicholas’ interview in Nature gives insights into how he heard about and tracked down this possible new species: It started a few years back with a letter from a friend in Peru who built power plants. He heard this story [...]
The Many Firsts of The Borneo Rhino Images
Dicerorhinus sumatrensis harrissoni Earlier on Cryptomundo, Craig Woolheater uploaded the video footage of the Borneo rhinoceros, here. Now the media is taking video captures from the footage and publishing them. Some who are not reading too carefully will think there is “new” news of the filming of a Borneo Rhino, but this is merely the continued cycling of an updated Reuters dispatch about the recent announcements from April. For example, The Daily Times of Pakistan for May 7, 2007, is reporting that the two-horned Borneo rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis harrissoni), a subspecies of the Sumatran rhino, has been filmed (see video [...]

The Heart of Darkness: Vanishings, Pygmy Elephants, and Mokele-Mbembe
Mokele-mbembe being killed by Pygmies; drawn by Bill Rebsamen and used with permission. As I write these words, there is news that an airliner from Kenya has crashed in the jungles of Cameroon. They can’t find the plane. They can’t find any survivors because they can’t find the plane. It has disappeared, perhaps near some small village some distance from Douala, which is a coastal hopping off spot into the jungle. Mokele-mbembe courtesy of Bill Rebsamen.

Maine’s “Fossilized Bigfoot Tracks”
These are images of Mainer Tom Martin’s “fossilized Bigfoot tracks” as noted in the blog, “Ah, Bigfoot and ME”. See that posting for more details.
Ah, Bigfoot & ME
Photograph by Joseph Citro. The abbreviation for the State of Maine is “ME.” As fate would have it, Lewiston Sun Journal reporter Kathryn Skelton has a feature article about Maine and Bigfoot today, entitled creatively, “Bigfoot & ME.” It happens to have a large photo of me at the top of one section of the story. Here’s an excerpt of some of what Skelton writes about in this Saturday’s news article. It contains various things that have only a little to do with the critical examination of Bigfoot sightings in Maine. Some words are not even worth repeating, so here’s [...]
