CRYPTOZOOLOGY ONLINE: On The Track (Of Unknown Animals) Episode 26 - November 2009

He looks like "giant haystacks"!!!

[blancouitgouda]

keep up the great work guys

i love the unknown

[hyperseauton]

I am with you all the way that conventional science cannot explain a lot of phenomena.

I link to an excellent video with physicist David Bohm on the subject:

[BobMonkfish]

If "conventional science" had explained the phenomena, then it would cease to exist. Science's proper aim (when not abused) is to expand the boundaries of human knowledge.

[hyperseauton]

Stephen Fry and Mark Cawardine have been on the track of endangered animals...unknown or endangered, sadly almost the same thing these days.

[asubjectiveopinion]

There's been a recent siting of a hairy hominid on Seram in Indonesia, all the more remarkable because Seram is historically devoid of primates. It sounds remarkably similar to descriptions of the Orang Pendek, right down to being described as 'chimp-like'.

The case is in the latest FT.

[snufflehog]

I'm with Richard. I think an expedition to look for the thylacine would be a splendid idea.

[BobMonkfish]

I hope the CFZ will do this. After all, it's their logo, and pretty likely to exist IMHO. But in Tasmania, or somewhere in remote Continental Australia? That's the question.

[EoceneRoxton]

or on any of the isolated islands near tasmania.

[BobMonkfish]

My hunch is that the main island or continental Australia are better bets. Simply a bigger habit, which would mean less inbreeding and more food (the ones in Tasmania were apparently very inbred according to genetic studies). If they eat shellfish or fish (do they?) then that might broaden the possibilities.

Richard Freeman and I have the same favorite cryptid.

I do believe I see a rare species of black and white wolf at the beginning of that film. I hope you do get it analyzed to see what it exactly is.

My guess is it is the rare magpie wolf from Northumberland and the Borders, known for moving vast flocks of sheep rather than preying upon them.

i seen a special on rods and they had video of insects that looked just like them so thats what i believe they are.

[mrhyde63]

thanks for the reply , i have seen various vids of the rods they seem like underwater creature's certainly a puzzle .

[BobMonkfish]

Most rods are insects. That's been pretty successfully proven. I'm not saying that they all are, but I think the majority are. Just like orbs. Haven't folk heard of lens flares, problems with film etc?

@BobMonkfish you have to understand the technologies and how to differenciate the real from fake, go study it if u want to be the almighty 1 who proves or disproves this

[BobMonkfish]

@41312111, I have been using cameras since I left my pram... Most of the things which get called orbs, rods etc are fairly obviously due to bad photography. I'm not saying that they all are, but the vast majority are. Fast objects blur/distort/elongate on slow exposure film.

[41312111]

i know what u mean, but why say anything?

[mrhyde63]

great show cfz ,whats your take on flying rods?

[cfztv]

I have always been fascinated by them. Jose Escamilla is an old friend of mine, and he convinced me 10 years back..
