The transparent-headed Pacific Barreleye spends much of its time motionless, at more than 2,000 feet (600 meters) beneath the ocean’s surface. The green lens atop each of the fish’s eyes filters out what little sunlight makes it down from the surface, allowing the fish to focus on the bioluminescence of small jellies or other prey passing overhead. Then the eyes rotate forward to follow the prey, allowing the fish to home in on its meal. [...]

Fishers and scientists announced this week the catch, and release, of what is likely the world’s largest known freshwater giant stingray. The giant stingray, weighing an estimated 550 to 990 pounds (250 to 450 kilograms) was reeled in on January 28, 2009, as part of a National Geographic expedition in Thailand. The stingray’s body measured 6.6 feet (2 meters) wide by 6.9 feet (2.1) meters long. The tail was missing. If it had been there, [...]

Ok, well to be honest the Guardian does have a point, the recent photo of an alleged 100 foot long snake cruising a river in Borneo has sparked huge debate and more importantly concern for locals living along the river – but it is “probably” just a fake, isn’t it? Helen Pidd, author of Borneo’s 100ft snake stretches the truth, seems to think it’s definitely a fake and makes a point of saying, “The Guardian is not the first to point out a few problems [...]

A couple allegedly spotted the large animal cross the road while they were driving at the weekend (possibly Saturday afternoon). They stopped their car at the spot where the creature entered the hedge and looked in – too their surprise a large cats face was looking back at them! I know the approximate location, but nothing else at the moment – but I am hoping to speak to the witnesses this afternoon and visit the [...]

A massive rat weighting six ponds with a 12-inch tail has been caught in Fuzhou, a city on China’s south coast. The rat was caught by a Mr Xian, who apparently saw a large crowd of people surrounding the monster in the street. He told local newspapers he thought it might be a valuable specimen, so mustered up the courage and grabbed it by the scruff of its neck. Mr Xian then shouted “I did [...]

I am saddened and shocked to hear that an old friend of mine, David Kingston, died yesterday. David has been a UFO researcher since 1976, and claims he first saw UFOs (Ords) while serving with the Royal Air Force in this country, America, the Pacific and the Far East.  In the late 80′s he began to investigate Crop Circles for a possible link after reports of spheres of light were seen hovering over fields prior [...]

Popular Mechanics has an interesting  U.S. Map of the Top UFO Hotspots. Also, if you think you have see a UFO, they have a handy suggestion list of What to do before you report a UFO: Is it Venus? Still a common mistake. A Military Exercises? Probably, although the military will never confirm nor deny! Or is it an Earthlings Ship i.e. satellites and spacecraft. Last week Popular Mechanics published the hugely popular 6 Top-Secret Aircraft that are Mistaken for UFOs, [...]

A 58 year old man from New Orleans had a surprise when he checkout a noise in his mothers backyard – instead of finding a Raccoon going through the trash, Carl Henderson discovered a Serval Wildcat. When Carl Henderson stepped into the backyard of his mother’s Uptown home Tuesday at mid morning, he was checking out a neighbor’s report of raccoon playing about. He found something quite different. Henderson encountered what looked like a small cheetah, 22 pounds and [...]

In my office I have a small mountain of boxes that contain all sorts of weird and wonderful material. Yesterday I sat down and went through one of them trying to catalogue the contents. I failed miserable because I ended up reading everything instead of just organising it in to categories. What I did find though, was an interesting sighting of Caddy from a 1963 copy of Space Review. Cadborosaurus or ‘caddy’ as it is more commonly [...]

Talk about hype and conspiracy theory! At some point yesterday I received an email saying Atlantis had been found on Google Earth! Unbelievable I thought as I rushed to launch Google Earth and enter the coordinates 31 15’15.53N 24 15’30.53W – to my surprise it indeed did look like a road or street system on the sea bed. But, after zooming in and out a bit to get my bearings, I realised that if this [...]
