Some companies (see video link) will even come out to your house and paint your lawn for you. I’ve heard some weird and wonderful things in my time, but I can’t really get my head around this - surely if the grass is dull and yellow, it’s because it’s dying and needs watering – not painting!

An unidentified flying object photographed over Bournemouth has been dubbed a military Thunderbird! The photograph, taken by professional photographer Mark Wild, has been likened to the space ship Thunderbird 3 as it appears to be a similar orange/red colour. The picture has caused quite a stir amongst UFO experts, as it was taken during the day and appears to show the structure of the object, which is a classic UFO shape. This is in contrast to the usual UFO photos, which are normally taken at [...]
Below is short list of some of the most endangered mammals on this planet. Some are so rare that they have already been classed as extinct! It’s difficult to stop progress, especially in developing countries, but a much greater understanding of the environment and the wildlife that lives around us needs to happen NOW, before any more species disappear. Once they have gone, that is it, we will never see them again! 1. Yangtze River [...]

Mega-snake fossil found in Colombia The fossilised remains of the world’s largest snake, a 15-metre, one tonne behemoth that included crocodiles among its favourite foods, have been found in a coal mine in northern Colombia. Titanoboa - about the length of a bus, lived in the rainforest of north-east Colombia 58-60 million years ago. The snake was so wide it would have reached up to a person’s hips, say researchers, who have estimated that it weighed more [...]

The jury still seems to be out on this one. Was it a UFO or was it something less exciting like ice that made one of the blades fall off a giant wind turbine in Louth Lincolnshire? Lights were definitely seen by more than one person, but unfortunately no proof has been found to prove either story so far…
A new crypozoology “flap” (quit literarily) is taking place. A flying monster has reportedly be snapped by an amateur photographer at a Macachín airport in La Pampa, Argentina. It does look a bit odd and could easily be some kind of flying animal, but it could also be one of a hundred other things, a propeller for instance – it was taken at an airport! The amateur photographer Fabian Romano said he spotted the fast-moving “being” but was only able to [...]
