Vancouver Island ufo?
The
Peoples Daily Online posted a series of UFO images yesterday under the alluring title of “
Are they real UFO images?“.
It’s difficult to really say if they are real, as it’s hard for many to agree on just what is genuine (that’s a genuine photo as opposed to a genuine unidentified flying object).
Anyway, out of the five pictures, the above photo looks the most intriguing. It is alleged to have been taken on November 25, 2005 from onboard a ferry that runs between Vancouver Island and mainland Canada.
Sheep eating Python
A Python too fat to escape capture has been found and photographed in Kuala Lumpur.
The Python had allegedly swallowed a pregnant ewe whole and was to big to move.
Snaky tails are nothing new, and this story reminds me of the Unbelievable but true…!!! 13 foot Python bursts open after eating a 6 foot alligator reported last November here on Cryptoworld.

[singlepic=33,200,,,right]There is news that there has been some ‘armed’ searches in Chile and Argentina for a hominoid creature said to be responsible for a spate of animal killings and attacks on humans.
The alleged creature, more commonly know as the Chupacabra is believed to be responsible for more than 200 animal mutilations, including some rather bizarre cases where chickens have had all of their blood sucked out of their bodies!
The Miami UFO Center learned of the searches by farmers in Chile, and by police near the city of Rosario in Argentina. last week, but they had not heard if there has been any searches since.
Temple visitors and devotees are mystified as to why a Pillar in the Devi temple (Agra) suddenly became unbearably hot.
Experts are not sure what caused the mystery, but it has been suggested it could be either a “leak in an electric wire” (never heard of a leaking electric wire before !?!), heating from gas storage below the structure or just a temporary phenomenon… yep, just a temporary phenomenon!
A mystery creature, possibly of the lake-monster kind has been blamed for the killings of three dogs, and the disappearance of another four, in a northern Manitoba reserve in Canada.
A team of people, including local Police, are searching for a mysterious ape (monkey) around Paphos, a coastal town along the southern tip of Cyprus.
It is thought to be a lost or even abandoned pet monkey or ape, but for those who have seen it, it is a mysterious phantom beggar!
A Capybara
A hue swordfish, normally found 3,000 mile away in the Mediterranean, has been caught in the North Sea off the coast of Britain.
Peter Dent, a trawler fisherman, was socked when the fish turned up in his nets. According to the UK newspaper the Mirror “I’ve certainly never caught anything like this before. I was just doing my normal drift-netting when I noticed this huge fish,” said Dent.
“I didn’t know what it was and at first thought it must have been a shark. When I brought it in, I realised what it was. I was absolutely amazed.” Peter added: “These waters are changing and you can get a few surprises these days.”
This is brilliant, it reminds me of a crazy idea a friend and I had when we were younger… although when I think about it, it wasn’t that long ago really, so we weren’t that much younger… scary!
William Lyttle, known locally as the Mole Man, from Hackney East London, has been ordered to stop digging holes under his house and the local neighbourhood.
Most of you by now would have heard about this years CFZ expedition to Gambia, in search of Dragons!
[singlepic=84,220,220,,right]One of the dragon-like beast they are searching for is locally known as Ninki-Nanka, which apparently translates as Dragon-Devil, but there is also some reference to suggest it could just mean Snake, that’s if you search around on the Internet and browse a few dusty cryptozoology books!
River and lake monsters are nothing new in Africa, in the Congo there are stories of a lake monster called Mokèlé-mbèmbé, in Zimbabwe there is the Chipekwe and in northern Angola there is the Isiququmadevu. But apart from a few sketchy descriptions, nobody really seems to know what the Ninki Nanka looks like. So below, we have collected together some info to try and help explain what the Ninki-Nanka really looks like.
As mentioned above, the local name for the Gambian river and swamp monster is Ninki Nanka, which roughly translate as Dragon-Devil. It’s reputed to live along the Gambia River and in the uninhabited mangrove swamps and is usually only seen at night, when it is said to emerge from its lair and eat whatever lies in its path!
