WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

An update from our old mate Lloyd Pye on the latest developments with the `Starchild Skull`. I first met Lloyd ten years ago this summer, and whilst I disagree with his conclusions, there is no doubt that what he has is a fascinating, and possibly unique, cryptozoological specimen...

Because we used a new server for the Starchild Project's mailing list, a lot of them have been caught in anti-spam filters. I'm resending this to make sure at least my friends see it. If you already have it and have read it, then just delete this one. If you're not on the mailing list, please visit the Starchild website and sign up. I won't do it this way any more. This is much too time-consuming. Thanks for your consideration!


Everyone:

1. Update on one-hour Starchild skull documentary

2. Starchild skull to be featured on "UFO Hunters"

3. Upcoming article in Nexus Magazine

4. 100 copies left of hardback book

5. Starchild skull website has been updated

6. Note about "Everything You Know Is Wrong"

1. As we enter this potentially momentous new year, things are
accelerating with the Starchild skull. The last update announced that
a British TV documentary company had committed the $200,000 needed to
pay for the Starchild's DNA to be tested by the highly sophisticated
protocol developed by 454 Life Science technology. This test will be
done during three to four months in the middle of the year, and the
finished film will be shown on TV around the world in the latter part
of 2009. That hour-long special is still on track and looking good at
this point.

2. This coming weekend, on Sunday, January 18th, we'll be in Houston
filming a segment of the popular History Channel show, "UFO Hunters."
We'll be one segment among several that will examine the question of
Grey aliens. I'm told the finished episode could be broadcast as soon
as March or April of this year.

3. More widespread publicity will come from an extensive "overview"
article in Nexus Magazine that I will write for its next issue, due
out in March-April, the same time as the "UFO Hunters" show is due to
be broadcast. So more good luck and good timing with that exposure.

4. The chips finally seem to be falling our way, so let me mention
that we have only about 100 copies left of the hardback first edition
of "The Starchild Skull." If you don't yet have a copy of it, please
take this last opportunity to get one. When we have the result we
know we'll get from the DNA test, all things Starchild will have an
automatic increase in value, and this book will be no exception. To
book collectors it will be worth considerably more than its $30.00
cover price (shipping included), so this is an investment as much as
a book purchase, and it tells a heck of a good story. The producer of
"UFO Hunters" told me it's the best written of all the UFO books he's
ever read while doing his job. That's high praise indeed, so if
you're interested please order it at www.starchildproject.com or
www.belllapbooks.com.

5. If you go to the Starchild website you will notice that it has
been completely updated.

6. For those many of you who have asked when the revised version of
"Everything You Know Is Wrong" will be ready, I am 1/3 of the way
through it and trying hard to get to the end of it. I deeply regret
letting it lapse out of print last year, but I truly thought I'd be
finished with it by now. If you can stay patient, I will keep
plugging away at it and it should be available in 2010.

I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season, and that the
economic meltdown has impacted you as lightly as possible. 10
trillion dollars seems to have gone somewhere, so I hope at least
some of it has found its way into your pockets.... ;-)

Last but not least, we've gone to a new system of mailing these
updates. If you've received this by accident and want to be removed
from the list, please use the links below. Thanks!
