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...

Where do all these videos come from?




I want to know where these YouTube videos come from, and why they become so unaccountably popular. Over a million and a half people have seen it, or so it would seem. However, the art of spamming YouTube is apparently not as difficult as one might have thought.

As far as I can tell, this rather unpreposessing video shows a plastic bag floating in the wind, but the blurb which accompanies it (from someone called Ian Donaldson - a name with some very unfortunate connotations) reads:

I was sent this INCREDIBLE video from a guy in Hamburg. You won't believe your eyes. These guys were joking around filming each other in his car when they captured this really strange flying "creature" in the background. I have no idea what it is - they have suggested its angel....I'm not quite sure what to think..have a look for yourselves!!!

Another even less impressive video from the same bloke which concists of a blurry shape in a mirror in the background of a video of a bunch og German teenagers singing links us to www.fallenwings.org but as you will see this URL is just one of the multipurpose ones splashed across the web that don't seem to actually do anything.

So why is someone using the name of a dead Nazi skinhead purporting to show people videos of angels? This is all getting rather peculiar and I would quite like to know the answer.
