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...

More news from the Storsjoodjuret Project


Summer expedition 2009

The time has finally come for our Summer expedition of 2009! A unique expedition is being performed during the 9th and 10th of july in order to explore the depths where the beast has been seen numerous occasions during the past years.

The expedition is located at Hoverberg. The mountain of Hoverberg has an interesting geology and holds Scandinavia´s largest rift cavern. According to geologist there is a possibility of a connection between the cave and the water of Storsjön and hopefully we will confirm these theories.

The equipment we are going to use is a Widescan Sonar from the company Deep Water Vision and a Seagoo ROV. A widescan Sonar is a device that sends out sound waves downwards in the water. The sound waves bounces of the bottom of the lake and returns to the device. In this way we can se exactly how the bottom of the lake is shaped. A Seagoo ROV is an underwater robot with a camera that we are going to use to, in detail, look at interesting things that the sonar has shown.

Time schedule for the expedition:

Thursday:
11.00 AM Press Conference
12.00 AM Lunch
13.00 PM - 16.00 PM Round I. Start of expedition
