Marcus H has a wild talent: like a hound after truffles, he unearths long lost images of globsters. He recently unearthed trunko. Now he does it again. He writes:The Tasmanian Globster was a large unidentified mass that washed ashore in Tasmania in August 1960. In 1962 a team of scientists visited the area and got tissue out of it for an analysis. The carcass was later identified as a whale by L.E. Wall what was confirmed through a following electron microscopy analysis of the collagen fibres.
Nice piece of history for those not old enough to see it 1962 on TV (like
myself):

This blasted recession is really beginning to hit. Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today... 
Richard Freeman's remarkable new book is now available. However, for some reason known only to themselves amazon.co.uk have listed it as taking 3-5 weeks to arrive.

This was only a coincidence on my search for another old video of the "pseudo-plesiosaur" of Querqueville. This recently was broadcasted (once again) from Franco-German TV network Arte in a documentation called "Cryptopuzzle (which showed also other interesting pieces for example of Sherlock au Zoo).
Fortunately I also found this video ("Un monstre marin") and I learned that there's also another one ("Le cadavre d'un monstre marin est venu s'echouer sur la plage de Querqueville"). Unfortunately (regarding the second one) there's no preview and I know no documentation it was broadcasted. Unnecessarily to say I would be interested if anyone has further informations.
I forgot to mention that regarding the Tasmanian Globster that I found after the video also one picture.
The user BlackCloud has uploaded an video of the Tasmanian Globster of 1960/1962 to YouTube two years before I found the video presented with this posting. But as it seems nobody with knowledge on Globsters noticed it.
