Dear folks
Sometimes one thing leads to another in Fortean research and today is a case in point. I compiled my latest Muirhead`s Mysteries blog and sent it off to Jon today, Monday July 11th with a reference to a magazine called The Saucerian Review which had an article on a Hairy Beast in Hong Kong in its January 1956 edition. There are several strands of interest here. Did the magazine think this hairy beast was a kind of alien, because it left triangular “footprints”? Also, the magazine cost c. £60 on ebay and I think hundreds of pounds on abebooks.co.uk which I`m not going to spend. Also, apparently the chupacabra leaves triangular “footprints” ? Another issue – just how many more mystery animal reports from Hong Kong and elsewhere are hidden away in the depths of obscure and less obscure magazines of a UFOlogical nature?Does anyone out there own The Saucerian Review for Jan 1956 and if so please couldshe/he look this story up for me? I searched on the Hong Kong Online newspaper archive I know of but found nothing and I await a reply from the central library in Hong Kong for further information.
It is fortunate indeed Jon didn`t start writing the Mystery Animals of Hong Kong book 5 years ago as information is still turning up!
Yours sincerely
