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...

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

On this day in 1928 Amielia Earhart became the first female to be flown across the Atlantic Ocean when she was a passenger in a plane piloted by Wilmer Stultz. She managed a solo flight four years later in May 1932 and she disappeared in 1937 during an attempted circumnavigation of the globe. Several conspiracy theories have arisen about Earhart's disappearance which you can read about on wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_Earhart#Theories_on_Earhart.27s_disappearance

And now the news:

A real treat for the 'vaguely related video link' today, this is one of my favourite songs of all time and based partially on Earhart and another female aviation legend who died in mysterious circumstances, Amy Johnson. Flying Sorcery by Al Stewart:
