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...

LLOYD PYE WRITES:

A new video is available for viewing on the Starchild website (see link below). It is 9:51 of highlights from a lecture filmed by Jonathan Kerr-Smith in London. It briefly covers some background issues, but focuses strongly on the latest genetic developments, hopefully making clear their historic importance.

http://www.starchildproject.com/

In addition to the video, below is a message from our geneticist to make clear what we have and what we hope to do with it when we secure the money we need to proceed. If you know any millionaires who might have open minds, and whom you can personally contact on our behalf, please let them know we're still looking for our investor. We'll be happy to provide to them proof of our project's legitimacy, and its outstanding prospects for return on investment.

"Sequencing the Starchild's genome from the bone samples is technically similar to what has been done with the Neanderthal genome, with the great advantage that any kind of contamination, including human DNA, can be easily ruled out by comparison with existing databases of genome sequences. What we seek are stretches of sequences that are not even similar to any existing species from the animal kingdom. Essentially, we are looking for DNA proof of a new, previously unknown, species. We already have several stretches of such DNA that does not show any similarity to species within the animal kingdom. Yet the final conclusion about a new species can be accomplished only when we recover DNA sequences that can be translated into a protein with a predictable function."

As you see, he's saying we definitely have proof that part of the Starchild's nuclear DNA is not found within Earth's animal kingdom. Unfortunately, his discovery is only partial, not yet enough to slam the lid shut on skceptics. But that is coming. When he has the entire genome in hand, enough to translate some sequences into never-before-seen proteins, that will nail the lid tight and change history forever. It is within our grasp to do that right now. All we need is help finishing the job that is already well underway.

LETTER FROM LLOYD PYE

To my London area and/or UK friends:

First, this is a reminder that I'm going to be lecturing in two days; on Saturday, at the London University Union hall, which is on Malet Street. Get out of the Goodge tube station and turn left for a block, then turn right and you'll find it. It starts at 1:30pm and it will be well worth any effort you have to put into going, I promise. It's a thorough and clear explanation of why we are at long last (10 years!) solidly in position to prove beyond any shadow of scientific doubt that the Starchild is indeed a human-alien hybrid.

Secondly, even if you can't come on Saturday, keep your eyes peeled for The Daily Mail on Tuesday or Wednesday (firmly tentative as of right now) that will be dealing with the Starchild in a major investigation. It's being written by one of their top feature writers, Dr. Danny Penman, who is a Ph.D. biochemist. From the tone of our conversations over the past couple of days, I think he will do right by us.

I hope you all can make it but if not, at least tell any of your London-based friends who might be able to and who might be interested in learning a LOT more about this remarkable subject.

Lloyd

JON DOWNES WRITES: My position with regards to Lloyd is similar to my position with regards to the work of Greg and Mike Warner. I have known Lloyd for a decade now and think the world of him. He is a sweet southern gentleman and completely sincere; however, despite the fact that I think that the skull is of immense cryptozoological importance, I think that it is about as alien as I am....

RICHARD AND GRAHAM ON THE STARCHILD..

Richard: In so far as I can see there is no cause what so ever to associate the 'Star Child' skull with 'aliens'. For a start despite it's differences it is still too much like a human skull to be the product of another planet's evolution. I call this the Star Trek syndrome after the dull, huimanoid aliens in this un-imaginative series (not a patch on Dr Who with it's genuinlely alien looking aliens). The chances of anything evoloving on another biospher that looks remotly human are astronomical. Most of the public have a very Victorian view of evolution, that it is constantly trying to improve organisms and make them more intelligent. In this system man is at the zenith with the 'lower' creatures such as mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and so on beneath them.

Evolutions just dosn't work like that. It adapts organisms to best fit in with the enviroment at that perticular time and place not to human ideas of what is best. A case in point are suropod dinosaurs. As their necks grew longer it became harder for their harts to pump blood up to the brain. As an adaption their brains grew smaller so they needed less blood. This is an invertion of how the public expect evolution to work.

I think the Star Child skull is much more important than any 'little grey man'. It think it may be the skull of a rare and unkown form of homonid, an unkown relative of modern man, perhapse one adapted to a nocturnal existance. The recent discovery of Homo floresiensis in Indoneasia shows that this is far from imposable.

The new world is full of legends of small, hair covered creatures that go by many different names. In Guyana we heard many stories of a race of tiny homonids all across the country. We met many witnesses to these creatures.

I think that what we have here may be evidence for one of our closest relatives and that is far more exciting than twice told tales of flying saucers and alien 'gods' hybridizing with mankind.


Graham: Although I didn't then (and don't now) believe that the "Starchild Skull" is of extraterrestrial origin, I was still interested in attending Lloyd Pye's lecture on the subject. While Pye explained how the skull was found in a mine near Chihuahua, central Mexico, our eyes kept returning to the skull, on a nearby table. Pye then revealed that what we were seeing was a replica, the original being considered too valuable to cart around as a stage prop. So any hippies or mystics who were hoping to experience a "cosmic vibe" from touching a mysterious artefact were out of luck. The main thing I learned is not to use cigarettes as measuring references when taking photographs. A graduated ruler would look a lot more professional!
