OLL LEWIS: Yesterday’s News Today

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

On this day in 1531 Saint Juan Diego is said to have seen the first of his visions of the Virgin Mary, which has become known as ‘Our Lady of Guadalupe’ on a hill near Mexico City. Also on this day in 1965 the Kecksburg UFO incident occurred when a fireball was seen streaking across the skies of North America. The object crash-landed in woods near Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, USA and witnesses reported that it was almost as big as a Volkswagen Beetle and had funny writing like Hieroglyphs on the side. The original explanation given by the American Air force was that it was just a meteor and no debris was ever found; however, in December 2005 NASA released a statement confirming that it had actually been a downed Russian satellite and they had examined the debris at the time.

Interesting, eh? Now for something else just as interesting: the Fortean zoology news headlines, which contains the 2000th news story posted on the news blog, so three cheers for Gavin for all his hard work:

Cougar seen roaming Vadnais Heights; residents advised to be cautious in a.m.
Jack Black Hunts Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster With New Animated Movie
NASA tests Aberdeenshire find for life on Mars clues
Exotic pets seized from high-rise
Polish Police in Panther Prank
Pictured: Mythical white stag found in the forests of Gloucestershire
Moko trapping young women, dropping in on surfers
Dinosaur-killing impact set Earth to broil, not burn
Cat passport has Brand feline fine

To be honest I’ve always found his ‘brand’ of comedy somewhat lazy and unfunny, so I do hope he settles in the States so British telly will be rid of him.
