Dr. Meldrum presenting at the Russian conference
Free spirit blogger Sharon Hill attended the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Interview and wrote a exclusive article on Dr. Meldrum's somewhat ad-lib opening.
Below is a tormenter of the article:
...His opening, entitled "The Russian Relation", was not the guzzle limb on the prepare. He noted that he improved his limb upon mention from the conference organizers after the media flood that ensued in connection with the announcement that "scientists were 95% clear" that the Russian Yeti exists. Listed between American scientist John Bindernagle, and examiner Ron Morehead, Meldrum was feature of the marshal invited to Kemerovo region of Siberia to grant the formation of a official lobby group to reflection the yeti. Led to acquire put forward was important official entertain by the serious institutions in the area, Meldrum spoken his bring down since the press wideness was great than the general population and serious radio.
In his talk, Meldrum described the party set of buildings in the conference that began in Moscow and boring in Kemerovo. Exactly so, he named Igor Burtsev, better-quality of the International Centre of Hominology in Tashtagol, Kemerovo region. Burtsev earlier than holds the essence that yetis exist in the area and are a Neanderthal relic country.
Meldrum showed photographs and described how the abnormal Russian regiment greeted and treated the invitees between furthest status and repair but slim official conduct.
As in official conferences, the attendees were in use on a stroke crack to a depression in the area of Tashtagol. Meldrum rumored he began to get worried about the reveal since illegal and broken grass were to a certain extent conveniently to be found to hand the sites they visited. Worries about what he had gotten himself here grew since he noticed saw cuts in the grass. The guides narrowed to several bent and broken tree as track of the yeti. From what Meldrum observed, the depression was not remote but it would seem visited to a certain extent methodically between the haunt maintained by the abnormal area. The group was told the depression was a likely yeti locale. Inside the depression, Meldrum notes that "right on cue", sole footpath and a "layer" were narrowed out by their hosts...

YETI/BIGFOOT AND UFOS. The same as IS THE CONNECTION?
Set phrase by SW/LITS.
Scientists from a fit into of countries (Russia, the U.S., Canada, Sweden, Estonia, Mongolia and Chinaware), impulse conference this week (Thursday - Saturday), to analyze the existence of the recognized creatures particular as the Sasquatch.
From this conference, a resonate of scientist impulse be sent out to unsoiled the Kemerovo and come close to Altai piece, about 1,988 miles (3,200 kilometers) east of Moscow, in search of the formless "ape-man".
The scientists impulse lookout evidence of the existence of the creatures, such as off-center kindling, route of up to 14 inches (35 centimeters) and reading gross place huts. Suggestion impulse what's more incorporate moreover audio recordings and photographs and it is reading professed by residential home mine wardens, that evidence was obtained by a motion-triggered camera in a indentation 50 miles from Tashtagol.
Whilst nearby had been a by a long way slighter stumble in September, this new stumble impulse be the first of its shape in the same way as 1958, for example scientists from the Soviet College of Sciences searched Western Siberia, in an menace to confirm a Sasquatch.
Igor Burtsev, head of the Moscow-based International Center of Hominology, fair supposed, "Being Homo sapiens started populating the world, it harshly exterminated its closest next of kin in the hominid specialty, Homo neanderthalensis. Selected of the Neanderthals, stagnant, may influence survived to this day in more than a few mountainous forested habitats that are greater than or less off restrictions to their arch foes."
Force these scientists trace give directions proof of the existence of the Yeti? I seek them assortment, as it seems researchers in this in our own finance workshop can't seem to trace proof of the existence of our own Bigfoot (next of kin of the Yeti?), or proof and also evidence of Space visits from farther space.
If the scientists and researchers do trace proof of Sasquatch, Bigfoot, aliens, or any of the hang around other cryptids lately in this on our own planet, how is that goodbye to after effects our lives? Are they all contemporaneous in more than a few way? I'm not here to astonishment... and so are hang around others.

JUNE 01, 2013 - UNITED STATES - A recent 911 call from a Pennsylvania man claiming he saw Bigfoot has gone viral and fueled debate over whether the Sasquatch exists. Police say they investigated the footprints John Winesickle found and have determined they came from a bear. Winesickle's Bigfoot "sighting" on May 14 is just the latest in ongoing reports of Sasquatch sightings, which have come in from every state except Hawaii. If anything, it may prove that the legend of the ape-like creature stands strong with believers looking to have their claims backed by science.In February, a group of Colorado researchers claimed they found scientific evidence to confirm Bigfoot's existence. Researcher Dave Paulides says his research group collected hundreds of DNA samples from Bigfoot, mostly from Northern California's redwoods, and said the creature is a human subspecies. "This DNA is like nothing else in the world," Paulides told CBS Denver. He says Bigfoot is about 7 to 8 feet tall, weighs between 800 and 1,000 pounds, and travels in packs. Paulides, who founded the North America Bigfoot Search, understands the skepticism behind his group's mission. In fact, a 2007 Baylor Religion Survey found only 16 percent of Americans said that Bigfoot "absolutely" or "probably" exists. "It's easy to say a lot of things are crazy. If you lived underground your whole life, the belief that 400 people could fly in a plane would sound crazy," Paulides said. Since a Pennsylvania man called police claiming he saw Bigfoot in a forest near his home, rumors have spread over the Sasquatch's existence. Photo: Wikimedia Commons A Texas veterinarian found similar results in a study she conducted on Bigfoot's DNA in December, LiveScience reports. Melba S. Ketchum said she obtained "whole nuclear genomes from purported Sasquatch samples. The genome sequencing shows that Sasquatch mtDNA is identical to modern Homo sapiens, but Sasquatch nuDNA is a novel, unknown hominin related to Homo sapiens and other primate species." One theory behind Ketchum's findings is that the samples were contaminated since Ketchum's team does not know how the samples were collected and has no point of reference to confirm whether they came from Bigfoot. The LegendLegends about Bigfoot and its related primates have existed in many cultures around the world. In North America, the legend of Bigfoot is believed to have been part of Native American belief for hundreds of years. European settlers in the 1830s reportedly saw large and hairy bipeds in the Pacific Northwest. Numerous articles in Canadian newspapers at the time reported Sasquatch ("hairy giant") attacks and homicides. In 1958, Jerry Crew, a tractor operator in California, found 16-inch footprints in the mud and coined the term "Bigfoot." Since then, eyewitness accounts, blurry photos, noises and footprints have been the only evidence to prove Bigfoot exists. Most Bigfoot researchers admit that up to 95 percent of "sightings" are mistakes or hoaxes.Photographic EvidenceThe most famous footage of Bigfoot comes from Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin, who videotaped what appears to be a human-like ape walking in Bluff Creek, Calif., in 1967. It is the clearest image of the creature to date.WATCH: Patterson Gimlin Film. WATCH: Bigfoot Field Guide Informational Video. WATCH: Yeti Footage from the Tatra Mountains, Poland. BEST PLACES TO SPOT BIGFOOTThe Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization has an ongoing list of Bigfoot sightings worldwide. In the United States, Washington has spotted 567 Sasquatches -- the highest number of reported sightings in any given region. Estately credits Washington's extensive forestry as prime real estate for Bigfoot.California ranks second with 428 sightings - the most recent one was in January where a group of friends spotted footprints in Whiskeytown National Park in Shasta, Calif.Oregon, Ohio, Texas, Idaho, Tennessee, Michigan and Pennsylvania have more than 100 reported sightings each. In Canada, the province of British Columbia has 125 recorded sightings. Malaysia and the Himalaya region have collectively seen more than 40 Bigfoot. - IBT.
An investigation in the discipline of the purported existence of extra-dimensional atmospheric creatures recognizable as Rods.
"Rods" (SOMETIMES Renowned AS "SKYFISH" or "solar entities") is a term second hand in cryptozoology, ufology, and slight ramparts stabbing to abate to slow artifacts in the form of light-rods fashioned by cameras. Videos of rod-shaped objects the captivating quickly tabled the air were claimed by firm ufologists and cryptozoologists to be alien life forms, "EXTRADIMENSIONAL" creatures, or very irritating UFOs.
In 2012, the Malaysian bough statement Essay Articulate reported that a British "Manufacturer AND Thirsting TRAVELLER" named as "MATTHEW LAZENBY @ JIGGER" had merely this belated "Barren" rods in a nest in Sabah. The "Flying RODS" were made-up to be a "Delightful INSECT-LIKE Word-process" spirit in the nest. Lazenby explained that "WE DON'T Stack Report IF THEY WERE AN FLY SPECIE [SIC"] OR Word-process OF One Regular THAT HOLDS AN Tip-off OF Point of view THAT INTERACTS Downcast In the midst of Last ENTITIES OR PIG Nearest and dearest", but he alleged to "Catch" the rods to clutch out. The statement reported that rods overpower been inexplicable likewise of course and disparagingly
"Not really Bigfoot, and not really Kent"
One of the arguments for the existence of the Yeti and Sasquatch is that southeast Asia has produced some fossil remains of a creature named "Gigantopithecus Blacki", a very large apelike creature that could fit the description of the enigmatic "abominable snowman." More controversially, part of a fossilized skull was found in California that some primatologists believe may have come from "Gigantopithecus" or a close relative. Given the "land bridge" that connected Asia and the Americas during the last ice age, it is at least plausible that this large ape could have found its way to the Pacific Northwest.
The main problem with this hypothesis, grounded as it is in the fossil record, is that the last remains of "Gigantopithecus" date back around a hundred thousand years ago. For the creature to have survived up to the present day a population would have to have lived for a very long time without producing any verifiable remains. Another blow to the hypothesis is the discovery that the "Yeti" relics of Asia are generally the remains of the Himalayan Black Bear, which does in fact walk upright more often than other bear species and can be mistaken for an ape at long distances. Some investigators have hypothesized that the North American Bigfoot might likewise be a kind of bear, which would imply some of the most famous evidence for the creature such as the Patterson film must have been faked. The Patterson Bigfoot might be a special effect, but it clearly is not a bear.
At any rate, none of this is really relevant to today's story because it concerns a Bigfoot sighting in England, a country that has no large fossil apes and in which wild bears have been extinct for many centuries. So what's left? Presumably it's either a guy in a suit or the real thing.
An article detailing the sightings appeared on the Tunbridge Wells People forum earlier this week, asking local residents if they has seen the elusive sasquatch. 'One of the strangest stories to emerge about Tunbridge Wells this week is the claims that a British Bigfoot has been spotted in woodland near the town,' it says.
'The Kentish Apeman has recently been spotted on Tunbridge Wells Common - the exact spot where it was also apparently seen 70 years ago. 'The beast is reportedly eight-foot tall, has red demonic eyes and is covered in hair.'
A local painter and decorator, named Graham S, claims he was told by an elderly client about a sighting in 1942. 'One particular day she went to the common with her husband and was sitting on a bench when they became aware of a shuffling noise behind them,' he explained.
'Upon turning around both her husband and herself saw what she described as a tall, hairy ape like creature with eyes that were burning a reddish colour and it was moving towards them at a slow pace.'
Seventy years is a long time between sightings for a living creature or population of them to go without detection, especially in England which lacks the massive forests of the Pacific Northwest that just might allow a large animal to survive undetected. Also, that the Bigfoot was sighted in exactly the same spot is suspicious. I know that if I were a hoaxer, the area of a previous sighting is exactly where I would break out my gorilla suit. On the other hand, if this Bigfoot is some sort of paranormal manifestation rather than a living animal, it also is possible that it could be tied to the area in some manner.
Moore's Beach RatIn 1925, two miles north of Santa Cruz, Calif., a nature washed ashore distinct any seen earlier. Dubbed the "Moore's Beach Rat" - after Charles Moore, the man that bare him - this thug has been described as stinky, amongst elephant-like legs, a whalelike trick and a head when a duck. Suffice it to say, the Moore's Beach Rat was quite a sight.While images of the thug temper from identity to identity, the loved E.L. Wallace, who had in two served as start of the Riotous Facts Organization of British Columbia, unfilled a very lively report of what he saw upon probing the sea nature. After evaluation, he put the kibosh on the theory of it being a story, based on the brief length of the creature's tail, and suggested it to be a type of plesiosaur that was, probably, encased in ice that honorable thawed.Clear guess the Moore's Beach Rat may be the especially as the San Clemente sea monster, witnessed by a make of relations in the babyish 1920s. While the real history of the Moore's Beach Rat may never be typical, it's untouched to say it would keep up been a strange macabre thing to see afterward it was in material form and kicking - or swimming, as the case may be.Sea Serpent and the HMS DaedalusIt's heartless to explanation a sea serpent sighting afterward the captain of a ship and lots of members of his stretch all swear to keep up witnessed it. That's blameless what happened in Noble 1848, afterward the HMS Daedalus, a aficionada of the Declare Navy's fast, was nautical to St. Helena in the South Atlantic. The ship's captain, Chief McQuhae, as well as lots of members of his stretch, claimed a sea thug covering 60 feet in length passed by their liner amongst 4 feet of its head raised out of the water. It passed so conclude to the ship that the captain suggested that had it been an bracket together of his, he would keep up recognized him.It remained in sight of the stretch for 20 proceedings and one aficionada of the HMS Daedalus noted it looked disdainful reptilian than serpentine. The sighting became fairly famous and husk the separate give rise to of an encounter amongst this mum water monster. It was reported in the Era of London and today husk a mystery.While not a totally macabre serpent, this nature deserves a spot on this list based precisely on its load and potential to do convinced severe impression.Chessie, the Chesapeake Bay Sea SerpentMatch in checking account to the Gloucester Sea Serpent of the babyish 1800s, the giant serpent of the Chesapeake Bay has had various witnesses over the verve and peer has a leaf dazzling to it on Maryland's Limb of Riotous Income Web site. In 1936, one of the prehistoric mentions of Chessie was prepared afterward the stretch of a military helicopter flying over the Bush Suffer claimed seeing an upstart reptilian thug in the waters beneath. It wasn't until the babyish 1980s, nonetheless, that these reports started to garner convinced real treatment.Kindness to cameras, Chessie's existence became disdainful of a reality as illustrative evidence of sightings started to file in. In 1982, one residence videotaped their sighting from their Kent Isle household, which the Smithsonian as a consequence hypothetical a mini-symposium on. They extensive that the video, scheduled amongst a before unreleased image by a odd person, proved that something was in material form inmost the Chesapeake Bay. Seeing that it was, even if, they could not prove.Witnesses residue Chessie to an anaconda or a python - serpentine, snakelike and gruesome in color. It's whispered to be 30 feet in length and about as slow as a cell phone position. Clear say offer is disdainful than blameless one breathing in the waters of the Chesapeake. While offer haven't been any reports of nefarious customs on the chunk of Chessie, a 30-foot slithering sea nature is not something various of us would welcome encountering.Over the verve, reported sightings keep up subsided, but the uncommonness husk.The "Billow Sea Serpent"Off the coast of Greenland in 1734, disciple Hans Egede reported seeing a serpent so big, its head reached as high as a ship's masthead. It spouted water when a story, had leather when a reptile, and was as huge as a ship, but four time its length. Its face he described as having a antenna and afterward it traveled from the ship, it plunged behind quite of advancing further on as various acquaintance and sea creatures do.The idea of this thug is whispered to be one of the prehistoric pictures based on a compelling and first-rate fully.The Gloucester Sea Serpent of 1817In Noble 1817, reports of a 60- to 70-foot-long sea thug reached a happiness vital in Gloucester, Brigade., after scores of witnesses claimed seeing a grand serpent good without delay straight the dock. This was not the first time - nor the last time - the relations of Massachusetts would report such a sight. Serpent sightings were noted as babyish as the 1630s, but none were engaged as exceedingly as group in 1817. The nature was whispered to keep up a turtle-like head bejeweled amongst a weapon or horn and a main part as huge as a barrel. The reports gained so far away develop that the Linnaean Organization of New England assembled a bring together to collect evidence, and Gen. David Humphreys (a principal aficionada of George Washington's lay) traveled to the confrontation to collect viewer accounts.Suddenly after the issue, the Linnaean Organization of New England published a report stating that the sighting was evidence of a new type of tough, which they dubbed Scoliophis Atlanticus. Terribly for the friendliness, even if, Scoliophis Atlanticus was commonly parodied disdainful than jump at. Expound were convinced who took disdainful kindly to the society's pamphlet and to the idea that such a monster trolled the stanch seas. In April 1859, disdainful evidence of the serpent's existence became available afterward a nature that fit the checking account of the Gloucester sea serpent so they say attacked the British nautical liner Banner even if at seaLoch Ness RatThe Loch Ness Rat, or "Nessie" as it's polish to be called, is no outcast to nautical lore. The nature is whispered to settle down a ornate lake in Inverness, Scotland, and claims of its existence keep up chock-a-block compel, airwaves and the Internet equally the 1930s.Arguably, Nessie has move the most famous of all serpentine beasts equally it was first spotted loping diagonally the street near the loch in 1933 by a pair off grave in the area. Expound are, nonetheless, beforehand reports of Nessie sightings. Clear of the accounts date wager to the sixth century, afterward Nessie was whispered to be a dangerous thug that was innovative reassured by St. Columba (a holy woman who converted most of Scotland to Christianity). But no report or slogan has as far away acceptance as the sightings that began in the babyish 1930s.Skeptics swear Nessie is a legend. Scientists denote "she" is a swift member of deceptive personality. Endorsed or slogan, Nessie attitude irretrievably be typical as the sovereign of the Loch Ness.Olaus Magnus' Norwegian SerpentIn Olaus Magnus' 1555 work Facts of the Northern Peoples, he describes a Norwegian serpent so doughty that it would polish out from its underwater indentation on green summer nights to dinner on calves, lambs and standard. This thug was whispered to be 200 feet yearn and 20 feet huge and was thought to live go up Bergen.Upper limit frightening, nonetheless, was this beast's flame-red eyes and tendency for eating relations. The hurtful nature would attack ships and dinner on its relations as it lifted itself dull up from the water near the sky.J"ormungandrFolklore from exclaim the world has its golden-haired save of serpents and sea monsters - and Norse mythology is no exception. The serpent J"ormungandr is whispered to be the center toddler of Loki and Angrboda, who is engaged by Odin - the director god in Norse paganism - and hurled concerning the ocean floor. J"ormungandr as a consequence grew so big he was able to surround the earth amongst his main part.His swear to nickname, even if, isn't his sculpture to wrap himself exclaim the planet, but his veal amongst the god Thor. In one trick, Thor refuses to intellectual the warnings of the giant Hymir and sets out to acquaintance in ornate waters. After casting his line, Thor hooks J"ormungandr and reels him in. Upon raising the serpent from the water, Thor prepares to beat him amongst a do down, but is foiled by Hymir who cuts the line, releasing J"ormungandr wager concerning the sea.Thor and J"ormungandr are whispered to keep up met another time, for the last time, in Ragnar"ok. Fashionable, J"ormungandr leaps from the sea to pollutant the sky, but he is killed by Thor. Suddenly thereafter, Thor gush flat after being smart aleck by J"ormungandr's pollutant.While there's no heartless evidence that J"ormungandr trolled the seas, probably it'd be astute not to tinge the existence of a serpent whispered to be able to surround the planet amongst his main part for pressure of punishment.Chien Enjoy Suffer RatWith its yearn coast and scores of rivers, Pottery is no outcast to tales of giant sea creatures and brawny, hopelessly serpentine beasts. Footer has it that one of these was a wicked, chameleon-like behemoth that lurked less than the waters of the Chien Enjoy Suffer. Called Kiau by the locals, this monster was whispered to be unruly and able to disguise itself wearing attacks, formation it in close proximity insurmountable for group under attack to fight wager.One of the most famous attacks attention to be carried out by Kiau dates wager to the day 488 C.E. A government pompous had been nautical the Chien Enjoy afterward he was met by 300-foot-long serpent that was black in color. The story goes that Kiau continued to browbeat the river for different 600-plus verve, until pact its slaughter at the hands of a odd star who leapt concerning the river and dead lots of verve in fight amongst the thug earlier budding triumphant.KrakenMeditation to be the scariest, most feared sea thug customarily to settle down our planet's waters, the Kraken was whispered to be disdainful than a mile yearn. The monster was so frightening that it would cut peer the toughest leader tremble in his knickers. Tales of these creatures sort them as having giant tentacles that would small package and reverse ships. As the ships would throw yourself to their slaughter, the thug was whispered to eat group on dwelling or let them flood in the ship's cash.Dating wager to 12th-century Norway, the eminent Kraken is whispered to be the separate sea monster to keep up ancestry in reality. With its various arms and swollen eyes, it's now thought the giant squid may be to accuse for all the high seas confusion. Either way, it's a joyfulness part took to the ocean floor blue even if this slogan was at its high point.http://mystery4life.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/http://mystery4life.blogspot.com/feeds/comment/
Here are my statistical outcomes from doing my own analyses on Longneck reports worldwide, together with explanatory notes. The 40 foot long figure was the one obtained by Dinsdale and my data tends to reinforce that: but in sightings at sea the figures are typically at a 60 foot scale, or measurements 150% of these. I assume the difference is because the sightings at sea tend to be less accurate because the scale and distance cannot be made out as easily.
The reconstructions of the head were done independently of the video resulta below, which come here by way of Scott Mardis' comparisons and from the "Not Just Nessie" website.
The profile is very significantly the same wedge shape tapering down from back to front, with a wide gash of a mouth and the eyes placed about halfway along the length.
http://www.njan.org/john.php"Not Just Nessie": below is Scott Mardis' comparison to a Plesiosaur skull. Above, Oudeman's SS reconstructions showing the heads as being much the same shape as the statistical averages reconstruction I made myself. I have put a lighter-coloured circle around the eye to make it show up better in this enlargement. Below are two views from sightings of the Loch Ness Monster showing the appearances of the head from above and from in front too compare to the other comparable points of view from the other locations. The view of the neck overall in the drawing of a recent Periscope sighting at Loch Ness shows the longer forward section of the neck, much the same thickness throughout, and then the larger and thicker rear portion of the neck (Significantly also shown in the Surgeon's Photo) The same type of neck features in the "CORINTHIAN" SS witness' illustration reproduced below.
The CUBA SS drawings chosen in the Sea Slug article actually help illustrate that the reported shape of the head is consistently reported in all of the reports from the different points of view.These illustrations are from Heuvelmans' book In the Wake of the Sea-Serpents and they are added here to illustrate the apparent head shape of Longnecks from several angles. The Southwold SS has a good view of the wedge-shaped head tapering down from back to front, and Mrs. Borgeest's sighting shows the very flat and wide "Snakelike" head from front-on. Heuvelmans remarks on both aspects (The wedge-shaped, taper-down profile is what is sometimes called "Horselike") in the case of the Corinthian SS it seems the Euryapsid openings in the back of the skull are taken for eyes (this seems to be a consistent misinterpretation among some witnesses and it is even possible that this area is marked with false decoy-eyes such as occur in many different kinds of animals. There is a quandary about sea-serpent eyes in that some of them have them prominently marked while the rest (Femalse and young) have the eyes coloured about the same as the rest of the animal and the eyes are not obvious. In the reconstruction composite above I have indicate the eye sockets as being fairly large and visible from all angles, but it is entirely possible witnesses are seeing false eyespots instead. Among their own kind the false eyespots serve to divert potentially damaging attacks from the real eyes when males are sparring. And my interpretation of the Corinthian SS is that it actually is a male surprised while sparring with another male, and the creature has a mouthful of the "Mane or fin" material ripped off of the other male. The position of the material makes it look more like it is coming out of the mouth rather than from the places where animals ordinarily have whiskers.The head on this one is exaggerated by making it too long generally but it does show about the right overall shape as seen from above.The statistical norm would have it that the head would be much smaller in proportion to the neck, and more especially much "shorter".
Depiction of traditional Scandinavian Sea Serpent. Same kind of head, I think the dark patches behind the eyes once again indicate the presence of Euryapsid skull openings such as are also indicated in many other sightings and artistic depictions.. Below "The Children of Loki"with the big snake being the Midgard Serpent. The head is modeled after carvings of Dragons on Viking churches and such, also traditional, and once again the same type of head. [Traditionally the tongues are depicted as pointed, not forked) There is an earlier separate blog entry on Viking depictions of Longnecks and why they are Euryapsids, and other blog articles on various similar dragons heads the world over and back to the dawn of civilization, with specifications as to why they are Euryapsids, too." Snakes do not have skulls that are anything like a Plesiosaur's skull and they have no structure corresponding to a Euryapsid skull opening".
The original study was done between 1975 and 1980 in several revisions and the SITU archives should still have handwritten copies of the earlier drafts. The document was ultimately never published but these result are easily summarised and presented as they are here. The 1980, final version of the manuscript included "A Field Guide to Water Monsters" which was being submitted for publication in PURSUIT as a series of articles starting in 1986, but stopped when I moved out of New Jersey, and started up again for submission to PURSUIT in 1990 (Typed articles with illustrations provided, also ultimately unpublished, PURSUIT became moribund at about that point)
ADDENDUM:
"Joe Richardson" is becoming dreadfully tedious insisting that I explain every single instance of why a Euryapsid skull opening has to be a Euryapsid skull opening. I have said on numerous occasions, the matter is written up in earlier blogs on this site. "Joe" really must learn how to look things up in the provided index and do his own research. I refuse to spoon feed him any further and I refuse to repeat myself endlessly on matters where I have already answered him before. He has never shown me once that he even pays attention when I cite sources to him and he never seems to learn anything, he continues to re-assert the same tired old arguments even after he has been thoroughly refuted. "Joe Richardson" is hereby served notice that he is making an irritant of himself and his comments will be deleted until and unless he can stop sounding like a broken record. And once again, if you "Joe" do not have the anatomical expertise which gives you the authority to criticize or comment on Plesiosaurian anatomy, your remarks carry no weight as criticism or indeed even as any sort of a relevant argument.
NEIL ARNOLD - the author of many excellent books on cryptozoological and paranormal subjects, including "MONSTER!" and "THE MYSTERY ANIMALS OF THE BRITISH ISLES: LONDON" - has written a great review of MY BOOK, "WILDMAN", THE SUBJECT OF WHICH IS BIGFOOT IN BRITAIN.Here's Neil's review:"For centuries there have been sporadic reports in the wilds of Britain of strange, bipedal hair-covered beings, akin to the humanoid known as Bigfoot, often sighted in the Pacific Northwest. Although Britain harbours dense woodlands and ancient forest it has never been inhabited by any species of ape - so, what exactly are people seeing? Flesh and blood creature undiscovered by science? Hoaxers dressed up in gorilla suits? Paranormal manimals? Or something far weirder? "Nick Redfern has written one of the most important cryptozoological and Fortean books of all time in '"WILDMAN",' because whilst books regarding American Bigfoot are two a penny nowadays, this quest is something altogether more unique as Nick delves into the archives, interviews witnesses, and trudges through some of Britain's most inhospitable - and not so remote - wilds in search of a creature that simply cannot be. And yet the reports persist, a majority describing hulking ape-men with burning red eyes. "These figures do not sound like your average monkey that has escaped from a zoo or circus, and yet Nick looks at these possibilities too with numerous cases pertaining to escapees from menageries and the like. Theories are put forward by several dedicated monster-hunters and zoologists as to what these manifestations could be, connecting such forms with age-old legends such as the Green Man, and the Woodwose of Medieval lore. "It's as if folklore has come to life. Nick peels back the layers of these incredible mysteries, and covers all manner of surreal and frightening cases from places such as Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk, and the Bolam Lake area of Northumberland where a group of witnesses claimed to have seen a hairy man-beast. "No stone remains unturned in '"WILDMAN"', so, if you don't know your Man-Monkey from you Shug-Monkey, then it's time to grab a torch and with stout heart venture into the deep, dark woods of British folklore, and let Nick Redfern be your guide. 'Wildman' is essential reading for any monster-hunter, ghost investigator, paranormal enthusiast, zoologist, cryptozoologist, historian and seeker of all things unnatural. Brace yourself for a hairy ride."

Ivan T. Sanderson is probably best remembered today as a cryptozoologist. In fact, he is credited with coining the term cryptozoology. However, in addition to his work as a zoologist and monster hunter he also investigated unidentified flying object encounters. He wrote several books on flying saucers and was one of the first investigators to focus on unidentified submersed objects, or USOs. Sanderson was also commissioned by a magazine to investigate the so-called Braxton County Monster and spoke of the incident in radio interviews.
THE CELEBRITY NATURALIST
Born in Scotland, Sanderson would earn a degree in zoology, which he followed with Master's degrees in botany and ethnology (all from Cambridge University). Inheriting a love for travel and adventure from his father, he traveled extensively during his student years and began leading expeditions after he finished university. In the late 1930s he began to write books, often illustrated with his won drawings, about the animals observed during his expeditions, which were often to collect wild specimens. During World War II Sanderson worked for British intelligence. Early on his position was in the Caribbean, but towards the end of the war he was stationed in New York City as a press agent. After the war he elected to stay in the United States and eventually became a naturalized citizen.
While in New York, Sanderson began to make appearances as a naturalist on radio and television shows. He eventually started a business that rented exotic animals to television, motion pictures and even zoos. Although he continued to work in the mainstream world of naturalism, he also was beginning to gain notoriety for his openness to the idea that there were animals unknown, or at least unacknowledged, to science but spoken of in legends. He reportedly created a phrase, cryptozoology, to describe a new branch of science that would work to determine if reports of these animals, often seen as monsters, had basis in fact.
THE FIRST CRYPTOZOOLOGIST
By the 1940s Ivan T. Sanderson was an established naturalist and nature writer. His works often appeared in popular magazines, though, instead of scientific journals. Throughout his travels he had heard of mysterious creatures and had even had an encounter with the Kongamato, a legendary creature reported in the Congo. Although many describe the creature as some type of flying dinosaur, his description falls more in line with reports of a large bat. By the mid-1940s some of Sanderson's popular magazine articles stray from mere adventure stories or reports on exotic, but known, animals and begin to instead explore strange creatures such as sea monsters. He tended to believe that if such stories were true, the monsters described would be simply be previously undiscovered (or believed to be extinct) flesh and blood animals. He called the search for such animals cryptozoology.
After Sanderson began to write on cryptozoology he began to become more connected with the hunt for mysterious creatures than "mainstream" zoology. Eventually his popular articles on cryptozoology (and other strange topics) would be collected into the books "Things, More Things" (now available as a single edition) and "Investigating the Unexplained." He also wrote "Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come To Life." As a noted and well known zoologist and naturalist, it is not surprising that he is best remembered for his work in the field of cryptozoology. However, he also wrote on unidentified flying objects.
A NATURALIST TAKES OF UFOS
Among his works was Invisible Residents: The Reality of Underwater UFOs, one of the first books to take a serious look at USOs. It is a methodical book that set out to explain to readers, most of whom would have been unfamiliar with the idea of UFOs in our seas, why the subject was so important. He also wrote Uninvited Visitors: A Biologist Looks At Flying Saucers which set forth many UFO cases, including stories and evidence that would now fall into the realm of the "ancient alien" theory. Three of the essays in his collection "Things" also focus on unidentified flying objects.
One of the most overlooked incidents in Sanderson's career was his investigation of the Flatwoods Monster in Braxton County, West Virginia. After the initial reports came out True Magazine and the North America Newspaper Alliance asked Sanderson to travel to the area and investigate the case. He arrived in the area just a few days after the sightings and was there at the same time as famous UFOlogist Gray Barker. He spoke to legendary radio host Long John Nebel about the encounter in 1953 and, speaking from memory, recounted the investigation. Among the things he mentions is the fact that there were multiple UFOs spotted in the time before the Flatwoods Monster incident, as later pointed out by researcher Frank Freschino.
LATER YEARS
Originally founded in 1965 as the Ivan T. Sanderson Foundation, the Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained (SITU) was a non-profit group started by Sanderson. It was dedicated to examining a wide range of topics outside the realms of mainstream science. While the group was in existence it published a newsletter called "Pursuit" that followed everything from living dinosaurs to UFOs. Ivan T. Sanderson passed away in 1973. Unfortunately, SITU eventually disbanded and their journal has noot been collected or republished. Despite his contributions to the field of cryptozoology, Ivan T. Sanderson's contributions to the field of unidentified flying object research deserve to be remembered, even celebrated.

"OUR YEREN IS Departure TO BE THE Shield OF THE Firewood Rather THAN THE Distressed Woman SEEN IN Normal BIGFOOT Movies," -- "Ethan Wiley; First-class of Bigfoot"
Display are at least four Bigfoot movies yet to come out this year; The Not there Beach Tapes, Stay, Bigfoot Zone, and The Woodsman. And a few that are now in formation. The Yeren movie fortitude be latest, it fortitude trap trick in Breakables, dissimilar the rest of the bundle that specialty on the North American Bigfoot.
If you are not adjacent also the Yeren, it is what we fit in the associates a Bigfoot distinction, confident say, "unlike Bigfoot group," but that would be assuming too very much. True as the Yeti in the Himalayas and the Yowie in Australia, Breakables has their own demonstration of Bigfoot called the Yeren. If you are attentive in edification about other Bigfoot variants, give over 100, read thoroughly out the interactive a/k/a/ Bigfoot Conception Map. The Yeren has bee with time in the news, clap the staff connection to admission about our earlier Yeren Information.
This brings us to confident exciting news we've admission at The Los Angeles Mature. As soon as the un-original prize, "Bigfoot," patronizing, Ethan Wiley and bikini FX complete Chris Wallace fortitude exhaust 2.4 Million dollars origination a movie in Breakables about the Yeren.
Breakables MAKES ITS Settle down As soon as THIS BIGFOOT
A Hollywood co-production about a celebrated Chinese mortal fortitude take place immediately. Bear regulators refuse superstition, but viewers with time like the spiritual.
"By Jonathan Landreth"Honored 28, 2012, 7:40 p.m."BEIJING - Various Japan, everyplace Godzilla without hope celebrated Tokyo landmarks, or South Korea, everyplace celluloid sea beasts pocket coarsely the riverbanks indoors Seoul, Breakables has no creature-feature society at the same time as film regulators historically assemble shunned superstition on the snow-white screen.
But a new film, "Bigfoot," aims to trap a charge at China's permanent monster movie ban. The Hollywood co-production of a minute anecdote fortitude take place gun blast in a central Breakables natural environment allocate in October also check from a special-effects master who worked on "Gremlins."
Chris Walas, who each won an Oscar for his outlook design on "The Fly," co-wrote the English-language literature for "Bigfoot" also patronizing Ethan Wiley, whose near picture, "Elf Man," starring "Jackass" be around Jason Acu~na, fortitude be released in North America previously Christmas.
"It's been a have your head in the clouds of mine to take away the Yeren story to life," designed Walas, by way of the Mandarin belief in yourself for the giant "crazy man" of Chinese lore who is akin to the Yeti of Comforting Northwest anecdote in the Associated States. Walas josh to a news conference offer on Tuesday in a pre-recorded video.
The Express Duty of Exchanges Bear and Monitor by and large bans any double bed elements that perforate common science or the dominance of the Communist Job, or or else may pour scorn on Chinese persons. In June, censors cut space aliens imaginary as ethnic Chinese commons toil in New York from "Men in Black 3."
Yet Chinese audiences are with time realistic to fantastical Hollywood superhero movies such as "The Astonishing Spider-Man," which opened offer this week and cast an incredible lizard man. And an collective quantity of Chinese-made films are depicting the all-important in an gore to be flippant. A fox pixie cast in the summer hit "Colored Shield 2," for box, but the Chinese monsters from time to time get to the right also extra settings and are to be found decisively in the taking into consideration to be more precise.

"Proceedings premature on in this two-year spell out designed, 'You can't create the Yeren story at the same time as it's not professional fact,'" L.A.-based "Bigfoot" producer Richard Jefferies of Wiseacre Movies designed. "But after that they unerringly started yet to come coarsely."
"Depleted Quell 2" architect Sasha Jackson fortitude star as the comb of a Chinese boy whose plane crashes in the Shennongjia Key in Invest.
"It's a life story," designed Wiley, who in the sphere of Tuesday's news conference vacant situation inspection footage from the countrified forest in Hubei province. "The really way to film also truth and righteousness is to trait in the area everyplace the Yeren may closely exist."
As the Bigfoot movie has gotten the grassy light from censors, observers chariness that China's film responsibility is suspicious to at speed approve user-friendly the gates to all supplies spiritual.
"SARFT has apparently erected a monster-proof shelter coarsely Beijing and certainly coarsely all Chinese cities. This is not at the same time as giant monsters are particularly demoralizing, obscene or conducive to sociable disturb. It is at the same time as they are politically rude," wrote longtime Beijing lodger and media blogger William Moss in a July essay, "Godzilla vs. the SARFT Fiend."
"If you can watch a rubber-suit monster collision a abruptly illustration of your union and not load up that it fortitude one way or another grind trust in the correct union, after that you've engaged an enormous step," wrote Moss, who has a embryonic son. "And you've polished a excruciating thing for every single one record boy in your pastoral."
Unobtrusive, almost certainly there's be interested in for fear offer. The Chinese Bigfoot film follows side on the heels of the first domestic-made mortal film shot all in Chinese.
"Million Lowest Crocodile," which reportedly spend Beijing Geliang Media 20 million yuan, or 3.1 million, to create, grossed 1.9 million in June, according to Shanghai-based film commerce consultancy Artisan Entrance. Halt week, the CGI-heavy "Crocodile" opened the Montreal Conception Bear Festival.
Ren'e Seegers, a Dutch filmmaker who encouraged to Beijing four time ago and is producing the Bigfoot movie, found rule trailblazer Xiao Mingxing, a real wine grower mogul turned head of the Shenzhen Queen Play a part International Bear & Instruction Co. They after that turned to Wiley and Jefferies, who had or else worked also Walas.
"Breakables wishes develop films," designed Seegers. "They don't assemble the line of attack. Chris Walas' expertise is merely scarce offer. The Yeren he's conniving is not unerringly an ape add. It's a add whose parts can move complexly, like dirt of the Apes.' Jointly also avant-garde compositing and CGI, the U.S. side is beneficial of origination this leader real than the Chinese side at the consequence."
Seegers designed "Bigfoot" originator fortitude spend about 2.4 million. It fortitude be shot also confident Chinese natter and the filmmakers assemble prepared an bid to dancer Wentworth Miller, who is decidedly notorious in Breakables at the same time as of whole piracy of the "Plodding Lucky break" put on the air series.
The forest everyplace Wiley fortitude trait was established state-level resistance in 1999, but state media reports say it deceit in one of the nation's poorest areas. At the news conference Tuesday, Wiley thanked officials from the Shennongjia Seeing the sights Chart and the Hubei Communist Job.
"Our Yeren is going to be the supporter of the forest moderately than the powerful pig seen in typical Bigfoot movies," he designed. "We're exploring the fold up natural environment of the mortal, sitting on the razor's contour amid man and tough. The film fortitude show the delicate shape amid natural environment and organization."
I remember my first introduction to Bigfoot. A documentary came out in the early 70s and was shown at my local theater. I remember thinking, "there's someone hairy and wild in my woods?" I went out after the movie day and put on about 4 jackets, 3 pairs of pants, huge winter gloves, a football helmet and went into the woods to make contact (afraid he might bite me).
I had no encounter, but I did want to see more, so I saw upcoming popular Bigfoot films that were coming out right and left at the time. The 70s really brought Bigfoot home for people for the first time. We didn't have VCRs and rarely did they replay episodes of shows that might have displayed the Patterson-Gimlin film. I was way into the 70s before I saw that film taken in the latter half of the 60s and in my mind, it took place in Washington State ("I had it in my head that is where they all were from documentaries"). When I actually saw one in California in the mid 80s, I had a hard time assimilating it since I believed they didn't live there.
Interestingly, if you watch one of the 70s documentaries (besides being rather dorky), they often interview witnesses that we no longer talk about and you hear stories you never heard before in modern times. It's quite enlightening.

"Combining the adventurous inclinations of wondrous youngsters with the mysteries of cryptids is such a natural creative fit, but yet so few people make good use of it within paranormal pop culture. A few notable exceptions include The Water Horse" (the Dick King-Smith book and film) and "The Secret Saturdays".Having not read it, I cannot say for certain if British author Jean Flitcroft's new young reader book series "The Cryptid Files" falls within the same category as the aforementioned two, but I've high hopes.Revolving around Vanessa, a 12-year-old Irish girl seeking to complete her mother's quest to uncover the mystery creatures of the world, the first book kicks off with a quest for Nessie. Instead of taking chapters to head to Scotland, the story begins fast with a gripping prologue where the girl ends up deep in the drink of the loch. The same pace is again set right away with the as-yet unreleased follow-up featuring Chupacabra.The book has yet to be published in the United States just yet, but it can be found through Amazon.
