At the beginning of the 21st Century monsters still roam the remote, and sometimes not so remote, corners of our planet. It is our job to search for them. The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is - we believe - the largest professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals. Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world. Since 2009 we have been running the increasingly popular CFZ Blog Network, and although there has been an American branch of the CFZ for over ten years now, it is only now that it has a dedicated blog.
WHO DROVE THE BLUE PHANTOM?
The Blue Phantom was a car which drove around Illinois and from which shots were fired at people. The driver appears to have been something of a random shooter with no further objective in mind. But his identity has always been a mystery.
The first shot was fired in 1952 near Joliet. Two cars were fired on and in one a man received a minor injury. The car surfaced again near Lincoln, where another shot was fired.
June 2nd saw Edward Smith driving past the Sangamon River. There was a blue car there. A man with a rifle fired at him and, jumping into his vehicle, drove off. On June 8th there were ten shootings. June 9th saw a shooting at Clinton. Another shot was fired on June 10th. This time a police car pursued the fleeing vehicle unsuccessfully On June 19th a couple had to flee from a firing blue car. Four shots were fired on June 24th.
Then the car, now dubbed 'the Blue Phantom', was seen no more. Its driver's motivations remain unknown and his identity unkenned.
