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.

ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD


On This Day in Weird, August 3...

1967: A married couple named DeSoto reports an 11:30 p.m. UFO sighting from Caracas, Venezuela. According to the witnesses, they say a luminous "whitish" object, some 33 feet in diameter, hovering over their yard, illuminating the ground and emitting a humming noise. As they watched, a door opened at the base of the craft and "something like a light bulb" descended. A door on the smaller object opened, and a humanoid figure about three feet tall allegedly emerged, dressed in "silvery luminous clothes," its head surrounded by vapor. The DeSotos watched from a distance of 15 feet while the strange visitor examined them, collected stones from the ground, and seemed to communicate with the hovering craft. At that point, they say, he dropped the stones, stepped back into the "light bulb," and reentered the larger craft, which took off at high speed.
