CFZ-USA

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.

DIAMOND ISLAND PHENOMENON

This object looked like a ball of fire with a face in it. It was seen on Diamond Island near Hardin, Illinois, in 1885 by two boys. In 1888 it was seen again, this time by a number of people who were armed and opened fire on it. Their fusillade had no effect. The strange creature chased his assailants away.
