Cryptids
I love cryptozoology. Ties in well with my belief in UFO's, ghosts, etc. I tend to believe that the simplest explanation is the most logical one (Achem's razor), and that usually the simplest explanation is the one ignored because of societal and cultural preconceptions. And the close mindedness of most individuals.
That said, I think I will be adding in some good 'ol fashioned cryptid news in here, along with a smattering of UFO info, crop circles, and other interesting stuff.
To start with, a short article on precisely how little we know about things that may be very very large:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop
The Bloop is the name given to an ultra-low frequency underwater sound detected by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration several times during the summer of 1997. The source of the sound remains unknown. The sound, traced to somewhere around
50° S 100° W (South American southwest coast), was detected repeatedly by the Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array, which uses U.S. Navy equipment originally designed to detect Soviet submarines. According to the NOAA description, it "rises rapidly in frequency over about one minute and was of sufficient amplitude to be heard on multiple sensors, at a range of over 5,000 km." Though it matches the audio profile of a living creature, there is no known animal that could have produced the sound. If it is an animal, it would have to be, reportedly, much larger than even a Blue Whale, according to scientists who have studied the phenomenon.[1]
