Before you get your hopes up, we'll let you know that this information seems to have been culled from reports that followed an expedition in 2004 to see if native claims of giant reptile-like flying creatures were present in the hinterlands of New Guinea. The author of this report, Terrence Aym, doesn't give dates, but the links to videos and the reports he includes in the footnotes indicates this is old news that, despite the videos - which don't appear to show pterosaurs, are still inconclusive. Elsewhere, an even older cryptid claim leads Loren Coleman to comment on events reported in 1934 while trying to answer a query from a distinguished cryptozoological colleague in Shuker and Coleman: Killer Kangaroo Konfusion, with images. Elsewhere, Dale Drinnon wraps up his recent examination of the bipedal apemen creatures reported around the world, comparing the divisions he recognizes against Heuvelmans' sea serpent categories, in Mystery Primates - the Tote Up. And, as the crowd begins to gather for one of the year's top cryptozooligical and Fortean events, you'll find the latest news of proceedings in Latest Weird Weekend Programme, with Jon Downes' review of last night's pre-event cocktail party and more in Weird Weekend Scrapbook: Parties and Rumours.
