yeah, like I link to Darren Naish and Ronald Binns' writings that lay out just how thin Nessie is on the ground, basically a handful of "sightings" that get promoted by Rupert Gould + Constance Whyte and then the '70s boyos like Dinsdale, Rines, and co., she's basically on the level of Mokele Mbembe but somehow has the pop culture penetration. I love F.W. Holiday's Tully Monster because it's totally absurd and/but also just as plausible as the classic plesiosaur idea.

Got to the Goatman episode of Lore, and I’d not heard about this one before. It’s interesting it’s pretty much confined to just the BARC area and isn’t wider reaching. Also the Goatman creepypasta makes it harder to look up because of that story’s popularity.

If anyone lives near the Ballarat region of Victoria Australia there's an interesting public lecture at the Ballarat Municipal Observatory on May 28 about the 1914 German Airship Hysteria which was a precursor to modern day UFO panicsquote:Attention history and science enthusiasts! Join David Waldron at the Ballarat Observatory for an exclusive and exciting show that delves into the mystery of the German Airship Hysteria that swept over Victoria in 1914. I don't live close enough to attend.

The general mystery airship phenomenon has always been of interest to me. I visited a friend in Austin years ago and convinced him to drive up to Aurora to see the local cemetery where the supposed Martian pilot of the 1897 airship crash was buried. I have a photo of it somewhere, I'll try and find.

Been a while since I read anything about the airships, but the idea always fascinated me too. It just seems so quaint compared to the later "traditional" UFOs.

I think the weirdest aspect of the Loveland Frog is that the mystery was solved almost immediately but it still became an urban legend which has endured for 50+ yearsquote:On March 3, 1972, at 1:00 am, Loveland police officer Ray Shockey was driving on Riverside Drive near the Totes boot factory and the Little Miami River when an unidentified animal scurried across the road in front of his vehicle. The animal was fully illuminated in his vehicle's headlights, and he described it as 3 to 4 feet (0.9 to 1.2 m) long and about 50 to 75 pounds (25 to 35 kg), with leathery skin. He reported spotting the animal "crouched like a frog" before it momentarily stood erect to climb over the guardrail and back down towards the river.

So you're saying the Loveland Frog somehow procured an iguana, traumatized it to cause it to drop its tail, then threw it out in front of the cops to be shot, all to remove suspicion from itself? How devious.

I imagine flying a German airship all the way to Australia for reasons would be a pretty lovely gig but probably preferable to drowning in mud in a trench in Flanders I suppose.

New Guinea was a German colony at the time (same with Namibia, where there was also a German plane panic in South Africa) so it wasn’t that far, but as the researcher mentions in the interview it was still an extreme distance for a plane at the time. Part of it was also the panic that German spies were smuggling in plane parts and building planes from secret remote spots in Australia itself.
