Understanding Cryptozoology

Bernard Heuvelmans founded the International Society of Cryptozoology (ISC) in 1982. As a philosopher of science, he never questioned whether Cryptozoology was properly a ParaScience or a pseudoscience.

Heuvelmans was a Belgian/French scientist, explorer, researcher and writer. He was born in Le Havre in northwestern France in 1916 and was raised in Belgium. He earned a doctorate in Zoology from the Free University of Brussels at the age of 23. Heuvelmans had been interested in zoological oddities for some time but he credits a 1948 Saturday Evening Post article by Ivan T. Sanderson with inspiring him to become deeply determined to explore more fully his interest in unknown animals. He wrote a book "On the track of Unidentified Animals" in 1955, published in two volumes. It has been translated into over 20 languages. Heuvelmans wrote many other books and articles, only a few of which have been translated into English. His works sold well among general audiences but saw little attention from mainstream scientists and experts.

Aliens Of The Deep?
By Dorraine Fisher

Our oceans cover around 71 percent of our planet. And only 5 percent of that has been explored by humans.TV shows like Ancient Aliens have long suggested that the aliens we refer to in paranormal circles may actually be hiding in our oceans. We may never know for sure, but we do know there are some alien creatures down there we may never fully understand in our lifetime.   And since we deal in aliens and alien creatures and alien belief systems and all things alien, it hasn’t eluded us that our oceans may hold a large number of aliens too. And every once in a while we find proof. And this one’s pretty creepy.
