No More Saluting Our Vampire Overlords…

Thanks to those wacky scientists! We here at Mysterious Earth are quite thrilled to discover that some in the scientific community have decided to quit worrying about frivolous stuff like global warming, asteroid impacts, etc. Instead, some scientists have been busy deriving a mathematical proof that vampires CAN NOT exist! Whew!

Here’s the theory in a nutshell:

Efthimiou’s debunking logic: On Jan 1, 1600, the human population was 536,870,911. If the first vampire came into existence that day and bit one person a month, there would have been two vampires by Feb. 1, 1600. A month later there would have been four, and so on. In just two-and-a-half years the original human population would all have become vampires with nobody left to feed on.

Now THAT’S science!!! Read all the details here.

We’ll be sleeping much better tonight…

Skyfish on News 13!

When you read about something as weird as skyfish, you can’t help but go to Google and Wikipedia to read more about this odd photographic phenomenon. Since all roads lead to YouTube, I ended up watching an amusing news story from LA’s KCOP 13:

Enjoy.

Sky Fishermen?

Well, we’re not sure what else to call this…mmm…guess we’ll call him an outdoorsmen from Japan. We’ve covered stories of these mysterious rods (and also orbs) several times, but we honestly thought their appearance were strictly limited to video…ah…well, apparently we were quite mistaken.

Seems a 64 year old “angler” from Japan by the name of Kozo Ichikawa can catch these “skyfish” or “rods” BY HAND! Wow! And there’s even a DVD so you too can do this at home!

Skyfish are mysterious, paranormal objects that fly through the skies or swim in water at speeds so incredibly fast they’re invisible to the human eye, but are regularly captured on video camera. And Japan is home to one of the world’s most adept skyfish anglers, according to Cyzo (October).

Incredibly, Kozo Ichikawa, a 64-year-old tangerine farmer from a rustic part of Shizuoka Prefecture, claims he can catch the skyfish - also referred to as Unidentified Marine Animals — with his bare hands.
