One of your writers (staff) or perhaps it was a Guest-Writer Source,on your site said, Discovery Channel’s “The Deadlist Catch” would broadcast film on the existence of Cadborosauras on March 18, 2011. As, far as I know, this film hasn’t aired. Do you have any idea as to when it will be aired & why the delay?
I would think the News Media around the world, as well as, the scientific community would be anxious to show this new proof of the existence of a living,marine dinosaur.stickyum

I have waited a long time for someone to come along and explore the life and disappearance of Col. Percy Fawcett, Amazon explorer extraordinaire and describer of cryptids of the region. My good friend Peter von Puttkamer of Gryphon Productions decided to take on this subject full on and now he is ready to show the fruits of his investigation in a new television program.

A team of monster hunters will return to Cameron Lake next month to search for a creature that locals have swapped stories about for years.
The B.C. Scientific Cryptozoology Club first visited the area last September after an invitation from Oceanside Tourism to probe for evidence of the Cameron Lake monster.

This will be my last post on this subject until I have further news on when the show will be aired. I have asked the producers for a still from the footage, but am not expecting they will comply with my request.

Having read the comments on my earlier post regarding purported Cadborosaurus footage from Nushagak Bay, Alaska, I wish to address and clarify some of the points raised by readers of Cryptomundo.

My erstwhile colleague Loren Coleman posted about the television program that is said to contain footage of 15 Cadborosauruses. This was in response to comments about the footage made by my good friend and colleague Jason Walton.
So as to clarify things and end speculation, allow me to tell the readership about this footage. I have seen it and examined it repeatedly for three hours in May last year and am satisfied that what is in the footage is not a known animal.

It is utterly appropriate to have our unofficial provincial animal representing us at these games and we wouldn’t have it any other way. If we could add Ogopogo and Cadborosaurus to our mascots that would be perfect, but they will be there another day.

It delights me no end to see the recent interest in Robyn Holman’s Ogopogo sighting and the recent article in the Victoria Times Colonist enquiring about what has happened to Cadborosaurus. Along with the efforts of British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club vice president, Jason Walton, these articles may stir up memories of people who have seen […]

I and all of Scott’s friends are deeply indebted to Loren for such a glowing tribute. Scott and I had been friends for 10 years and as Loren has written, we […]
