Low-Resolution Highlights of Squeaky footage from North Carolina, 2009

The full video is roughly 3.5 minutes long. This clip shows the best parts (the most movement), in slightly lower resolution than what is possible.

You can pay a few bucks to see the entire raw footage at www.bushloper.net or you can wait a few weeks for the full version in better resolution (not a whole lot better resolution though). Mike Greene will make the whole raw footage available for download, eventually, so you can rewind and watch it multiple times.

The download will cost a few bucks also, but it's still much cheaper than a DVD.

Greene feels he deserves something in return for the intermittent two (2) year effort he made to get this footage. We can't argue with him. It's his footage. All we could do was compromise. The compromise was to create a free version on YouTube with the best parts of the footage -- everything you'd really need to see.

The full raw footage (3.5 min.) includes the *intervals* between the moves of the animal. You certainly don't see more activity in the raw footage (the pay version).

It was a good compromise because it allowed us to show the parts of the footage and the story that we want people to see. Mike still retains a small revenue stream thogh, in the form of pay downloads to see the uninterrupted raw footage.

This footage was was obtained using a new technique that others should try. That is what makes it very important footage.

Two Mad Scientists Who Went Too Far in the Name of Science

Science sometimes creeps me out. Not so much because of the discoveries of new planets or animals, or even diseases. It creeps me out because of what we as humans, are capable of doing in the name of science. And as much as I'd like to think that these kind of experiments never happened, they did. Scientists go to far in their “madness.”

Perhaps you once upon a time read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein? Some of the scientists listed (Ure, Galvani, and Dippel) were the inspiration behind Dr. Frankenstein. And despite Shelley's wonderful imagination, no amount of idealized creation could think of such things that these men were capable of doing.

Vladimir Demikhov (1916-1998)






Sergei Bruyukhonenko






His research led to the development of open-heart procedures. He developed a crude machine called the autojektor (a heart and lung machine). By using this primitive machine, Bryukhonenko kept the heads of severed dogs alive. In 1928, he displayed one of the heads in front of an audience. To prove it was real, he banged a hammer on the table. The head flinched. When a light was shone in its eyes, the eyes blinked. And when it was fed a piece of cheese, the remnants promptly popped out of the esophageal tube, much to the displeasure of disgusted viewers.

Psychic claims to chat to dead pets

A Romanian psychic claims to able to put grieving pet owners in touch with their dead animals.

Nina Petre, from Brasov, says that, for a fee, she can help people communicate with departed dogs, cats, birds and other pets.

She communicates with her clients through a website where she posts both the owners' messages and the pets' replies.

One recently deceased dog, named Mexico, is quoted as saying to her owner: "I want to let you know that I am very happy here. I just came from the dogs judgement where I was told my good behaviour in life means I have a good chance to be sent back.

"But I couldn't have done this without your support, wisdom and love for which I will always be grateful to you.

"I also have one wish. Please give all my stuff - collar, leash, little coat - to a new dog which I know you will love as much as you did me."

Another dog, Dicky, apparently used the psychic to let his owner know that he died after a "mean neighbour gave me poisoned food".

The psychic charges a small fee to tell people if their pets are in heaven or hell - but as much as £80 for an online discussion.

Animals not only use tools and perform math, but they also plan for the future, researchers say

Monkeys perform mental math, pigeons can select the picture that doesn't belong. Humans may not be the only animals that plan for the future, say researchers reporting on the latest studies of animal mental ability. "I suggest we humans should keep our egos in check," Edward A. Wasserman of the University of Iowa said Thursday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Wasserman, a professor of experimental psychology, said that, like people, pigeons and baboons were able to tell which pictures showed similar items, like triangles or dots, and which showed different items.

This is the definition of a concept, he said, "and the animals passed it with flying colors."

He spoke at a symposium on "Animal Smarts," where researchers discussed the latest findings in the mental abilities of animals.

In the last 20 years there has been a major revolution in the understanding of animals, added Nicola S. Clayton, a professor of comparative cognition at the University of Cambridge in England.

WHITE ANIMALS

On September 4, 2008 the SIU encountered yet another type of unusual activity in the Marley Woods. A property owner south of Site 1 was in the cabin area when he saw two extremely large dog-like animals some 880 feet away. They were in the corner of two fields and were walking slowly together.

He stated the animals would weigh at least 200 lbs. As he had many cattle in that field he was afraid they might attack and kill his cattle. He grabbed his rifle and hit one of the animals “making it red” with no reaction from the animals. They didn’t react to the shot and continued walking slowly away. No blood was found where the animal was hit.
