For discussion of everything rum and uncanny, from cryptozoology (mysterious or out-of-place animals), UFOs, high strangeness, etc. Following in the footsteps of Charles Fort and all those inspired by him, like the field of anomalistics.

As this community is on Feddit.uk it takes a British approach to things but it needn't be restricted to the UK - if it's weird and unusual it probably has a home here.

You don't say. But this guy has such an exemplary record of totally not making up bullshit.

In 2015, Maussan [...] revealed a body that he claimed belonged to an alien, but it was later shown to be the remains of a human child.

Oh I see how it is. You fake one alien body and all of the sudden everybody thinks you're the fake alien body guy. Great.
