At the beginning of the 21st Century monsters still roam the remote, and sometimes not so remote, corners of our planet. It is our job to search for them. The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is - we believe - the largest professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals. Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world. Since 2009 we have been running the increasingly popular CFZ Blog Network, and although there has been an American branch of the CFZ for over ten years now, it is only now that it has a dedicated blog.

MAN IN BLACK - IRISH ENCOUNTER

Most readers, I take it, will be familiar with stories of Men in Black, who turn up and quiz witnesses after anomalous experiences, particularly UFO sightings.  Here we have an encounter with one in the county of Tipperary.

In June, 1990, James McCleary, farmer, noticed two circular swirls in a field of oats and subsequently one in a field of tall grass.  He had no idea of what had made them.  He later found a disturbance in a potato field.  This disturbance was an egg-shaped formation in the earth.

The day after finding this, he set out from his farmhouse to take a walk in the country air.  Suddenly, from behind a shed, a strange man wearing a suit appeared.  McCleary said this individual resembled a corpse and he didn't much like the look of him.  The man addressed McCleary, but it sounded as if English was not his native tongue.  He asked the startled farmer about the designs that had appeared in his fields and implied he would suffer if he refused to answer.  The man puzzlingly referred to himself as "us".  He used the term "bunches" to refer to the formations.  McCleary had had enough.  He walked away from the man and never saw him again.
