Not our finest hour perhaps. Take a look at the film of the 2005 Mongolian Deathworm Expedition on the same CFZtv site: a better film of a more scientifically productive expedition.

I think the logo was a lot cooler than the film, as a whole.

I see the effort these people went through, but their actions were kinda flawed, and seemed like a group of wacky vacationers. It was kinda like a Fortean Scooby Doo.

I want to know where on a beach full of sand they would know the *exact* place to dig? Their conclusion was flawed that it was not there… a few feet to the right could have been something amazing… but oh what a pain it would be to find it. I think you would need GPS or something.

Why didn’t they examine the “scale” under a microscope?

Even though I hate most reality shows, I think if there were a couple decent sponsors, professional equipment, more money, and a slightly larger crew, this would make for a great adventure show. Small group of explorers/adventurers traveling the jungles and little known places. Then they examine the collected evidence ala CSI. Come on Discovery Channel…

An article will be published in the magazine Fortean Times. So for all you Cryptid doubters out there, be patient, the Ninki Nanka mystery will be solved in the very near future by patience and persistence.

I don’t like the leading of witnesses.

On the other hand, they have a healthy skepticism, and interest in regular zoology. Those are good (and refreshing) signs.

They could use people used to the bush, and a better camera or cameraman. And support, or teaming with other researchers.

The constant theramin is annoying after a while.

The stories sound like that of the basilisk.

Well, interesting enough I guess. The narration was too quiet in many places, the song made me laugh (I’m sorry, just did) and the other thing that made me laugh was when it was said ‘and the rest of the team started digging’, I saw one person digging, and another slightly more lazy person seemingly spooning sand off the edge of where the real digging was taking place, lol. As for any science derived from this, well there is none. A good amount of witness accounts but far too many on the superstitious side to make me take them seriously. A nice little documentary as far as entertainment value goes I suppose but nothing else.

This film is obviously a hoax. Could they shake the camera any more?

Certainly more intriguing than playing with paper dolls!
