Analysis showed that alloy steel trap was disfigured by an eight-armed monster weighing several tons! But after all herald of “Bermuda legends” Charles Berlitz attributes some disasters in this area are precisely at the expense of unknown aggressors. Berlitz referred to eyewitnesses observing various sea monsters with ships, and on divers. One of them seemed to see quite incredible creature. It was one of the islands of the Bahamas archipelago. Ten meter boat designed for submarines and rescue work, slowly towed a diver on a cable. is he “soared” at a distance of ten meters above the bottom. Suddenly in his field something roundish like a turtle. Diver descended and with in amazement I saw a creature with a face … monkeys! At that moment it serpentine bent neck. His eyes remotely resembled human, but were much larger. Looking at the diver an unknown creature quietly retired … No less mysterious plot said in his book “A drop of our world” writer Yaroslav Golovanov. It happened in 1913 off the Florida Keys Islands – there, where the border of the notorious Bermuda Triangle begins. The captain of the Samba yacht Charles Thompson noticed a huge animal, floating near the surface of the water. The captain ordered to lower the boat and armed with a harpoon, he entered into battle with the sea monster. Mad with pain, with a harpoon sticking out in her side, the monster rushed forward. A boat was flying behind him on a rope tied to a harpoon. Thompson, of course, could have cut the rope, but he was sorry to lose rare prey. The race lasted several hours. Finally thing was done. Having finished the “miracle judo” with shots from rifles, people saw in front of him is a 14-meter high fish of a completely incomprehensible form. Scientists could not classify it in any way. Curious to this day no one met her again. It is believed that we know half of the living inhabitants of the ocean, and even then shallow and slow. And who is found in the so-called abyssal depths, leaving down two kilometers or more? There is practically no man at all. That’s why deep sea dives always melt surprises. Deepwater research apparatus “Highfish”, built in Germany, not so long ago, almost died because of this “surprise”. After one of the dives in the Mariana Trench to a depth of about seven kilometers “Highfish” for no apparent reason could not come up in any way. The hydronauts decided to see what was holding him. They turned on a thermal imager, that is, a camera that shoots in infrared rays, and literally dumbfounded: a monster grabbed into the body, similar to a fossilized dinosaur. It’s good that the creators of the device provided for the possibility of such a situation. Hydronauts included an electric cannon and a monster dumbfounded by an electric strike current, opened its terrible jaw. History has kept the legend of immersion in the depths of the sea in Alexander’s glass barrel Macedonian. And there he supposedly saw such a huge monster, which sailed past the royal explorer “three days and three nights. “Without going into an assessment of the veracity of this legend, we note far from unique in her character. Ancient texts mention sighted by a giant sea serpent by Assyrian king Sargon II. And in 244 BC, Roman legionnaires were attacked terrible monster in the delta of the river Majerda in present Tunisia. Only using catapults, we managed to cope with it. By order of the consul with the monsters skinned and sent her to Rome. Length set for The public review of the trophy was 20 steps. In one of 12th-century Chinese manuscripts evidence of the existence of an unknown dragon. The author of this ancient the manuscripts allegedly “saw his skeleton in the court pantry, and his tail, fins, limbs and body were in his full preservation, with the exception of cut off horns. “As stated in text, in appearance the skeleton “looked exactly like the available images dragons. “It is strange that as we approach these times such evidence is becoming less, but the number of chilling souls tales of ocean monsters are multiplying more and more. November 30th 1861 French warship Adecton met in Atlantic ocean with giant squid (kraken) the size of considering tentacles up to 20 meters. On the red torso of an animal huge eyes gleamed ominously. The ship opened fire on the monster from guns, but due to strong pitching did not hit him. Then, approaching him closely, he was struck by harpoons. But clam anyway, somehow he broke away from the ship and disappeared into the depths. Lucky and sailors: the artist on board managed to make color drawing, which is now kept at the French Academy of Sciences. A terrible incident occurred at the end of the last century. That’s what told in the English newspaper The Times. Huge octopus attacked the Indian schooner “Pearl”. From a nearby ship saw through binoculars how a certain huge heavy mass “crawled onto the vessel, enveloping it and growing together with it. “The masts of the schooner swayed and began to lean towards water. As the octopus climbed on board, the masts sank lower and lower. And finally fell completely. Escaped miraculously, the captain of the schooner said that when he saw the monster, he grabbed shotgun and shot him. The furious monster immediately climbed on his offender. Crew members rushed for axes and prepared to repel the attack. Suddenly there was a strong blow. The ship began to tremble. Next moment huge tentacles similar on the trees, grabbed the hull! They snaked towards the masts. and clung to them. People frantically waved axes, trying get on these tentacles. But the fear of being seized prevented they reach the goal. Meanwhile, the monster threw its huge body overboard, reaching for the tops of the masts. Hanging at their ends it fell into the water, dragging the vessel along with it. People instantly found ourselves in the water. The schooner lay for some time upwards with a keel, then sank. Apparently, believing that the enemies are over, the monster left the sailors alone. The problem of giant monsters interested remarkable writer and major scientist – paleontologist Ivan Antonovich Efremov. In one of the publications he talked about a researcher who observed in Africa on Lake Victoria close relative of Nessie. The explorer saw a monster suddenly rising from the water to grab a gaping native. At the beast there was a long strong neck, a small head and a massive body, not prevented him from moving fast. Surprisingly already in our time are evidence confirming the message I.A. Efremova. Pygmies of Central Africa have been around for more than two centuries the legend of the terrible beast “mokele mbemba”, which means “the one who eats the tops of palm trees.” Eyewitnesses describe him as “half dragon half dragon.” In Zambia, too, there seems to be a certain dinosaur-like monster. Locals call him “chipekve” – ”behemoth eater”. Chipekwe has a head and neck huge pangolin. That would be the number of meetings with these monsters subjects of folklore, if the famous hunter J. A. Jordan once did not meet with chipekwe. Before the hunter, suddenly an “incredible creature.” His head was like that of crocodile, and the body – like a hippopotamus, and covered with bone plaques. Jordan managed to fire a charge prepared for an elephant. Dangling from a shot to the side, chipekve (if it was it!) disappeared into the swamp thickets. You can of course expose the hunter’s testimony, although there were guides with him, confirming his story. But in the summer of 1983, the world press circumvented a new message, overlapping by convincing everything previous ones. Marcellin Anyagna, Head of the Congolese Scientific expedition, completed a survey of Lake Tele. Suddenly he heard a scream conductor: “Hurry up here! Grab a movie camera!” Introduced herself The picture literally plunged him into a shock to Marcellin Anyagnier. state. 300 meters from the coast above the surface of the water proudly towered a serpentine head on a massive neck! The monster led himself as if inviting to admire himself. Anyanga woke up from shock and turned on the movie camera, mentally casting a monster to linger longer. And – a fantastic case: it “posed” for the operator Ten minutes! And only after that with a slight burst went under water. According to Dr. Anyagni, “the visible part of this animal roughly corresponds to our concept of fossils brontosaurus – giant herbivores, extinct about 70 million years ago. But such meetings do not always end for monsters safely stored in the archives of the German Navy report of the commander of the submarine “U-28”, torpedoed in 1915 year off the coast of Ireland, the English ship “Iberia”. After the explosion torpedoes that hit a ship, a dying literally flew out of the water a monster in the form of a huge crocodile with a long tail and two pairs of powerful paws with membranes. And in 1917 in the North Sea with mysterious and scary creature met british the Hillary cruiser … At 9 a.m., the duty officer caught attention commander to a moving animal of unusual appearance. Commander cruisers found outlandish a good target for training firing and ordered to prepare shells. The head of that target, according to Hillary’s commander looked like the head of a huge cow. She was black, with a white mark on the forehead, but without horns and ears. Neck stretched no less than 6 meters, and the fin towered above water per meter or more. The total length of the animal reached 20 meters. When it lifted its head to look around, the body bent in a semicircle. The shooting started, and one of the few fossils, surviving to this day, has become less. Telegraphic in July 1977 world agencies spread sensational news. Japanese fishing trawler “Zuyomaru”, fishing off the coast of New Zealand, pulled a dark mass with a trawl, resembling a huge outline lizard. Her remains emitted an unbearable stench. But still the fishermen lifted them to the deck with a crane. Captain fearing any infection, ordered to throw the “lizard” overboard. But the sailors managed it take a picture and make sketches. The estimated length of the find about 10 meters, a width of 1.5 meters and a weight of 2 tons. The head was small and the tail was large. Director of the Japanese program zoological research professor Yoshinuri Imaizumi so commented on a strange find: “This is a reptile, and the drawings give great reason to believe that the fishermen from Zuyomaru raised plesiosaurus! “Soviet Academician N. A. Shilo wrote that, throwing in sea find, Japanese fishermen “deprived humanity of opportunity to study a unique specimen of an extinct animal that is believed to be 100 million years ago. “Exactly one year later, in the spring of 1978, now already Soviet fishermen saw such creatures in the sea alive. IN They met a whole flock of “plesiosaurs” in the Indian Ocean. FROM they observed distances of fifty meters, in particular, as the crest of the wave showed the head of an unknown animal with open toothy mouth. Candidate of Biological Sciences A. Kuzmin from Pacific Fisheries Research Institute farms and oceanography reported such details: “Cool the rounded nape rose about one and a half meters from the water. On the the upper jaw stood out a white stripe bordered by a black bottom line … In profile, the head was conical in shape. Total length 1.5-2 meters. Black stripes went down from the upper jaw – probably interdental spaces. “After the unveiling of this incident it turned out that other ships met here with similar animals. The witnesses were most impressed by the folds on the animal’s neck and big eyes. “But readers have the right to ask a question, why on the territory of our country, in its seas, rivers and lakes not are there mysterious monsters? I would answer this question as well who told you they did not meet? To my great regret, few have read the diaries of geologist Viktor Alexandrovich Tverdokhlebova. They talk about observations at the source of the river. Indigirki “relatives” of the Loch Ness monster. One of the legends about Lake Labynkyr writes off the “hell” living in it. Distance between his eyes are wider than a “fishing raft of ten logs.” Somehow from a huge jaw appeared in the water, and the dog, swimming behind the shot duck, immediately disappeared. It is believed that the “devil” swallowed her. Local residents found a bone on the shore of the lake, similar to the jaw of such a mouth. According to them, if it were placed vertically, then under it, as under archway, a rider could ride a horse. Living “line” of the lake Labynkyr saw the famous enthusiast of the “bigfoot” problem Professor Boris Fedorovich Porshnev. Something similar was observed in nearby Lake Gate (from the word “gate”). I could see on the lake some object gleaming in the sun. The main thing is that he swam, and quite quickly! “Rising a little above the water dark gray oval carcass, – wrote in the diary of Tverdokhlebov. – On the she clearly distinguished two bright spots, similar to the eyes … We they saw a small part of the animal, but at the bottom massive body. This could be judged by his movement. Heavy throwing, rising slightly out of the water, it rushed forward, and then completely immersed in water. At the same time from his head went waves born somewhere underwater. Claps its mouth, catches a fish – a hint flickered. “The creature was approaching geologists, waves, raised by him, reached the people. And they could not stand it – rushed up on a steep slope. The animal stopped and then disappeared under water. Another monster was seen in the waters of the tundra lake Khayyr, also in Yakutia, beyond the Arctic Circle. After reporting this “Komsomolskaya Pravda” there were several expeditions of scientists. Lucky, you can say, to the participant of the biological detachment of Yakutsk Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences N.F. Gladkikh. Young man coming early in the morning to the lake for water, discovered an incredible phenomenon: on The object of expeditionary search, so to speak, lay on the shore. Smooth saw “a small head on a long glossy neck, a huge body with blue-black skin and vertically protruding dorsal fin. ” A stunned biologist rushed to call his comrades, but when they came running, then they didn’t see anything. “But unexpectedly in the middle a head appeared on the lake, then a fin on the back, the deputy wrote Head of the Northeast Expedition of the Moscow State University of Rukosuev. – With a long tail, the creature hit the water, why the waves dispersed across the lake. “This time, witnesses to this there were not one, but several people.
