The ocean is full of the most fabulous creations, as a friendly man, and hostile to it.Sailors, scientists and oceanographers Divers appearance of most of them is well known.But sometimes dark depths emerges is that, as they used to say in the old days, no tale to tell, nor pen describe ...
case with Dr Loup
In 1953, the Australian press replicated the strange sensation: during testing of the latest geardiving, during which it was planned to set a record depth of man in the South Pacific, the doctor met Christopher Loup mysterious shapeless creature of enormous size.
doctor told reporters: "As long as I plunged me with obvious curiosity accompanied by four-meter shark.She circled around me, but the attack did not seem to gather.Finally, I found myself on an underwater ledge - then stretched a black abyss that seemed bottomless.Continue dive was dangerous.I stood there, staring into the abyss;Shark waited what I'll do next.At the same time, I noticed that rises from the depths of some black mass.It emerges very slowly.When it fell the light, I saw something huge - an area of about an acre (0.4 ha) - a dark brown, flat, with a fringe around the edges.It is sluggish throb.I do not doubt that it is a living creature, but saw no eyes, no limbs.Continuing pulsate terrible vision rose above me.Spellbound, I watched as the brown monster shark reached and touched her "back".Shark started, then sank limply into the body of the monster.I stood motionless, not daring to move.Just slowly surfaced, brown creature plunged into.God knows, it was a creature. "
tragedy in the Gulf
early in the new millennium, another meeting with the creation ended tragically.It occurred in the Gulf of Thailand, where the French diver Henri Astor worked under contract with some of the Thai firm.With a partner, he sank to the base ship at a depth of 80 meters in a special protective cage.At a given depth divers spotted a large school of fish and stop the dive.At this point, they noticed a strange phenomenon: from below toward the jamb rose brown gelatinous mass of enormous size.When she moved closer to the shoal, fish behaved very strangely.They seemed froze in place, then rolled over on its side and sank slowly toward the brown mass.
the eyes of astonished divers, this fate befell almost all the huge shoal.Astor's partner, despite the protests of fellow, decided to swim closer to see what was happening.When the 15 minutes he returned, Henry gave the alarm.Rescuers arrived did not have time to see anything because the brown mass has descended into the depths.The body of the missing diver was not found.
Curiously, the sounder the vessel from which the dive showed the appearance of a false bottom at a depth of 70 - 80 meters.A little later he killed himself Henry Astor.He made a series of dives to meet again with the unknown underwater monster and shoot it on video.One of those dives was his last.
Scientists think: who is he?
What is this mysterious creature, paralyzing their prey from a distance?Some scientists consider it a manifestation of other life forms lurking in the deep basins and related evolution of the first organisms.They say it's an incredible monster comes from the primitive cells that have not yet been characterized by signs of animal or plant.The potential of such cells is huge, which explains the gigantism of the mysterious creatures.Jelly does not care who is his food, whether microscopic plankton and huge whale.
Others speak of giant jellyfish.Thus, the jellyfish "lion's mane" often reach two meters in diameter.There is evidence that these jellyfish shark swallowed.The American magazine "Faith" in the November 2004 issue reported that in 1978 the sailboat "Kuranda" encountered jellyfish completely unimaginable dimensions: weighing 20 tons and with a length of tentacles up to 40 meters.
In the mid-nineties, a certain group of American experts put forward their version of the origin of gelatinous monster.According to their hypothesis, in fact, it is a seaweed monster class dinoflagellates.In the obscure processes seaweed mutated into terrible predator.At certain moments of his life a creature behaves like a plant, accumulating solar energy.But then, for some unknown signal microscopic algae cells come together to form a totally different body.In this phase metaorganizm starts to eat fish.In the absence of such a monster forms a protective shell, and sinks to the bottom, where it can remain for years.
At a meeting with the monster fish allocates a potent toxin, within a few minutes killing prey in huge quantities.Then a collective cellular creature, the size of which, in principle, no limits, envelops their body digestive juice, and then the process of digestion.
Some experts explain the appearance of these monsters are constantly increasing pollution of the seas and oceans, particularly phosphates, causing uncontrolled reproduction of some species of algae.
invulnerable creature
But what are all the same size limits mysterious organism?It seems that the biggest gelatinous monster in 1969 in the Bahamas met Soviet oceanographers during one of the expeditions of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.His appearance was preceded by unimaginable panic among the marine life.For some seconds from the depths to the surface flocked schools of fish, seeking refuge in a coral reef island.Then the "immense brown mass with a dull bluish rim slowly, like a jellyfish" sailed out of the bluish depths.She closed an entire blue and like a dirty, impenetrable fog clouded everything.She was not completely like.She is buried in a remote muddy spaces, with clearly more than a kilometer in size.
Everything calmed down and stopped, as if in a snapshot.Stationary frozen fish and sharks, are above the gelatinous mass.Brown monster, too, suddenly stopped and hovered.And then if an electrical discharge hit all the fish.They began to bend and, convulsively twitching, fall in beaded jelly.Watch this scene scuba diver, just as Australian Dr Christopher Loup could not lift a finger, because the body has ceased to obey him.He sharply bent and slowly go into depth.On the research vessel immediately lowered the boat with divers, one of whom managed to catch up with the sinking to a depth of ten meters.Attempts to bombard the monster vessel TNT blocks the effect was not given: torn black hole breaks in brown mass slowly dragged on, without causing any harm to the monster.
Saved diver for almost two months did not come to consciousness and woke up in Moscow for the first time in the hospital.His savior too badly hurt.While in the water with him nothing happened, a few hours later he started shivering, who went into a deep swoon four.
«combat equipment" monster is very high, therefore, absolutely incomprehensible as it can catch, or at least capture on video.
