Aquatic creatures. United States

In the U.S. state of North Carolina 35-year-old man found a "dinosaur like" creature in the artificial lake Norman, reports the Fox News channel.

Who wished to remain anonymous, the man told about his discovery on the website CryptoZoology.com who post messages about all sorts of strange events.

"I was on a boat with their friends," said the man on the website. "We were in the middle of the lake when he saw an unusual creature while floating in the water." According to him, it was the size of about ten feet (three meters) and reminded him of the mythical "Loch ness" monster.

Photos friends do not have time, because the creature was on the surface less than a minute, and then disappeared in the water.

According to the channel, this is not the first case of a meeting with a mysterious creature living in the waters of lake Norman. The monster of lake Norman, many people have reported encounters with strange animals (or animal group) on lake Norman, making the creature very intimidating and very unusual, as it is not an ancient lake, and artificial and created recently a good starting point for this anomaly in the water is the presence of a nuclear power plant in the upper part of the lake.

Lake Norman was created in 1963 by dividing the dam of the river Catawba in a place called Kevins Ford. The water spilled much more than 130 square kilometers, forming a coastline of approximately 835 km, with a depth in some places exceeding 30 meters. This section of the river had a long history associated with Catawba Indians, early settlers, along with many historical monuments of the revolution and the civil war. Unfortunately, now they are all under water. Nuclear power station was commissioned in 1981. But the stories about the huge fish in the lake originate in the earlier period.

In the neighboring town during the 1970s went popular gossip about divers, plunging to the bottom of the dam for repair and swearing never to go back there after saw sailed past them fish, exceeding in magnitude their own. But it seems that the greatest number of sightings of a monster on the surface of the lake refers to the period after the launch of the nuclear power plant. Can these creatures be radiation mutants of some kind?

Obviously, at least a little bit of radioactive substance, in any form, flowed into the lake during the operation of nuclear power plants. It is known that a number of drains, cleared or not, got into the smaller lake Wylie, located below lake Norman. This does not mean that there was negligence on the part of the energy company, but from a rational point of view this is a likely scenario. This probability applies to all nuclear power plants near large bodies of water. Hypotheses and observations Hypothesis as to what may be a monster, include alligator, catfish, lake sturgeon, freshwater eel and snakehead fish. Many believe that the beast may not be the alligator as a cold-blooded creature is not able to withstand the cold of winter. The fish looks much more plausible explanation, as in the vicinity of the lake it is well known that they can grow to a huge size. The following are brief descriptions of some of the cases meeting the monster: - the Man shot lake in the chamber and when turned it off and was about to leave, saw a large creature with a long neck length of 1.5 meters at some distance. - Two brothers while fishing, he heard the splashes behind them and saw the monster-sized shark with a huge black tail.

- "This Is Norma!"- the nickname given to the phenomenon of cryptid – shouted the two women watched as he crossed the lake one snowy winter day.

Two girls during a night fishing caught something huge that pulled the bait into the water and then surfaced, showing his massive body. Case confirmed by parents and family members: a few friends had lowered the boat into the water when one of them disappeared under the water, and soon reappeared, frightened to death by something long and slimy with barbed leather. Eyewitness accounts of the monster claiming to be genuine, appear almost every year.

Other descriptions and meetings cover a wide range from hitting the water something huge to creatures, like a large snake-like crocodile snouts. Some even reported the observation of a monster in length a lot more. It is also interesting to note the very rare species of jellyfish found in the waters of lake Norman, proving that no native species can actually settle down in it.

Is the monster of lake Norman nuclear monster, like all those giant mutated ants, grasshoppers and people from sci-Fi movies? Remember, yesterday's science fiction often becomes today's reality.
