Aquatic creatures. Sri Lanka

Reader V. Korablev from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky participated in the March, 1966 in the stretch trawler "Seroglazka" from Nikolaev to Petropavlovsk South by sea. One early morning, when the ship has already passed the island of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and was heading to the port of Singapore, V. V. Korablev went to the upper deck...

"With pleasure swallowing of fresh air after the crazy heat in the engine compartment, I looked in the usual expanse of the ocean, hoping to see something interesting. And saw! Collision course, about a mile, maybe closer left on the Board floated some unknown animal. I was dumbfounded looking at him and couldn't understand what I see. Never before then or I anything similar did not meet. Well, just a dragon from a fairy tale!

Then I noticed that the captain (his name was Kolomiets, initials don't remember) is on the left wing of the pilothouse and considers the animal through binoculars. I approached him and anxiously asked what it is.

He just said, "Hell of a thing."

Three hump, topped with fancy prongs, slowly, as if reluctantly, were unloaded on the surface of the water. It seems that the animal was very solid. Looking at this impressive picture, I forgot about everything - and I have a cabin camera and that I needed to go to the engine room. I was just trying to clearly capture the memory he had seen and was afraid that the animal will suddenly disappear.

Apparently alarmed by the noise of the ship, it suddenly turned to the side. The speed of movement of the animal increased, and soon it disappeared from the surface. I have long looked beyond the ocean...

I hope that anyone else in this place seen such an animal and my letter are further proof of its existence".

Indeed, sailors from different countries repeatedly and in some detail described met them "sea serpents". Some biologists tend to listen carefully to these messages.

It is possible that V. V. Korablev saw one of the creatures of the relic, preserved in the depths of the ocean with the reign of the reptiles in the animal world. It is difficult, however, expect a quick test of this hypothesis.

Even a small Loch ness for decades, is a source of endless debate and discussion. The ocean is much vaster and more mysterious: the depths will open people all my secrets.
