Submariner officer Nikolai Mikhailovich, an amateur diver, was diving in shallow water in the bay when he noticed a strange elongated object, shaped like a cucumber. 

Thinking that it was part of the wreckage of an old ship, Nikolai tied a rope around the object and tried to pull it to the surface. However, he did not succeed, and he decided to attach some slings to the strange "cucumber" and attach it to the car bumper to pull it out. 

He came to the surface and received the necessary equipment for this task. He took a pneumatic drill with him to drill holes in the object and attach the slings. Nikolai went back down to the bottom and tried to drill holes in the object. 

Suddenly, a jet of dark liquid resembling oil burst out of the object and hit him in the face. But instead of turning off the drill, Nikolai increased the air pressure, trying to make the hole deeper. He heard a loud crunch inside the cucumber and noticed a blood-like substance in the water. 

Then the object suddenly split in half, revealing a large cavity inside, from which a large, dim bubble floated out. 

At this moment, Nikolai met a strange creature, apparently similar to a human, with unnaturally white skin and a wound on the back from a drill that seemed to be bleeding. The creature's face was contorted with pain and anger. The creature stared at Nikolai with a fixed, hypnotic gaze, silently opening and closing his mouth. The witness tried to push away the cucumber-shaped object along with the strange entity, but the entity managed to grab his arm.

The humanoid had clawed fingers, very sharp, that tore through his sleeve and cut deep. With all his strength, Nikolai used the drill with his free hand and hit the creature directly in the chest. After that, Nikolai apparently lost consciousness. 

They pulled him out of the water and saved him, but he lost part of his arm. 

No trace of the strange humanoid or object was found. Obviously, the object in the shape of a cucumber was some kind of alien "cocoon", which the witness accidentally stumbled upon.

Summary: Officer-submariner, Nikolay M. an amateur diver had been diving in shallow water in the bay when he spotted a strange elongated object, shaped like a cucumber. Thinking that it was part of the wreckage of an old vessel, Nikolay tied a rope around the object and tried to pull it to the surface. However he was not successful and decided to attach some slings to the strange “cucumber” and connect it to his automobile bumper to pull the thing out of the bay. He came to the surface and obtained the necessary equipment in order to perform that task. He brought a pneumatic drill with him for the purpose to drill holes on the object and attach the slings. Nikolay descended to the bottom again and attempted to drill the holes on the object. Suddenly a stream of dark liquid resembling oil spewed out of the object hitting him on the face. But instead of switching off the drill Nikolay increased its air pressure in an attempt to make the hole deeper. He heard a loud crunch within the “cucumber” and noticed a blood like substance in the water. The object suddenly then split in half revealing a large cavity inside, from it a large dull bubble floated out. At this moment Nikolay encountered a strange entity, apparently human-like with unnaturally white skin and what appeared to be a wound on his back caused by the drill, the wound appeared to be bleeding. The entity’s face was distorted by pain and anger. The entity looked at Nikolay with an immovable hypnotic glance, soundlessly opening and closing his mouth. The witness attempted to push away the cucumber-shaped object along with the strange entity, but the entity succeeded in grabbing his hand. The humanoid had clawed fingers, very sharp, which tore into his sleeve and cutting him deeply. Struggling, Nikolay used the drill with his free hand and stabbed the entity directly into the chest. After that Nikolay apparently lost consciousness. He was pulled out of the water and saved but he had lost part of his hand. No traces of the strange humanoid or object were found. Apparently the cucumber-shaped object had been some type of alien “cocoon” which the witness had accidentally stumbled upon.
