TV documentaries on sea serpents or lake monsters such as Champy (Lake Champlain) and Nessie (Loch Ness) usually end the same: no conclusive proof. We should know going in that there’ll be no conclusive results, because the documentary was evidently filmed months (or even years) ago, and there were no blaring headlines announcing the discovery of an as yet unknown creature in the depths of some body of water.
Combining the subjects of two documentary staples (serpentine monsters and unidentified and possibly alien objects), I wondered if they might be related. UFOs are Unidentified Flying Objects while USOs are Unidentified Submerged Objects. These are craft apparently piloted by intelligent beings that emerge from the water and fly off into the sky, or descend from the sky and dive into the water.
If, as many believe, USOs are piloted by aliens, and have bases under the water, be it fresh or salt, there is a definite need to keep prying eyes at bay, much like our military bases have tight security. Is it not possible, therefore, that there is a relationship between USOs and sea monsters?
There is a 16th century tale from Norway of a creature rising out of the sea and attacking a ship. The creature’s head reportedly rose as high as the mast, and the body was three times as long as the ship. Even using an estimate of a 10-foot mast, this would indicate a very large creature.
When scientists and cryptozoologists investigate the locales where these creatures have been seen, there are tantalizing “hits” such as a blip on the radar screen or a mysterious wake, but nothing concrete is seen or documented. The teams go home empty handed, and quite often arguing among themselves.
Postulating that there are, truly, USOs based beneath our oceans and lakes (or lochs and fjords), there is a definite need to keep from being discovered. In the Bermuda Triangle (and other such vortexes around the globe), compasses suddenly behave erratically and phenomena such as strange lights and giant waves occur. Are these natural phenomena caused by Earth’s magnetic field, or are they intentionally created by sentient beings and geared to keep investigators away? Could the “sea/lake/fjord monsters” actually be artificial booby traps or a form of alarm system to keep scientists/cryptozoologists away much like alarms keep burglars away from our homes?
Are the creatures robotic and non-organic; therefore, able to be hidden from our technology? If we are searching for a living creature, could our instruments be fooled by a robot created by a race more technologically advanced than ours? Is the technology so advanced that we haven’t got the means to detect it? Are our expectations getting in our way? For centuries we’ve been told what these creatures look like: serpentine, long neck, horse-like head with a long and flowing mane. Do we ignore other signs, other indications that what we are searching for (and perhaps seeing) is right under our nose? We expect to see one thing, but what if that thing has characteristics we aren’t expecting? What if it’s a decoy?
Karen reviewed the book Ghost Hunting: True Stores of Unexplained Phenomena from The Atlantic Paranormal Society by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson in one issue of Psychic-Magic, and T.A.P.S. frequently reports that high EMF (electromagnetic frequency) readings can cause physical symptoms such as a change of attitude or nausea. I’ve seen many of the investigative teams looking for Nessie, Champy or another watery creature turn on each other. They begin with small disagreements that elevate to massive arguments, sometimes leading to people leaving the investigation and/or threatening to expose shoddy or allegedly misrepresented “proof”. Could there be an outside cause for this dissention in the ranks? Is a high EMF (or something we can’t detect) affecting the minds/attitudes/behavior of the investigators?
We are warned that expectations color results, and this may, indeed, be the case with regard to “monsters” lurking in our oceans, lakes, lochs and fjords. We expect to see one thing, but what if it turns out to be something completely different? What if our “sea serpent” is an advanced burglar alarm or decoy that has been installed to keep us away?
The next time you see a documentary on “sea serpents”, listen more carefully to the background stories, the phenomena that accompany the sightings, and by all means listen to the group that is attempting to gather evidence of the creature’s existence. Do group members argue? Do they disagree vehemently? Does a minor disagreement escalate? Is this disagreement the result of some as yet undetected stimulus such as exceedingly high or low frequency vibrations? Do the creatures disorient the search team and actually manifest dissention?
I may be way off base, but these are, after all, simply questions. Pay attention next time and see what you think. There’s one more thing to consider: if the scientists/cryptozoologists didn’t think there was the possibility of finding something, why would they be investigating in the first place? These expeditions cost tens of thousands of dollars and take months, even years. Would you invest that much time, energy and money if you didn’t think you’d find something?
