| Re: Latest arrival
I couldn't resist sharing this one with you. It's from today's cache of enquiries and I think it has to be shoal of some kind, but what if it isn't ???
"Report visit of very large deep sea creature to 38 foot yacht 'Respite' having left Peniche and on route from Gibralta to Plymouth about 40 miles of coast of Portugual, time early July 1994 in the early hours no moonlight. Thought to be north west of Peniche at time of sighting. Large bioluminesent creature over 100 feet by 30 feet.
main body outlined by luminous net shape of changing shades, tapered cylinder with round end and truncated at other. Approached, round end first at great speed vertically from depth near starboard stern of yacht appeared aas white ring, slowed and turned horizontal. Round end under yacht stern other end to bow. Moved vertically up towards yacht bottom. Could see to starboard and port and beyond stern and well beyond bow where strong glow in water and pink wriggling near surface. Meshed red colour now much stronger as nearer surface.Stayed under yacht for a few seconds then dived rapidly, round end (round end under stern dropped down and forward so vertical) first off the port bow seen as white streak and disapeared. This all happened in say 20 seconds. Thought it might have been a whale but did not surface and did not look the correct shape."  |
