The depths of the ocean of mystery and riddles. Kraken - the sinister secret of the ocean depths

Once upon a time there was Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Writer. And he wrote once, in 1928, the legendary story "The Call of Cthulhu". About a terrible monster that lives at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean among the ruins of a sunken city called R'lyeh. And what is characteristic - not just somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. The author indicates specific coordinates: "47 degrees 9 minutes south latitude and 126 degrees 43 minutes west longitude."

Now fast forward to 1992. Then the Croatian engineer and researcher Hrvoje Lukatela decided to determine the most remote and inaccessible point of the globe for people. It turned out 48 degrees 52 minutes south latitude and 123 degrees 23 minutes west longitude. Pretty close to Cthulhu's lair. However, the engineer turned out to be a fan of another writer - Jules Verne - and decided to name this place in honor of Captain Nemo, since it was there that the unsociable captain of the Nautilus would prefer to live.

But Lovecraft still reminded of himself in 1997. Scientists heard a strange sound from under the water near Point Nemo: Bloop. They probably didn't feel comfortable. Then, of course, they said that somewhere a huge ice floe had broken off and collapsed.

An octopus sits there, a dead city or a giant submarine rests - it is not known. But we can definitely say that there is a whole city of space ruins: this place has long been noted as the safest place for flooding spent satellites, ships, and so on. For example, there are the remains of the Soviet Mir station. Six stations "Salyut". SpaceX rocket. Five space trucks, including the ship Jules Verne.

That's just about Cthulhu: in the early 1950s, the crew of a Northern Fleet submarine spotted strange sounds in the Norwegian Sea. The commander even suggested that some creatures surrounded the submarine.

They actively maneuver around vertically and horizontally, their sounds are unknown to us, and we cannot classify them ...

From the story of the submarine commander

There was a cold war, so the Soviet military decided that the enemy had deployed a ship direction finding system. The Soviet Navy launched a program to counter this system and called it "Quaker" because the sounds were croaking. They racked their brains for thirty years, but they did not understand what these sounds were. The program was simply closed. Meanwhile, the Americans themselves listened in puzzlement. Already in the Pacific. Oceanographer Christopher Fox even classified croaking: a more melodic variation called Julia, tapping - a train, a sudden sharp sound - a whistle. According to the main version, everyone was scared by minke whales, relatives of humpback whales. However, the controversy continues.

Also a cemetery, but not of spaceships, but of sea ones: cruisers, destroyers, tankers. Also planes and tanks. And thousands of sailors and soldiers. There was a Japanese military base there during World War II. In 1944, the Americans destroyed it during Operation Hillston. So everything has been lying there since then, covered with corals. Curious divers often swim there, only the locals categorically do not advise them to do this: every year, scuba divers disappear, so much so that the bodies are not always found.

Sandy Island">

Sandy Island

In this case, it is, of course, quite difficult to talk about the location, because the islands, as it were ... no. That is, the famous navigator James Cook put it on the map in the 18th century, it is mentioned in the documents of 1908, and even on Google maps it was until 2012, but the expedition members of recent years did not find it. Moreover, in the indicated place, the depth of the ocean turned out to be at least 1300 meters.

There are no dolphins or whales. At least no one saw. And somewhere there should be at least four ships and three fighters. Unless, of course, they did not fall into some other dimension and so on. The story is very "Bermuda": first, in 1953, three ships disappear without a trace at once, without even having time to transmit an SOS signal. Then the research expedition "Kale-maru-5" is sent to the same place, and it suffers the same fate. And in 1979, three American supersonic military aircraft went missing. The legend says that at first two disappeared somewhere, and when the third flew off to look, the pilot reported on a certain spherical red glow, then screamed - and that's it. In general, a logical explanation is quite possible: the place is volcanically active, and eruptions create powerful typhoons. In addition, gases rise from the bottom. According to scientists, they create strange flashes of light.

Since we are going around and around Bermuda, let's carefully sail away from them to the sea, which has no shores, because it "ends" far from any land. The fact is that this sea rotates like a funnel. It is warmer here than in the rest of the ocean, and the water surface is slightly higher than the general sea level. Here, brown algae - sargassum - and all sorts of garbage swim in a circle, because, getting here, it does not float away anywhere, it spins endlessly. Australian scientist Richard Sylvester said that the air above it is also spinning, a whirlpool creates small cyclones into which an airplane can well be sucked. But that's one thing. But to suck in a whole crew, but not to touch the ship - this is already something else. This is exactly what happened in this sea with the French merchant ship Rosalie in 1840. It was found empty. The sails are raised, but there is no one on board. And there were several more such cases.

Although lakes, from the point of view of geography, are not part of the World Ocean, but let's add about them, after all, they are also water, and interesting things also happen. It was either in 1937, or in 1938. The ship sailed on the lake. Captain George Donner was on duty on the bridge at the helm for several hours. Then he went to rest in the cabin and asked to wake him up in three hours. The assistant came when ordered. knocked. There was no answer. The door was locked. I had to break. The cabin is empty! The ship was searched, but the captain was nowhere to be found. Since then, nothing has been known about him. And in 1950, a Douglas DC-4 passenger plane flew from New York to Seattle and disappeared over the lake. There were 58 people on board. Neither they nor the wreckage were ever found. In both cases, everything happened precisely on that section of the lake, which was considered bad: it is believed that it is located between the cities of Ludington, Benton Harbor in Michigan and Manitowoc in Wisconsin. So there, too - no, no.

While many people look into space in awe, they forget that incredible vistas of unexplored wonders may be much closer - in the earth's oceans.

As technology improves, the ocean continues to reveal more and more secrets.

1. Large amorphous creature

Recently, a video was posted online showing a giant amorphous blob-like creature swimming near a deep sea drilling rig. The creature pulsed near the underwater cameras for long enough to draw attention to itself. Luminous from the inside, an incredibly huge being constantly fluctuated and changed its shape.

Some suggested that it was a completely unknown creature from the depths of the ocean. Others thought it might be evidence of some kind of alien presence at a depth where humans cannot reach. Most of the researchers said that this is a giant jellyfish that was disturbed by a drilling rig.

2. Crystal pyramid in the depths of the ocean

There are many stories about strange crystal pyramids that were found deep in the ocean, presumably not far from the Bermuda Triangle. Those who insist on the existence of such artifacts claim that most scientists know about them, but deny everything for conspiratorial reasons.

However, the vast majority of researchers insist that these tales of crystal pyramids under the ocean are misleading. Similar stories allegedly began to appear after the scammers announced that they had found a broken piece of crystal, which supposedly had magical properties, near the top of one of these pyramids.

3. The secret of immortality

Benjamin Button's Jellyfish has an incredibly unique feature. If they face serious injury or simply reach a respectable age, then these jellyfish can reverse the aging process and turn back into a polyp, starting the life cycle again. This allows them to heal from injuries and live essentially forever, which is currently a great threat to the world's oceans.

Button's jellyfish begin to populate parts of the oceans, breaking the entire balance of marine life. Although many scientists doubt that people can find the reason for the true immortality of jellyfish today, others argue that in the future this will become possible for people. At the very least, this could be a cure for cancer.

4. Atlantis - reality or fiction

Many theories about the lost city of Atlantis are completely wild and fantastic. Some say that Atlantis is located in the Bermuda Triangle, although the legends never mention its presence in that area. Others believe that the domed cities of Atlantis are still preserved deep underwater.

A historian named Bettany Hughes studied the ancient myth of Atlantis and realized that Plato, probably under the guise of Atlantis, allegorically described the island of Santorini, located near ancient Greece. The people who lived in Thera, a city on this island, were very skilled merchants and merchants who benefited from a strategic position between three continents. This allowed them to become very wealthy and lead Feret to prosperity.

Unfortunately, the inhabitants of the island had no idea that they were actually living right on top of the volcano. In 1620 BC the volcano literally exploded with an eruption, and the explosion was so huge that it affected almost the entire world. Plato had almost certainly heard of him. The remains of There are perfectly preserved, like the famous city of Pompeii, which also died from a volcanic eruption.

5. Intelligent life could be much closer

The scientific explanation for the mermaid legend implies that sailors were often at sea for long periods without women and drinking frequently, so it is not surprising that they experienced visual hallucinations mistaking manatees for mermaids. However, the ocean is a very large place and mostly unexplored. Nobody knows what's going on in the depths. Humans are always looking for intelligent life that looks like humans, but it can look and behave very differently.

6. The main enemy is pressure

Many people are surprised at the incredible amount of money being spent on space exploration when the ocean is right next to it and is still largely unexplored. They cite for comparison the colossal costs of spacecraft and space stations, believing that the cost of studying the ocean could be ten times less.

In fact, in many ways the problem of studying the ocean is much larger. After all, at a depth of only a couple of kilometers, the pressure becomes simply unimaginable, which is why a completely scanty amount of the deep part of the ocean has been explored so far. If new technologies do not appear at the root, then people will not soon know what is hidden in the oceans of the Earth.

7. The largest earthly creature

Many people have speculated about what kind of sea monsters might be lurking at depths where humans can't reach. Giant squids, which were previously considered a myth, have already been found, which can really reach incredible sizes. In fact, even many normal fish can grow to nightmarishly large sizes under the right conditions in the deep ocean.

It is not surprising that people have been thinking for a long time, what is the biggest and most terrible thing that can live in the depths. Even if you remember the time of the dinosaurs, the largest creature did not exceed the size of the modern blue whale. However, much of the ocean remains unexplored, especially in deeper areas, so no one knows what monstrously huge creatures lurk almost next to people.

8. The ocean is 95 percent unexplored

Some may have heard that the ocean is "95 percent unexplored". Marine biologists consider this to be a very gross oversimplification. Scientists today, using satellites, radar and mathematical calculations, have created a map of the ocean floor with a maximum resolution of 5 kilometers. While these are still very rough sketches, marine biologists have a pretty good idea of ​​where depressions and mountain ranges are in the ocean.

However, marine biologist John Copley, while pointing out the fallacy of the meme, also admitted to Scientific American that humans have actually explored far less than 5 percent of the ocean.

9. Methane hydrate - a new source of energy

Methane hydrate - strange crystalline structures of water and methane frozen together. Ever since the discovery of gas hydrate deposits decades ago, governments have begun to seriously explore hydrates as a form of alternative energy.

Methane hydrates are certainly very useful in case of a shortage of other natural gases, but there are certain problems. First, as with any subsea exploration, commercial production will be very expensive. And secondly, environmentalists fear that underwater drilling can lead to real disasters.

10. Unraveling the sound of "Bloop"

Back in 1997, people were baffled by sound recorded underwater near South America. It was loud enough to be clearly picked up by two different stations a few kilometers apart, and many people thought it was the sound of a colossal deep sea creature.

Some people have even suggested that this is the notorious Cthulhu, whose mythical place of imprisonment (the underwater city of R'Lieh) is supposedly located a couple of thousand kilometers from the stations that picked up the sound. In the end, scientists came to the conclusion that the sounds were just the crackling of ice shelves cracking underwater.

While many people look into space in awe, they forget that incredible vistas of unexplored wonders may be much closer - in the earth's oceans. As technology improves, the ocean continues to reveal more and more secrets.

Hello everyone!

I really love various popular science programs and my favorite ones are about the ocean) There is absolute space next to us, most of the ocean has not been studied and we don’t even realize that these depths can hide .. If we imagine the volumes of water and the depth of the ocean - it's really shocking!

Here are the most mysterious places in the oceans:

Bermuda Triangle

The oceanic region, whose area is about a million square kilometers, is conditionally limited by the line Florida - Bermuda - Puerto Rico - Bahamas - Florida. For the first time, mysterious cases of loss of people and equipment were recorded here in the 40s of the twentieth century. So, the Avenger bombers in the amount of 5 pieces disappeared in this sector on December 5, 1945. At the same time, the pilots kept in touch with the base until the last moment and stated that they could not navigate and were immersed in "white water". The seaplane sent to rescue the pilots disappeared just like the bombers. In just fifty years, more than 50 ships and aircraft have disappeared here. However, since the 80s of the last century, Bermuda has significantly moderated its appetite. Analysts, scientists and simple dreamers tried to explain the essence of this unusual phenomenon. Fantastic and semi-scientific versions were put forward: aliens, a giant octopus, otherworldly forces. However, Joseph Monaghan, a scientist at Monash University, Australia, put forward one of the more plausible theories. The American Journal of Physics in 2003 published his article titled: "Can a Bubble Swallow a Ship?" Modeling various options, he proved that such an alternative is possible. The theory received a wide response from other scientists. It is as follows. The ocean floor has significant reserves of hydrogen sulfide and methane (gas hydrates). Due to the mobility of lithospheric plates, methane changes its state of aggregation from solid to gaseous and rises to the surface, foaming water. As a result, the density of water drops sharply, ships can go to the bottom, and aircraft can lose control.

There is another phenomenon characteristic of Bermuda. This is the "Flying Dutchman": a completely whole ship, on which not a single person remained, as if someone had stolen them. Scientists believe that this could lead to infrasound. It can be created by gas bubbles when they come out of the water to the surface. 8-12 hertz are very dangerous and destructive for humans. There is another version of the formation of infrasound. It can appear during strong winds or storms by rubbing air against sea waves. It is infrasound that causes panic attacks in a person, as well as internal resonance, which leads to rupture of blood vessels and the heart. It is possible that the team themselves jumped overboard to get rid of this feeling. But the explanation for why about 30 years ago the Bermudas began to deny themselves the pleasure of "swallowing" large objects has not yet been found. A scholar such as Lawrence David Kouchet believes that the mystery never existed. It was invented by the people themselves. He even wrote a book, The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, published in 1975, to validate his idea. He was the first person to systematically study the issue, having studied weather reports, Coast Guard reports, insurance company reports and internal investigations. However, his conclusions are somewhat doubtful, because the facts of abnormally large losses of ships and aircraft in this area are confirmed by statistics. There are other peculiarities: at this point compasses go crazy and don't work properly. Another unusual detail is the earth's gravity. In the Bermuda region, it is significantly higher than in other parts of the world. Thanks to this feature, the Gulf Stream is formed, carrying warm air towards Europe. Scientists explain the decrease in the number of incomprehensible accidents, losses and disappearances by the good technical condition of modern technology. It is equipped with various navigation systems, including space ones, which allows you to restore lost control over an aircraft or ship.

Persian Gulf and East Indian Ocean

In this area, unusual and equally inexplicable phenomena have been noted: huge circles that glow on the water and rotate. Once their origin was explained by the theory of Kurt Kalle, an oceanologist from Germany. He noted that these circles can appear as a result of various underwater earthquakes, due to which the natural glow of plankton occurs. Since the shock waves are located in all directions, there is an effect of a luminous wheel rotating around its axis. But now the hypothesis causes a lot of controversy, because it does not explain many points why the "wheels" rotate and change shape. It is the correct shape of the underwater luminous circles that suggests that this could be a UFO. The speed of rotation is enormous, and sometimes people also notice the appearance of rays: very similar to aircraft.

Sandy Island

Sandy is a 60 mile long lost sandy island located between Australia and New Caledonia in the Coral Sea. It first appeared on Google Maps in 2000 and hasn't been heard from for more than ten years. In 2012, a liner drifted in these waters, the crew of which was very surprised by the readings of navigation instruments. Nearby there should have been a huge island, but for many miles around only the expanse of the sea stretched. Sandy instantly interested both geographers and geologists in many countries. To clarify the situation, a research vessel was sent to known coordinates. The captain approached the place carefully, afraid to run aground, but his fears were not confirmed. Instruments set a depth of 1400 meters. There really was no island. Representatives of Google Earth said that a mistake on their part is impossible, since when compiling maps they consult with the world's largest experts in the field of geography. According to the head of the Australian scientific expedition, Mariah Seton, the error could have crept into the database of the world's coastline, which is used to make all the largest maps. When journalists decided that such a serious company as Google does not want to admit the banal errors of digitization, new facts surfaced. A British Admiralty report from 1908 was found in the Auckland Museum, which mentions an island sighted by sailors of the whaling ship Velocity in 1876. When the captain of the ship returned from sailing, he told about several islands, both large and small, one of which was Sandy. He noted that the islands stretched from north to south along the meridian 159° 57' east and between 19° 7' and 19° 20' south latitude.

Archival records also report a certain sandy island, discovered in 1774 by Captain James Cook, 420 km further east at almost the same latitude, and at a point just under 164 degrees longitude. When it turned out that Sandy was present on almost all the old maps of sailors from different countries, the version with incorrect digitization was completely excluded. And it is unlikely that the island was a mistake that cartographers blindly copied from each other. Where the whole island has gone, only the ocean knows...

Point Nemo

Once upon a time there was Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Writer. And he wrote once, in 1928, the legendary story "The Call of Cthulhu". About a terrible monster that lives at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean among the ruins of a sunken city called R'lyeh. And what is characteristic - not just somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. The author indicates specific coordinates: "47 degrees 9 minutes south latitude and 126 degrees 43 minutes west longitude."

Now fast forward to 1992. Then the Croatian engineer and researcher Hrvoje Lukatela decided to determine the most remote and inaccessible point of the globe for people. It turned out 48 degrees 52 minutes south latitude and 123 degrees 23 minutes west longitude. Pretty close to Cthulhu's lair. However, the engineer turned out to be a fan of another writer - Jules Verne - and decided to name this place in honor of Captain Nemo, since it was there that the unsociable captain of the Nautilus would prefer to live.

But Lovecraft still reminded of himself in 1997. In the summer of 1997, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recorded a low-frequency sound, which was nicknamed Bloop ("Boole"). The general nature of the sound suggested that it was emitted by a living creature, but of gigantic size, much larger than the blue whale. An octopus sits there, a dead city or a giant submarine rests - it is not known. But we can definitely say that there is a whole city of space ruins: this place has long been noted as the safest place for flooding spent satellites, ships, and so on. For example, there are the remains of the Soviet Mir station. Six stations "Salyut". SpaceX rocket. Five space trucks, including the ship Jules Verne.

Sea Devil

The area, which received such a poetic name, is located in the Pacific Ocean: a hundred kilometers from Tokyo, then to the northern Philippine Islands, and with the last point at the island of Guam. And although the area is not marked on the maps, sailors try to stay away from it. The fact is that storms often spontaneously arise here, after which a dead calm is immediately born. It is impossible to meet dolphins, whales, birds do not fly here. In the early 1950s, nine ships disappeared here without a trace in just five years. One of the most inexplicable cases occurred in 1955, when an entire scientific expedition called Kale-maru-5 went missing. There is also high seismic activity. The bottom of the region has not yet formed, volcanic islands constantly appear on its surface, while others disappear. It is for this reason that the sudden disappearance of ships is explained by poor navigation. However, there are scientists, according to whom high cyclonic activity caused the disappearance of ships. Extremely powerful typhoons and cyclones have been noted in this area, which appear in the Pacific Ocean, near the Mariana Islands, in the South China Sea and other areas located nearby. All of them pass through the Devil's Sea, making the area a difficult place to move around.

Sargasso Sea

The Sargasso Sea, which lies southeast of the Bermuda Triangle, is often confused with its northern neighbor. According to some scientists, all the riddles of Bermuda can find their answers in the Sargasso Sea. But the local phenomena are completely different, albeit no less mysterious. This sea is located in the central part of the Atlantic Ocean, and it owes its name to the unusual feature of the square. The fact is that the currents here move clockwise, and a huge concentration of Sargasso algae, as well as garbage left by man, has formed in the sea zone. Forming a huge funnel, this sea lives its own, very special life. Temperatures inside the sea are much higher outside. Calm is observed here all the time, and the crews of the ships note unusual mirages. They say that the sun rises from two sides of the world at once. Many species of fish spawn here, and the area itself poses a certain seismic threat. Previously, there were legends that the local algae eat a person, but now they only laugh at this. However, Richard Sylvester, a scientist at the famous Western Australian University, suggested that the Sargasso Sea itself is a huge centrifuge. It creates small whirlpools that reach the Bermuda Triangle. Small cyclones, where water and air move in a circle, are sufficient to swallow a person.

Ancient and modern historical literature reports on the meeting of military and civilian sailors with mysterious animals of the seas and oceans.
Witnesses of these unsafe encounters with monsters unknown to science were both our domestic and foreign citizens, who gave information about them.
For example, former naval officer Yu. Starikov reported that in 1953, in the vicinity of Kunashir Island (South Kuril Islands), together with the crew of the ship, he saw a sea serpent that swam not far from the ship at high speed, and then, lowering its head on a long neck into the water, dived without causing splashes.

Another eyewitness, naval officer Yu. Litvinenko, in 1955, together with other members of the crew of sailors, also saw a huge snake in the Tatar Strait, the head of which was the size of a large watermelon and protruded 4 meters above the water. They determined the length of the body at 25 meters.

In the Barents Sea in 1959, the crew of the SKR-55 patrol ship under the command of Captain A. Lezov repeatedly met a swimming kite.
The snakes in the northern seas were dark brown, while those in the southern seas off Antarctica were light brown and swam in groups of up to 30 individuals.
In July 1966, the American travelers Blyth and Ridgway, while in the Atlantic Ocean on an ordinary rowing boat, met at night with the Great Sea Serpent. They report that a large snake-like head on a long, flexible neck rose from the water. Bulging eyes the size of a saucer, flickering with a greenish light, examined people. The creature swam, overtaking the boat, and continued to examine the travelers, turning its flat head in their direction. Soon, an animal with a massive powerful body, bending its neck, dived under the water, leaving behind a luminous trail. Describing what they saw, they reported that it was very scary and embraced the feeling of an unprotected rabbit in front of a boa constrictor. People become numb even under the gaze of a far-flying kite.

For example, Canadian fisherman George Zegers, who fished in the area of ​​about. Vancouver, reported: “Suddenly I felt very strange. A shiver ran down his back. I felt someone's eyes on me and looked around. About 50 meters from the boat, a head towered on the neck with a diameter of 30 cm and a length of more than a meter. Two pitch-black eyes stared at me intently. They were big on the head. The head was about 40 cm in diameter and rose 3 meters above the water. The animal watched for no more than a minute and, turning away, swam away. On his back was a sort of dark brown mane."

On July 14, 1993, Canadian pilots Don Berends and James Wells on a Cessna seaplane saw in the area of ​​\u200b\u200babout. Vancouver in Saanish Bay two gray-blue snakes, which, when moving, curved in a vertical plane. Researcher Dr. Bousfield believes that in the month of July, Saanish Bay is a breeding ground for these creatures. At the same time, cubs are produced as live births on the shore at night.

A well-known modern zoologist, professor at the Royal Institute of Natural History in Brussels, Bernard Euvelmans, collected and systematized many such observations in the book "The Giant Sea Serpent". He subdivided them into nine main classes, which include those that look like seals.

Snakes have left a noticeable mark in the mythology of many peoples of the world. They are especially revered in the culture of the East. Here they are considered kind to people, and not a fiend, as in Europe. The eastern "king of dragons" is very powerful and has a length of 0.5 km. All natural elements obey him. He has a werewolf and can take the form of a gray-haired old man. He lives in an underwater palace and is the custodian of untold riches. He controls the oceans, seas, rivers, as well as the economy of all 5 underwater kingdoms, which include dragons of green, red, yellow, white and black countries of the North and the Earth. His retinue is made up of the kings of the dragons of all the seas, along with their wives, daughters, governors. Serpents (dragons) are considered intelligent and non-bloodthirsty.
At the same time, European mythology is replete with fanatically uncompromising struggle with dragons, starting with Zeus, Hercules and others, up to the ideologists of the modern machine-spiritual world.

At the beginning of the XVI century. Swedish scientist Olaus Magnus, in his historical and geographical work “The Sea Map”, with comments, reports on the dangers posed by sea monsters emerging from the depths of the sea. They were dangerous for sailors sailing on small ships. There are also cases when the crew of the ships left the ship for no apparent reason. There were only trembling cats and untouched food on the table.
In recent decades, reports have often appeared in the press that whales, sharks and dolphins are washed ashore in large numbers in different places on the planet. The most massive emissions of animals are observed off the coast of South and North America, South Africa, Australia (Tasmania), and Japan. The death of animals by years is: 1970 - 250 pcs., 1987 - 3000 pcs., 1988 - 207 pcs., 1989 - 340 pcs. This is incomplete data. Currently, about 130 areas of death of whales, dolphins, and sharks are known.

Mass throwing of animals ashore falls on the period from December to March. Some animals, escaping from a source invisible to us, swim to the shore at great speed, while others get ashore slowly but stubbornly. Being returned by people again to the ocean, they again strive to land. But if these animals were taken to another place and released into the sea, then they sailed away.

In the United States, off the Pacific coast, there is a place where dolphins annually pass one or two along the coast in front of thousands of spectators. This phenomenon people called "parade". What caused the death of animals and their "parades"? So far, scientists believe that the cause of this phenomenon may be some kind of physical or physico-biological effect on animals from an unknown source.

Studies conducted with the participation of clairvoyant specialists indicate that cetaceans are thrown out under the influence of powerful energy-wave effects that come from an animal that looks like a giant "sea lion" or a seal. Let's call it the "ocean lion" (OL).
The brain of OL is somewhat more developed than that of dolphins, and can, by hypnotizing, emit high-frequency energy-wave impulses that can plunge cetaceans into a panic or fatal state. This is what makes them flee if they fall into the radiation sector of the OL. The view of this OL and the boundaries of its pulse-wave action are shown in the figure below.

The most distant waves cause anxiety in animals, and the middle ones cause fear, panic, and death.
A similar state of people is observed in certain places in Tibet, the Himalayas, the Tien Shan, as well as when meeting with large UFOs. In such cases, unconscious anxiety is initially felt. With further approach to the object, fear, horror, and then an insurmountable invisible air barrier appear. When you try to pierce this barrier with a stick, it inexplicably shortens by the amount of its penetration into the "barrier". Numerous examples of the energy and hypnotic effects of snakes on animals and even people have been known for a long time. Boas and even snakes can hypnotize and attract prey (rabbit, frog, etc.) with their eyes.

As for the OL, they live in families in ocean caves, which are connected by flooded passages to the air caves of the islands and coasts of the continents. There are at least seven families on the planet. Off Greenland, east of the Caribbean Sea, east of Tierra del Fuego, in the south of the Indian Ocean (near Antarctica), off the Solomon Islands, in the Chukchi Sea (north of Wrangel Island). Probably, the territory of the ocean is divided between them into zones of influence, as in land animals and people. OLs do not eat cetaceans, they only expel them from their territory by the power of their special energy impact. Studies show that OLs in the Chukchi Sea live approximately 350 km north of the island. Wrangel. This made it possible to establish the presence there of two rocky islands 20 and 6 km long, rising above the water up to 50-70 meters (see the figure below). Legends say that about two hundred years ago there were hunters on the big island, hiding from the weather in long catacomb caves, around which there were the remains of some large stone structures. Stone and copper tools were also found there. There were also numerous signs on the stones. These islands are waiting for their explorers - archaeologists and geologists. It is possible that these islands are similar to about. Easter. The mysteries and abilities of ocean animals indicate the need to study the energy-wave radiation of aquatic animals and terrestrial reptiles, which are given to them by nature.
