2/3 of the entire space on Earth is occupied by the World Ocean. To date, only 5% of it has been studied. In addition, the underwater environment is very aggressively “treats” humanity. Every year, scientists say: the secrets of the underwater depths are only increasing, which means that the likelihood that intelligent life may exist deep under the surface of the water is growing.
Legends and myths
In ancient Japan, there were many legends about people who could live underwater. Many drawings found by archaeological expeditions in the most remote areas of the country depict creatures that look like people, but have webbed toes. On the faces of these creatures there is something similar to a diver's mask, and from it there is a tube to the apparatus on the back. Scientists assume that this is a scuba diver from the ancient world.
But the Caspian residents are sure that “underwater people” live in the Caspian waters. There are many recorded documents in which oil workers met these creatures. According to some scientists, the underwater representatives were closely connected with aliens.
There is a version that once man lived in water, but for some unknown reason lost contact with this element. Experts say: the death of a drowning person does not occur because water fills the lungs. In this case, the body's defense process is triggered – a mechanism is activated that squeezes the ring muscle of the throat and suffocation occurs. In order for a person to be able to breathe freely in water, this function must be turned off. Newborns do not have such a mechanism. In fact, it is acquired during life. This means that in ancient times, man felt great in water, but over time he lost this ability.
If man came out of the waters of the World Ocean, perhaps there remained some of his representatives who now inhabit this element? Therefore, we can say for sure that intelligent life exists under water.
One American researcher has put forward a sensational version that millions of years ago a civilization settled underwater, which is hundreds of thousands of years ahead of humans. And although this hypothesis seems strange to many, there are many facts that support it.
Japanese fishermen believe in the existence of strange humanoid amphibian creatures with a shell-like structure on their backs. Fishermen claimed to have encountered them many times while fishing. And it is not only in Japan that people talk about strange underwater creatures.
In the mythology of the ancient Sumerian civilization, experts have found hundreds of references to fish-men who lived in the waters of the Persian Gulf. In addition, ancient clay tablets depict contact between these creatures and humans. The legends of the Sumerians speak of ancient underwater inhabitants who taught the local population science, writing, agriculture, and construction. These creatures were called “Oans.” They spoke the local language, did not eat, and only made contact during the day. As soon as it got dark, the creatures went under water.
Perhaps the legends are not fiction, because according to modern science, life originated in the sea, where there is everything for its existence. Why couldn't it become intelligent?
Random encounters with underwater inhabitants
Recently, information has appeared in the media about cases in which people encounter underwater intelligent beings.
In 1974, on the Kanin Peninsula in a Nenets village, three schoolchildren were relaxing on the bank of a river that flows into the White Sea. Just a few meters away from them, a strange humanoid creature with a long tail, completely covered in long black hair, emerged from the water. This creature, as if on suction cups, climbed up the steep cliff, after which it disappeared. And when the schoolchildren called adults, they discovered strange footprints in the sand, similar to human ones, but longer and narrower.
It is difficult to believe children's stories, because their rich imagination can play a cruel joke. However, when military divers encounter such underwater inhabitants, it is worth thinking about. This incident occurred on the shore of Lake Baikal in Russia. Military divers were practicing a combat dive, when one of them surfaced and began to scream. From his cursory story, colleagues learned that a creature very much resembling a man swam next to him, but its height was more than 3 meters, then two more such creatures followed it. At a depth of about 50 meters, these “ichthyanders” were without masks and scuba gear. All they had on were silver suits and helmets resembling a ball.
The leader of the group decided to detain the strange subjects. Seven well-trained divers were sent to capture them. Unfortunately, this operation ended with the death of several specialists.
The group tracked the creature and threw a metal net over it. Suddenly, a strong blow threw all the divers to the surface of the lake. Even a non-specialist would understand that from such a depth the ascent should be slow, with stops, and then the person was placed in a pressure chamber to prevent decompression sickness. The group had only one such device. Four people were disabled for life, and three died.
Now scientists are arguing about which civilization a person will communicate with faster – underwater or space. Perhaps no one will ever make contact with us – aggressive, cruel, unbalanced and greedy? Or maybe contact has already been established, they just don’t tell us anything?
Skeptical scientists and researchers of the depths of the World Ocean do not believe in the existence of underwater inhabitants. However, there are more solid facts captured in photos and videos. These are mysterious underwater vehicles, the origin and design of which are unknown to modern science and can hardly be brushed aside.
In 1960, near the coast of Argentina, two patrol ships encountered giant underwater submarines. One was on the bottom, the second was above it. The patrol ship's crew tried to raise the objects to the surface by throwing depth charges. But these mysterious devices survived and, at a huge speed, which is not typical for modern submarines, left the ships. The Argentine military began to shoot at them with all their guns, and they split into 6 smaller boats and disappeared into the depths.
The American military also encountered mysterious underwater ships. In 1963, near Puerto Rico, they recorded an object moving underwater at a speed of 300 km/h. This is 3 times faster than the most modern submarine. In addition, the submarine maneuvered in a vertical position, which completely contradicted human logic.
UFO underwater
Another interesting and mysterious place scientists consider the Sibinsky Lakes of Kazakhstan. In their opinion, in this area there is a base of alien creatures under water at great depths. This is really an argument. Experts in this area have recorded hundreds of cases when alien spacecraft “dives” into the lake. Scientists have dozens of photographs from the shore of these reservoirs, which show a variety of UFOs flying out from great depths or scanning the surface of the lakes. Perhaps the Sibinsky Lakes, due to their depth, are a shelter for an underwater base of alien ships.
Underwater civilization?
Doctor of medical sciences and researcher of paranormal phenomena Ernst Muldashev is sure that at the bottom of many deep seas and lakes there is a highly developed civilization with flying machines that can move underwater. And people take these UFOs for alien spaceships.
Quite recently, Russian divers explored the ferry “Salem Express”, which sank in 1991. The group members tell a strange story: every time they dived and explored the ship, they were accompanied by a creature that looked like a man, but with long arms and legs. And during an expedition to explore a military ship that sank in the Philippines, a similar creature was also nearby. And when a difficult situation arose that could lead to the death of the divers, this intelligent creature almost instantly pushed them out of the water. At the same time, the guys did not suffer at all from the sudden rise.
Why don't they contact us?
The main reason is our primitiveness. They simply observe us from the side, using the same UFOs or underwater animals. As already mentioned, modern science has studied the World Ocean no more than 5%. And what is further, or rather deeper? Therefore, when we encounter some monsters, humanoids or UFOs, we think that we imagined it, and simply close our eyes to everything, so as not to be considered crazy. And if the military or specialists encounter this, the information is classified and kept behind “seven locks”.
Why do modern experts in the field of studying the deep waters pay so little attention to ancient legends? After all, they were not born by aliens from outer space, but by ordinary people. They often mention intelligent beings whose life takes place under water. This question affects all cultures of the world. Is it really that the main thing is not seen in this – an underwater civilization exists, and it is wiser than human.
Another confirmation of the existence of intelligent underwater life are the findings found in the waters of the World Ocean. Experts have not been able to explain their purpose. But let's hope that for the sake of truth, scientists will do everything and conduct more thorough research to bring humanity at least a few steps closer to the solution.
Unfortunately, humans cannot dive deep underwater. Technologies are not capable of withstanding the loads of great depths, which remain unexplored. Perhaps, in the near future, modern technologies will rise to a new level, and then we can expect contact with the masters of the ocean expanses. But humanity needs to think about its future. If we do not change, do not change our attitude to the world around us, to inexplicable phenomena, no other developed civilization will want to contact us – be it in space or in the depths of the World Ocean.
