The Association of Maritime Research (AMR) is offering rewards for sightings of strange phenomena on the South Coast after a couple spotted a ‘something’ as they walked along Boulogne Harbour.
Thierry and Sophie were walking at the Boulogne Harbour on April 20 with the intention of filming boats sailing out to sea.
As Thierry was filming, he became aware of a large shape which appeared on the horizon. He zoomed the camera in to focus and saw a huge, dark, rapidly moving object, which disappeared within a matter of seconds.
Something of an amateur expert about the sea and marine life, he was convinced that he had sighted some phenomenon as yet unseen by man. He decided to contact the AMR, which is pursuing further investigations.
Subsequently, the AMR has collected a substantial number of testimonials from different areas. The strong similarities between the descriptions seem to confirm the existence of a ‘gigantic’ and extremely ‘fast-moving’ creature off our shores.
The AMR, which was created in 1901 to promote a better understanding of deep-sea life and curious and unknown phenomena, is appealing for witnesses of said phenomena to come forward and help them find the Channel Creature, or similar sea monsters.
Apparently, anyone who gives evidence leading directly to proof of the creature’s existence will receive a reward.
Maybe that’s who Rob Hoskins of Transition Culture should get in touch with after his dodgy sightings in the sea while on the train between Exeter and Newton Abbot.
