The Lagarfljótsormur, Lagarfljót worm, (or simply Iceland Worm Monster) is an Icelandic lake cryptid which is purported to live in the lake Lagarfljót in the town of Egilsstaðir. Sightings have been logged since 1345 and continue into the 21st century, including a 2012 video supposedly showing the creature swimming.
An origin of the creature is given in Jón Árnason's collection of Icelandic folktales and legends published in 1862. The serpentine creature is said to live in Lagarfljót,[2][3] a freshwater, below-sea-level, glacial-fed lake which has very poor visibility as a result of siltation.[4] It is described as longer than a bus, or 39 feet (12 m), and has also been reported outside the water, lying coiled up or slithering into the trees.[5][6] It is a "many humps" type of lake monster, rather than the simply serpentine type of, for example, the Loch Ness Monster.[6] The Lagarfljót Worm has been sighted several times in modern times, including in 1963 by the head of the Icelandic National Forest Service, Sigurður Blöndal, and in 1998 by a teacher and students at Hallormsstaðir School.[6] In 1983, contractors laying a telephone cable measured a large shifting mass near the eastern shore when performing preliminary depth measurements, and when they later retrieved the non-functional cable, found that it was broken where it had lain over the anomaly: "This cable that was specially engineered so it wouldn’t kink was wound in several places and badly torn and damaged in 22 different places . . . . I believe we dragged the cable directly over the belly of the beast. Unless it was through its mouth."[6] In February 2012, the Icelandic national broadcaster, RÚV, published a video thought to show the Lagarfljót Worm swimming in snow-covered icy water.[3] Subsequently this was explained as probably being an inanimate object moved by the rapid current, since it was making no progress through the water.[7] A truth commission reported in August 2014 that members were divided about the video but saw no reason to doubt the existence of the creature,[8] and an expert panel later judged the video genuine.[9][10][11] A sightseeing boat named Lagarfljótsormurinn, beginning operations on the lake in 1999,[4] and the Gunnar Gunnarsson Institution in Skriðuklaustur seek to preserve the traditions of the Lagarfljót Worm for cultural and tourism purposes. MythosThe legend of the worm is first mentioned in the Icelandic Annals of 1345. Sightings were considered to portend a great event such as a natural disaster.[6] According to the folk tradition recorded by Jón Árnason, the great serpent in Lagarfljót grew out of a small "lingworm" or heath-dragon; a girl was given a gold ring by her mother, and asked how she might best derive profit from the gold, was told to place it under a lingworm.[2] She did so, and put it in the top of her linen chest for a few days, but then found that the little dragon had grown so large, it had broken open the chest. Frightened, she threw both it and the gold into the lake,[3] where the serpent continued to grow and terrorized the countryside, spitting poison and killing people and animals. Two Finns called in to destroy it and retrieve the gold said that they had managed to tie its head and tail to the bottom of the lake[6] but it was impossible to kill it because there was a still larger dragon underneath. Suggested explanationsGases rising from the lakebed create openings in the ice,[4] blow debris from the lake bottom to the surface, and sometimes warp the atmosphere, creating optical illusions. Flotsam from the mountain sides and glaciers also collects in tangles that can look like some sort of monster. According to Helgi Hallgrímsson, an Icelandic biologist who has extensively studied the lake, both of these could explain some but not all of the sightings, while traditional legendary material could explain some of the stories.[6]

March 1995, Puerto Rico. A local farmer discovered eight of his sheep dead. In the bodies of animals there is no drop of blood. Investigators found on their chest in a three round holes. According to many animals were just killed by the evil-doers, as often happens in Latin America. Five months later, the attacks have become more frequent. In August 1995, more than 150 domestic animals were killed by a mysterious predator in the vicinity of the town of Puerto Rican Kanovanas. In most cases, the blood of animals is drained through a small precision holes in their bodies. Among the victims there are many goats, which makes local call killer El Chupacabras-translated from Spanish "Smučeŝiât goats ' (from the verb chupar-suck and cabra – a sheep). What makes the case so close, is the fact that the victims of the mystical creature look the same helpless way – with a few small holes drilled into the cranial cavity or thorax, and drained of blood and internal organs in these holes.

Lovers of mysteries ascribed all such assaults on the legendary Puerto Rican creature known as the vampire of Mocha, and investigating the cases and biologists blame for Coyotes and other predators. Once, however, only for a few weeks in the same way and others were killed domestic animals in the surrounding farms, and there is no indication of human intervention in the country, the press immediately gave birth to the legend of El Chupacabra. Just a few months, it appears that almost all of America is constantly terrorized by the invasion of the Chupacabra- daily reports of animals with drained blood in the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Panama, Peru, Brazil and, of course, the United States and Mexico. In 2004 in the United States have found the corpses of three strange-looking creatures that most likely caused the death of many animals in the area. After extensive DNA analysis proved that these are coyotes, diseased by a very strange form of Mange. This evidence further ignite the imagination of the defenders of the Chupacabra. They immediately recognized that a part of the thousands of attacks on domestic animals in the Americas are due to known biology of species, but do not explain all the cases.

In addition to the sleep of harassing Russians, El Chupacabra provoking fans of mysteries with a simple question – what is it and where did it come from? Alien: according to perhaps the most popular theory right now El Chupacabra is forgotten or deliberately abandoned a long time ago on our planet the evil pet of a foreign race. Another branch of the same passage does admittedly his beliefs that the creature is a representative of an alien civilization. As confirmation of this they state that always in cities in Puerto Rico and Mexico, where the evening people have observed UFOS in the morning discovering animals with blood drained.Genetic experiment: Many people believe that El Chupacabra is a genetic experiment of the American Government. The fact is that in Puerto Rico, near the villages, where they watched the first cases of domestic animals, attacked by El Chupacabra, there is a top secret u.s. Government Laboratory that officially deals with "research". In 1995, the territory of Puerto Rico was hit by a strong cyclone.

According to them, the attacks are the work of wild animals (dogs, wolves, jackals, monkeys, bats, even), which most likely become sick or scabies, or rabies. It is not yet rejected the idea that the killing of domestic animals are the work of mentally ill people who are members of a cult, or even of you hear that. ![]() One of the most famous cases of observation of a UFO, Roswell is, "called, Roswell, the mystery". Place of action is the United States, the State of New Mexico, near the town of Roswell, and time of action-July 1, 1947. Then letec″t-veteran Richard Renken monitor fields round objects, flying at a speed of 50 miles in part, arranged in the form of a letter, V. The same thing and saw a woman from the same town. Later, on July 2, 1947, around 11.03 hours family saw bright sacred oval flying object, leave behind a red light and flying to the Northwest of Roswell. Farmer did exactly the same time heard a powerful blast. The next day-July 3, he along with the small son of his neighbors noticed the pasture farm, light metal pieces, which were scattered indiscriminately on small area. It turned out that the object seen by the family couple crashed in a farmer's ranch, after it exploded in the air on the night of July 2, 1947, due to bad weather and magnetic storms. After having taken a few pieces to show his neighbors, farmer took them in the town of Roswell, is 130 km around. from his farm and showed them to the Sheriff, who is izumil by what he saw. The pieces not been any deformations, even when hit with a hammer, in addition, on some of them, there were strange characters. In turn, the Sheriff immediately contacted the Commander of the elite American air force base. After having carefully reviewed the Commander immediately appointed a special group of officers, which the farmer took in his mansion. There were still found metal debris, and about two miles and the ship was found, partially embedded in the ground. Scattered around him were lying four dead bodies of the crew, which was later made the assumption that are katapultirali just moments before the crash. The view was pathetic. The bodies of the pilots were wearing elastic silver briefs and looked terrible, because it does not resemble humans. They together with the remains of the ship were loaded on two trucks and taken to the base that night. Sent to a specialized division of the military police who split off the whole area around the farm. Send a press release and on the strange find. That night, however, the Commander of the 8th air army called a press conference to refute widespread already, because the message from Washington was ordered the case to be immediately suppressed. Disclaimer is acute, particularly degrading and critical for officers from the air force base in Roswell. It was immediately published in all newspapers, with that horny spirits been tamed, and the military, placed the first message are subjected to humiliation and ridicule. That's where the experts established that the ship was manufactured by alien technology. Later the remains of the ship together with the dead bodies of aliens are taken to transport military aircraft to military air base, Wright Patterson ". There was the most advanced scientific and technical research centre on the United States at that time. That's where the experts established that the ship was manufactured by alien technology. Obtained from 1947. here information about UFOs are too much. These objects are shot on photos and movies. Between January 1947. and December 1952. Another 16 were found broken down alien ship, 65 bodies of aliens and 1 live alien, who survived the crash. 13 of these incidents are becoming within the United States, and 3 in foreign countries-Norway and Mexico. That's where the experts established that the ship was manufactured by alien technology. , Roswell is landmark event, although the story with the crash to be suppressed. It is not mentioned anywhere in the "blue book, the U.S. air force, where all UFO reports. The lack of any information about what happened in Roswell proves that there really is hiding something unusual. In this case, Roswell "Committee was formed, known as Majestic 12," it consists of 12 prominent scientists and military intelligence agents, and had the task to investigate and finds a landmark event in the history of mankind-contact with aliens. According to the Commission report, prepared for the Dwight D. Eisenhower before taking office as President, four, alien biological creatures "were found about 3 km from the site of the crash. Some argue that the two of them were still alive and one is resistance. It is believed that the bodies of aliens are reserved and are located in Los Alamos, New Mexico. And in another official document mentions, Majestic 12 "-this is an analysis of the UFO shot on 16 mm film by November 1980, made by the air force. From here it is clear that the Government still interested "to meetings with the UFO, which are researched in, the most profound secrets". To deny the existence of unexplained or aliens, UFO-related phenomena, is hardly a convenient cover. It is obvious, however, that UFOS endanger the interests and security of the ruling, as well as the scientific and religious dogmas. That's why all disguises and denying any contacts with aliens. Not only Roswell deserves attention. There are dozens more, not less interesting cases that remain hidden. It is said that President Kennedy was killed because he had no intention to declassify, the case Roswell ". Recently the FBI reopen document to the delight of the ufologist, tells about the mysterious events in Roswell. Many skeptics believe that case, Roswell "is fiction, but now they document dated 1950. in which it found that a FBI agent (his name is carefully disguised) reported the discovery in the desert of three flying saucers, in which there were no bodies of humanoid creatures in silvery suits, which were high just one meter. |
