Welcome to episode 8 of Around the Campfire. It's been kind of a long while since our last episode but after watching this one, I think you will find it worth the wait. You know the human mind is a fascinating thing. It can do things that we just don't understand or even realize. Dorraine lists 5 quirks of the human brain that can mess with our perception.

Here is episode 8

We all know that Florida is home to a large diversity of animals, but is it home to lake monsters?
I recently got a report in, which is an older sighting, of what the witness describes as a lake monster. So, I got to looking at possible lake monsters in Florida and there is a few of them. You have the Lake Clinch monster, that some say is 30 foot long and has a humped back. Then there is Muck monster that has been seen in Lake Worth Lagoon. Plus there is St. Augustine monster and a few others as well. Florida has numerous lakes, lagoons, rivers and streams that some say are all interconnected thanks to underground tunnels. So there is a history of sightings in the state.

Here is the recent report that I received.

- Start Report -

Name: Mark

Email Address: On file

State: Florida

County: Saint Johns

Date of Sighting: 1978 or 1979

Time of Day: 11 am

Nearest Town: ? North part of the bay

Length of Sighting: 15 seconds

How many Witnesses: Just me

Any Photos/Videos: No

Describe sighting in detail:

A friend and I took his father's boat out to drink beer and water ski. He was driving, I was in the back looking back. We were fairly close to some shoreline to the east moving at near top speed. I was looking at the shoreline and within I would say 50 feet I saw a serpent with two humps swimming north.

It was, I would guess, 20 to 25 feet long and 1+ foot diameter. The thing that was very identifiable was the color. It was dark brown with mustard yellow spots that were pretty big. I watched it as we went south and it went north, at first it was like wtf, then I closed my eyes and opened them again and of course it was still there.

It all happened so fast that I was afraid if I told my friend that by the time he heard me and turned around to look (he was being very careful concentrating on driving so close to the shore) it would be gone. So I just kept my mouth shut and hadn't told anyone until years later. I'm just relating this now because I was doing some research on other sightings to see if any matched up. I saw your sight and am reporting this to someone who may find the data interesting. Sorry I don't have a lot of facts like date/year, exact location or image but I tell you it's true.

Thanks goes to Mark for the report. In my limited research of lake monsters in Florida, it seem there was a lot of reported sightings in the late 70's. So, Mark's sighting seems to fall right in a peak time with other sightings. It should be noted that Mark was from another state and had drove into Florida for a visit, and that is probably why he was unfamiliar with names and exact locations.



Thanks

As some of you may know a few days ago I saw a UFO. I posted about it (here) and also told about my sighting on video (here). Well, today I thought I would take some time and see if I could find a sighting that was similar to what I saw and I was able to find something really close.

I found a video shot by journalist Raul Puma of an object that looks almost exactly like what I saw. The only thing that I think was a little different is that, what I saw appeared to be a little more round.  Puma shot his video in the state of Vilcabamba, city of Pucyura.


Here is Raul Puma's video of the UFO.


yep, that is almost identical to what I saw. I'm glad Puma was able to capture this on video as I was unable to.

I had not seen this video prior to my sighting. Some have suggested that his was part of some program by Google, called Loon. I do not think what I saw was associated with Google at all. What I saw became see-thru and then disappeared. I doubt Google has something like that floating around the sky. 

Thanks
