Mermaids are actually real WITH NEW VIDEO

Animal planet has been going off recently: http://animal.discovery.com/tv-shows/mermaids/videos/mermaids.htm

So, saw one thread from back in april on this topic. Anyway, NOAA recorded some strange organic animal noises in the deep ocean that have never been heard before, they thought maybe it was a new type of dolphin or whale, this is called the bloop sample. Then starting off the coast of WA (fuck yeah) there was a mass beaching of whales due to US navy sonar testing. A body was found on shore by 2 local boys and recorded with shitty cell phone camera. The body was removed by government authorities before anyone else could examine it.

The navy denies this testing, NOAA had an audio recorder in the ocean near by the first WA location, it recorded the sounds of whales before/during/after the test, the sound of the test it self, and, the bloop.

Now before I go any farther, I would like to note that for all of recorded history, humans from all cultures have tales of mermaids. Drawings and other art work for centuries have depicted them. Fish have been caught out at see with spears in them. Sharks have been found killed with strange weapons still in them. And Fishing boats have reported sightings for as long as man has been at sea.

A corpse was found inside a shark off the coast of South Africa. it was the first time one had been examined by scientist outside of any government. As it was eaten it was only a partial corpse.

Then in march, a team off the coast of Greenland mapping the ocean floor for oil drilling caught this on 2 handheld cameras (this was live on animal planet so im having issues finding a clear video)

There is a lot more to this story obviously, if you have some time you should watch the animal planet shows on it. There is another humanoid species on earth still to this day, that is fucking incredible by it self, but that it lives in the ocean?! With a world that can only get smaller, its cool that there are still things out there we don't know about.
 
i watched the show last night. its danm good and some mayor in Isreal is offering 1,000,000 dollars for proof.
 
Fuck you op, watched the first minute and just saw it was dark as hell and couldn't see anything, and then shit.
 
the first shitty cell phone one does a bit, but the 2 boys went on public record multiple times saying they saw what they did, and the appearance of it and all the other presumed "real" sightings are all really similar.
 
That must have been around the time the History Channel was actually about history. Now all we get are shows about mermaids, aliens, and conspiracy theories.
 
We know more about space than we do about the underwater portion of our own planet. It is definitely possible. However,there is a certain amount of skepticism needed.
 
Quit quoting your middle school teacher. This statement is entirely false. We know less about space and it's billions and billions of stars/planets then we do about our dinky little ocean.
 
you might want to make sure you know what you're talking about before you put on your big boy pants and play internet tough guy. considering roughly 95% of our oceans still remain unexplored i'd say our oceans are far from 'dinky'
 
Compared to the universe? Hell yes they're dinky... I don't even understand how you're arguing this. Yes the oceans are mostly unexplored and mysterious but we know infinitely more about them than we do about anything outside of our solar system.
 
dude i watched the original a while ago (The Body Found) and I was stoked. A lot of my friends had seen it as well, and one of them said he looked it up and said it was fake. He said that only the noises were the actual real evidence anyone found, no body or anything. And that all the scientists were actors. Doesn't mean that he's right, thats just what a bit of research said
 
almost. you almost had me. thank god for looking ahead in that video. id give this thread a solid B- rating. although the idiotic responses may soon boost you to a B+.
 
ah fuck that first video. way to fake to be remotely credible.

also, the evolutionary problem with mermaids doesnt make a lick of sense. how mermaids would independently evolve a remotely humanesque torso and arms and head and shit makes no sense to me. and human dna couldnt possible combine with fish dna to make it like that either so as far as I can see, mermaids are scientifically impossible. end of discussion for me.
 
Why would we combine with fish dan? there are plenty of deep see mammals alive that don't need breaths for long periods of time, all we would need are webbed hands and maybe from moving our legs together in the same motion for years, the separation became pointless so they evolved into one back fin. Its definitely possible, not likely but why would you make that shit up
 
if there were mermaids who had evolved from humans, they wouldn't be hiding from humans, or hospitable towards them, and we would already know about them/communicate with them.

/thread
 
so youre suggesting that mermaids basically evolved from human forms that were living more in water, right? i can see that sorta making sense but why would we evolve a fish tail and remain human on the top? the anatomical split between fish and human still doesnt really add up. that would require our leg bones to completely disappear and for our spine to extend way past the pelvis down to the tail, and for all excretory organs and digestive system to also shift down into the tail (presumably) while the top half remains pretty much human. still seems completely ridiculous to me.

and people make shit up like this all the time, a phenomenon known as the "hoax". people love fucking with other people, plain and simple. the mermaid sightings throughout history have been accredited to everything from hallucinations due to malnutrition at sea to just over exaggerated and loosely spread legends and sea tales. i donno, i am way too big of a skeptic to try to rationalize something as fantastical as a half-fish half-human. loch ness monster is more plausible.

i feel stupid for even going as far as explaining all that lol
 
^ To the people arguing about the evolutionary part above, In the show they explained it pretty well. It happened over a shit ton of time and they said pretty much that we branched apart. (We're talking from like a couple steps above primates) That at one point in history it was pretty much one group of beings that split, part going toward the ocean, part staying inland. The part that stayed inland went through a ton of evolution and ended up as humans today. The other went to the sea, and they stood upright, had hand, and legs like we do now, similar lungs and slightly different bone structure than modern humans. Due to evolution over time(Millions of years) they slowly evolved to be able to last longer underwater with a bigger lunch capacity, their sinuses adapted to withstand depths we cant even imagine going withought gear, and they slowly got more and more webbed digits (which we kinda have today anyways compared to other primates). Then the legs went to a fin and the other stuff. They would remain pretty similar to us today, same structure for the most part, similar appearance, similar DNA, organs... They would be like a variation of modern humans. IF they exist
 
i have a hard time believing that if their hands, lungs and legs all changed to adapt to being aquatic their head and shoulders would all just stay the same.

however who's to say that these "mermaids" even look humanoid at all. basically there is no credible video evidence to suggest either way. mostly because there aren't mermaids as we think of them. I'm sure there are tons of flora and fauna in the oceans we have never seen before but there are not half humans half fish swimming around.
 
You should watch the show, it was actually pretty interesting, IF, theres actually anything. They showed a skull reconstruction and it had a shit ton of sinus chambers and stuff to manage pressure underwater that we couldn't. They eye sockets were bigger to hold bigger eyes so that they could let in more light in the deep ocean. They had a ridge down the middle of their head and like a hollowed spot on the forehead at the start of the ridge that would be used for a sonar type mechanism to catch rebounding sound waves (Which is the reason they started this. The navy was practicing sonar weaponry and technology and a bunch of whales washed up and a "mermaid" that was taken away, but they heard the mermaid sounds right after the sound blast)
 
The myth of mermaids dates as far back as Ancient Greece. There have been thousands of mermaid sightings over time spanning across the globe. The most logical explanation of the mermaid myth I've heard is this: When men go on long sailing voyages together for months on end with out any interaction with females, they go fucking crazy. They become so pent up with masculine feelings that even the sight of a 'feminine' looking sea creature would be enough for them to get off to. Imagine not seeing a women for months and then seeing this in the water:

Mermaids.

Tl;dr: Horny sailors see a 7/10 sea animal so they wack off = mermaids
 
Bitch please, I live right next to it and the closest I'm ever getting to see it is my neighbour(It's a lot more impressive in person, I know it looks lame haha, but it comes out onto the street)

If I was in a small sub like that, in the middle of the fucking ocean, that far down, with one other guy, some equipment, a radio and cameras and that happened, I would literally shit my pants
 
The face they were puttin on them last night too. That like grey, sunk in, death face. I would literally shit bricks in that sub if one popped up.

I was just thinking about worst case scenario last night. One of them pops up, hits the window and swims away like it did, you turn on like exterior floodlights and just like hundreds of them surrounding the sub and about to go in to take it down
