Mysterious 150 feet Squid-Monster Attacked USS in 1978
In 1978, a large sea creature, supposedly an unknown species of squid, about 150 feet (45 meters) long, attacked the USS Stein and with its claws caused damage to the skin of a sonar attached to the bottom of the vessel.
The story sounds like fiction, but it was officially confirmed and the incident was later included in the “Sea Creatures and Equipment Damage Problem” report.
Unfortunately, the story that got into the media contained few details, but there is a video that shows a piece of damaged rubber coating, literally littered with small holes.
It has also been reported that sharp claws, similar to the claws from suction cups on squid tentacles, were found embedded in the rubber. And these claws were as large as have ever been found on any squid found by science.
It has been estimated that a squid with such claws could reach a length of about 150 feet (45 meters), although this is a very unreliable estimate and official reports do not suggest the size of the attacking creature.
Damage to the NOFOUL rubber coating of sonar equipment was studied by expert F. G. Wood of the Naval Ocean Systems Center (Naval Electronics Laboratory), Point Lima, San Diego.
NOFOUL is a rubber-like coating used to cover sonar domes to reduce the growth of polluting organisms.
“Approximately 8% of the area of the dome was damaged, resulting in increased sonar noise. Nearly all of the cuts contained remnants of what appeared to be teeth or claws. After examining these ‘claws’, scientists have now concluded that the most the likely culprit is a large squid species. A number of squid species have rim claws,” the NOSC report said.
“In some species of squid, the suckers have been replaced by sharp, curved claws. But none of these claws exceed a fraction of the size of fragments recovered from NOFOUL.
“If the squid was indeed responsible for the damage (and there seems to be no other plausible explanation for this), then it must was to be extremely large and belong to a species hitherto unknown to science.”
It is still not known for sure whether it was really some kind of giant squid unknown to science or another mysterious sea creature, since no additional information has been leaked since then. Maybe the information was classified.
It is also still unknown where the USS Stein was in the ocean when it received such damage, whether this large creature was displayed on the military radar, whether the sailors heard the sounds when it attacked the ship, and so on.
By the way, science has already recognized the existence of giant squid, but officially the largest giant squid reaches about 8 meters. There are also reports of 20-meter squids, but they are considered unproven rumors.

Experts Declare Experimental Cancer Vaccine Based On mRNA Technology Is ‘Safe and Effective’
A new cancer vaccine based on Covid mRNA vaccine technology
which has yet to be clinically tested has already been declared “safe
and effective” by the British government.
Known as ‘LungVax’,
the new vaccine is being developed by the University of Oxford, the
Francis Crick Institute and University College London, and is expected
to be the first of a huge range of new cancer vaccinations available in
the near future.
Research scientists developing the ‘groundbreaking’ lung cancer
vaccine claim it will be effective in preventing up to 90 per cent of
cases by training the immune system to locate and attack early signs of
disease.
Lung cancer cells look different from normal cells due to having ‘red
flag’ proteins called neoantigens. The LungVax vaccine will carry a strand of DNA which trains the immune system to recognize these neoantigens on abnormal lung cells.
It will then instruct the immune system to destroy these cells and stop lung cancer.
Professor Tim Elliot, lead researcher at the University of Oxford, said: ‘Cancer
is a disease of our own bodies and it’s hard for the immune system to
distinguish between what’s normal and what’s cancer.
‘Getting the immune system to recognize and attack cancer is one of the biggest challenges in cancer research today.”
Elliot admitted the new vaccine is based on technology used to create the Covid vaccine.
‘This research could deliver an off-the-shelf vaccine based on
Oxford’s vaccine technology, which proved itself in the Covid pandemic.
Remarkably, given the disastrous health consequences for those
vaccinated with the experimental Covid vaccines, Eilliot praised the
mRNA roll out as a success.
‘If we can replicate the kind of success seen in trials during
the pandemic, we could save the lives of tens of thousands of people
every year in the UK alone.’
Researchers have been granted up to £1.7 million from Cancer Research UK and the CRIS Cancer Foundation.
The team will receive funding for the study over the next 2 years to
support lab research and initial manufacturing of 3,000 doses of the
vaccine at the Oxford Clinical BioManufacturing Facility.
If successful, the vaccine will move straight into a clinical trials,
involving those at biggest risk of disease, such as current and former
smokers who currently qualify for targeted lung health checks in some
parts of the UK.
Elon Musk’s X must be “shut down” by government because dangerous “conspiracy theories” are spreading on the social media platform, according to British TV host Jeremy Vine.
“If there any argument to say, and this will sound crazy, but
China does it, we’ve got to now take control of Twitter and shut it down
for the time being,” said Vine.
Vine made the comments earlier this week during a heated debate
regarding speculation surrounding the health and whereabouts of Kate
Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
Boomers have become obsessed with speculating that Middleton has died or is severely unwell and that the Royal Family is hiding it because she hasn’t been seen in months after an operation.
The manipulation of a series of photo of Middleton and her children also only served to fuel the rumors, as some sources close to the princess claimed she had been murdered by the royal family.
However, instead of dismissing the whole issue for what it is, a pointless distraction that will disappear once Middleton makes a public appearance around Easter, Vine called for draconian measures.
Modernity report:
Ah yes, the Communist dictatorship of China, which shuts down the Internet to clamp down on dissent and enhance its repression of undesirables.
That’s definitely who we should be mimicking, Jeremy.
Throughout the COVID pandemic, Vine’s show was a platform for some of the most vulgar, authoritarian drivel imaginable.
One show asked if children who are unvaccinated should be banned from schools or made to wear special badges.
Another asked, “Is it time to ban the unvaccinated from traveling?”
Vine has made a name for himself as being a dutiful amplifier of regime messaging, while his annoying side hobby of biking around London looking to film confrontations with motorists has also angered many.
