The charming little mermaid from Anderson's fairy tale is known all over the world. Beautiful, sad and bronze, she sits modestly on the pier in Copenhagen, as the sculptor Edward Eriksen saw her like that. In Disney cartoons, the little mermaid appears as a young, big-eyed beauty with outstanding forms.
A certain resident of the American St. Petersburg (Florida) probably also imagined mermaids as indescribable beauties, until on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean he came across a strange ugly body. Probably, the mysterious creature was thrown onto the sand by the tide. Most of all it resembled a giant, humanoid vobla.
The enterprising "Petersburger" immediately took several photographs of the mermaid and put it up on the eBay online auction. The buyer was found quickly and the remains of the "monster mermaid" for $ 1550 found a new owner.
Many skeptics are quite suspicious of this whole story, since the starting price for the body of an unprecedented monster was only $ 2. Meanwhile, the seller put up other lots for sale, including the body of a sea monster.
The mystery of the mermaid was revealed by the author of the blog on blogga.ru.

This is not the first and not the loudest story about the controversial finds of mysterious creatures known to our contemporaries. In 1995, London-based businessman Ray Santilli unveiled the content of his television documentary "Alien Autopsy - Fact or Fiction?" on the front pages of magazines in over twenty countries.
The film includes a 1947 documentary report on an alien autopsy made in the field by the US intelligence services. Pathologists butchering the corpse of an alien, which both outside and inside was not like humans: his fingers and toes are six, and brains without convolutions, and the contents of a rather distended abdomen without intestines, but with some completely unfamiliar bodies.

The tape has caused many opposing opinions. Santilli has always claimed that the film passed the examination, as a result of which it was established that it was indeed filmed in 1947. Actually this is not true.
Only fragments of the film used for the film were examined, but none of them contained scenes from a film shown on television or from a film recorded on videotape. Consequently, the question of the shooting time of the film is still open.
Most UFO researchers consider the film to be a fake and accuse Santilli of falsification, but to date there is no real evidence that Santilli is a falsifier. Moreover, some arguments can be made in favor of the film's authenticity.
The note accompanying the photograph explained that the captured alien has one leg with a disc at the end and moves in short leaps.
Since then, this picture has been wandering through the pages of publications devoted to "flying saucers" for more than thirty years. It was considered by many enthusiasts as irrefutable proof of the visit of the Earth by intelligent beings from other worlds. Whole legends were created about what happened next with the pilot of an extraterrestrial aircraft.
Only in 1981, Klaus Webner, a skeptic from Wiesbaden, decided to get to the bottom of the truth and found out that the sensation of 1950 was just an April Fool's joke.
