Are Mermaids Real? Never Before Seen Video of Body Found on Beach

A video released to Animal Planet (that appears below) for the Sunday night special of Mermaids: The Body Found may have proof that mermaids are real.

Could mermaids actually exist?

A documentary on Animal Planet that aired on Sunday Night called "Mermaids: The Body Found" posed questions like, what would mermaids look like (let's just say, these CGI mermaids weren't wearing bikini tops made out of sea shells) and how would they reproduce? The theories traveled back farther than seven billion years ago.

The film contained never previously aired footage of what was purported to be a mermaid washed up on a beach in Washington State. Not only was the creature alive, it was far removed from the hair-combing fairytale mermaids of yore, and it seemed pretty pissed.

The documentary explained how the mermaids began showing up on shore, when it was always believed they didn't want to be seen in the first place. The United States Navy was practicing under water sonar, and began killing whales with the sounds as blunt force trauma, and as the whales washed up on shore dead, so did other creatures, creatures that scientists in hazmat outfits kept the public from seeing. 

There are some facts that are substantial. There is an unidentified sound that has been captured at least twice by researchers. It emanates from the depths of the ocean and appears to be organic in nature. No scientist has been able to identify what creature made the sound, but it definitely appears to be a highly-advanced communication system of some sort. Similar to a dolphin, but still distinct. It’s nicknamed “The Bloop,” and it has confounded many theorists for years. 

Also, humans have subcutaneous fat that helps warm our bodies (similar to dolphins and whales). We can hold our breath for a long period of time. We don’t have hair over our body like our ancestors or ape cousins and we have partial webbing between our fingers and toes (perhaps to help us swim?). We have an instinctual ability to survive in water. 

When the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA, pronounced "Noah") team captured a DNA sample of a creature and sent it to labs in the United States and South Africa. Eventually, South Africa responded, but the DNA was so close to human DNA, the lab claimed that the sample had been contaminated with human DNA and was thrown out. 

I don't know about you, but consider me a believer, and bet your bottom dollar I will think twice before jumping into deep water.

Are you kidding?!? This was a fake documentary.. It's a work of fiction.. I guess the ridiculous subject matter didnt make that obvious enough.Look at the animal planet website.

"A team of scientists testifies that they found the remains of a sea creature with ties to human origins - a modern day mermaid. They claim a massive government cover-up is currenly hiding the creature's existence from the general public."That's what it said on the website....

Love the moron who says. They are not real. Do you have proof otherwise. While your exploring the vast ocean I would love to hear you guys disprove the theory of evolution why is it to completely plausable.

Put down the crack pipe? Why don't you pick up a book. Why it's it so hard to believe that there's shit out there we don't know about? Just because YOU haven't seem it doesn't make it fake. No ones saying that they look like buff men & girls in a bikini top. Evolution & time has the power to change anything. Look how humans evolved, we didn't start out this way. & it's more than likely we'll never actually be able to see them because why? the government. They don't think people can handle the truth about anything. for example, area 51. Obviously something going on there but are they ever gonna tell us? No. they're just gonna have us keep finding their research programs for it. The world is a mysterious place, Steve. Especially the sea, new things get discovered all the time. & it's been that way since the beginning of time.

Keeping an open mind is one thing. But trying to believe in something that goes against the solid science and intelligence of the times. Makes you foolish having only one desire and that is to stay childish. Believe in the tooth fairy all you want. No one is stopping you from that. But if you are going to convince me that 2+2=7 and your only excuse is that we have not yet discovered how to, so it is possible that it is 7. That is just ignorant.

Amber, we need more critical thinking like you have shown. Government cover ups are rife with accounts like this one and Area 51 and moon bases already there when Neil landed. It's the government that is covering up many Truths to keep the people "in line" and "in step" with what they want us to perceive as reality. Jenika

Believing in evolution makes as much sense as believing if you blew up a junk yard it would somehow transform itself into a high tech military aircraft. ie the big bang theory. Chaos does not create order. Order comes from order. Our world was carefully and thoughtfully and lovingly designed for us, by The Almighty Jesus Christ, Creator of heaven and earth.

Wow, you have us there. Because some book thrown together by word of mouth stories and rotten parchment found in random caves. Things written by people that thought diseases were caused by evil spirits. I certainly hope you are not in a position of educating anyone because your archaic way of thinking is holding humanity back. You are an embarrassment to humanity. I guess your Almighty made the computer you are using as well as the internet. Not really. If not for evolution we don't have a basis for biology or chemistry, without which we do not have a basis for anything technology brings us. In fact with your attitude and ignorance I think you belong in a cave living with the Muslims, THAT is what your Almighty has brought to your table. Nothing more.

hold on... evolution is not the basis for chemistry and biology... and beyond that, evolution is still a theory which makes it no better than how you view the bible. only 1 out of 6 levels of evolution has been observed (microscopic changes in plants/single cell organisms) thereby making the rest of it UNPROVEN and NONFACTUAL. christianity and islam alike are about living a good life through respect of others and basically not doing bad things. no one has ever claimed that god clapped his hands and made a laptop. and within the past 50 years, i can't recall a time when a priest stopped doctors or scientists from advancing technology. the fact of the matter is your science is just as fake as the religions you hate because past events of human evolution can not be observed and neither can the big bang. now plot your next move, troll.

Really, religion has not held back scientific breakthroughs. I'm sure alot of people enjoy Not having religious morons, and governments telling them that stem cells are ok to harvest. Religion has done nothing but bar the truth from the publics eye. Knowledge is represented as evil in genesis. The church has made it a goal to ban the public from our own past and truths. One row of books in the Vatican archives being released could shatter our entire societies outlook.

What we are "programmed" to believe is that God, not Jesus Christ is the creator of all. Evalution has been proven WAAAAY much more then a bunch of stories that controdict themselves over and over. And these stories are written by men who claim to have been told these things by a spirit, by something that has yet to show any physical or logical proof for that matter. It amazes me the ignnorance that some people have in this millinium, I think we are going to destroy ourselves with stupidity if anything.

justrobb1369

right.. because the world didn't exist before jesus..why do we use the designation B.C?? that means BEFORE christ.. get your dogma right before you spew it out!!  your "god" supposedly created the erarth, not jesus!!!

Steve:Don't be afraid. I know that it is so much easier for some to believe everything our government tells us. I recognize that  belief in the paranormal can sometimes be frightening, but there is no need for you to put others down for their beliefs. Not sure why you even read this Article or decided to comment. Seems to me that you would be better served with "Keeping Up With The Kardashians".

I was in Ilwaco Washington with some friends in about 2003 and we found a secluded cave after driving on the beach for a while.  In the back of this deep cave, (30 ft. or more), there was a strange creature in the back that had a humanoid face.  It was pale skinned, gray or white in complexion and remained perfectly still and silent as we yelled, trying to get it to stir.  Honestly it looked scared.

@Joel Thats interesting as i dont fully believe that mermaids exist but in saying that anything is possible these days deformity is something some people havent seen quite often in their lives but it it does exist in this world & time ,some people are believers and some just arent ,when i watched that doco i was interested as! Ive never been so hooked on a program in my life! I sat there & watched it right through the ads even Lols fake or not it had me intrigued.

Hey buddy last time I check jesus was a real person retard. I will brake this down slow for you he walked on earth, I think what you meant to say was what people say he was and did was not real. Which you have no evidence against so please tell me anytime the evidence you have gathered verified disproved and tested to disprove a religion that has existed for thousands of years then come back and tell me he do what people said he did. Same goes for the mermaid thing they could exist so take the fork out of your butt and keep and open mind.

CRACK PIPE...!!! Why dont you take off your blind fold. if you have so much money, and want to be proven wrong, why dont you prove yourself wrong and then slap yourself in the face for being so anal who's to say we are the only creatures in this world the proof was and is in your face your just to dumb and brain washed by the government that your incompitent brain wont let you register what has already been proven how will you know for sure if your government hides everything from us like children

No you didn't, you did didn't you, how very rude behavior coming from an obvious Meth head!!! Why don't you put down YOUR pipe and get yourself to the nearest rehab lame brain. You sound like one of those stupid white men Michael Moore devotes his book to in his book entitled Stupid White Men. Where do you get off anyway? If I had you on a boat in the middle of the ocean or better said in the deepest waters of the Berring Straits, no wait, the Mariannas Trench I'd make you walk the plank without a blind fold just so you could personally see the truth for yourself.  Maybe then you'd realize how the drugs have messed up your already touched brain. I bet your a closet homo to right. Just as I suspected. Now then, why dont you do as that nice tollerant person suggested and take their advice, pick up a book instead of the pipe and do yourself a little reading or better still take a marine biology class or I could take you fishing just so I could offer you the best education you could ever get numbskull, lamebrain meth head derilict. hell, I'd even offer you a smoke, before offering you the special treatment. I bet you don't even know what the special treatment is either, right, peabrain. Get off the pipe lose it take a walk clear your head and then hope you still have a few brain cells left to remedy your malady. Just a little advice from a concerned person who can detect a few screws loose in your confused mind set. Hell, I wouldn't doubt it if you worked for one of those government agencies that goes about their day ruining perfectly good ones or raining on parades just like the rest of em. Forget science factual truisiums and the obvious, keep playing gods little gift to the world will you now, hell, why don't you seriously consider entering the Vatican then you could go on to promote public executions and take on witch hunts of all kinds as well as attend a few exorcisims just for good measure while your at it. I just bet your a tried and true Bush crime family fan to right secretly or blatently advocating his re election for a third reich sort of America I got your number and its just about up, mothe rland, father land , home land holyland  holy toledo batman  weve got ourselves into a war central america(s) too.  Why don't you do us all a favor and sign up for the rehab nearest you. Best Regards, Angela in San Diego

And one more thing stupid.  Why don't you take some time and look into how our government works and a little bit about human nature while your at it.  I admit being skeptical at first but then I realized something even more important and it just might dredge up enough adrenaline to create enough neuro transmitters to emit the neccasary serotonin to bring you out of your self induced coma.  Like William Cooper who was also shot down in front of his Arizona home not to long ago by some very devoted evangelists or special treatment nazis special forces groupies that never ask any questions just blindly obey orders given by idiots for the most part.  given orders by genius presidents just like tiddly wink can I please take a nap now bush Junior who cant even conduct his own life let alone our countries problems,  no problem take your little nap son daddie and his cronies are here to maintain complete obedience and ignorance blooming in america.  and yes son the ether bunny wabbit is wheel wheel too just like santa claws and everyone else in never never land.  and dont you worry yerself about yer twins the grand kids are out with their secret service prortectorates locating their false ids so they can continue to put jim beam beneath the family tree while grampas busy doin the family dirty work lining our silk stockings on the mantal.  sorry I sort of got carried away and yes I am fully aware that obama is our current token black president.  any more questions?  and no you dont deserve capital letters!Okay, why dont you do us all a favor and look into the STRANGE SOUNDS AROUND THE PLANET SYNDROME BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND INSERT YOUR FOOT AGAIN.  THEN MAYBE I WOULDNT HAVE TO OFFER YOU UP THESE TYPES OF HINTS.  IF YOU NEED ANOTHER HINT JUST SAY SO AND I WILL GIVE YOU ONE TO SINK YOUR TEETH INTO BUT FIRST THINGS FIRST. DO THE MATH.  CHECK YOU LATER, AND PLEASE WILL YOU PUT THAT PIPE DOWN!  your making meth heads look bad!

I can postulate that 2+2=7  No wonder my check book never adds up. You silly people... Just as 2+2=4,  there are assumptions that just don't add up.  We don't live in the 7th century. Ruled by, ghosts and alchemy. We have so much information, and good logical reason.  Otherwise lets still focus on the world being flat. I guess if you never sailed away from land or talked to someone that has. You ignorance or lack of information would guide you. Thankfully many of us do not think that way because of what we have DISCOVERED about the world. You people need to pick up a book, I get the impression many have not since the 60's We have plenty of DISCOVERIES and PLENTY of data that adds up. Directing us away from mythology. And, if you want to argue that you can't prove there are no mermaids. I suggest you go back to high school. THE FACTS ARE there and there is plenty of data  and facts that point away from such fantasy. If you would only do a little homework. Just like the data you use to conclude that 2+2=4. If you stay focused, look at what we know about evolution. Instead of wishful thinking you will come to an intelligent conclusion. Unless you just don't care and want to believe in unicorns.

ChazMazziest your comment seems logical but recent and not so recent facts have showed somewhere apes started to evolve in the water watch animal plants mermaid body found and keep an open mind while watching it. Then tell me they aren't real.

derpguy

yeah dude! you also can't prove that there aren't tiny invisible monkey-frogs that live in between the molecules of oxygen either; animal planet's new documentary airing in a few months. I CAN'T PROVE IT ISN'T REAL SO THEN I MUST ENTERTAIN THE POSSIBILITY!
