On This Day in Weird, July 5...
1949: British witness Harold Wilkins and a companion report seeing "two
remarkable saurians, fifteen to twenty feet long, with bottle-green colubrine
heads, one behind the other, their middle parts under the water of the tidal
creek of East Looe, Cornwall, apparently chasing a shoal of fish up the creek.
What was amazing were their dorsal parts: ridged, serrated, and like the old
Chinese pictures of dragons … These monsters—and two of us saw them—resembled
the pleisiosaurus of Mesozoic times."
