re: What horrors really lurk down at the deepest part of our oceans?

Many many people that have spent time on the ocean have similar stories. He are arrogant and ignorant and much of what we think we know is wrong. I have seen some weird shite too and I was rarely more than 100 miles out.

In the 80's We saw a great hammerhead swimming on the surface of Louisiana that was bigger than our helicopter 26 feet, The pilot circled it for a minute or so and lined up the shadow of the helicopter with the shark, and estimated the shark at 26-28 feet in length. Way bigger than their alleged maximum size,

Off Chandeleur islands in the 90s I also saw an almost perfectly square area of wind white caps and 2 feets seas about 500 yards across move across the water with a wind field about 20-30 mph on a day when it was smooth as glass on no wind clouds or anything. I still cant believe it and have no clue what it was or wasn't but half a dozen fishing boats were there and we all saw it. No one had a clue. It was like there was a giant invisible fan moving over the water, but the edges were too crisp for that too
