Lake Baikal Swimmers

**Theories** |  · Extraterrestrial

The **Lake Baikal Swimmers** sighting was an extraterrestrial sighting in Lake Baikal is located in Siberia near the border with Mongolia and its greatest depth is 1642 meters. Many rare species of plants and animals live in it, and according to many witness statements, some unknown species are also said to exist. According to witnesses, the lake is inhabited by a huge sturgeon-like creature, which some say is the result of the water being polluted by waste.

Others believe that it is rather an unknown mammal with aggressive behavior. The descriptions simply revolve around a fish-like creature with prominent fins that could theoretically have entered the lake via one of the 366 rivers and streams that feed the lake.

Many fishermen who fish on the lake have already come up with stories about a huge creature that suddenly emerged from the depths, or about a huge dark silhouette that moves in the depths of the lake. However, there is still no direct evidence to confirm the existence of unknown creatures in the lake. However, the most bizarre case allegedly happened in 1982, when divers of the military navy went to the lake for diving training. 50 meters below the surface, however, they came into contact with special machines that moved underwater at a much faster speed than the Russian army had at the time.

## Appearance

But what was even more strange, the divers also came across humanoid beings in silver overalls, which they then tried to catch. However, three of the seven divers were killed by the creatures and the other four escaped with serious injuries. The Russian government, of course, denied the story, saying there must be some natural explanation for the incident.

* 1982, when divers of the military navy went to the lake for diving training. 50 meters below the surface, however, they came into contact with special machines that moved underwater at a much faster speed than the Russian army had at the time.

* UFOs under the surface could be supported by recent NASA photos that appeared in 2009. Astronauts from the space station photographed two strange circular cracks on a frozen lake, which appeared to be caused by something emerging from under the ice. One crack appeared at the southern end, with the other in about the middle of the lake. Both of these circles were over 4 kilometers in diameter and created massive cracks in the ice. So some argue that these are alien machines, perhaps even those seen by divers in 1982. However, experts lean towards natural phenomena such as underwater gases. In addition to these mysteries, Baikal is also known for its frequent unexplained disappearances of ships and crews, which always occur in specific places. This was also the case with the boat Yamaha, which disappeared in 2011 on a calm surface after being surrounded by thick fog. Locals claim that the water eddies that suddenly appear on the lake are mainly to blame for the disappearance of the boats.
