Blogpost # 2: The Real Mermaids...


When I was young, I see mermaids as beautiful goddesses who sing with a golden voice. What I knew is that they’re kind and cheerful. They were one of the favorite things painters and sculptures use to paint and carve. A lot of people wanted to be a mermaid because of its goddess aura – just like Ariel, the main character in the movie, “The Little Mermaid”. Disney describes her as a cute, beautiful, sweet, and humble little mermaid who found her love in the world of humans and did everything to be a part of her man’s world. But this year, finding out their real beauty surprised me. 

Ariel, The Little Mermaid
After watching the video from the animal.discovery.com entitled, “Mermaid Sighting in Kiryat Yam”, In this video, the US tourists were strolling around when suddenly they saw something on top of the big rock. They've decided to video cam the small creature, and were shocked when the creature looked at them and i jumped into the sea.


I was shocked.  It felt creepy while looking at the little monster. But I was happy to see that there really is a mermaid, even if it is an insufficient evidence about the mermaids’ existence. Look closely at the little mermaid. Creepy right? It looks like it’s still a baby. It might be because the camera is too far that I’m confused whether the mermaid has a face or not. But, there's another video of a mermaid with a different look. 


The video is a leaked evidence from the UK Coastguard. The video from animal.discovery.com that makes the mermaid not that attractive is the “UK Coastguard Mermaid Sighting”. In this video, the UK Coast Guard were having their man over board training when suddenly, a glowing creature jumped at the right side of the boat which causes them to stumble and lost their focus.


You can see that the mermaid here looks really scary. If you will look closely, the so called mermaid looks like an alien. Its eyes were big, round and glowing. Its head has no hair, but its head-tail is similar to an alien. And also, its head-tail is pointed. In fact, there is an article who said that the mermaid looks like an alien which is similar to my observation.

An article in agoracosmopolitan.com named “UFO: Mermaid-like appears in the Ocean” by Tanveer Masood and from The Cosmos News in youtube.com, which they also got from the Animal Planet, the video entitled “Mermaid Alien Discovered by Ocean Scientists in Greenland Sea”. Mr. Waring said in the article that “Animal planet recently aired an interview with several scientists from Greenland that had recorded actual evidence of a human-like creature that resembles a mermaid and they had found the remains of a similar creature.” The scientists went 3000 feet deep off the shore of Greenland Sea. While they were looking around, a huge crash startled them and suddenly a webbed hand slammed the windows of their submarine that scared them. Mr. Waring also said that he wonders if the creature is an alien species unknown to us or an alien which has been exploring our oceans. The mermaid here is a human-like creature. For me, It’s like a dead body of a human.





Based on what I have watched and read, mermaids are not beautiful. They look like an alien or a mummy. In the first video, you can see that the mermaid there is like the mermaid that we used to describe despite the fact that it is very small. The second video is about a short mermaid like what the scientists discovered years ago. The third video is what makes me get more excited about mermaids. Actually, I decided to watch the video at day time because I thought it was scary. But when I’m done watching it, I was shocked to see the real look of a mermaid closely. I think mermaids have different types and kinds just like the other species in our planet.

And based on an article in blogs.discovery.com named “Everyone's Asking: Do Mermaids Really Exist?...Well, Do they?” by Betty Chu, she said that, “I believe in possibilities and the power of imagination – that we haven’t found everything out there yet. In the past two decades alone, we just learned about two species of whales that we never knew existed. Scientists have spent countless hours exploring the scientific theory behind this special – it is undeniably compelling –and the ‘what ifs’ are just too irresistible to ignore.”

Yes, it’s true. Our planet is too big for us to discover everything. Particularly the ocean part. We definitely need more time to explore the world and discover new things. 

Thank you!
