Did a woman vacationing in Egypt find proof that we aren’t alone in the universe?
News.com.au reports 39-year-old Andrea Judd stumbled across a desiccated corpse on a beach in Egypt. To her it looked like “an orc from Lord of the Rings.” Thankfully, she knew what happens in horror movies when people’s curiosity gets the better of them and added, “I didn’t touch it. Just looking at it made me feel uneasy.”
The head, she says, was bigger than her fist. “It looked really dead – the skin was dry and dark grey and patchy. It has a distinctive head, with an open mouth showing sharp teeth,” she says. “There was an opening further back on the head where one would suspect the ears, but it might have been the gills.”
A closer look revealed the corpse had a second set of jaws inside its mouth, leading some to believe the creature is actually a moray eel. Others are convinced it’s either an alien, a baby Loch Ness monster, a mermaid or a Demogorgon from Stranger Things.
Moray eels are found in both the Red and Mediterranean seas. So while the theory she found a dead moray tracks, there’s one other odd thing throwing everyone off.
The creature was found well beyond where the waves could reach even during the highest tide. “It was too far inward to have been pushed there by waves, as far as I know,” she notes of where she found the scorched corpse. “The locals were fishing nearby and it might have been caught by them, but it was not near the other traces of fishing like sea shells. It was just alone.”
