The Russian navy has declassified its records of encounters with unidentified objects technologically surpassing anything humanity ever built, reports Svobodnaya Pressa news website.

The records dating back to soviet times were compiled by a special navy group collecting reports of unexplained incidents delivered by submarines and military ships. The group was headed by deputy Navy commander Admiral Nikolay Smirnov, and the documents reveal numerous cases of possible UFO encounters, the website says.

Vladimir Azhazha, former navy officer and a famous Russian UFO researcher, says the materials are of great value.

“Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water,” he said.
On one occasion a nuclear submarine, which was on a combat mission in the Pacific Ocean, detected six unknown objects. After the crew failed to leave behind their pursuers by maneuvering, the captain ordered to surface. The objects followed suit, took to the air, and flew away.

Many mysterious events happened in the region of Bermuda Triangle, recalls retired submarine commander Rear Admiral Yury Beketov. Instruments malfunctioned with no apparent reason or detected strong interference. The former navy officer says this could be deliberate disruption by UFOs.

 
Vladimir Kremlev for RT.
“On several occasions the instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed. Calculations showed speeds of about 230 knots, of 400 kph. Speeding so fast is a challenge even on the surface. But water resistance is much higher. It was like the objects defied the laws of physics. There’s only one explanation: the creatures who built them far surpass us in development,” Beketov said.
Navy intelligence veteran, Captain 1st rank Igor Barklay comments:
 
“Ocean UFOs often show up wherever our or NATO’s fleets concentrate. Near Bahamas, Bermudas, Puerto Rico. They are most often seen in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern part of the Bermuda Triangle, and also in the Caribbean Sea.”
Another place where people often report UFO encounters is Russia’s Lake Baikal, the deepest fresh water body in the world. Fishermen tell of powerful lights coming from the deep and objects flying up from the water.

In one case in 1982 a group of military divers training at Baikal spotted a group of humanoid creatures dressed in silvery suits. The encounter happened at a depth of 50 meters, and the divers tried to catch the strangers. Three of the seven men died, while four others were severely injured.

“I think about underwater bases and say: why not? Nothing should be discarded,” says Vladimir Azhazha. “Skepticism is the easiest way: believe nothing, do nothing. People rarely visit great depths. So it’s very important to analyze what they encounter there.”

The former chief commander of the Soviet Navy has revealed information on UFOs that until recently had been secret. The Soviet Navy had so many encounters with mysterious objects raising from or diving into the ocean that a special analytic group was set to make weekly reports to the naval commander-in-chief. The Russian website Free Press (svpressa.ru) interviewed that officer on July 16.

Vladimir N. Chernavin, 81, was the chief commander of the Soviet Navy and deputy minister of defense of the USSR from 1985 to 1992. He is the recipient of several high Soviet and Russian state honors. The material he presented is peppered with the names of other distinguished Soviet naval officers. Some of those officers have spoken before about their knowledge of UFOs, but others are being publicly associated with the phenomenon for the first time.

Among the information Chernavin revealed are these statistics provided by former naval captain of the first rank Vladimir Azhazha: “Fifty percent of meetings with UFOs are connected with the ocean, and 15 percent with lakes.” Forty-four percent of cases have been recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, 16 percent in the Pacific, 10 percent in the Mediterranean Sea.

Azhazha also recounted an incident in the Pacific Ocean, when a Russian submarine was pursued by six unidentified objects, which emerged from the water and took flight after the submarine surfaced to evade them.

Azhazha is the author of dozens of books and articles on UFOs. He was the captain of the experimental submarine Severyanka in the 1960s and has recounted his experiences with unidentified objects under water before.

Former rear admiral and nuclear submarine commander Yury Beketov is quoted describing events that occurred in the Bermuda Triangle. “We repeatedly observed that the instruments detected the movements of material objects at unimaginable speed, around 230 knots (400 km. per hour [250 m.p.h.]). It’s hard to reach that speed on the surface – only in the air [is it readily possible]… The beings that created those material objects significantly exceed us in development.”

Naval intelligence expert and captain for the first rank Igor Barklay noted that the unidentified objects were most often spotted in deep water near where military forces are concentrated – off the Bahamas, Bermuda, Puerto Rico and the east coast of the United States.

Unexplained activity in Lake Baikal is also recorded. In 1982, divers on a training exercise encountered swimmers in silver outfits with no visible breathing apparatus. They were at a depth of 50 meters (164 feet). Three people died trying to pursue the mysterious swimmers.

The link between UFOs and the ocean has been noted before, Capt. Vladimir Prikhodko commented on the information. He noted that American naval forces have also had experiences with rapidly-moving objects underwater and above it in the Caribbean Sea and elsewhere.

The Russian Navy website does not mention it.

The article refers to some admiral Nikolay Smirnov: and actually there would be an admiral Nikolai Ivanovich Smirnov;

Since the battle of Damansky Island in March 1968, changes in the USSR's Eastern commands have been made known on a larger scale than for many years past. The process began in May, with the replacement of the Commander of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral N.N. Amelko, by Vice-Admiral Nikolai Ivanovich Smirnov. This was certainly not a case of normal retirement, because Amelko is not due to retire until 1974. But he had commanded the Pacific Fleet since 1962, and presumably Moscow felt that a younger and more energetic Commander was needed in the wake of the border clashes.

he died on 1992.

Anyways I managed to find the original ariticle mentioned in Svobodnaja Pressa

Just in case I will post the entire article again with the transaltion it's bit longer than the article posted above. Sorry but I used google translate and did not have the time to translate it with myself, but if you have any questions about the story, feel free to ask and I try to clarify things for you guys. Anyway here's the story in full

The answer to the UFO must be sought on the ocean floor

The Navy has declassified information about the meetings submarines with an unknown object in the deep sea and the mysterious underwater bases

Former Chief of Navy Fleet Admiral Vladimir Chernavin told the correspondent of «joint venture» that in the Soviet Navy accumulated such a large number of observations of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), pop-up from under water and sinking to the depths, that was a special group collection and analysis of such facts. It is once a week produced a report on this subject by the Navy chief. Led by its Vice-Chief Fleet, Admiral Nikolai Smirnov. Recently, to declassify the material. 

Characterizing the naval ufologicheskie attention, the former Deputy Chief of Undersea Research Oceanographic Commission of the USSR Academy of Sciences Captain First Rank Vladimir Azhazha made a deal:

50 percent of meetings with UFOs linked to the ocean. 15 per cent from the lakes. So the UFO apparently tend to the water element. Therefore naval collection of data on UFOs is of particular value.
There are statistics on water UFOs: first place for the meetings with military seamen is the Atlantic - 44 per cent of observations in the Pacific - 16 per cent, 10 per cent - in the Mediterranean Sea, all the rest account for 30 per cent.

There is evidence that one of the Pacific Fleet submarine, while on combat patrol, by means of sonar found next to a six unknown objects that are beyond classification. Maneuvering away from the uninvited escort failed. The commander of the submarine was forced to give the command to the ascent, grossly violating the rules of conducting oneself on combat patrol.  When surfacing the boat carried all six of the UFO crash out of the water and disappeared.

A former nuclear submarine commander Rear-Admiral Yuri Beketov repeatedly engaged in combat service in the Bermuda Triangle and has been reported to Admiral Smirnov of unusual phenomena. Today, he says:

Came out(UFO) close to the United States and moved to Bermuda. Unfolded. Went the opposite tack.  Faced with many unusual phenomena: the device will give unmotivated failure, there is a powerful noise. Some unexplained phenomena, apparently created artificially. We have repeatedly observed that the devices record the movement of material objects with unimaginable speed. We measured some of the speed - it is about 230 knots (400 km per hour). A speed and on the surface it is difficult to create, only in the air. But in a giant water resistance. If these objects do not have laws of physics. Conclusion one: the creatures, to create material objects, greatly surpass us in development. You can even suggest that in the depths of the ocean along with us, there is another ancient civilization. Or is it the aliens of other worlds, hidden from human eyes in deep water.
Incidentally, in the Bermuda Triangle is the most profound depression Atlantic - Puertorriqueño. Her depth of 8742 meters. Perhaps there are hidden UFO base, or rather, non-governmental organizations - unidentified underwater objects. 

Veteran Intelligence Navy Captain First Rank Igor Barclay says:

Ocean UFOs often appear in areas of concentration of our forces or the NATO fleet. This is the Bahamas and Bermuda, Puero Rico, the surface area of the eastern coast of the United States. It was there, according to some experts, there are underwater UFO base. Especially UFOs seen in the deep area of the Atlantic - in the south of the Bermuda Triangle and the Caribbean. And act they did not like visitors.
Very impressive data on the observation of a UFO in the lake.  At kilometer depths of the lake sailors repeatedly observed luminescence resembling light searchlights and flashes like a flash of electric welding, as well as the radius from the water in the form of unexplained bright luminous silver discs and cylinders.

Summer of 1982 divers military service during the diving of training dives into the water of Lake Baikal several times almost clashed with divers in their tight silver body suits, all similar to humans, only about three-meter growth. In addition, at a depth of 50 meters, they had no diving, or any other apparatus, but their heads concealed spherical helmets. Trying to catch the unidentified divers ended tragically. Of the group of divers in seven people who were trying to do this using the grid, four were disabled and three died.

According to the military sailors, there are different kinds of UFOs: saucer and cigar barrels.

There is evidence from the Pacific Fleet sailors - continues Vladimir Azhazha - how in the remote waters of the Pacific, they observed "hanging" in the sky cylinders, of which flew smaller blyudtseobraznye UFO, immersed in water, and then back again to the primary cylinder, and it flew off somewhere. According to our earthly concepts, this cylinder can be identified with the uterus.  About the submarine bases can say one thing: why not?  Nothing is impossible to discard. It is easiest to take a position skeptic: in what do not believe and do nothing. People rarely sink to great depths. It is therefore very important to analyze something with which they meet there..
Comment Chairwoman research organization "Underwater search for" Captain Vladimir Prikhodko:
Data of our sailors are confirmed by numerous foreign evidence. For example, in U.S. military press was about unexplained contact off the coast of Puerto Rico. USN carried out here teaching, whose goal was the discovery of erupting submarine "enemy". The exercise involved an aircraft carrier, five escort ships, submarines and aircraft. All of the submarines involved in teaching, maneuvered in the "silent stroke".

"All of a sudden there was something exceptional, - said Professor Sanderson, who made a report based on analysis of documents .- U.S. Navy sonar technician, one of the escort ships passed on to the bridge that one of the submarine broke the system and, obviously, was to pursue some unknown purpose. "

Report acoustic set of officers to a standstill. The fact that this unidentified object, according to the readings, went under water at a speed of 150 knots! This can not be, because modern submarine submerged can not reach a speed above 45 knots. Watch officer immediately reported this to the captain, who in turn immediately contacted a staff vehicle. Imagine his surprise when he learned that, literally interrupting each other, all the other ships to report to the aircraft carrier the same thing. "At least - writes Professor Sanderson - in the 13's logs submarines and aircraft logbook entries have appeared on that their gidroakkustiki spotted "ultrabystrohodny a submarine." relevant reports about all of this were immediately sent to the commander of Atlantic Fleet Navy.

Four days of object maneuvered within a wider area and four days of ships and aircraft the U.S. Navy took its signals, watching him. (Or, conversely, he watched them?) Ho and it's not all. According to the reports gidroakkustikov, the object plunged to a depth of 20.000 feet in minutes. In other words, he was maneuvering in the vertical and horizontal planes as it can not do none of the modern submarine vessel built by man. Do not mention the fact that the limit of diving for a modern submarine is less than 6000 feet. Even bathyscaphe Trieste, built specifically for ultra-deep dive, where the famous oceanographer Jacques Piccard in 1960 made a record dive in the Mariana Trench at a depth of 35.800 feet, not to be destroyed, at a cost of 4.5 hours of immersion.  And this unknown object maneuvered almost from the surface to a depth of 20.000 feet in minutes! "In other words - writes Sanderson - A mysterious object must literally belong to another world."

Witnessed another unusual case was a famous Arctic explorer Dr. Rubens Dzh.Villela, as well as pilot and officer of the watch ice-breaker, who took part in naval maneuvers, codenamed "Deep Freeze" in the North Atlantic. It was evening. Dr. Villela was on deck when I suddenly saw "something came out of the water, breaking a three-meter thickness of the ice, and a huge silver bullet disappeared into the sky." Huge blocks of ice, lifted into the air for a few tens of meters, with the roar of cannon hit back at the hummocks, and the water formed a huge hole raged.  From her rising clouds of steam that seems to point to a huge energy potential just happened process.

In the 70 years the U.S. Navy carried out tests long-range underwater communications equipment. In the Atlantic, the ship that received radiation signals from the coast. And suddenly they began to receive signals, similar to the messengers, but modified. The analysis revealed: it is not an echo, not a repetition of the primary signal. Locate the source signal. He was at a depth of 8 kilometers. According to American scientists, it looked as if someone took the signal, modify it, and then passed on the same frequency as if to attract attention.

In years to decipher the signal failed. Recently, an attempt was repeated with the help of powerful computers Pentagon. The results are not reported. But the Americans then markedly intensified work on the study of DNA in the area from whence the "reflected" signals.

In the early 90-ies during the test floor in the Bermuda Triangle its center at a depth of 600 meters were discovered two giant pyramids, exceeding the size of the Egyptian.  About this back in 1991 told a press conference the head of the expedition oceanographer Dr. Kvedvar Mendlik. In his view, the pyramids were built only 50 years ago. Technology is not clear. Material like a very thick glass.

In 1997, the valley Belingsgauzena in priantarkticheskoy zone examined an Australian Navy. At a depth of 6 kilometers camera captured bathyscaphe Oval, emitting an intense inner light. Film scholars examined the Royal Institute of Oceanology. The conclusion was clear: these buildings can only be of artificial origin.

These facts are led to a conclusion that the deep ocean as unexplored and mysterious as the cosmos. Only mankind has somehow with great interest rushes up rather than down. Maybe it's a big mistake.

To get the answer about the UFO phenomena you have to look at the bottom of the ocean.

The Navy declassified information about submarines meeting unknown objects in the depths of the sea and the mysterious underwater bases. 

Former Chief of Navy Fleet Admiral Vladimir Chernavin told the correspondent of «Sv pressa» that the Soviet Navy accumulated such a large number of observations of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), poping up from under water and sinking to the depths, that there was created a special unit who analysed these facts. Once a week they produced a report on this subject to the Navy chief. Te unit was led by Vice-Chief Fleet, Admiral Nikolai Smirnov. Recently all the material was declassified. 

The former Deputy Chief of Undersea Research Oceanographic Commission of the USSR Academy of Sciences Captain First Rank Vladimir Azhazha characterized the naval ufo fenomena:

50 percent of meetings with UFO's are linked to the ocean. 15 per cent - to the lakes. So the UFO apparently tend to stay in water. Therefore naval collection of data on UFOs is of particular value. 
Here are statistics of water UFOs: number one place where UFO's were seen by military were in Atlantic - 44 per cent, the Pacific - 16 per cent, 10 per cent - in the Mediterranean Sea, all the rest account for 30 per cent. 

There is evidence that one of the Pacific fleet submarines, while on combat patrol, found itself next to six unknown objects they could not classify. Maneuvering away from uninvited escort failed. The commander of submarine was forced to ascent, flagrantly violating the rules of performing combat patrols. At the time of surfacing the boat, six UFOs got out of the water and escaped. 

A former nuclear submarine commander Rear-Admiral Yuri Beketov repeatedly engaged in combat service in the Bermuda Triangle and has reported to Admiral Smirnov about unusual phenomena. Today, he says:

We came out close to the United States and moved to Bermuda. Then moved back. Throughout we faced many unusual phenomena: the instruments failed with no apparent reason, some gave out a powerful noise. It seems that some unexplained phenomena are created artificially. We repeatedly observed devices recording the movement of physical objects with unimaginable speed. We measured the speed - up tp 230 knots (400 km per hour).  It is hard to establish this speed above the surface of water - in the air. But in water there is a gigantic resistance. As if to these objects laws of physics do not apply. Conclusion number one: the beings, who created such physical objects, are much superior to us in their development. You can even suggest that in the depths of the ocean along with us lives another ancient civilization. Or beings of extraterrestrial origin, hidden from human eyes in deep water.
Incidentally, the Bermuda Triangle is the most profound depression in Atlantic. Its depth is 8742 meters. Perhaps there are hidden UFO bases, or rather unidentified underwater objects.

Veteran of Navy Intelligence and First Rank Captain Igor Barclay says:

Ocean UFOs often appear in areas of concentration of our forces or the NATO fleet. That is - the Bahamas and Bermuda, Porto Rico and the surface area of the eastern coast of the United States. According to some experts, there are underwater UFO bases. Especially UFOs  are seen in the deep area of the Atlantic - in the south of the Bermuda Triangle and the Caribbean. And act they not like visitors.
Very impressive data on the observation of a UFO in Baikal lake. At  the depths of the lake sailors repeatedly observed luminescence resembling searchlights and flashes similar to electric welding, as well as in the lake radius in the form of unexplained bright luminous silver discs and cylinders.

In summer 1982 military divers, during their training, dived in the water of Lake Baikal several times and almost came face to face with underwater swimmers in their body-fitting silver jumpsuits. They looked similar to normal people, only about tree meters tall. In addition, at a depth of 50 meters, they had neither an aqualung, or any other devices, but their heads were concealed in spherical helmets. Attempting to catch unidentified divers ended tragically. From seven people trying to do this using a net, four became disabled and three died.

According to the military sailors, there are different kinds of UFOs: saucers and cigars.

There is evidence from the Pacific Fleet crew (continues Vladimir Azhazha) how in remote areas of Pacific, they watched cylinders hanging in the sky. Smaller saucers exited from them and immersed in the water, and then again returned to the main cylinder and flew away. According to our notions, the cylinder resembled the uterus. In respect to the submarine bases I can say one thing: why not? I can not dismiss the evidence. It is easier to take a position of skeptic: not to believe and do nothing. People rarely immerse themselves in the great depths of ocean. It is therefore very important to analyze what they found there.
A commentary by the Chairman of Public research organization «Underwater Search» and First Rank Captain Vladimir Prikhodko:
"The data collected by our seamen have been confirmed by numerous foreign evidences. For example, inside U.S. military press circulated information about  unexplainable contact off the coast of Porto Rico. The Navy of United States conducted a training, designed learn to detect "enemy's" submarine. In this exercise participated one aircraft carrier, five escort ships, submarines and few aircraft. All the submarines involved in training where maneuvering in the «quiet invisible mode». Suddenly something extraordinary happened", 
said professor Sandersen, who made a report based on analysis of documents from the United States Navy:
"The technician of hydro acoustics on one of the escort ships noticed that one of the submarines had violated the order and it looked like it was pursuing somewhat unexplainable objective».
The data from acoustics technician put other officers at a standstill. The fact was, devices registered that the speed of unidentified object which moved under water was 150 knots! That is - 280 km / h! This was not possible, because modern submarine in submerged condition can not reach a speed above 45 knots. Officer immediately reported to the captain, who in turn immediately contacted the base ship. They were surprised to learn that, not just one but all the rest of the ships reported the same phenomena. "At least," - writes Professor Sandersen - "13 times they logged with hydro acoustic equipment ultra high speed objects". Immediately reports on all of these were sent to the commander of the Atlantic fleet of the United States Navy.

The object kept maneuvering for four days within a radius of a vast area, and four days the ships and planes of the United States Navy followed where the signal was coming from, observing it. (Or, rather, he followed them? "). That is not it. Judging by the records, the object was able to immerse at a depth of 20,000 feet within minutes. In other words, he had to maneuver in the vertical and horizontal planes. This can not be done with any of the modern submarine vessel built by man. Not to mention that the immersion limit for a modern submarine is not more than 6000 feet. Even  «Trieste», built specifically for immersing famous oceanographer Jacques Pikkar in 1960, made a record dive in Mariánské depression to a depth of about 35,800 feet in 4.5 hours so he is not destroyed. But this maneuver of the unknown object from the surface to a depth of 20,000 feet was done in a matter of minutes! "In other words," - writes Sanderson - "a mysterious object literally belongs to another world".

There was another unusual case witnessed by a famous Arctic explorer Dr. Rubens Dzh.Villela, as well as watch officer and helmsman icebreaker, who took part in naval exercises, code-named «Deep Freeze» in the northern Atlantic. In the evening Dr. Villela was on the deck. Suddenly he saw as «something came out of the water cracking the ice three metres wide, and a huge silver bullet disappeared in the sky. Huge blocks of ice, raised in the air tens of meters high, with the cannon roar they hit back on the hummocks, and the water formed in huge bubbles. From it rose a steam. This seems to indicate a giant energy potential that just happened to be released.

In 70'ies American military conducted underwater communications tests. There was a vessel in Atlantic Ocean that emitted signals from the coast. Suddenly they began to receive similar signals, but slightly modified. The analysis revealed: it is not an echo, not a repetition of the primary signal. They located the source. It was at a depth of 8 kilometers. According to American scientists, it looked as if someone had a signal, then they modified it, and passed it back on the same frequency as if to attract attention.

Initially deciphering of the signal failed. Recent repeated attempts on it were done by using powerful computers at Pentagon. The results are not reported. But Americans have increased activity since then in the area signals were «reflected».

In the early 90-ies of the last century, during the test of the sea bed of Bermuda triangle there were two gigantic pyramids found at  a depth of 600 meters. The size of which exceeded the size of the Egyptian pyramids. This was back in 1991. It was reported by the oceanographer and a head of the expedition Dr. Kvedvar Mendlik. In his opinion, the pyramids were built only 50 years ago. Technology is unclear. The material is like a very thick glass.

In 1997, the Belingsgauzen depression near antarctic area was examined by Australian military. At a depth of 6 kilometers camera captured oval shaped objects, emitting intense inner light. The film was examined by scholars of Royal Institute of Oceanology. The conclusion was unequivocal: these structures can only be of artificial origin.

These facts lead to the conclusion that the depth of the ocean is as mysterious as cosmos. The problem is - humankind is rushing upwards with great interest and not too intense downwards. Maybe this is a big mistake.

Apparantly there's a Pacific Bermuda Triangle;

The Devil's Sea (魔の海, Ma no Umi?), also known as the Dragon's Triangle, the Formosa Triangle (Traditional Chinese: 福爾摩沙三角; Simplified Chinese: 福尔摩沙三角; pinyin: Fúěrmóshā Sānjiǎo) and the "Pacific Bermuda Triangle", is a region of the Pacific around Miyake Island, about 100 km south of Tokyo. The size and area varies with the report (the only reports stem from the 1950s), with various reports placing it 70 miles from an unspecified part of Japan's east coast, 300 miles from the coast, and even near Iwo Jima, 750 miles from the coast.(Kusche:259-260)
As for the pyramid part which I was most interested about all I've been able to find is nothing conclusive, some articles debunk it while others are supportive of it :(
And finally with regards to the Russian subs seeing objects doing 240knots on Sonar, has nobody seen that it also says that equipment would malfunction? Now I'm all for believing but what's to say their equipment wasn't malfunctioning when they picked up these objects up ?

So... are these 1991 Russian-discovered under-sea pyramids the same as the one discovered by Dr. Ray Brown in 1970, and/or the one described by Charles Berlitz in his 1978 book "Without a Trace"? I think those were also in the vicinity of Bermuda.

Zorgon, I'm lead to believe that whole documentary narrated by Roger Moore is totally made up. I did have a better link but found this one (credit to fooffstarr):

Unknown Explorers - Lake Baikal Monster

Located in Southern Siberia, Russia, Lake Baikal, with a maximum depth of over 5,300 feet and an age of roughly 25 to 30 million years, is the deepest and one of the oldest lakes in the world. Lake Baikal is the world’s largest lake by volume and holds 20% of the world’s fresh surface water as well as reports of a mysterious Lake Monster. The Lake Baikal Monster is described by some as being a sturgeon like creature while others have likened it to a giant Pinniped, or large marine mammal.

These descriptions could very well hold the key to the identity of the Lake Baikal Monster as the largest sturgeon ever recorded was caught in Russian and measured 27 feet in length, Lake Baikal also supports a huge seal population, even though it is located more than 1,000 miles from the nearest marine coast. Some investigators have suggested that the creature may be a prehistoric relic, using the lakes age as support to this theory. Others feel that the monster may be more man made, stating the tremendous amount of pollution that has spewed into the lake, The Baikalsk Pulp and Paper Mill alone is reported to have dump approximately 210,000 cubic meters of untreated waste into Lake Baikal every day since 1966.

With Lake Baikal playing host to over 1095 plant species and 1550 varieties of animal, including some found no where else in the world, it is not hard to imagine a form of large marine animal going undetected in its deep waters. As to the Lake Baikal Monsters true identity, be it a giant sturgeon, a giant seal like animal or a form of prehistoric relic, we can only wait for the day that Lake Baikal’s murky depths reveals its secret to the world.

The Evidence
No physical evidence currently exists to support the existence of the Lake Baikal Monster

The Sightings
No documented sightings of the Lake Baikal Monster could be found at this time.
