In Search of the Great Sea Centipede

Interesting article today on UFO Digest (as if anything posted on a web site so nonchalantly titled as that could be UNinteresting) about the search for the Con Rit - a gigantic sea monster of a centipede supposedly roaming the oceans.

Throughout the ages there have been numerous sightings of Con Rit, and one such encounter was in 1899 when the crew of the HMS Narcissus spotted a giant creature near Cape Falcon in Algeria: The sailors reported sighting a sea monster that possessed an immense number of fins, and measured about 45 metres (150 feet) in length. The creature propelled itself forward with its fins with enough speed to keep pace with the ship. In all the sailors were able to observe it for about half an hour. Some sixteen years before the Cape Falcon sighting, in 1883, it is alleged that the headless corpse of a Con Rit was washed ashore in Hongay, Vietnam. Eyewitness Tran Van Con claimed the carcass to be 18 metres (60 feet) long by one metre (3 feet) wide and covered in 60cm hexagonal armoured segments throughout its length. The creature was dark brown above and yellow on its underside, and when he touched it, it sounded metallic, much like the sound produced when tapping a horseshoe crab shell.

Still not exactly sure what a giant sea centipede has to do with UFOs but hey! I mean, they already have Mantis Aliens so why not giant sea centipede aliens?
