A group of Alaska softball team students were on a ferry trip near Kodiak Island when they were watching a pod of Orcas. Soon after, a huge unknown sea creature appears while hunting the Orca pod!
I received the following account from a reader:
"Hello. I read a few of your ocean creature posts recently. I really enjoyed them.
I was on a ferry for a school softball trip, off Kodiak Island, Alaska in May 2014. I was 18. Many of us had snuck up to the deck around 11pm to watch the waves, smoke cigarettes and weed, and generally be teenagers on a boat without supervision. The sun was about to set but it was still bright outside.
So we’re just doing our thing and notice a pod of Orcas swimming with the ferry’s wake, which is very cool but not unusual. If you’re familiar with the dimensions of an Orca fin you know they’re about 4-6 feet in height and look like big black spikes coming out of the water. They travel and hunt in pods of anywhere between 15-40 whales. Apex predators. The beautiful demon murderers of the sea. Top of the food chain.
So we saw a pod of Orcas and counted them to be around 10-15, with some babies scattered in there. Very fun to watch, took them a good 30 minutes to all go by. We tried to get pictures, but it was just dark enough that our phone cameras weren't very good. Another 30 or 40 minutes go by and we’ve all pretty much sobered up and it’s about to get dark and we’re cold and sleepy and about ready to go in. No more Orcas, haven’t seen one for like half an hour, and then one of my JV girls spots another one. So we all turn and look, but one dorsal fin is immediately followed by another and another, and another, and then two more, and then two more after that, in two separate rows, and they’re taller, by a LOT, and jagged, like some, have whole chunks torn out of them, and they’re all 8-10 feet high. And they’re all attached to ONE creature, and we can just barely see its back slicing through the water, covered in these rows of spikes, and it just keeps coming!
This thing is like 20 or 30 feet from the ferry, running parallel to it, and we are all transfixed. There’s like 9 or 10 of us and no one is saying a word because we’ve all turned to look at a whale and we are all now watching something that is like, horrifically, terrifyingly, and obviously NOT a whale. Someone tries to take a picture but it’s too dark at this point and the only reason we can see this thing is the light cast from ferry portholes. I really wish you had a picture of it. But we all stand there completely scared stiff and in awe and we watch this thing just KEEP surfacing for a good 6 or 7 minutes which means that whatever it was was LONG. Like 60 or 70 feet long. Or longer. And covered in enormous spikes.
It took what felt like an eternity for any of us to say anything after the last of it disappeared back into the strait. I mean if you and like eight of your friends had just all seen something that all science had DEFINITELY pointed to not exist, and you had all seen the same exact thing, AND it was very OBVIOUSLY trailing, nay, HUNTING, not one but 15 something APEX PREDATORS, what do you even say to break that silence? That’s the thing that eats me about the whole thing, is it was hunting. It was following them. It was literally hunting about 60 tons of toothy, angry, intelligent apex predators.
Every once in a while one of us will hit another one of us up and check in, like, “Do remember this? Was I hallucinating? Did we all see the same, insane, worldview-melting, terrifying thing that night?” And the reason I KNOW we did is that none of us talked about it after that, not during the trip, not after, not to any of our friends because how do you even tell someone about something like that. Now we have almost 10 years between us and that night I assume some of them have probably told people. I know I tell people because I’ve seen a LOT of strange things like that in Alaska. Also, there’s a very rich history among native Alaskans of something that lives and hunts in the waters around Kodiak and it’s important to tell its story because someday it’s going eat a little too much plastic and no one will ever watch it hunt a pod of orcas from a boat ever again."
