Satellite image of 'sea troll' haunting New Zealand
bay debunked by science
The big
wake seen swirling through one of New Zealand's picturesque bays on Google
Earth called to mind a mysterious sea creature for one impressionable local —
and soon the internet rumour mill buzzed with details of the
"unexplained" satellite find. Pita Witehira, of Hamilton, spotted the
image on Google about a week ago while researching a holiday home location at
Oke Bay, in the Bay of Islands.
For centuries people have spun tales of
sea monsters with giant tentacles that drag people to their doom. Is there any
truth to the stories?

For
centuries, fishermen from Norway and Greenland have told tales of a terrifying
sea monster: the kraken. Supposedly, this vast creature has giant tentacles
that can pluck you from your boat and drag you to the depths of the ocean. You
can't see it coming, because it lurks deep beneath you in the dark water. But
if you suddenly find yourself catching a great many fish, you should flee: the
kraken might be beneath you, scaring the fish towards the surface.
