On the 6th May 2025, a discovery was made at a location in Wales, UK. Agents Evans and Carter were alerted to a species closely related to the shark family washed up upon the coast. Upon initial inspection, it was found that the fish had been cut on the right hand side where the gills should have been. The cut was almost square looking, meaning that it could not of been made by another sea predator. After inspection, another was spotted offshore just a few metres away, and had the same wound on the right hand side.
After both were inspected, two more were found in very shallow water, again just metres away, and with the same wounds. A fifth was discovered, again in shallow was, just a couple of metres up, and once again with the same precision wound.
The wounds themselves were no bigger than two inches width and just over an inch length. Both agents came to an initial conclusion that perhaps they were being used as bait, but upon inspection of the wounds, this could not be verified as it does not fit in with fishing tradition nor the laws set.
A statement was given by agent Carter.
“To find one sea creature with this unique type of wound could have been passed off as a unique injury, but to find five all with the same injury and the same dimensions of wound is extremely rare, and can therefore only be put down as some form of mutilation. To add, just over a week before todays discovery, we had reports of metallic object hovering in the sky in the same vicinity, that kept disappearing. This sighting occurred during daylight hours. Whether the two are connected we do not know at this point, however, we cannot rule that out as an option at this early stage of investigation. We will be returning the following day to conduct further investigation.”
The exact location of discovery will currently remain confidential until the investigation has either reached conclusion, or has sufficient evidence to warrant public disclosure.
The next stage of investigation is to obtain photographic and video evidence as well as inspecting the wounds more carefully and obtain any samples from the wounds themselves. This normally would have occurred today, however the tide was coming in at a particular fast rate, and the investigating agents had to prioritise their safety first.
An update is expected within the next 48hours and the public can expect a full report upon conclusion of the investigation.
