“Mermaids: The Body Found” increases speculation on existence of mermaids
By Amanda Shore
Paul Robertson, a former employee of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), speaks in a two-hour Animal Planet special about his experiences with his research team while they were investigating mass whale beachings around the world. This television program, “Mermaids: The Body Found,” took about five years to complete and gives compelling evidence that suggests that mermaids could be real.
In this program, a sound clip that has been called “the bloop” is played as the first piece of evidence that there is an unknown or new species in the water. Robertson and his team were investigating the mass whale beachings in 2007. When they examined the tissue samples that they took from the whales, they discovered evidence of a SONAR weapon. They believed that this weapon caused the whales to become disoriented. The whales tried to escape the blasts of sound and ended up in waters that were too shallow to support their massive sizes, so they ended up beached.
To try and prove this theory, they pulled up one of their buoys that was recording SONAR activity. It was in this recording that the bloop was discovered. They recognized the sound of another animal mixed in with the sounds of the whales and dolphins. After more closely inspecting it, they discovered that the unknown creature was communicating with them, possibly warning each other to get away.
Later on, there was another mass beaching in South Africa. The researchers in South Africa had recorded similar sounds on their own devices. Robertson and his team traveled there to investigate. There, they were shown the remains of an unknown creature that had been found inside a great white shark. After carefully studying this creature’s remains, these scientists became convinced that it was a mermaid.
Unfortunately, the government confiscated the remains and their research as the team was about to return to the United States. The only thing that they had left was the bloop. Robertson tracked down one of two boys that had reportedly seen a mermaid body on the beach the morning of the first mass whale beaching. He says that he captured the mermaid on his camera phone. Robertson viewed this video as well as a drawing that the boy did after the event. The drawing matched what his team had found.
In addition to all of the scientific evidence that they found, they also looked to history for some evidence. There have been reports of strange spears and daggers found in sea creatures that fishermen have been finding for years. Robertson had found one of these tools in the great white shark. 16th-century drawings show very close matches to what Robertson and his team found. Ancient cave paintings show struggles between humans and mermaids.
Robertson stated in the program that he believes that mermaids do exist but that, unlike one of his colleagues who thinks that the only solution is to find them, he doesn’t want to find the mermaids anymore. He stated that he thinks the mermaids have survived this long because they know how to hide. He talked about how he doesn’t think that humans would be able to coexist with the mermaids without wiping them out. He is still trying to get the testing and development of the SONAR weapon to stop in order to save whales, dolphins and mermaids.
Whether they are mermaids or not, there are definitely mysterious and unknown species in the oceans. Watch “Mermaids: The Body Found” to decide for yourself.

When.is the new evidence movie on?
Gee, the first time this aired on television, I was like, oh cool. Mermaids are real. Then I freaked out at the cell phone footage. Probably fake though.
You honestly believe we can simply write it off because an “offical” says it isn’t true? The NOAA can’t be blindly trusted anymore than the government. I’m not a conspiracy nut, or even a die hard mermaid believer, but I also see no issue with posing the question, “What if?” or “Could there be..?” There are signs of other life forms, and I don’t believe the the intention was to “fool people”. I’ll gladly take on the name of fool, if that is what being open minded means.
If there are MerPeople I would Say it is some horrible Army or CIA expirament into Genetic Engineering, They are the kind of people who want to create a disembodied brain to put into the drivers seat of a YF22. Sirt of like in the movie “Donovans Brain”. Mer people might make better Navy SEALS than any land creature. They would be like porposes which are the only mamillian creature I know capable of killing a great white shark.
As people have already pointed out, it is a ‘fake’ documentary. The presentation of this article is grossly misleading since it fails to make it clear that the claims are fictional.

I saw the show Mermaids The Body Found I’m almost nine but i belived in mermaids so this was so wierd for me. The first mermaid I saw was Ariel the Disney mermaid so when I watched this i thought they would be more prettier so when i saw that they were blue i was FREAKED OUT and the video when the kids poked the mermaid with a stick it scared me so BAD but when ever the video showed up my sister would turn it down and watch it but i would cover up under my cover on the couch ’cause it has a big T.V
They had me going, until I looked up the show and discovered Animal Planet refers to it as a “docu-fiction”. The evidence shown was entirely fiction.
But what I find fascinating is that the ideas presented aren’t entirely unplausible. It IS widely believed that Humans began to walk erect when they learned to find food in water. It isn’t all that far-fetched that some were compelled to focus their entire diet on seafood and evolved into aquatic mammals. It wouldn’t be the first time our ancestry branched. Neanderthals are a branch separate from our own which became extinct. Perhaps others successfully branched off and were able to thrive and survive by evading and avoiding contact with us. I’m convinced through personal experience that sasquatch are real. Considering we know more about deep space than we know of our own oceans’ depths, an aquatic primate/humanoid actually seems even more likely.
People are born with a blank slate of a mind. It is possible such a show might make believers out of some in what it is trying to say.What did Ben Franklin once say or write ?
You can fool most of the people some of the time, even if some
of the time is 2012 years ? If the maker of this film can fool only one million people out of 7 billion, just imagine the money he or she might make ? :-O
