--"Montauk Monster" 2008--


Atlanta, GA 7/31/2008 05:32 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)

Scientists have yet to identify what type of animal the "Monster of Montauk" truly is, according to reports on Thursday.

The "Montauk Monster" washed up onshore of a New York beach in Montauk, Long Island. Several onlookers took pictures of it, sending it via e-mail on Wednesday.
According to Newsday, Alanna Navitski, an employee for Los Angeles' Evolutionary Media Group, was behind the media frenzy. Navitski sent the picture of the "monster" to Anna Holmes, the managing editor at Jezebel, who then sent it to Gawker.

Gawker published the photo with the headline "Dead Monster Washes Ashore in Montauk".

"I got this e-mail and opened it from my girlfriend who works at Harris Publications, which has nothing to do with anything," says Navitski as she retells the story. "Anyway, my girlfriend's sister was there with her friends and one of them took the picture.
And we were like, 'This is the scariest shit we've ever seen.'"
Navitski discredits the rumor that this picture is apart of a viral marketing scheme. "And so — I'm in marketing — were like, 'Maybe we should send it to a few blogs and see if anyone else is as freaked out as we are,'" said Navitski.
"We had no idea that it would turn into this. Now it's literally a beast of its own. But it has nothing to do with any kind of campaign."

Many believe that it is a sea turtle without a shell or the remnants of a government animal-testing facility nearby. However,
no scientific specialist has yet to identify what animal or creature this "Montauk Monster" truly is.

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear attacks at the end of World War II against the Empire of Japan by the United States at the order of U.S. President Harry S. Truman on August 6 and 9, 1945. After six months of intense firebombing of 67 other Japanese cities, the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on the city of Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945, followed on August 9 by the detonation of the "Fat Man" nuclear bomb over Nagasaki. These are to date the only attacks with nuclear weapons in the history of warfare.

The bombs killed as many as 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki by the end of 1945, roughly half on the days of the bombings. Since then, thousands more have died from injuries or illness attributed to
exposure to radiation released by the bombs. In both cities, the overwhelming majority of the dead were civilians.
~
Six days after the detonation over Nagasaki, on
August 15, Japan announced its surrender to the Allied Powers, signing the Instrument of Surrender on September 2, officially ending the Pacific War and therefore World War II. (Germany had signed its Instrument of Surrender on May 7, ending the war in Europe.) The bombings led, in part, to post-war Japan adopting Three Non-Nuclear Principles, forbidding that nation from nuclear armament.
