Two construction workers by the names of Makoto Ito and Toshio Hashimoto were fishing off a stone seawall near the US Navy Base in the Japanese port city of Yokosuka when they saw something they would never forget. Ito recalls that ‘It just popped up from beneath the surface and stood there. It was not a fish, an animal or a man. It was about 3 meters in height and was covered in thick, scaly skin like a reptile. It had a face and two large yellow eyes that seemed to be focused on us.’ The witnesses described this entity as a Kappa, which is a mythological creature from Japan that resembles a hybrid of a monkey and a turtle. They effectively act as water goblins that are prone to stealing livestock and attacking swimmers. I’m not sure if the description of this entity as being 3 meters tall is correct, or if the witness meant to say it was 3 feet tall. If the former is correct, then this sounds more like a lizardman sighting.
