Case No. #1436
Periodic Sighting of an Unidentified Giant Creature, Accompanied by Peculiar Low-Frequency Vibrations, Muddy Secretion, and Alteration of Surrounding Vegetation in the Ituri Rainforest, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Summary
On July 19, 2023, an unidentified giant creature, estimated to be over 10 meters in length, was sighted by multiple investigators deep within the Ituri Rainforest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This sighting was accompanied by peculiar low-frequency vibrations strong enough to shake the ground, a foul-smelling muddy secretion spread in the vicinity, and the rapid discoloration and wilting of specific plant groups. Despite similarities to local indigenous legends, no corresponding records exist in official biological databases. Authorities are conducting ongoing investigations to ascertain its ecological impact and existence, classifying this incident with high priority due to its periodicity and distinct anomalies.
Details
On July 19, 2023, at 14:37, a report originated from the ground during an aerial survey of an unexplored region of the Ituri Rainforest, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The helicopter pilot testified to seeing a creature larger than an elephant submerge into the water in an open area of the dense jungle. Immediately thereafter, a strong vibration lasting several seconds propagated through the aircraft. This initial report decisively prompted authorities to conduct a detailed investigation.
Several days later, a ground investigation team reached the sighting location. The site was a swamp approximately 50 meters in diameter, with multiple gigantic drag marks on the surrounding mud, inconsistent with any known animal. From a corner of the swamp, a viscous, brownish secretion, believed to be an unknown organic substance, was collected. These traces constituted strong physical evidence suggesting the presence of the observed giant creature.
Furthermore, specific groups of vine plants surrounding the swamp were found to have unnaturally discolored from their original vibrant green to a dark purple and were rapidly dying. This abnormal plant change was suspected to be linked to the collected secretion. Elders of the local indigenous community spoke of "Mokèlé-mbèmbé's wrath," suggesting similar phenomena had been reported in the past.
Authorities installed multiple automated monitoring stations in the vicinity to track low-frequency sounds, vibrations, and chemical composition changes. On August 21, 2023, at 03:12, August 22, 2023, at 01:45, and September 23, 2023, at 04:01, ultra-low-frequency vibrations below 20Hz were periodically detected within a radius of approximately 2 kilometers. However, concurrent video recordings did not capture any clear visual of a creature beyond a slight disturbance on the swamp's surface.
Detailed analysis of the collected muddy secretion revealed unclassified macromolecular structures, distinct from known biological proteins or DNA. This raised the possibility of unique biological activity inexplicable by existing biology. These analytical results further compounded the unexplained nature of the incident.
This incident involves the existence of periodic phenomena and multiple physical evidences suggesting unknown biological activity. However, direct evidence such as clear footage or capture of a specimen has not been achieved, and its ecology, origin, and mechanism of environmental impact remain unknown. Authorities prioritize the potential existence of this unidentified giant creature, continuing ecological surveys and attempting to predict and capture it during its next appearance cycle.

Witness Testimony
Pilot ADeep in the rainforest, in an open water area, I couldn't believe something of that size was there. It vanished into the water instantly. The helicopter shook violently right after. That was no ordinary animal.
Investigation Team Leader BThe drag marks at the site could only be explained by something enormous dragging itself across the ground. The mud had a smell I'd never encountered before, a mix of foul and putrid. The way the plants died was also highly unusual.
Local Guide CIt has been told for generations that there are large creatures deep in the forest. They live in the water, quietly in the depths of the forest. If angered, trees wither and the earth trembles. I never thought it was true.
Kyu's Analysis
The periodicity and peculiar biological traces align. Inexplicable by existing biological classification. Capture is urgent.
