Giant Whale Falls Out Of Sky In UK?
{multithumb thumb_width=590}A dead baleen whale was found in a Yorkshire field this week, about 800 meters away from the shoreline, off the Humber Estuary in England.
Experts are fairly confident the animal is a rare female sei whale, Balaenoptera borealis, according to The Telegraph. The whale is 33 feet (10 meters) long.
It is believed to have got stuck in shallow waters nearby. Andy Gibson from the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust told The Telegraph that there have only been three strandings of this species in UK waters during the last two decades.
"It is sad," he added. "It was in shallow water of about 1.2m (4ft) to 1.6m (5.25ft), making contact with the bottom."
"When it gets in that situation it rolls onto its side and it can cover its blow hole."
However, it remains a mystery as to how the whale ended up so far away from the sea.
Kirsten Smith, North Seas Living Seas manager at Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, said the area is a salt marsh, which is still connected to the sea, according to the Express.
"With the high tide the whale probably got carried up on to the salt marsh, got pushed further in shore and then got stuck when the tide went out," she added.
However, the whale, weighing several tons, was found lying in the middle of vegetation, making it hard to imagine how such shallow water could have transported it there.
For someone to move the whale there, a vehicle would be required, which would have left tracks, and any motivations for moving the mammal are unclear, except to harvest the meat or as some sort of prank perhaps.
{etRelated 48895, 61146}Another explanation is that the whale somehow got lifted by a freak weather phenomenon like a water spout and deposited on land. However, a large amount of water would be required for this to happen and some sort of evidence of the weather's and water's effects on the surrounding land would be expected.
In a video posted on YouTube, the user mentioned the possibility of aliens being involved, referring to "cow abduction," when cattle have mysteriously disappeared or been found lifeless and mutilated, for example with their blood drained or organs damaged and missing, according to various reports.

Old news, its been known that whales can move with little itty bitty legs that are very hard to see. read about it in a russian scientific journal (translated). Obvious.
it was dropped there by the Aliens
Fell from the sky??????? LMAO
little tiny legs….LMFAO!!!
hard to beat them russian scientists. Tiny legs….bahahahaha.
anything else then aliens.. its very illogical to even mention them before every other option is exhausted. Thinking outside the box is encouraged, but jumping on a faith based assumption kills all logic.
Na, it’s a time travelling experiment gone wrong. The whales in the future have invented a time machine and it landed when the tide was out. LOL
it was global swarming what done it, really just ask Al Gore
Obviously the same people that built Stonehenge and the pyramids did this. That much is obvious.
if it fell from the sky though, wouldn’t they be looking a whale hamburger all over the place? or you would be able to tell at least
It swam into a portal and teleported there! Lol…
Comments reflect ignorance with little insight or forethought. Here is a small scale answer to a large scaless, intelligent, aquatic mammals delimmea.

Must have been the giant black hole monster that lives on Elenin. Ya, that must be it.
The Earth magnetic changes combined with an outside source transported this whale to the service. Must be a scientific reason. Whales are sacred and intelligent
That’s a whale of a story!!
