A Vietnamese woman was escaping by boat, with other people, and transversing toward Thailand in the South China Sea. A huge 'fish' appears, but unknown what it is.
I received the following account:
"Hello there, Lon. It came to interest me how you can send in your own story about a close encounter or possibly something unusual. So I have a story my mother told me a long time ago about encountering a creature (which of course I was really skeptical about) when she was roughly 15-16 years old (Now 65). She recently told me the story again and it was still the same way she told me when I was 15-16 which then made me believe, what if it was true? And if it is true, what was it?
When my mother was still living in Vietnam, she was very poor like every working Vietnamese citizen there. People worked hard to try to earn money or at the very least get enough food to survive the rough lifestyle of Vietnam. Back then, my mother told me it was a very shady place to live. People died easily because of starvation or health problems which killed many hard-working people. Another way many people died was how citizens were forced to go to different areas of Vietnam to work. My mother was soon one of the many who had to be forced to go elsewhere.
That very same night when she was soon to leave, her brother managed to tell her about a boat that was to be used to escape Vietnam and head away from there. At least a dozen people (including my Mother and Uncle) got on a boat and headed out from Hà Tiên towards Thailand.
That night, when the dozen escaped, they celebrated and rejoiced by drinking and eating on the boat through the first night. Through the 2nd or 3rd day, their engine broke, and were now traveling where the water took them. Through the 4th day of being on water, they barely had any supplies and soon the group began to think they would all die with little water and food.
My mother doesn't know what day this was during the one week of being out at sea before reaching Thailand but this is when the encounter with the creature occurred. My mother also didn't tell me what time of day it was, but it was bright enough to be able to see the creature in the water. (during mid-day?)
As the boat was still moving through the force of the water, my mother noticed a very big creature close to the boat. She described the creature to be "gray" in color and also very big. She told me that the creature must have been much bigger than the boat they were in considering it was right beside them.
Also, my mother explained to me that the creature didn't move at all when my mother looked at the body of the creature, it just stayed in the shallow water. Surprisingly, I asked her if she saw a face, tail, or anything else that could define it. But she told me that her friend grabbed her and told her not to look in case something bad were to occur. Another interesting detail my mother told me was that she felt, that if the creature were to move, even its tail if it did have one, she thought the boat would definitely flip or possibly destroy the boat. I asked my Mom what you thought it could have been and the first thing that came up in her mind was "Fish."
But I know in my own conscience, it couldn't have been a fish. So I also asked her if the body of the creature was smooth, and she responded, "Yes." After the next couple of days, the dozen managed to make it to Thailand and never saw that creature again.
So in my own thoughts, I had to rule out that it was no fish, and if somehow in the world, it is a fish, it's definitely a unique one with a smooth gray body and no scales.
Also, if my mother did see its entire body, there were definitely no top fins on the creature which almost wants me to rule out it was no shark, but it could have been a bit deeper to not reveal its top fin?
I'm also not too sure what creatures lurk in the South China Sea and if they even have any big sea creatures.
I wanted to come up with a possibility it was a whale or shark but to get so close to a boat, wouldn't the creatures get scared? Also, it stood still in the water for a while, I don't exactly know if sharks have the tendency to do that. Whales on the other hand, maybe? Even for a fish, there definitely, is no way it could be one.
I was hoping I could get some answers on what it may of or could have been. If you guys get this, hopefully, you guys can fill me in with anything related to this.
Appreciate it. - Johnny"
NOTE: I think that this could have been a whale, but without more specific details, it's difficult to decide. What do you believe it was? Lon

YOUR SUPPORT IS APPRECIATED! THANKS
Cryptid canine sightings and encounters have been reported by Pennsylvania's residents for centuries! Dwayyo, Werewolves, Lycans, etc. There are various monikers used by witnesses throughout the Keystone State. The physical descriptions and characteristics also vary.
For several years, I have collected many of these intriguing incidents, as told to me and my colleagues by the witnesses. I look forward to your opinions, discussions, and questions about these intriguing cryptids.
