It's been almost a month since we set a camera down to the challenge of deep. Part of the wider, Marianas trench.

It's not much money in deep sea exploration. There's always been a passion project for us.

Thankfully it seems to be that way for some wealthier individuals too. We are finally able to secure funding for an extensive and expensive mapping of the deep sea floor and the species that inhabit the waters there.

Camera uses a combination of echolocation to detect both land formations and moving targets and their size, and a light to be able to capture them on film.

The project proved to be a success. During our first week we managed to see a filled shark, a vampire squid, and even a glass octopus.

We took turns watching the footage, although most of the time one person watching quickly turned into force and it's none of us could stand the thought of missing something exceptional.

A little over a week ago however, I was alone.

It had been an uneventful few days since we were exploring the deepest part of the trench, and at over 10 kilometers deep there weren't many creatures to encounter.

The only reason we even bothered to spend so much time there was to map the land formations.

Suddenly I was awakened from my thoughts by the deep of the monitor as it detected something moving. I looked up and almost fell from my chair.

What it was detecting was roughly the size of an apartment building. I shouted for my colleagues and took over the controls by hand trying to steer the camera towards whatever was emitting the sound.

It was moving away from us so I decided to shoot my shot and turn the light on. Maybe we'd catch a glimpse.

First there was nothing but then something flashed across the left corner of the screen.

That's a fucking fin or a tail. Dan said in disbelief. Natalie was squinting at the screen. Was it a whale?

Whatever it was I said it's gone now. The radar had gone silent.

If it was a whale this would be the discovery of the century. Dan said that's over 10 kilometers deep. John shook his head. No way that was a whale.
