What did trained British naval officers really see in the waters of the South Atlantic in 1848?

In this episode of Get Weird, Brittany Barbieri dives into the legendary HMS Daedalus sea monster sighting—a case so compelling that multiple officers officially documented an enormous serpent-like creature. Was it a misidentified animal, a lost species, or evidence that our oceans still hold secrets beyond our understanding?

Drawing parallels to the coelacanth, a fish once thought extinct until its rediscovery in 1938, Brittany explores why keeping an open mind matters—especially when more than 70% of the ocean remains unexplored.

Could unknown creatures still be lurking beneath the waves? 🌊🐍

Stay curious. Stay weird.
