I'm posting again what some of the differences are between an oarfish and the animal my brother and I saw on February 5, 1985 directly in front of us and only 20 yards away.
An oarfish has a red serrated mane running down its entire length on the top of its body.
The animal we saw had no mane at all along the upper body and midsection of the body.
An oarfish is silver in color.
The animal we saw was black in color the entire length of its upper body which we estimated was at least 30 feet.
The midsection was black on top then changed colors along the sides from a mossy green to a grassy green then to a yellow green where the sides of the midsection met the underbelly.
The rear body was the same color black as the upper body.
An oarfish has a thin uniform in length body and no underbelly.
The animal we saw has a tubular shaped upper body then it widens where the midsection begins and then where the rear portion begins it tapers towards the tail.
The midsection has a padded, leathery underbelly which is whitish in color with a slight tint of yellow. It is segmented and the edges where each segment ends and begins created a distinct line that was easily seen.
An oarfish has a big round eye on each side of its head,
The animal we saw had two eyes in the front of its head which were set back beneath some kind of brow.
An oarfish has a tapering beak-like pointed snout which can be seen in your photo.
The animal we saw had a snout similar to a German Shepard's snout except the animal's snout was not pointed like the end of a German Shepard's snout. Instead, it had a squared off snout with two slightly oval shaped nostrils at the front end of it that were about the size of a man's fist.
An oarfish does not have fan-like fins that open and close.
The animal we saw had fan-like fins on the sides of the beginning and end of the midsection which opened and closed.
An oarfish does not have hexagonal shaped scales.
The animal we saw has hexagonal shaped scales on its midsection which varied in size with the smallest being at the top, the beginning and end of the midsection and getting larger in size the closer they got closer to the center of the midsection with the largest scales being at the center of the midsection where the midsection met the edge of the underbelly.
An oarfish does not have large jowls.
The animal we saw has large jowls similar to a horse's jowls.
An oarfish swims using slight horizontal undulations like can be seen in your photo.
The animal we saw swims using vertical undulations and at times creates radical vertical undulations which can be seen in the drawing of the upper body that we posted.
An oarfish cannot raise its body above the surface of the water straight up in the air.
The animal we saw raised its body above the surface of the water approximately 10 feet straight up in the air.
An oarfish only comes to the surface when it is sick or dying.
The animal we saw was chasing a sea lion so it was very healthy and trying to get something to eat.
That's just some of the differences between an oarfish and the animal my brother and I saw.

Here's another video of the phoenix lights and you can hear what some of the eyewitnesses are saying as they film them.

BTW, it was thousands of eyewitnesses who saw the Phoenix lights not hundreds as I previously posted.

I was responding to what BamaAtl said but I accidentally posted it to a response you made.
In any event, don't have a cow about it.

Yeah, the Phoenix lights which were witnessed by thousands of eyewitnesses including the governor who later admitted he had also seen them.
What do you claim the lights were?
Flares?

So what about the camera? Why can't you seem to get a decent picture of any of this?

The moron actually tried to make excuses for willfully using a substandard camera the last time i got into this with him

Every phone made today will get better pictures than anything he's offered. What was his excuse for having shite pictures?

Something about the maritime environment and not wanting to risk expensive equipment or some such nonsense.
Dude spends years getting made fun of and then goes BACK out and gets 1950s era quality.
ROFLMAO

You weren't there on February 5, 1985 when my brother and I had a close definitive sighting of a sea serpent that beached itself on a submerged rocky ledge only 20 yards away directly in front us so you couldn't possibly know that we didn't see what we know we saw. Are you claiming that you believe there isn't even a remote possibility that sea serpents might exist?
You know, I think you saw something that you had never seen before, was it a sea serpent? IDK but if you have witnessed this creature several times I would get quality video equipment and see if you can get definitive proof. Are you still looking?

It would be the ultimate troll if he "sighted it" again and AGAIN shot it in black and white and took photos with a 1980 Polaroid. LOL
