On Friday, March 14, the Japanese Coast Guard responded to
an SOS call from a sinking ship in the middle of the Sea of
Japan. When the rescue effort arrived, they found the crew
of a trawler clinging to the hull of their overturned ship.
After returning to land, each member of the crew and the
officers were questioned about the events causing the
accident, but after the interviews, the men were placed in
confinement for suspicion of sabatoge. Every man claimed
that their boat had been struck by a large cow that had
fallen out of the cloudless sky, leading the authorities to
suspect the story had been concocted to cover up foul play.
The men remained in confinement for a week until a call came
in from the Russian Air Force, who had heard of the
incident. After the call, all of the men were released.
On the same day that the ship sank, a Russian cargo plane
was preparing to take off from an airfield in far eastern
Russia. Before takeoff, the crew of the plane noticed a cow
grazing beside the runway. Hungry for the expensive meat,
they dragged the cow into the cargo hold and took off,
intending to have a feast at their destination. Once in the
air, the disoriented cow went beserk, thrashing and kicking
at anything and anyone within reach. Before the cow could do
any serious damage, the crew opened the cargo hatch and
pushed the cow out at 30,000 feet over the Sea of Japan.
