1925 [SUN] The last dispatch from a doomed Mato Grasso expedition received (Mato Grasso, Brazil)
1982 [MON] Alleged Chessie sighting (Chesapeake Bay, Maryland USA)
LOCATION:
the Mato Grosso area in Brazil
WHAT HAPPENED:
An expedition, which had begun on April 20th, 1925 into the almost uncharted region of Mato Grosso in Brazil, had started off uneventful enough.
Today a dispatch was received from Lt. Col. Percy Fawcett who had led the expedition. It read, in part:
We have cut our way through miles of cerraba, a forest of low dry scrub; we have crossed innumerable small streams by swimming and fording; we have climbed rocky hills of forbidding aspect; we have been eaten by bugs... We shall not get into interesting country for another two weeks.
Members of this expedition were never seen or heard from again. Since the Lieutenant hadn't expected to be back for atleast two years, no one initiated a search until May of 1928.
See, also, April 20th.

LOCATION:
Chesapeake Bay, Maryland USA
WHAT HAPPENED:
Chessie (a little like Nessie of Loch Ness fame), a Chesapeake Bay sea serpent, was allegedly sighted today at Love Point on the northern tip of Kent Island at the mouth of the Chester River.
This event is alleged because science doesn't yet acknowledge that Chessie exist because there is no hard evidence to support it... at least not yet anyway.
