The Leviathan: 700 Men Vanished. One Survivor's Lie More than 700 men vanished in the Pacific Ocean, classified by the US Navy as a training accident. But Lieutenant Lotner, the sole survivor, refused to sign the official report, knowing what he witnessed was no accident. What truly happened 15,000 feet below the surface? In this episode, we uncover the chilling truth behind the Agincourt's mission to track an anomaly displacing 400 billion cubic tons of water. Discover the creature the Navy classified as a national security threat and the plan to destroy it, which went horribly wrong. Case: The Leviathan Vessel: Agincourt Crew: Lieutenant Lotner, Lieutenant David Scott Lovell Depth: 15,000 feet Anomaly: Displaced 400 billion cubic tons of water - The Agincourt was a two-man submarine, unarmed, built solely to be seen. - The USS District of Columbia, an Ohio-class submarine, was meant to deliver the kill. - The Agincourt followed a "groove in the deep," a channel of disturbed water left by the creature. - Lieutenant Lotner activated forward floodlights at 15,000 feet to draw the creature's attention. - The creature, described as over a mile long with dorsal fins the size of a mountain range, vanished instantly.
