There are many interesting stories spread on the Internet. One of them is a story about a 15-meter long snake legend in the Congo. Allegedly, the unknown species of giant snake is believed to be hiding in a valley in Central Africa.
The snake will come out of the forest and attack any helicopter passing above it if threatened. One of the claims that the giant snake attacked the helicopter was made by Colonel Remy Van Lierde of the Belgian Air Force.
Seeing a Giant Brownish-Green Snake
Van Lierde, who served during World War II, made the claim in 1980. At that time, he appeared on the British television program Mysterious World and was interviewed about the giant snake. He admitted that in 1959, he encountered a giant snake with a brownish-green color while flying over Katanga, Congo.
Snake with Length 15 Meters
The region now called the Democratic Republic of Congo was indeed colonized by Belgium until 1960. As an experienced pilot, Van Lierde believed that he was very skilled at assessing the size of objects on land from the air. "In my opinion, the snake I saw there was almost 15 meters long," he said to the TV program.
"Furthermore, he explained that when the helicopter descended to a height of 9 meters from the ground, the snake lifted its neck up to 3 meters."
"Head Looks Like a Horse".
After that, the giant snake stared towards the helicopter, as if ready to swallow it. According to Van Lierde, the head of the snake appeared very clear and looked like a very large horse with a triangular-shaped jaw.
"I feel, and I am confident, that if I am within its reach, it will attack me." Van Lierde said, "Its head, according to me, has a width of 60 centimeters and a length of 91 centimeters." He is also very certain that a snake that big would be able to swallow a human whole easily."
Van Lierde also managed to take a photo of the appearance of the giant snake in Congo. However, the picture was taken in black and white and has distortion.
As a respected veteran of the air force, Van Lierde is often regarded as a reliable source when making claims like that.
Although, it is highly doubtful that there is a secret monster snake living in the Congo Plain. The problem is, the largest known snake species living in that area is the Python sebae.
The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "This python snake can grow up to more than 3 meters, although there are reports stating that the length of this snake can reach 6 meters."
