Rare 'Doomsday fish' sighting by US tourists sparks fears of disaster
- Two 30-foot oarfish washed ashore on a Cabo San Lucas beach, drawn by unseen currents.
- The oarfish are tied to folklore as 'Doomsday fish' that signify potential disasters.
- Researchers note such strandings are rare, with only a few dozen California sightings in a century.
- Witness Monica Pittenger helped push one oarfish back into the ocean as it struggled.
- The oarfish can reach lengths up to 36 feet and typically live deep in the ocean.
- Two of the creatures were alive when beached and displayed silvery, ribbon-like bodies.
- The event followed a broader pattern of oarfish sightings before major earthquakes in some regions.
- Experts say such strandings are rare and not necessarily linked to disasters.
- The witnesses documented the incident for public channels, including YouTube.
