In another recent sighting, a group of soldiers claimed that they saw an animal moving on the surface of the water. One of the soldiers described the creature that it was greenish-black and had a round head with 10-centimetre horns.
A third report came from Li Xiaohe, who claimed to have seen a round black creature moving quickly through the water. And he said that he and his family were able to see the monster clearly because the weather was fine and the lake was calm.
