Greetings Saints!
I found this as a supposedly true story. Enjoy and remember to look up!
(Bwaaahaaaahaaaa)

Earlier this year, the dazed crew of a Japanese Trawler were plucked out
of the Sea of Japan clinging to the wreckage of their sunken ship. Their
rescue, however, was followed by immediate imprisonment once authorities
questioned the sailors on their ship's loss. They claimed that a cow,
falling out of a clear blue sky, had struck the trawler amidships,
shattering it's hull and sinking the vessel within minutes.
They remained in prison for several weeks, until the Russian Air Force
reluctantly informed Japanese authorities that the crew of one of its
cargo planes had apparently stolen a cow wandering at the edge of a
Siberian airfield, forced the cow into the plane's hold and hastily
taken off for home. Unprepared for live cargo, the Russian crew was
ill-equipped to manage a now rampaging cow within its hold. To save the
aircraft and themselves, they shoved the animal out of the cargo hold as
they crossed the Sea of Japan at an altitude of 30,000 feet.
