I agree it does come across as someone trying to prove how badass they were. Like a big show.

A more prosaic problem I have with the story, something that has been raised by others, is your behaviour the following day and your descriptive language. You write like you're trying to impress. This over emphasis on style and embellishment can be a sign of those not telling the truth. I'm not going to say that you're both lying as I'm not going to pretend to be a psychologist, but phrases like 'Blow after blow rained down on it' make we wonder.

1) when you was hitting the creature can you describe it's screams?
2) Did it have hands if so fingers too and how many?
3) What is your perception on its strength? and battle technique?

Seriously though. I have seen multiple people comment on the fact that they came back and cleaned up without harming anyone so it remains concerning that in spite of this evidence that they mean no harm you still seem set on killing anything that returns. Do you not think they could have killed you if they wanted to when they came back to do the clean up?
That is not behavior indicative of a hostile being.

If you take a black light and turn it on in the dark, you should see fluids. Even those that were wiped away should show up. If it were me, I'd be curious enough to use the black light.

Perhaps the clean up crew had nothing to do with the first creature? Maybe this is a race that wants to keep things quiet on earth with no hostile intentions. The knife handle being left doesn't disprove anything I don't think.
Also the fishman could have either A) actually been killed or B) the shock and disappearing act could have been a self defense mechanism that kicked in and transported it somehow back to its craft?
Just my thoughts

I was also curious and I have 2 questions:
1. I am a mother, and know the behavior of babies sleeping, etc. How one earth does a baby sleep thru all of that ruckus? I mean, I can understand sleeping thru a thunderstorm or the TV on. Or 2 adults having a normal conversation. But all that thrashing, screaming, etc. I just dont understand how a baby could sleep thru that?
2. How does you and your wife reach a level of "realaxation" after an event like this? I mean, I can look back on some bad situations I encountered. And they had me messed up for days and completely unable to live a normal life (eat, drink, socialize, computer time, etc). How do you 2 just move on like nothing happened? Stressed out people, want to know
Also, a side thought. Regarding the alledged clean up. Even if blood is cleaned up, forensics can still find traces of stuff that the eye can not see. I personally would have taken myself to a doctor as evidence of an assault...then had police forensics look the place over. Just what I would have done *shrug*

1) I dont recollect any sounds at all, though my wife describes cires like an animal in pain.
2) yes it had hands and looking at them in my minds eye as they were palm up...three fingers and webbed slightly at the base.
3) Strength ? like a well built human but one thats never fought a battle for life before. Like a boxer who expects rules get shocked when a savage jumps them.
As for techniques, i feel that its mind was too focused on shocking me and not using its own arms legs and head as I was doing.
