What makes this interesting is that Piasa Creek feeds into the Mississippi River. There may be a logical explanation for it but what if a Soviet sub merely snuck up the Mississippi and got stuck? No less improbable than Project Azorian where the CIA used Howard Hughes Glomar Explorer to recover a sunken Soviet submarine.
It is indeed wondrous to discover a submarine able to navigate the locks and dams of the Mississippi River unnoticed and then lie in wait at the bottom of a muddy creek only to be pulled to the surface by a fisherman in a kayak.
I really wish they had published the brand of fishing line he used, because mine always breaks when I try to pull up anything heavier than a submerged tire or shopping cart.
Probably someone bought one. They are littered all over the world. The Finnish ex president's son in law bought one and it sank while being towed to be a tourist attraction. Another was sold to a Canadian business man and towed to USA, also used as a movie prop. The 90's were a crazy time.

PS - there is a submerged submarine, whereabouts unknown, in Illinois: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SM_UC-97

Lots of submarines, all over the world, were made during those years.
