Here's the article about the sighting and video.

quote:

The mysterious creature was filmed by the US Government's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and yet to be identified but the agency confirmed the footage is genuine.

The alleged 'sea creature' was snapped sliding through the surface of the Chena River in Alaska.

In the video, the object wades through the icy river – and even the BLM admits it is "not sure" what the strange phenomenon is.

It's a long strand of moss naturally flowing back and forth as the current pushes past.

That pretty clearly looks like the bacteria growths or whatever they are for a Right Whale.

However, a biologist who works for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, said the object was most likely just a piece of rope.

He said: "It looks like it’s swimming but it’s actually stationary and just wading in the current."

Two things...


1. How do we know that was a living creature? It doesn't even really move.

2. Why are videos of these kinds of things always so short? If you were really recording footage of a bizarre creature, then why would you not record for a much longer time?

It's not moving. It only looks like it's moving because the river current is flowing through it as it remains stationary.

When the guy zooms in, it makes it appear to be moving upstream because you can't see anything around it.

It's something stationary being moved around by the current.

There are a lot of things that look creepy when you are out on the water, then when you get close you find out there is nothing to it.

Definitely not a mammal. Mammals don't swim side to side. But it could be debris waving in the current.
