Strange sighting on Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vermont

[pyrotech8285]

i basically live part time in burlington( i visist my grandparents there all time) and ive seen animals swimming in the lake a lot and this is obviously an animal, possibly a deer

Loren Coleman measured the distance to that buoy at only 60 feet. How big does that make it seem if you know that ? Champ is real and quite large, but this is not it. Try the video called "Lake Champlain Champ Sighting 5/25/10, Part 1" if you want to see the real Champ and his little friend in action.

If I had the time and money, I'd park my ass on the banks and film 24/7/365.

Around 1:15 you can see the length of this snakelike thing... But dammit if it didn't look like a big-ass snapping turtle in the earlier part of the video. That 'head' looks quite turtle like.... but when you go frame by frame later in the vid, there are some interesting movements in the water......

This is an otter.

and a 10m long animal that propelles vertical to move is a unknown species!! except the cadborosaur....

and this is what i see in this video - not a turtle, not a fish, not a little beaver.... folks these other animals aren't that big and the visible body part is clearly not in shape with these other explanations!! for sure not!! but the head is a strange shape. you can see the animal drinking water because it rose its head backwards after descending completely except its head!

[seko24041973]

i can watch this shot as much as i want - i stay by my opinion that this animal must have a long body behind the visible part underwater, there are vertical movements because of the distortions on the surface behind the visible body part. who knows about the distortions a diver makes with his fins when he kicks forward and there are the SAME distortions behind the animal about a length of nearly 10m. the distortions moves straightly from behind to the front of the visible part - so vertical !!!

vermont hippies need to stop making stuff up. looks like a dog. plus watch the other video the person who took this video knew it was there the whole time

[seko24041973]

snapping turtles grow up to a maximum length 2ft. the distortion behind the visible body part indicates vertical movements below the surface about a length much more than 2ft. i'm an experienced AOWD diver and know the way water moves when there are vertical movements below the surface. the descend part is to gentle for a turtle. to me an unknown animal but never mind... can't know for sure

@seko24041973 There's a snapping turtle thats close to 5 ft. in length in Alton Bay in Alton N.H.,People throw hot dogs to it,I've seen it myself when I was kayaking

[deadlyviper3]

it looks like a fat mother fucking snake at :50 to :54 but all the other shots i have no idea

[PigsCanFly99]

this is supposed to be stabilized .. don't look too stabilized to me .. I'm feeling sea-sick. I like your turtle suggestion except that at 1:04 we see a surface feature a full 2 metres behind the primary head. Perhaps a mate - I don't think so (tho). This is definitely a protruding feature and not a wave feature .. there are wave features to compare it to. And turtles normally assume a vertical orientation if they're stickin their head up above the surface. hmm interesting.

[duggie9]

Yep, that's Champ!

[MrAagp]

it looks like a turtle, but who knows

[pogsquatch]

How can anyone say for sure "it's not a turtle"?

Distance ... unknown. Backlit from the rising sun.

Apparent "tail" at end of video is likely wave action.

This thing could easily be only 2 feet long.

From what I have seen of Snapping Turtles on neighboring Lake George,

this sure looks like a biggun' out for a quiet morning swim.

I believe in Champ, but I don't feel this is it.

こーゆうのっていつも似たような映像ばっかりだよね。

顔と背中を少しだけ見せて遊泳。

カメラでは影程度しかわからない。

本当に存在するなら、一度くらいハッキリ顔がわかるくらいまで映­ってる映像

もしくはもっと体を出して泳いでいてもいいはず。

どんだけカメラ意識して顔だしてんだよ。

[DrJLan08]

not a turtle. not a snake. not a deer (stupid suggestion). im gonna say that all those ppl that reported seeing champ arent crazy. y would so many ppl make up a lie out of nowhere?? they wouldnt. champ exists

[imblue27]

This is one of our many large snapping turtles in lake Champlain. I've seen them do this exactly the way Eric has it in his video. People are getting the wrong impression with the illusion of it being longer than it is . Its caused by the reflection of the sun rise. If you watch the video, the sun rise is in perfect position to reflect off the wake of the turtle. I cannot be one hundred percent sure but at least 90% sure that this just captures one of the biggest turtles in Vermont.

Look, Ma! It's the Montauk Monster!

[beerpongchampion]

Should have jumped in after it
