Ogopogo or unusually large bird or what?

Interesting video. Not sure what it is but I don't think for a second it is any sort of lake monster.

The claim that the "horns" are three feet apart seems like quite an exaggeration when I compare the gunwale to the object in the water.

Anybody have an opinion on what it could be?

What a ridiculous article that is. Who wrote this ******?

“And I’ve done some research since we took this picture and it’s not a plant. It’s not kelp because this is a lake it’s not the ocean. It’s not a sturgeon.

It’s not a dead deer upside down,” he said.

“You can eliminate all these things but the next question is, what is it?”

Almost anything else that you haven't thought of.

Then there’s the other thing. Could it be the legendary lake beast Ogopogo, which is also known by its indigenous name Nx̌aʔx̌ʔitkʷ (NN-Ha-Ha-Teek).

As Germaine Brown pointed out, “nobody has seen it” before, so who’s to say that it isn’t just that.

Pathetic.

From the photos (I wasn't going to go through the whole video to find the relevant bit) it looks to me like driftwood.

The foundation of all good woo. "You don't know everything, therefore I can proclaim any BS I want!"

The me, it looks like the prow of a Chinese dragonboat.

Could it be Pogomofo?

Could it be Pogomofo?

I'm back!

Looks artificial.

That's kind of what I'm seeing, like a partially submerged plastic dragon Halloween decoration.

Probably closer than what I suggested.

It’s obviously an Ogopogo. Occam’s Razor, people.

Yeah, once you've eliminated three things, what else could it be?

Why go looking for complicated explanations like discarded lawn dragons when the simplest one will suffice?

Who's to say it isn't?

 

[Ryan O'Dine]

Well, the simplest explanation is aquatic bigfoot.

Doesn't seem likely, Ogopogo is a ******* plesiosaur after all.

Bull ******?

If that's Ogopogo, we have hundreds of them in Lake Michigan. I see driftwood like that all the time in front of my house. This one is probably a section of a trunk + tree root, which can take on weird and twisted shapes quite naturally. When in the water for a long time, it becomes waterlogged (no surprise) and sinks more. It looks like most of this is below the water line.

A video would have been better than a still pic, because driftwood only drifts and doesn't self-propel like an animal would. But a video would reveal too much, and remove the mystery, so we can't have that.

Oddly, the photographers didn't say anything like "and then it submerged". It apparently just bobbed around there without moving, a couple feet from their boat, and they didn't look a little closer or anything? Methinks they knew damn right well it was just catching a weird angle on some floating junk and they are playing it up.

I have this new thing I call "Occam's Bandage."
