This piece of footage has apparently been analyzed by experts and is widely touted as the real deal, but at the same time it has drawn its fair share of controversy and skepticism. The subject of the odd video has been claimed to be everything from a clever fake, to a hippo or elephant in the water, to a giant squid or even just a pile of floating debris being dragged along.
