Someone from Alaska Bureau of Land Management saw something moving against the current on the Chena River in Fairbanks in Alaska last week believed to be an "ice monster." It measures 12 to 15 feet long and has an icy exterior covering.
So, what could be this moving strange thing in the river? The Bureau of Land Management- Alaska stated that their employees did not investigate and it is kind of far out in the middle of the river. They further said that the video was filmed by their Fairbanks District Office facing downstream. They are not sure of what it is and they are letting you all be the judge, as noted by MNN.
Some people said it was an "ice monster" comparing it to the Scotland's Loch Ness Monster. Meanwhile, others said it was just a "giant arctic crocodile," "zombie salmon," a sea monster, a wayward shark, a huge sturgeon, an icy moose hide or a mangy whale. According to SF Gate, if you looked at the icy odd thing, you will see it has tentacles and gills.
"It's the strange thing. I don't know what I would have done if I had come by in a canoe or something," said Craig McCaa, one of the employees of Bureau of Land Management who first saw the icy thing. On the other hand, he further said that by looking at it above on the University Avenue bridge he didn't feel too threatened.
Meanwhile, the experts from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game- Official stated that in the video it shows that it is just a "frazil ice stuck to a rope that is probably caught on a bridge pier." They further said that whatever it is, the Bureau of Land Management has enjoyed the speculation enthused by the public.
They said that they have been excited about the different and several explanations on their video of the strange river thing. They added that your responses show how captivating the mysteries of the natural world can be.
