The following is mookiebone’s video of something in Lake Champlain at Oakledge Park, Vermont, taken on Sunday, May 31, 2009, at about 5:30 am Eastern. No claims have been made that this is the Lake Champlain Monster or Champ, although my information is that the media is investigating this as a “Champ video.”

Furthermore, in many ways, this video fits into the overall more mammalian description of Champ that I deduced from my investigations, and have spoken of in The Field Guide to Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents, and Other Mystery Denizens of the Deep.

Please note, if video’s embedding has been disabled, find the video here.

Compared to an “unknown animal” taped swimming across a small river, March 31, 2007 in Northern Maine.

Other known animals swimming in creeks, rivers, and lakes.

UPDATE
The name and background of the 37-year-old individual who took the footage has been revealed and enhanced enlarged photos have been added to the greatly revised posting, “Media and Others Take Closer Look At ‘Champ Video’” of June 3rd. Please examine those images, and leave comments there, if you wish.

Your assistance is still important in supporting the museum. Please…
