They keep on searching on the surface instead of underwater. We’re back in the times of Dinsdale. We’re saying that waves are lake monsters. If I were a skeptic, I would be laughing. Give me a clear movement, a head-neck sighting…not waves.

A horse is a horse, a tree is a tree…now don’t tell me that a horse is a tree, or that a wave is a lake monster. Don’t make up shadows underwater, because the video is not in good quality, apart from the fact the the person must be a nervous man.

Those waves are normally seen in Lake Okanagan.

Cryptidcrazy said “it could be two submerged logs, just under the surface” and I agree. The waves generated by the onshore wind are being deflected by the barely submerged objects. If you stabilize any part of the film you will se no movement of the “objects” relative to the shore, only the waves move.

As for eels – I don’t think Anguilla sp. eels occur naturally in river systems on the West Coast of the USA. W

Depending on the depth of the water at that point, it could be two submerged logs, just under the surface. If that is the case, the wind could create wakes as the water passes over them. I’m not saying that’s what this is, it’s just a possible explanation. Personally, I’m not sure what I’m looking at. I do believe that there are large, unknown creatures in this lake. That, I am sure of. Whether it’s giant eels, Cadborasaurus’ or some other creatures, we many never know, but something definitely lives there.

Whatever this video shows, for the life of me, I’ll never understand why most “sighting” videos last for mere seconds. Aren’t we well past the memory limitations of digital cameras and cell phones being able to record only a few seconds worth of video? By close to a decade or so? Whether it’s Ogopogo, Bigfoot, UFO’s, or the Ghost of Abraham Lincoln, it usually seems like a case of these people saying, “Well, that’s long enough. No need to keep filming to see if the object moves or to see if I can get to a better vantage point!” Weird.

This video was mentioned on my local news with a snicker …They didnt even snicker when talking about the last bigfoot sighting in the area .

Those are wind rows bisecting with boat wakes. It is a common phenomenon I have seen on Okanagan lake hundreds of times in 24 years of investigation. Common sense should also kick in because if you contrast the objects with the foreground buildings on the shore, they are at least 100 feet long which is well outside the range of an Ogopogo. Most witnesses put the size as 30-40 feet.

Looks like either a ridge under the water or a couple of really big trees being hit with wind-driven waves. Nothing there looked remotely alive.

To me it looks like wakes – nothing more.

It is possible that the makers of the video were seeing other anomalies such as dark masses underneath the surface.

But unfortunately, nothing truly anomalous appears in the video.

It feels very staged to me. Anyone else remember the UFO videos from a year or so back supposedly filmed in South America or Mexico or somewhere? With the random chatter that helped make it seem real? This looks like the same thing. Horrible video quality showing nothing more than something that could be anything. I’m a believer in most mysteries, but a harsh skeptic when it comes to videos like this.

I’m guessing fully staged by the people behind the camera, either special effects added later, or something different in the water. The very bad 2001 internet video quality makes it very easy to add in whatever you want and have it look like it could be something that is actually there.
