It looks like it could be the same sea monster they found in White River Junction, VT in 1995. They put it a museum.

Okay, honestly, as a water plant operator I have to admit that we are often pulling dead deer out of our raw water source (city lake). Granted, we tend to be quick about it so our deer corpses tend to be bloated ‘floaters’ instead of decomposed. It is possible that since the reservoir in question is not a primary drinking water source a deer carcass could have gone unnoticed for a while.

Still, I really want it to be an exotic mundane creature.

Dead deer with exposed vertebrae……

To say that it is a log is to completely insult this ladies intelligence.

so yeah there is little turbulence and this one odd looking log decides to dive back into the depths where it resides until the next camera toting victim is to be be fooled?

it seems to have hippo type ears but a crocodile type tail. but the spikes were more pronounced IMO …

very clear pictures too! for something cryptid this offers alot of detail

I watched the video several times. This is clearly a dead deer that is partially decomposed. You can see an ear sticking up out of the water. The “tail” is the exposed vertebral column on it’s side. Most likely gas built up in the tissue and caused it to float up and as the gas was expelled it bobbed back down. The eyewitness did not see it swimming or actively locomoting in any way. I’m a resident of Connecticut and have a background in wildlife biology. When I saw this news story on WFSB Channel-3 (CBS) I watched the video several times then I contacted WFSB and asked if they had any follow ups on this. I told them that I suspected it was a deer and asked if the pond had been dragged. They replied to my email with one sentence: “You confirm what experts are saying”.

They don’t give an indication as to the size of the thing, but it looks like a snapping turtle to me. I’ve seen one with the shell the size of a car tire and the tail, which is very crocodilian, was about two feet long. Unfortunately this poor specimen was run over by a car. She’d come to higher ground to lay her eggs and had probably followed that path for decades.
