Mystery Sea Beast Baffles Aussie Surf Cam Watchers (Video)

“Our Scarborough surf camera captured this incredible specimen swimming on a moody, rainy Saturday the weekend just gone.

“In the office we're thinking it's a shark, and with the incredible size a possible whale shark? If it's a white it's an absolute submarine.”

It's grainy footage, so it’s pretty tough to tell. But it looks like a large black smudge drifting across the screen, a calm yet rainy day at the WA surf spot. It almost looks like a giant amoeba – or perhaps a gathering of kelp – but it moves quickly through the water.

Of course, others chimed in with thoughts (or jokes) on what it might be:

“It's a narco-submarine.”

“A crocodile?”

“It's not a shark, no side to side movement at all. It's a whale of some sort, I’d imagine.”

“It’s on all three Scarborough webcams and consensus is that it is an oarfish, maybe disoriented after Cyclone Narelle.”

“Pretty sure that’s Loch Ness.”

Recently, surf forecasting and camera giant Surfline captured something strange on the West Coast of California. It looked like, well, aliens flying over the ocean in the dead of night off Southern California. From that strange sighting, Surfline wrote:

“We’ve seen some pretty wild stuff on the cams, but what happened this morning at 4:46am on our Ventura Point cam might take the cake.”
