a friend forwarded this to me - I don't know if it's already been posted in here - If so, apologies. Any thoughts on this? I thought at first it might be a cat leaping onto a fence, but then...where does it go? http://www.youtube.c...h?v=_dT0no1QZYI

Interesting... I would have to say it is an animal that looks to be swimming in the water before it was able to jump out and climb up onto the roof of the house/shed, but it's not a house cat. It's way to big to be a house cat. Just compare the size of the object to the van in the driveway just to the right of the object. It looks more like the size of a huge tiger/leopard/lion.....

Hmmm...  I hate to say it, but it looks too good to be true.

It moves exactly like a cat and when it first appears it also has the size of a cat. Somehow it seems to grow significantly during its journey to the roof. My guess is the camera was zoomed in all the way so small moving objects are almost just blurs. And instead of vanishing into thin air, I think it jumped behind a parapet wall. Here's another example:   http://www.youtube.c...h?v=2BM2X1D5maY

Interesting vid double D. Mannerisms seem like that of a cat or Big cats but the distances it jumps are pretty great. Would love to hear an interpretation from others. Still pretty sure its feline and in survival mode.

The first video is a bit fishy but the second one is so sad. Poor kitty .

Looks pretty big to be a house cat.  Very feline in nature of movement though.
Regardless... poor thing (and every other human/ creature that became a victim in that horrible incident).

[SpukiKitty]

The thing is, concerning the second video. I can't see how anyone could've noticed the distressed white kitty the first time in the original footage. Perhaps someone with Aspergers, amazing eyesight & a nice widescreen TV. Me, I'm just taking-in the whole horrible scene with horrified awe.

thanks, Jim...sorry about that...

[DrHorribleTime]

Intrigued with this video clip. Never seen anything quite like it.

I think many people believe it to be a gas of some sort escaping a tank as it floats by. It appears a few times behind the buildings it makes its way around.

I don't think it's gas... it leans down to take a leap to the roof... and then appears to bend over and left itself onto the roof.
Maneuvers similar to something lifelike.

Here's another good link, a bit more clearer then the other.

That is a pretty good explanation Kevinscan of what happened and this clip you found was a lot clearer. I could actually see the gas expelling in other directions that the other clips did show as well.

Experts debunked the video a while ago. They said it was either a small propane tank or a fire extinguisher. The reason it looks like it leans downward is that the tank turned over and back a little.

I heard this was merely a small portion of the clip and later in the video it climbs on the side of a building rooftop, as if it's trying to get away from the tsunami. I don't have the slightest idea what it is but would like to see the whole video.

Here's close-ups of the three instances of its exposure.





TSUNAMI GHOST CREATURE CAUGHT ON TAPE - Real Or Fake?

Ok…So it looks like a gas vapor, but it also seems to have a life of its own…this is a tough one.  I think we need to do is drill down a little more  and see if we can find out who made this video in the first place.

Thanks to some excellent detective work by Kyle Darkova, we learned the man who shot the video is Kenichi Murakami. It was shot in Kesennuma city next to the Okawa river.

KEN - We knew a tsunami was coming, we could feel it.

Kenichi started recording his video next to the river, but as the water rose, he sought higher ground.

KEN I was heading to the emergency staircase of the school….

Before heading to the school, however, his camera captured a different angle of the building where the unidentified creature was supposedly caught on camera.

This different angle helps explain what was going on here and I think we have a decision….. But Before I  tell you the official answer, I just want to say it was very hard watching a lot of this video and I’m very sorry for those who lost their property and loved ones in this horrific event!

The wall of water that hit Kesennuma was over 12 meters (or 39 feet) high.

Now, lets see what we have here.

And it says, and i quote, the video of the tsunami recorded by Kenichi Murakami has been determined to be real, but the claim that his video captured an unidentified spirit of some sort is…  not true.  What we are looking at is unidentified vapor - nothing more.

In the extra view of the building here, we can see the reason why the vapor would get hung up. From this angle we can see that the roof sticks out beyond the building’s walls. This overhang is the reason why the vapor slows and behaves oddly.

First there is a upside down boat here and then there is a roof that overhangs the boat. In between we see these open areas which would have air currents. These currents and the overhang of the roof above the yellow boat would slow down the vapors rise and cause it to behave oddly.

Wow, thank you MacC for finding those!
