The "Association of Maritime Research" is calling for witnesses to come forward pertaining to sightings of a mysterious creature in the English Channel off the coast of Dover. A reward is being offered for information leading to proof of the creature's existence.
On 20th April 2009 Thierry and Sophie were enjoying a walk at the Boulogne Harbour. They are both passionate about boats and sea-life and intended filming the variety of boats sailing out of the harbour. As Thierry was filming, his eye glued to the lens, he suddenly became aware of a large shape which appeared on the horizon. Intrigued, he zoomed the camera in to focus more clearly and saw a huge, dark, rapidly moving object, which disappeared within a matter of seconds. Something of an amateur expert about the sea and marine life, he knew this was not simply the outline of a whale or any similar creature and was convinced that he had sighted some phenomenon as yet unseen by man. He decided to contact the AMR who are pursuing further investigations.Subsequently the AMR has collected a substantial number of testimonials from different areas. The strong similarities between the descriptions seem to confirm the existence of a gigantic and extremely fast-moving creature off our shores.Now they need your help. The AMR are appealing for witnesses to come forward and help them find the Channel Creature, or similar sea monsters. Anyone who gives evidence leading directly to proof of the creature's existence will receive a reward. "

That is quite possibly the worst video editing and manipulation I have ever witnessed. If this is a marketing campaign for a movie let's hope the movie isn't so cheesy looking.

btw, in the video, that black thing looks like a shadow from an aircraft flying above.

Video... so.... bad.... It looks like just a really bad edit of the shadowing on the video clip.

Considering that, on the AMR "Channel Creature" website there is a short video saying that "on Tues May 5th the creature's identity will be revealed", I think we can safely conclude this is viral advertising for a movie or some such.

As other people have said, hoax/advertising for a movie or something. The interview with those women wasn't convincing, they could have hired better actors.
