After moving in a straight line for some distance the object slowly sinks back down and out of sight while the people on board the boat can be heard exclaiming in disbelief at what they'd just witnessed.

The video has attracted a lot of attention since appearing on Youtube. Some have suggested that the object is actually a piece of debris, a whale or a hoax viral ad campaign. Melarkey has responded negatively to suggestions that the video is a stunt to promote the college project he was filming for at the time. "Can't believe people are suggesting this is just a viral promotion for our college project which is only two minutes long," he said.[!gad]In the footage, the Nessie-like hump of what looks like a large creature rises up out of the water and swims across in front of the boat.
