Was it an Ice Monster? Was it a "giant Arctic crocodile?" Or was it a "zombie salmon?" A short video shows an object swimming across the river. Speculations and theories have piled up online.

A short video of 25 seconds is taken by the Fairbank District Office of Alaska's Bureau of Land Management. An employee was observing the ice on the surface of the river when he noticed an object swimming up to the river.

The whole "thing" was a long-trail-like object that has some frozen ice chunks in a row on the surface of water. Most explanations go for a rope. It was probably tied to the piers of river's bridge and it gathered some ice while the melting ice moved on the water surface.

But a dark shadow directly underneath the ice chunks stirs many other factual theories to consider. Also, the object was moving against the water flow which is something a rope definitely cannot do.

The way the ice moved forward in a side-to-side and synchronized manner also strengthens the theory that the ice chunks stayed on the rough back of a "creature" that swam for a while just below the surface.

The Telegraph quoted Bureau of Land Management - Alaska, saying, "The employee taking the video did not investigate." And soon the moving object disappeared into the dark depths of the icy water.

It is speculated that the chunks of ice on the creatures' back melted and soon the creature dived deep into the river to its actual habitat.

Some people believe that the swimming body was of an Alaskan sturgeon or a bull shark. Other explanations go for debris engrossed by some weeds or any other thing that gathered some slush on top.

All these speculations and explanations are based on people's imagination and understanding. We are waiting for the scientific investigation in Chena River, Alaska to find out interesting facts about the underwater life in the River.
