To all the people asking why the driver didn't swerve, I can tell you why.

In your driving exam you are told if an animal is crossing the road and you can't stop, then you run over it. This isn't an exaggeration it's the truth. Swerving on a motorway would be dangerous at that speed even if the lane either side were clear.

That is without factoring in the idea that the driver may have had a very slow reaction time.

Deer or dog, i'm undecided, but i'll do for dear.

Hi,

My gf is a Dog Show Judge, and knows characteristics of more or less all dogs. She is also a specialist in giant breeds (Irish Wolfhound, Great Danes, St Bernards etc) She sees the way they move and can identify with an experts degree of skill.

I showed her the footage and she said immediately, Great Dane, but a young one. They have a very characteristic clumsy lope, which covers a lot of ground.

No greyhound moves in that way, unless it was unsound.

So there you go folks, case closed. Big Dog.

It's a 3 or 4 year old deer. You can see the rack on it in some of the frames.
Or one of santas reindeer escaped?
BTW, all deer in England are property of the Queen.
Even if you run one over by accident, you can't keep it.

If that is a grey alien, then I am King Tut.

I don't think it's a deer. If you stop the video at the time the animal is crossing the last solid white line, you can clearly see a long tail. It's a dog in my opinion.

A large wild cat also crossed my mind too, but to me it's a dog.

That's the same thing I was thinking.

Well, I think we can all agree that it is NOT an alien and it is NOT edited in. Debating whether it's a deer or dog seems to be pretty irrelevant and aimless..

Same here

To get a good view, you must download the video, then turn up brightness/contrast and slowmo (depending on video player). Then you'll see it C-E-R-T-A-I-N-L-Y is no dog nor a deer. It looks exactly like a man/dog hybrid.

Cant someone get a copy of the recording from this camera at this time and date of the local council/government/whatever you guys call it? Or is that considered not an option?

I thought it was a greyhound, too. Although I'm no canine expert and don't think it is this >>> could it possibly be a borzoi? (maybe one that had it's hair clipped?). I've seen one run live before; they are large and quite fast at seem fast at full stride, too.

Just a thought.

to me it's pretty obvious it's CGI. It looks like a greyhound but it's too big for a real life one and 4 seconds into the vid you can see the car distance from the dog - the driver would have had plenty of time to see the dog at that distance - check 4 seconds in.

Also the person who put this up on youtube deliberately called it an alien grey - obviously they know it's not an alien - so probs a cgi experiment.

That is not a deer. It is not a dog. It is either CGI, or I'm going to have to have another look at those Egyptian Heiroglyphs depicting a man-dog crossbreed.

As far as that "this is a fake, move it to the fakes thread" bs, what in the hell is up with that?!!

Good lord, I don't think I'll even BOTHER to look at that forum now.

In my opinion, of course.

It is adinosaur because when dinosaurs was alive they lived in antartica and when dinosaurs was alive they lived their and then it started to be icy and then it was a globerwarming and the dinosauur got frozen and when the ice was cracking and then the dinosaur that was in a icecube it floated to the beach at NewYork.

IMO it looks like CGI
