The video supposedly showing Mokele Mbembe is almost just as legendary as the creature itself. Everyone has heard about the video - some claim to have seen it - but no one can produce a copy of it.

According to the sources the video is from a 1988 (some source say 1987 others 1992) Japanese expedition. The video supposedly also made it to the TV show "That's incredible". And further investigation will suggest that it was episode 26. (See comment #29)


You'll even find a reference on Wikipedia about the expedition and the video:
1988 Japanese expedition
In 1988 a Japanese expedition went to the area,[15] led by the Congolese wildlife official Jose Bourges. Members of a Japanese film crew allegedly captured the first evidence of Mokele-mbembe.[16] As they were filming aerial footage from a small plane over the area of Lake Tele, intending to obtain some shots for a documentary, the cameraman noticed a disturbance in the water. He struggled to maintain focus on the object, which was creating a noticeable wake. About 15 seconds of footage was captured, which skeptics have identified as either two men in a canoe or swimming elephants.

That in turn refers to this page: Here which is all Greek to me. ()

That's the long story. The short story? This is supposedly a screen cap from the video:



As usual it could be anything.

If anyone can show us the video – I promise at least a star and a flag…


Edit: Additional Info

I found the opening of the show here: www.youtube.com...

It's the second clip in there.

Found it thanks to the guys over at Cryptomundo. Check out the comments section, looks like you're not the only one searching: www.cryptomundo.com...

I've seen that video but sorry, no idea where. The reason I'm writing is that it was probably linked on ATS as it's pretty much the only para type place I go.

It definitely looked like something big and alive swimming across a lake but too far away to tell what. I thought the elephant explanation pretty likely.

I've been looking for "That's Incredible" but I don't think they've released DVDs. I can't find anything on Amazon, Ebay, or through Google.

If a video did or does exist would it be wise for it to come to light?

I know it's a very interesting event supposedly, I have heard the stories of the video being irrefutable, not that it would mean anything on here.

What I am saying is, perhaps the video was removed because the realisation of what would happen if it was proven beyond doubt to be real, someone would want to go and either own it, or hunt it, and that should never be allowed to happen, same with Nessie and any other mythological creatures, or creatures that where thought to be extinct.

Example
COELACANTH thought to be extinct for up to 90 Million years , until 1938, when was was caught in a fisherman's net, fantastic, until you realise it is really for real almost extinct for real, because of Scientific interest, and collectors, it has been some time since they have been seen, unless I missed a report.

I want my kids to see them like this.

It should not be like this.

However that shows we have this habit of destroying even the most rarest of creatures, be it through the need for knowledge or greed, what would make Mokele Mbembe any different? surely it would be better off left alone and forgotten, and perhaps that is why the video disappeared without trace.

Just an opinion
