Large Sea Creature in the Thames, or some sort of submarine?

[jc71]

I just caught this on the London Standard website.

Intriguing capture on a mobile phone of what looks very similar to pictures of the Loch Ness Sea Monster!

To me it looks like a massive whale of some sort, but I am not aware that whales swim up rivers like the Thames.

What do you think it is?

They can do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Thames_whale

Looks like you might have the answer, although it looks like a larger one than the 5 metres mentioned in that article. Also, if you read the article in the Standard, "experts" say they can't explain it strangely.

The article is here:

Looks very large both in height and length but hard to gauge on such a short clip - sure there must have been other observers though ?

Whales go up rivers all the time, we had to try to get it back out to sea by making noise from the boat. There were 5 boats involved in the operation, it worked.
Poor thing.

Jost this once, Filly? Mumsy promises no more than 5 bottom feeders. Oh and Phillip, Jost in case you forgot Dearie, you won't have to come back as a virus. We both know you ARE a virus and you know mumsy says that in the most endearing manor possible.
